Have you seen this Sock Bun tutorial on Youtube? When I saw this new Manon hairstyle from D!va, I thought it looked exactly like a Sock Bun hairstyle! It’s so easy to do if your hair is long, and the sock stays in place all day. I’m wearing the Manon hairstyle with the LaGyo Bonbon headband, but this hair is also scripted with its own headband with color-changing gems & band.
I’m wearing the Greta Dress from Ingenue! This dress in Songbird print is so sweet, and I’ve also attached the Bizarre Flower headpiece (shrunken, and worn as a flower brooch) from Lagyo, to accessorize.
Gala Phoenix will be releasing 6 more makeups for the April skins today, but it's really 12 different ones because you get 2 variations of each makeup. I am loving the lip gloss and blush on these new ones, they're so cute giving the skin a slightly flushed look like you've been out in the sun all day. Each makeup also comes with light skin and dark skin versions, so you're getting a fabulous deal with these.
Here are all the new makeups for the Gala Phoenix – April – Petal [Dark] skins — all 12 of them shown below:
[ :GP: April – Petal Light | Dark – :GP: April – Sundust Light | Dark ]
I looove that there are two skin tones available for each skin, for example, the Petal light and dark are similar but different enough that you're really getting two skin tones for the price of one. Many other designers will treat this as a new skin tone, so in my opinion, Gala is super generous with her pricing.

I love these photos taken at The dome by five minutes after! I went here to buy the wood fence for my sim, and was blown away by the lovely mini-city build, all inside a small dome. It’s so pretty, and definitely a great place for photos! I used Torley’s Windlight settings for these pictures, and didn’t Photoshop them at all. I wanted to mimic a light leaks effect sometimes seen in film photography.
Most people know this iconic line from Gone with the Wind, but have they actually sat through all four hours of the movie? If you haven’t, you should at least once. Scarlett O’Hara isn’t exactly likable, but she was a survivor, and that’s probably why she’s remained such a memorable character all these years later.
I recently rewatched Gone with the Wind to get in the mood for photographing my current obsession from this round of The Arcade.
My friends were absolutely gushing over the Monique dress from PurpleMoon, and of course we all wanted the rare Floral version. With the right styling, it looks like something Scarlett herself might have worn while dramatically descending a staircase at Tara. As you all know, I have a weakness for period-inspired fashion, so even though the print does remind me a little bit of a floral sofa, I was willing to overlook that minor detail. The gloves are a lovely touch, and I’m even wearing the matching heels underneath the dress, though you can’t see them in these photos.
I normally don’t pay much attention to gacha these days, but once in a blue moon I’ll keep playing until I get exactly what I want.
Speaking of that famous line, let’s circle back to it for a moment.
The thing amusing me this week is watching some designers encourage other creators to drop support for LaraX, while also suggesting customers should simply switch bodies instead.
This dress is made for LaraX. I bought it because it’s made for LaraX. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have.
I’ve never switched mesh bodies just to wear a particular outfit, and I probably never will. If something isn’t made for the body I’m using, I move on. There is so much talent in Second Life that no single brand is irreplaceable.
Until something better comes along, I’ll continue wearing Maitreya LaraX. It does everything I need it to do. It’s funny to me that there are still residents happily wearing system bodies, yet some people act as though using a mesh body that’s still one of the most widely supported on the grid somehow makes you outdated.
I’m not resistant to change. I’m not afraid of trying new things. I’m just not interested in switching to something that doesn’t offer me anything better than what I already have.
Hello from the It all starts with a smile sim! I am rocking the new Carmen Midkini from The Secret Store. I’m so delighted by this cheerful banana print, it’s so perfect for summer! This midkini includes a fully customizable HUD to change the ruffles, braces, and belt color. This item is fitted mesh, it’s the best and easiest way to wear mesh clothing. If it’s not fitted mesh, it’s not awesome!
I’m ready to waltz around the garden in this gorgeous Blush Dress from ANE. The dress features a sheer and classic version, and a HUD to change the colors of the dress and leaves. I’m wearing the sheer version in a soft lilac color, with silver leaves. The sheer version of this dress has tiny mesh holes, it’s not just a sheer texture. The dress also shimmers in different lighting cos of materials. I rarely ever notice materials, but it’s pretty breathtaking when it’s done right.
I changed my skin again! I’m wearing the new Judith skin from Glam Affair. I’m glad to have a few new skins to add to my skins rotation.

The very same day I read this , I saw a Non-Sock version of the rolled up sock, that comes in colors similar to real hair (if that makes sense) at an accessories shop in the mall.
