LeLutka released half a dozen new hairstyles recently! I found this adorable Nook hairstyle to be my favorite, cos it also includes the texture-changing hair scarf. LeLutka also has a “Naturals” pack now! I was delighted that my favorite Blonde hair color, Marilyn was included in this pack, along with BlondeFun, Bourneville, IrishRed, Jessica, Metal, Pitch, and Praline! What a great mix of hair colors, and a great deal for someone who wanted to change their hair color often.
It’s cold outside, but in SL, it’s always hot hot hot.
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka – NOOK hair (Marilyn)
Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)
Zaara – Chanchal (Lavender)
Belgravia – Cascade Cardigan (S) Snow
Joy is discovering a Target lookalike in Second Life, aptly named Bullseye! Picture this: walking in, grabbing a basket, and immersing yourself in an authentic Target experience in Second Life. It’s strikingly realistic, mirroring the brick-and-mortar store we all know and love.
Imagine the thrill if Second Life boasted department stores where you could actually browse and purchase clothing on the spot? There’s something delightful about stores that truly resemble stores. Remember the days when hair shops were designed like actual salons? That added touch of realism was incredibly fun.
The Aimesi Elena skins have sweet faces & great highlights that brightens up the whole face. I am wearing three of the lightest skin tones – Bright, Pale, and Tan. There are darker shades available too for those that like a tan look. One thing I'm not completely crazy about is the ultra shine on breasts, it doesn't go with what I would consider a sweet & youthful face on this skin.
A few days ago, my friend messaged me asking what I was up to. My response? “Fixing my nostrils.” She replied, “I’ve never looked that closely at my face.” I can’t imagine not doing so! I constantly scrutinize my face, and I’ve yet to find the perfect skin in Second Life. The ability to layer up to 60 items simultaneously has truly transformed my virtual beauty routine.
For several years now, I rarely wear a base skin without adding some modifications. I owe much of this to Izzie’s, a brand that seems to fix every flaw in any skin. I humorously call Izzie Button “Dr. Izzie” because whenever my skin needs a tweak, I turn to her creations. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the Nostril Changer BoM layer. While I wasn’t particularly displeased with my original nostrils, the upgrade has made a noticeable improvement. Sometimes, designers add excess shading, which can appear too dark for my taste, but this nostril set keeps it subtle.
The Nostril Changer offers various styles, primarily differing in shading size, but my favorite feature is the optional highlight. It makes such a difference! I’ve also been adding more shine to my face using Izzie’s Highlighter Set. I dislike skins with baked-in shine but love those that include a tattoo gloss or shine layer. Glam Affair used to include this in their skins, though they seem to have stopped for some reason. With the release of PBR lighting, I think the demand for face highlights and gloss will rise, as it provides a nicer glow that matches the environment. When applied subtly, it’s fantastic; too much shine, though, can make you look like you’re wrapped in plastic.
I love this dress from Fireflies, it’s been in my inventory forever. It’s my favorite cheap but really sexy party dress. I chose not to wear the prim skirt bit because I absolutely HATE the one piece bit that is suppose to be a skirt.. but isn’t? It just draws attention to the crotch without serving any purpose, sooo… I’m wearing it without the prim bit! It’s hot.
And this is the Kalia hair from Philotic Energy <333. I’ve been trying to buy blonde from different hair creators, because I did an inventory count yesterday and I have over 80 different ETD platinum blonde hairstyles. I’m boring, hey?
Hi everyone! I was super excited to try on this Nicki hairstyle from Truth. I like all of Nicki Minaj’s experiments with bright hair colors. This Nicki hairstyle comes with some special hair colors not usually part of Truth’s colors. You can wear the hair with fun prints or turn the prints off with a HUD.
Today, I’m channeling a different music artist. Can you guess who? When I saw this bright red hair color, I immediately thought of Britney Spears in the “Toxic” music video.
Also, don’t miss out on Anthology this month. My adorable dress is the Lucie dress from Jack Spoon. This dress is PBR, giving it a bit of a nice sheen. I did notice my aerola on one side was visible through the low-cut top, so I added nipple covers. Thankfully, my body skin from The Skinnery includes them.
And since Halloween is just around the corner, I went with a red and black theme today. I’m also baking some sweets in my friend’s sweet retro kitchen! My baking accessories are the Chromaluxe Bakeware set from Waffle, which you can also find at this month’s Anthology event.
Even though I seem to buy a new skin every week, I just couldn’t resist getting another one. This is the Cheryl skin from Amara Beauty, available at Access. I’ve added a lot of makeup tattoo fixes to this skin; if you want a step-by-step guide on that in a future blog post, let me know in the comments!
Are these the victorian mini-mansions of your virtual dreams? I waited impatiently along with most of the Bellisseria residents for the 4th Linden Home theme reveal. You can go check them out right now at the SL Christmas Expo, an American Cancer Society charity fundraising event.
From what I can tell, there are 4 victorian home styles to choose from, three of the homes are two-story and one is a single-story cottage. I think the inside walls can be different colors, and the homes all have porches attached, which appears to have the option to select the porch to be on the left or right side of the home.
I don’t know why I’m not that excited about these homes. I think it’s the distressed textures, I am not a fan of super distressed furnishings in SL. I guess I’ll have to see if I can score a mini-victorian on the beach and turn it into a beachy victorian, LOL!! Did I ever tell you guys that I hate grass? Yea, I hate grass.
Have you checked out the new Linden Homes? Will you leave your current Bellisseria home for one of these or get a new account (10% off Premium Membership now) to have one? Let me know in the comments!
So gorgeous GoGo….Could someone point me in the direction of the cardigan? I have looked all over at Mode which I assume is Belgravia??? Maybe I’m confused…LOL. Thanks so much for the help in advance “).
Thanks for that tip Opal…..I never think to look on the Marketplace as I prefer in world shopping for the “experience” but certainly will in the future.
You’re welcome! Yes in-world shopping is more fun, hehe.
Although I was at Truth yesterday and got harassed by a noob asking for money for some hair, that’s the only downfall to it. Oh, and lag!
You look great, I’m so happy about the Naturals pack too.
Opal is blonde 95% of the time but sometimes blonde doesn’t suit the outfit so this is great news!
I’m glad they included Pitch that’s the black I prefer. I also usually do Praline when I go light brown.

Found it….right up front of course….giggles. Don’t know how I missed it.
What I do when I’m buying stuff I’ve seen on Gogo’s blog is check the Marketplace, the Cascade Cardigan is on there but it’s good that you found it!
