I love autumn landscaping in SL so much! It’s so beautiful, cozy, and colorful. I hope that residents in SL don’t rush towards snowy winter landscaping too early this year, so we can enjoy a longer virtual autumn season and not rush right into Christmas. I’m at KiLu, if you want to visit this gorgeous sim!
My sweet outfit today consists of the Annabelle Dress and Leonie Cardigan from The Secret Store, for Collabor88. My hair is the Looking Back style from Exile, for We Love RP, accessorized with a headband. I am wearing the new Sydney Booties from Ingenue in Nutmeg color, which matches perfectly with my belt! I love when I’m able to match colors from different brands together.

Hi!! Inaka is a popular destination for bloggers and photographers this week, so I had to go check it out! According to Ziki’s blog post, this town was built by dai Lageos and yutopian Burton. I use to know dai Lageos years ago, back when I was a newb who loved to explore Japanese sims in SL. He had a 5 prim furniture store, it was awesome! Also, he was super nice to me, I wonder if he remembers me.
Have you visited Inaka yet?
Today I am wearing the Imaginative School Girl Outfit from Katat0nik! This outfit includes lots of themed accessories, click the link to see all the details on Kat0nik’s Flickr.

What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Truth – Candy (LightBrowns01)
Katat0nik – (Cake2) Wonderland Pendant Arcade
Katat0nik – (ltblue/thin) Imaginative School Girl Outfit

Do you notice something? Today my accessories, shoes, and dress matches perfectly well. This may be a Juicybomb first!! I’m usually pretty tragic when it comes to matching everything, so I’m quite happy to say that this was by chance since I just wore everything that’s new in my inventory. Sometimes I get lucky!
I am wearing the PACADI Jasha Amba Silk Dress in Light Blue and matching Pacadi Yfke Bag. I’m also wearing SiSSi’s Cutie Flower Pink Mint necklace and Hays Uriza’s Ellice Pumps.
I love the new Ellice heels from Hays Uriza, they’re scripted to change heel metals, show/hide jewels, change jewels color, show/hide leg warmers, and TONS more. These shoes are worth it.
During certain holidays in Second Life, you can acquire a mesh head for as little as L$10 or even for free! When I discovered that LAQ is offering a Black Friday Sale on the Era2 mesh heads, I teleported over to check it out. The Era2 EvoX head is available for L$10, while the full version is 75% off, priced at L$1,150. It had been a while since I last blogged about the Era2 mesh heads, so I took the time to become reacquainted with all of their features.
Let me begin by saying that I hold a great deal of admiration for Mallory Cowen as a creator. She has her own distinct style and has been creating in Second Life for a long time. LAQ has cultivated a loyal following. For many years, LAQ was my go-to destination for realistic, youthful face skins. Despite my feelings for Mallory and the brand, my reviews will always remain honest.
Now, let’s discuss the Era2 EvoX head. I was eager to try it on, especially since I could wear the new Paige (EvoX) skin from Glam Affair. I also noted that the teeth are now adjustable, which is fantastic! I have always wished to reposition the teeth to avoid them protruding when I adjust my face shape for smaller lips. Upon trying it on, I immediately observed that this EvoX head does not come with a HUD. It’s not a mistake; it simply does not include a HUD. Therefore, you cannot change the lashes, adjust the teeth, correct the skin texture appearing on the ears (which is a notable flaw), or utilize any of the animations included with the full HUD. If you own the full Era2 mesh head, you already have this HUD, including the EvoX head version. However, for residents who are experiencing LAQ for the first time, here’s a pro tip: Get the demo of the full Era2 mesh head, and you can utilize the HUD on the EvoX head. Thus, this L$10 sale is an excellent opportunity for those dipping their toes into LAQ for the first time and needing a functional head. In my opinion, it is a mistake not to include the full HUD. Even free heads offered by other brands come with complementary HUDs.
As always, even though the head is EvoX and the skin is EvoX, the fit differs from that of a LeLutka EvoX head. This variation is true across all mesh head brands; the EvoX version is always… interesting. Sometimes it works well, and sometimes it does not. In this case, I found that it works reasonably well, aside from some texture stretching on the shadow of the lower lips.
If you’re starting your Black Friday shopping early, be sure to check out the FabFree Black Friday Listing. Most brands are offering discounts of 50% or greater, which presents an amazing shopping opportunity.
Good things come in sixes! I’ve just found a package of six Fishy Strawberry Oversized Cardigans, that goes perfectly well with six of ANEXX’s KnitLegwarmers Boots. I know, my invy is a total mess. How could I have overlooked these yummy cardigans!
The Fishy Strawberry Oversized Cardigan is available in six colors — and includes a pair of sculpted socks. I’m not wearing it in the picture above, but you can see it here:
I am wearing the cozy knit leggings that’s included in every pair of ANEXX KnitLegwarmers boots. Each pair of boots has 13 different knit leggings colors to choose from and a Nordic or Normal print version of the boots.

Whenever I see a Second Life skin advertisement, I always think, “But does it really look like that?” I stumbled upon Pepe Skins recently and after trying on a dozen or so faces, I selected one that I thought looked very sweet and definitely something I could wear.
I’m wearing the Mocha skin from Pepe Skins here, along with the body skin. The skin is created for LeLutka EvoX, and includes Brows or No brows available in just one color. This skin brand doesn’t offer much with the skin, unlike other brands where you can get at least a few brow colors and some makeup. I found the neck shading too heavy/reddish tone and overall the body skin is just grainy but I chose to wear it here cos I couldn’t make it work with my usual body skin and neck fade layers. But overall, the faces on Pepe Skins are all very pretty. They also participate in weekend sales so you can get a cheap skin to try out!
So beautiful, Gogo. I really miss having this face since getting the Lelutka head. 🙁
