    Glitter Tears

    Glitter Tears

    I love the start of October. Not only is the weather finally starting to cool down a little and the fall colors are coming in, but it’s also the one time of year when I feel really inspired to pull out all of my spooky-cute things. And what could be more perfect for October than spider hair jewelry? I’m wearing Sparkle Skye’s Along Came a Spider set, which includes spiders and spider webs that you can arrange pretty much any way you like. Scatter them throughout your hair, crawl them onto your clothes, or completely cover yourself in spiders if that’s the mood!

    Another thing I love around this time of year is pulling out all of my bloody lips, cuts, scrapes, and other slightly creepy little details. I scored these free Glitter Tears from Pity Party at an event recently, although I can’t remember which one. They’re just the cutest way to cry in Second Life. If you’re going to cry, why not make it glitter tears?

    My outfit today is the Dusty Outfit from Ricielli. Ricielli has always been known for quality ensembles and sexy lingerie, but one thing I’ve especially admired about the brand is the way they texture fabrics. There’s something really distinctive about their clothing that looks different from a lot of other brands in Second Life. This knit set is to die for, and I love that the dress and cardigan work just as well together as they do mixed and matched with other pieces in your wardrobe. You can find the Dusty Outfit at the Ricielli store (temporary location).

    Session – Athena Body Skin

    Session - Athena Body Skin

    Now that my shopping blackout is over, I rembered that I wanted the Oaklynn Gown from Just Because. I collect a lot of their gowns since I love their style and color choices. When I’m not lounging in casual clothes, my other favorite style is Victorian lady, so I just fill my wadrobe with lots of gowns.

    I went to Session Skin to try on the Charlize skin, mostly out of curiosity. I had no interest in looking like Charlize Theron, but I wanted to see if it looked good in-world. That led me to trying on a whole wall of face skins, only to decide they all aged me a little more than I would like in Second Life. The good news is that I still came away with a gorgeous new body skin.

    Session - Athena Body Skin

    I wasn’t even looking for a new body skin, but I’m always open if something suits me better. I tried on the Athena body skin and it looked great with a few of Izzie’s fixes. The challenge was matching their four skin tones to my Glam Affair face. It’s surprising that they only offer four tones and no neck blend, which leaves you on your own if you’re wearing anything other than a Session face skin.

    Still, I made it work. I paired the Almond body tone from Session with Glam Affair L005 for the face. What you see here is not the bare Session skin since I added a couple of Izzie’s tattoos, but you get the idea. One of my gripes with the Ethereal Essence body skin I was wearing before is that the torso was too shiny, and they still have not released an optional layer to fix it. Another annoyance was how the inside elbow sat too high on the upper arm, which looks awkward when you bend your arm. Since I bend my arms a lot in Second Life, especially when holding things, I notice it right away. The Session body skin, however, has perfect shading at the elbow.

    Session - Athena Body Skin

    If you wear lighter tones and want to try a new body skin, these are worth a look. The toes are a bit of a blurry mess, but overall I liked it enough to fatpack. I would never recommend a body I would not wear myself. The definition is nice, and I managed to match it pretty well.

    Chilly Out

    Chilly

    The new Ariella skin from Glam Affair has me absolutely thrilled! This beauty was featured in the Saturday Sale for just L$75 for the fatpack, and it might still be available at their main store. One of the things I truly appreciate about Glam Affair is their commitment to keeping their blog updated with the latest product releases. While their Flickr is a great resource, it doesn’t always showcase all the new offerings, so having a blog I can rely on is fantastic. Many brands have shifted away from blogs and are constantly hopping between social media platforms, but I value consistency. My main SL shopping catalog has always revolved around Flickr, but it’s nice to have that backup.

    Lately, I’ve been obsessed with Glam Affair’s recent skin releases. The shading is much softer now, and the skins have a beautifully smooth finish that I can’t get enough of.

    On another note, I’ve been wearing the Nysia Aviator Jacket from ISON, which is also part of this weekend’s sales events. Unfortunately, I can’t recall exactly which sale it’s in, as it’s not yet up on their Flickr at the moment I’m writing this. What I love about this jacket is its versatility; you can customize the colors of the jacket, shearling, and sweater. Plus, if you’re feeling a different vibe, you can turn the sweater off and layer it with another shirt underneath. I’m all about roomy jackets that offer mixing and matching possibilities with other pieces in my wardrobe. Happy shopping!

    Autumn Glow

    Hello from Evergarden Equestrian!

    A couple of days ago, I decided to visit Collabor88 to snag this adorable Maple Dress from Tres Blah. Typically, my event visits are quick—I know what I want, grab it, and leave. So, I teleported home, slipped into my new dress, and then, to my surprise, received an IM from a mysterious stranger.

    Long story short, he had seen me at Collabor88 and invited me to a dance club. Feeling adventurous, I agreed. But once we arrived, I realized I was too casually dressed for the very formal venue.

    This encounter got me thinking… For the men of Second Life, approaching ladies at events is surprisingly clever. It’s the perfect setting to meet stylish, well-dressed women! While I’m not seeking anything serious in Second Life, I occasionally do enjoy accepting a dance with a kind stranger.

    Made a quick video to show off the Alyssa Heels from G Field.

    To complete my outfit, I picked up these stunning Alyssa Heels from G Field. I used to be a huge fan of G Field and even blogged about them frequently. Their store used to be right next to my region! However, with the advent of mesh bodies, my interest shifted elsewhere. Recently, while casually searching for new PBR shoes, I was thrilled to discover this pair of heels priced at just L$200 for a fatpack. Amazing! It’s exciting to see that G Field is back and making PBR shoes again.

    Drug Town, RSCM38

    Drug Town, RSCM38

    I recently visited RSCM38, a unique region in Second Life known for its moody atmosphere of crime and poppy fields. I found myself mesmerized by the poppy field and even spotted some mysterious figures lurking in the hills. The area is beautifully crafted, featuring vibrant, colorful streets and plenty of places to grab a bite. You can wander around this place for days, and it makes a fantastic setting for photo shoots.

    The vibe here really reminds me of Cuba, from the colorful buildings and vintage cars to the scenic beaches. It’s a spectacular spot that’s definitely worth a visit!

    Laundry Day

    Laundry Day

    Sunday has rolled around again, which means it’s time for chores like laundry. In Second Life, I don’t often choose lingerie, but when I do, I prefer Bakes on Mesh for easy layering. They’re great for layering under other clothes to keep my look tasteful.

    I’ve also made a point of wearing actual underwear lately, instead of just turning on the alpha on my pelvis.

    Recently, I picked up a charming Nyla bra and panties set from Ison, and guess what? It’s a group gift, and joining the Ison group is free! When I first wore this set, I noticed the nipple area was quite prominent. But no worries — I just used the Bakes on Mesh add-ons from Maitreya and everything looked much smoother.

    It’s pretty interesting in Second Life how some clothes really go into detail in certain areas, if you get what I mean! Thankfully, some thoughtful designers offer solutions to soften those details.

    Sunday Coffee Date

    Neve

    Hello from Second Life! I’m really loving my outfit today with its soft colors, and even better, I got it on sale! I’m all geared up for a laid-back coffee date.

    I’m refreshing my wardrobe with Maitreya LaraX items, moving on from the old Lara model. I’m trying to shop smarter this time, knowing that these virtual clothing might not last forever as new bodies come out. Good news is, lots of LaraX clothes are up for grabs at low prices over the weekend, so reinventing your look doesn’t have to cost a lot.

    Neve – Smart Top | with Alpha turned on (yes, I’m wearing a BOM bra underneath)

    I’ve realized why I rarely wear pants here: many are too long and impossible to find shoes that fit without intersecting with the pants leg. But, Neve’s got these ankle-length Scale Pants on sale that solve that problem. They have a HUD that lets you change how long they are, choose different belt looks or just go without one. There’s a small thing though — the belt loop shadow stays even when you choose just the belt (without loop) option. Might be a little mistake?

    Cupid

    Valentine’s Day festivities in Second Life are a joy, regardless of your virtual relationship status. As someone who’s happily hitched in the non-digital world, I’ve always roamed through this virtual landscape solo. Honestly, it’s never been an issue for me; I adore getting into the holiday spirit and dressing up for the occasion.

    My exploration last year took me to the delightful Dunk & Hug a Linden & Mole Event, a first for me, and it was incredibly fun. Donned as a charming Victorian lady, I had such a wonderful time that I’m tempted to revive that persona for this year’s celebration. The allure of that period’s romantic charm is simply irresistible to me.

    Lindens & Residents Snowball Fight

    Lindens & Residents Snowball Fight 2023

    I went to the Lindens & Residents Snowball Fight at Winter Wonderland to test drive my new Dell Alienware computer. This is my second time attending the snowball fight event, the first time was last year. The Winter Wonderland venue is beautiful, but this year the lag was noticeably higher than last year, probably because 60+ residents were in attendance.

    Even with the lag, I could tell my new computer rendered everything beautifully, though I couldn’t really move at all. When other residents shoot you 3 times, you die, and you’re immediately teleported back to the entrance.
