I went on a little adventure today, looking for something new to me. I stumbled into a carnival that reminds me a BIT of the abandoned carnival in The Secret World. I used to play that game with friends who are no longer friends, which is a sad state of affairs but when you deal with people who behave like “digital people” rather than real people, it definitely comes with the territory.

Can We Talk About Free AOs ? Part One
For reasons I cannot properly explain I was compelled to try out some various AOs from Marketplace the other day. I decided that given the fact that decent AOs can be expensive AF that maybe, maybe I’d find a gem or two on MP. You never know.
For today’s experiment I’m not using vids – which I should have but RL is making it impossible ATM so I think I will experiment with shooting short vids of the AOs next time around and if so I’ll include this one.
I’m starting out with THIS ONE – MIA PRIMA.
Let’s start with things that are good: Continue reading
Dear Bouncer, Thanks for the Car
My friend Bouncer posted on plurk a Midnight Mania board the other day that was for a red car. It was THIS red car, in fact. As it turns out, I was flying out to Indiana that same day as my father had a heart attack the day before. I am not one for slapping midnight mania boards, not because I’m too good for them but mostly because I never remember to do it.
I logged in, slapped the board and logged out. Bouncer wanted the car for photo shoots and I figured, HEY CAR! Why not? I like Bouncer, he’s a good chap, and hell I should do something nice on such a shitty day. Continue reading
I’ve Always Loved Geeks And Nerds
I have to admit, I like smart. Smart guys turn me on. Smart girls I want around me, they’re funnier and more interesting. I work at a place in RL where being smart is requisite. We take it for granted.
Geeks and Nerds? They rule my world.
I was so tickled that Isla at Cheeky Pea created a new living room set inspired by The Big Bang Theory – it’s Penny’s Living room! I don’t have the chair out – totally forgot it,but it’s so lovely, I have to admit I was just delighted. I love how gorgeous it is and how many sit options she always includes. Continue reading
Time for Decorating
I’ve been adding some touches around the house, and so I thought I’d share what I’ve been up to on a Saturday morning. Alouette has released a lovely table with fall decor and a clock, perfect for an entry way or hall needing a little touch.
I also put a coffee station right in my foyer, no more pesky walking to the kitchen to obtain coffee. Walking is for peasants I tell you !
Now that I’ve got a hot beverage, I guess it’s time to sort out how to play WoW again since the WoD launch. It’s hard, all these video game things to sort out.
I’ll figure it out eventually. Perhaps shortly after I have this macaron?
Or tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.

Let’s Talk Simple
A nice job texturing a simple dress can be as much of a skill as anything. This little halter dress from Ducknipple makes me think it’d be cute at a more elegant pool party as well – with your swimming suit underneath.
It’s perfect for the cocktail hour of said party. It makes me feel summery and ready to be rid of all my baggage of the winter season. I am also wearing some kicky new pumps for SLINK feet that are from LWarwick. They’re nicely made and great slip ons for casual or more dressy occasions too. Continue reading
A Second Life Christmas
Well I admit I might have the most spoiled Zooby baby in all of the grid officially now. She not only has her own bedroom in my house, but now I got her Christmas gifts and these were Christmas cookies shipped for me with love. Well, it’s Tymmerie Thorne’s fault because she gave me extras from the Woodland Gacha and then well, I was so excited about it. So I also got her a doll wardrobe and some dolls.
WHY SHOULD MY FAKE BABY NOT HAVE CHRISTMAS PEOPLE? Continue reading
Guest Stylist: Maeve Byron
It’s been a while since we have featured a guest stylist here at It’s Only Fashion, but after I ran into Maeve Byron at the Mahrathon this weekend, I had to ask her to volunteer. She said she liked the blog, so of course, I wanted to feature her. Besides, she was a generous supporter of the Mahrathon – which raised 322,000 lindens for Heifer International. Yay!
According to Maeve, “I guess my style puts comfort as the main priority. Although fashion blogs like A Passion For Virtual Fashion, Juicybomb and of course It’s Only Fashion have inspired me, I don’t really jump on cutting edge style; I prefer a more classic look…maybe it’s an age thing. I like to look smart, tasteful, cute and approachable.”
I think she succeeds. Don’t you?
Busy Pixel Life
I had a busy morning and afternoon, but nothing some fuel couldn’t help me power through. I had to pay the rent and then run off to do some shopping. Pixel Food should just magically appear don’t you think?
Luckily I know a great meat market.
I picked up new heels from LaRoo at Shoetopia and they’re adorable. They’ve got an easy skin matching system, puts me in mine of how GOS does it with a database. The match for me was fast and easy. The shoes were comfortable and cute for my daily shopping trip and perfect for entertaining. They dress up or down perfectly with their Mary Jane inspired styling. Continue reading
Saturday Morning Photobomb Cat
I was ecstatic to the point of ridiculous that Mudhoney released MUMS for Fifty Linden Friday yesterday. If you aren’t from the US – mums are the official herald of fall. I’ve started my fall decorating, adding the rocker just released from What Next and now the mums. YAY for fall decorating!
My cat, my FIRST cat, Snake Plisskin is so glad to be out of the his Inventory Kennel. He follows me around everywhere and would not let me take a photo without him. He’s a very spoiled pretend cat.
I have such a hectic schedule today though, I have to grab a cup and RUN because both lives are completely booked full. Continue reading
