The L$50 linden sale is over but the gorgeous items at Pixel Dolls continue to fill my closet. I had a hard time choosing between two new offerings but picked up this one because I thought it had a fun vintage feel to it. Continue reading
I love Pixel Dolls. Have I said that before? The store was one of my early shopping discoveries back when I was pretty new to Second Life. It was probably the fourth or fifth store I discovered and within my budget range. Of course, with the amazing 50L sale that just ended, it’s even more affordable lately. It’s definitely a place for stocking up on good separated like this highwaisted skirt. Now this skirt is one that makes just about any shirt wearable. I think my readers know by now I am not a lover of the crop top look – not in RL or SL. I want my shirts long enough to reach my skirt or pants and long enough to tuck in. Sometimes though, a shirt is just so adorable I cannot resist and then it sits unworn. Unless, of course, there’s a highwaisted skirt that can coodinate. Luckily, Pixel Dolls made this skirt in a host of colors.
I was eager to see the new Festivale sim. Whether giggling over the names of the Long Awkward Poses or enjoying the witty conversations on plurk with Autumn Hykova and Dove Swanson – I figured their new sim would be made with wit as well as skill…and it is. I was thrilled to find this old pickup behind the LAP store and immediately knew I wanted to take a picture. Happily I was already dressed in something that suited the setting.
I would rewrite that old, old song to say “Give me layers, lots of layers, and the ability to mod, don’t fence me in.” Take for example, this gorgeous cardigan. The wonderful Fair Isle knit and the lovely button details make me love it, but it’s a grumpy sort of love because it’s no mod. However, I did work around that and managed to make it fit me after all, but only after getting frustrated enough to close up Second Life and go chop up soup fixings into teeny tiny pieces.
So, when I got dressed for the MDR masquerade party last night, I chose the tangled skirt, but changed the rest. The big difference was I added Digit Darkes use with anything anywhere anytime Black Tulle Skirt.
This dress is so beautiful it makes me want Halloween to come at least once a month. With a dramatic full ball-gown skirt of spun silk, this is a dress to take your breath away. I found it on the hunt – not as a hunt prize, but an outfit at Pixel & Prim Paradise, one of the hunt stores. Yes, I know I would have been a faster hunter if I didn’t spend time shopping at the stores, but the purpose of the hunt is to introduce us shoppers to a grid wide selection of great shops, so of course I looked and shopped while hunting.

Yes, I went ghost hunting, and will share a great find in this post, but there were other Halloween promotions this weekend, including freebies that were just there and not hiding in trees, closets, airshafts and right in front of my nose. Take this lovely Halloween makeup from The Obscene – completely free and not hiding anywhere. After some of the toughies, a little easy one was nice. Continue reading
Sometimes you need to cleanse your palate with something different. After several black, red, orange and brown outfits faithful to the season, I decided to cleanse my palate with some olives.
Styling this look started with a coat by Damiani Fashions, shown later in the post. It comes with an open and closed option so I decided to style the coat unbuttoned and set about chossing what to wear underneath.
Baiastice is not the most expensive clothing store in Second Life® but it is costly enough that I do think about an outfit’s flexibility when I buy it. Can it be worn more than one way? If so, then I can mentally cut the cost in half, thirds or in this case, sixths. This one outfit, tossed about with other items in my inventory easily makes six different looks…and if I had more time, I probably could have done a few more. Here you see it as it is, out of the box from Baiastice Continue reading
I picked up this gorgeous orange jacket at the 50% of sale at Baiastice a few weeks ago and seeing it, I cannot help but think of the Blaze Orange mandated for hunting wear. Not that I plan to go hunting, but thi s would be the most fashionable jacket in the woods.
