Remember When?

January is the month for looking forward, but it’s also the best month to reflect. It’s Designer Showcase’s 15 year anniversary, and I can’t believe it. I have so many fond memories as a blogger. Fashion has changed so drastically. Remember when we had to put on multiple pieces? Remember when our outfits weren’t as shiny as the ads? Lol, I’m loving the technology and showcases that let designers shine. Happy anniversary Designer Showcase! ❤️

The more you know…

You left your typewriter at my apartment
Straight from the Tortured Poets Department
I think some things I never say
Like, “Who uses typewriters anyway?”
But you’re in self-sabotage mode
Throwing spikes down on the road
But I’ve seen this episode and still loved the show
Who else decodes you?

It’s almost Halloween!

Okay, I love Halloween! You don’t need a traditional costume to celebrate. Dress the way you want, and when people ask you what you are, just say “I’m a bad bitch.”

Welcome to the Wild (wild) West!

Howdy Partner, it’s time to hop on over to Rock your Rack 2025 for all the shopping, Music, Food, Dance, Wrestling, Resort Partner, and Art fun you can rustle up! I’m wearing Manikin’s limited edition Pavlova dress to kick off the festivities. Dress it up with heels for glam or down with boots for boho chic—it’s your call! The event closes at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 5, 2025.

One of the things I love about Manikin is it included the perfect panties to wear!

Ooh, and Luna’s RYR exclusive Western Boho nails perfectly complement my outfit. See below for other patterns!

So pretty! 🥰

Sneak Peek: Rock Your Rack

Wake up, Second Life! Rock Your Rack is an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance, and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection, which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease. Fashion can bring us all together, wouldn’t you say?

It’s so hard to balance the end of summer and the beginning of Fall. Benk Couture’s Leaf dress fits both. I’ve been into orange lately, but Leaf also comes in other colors!

In addition to exclusive pieces, Rock Your Rack brings a fun hunt to the mix! Look for a clothes hanger, and you will find unique prizes such as Luna’s Catus nails!

Check out the other patterns! Everyone knows that our nails make us truly unique. 😀

The event officially opens to the public on Friday, September 26, 2025 at 12:00 am SLT and will close at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 5, 2025.

You left me no choice but to stay here forever…

Friends break up, friends get married
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
But I’m right where you left me
Matches burn after the other
Pages turn and stick to each other
Wages earned and lessons learned
But I’m right where you left me

Yes, I use songs for inspiration, but I’m really posting because Designer Showcase is back with its February round! I immediately fell in love with Sasha Design’s Michelle. It comes with a jacket, top, and jeans. As spring approaches, it’s time to start dressing in layers! Need a ride to Designer Showcase? Click here!

Happy New Year!

I love the start of a brand new year. Something really special happens in January too! Designer Showcase is celebrating its 14th anniversary! I hold a special place in my heart for DS. They took a chance on a new blogger; I will forever be grateful (omgosh, I just realized I’ve been in SL for over 15 years). The anniversary event will feature talented designers from all over the grid starting January 5th! My sneak peek is JUMO’s Avery gown. The top and skirt are available in multiple colors, and its gorgeous silhouette screams celebration!
