Embrace the Edge: Fashion Amidst an Abandoned Carnival Coaster

Hello, dearie doves!

It has been a small bit since I have written to you but I have been in some amazing events and had to honor my commitments. A lady always keeps her word. Now then, lets get into this amazing backdrop from SATO! Picture an abandoned circus, where the echoes of laughter have long faded into the wind, and the once vibrant colors now stand muted under layers of dust and decay.

The skeletal remains of a roller coaster loom in the background, its tracks twisting like the memories of a bygone era. This eerie, gritty atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for a fashion statement that’s as edgy as it is captivating. Yep this is the “Abandoned Carnival Coaster” backdrop available for WOW WEEKEND!

Imagine slipping into an outfit that perfectly matches this macabre yet not morbid setting. Think leather pants, chunky necklaces and of course, a clutch to grab when the shadows decide to scare you! Also, of course, the perfect accessory to tie it all together is a stick of cotton candy—because even in the midst of decay, there’s a hint of sweetness that makes it all the more intriguing.



Thank you to ROWNE for creating these amazing piece- The “Chiu Baby Sweater” atop the “Ihan Low Pants” and topped off with those amazing “XG2 Framework Sunnies in Brown” But lets give a shout out to Lelutka for this amazing hair from days gone by- “Salome” in shade Nutcracker, how beautiful are those popping curls!? Oh but DDL did not disappoint either as this is the best clutch for this adventure! It is the “Dream” Clutch and it is one I would grab even in real life!

The atmosphere is thick with a sense of history and mystery. The dampness in the air adds to the gritty feel, the kind that makes the hair on your arms stand up just a bit. But there’s a strange beauty in it—like a haunting photograph that you can’t quite look away from. This setting invites you to embrace the unconventional and find beauty in the unexpected.

So, next time you’re looking to make a statement that’s both edgy and intriguing, take a cue from this abandoned carnival. It’s a place where fashion meets nostalgia, and where a touch of sweetness makes everything just a bit more memorable. Make YOURSELF memorable everywhere you go!

In the world of fashion, there’s something truly captivating about blending opposites. Picture this: a muddy, toxic path that would normally be a deterrent, yet here you are, rocking it with undeniable style. Dressed in a luxurious velvet bodysuit, the fabric’s rich texture and deep hue stand out dramatically against the grit and grime. Well SATO has you covered on the pathway with this richly colored backdrop – “Toxic Muddy Path” and it is waiting for you at the 50/50 Event! You just have to provide the confidence- the kind that I know you already have, dearie dove!

Your “Oh Na Na” hair from VANITY HAIR is nothing short of outrageous—wild, voluminous, and full of personality, making a bold statement in contrast to the environment. Let’s not forget the makeup—FONTAINE COSMETICS gives your eyes a flawless and fierce voice and is absolutely on point. The shade is called “Metalover” and I am wearing Shade 5 so please, get out there and show me how this palette works on you!

It’s the ultimate juxtaposition: the gritty, uninviting surroundings versus the poised and polished look that you bring. It’s a testament to the fact that style can thrive even in the most unexpected places. This look is more than just fashion; it’s an attitude.

So, a huge thank you to ROWNE for once again getting into my head and plucking ideas right out and slamming them onto their display floors! This is the “Yuri” bodysuit and mini and they are in velvet! One of the most amazing but also hardest textures to convey in Second Life but somehow, they did it!

This whole ensemble shows that no matter the circumstances, you can maintain your elegance and confidence. So, next time you find yourself in a less-than-ideal setting, remember that a little bit of chic can go a long way!

Let’s splash into all things summer, shall we? Flirty little dresses, pretty shades that scream cool, and the cutest totes you’ve ever seen—this season’s got me completely inspired and the cherry on top? SATO is serving up absolute heat with their newest drop for the TRENDING SL EVENT! A new monthly Event that begins on the 15th of each month and ends on the 4th of each month.

Don’t miss out—it’s summer style magic, and it’s calling your name! I am using the “Retro Route 66” backdrop here and it just feels hot, stylish and just dry enough to need a cool cocktail!

Summer is the season to shine—think easy, breezy style, light-as-air fabrics, and outfits that do all the work while you stay cool and collected. Whether it’s brunch with the crew, a dreamy beach getaway, or just running errands with flair, the right summer dress can totally set the vibe. LA PLUME really came through with a new fun and sexy outfit “Paris 6” and it’s all about mixing comfort with serious style—effortlessly.

Make a splash this summer with bold tropical prints and a standout statement tote from VIVE NINE—“The Straw Basket Tote” is your go-to for when breezy meets bold just right. Elevate the whole vibe with a pop of gold from YUMMY’s “Flat Medium Earrings” and top it off with the ultra-cool “Geometric Shades” from MAJESTY. Slide into the effortlessly chic “Hoshiko Wedges” from BREATHE, and boom—you’ve got a head-turning look that’s equal parts relaxed, polished, and so summer-ready.

I’ve got a nail appointment coming up before my girls weekend trip next week—hellooo, sandal season! And you know the drill: if I’m getting my toes done, my nails are getting in on the action too. Now here’s where I need your help… I’m seriously thinking about going for a French manicure. I know, I know—it’s having a major comeback this year, and when it’s done right, it’s so effortlessly chic. Plus, if I end up not loving it, no biggie—I’ll be at the lake, living my best sun-soaked life. So tell me… should I go for the French? Or are you all about to talk me off this mani ledge? lol

Hey there Rosie’s and Daddios!

Want to shake up your style with something fresh and fabulous? Let’s take a fun trip back in time—because the past is packed with outfit inspo that still totally slays today. One era that’s making a major comeback? The fabulous 1950s. Think flirty pin-up glam, edgy rockabilly vibes, and silhouettes that never go out of style. Right now, vintage-inspired fashion is everywhere, which means it’s the perfect moment to give your wardrobe a retro remix. Ready to add a little sass, class, and throwback flair to your closet? Let’s dive in!

SATO has totally nailed the throwback vibes with their “Vintage 50s Diner” backdrop pack—it’s like stepping straight into a time machine! I couldn’t resist heading over to the Shop & Hop event to check it out, and let me tell you, I was absolutely living for it. I browsed, I swooned, I probably did a million double takes—there’s just that much to see! Trust me, this event is bursting with retro charm and must-have goodies, so grab your shopping shoes and go treat yourself. You deserve it!

With GREASE playing in the background and me singing every word like I was born in the ’50s, I made a beeline for the Summer Lovin’ event—and oh wow, it’s pure nostalgia heaven! From retro vibes to sweet prices, there’s seriously something for everyone. I couldn’t resist and totally spoiled myself with a haul of goodies (I’ll list them below!). Just like Shop & Hop, this event is packed with affordable treasures you won’t want to miss. Go on, channel your inner Pink Lady or T-Bird and treat yourself—you’ll thank me later!


The fabulous ‘50s are still turning heads in the fashion world—and for good reason! This iconic decade is a goldmine of retro-chic style and flirty, playful vibes that never go out of fashion. From the sass of pin-up glamour to the bold flair of rockabilly cool, there’s so much to love. Think curve-hugging pencil skirts, twirly poodle skirts, cute cropped cardigans, and classic prints like polka dots and gingham that just scream vintage charm. Cinched waists and feminine silhouettes? Yes, please! Whether you’re channeling your inner bombshell or just want a splash of retro fun, ’50s fashion is always in style. So grab your milkshake and lets head to the Hop!

Hey friends! I know it’s been a minute—real life called, and I had to answer. With a new semester of med school kicking off, I had to hunt down all the must-have textbooks (they vanish faster than concert tickets!). But now that I’m all geared up, I’m back—with love, gratitude, and a brand-new blog post in hand! Huge thanks to my amazing sponsors for your patience and support. Seriously, you all mean the world to me—I appreciate you more than words can say!

Now, let’s dive into this blog because whew, I had fun with this one. You know I like to mix things up, and I think I really nailed it with the SATO “Urban Stoop” pack for the Blue Event. I’m obsessed with street-style backdrops, and this one instantly sparked my creativity. It gives that gritty, urban vibe that makes your photos pop! So trust me—run, don’t walk, to SATO and grab the full pack while you can!

When I think urban streetwear, I’m all about baggy jeans, a cute cami, and a slouchy beanie—my go-to combo! So I raided my virtual closet and pulled out the GABRIEL “Black Cami Tank” and the FASHIONATIC “Pearl Jeans”—total staples. But every outfit needs that extra shine, right? Enter the KIBITZ “Cold-Hearted Bliss” necklace and my fave MAGIKA “Kat” hair + beanie combo. The final result? My very own comfy-chic stoop style—and yes, I’m definitely wearing this IRL today too.

But wait—I can’t forget the secret sauce to this shoot: the LA PLUME “Penelope” pose set. This was my little twist! Someone once told me when I was starting out in SL, “You should be able to work with any pose.” That advice stuck. So I said, “Why not?” and built this whole look around it—and let me tell you, the flow of this set is chef’s kiss. Smooth, stylish, and versatile. Snag it now at the LA PLUME mainstore—you won’t regret it.

Let’s keep creating, styling, and expressing ourselves. See you on the stoop. 😉

Hello lovecups!

Hey hey, Artifex here—reporting live from my cozy little snowed-in cave (aka my home)! ❄️ Just wanted to share my latest blog post in the hopes it’ll make you smile, warm up your heart, and maybe even get you dreaming of sunshine and spring days. Okay, okay, it’s a bit of a stretch, but I had to give it a shot, right? 😆

So, let me tell you about SATO’s latest creation: the “ICE CAVE” backdrop pack. It is everything I’m feeling right now—majestic, detailed, and textured to perfection! Seriously, you’ll feel like you’re on an epic adventure, discovering lost artifacts, and hey, the chill isn’t so bad when you’re wrapped in this stunning scenery. Just look at it!

Now, no one’s braving the ice without the right gear, am I right? That’s why I’m rocking my SORUMIN “Puffer Jacket” to stay cozy, and the PARE “Aradia leggings and boots” to tackle the elements in style. Gotta be warm, but who says you can’t look fabulous while doing it? To kick it off, I’ve got my GUAPA “Victoria” skin, DOUX “Apple” hair, and a little pop of glam with REVERIE “Glazed Eyeshadow”. Ready to explore the Ice Cave? Let’s go! With these PKC “Brenda” earrings to light the way, every step is brighter!

✨ The fashion girlies have spoken: The gloom of winter is no excuse for boring outerwear. Whether you go with a bold print, a unique silhouette, an eye-catching color, or some combination of the three, a statement-making coat will pay dividends when you want to stand out and “pop” amid a sea of solid black puffer jackets (and I have several lol)

Whether the temps are dropping at home or you’re gearing up for a winter getaway, a great coat must keep you cozy and stylish in the chill. Find the one that speaks to you—because when you rock it, you own it! As always, all links and LMS will be listed below and I hope to see you out there exploring your own caves- wait..what?

Oh, how I adore fall! From pumpkin spice everything and snuggly sweaters to steaming cups of coffee and those cozy days that seem to stretch on forever—what’s not to love? But, let me tell you, one of my absolute favorite things about this season is the fresh wave of fashion inspiration it brings. So, let’s dive right in!

As the crisp autumn air nudges out the last of summer’s warmth, it’s time to give your wardrobe a seasonal refresh. Fall is the ultimate playground for layering and rich textures. Picture chunky knit sweaters, luxe velvet blazers, and stylish leather pants. And don’t forget to embrace those gorgeous fall hues—deep burgundy, burnt orange, and mustard yellow. These shades not only match the vibrant foliage but also add a cozy, welcoming vibe to your outfits.

I’m totally smitten with MUG’s Claire Set—those pants and the sweater make me feel like I’m wrapped in a warm hug. Adding the right accessories is a breeze with this set! Kibitz’s silver “Anna” rings are perfect for a little sparkle, and Le Forme’s black/nude French nails? So chic! I couldn’t choose between gold and silver, so I went with a mix. Hey, if the models can strut Paris runways in daring outfits, I can mix metals without a second thought!

And speaking of showstoppers, the “Unique Handbag” from MVT is a total game-changer. The size is just right, and that nude color? Absolutely divine! Paired with the EF0908 Hair from WINGS, I’m all set to turn heads. Whether I’m heading out for brunch or grabbing coffee with my Elena V glasses perched perfectly on my nose, I’m ready to own fall in style and I am starting with this “Dream Balcony” backdrop from SATO! Isn’t it perfect? Available now for WIP and buy the pack, you wont regret it!

Fall invites us to celebrate transformation, and that extends from our wardrobes to our outdoor spaces. By embracing cozy layers, rich textures, and warm hues, you can create a perfect blend of comfort and style. Whether you’re enjoying a latte on your dreamy balcony or taking a brisk walk, this season is all about making every moment count. So, let’s dive into fall with style and a well-curated wardrobe and outdoor space that truly celebrates the season.

This journey has been a whirlwind of fun and discovery, from cow-print outfits to exquisite accessories. Let’s dive into the highlights! First up, let’s talk about the cow-print outfit from Believe. Oh. My. Goodness. This look is such a playful twist on traditional patterns, and I absolutely love it. The bold cow-print design brings a fresh, whimsical vibe to any wardrobe and is surprisingly versatile. You can dress it up with some sleek heels or keep it casual with sneakers—either way, you’ll make a statement. Believe has truly nailed it with this fun, fashion-forward piece.

Now, let’s not forget the iconic NV-0002 hair from Lelutka. This oldie but goodie has made a fantastic comeback in my wardrobe. Its sleek, sophisticated style adds a touch of class and confidence to any outfit. I’ve always loved Lelutka’s hair designs for their high quality and attention to detail, and NV-0002 is no exception. It’s the perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern flair, quickly becoming a staple in my collection.

Next, I have to rave about the amazing little purse from DDL “Fearless” This purse is a gem, proving that great things come in small packages.

Whether you’re heading out for a night on the town or just need a chic accessory for a casual day, this purse is perfect. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I’m sure it will be for you too!

No outfit is complete without the right accessories, and that’s where the Vipera rings from Icona come in. These rings are simply to die for! Their intricate design and stunning detail elevate any look from great to extraordinary. I’m obsessed with how they catch the light and add a touch of glamour and I’m excited to explore more of their offerings.

To top it all off, I had the chance to use the “YIIB” Paleto backdrop, which added the perfect finishing touch to my styling session. The backdrop’s unique charm and versatility allowed me to create various looks, making it an essential part of my fashion toolkit. It’s incredible how the right backdrop can enhance the overall aesthetic and bring your style vision to life. I’m so excited about these new discoveries and how they’ve reimagined my style.
