I have been revisiting old favorites again - in fact this time around, potentially the favorite. Without being too overbearingly Gillian-like, I’ll go so far as to say that this particular shop was one of the reasons I stayed interested in SL fashion over the long haul. It was the first clothing I purchased and thought, “this is very me.” The real me.

Those who know me might already know that I’m talking about ‘Kota Buck’s Savvy? brand. Looking back through 1.5 years of fashion blogging will indeed reveal that I not only own everything she’s ever made, but I very likely blogged it too

I remember the first item I ever bought from ‘Kota was a pair of “Colleen” bib shorts. They’ve been re-done since then and are still available in multiple colors in fact. The point is, I trash a lot in my inventory but there are certain shops that get a special place and will *never* be culled.

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you know that ‘Kota is now designing as Lindsay Armidi. Though I’m proud of her and eagerly await more from her as Lindsay, I’m not shy about saying how much I miss Savvy? I also know I’m only one of many. Of course, the good news is Savvy? is still around and most of the items I snapped here (no, not all) can still be purchased.

Take a little trip down memory lane…and think about the shop that made you stay

“Lick, Don’t Bite” is the tagline for Annyka Bekkers‘ brand of Blowpop skins. I’ve blogged her generations many times before and I love all of them, though “Tuesday” is now perhaps my favorite. I know the world blogged Tuesday long before (I’m slowwww these days), but I spent a good chunk in SL this weekend and focused on wearing these lovelies much of the time.

You know the drill - 6 tones, 4 collections, 3 make-ups per tone, freckles, black/brown brows and only 950L for singles! The collection I chose to build the looks around are the Tuesday “All Day” collection, featuring 3 distinct make-ups to take you from dawn ’til dusk.

“Tuesday Morning,” fresh faced and unspoiled

“Tuesday Afternoon” - shopping? Lunch with friends?

I’ll get to Tuesday After Dark in a moment, but my other favorite make-ups of the 4 collections released are the “Shir” collection make-ups, shown here in the Honey tone. They’re totally pretty, and are my 100% favorite Blowpop skins to-date.

Ever go through your inventory and start to revisit some of your old favorite landmarks?

They might have new releases, or they might not - but either way, there’s usually “new to me” inventory to be had. That’s what I’ve been doing the last few days…revisiting a whole host of shops to see if I have missed anything.

One of my first stops was an old favorite, BBBM. Every time I go, I find something else I want, even if I have seen it before. I also find that you can build so many different looks with Evelyn’s quirky and creative clothing…

Case in point, my best pal Woovis (Wednesday Soon) sporting a completely contrasting style to my own. I have missed you, Woo! <3

You know that fair girl that burns before tanning? The one with the freckled nose? The one with the sensitive skin?

In SL too, I most often wear fair skins because I personally find them the most beautiful for my AV and a truer reflection of my real self. Of course, many of my friends often sport the tanned look, which suits them, but I regularly gravitate to the fairer tones if possible.

In this case, I’m talking about the Gen 4 Fair tone from Minnu Model Skins, which like the other darker tones, contains a wide-variety of make-up choices for a range of different looks. It’s by far my favorite MMs release to date…as I know it is for so many.

For this post, I’ve let the make-ups in the tone guide my clothing choices…and they took me in and out of my inventory for several hours. I’m impressed by the range of looks you can get with just one tone - or even just one skin, since each comes with 2 different eyebrows AND freckled versions.

I do have favorites though…make-ups #3 and #4 (shown here) are definitely 2 of my top picks.
