AMACCI

First up we have the adorable pigtails & buns from Amacci.. these are just my style. The hairs come with a color change hud which, includes several hair colors along with some ombre/fades, and you can also change the colors of the bows.

LM to Amacci @ hair fair

Amaicci also has a bangin’ freebie that comes in a ton of colors, shown below!

LITTLE BONES

Here are my favorites from Little Bones this year at the event. I love this brown to pastel pink fade color because it reminds me of my RL hair (talk about high maintenance!).

SUGARSMACK

I discovered Sugarsmack last year at hair fair and the Brynn hair is one of my favorites this year. Braids<3!!

GEEK

Next we have Geek. These hairs come with a color change hud as well, and you can also change the color of the streaks in the hair for a more customizable look!

Posted on July 1, 2014 by Guinevere Kirshner

Oh hi! I took a bit of a break from blogging at the end of June because I (drunkenly) decided to start DJing weekly again! It’s fun, though, I’m not complaining! It’s just taken me a little be longer to find the time management sweet spot.

Ice Cream Friday & My Blogging Journey Meme

Posted on June 6, 2014 by Guinevere Kirshner

I thought I was going to do a super quick blog post, but turns out I am really bad about checking to make sure attachments aren’t going into my face/body. Whoops. Soo.. An hour later.. I finally have some bloggable photos. Photos were taken on the always adorable itutu sim. I also wanted to do the My Blogging Journey meme from Strawberry Singh.

Which electronic devices do you use to blog with?
I use my desktop computer only for this blog. I sometimes use my phone to update RL blogs with something quick like a photo post.

Do you have a mission statement for your blog, if so, what is it?
HUMP ERRYBODY! JK. Um. I just want to showcase my style, find new and gorgeous places in world, and wanted a new hobby, really.

How do you feel about blogs that use their platforms to spread negativity?
Those kinds of posts should be saved for personal blogs, not blogs where you are showcasing the work of others or where your personal life is not the focus of the blog. Even better– if you want to rant maybe keep a personal journal so you can expel that negativity and be done with it without causing a whole dramatic ordeal. Unless that is what you are going for. *shrugs*

Are you a grammar junkie? Do you thoroughly check your blog for errors before posting and/or do you judge other people’s posts if they contain errors?
I’m a horrible speller, so I do use spell check. I don’t use perfect grammar and I sometimes type things out as I would speak the words. I also don’t judge others on how they choose to blog. If the grammar and spelling on someones blog are so bad it hurts my lil head to read… I will probably not visit that blog again.

If you could switch blogs with another blogger who would it be?
Can I choose Jenna Marbles? Fuck yeah, I can. And I do.

Has your blog/blogging style evolved over the year(s)? How?
My photos are getting better sort of… (finally, geeeze).

What is the most extraordinary thing that has happened to you because of blogging?
Uhh… compliments, I suppose. I’m not a super popular blogger! Also I’ve had RL blogs featured in popular news papers and magazines.

When it comes to Second Life blogs, there are different styles: Fashion bloggers, Lifestyle & Travel bloggers, Informative bloggers, and more. Which style do you prefer and where do you feel your blog fits in?
Fashion for the most part. Eventually I would like to incorporate some playlists in the music section of this website (not the annoying auto play kind, lol) because music is a huge part of my SL. I have been doing more exploring to find interesting places for photos so I wouldn’t mind taking my blog in the fashion/travel direction.

What has blogging taught you?
That it is really freakin’ hard to drive traffic to an SL blog.

Share your top 3 tips for new bloggers.
Don’t be a dick, be yourself, and challenge yourself to be a better blogger/photographer/stylist/photoshopper.

hair: LaViere – Daisy/FrostedPink *new* for fifty linden friday!

Catching Fireflies at The Trace

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Guinevere Kirshner

Most beaches in SL look the same… but not this one. The Trace is a gorgeous beachy-but-not-too-beachy sim with tons of places to snap beautiful pictures. I’m using a night time windlight so you can’t see a lot of the landscaping but, trust me, it’s a great sim for photography.

I wanted a summery place to take some night time photos using the new Fireflies from Infiniti and The Trace was perfect! I’m wearing new clothes from Milk Motion and a few things from this round of Kustom9 as well!

I took the photos on Thursday (even though I’m not posting this until today) does a facelight count as a Throwback Thursday item? haha I THINK IT DO! Check out the pic below.
