We’re back, and better than ever!
Our February issue will not be all candy hearts and flowers. We’ve found some clever ways to give you lots of looks for you, your home, and possibly your loved ones, without any sort of lovey dovey overkill.
To decorate your home, Kenzie has stepped in for Jennaa for our 43rd issue’s Fashionable Furnishings, giving us a home that will fill up your heart with warmth and send you shopping. Kenzie has also kept up with her Take Two, giving the girls AND boys some looks you can take right to the bed!
Ely’s all new Fantasy spread gives us a look at a very unusual love affair, meanwhile Ry has taken us on destination this month, for a very romantic Valentine getaway idea. While we are thinking about love – Fayne’s Fresh Faces is featuring the love child new store: Mon Tissu, you won’t want to miss that read and interview with the brilliant duo.
James’ Bleeding edge as well as his February photo spread stray from the pink and red that you might have been expecting, giving us some extraordinary visuals, the later still romantically inspired in a unique way. To celebrate some of the month’s other fun events our guest photographer Rosenrot Nemeth is taking us on a walk down the red carpet in a tribute to award shows.
Ali’s rounded things out in her Mini Guide’s clever jewelry picks, aimed at readers who are looking for something for their someone special, and I’ve also given you quite a few accessory suggestions that will sparkle and shine just like the apple of your eye in this month’s Editor’s Picks.
Finally, Sophia’s sharing yet another amazing interview with our February Second Style Icon – Kyoot’s Saeya Nyanda, and of course…we couldn’t leave the issue without a little bit of valentine’s lingerie with our gorgeous Gabby!
Even though our pages aren’t plastered in all things romance…we do wish you a very Happy Valentine’s, and hope you will continue to be ours <3
I am notoriously inattentive. So I was at a loss over who to blog this week on Second Style when I thought, I’ll poke about Copley Square and see who my neighbors are. Maybe one of them will inspire me. I only had to walk as far as next door when I ran into Onyx Wear and his recent release of CUTE panties with matching nipple tape for each pair!

That stampede of stiletto’s and other impractical shoes was the rush of bloggers headed over to L’Abel to preview the gorgeous new collection of designs by Neferia Abel.
Not to be left out, I made my way over as quickly as I could get logged in yesterday and as always Nef has given us a collection from cocktail to casual that are sure to please lovers of classic lines and vintage inspired themes.
The Brielle cocktail gown comes in either gold or silver sequins. Obviously you need them both.
These gorgeous dresses are wonderfully complimented by the recently released jewelry from Donna Flora – Cleo, which features a stylized Cleopatra collar that’s suitable for a girl with a graceful neck. I’m always in love with Donna Flora’s releases and can seldom choose between her clothes OR her jewelry.
What can I say? I TOTALLY fangirl Squinternet. Shhh don’t tell her that.

Jennaa Loire, from SL House & Garden, and who also writes Fashionable Furnishings for Second Style, sent me a private plurk… “Did you get your trophy?” I rushed to dig through my inventory as fast as RL would allow. This is what I found!!!!
Thank you for the nominations and votes for Best Magazine in the SL House & Garden Group Awards. I’m very honored and feel very grateful to be recognized. This award would have not been possible with out the hard work and dedication of my team. They make the magazine what it is with the beautiful content provided both in words and photography.
I huge thank you to my editor and friend, Felicity Blumenthal. She is the backbone of the operation and I wouldn’t be able to do any of this on my own.
There are things in this world that are beautiful to behold.
Some are nice and pleasing.
And some call you from deep inside and let you know that they are yours, and are waiting for you. But you have to take the leap. You have to make them yours. Read the rest of this entry »
It started innocently enough. I went to Bottle Bird to get a shirt of some sort to match these pants. And then, I realized that they had created the Wallpaper Shoes that I had coveted a few weeks ago, so I had to have THOSE too!
But then I started looking around. EEK! Cute Boutique alert! Read the rest of this entry »
Second Style Island, and previously known as Le Zoo has had a terrific 4 years! Our rebuild took place a year ago already, and we’ve enjoyed all of our renters, and customers alike.
However, HeatherDawn Cohen’s RL business is starting to take off, and she cannot juggle everything! So, we’ve decided to put the sim up for sale. The magazine however, and blog will not be affected at all by this transition, and we are looking forward to many more issues!
If you, or anyone you know are interested in purchasing a Full Sim, please contact heatherdawncohen@gmail.com. We would like to get the sale completed quickly, and are considering all offers.
…is you.
Oh I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents underneath

Come here…I have something to tell you. Closer. Come on now…don’t be shy.
The Secret Store…have you been there? If not, how come? Do you not like well made and very cute clothes at extremely affordable prices? I hope your answer is yes. Visit The Secret Store. Totally worth it.
This new skin from Glam Affair…is just gorgeous. I know it is all over the feeds but seriously, if you do not have it…go demo it. It is beautiful work. The skirt I have on is from DeLas and tbh, I have no idea how old it is because I bought it on Marketplace. I typed in brown skirt and viola! There it was. So. Easy. Tesla boots and Maitreya finish off the look with just the right touch.
who told you that it was alright to love me
certainly not me
I was not looking for no love affair
and now you wanna fix me
I was not looking for no love affair
and now you want to mold me
Was not looking for no love affair
now you wanna kiss me
Was not looking for no love affair
and now you wanna control me
hold me

And you know, if the fashion mafia was jumping off a bridge I’d make sure I had on cute shoes before I jumped too, right?
Actually I’m teasing – I’m enjoying the weekly color blogger challenge. Sepia was a push though, and so I was torn between finking out and using a sepia filter and actually trying to style in that part of the color wheel. Read the rest of this entry »
I am having a weird reaction to the just released Milan Pants from LeeZu. Do I love them? I think I like them a lot. It may not be love but we will call it a fling. Maybe even a hot fling. Don’t look at me like that….most of us have had one at one point or another.
Know what I do love though? The new Holiday Hill makeups from Glam Affair for Eva. Gorgeous.
Long day. Hope you are all feeling blessed and happy. Now go shop.
