There’s something magical about early evenings at the Soul2Soul Mediterranean sim. Inspired by the sun-soaked charm of Portofino, this picturesque coastal retreat is the perfect place for a sunset passeggiata—that leisurely, pre-dinner stroll that Italians have mastered to an art form.

passeggiata in Portofino, the SL way

I wandered past pastel façades, bougainvillea-covered walls, and—you guessed it—a gelateria. And yes, I absolutely indulged in a cone of silky Bronte pistachio gelato before dinner. Is that even a question? In Italy, gelato is practically a food group. No one’s judging. (Unlike ordering a cappuccino after 11 AM… that will get you side-eyed.)

Style Meets Stroll

For this dreamy evening, I wore the Liora dress by Giz Seorn, available now at Uber. It’s everything a summer dress should be—breezy, elegant, and cinched at the waist with the most gorgeous statement belt. It has that effortless “I just threw this on” feel while still making you look like you stepped out of a vacation catalog.
No heels tonight—this is a stroll, not a strut. I slipped on the Tara sandals by Ohemo—simple, strappy, and comfortable enough to meander through cobblestone alleys and along the bay.
And no bag. Because in my fantasy, this dress has pockets. Obviously. My phone and keys are tucked in somewhere magical. Who needs a purse when your outfit is doing the work?
To keep the accessories balanced, I went with Yummy’s Solace ring and bracelet sets—delicate and minimal, just enough to complement the bold belt without competing.

Coral, by The Skinnery

Heat-Proof Glam

Despite the heat, my skin stayed fresh and glowy thanks to The Skinnery’s Coral skin, which gives me that just-hydrated, sun-kissed look. And my hair? Flawless. I’m wearing FAGA’s Triumph, a lush, long style that holds up perfectly—even in imaginary coastal humidity.

Now here’s the real dilemma: do I go back for a second gelato? Cooking feels wildly unnecessary when pistachio and sea breeze are on the menu. Don’t judge—I already walked half the sim.

Until next time: be kind, skip the rules, and always say yes to gelato! 💚

Some days, it’s about digital fashion and styling in Second Life. Other days, it’s a personal journal where I unpack random thoughts, trends, or things that just won’t leave my head. I review skins I love, explore beautiful places you might’ve missed, and always keep a sharp eye on details that matter.
