Thanks To 2013!

Happy New Year's Eve, my friends! This is my last post of 2013 in this blog, and I have stuff to say!




I wanted to say an enormous THANK YOU to all the SL creators who allowed me to blog for them this past year. Clothes, hair, shoes, poses, and home decor - plus everything in between - you all are the the reason why Second Life remains amazing year after year. You guys keep us looking good, posing pretty, and keep our houses looking more gorgeous than anything we could have ever hoped for. It's been a true honor this past year to use your creations and I am so looking forward to what you guys come up with in 2014!

And to my readers - thank you. Every time I post something and someone favorites a pic on flickr or IMs me to say "I saw what you showed and had to go buy it!" I seriously feel proud. What I do is not as big as what the creators of SL do, but I'm happy when you guys take the time to let me know that you like what I do. If bloggers didn't have readers, we'd have nothing. ♥

Please be careful if you're going out tonight and I'll see you next year!

I'm The Mother Effin Snow Queen

So as you guys might have guessed, I am ALL about beautiful white gowns in the winter. When I was chatting with Evie from Evie's Closet about her new gown, the words "snow queen" and "Motherf---er" might have been said. I'm not saying which one of us said it, but ... you know.

But hello? Do I not look like a beautiful snow queen??




The Iseult gown is just beautiful. There are probably three designers on the grid that I feel do a really proper white for their gowns, and Evie is definitely one of them. Every detail is wonderful on this gown, from the textures to the bodice to the lace up arms. If you're looking for a winter wedding gown or just a winter formal, this is it!

I have to go prance around like the mothereffin' snow queen I am. Happy shopping!

Pure As The Bridal Snow

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! Mine has been busy busy, hence the lack of blog posts lately. ["Yeah! Hence!"] But there are lots of awesome things hitting the grid, as I'm sure you guys are aware!




Rebel Hope has an awesome dress for you winter brides out there! The Crystal gown comes in both white [as shown here] and cream, and has a pretty veil included.

Truth finally hit us with some fantastic new hair last week, and I have been wearing the heck out of the new Dove hair! I am all about the side pony in my RL these days because my hair is so long, so it's great to have a gorgeous side pony in world, too!

If you haven't been to FaMESHed yet this month, you need to go! Although you can only see a bit of it in this photo, the Winter Dream Gazebo from Pixel Mode is a must have for your winter decorating.

I'm off to do more holiday shopping!

Cozy On Up

The weather here has been icy and cold for so many days! I hate it, but I DO like getting cozy when it's so very very cold!




Fri.day has some cozy things for you this month, like the Cozy Flats from The Arcade! These are simply sweet little flats with a bow. Reminds me of something a Disney girl would wear! There are 14 colors to collect, 2 being rare. You will need the SLink flat bare feet since these are add-on shoes.

Collabor88 started yesterday and Fri.day is also there with the Cozy Chair. I am in love with this chair right now because it also has a blanket that covers you up in some poses! I'm not using it here, obviously, so I can show off my shoes but as soon as I was done taking my picture, I covered right back up.

I hope you all are staying warm and safe out there!

So Let Me Be A Sparkle One Night

FaMESHed and The Arcade are still going strong!




IKON has released mesh eyes for FaMESHed! I'm wearing the Spectral eyes in blue. They're easy to adjust to fit really any eye holes [I guess you'd call them eye holes??] and you get the sizes like you get with the regular IKON eyes. I am not SURE if you can wear two different colors, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

I've been wearing the Daisy hair by D!va for The Arcade probably since the moment I got my hands on it! It's all messy and lovely and I think the stars on the headband are perfect for the holiday season. Of course, you CAN turn the stars off...but why would you want to?

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe this weekend!

Snowflakes or Starflakes?

Where I'm from, we don't get a lot of snow. So when we DO get snow, it's magical to me! Especially if it happens at night, when you're just not sure if it's snow or stars coming down.




Rebel Hope has a gorgeous new gown at FaMESHed! Brandi is a mermaid style strapless gown that will be a huge hit at any fancy holiday party this season. And let me tell you, this dress gives you all KINDS of curves! My hips have never looked so full!

But um, I'm pretty cold now, so I think it's time to run inside and cover up!

Iced Up

Oh my goodness, what a start to the month! Both The Arcade and FaMESHed opened with a huge bang today, and if you're anything like me, you are in shopping heaven!!





What Next is at The Arcade with these awesome Igloos! I'm standing in front of the Penguin igloo and isn't it cute? There are some poses in it to sit on top of the igloo or lay down inside. Cute! But the poses didn't show off my new First Snow hair and dress from Exile, also at The Arcade. The hair, hood, and dress are all one piece, and there is a HUD to change the color of the dress and one to do different shades of the hair. Mine is the Ice Blondes HUD and there are 10 lovely light blonde shades in this HUD.

Mutresse is at FaMESHed with their new Sneja boots. Like everything else from Mutresse, these are really well done and of course very very customizable with the color HUD. I went all one color but you can change lots of things to make your boots match your outfits.

Also at FaMESHed are the Fingerless Gloves from Kauna. They can be changed to either leather or wool, and there are sizes for both men and women. The hands, however, were a B to tint properly!! I am very used to having appliers now for my hands, so I'm definitely out of practice for tinting, but I could not get them to tint to match my skin at all, so I just kinda did what I could and let my windlight do the rest.

I hope everyone has a fantastic month!

After All This Time?

So I'll admit it. I'm probably the least "geeky" or "nerdy" out of my group of friends. I don't know anything about Doctor Who aside from what I've learned by osmosis. I don't care about Star Wars or Star Trek. I don't even care about having the latest and greatest gadgets and until recently, I've been using a super super out of date iPhone that wouldn't even let me Instagram!

But, I do adore my geeky friends because they teach me things daily, and I absolutely love the things that are out at the Geeks n Nerds Fair!




FATEplay has some fantastic Doctor Who themed outfits for the fair, and even though I had to Google it to see who Billie was, I do know that I love her outfit! Jeans, a great tee, and an awesome jacket? What's not to love? I'm wearing it in the Original color, but you can also have it in Dark and Autumn, and of course all the pieces mix & match. You will definitely mix the jacket and jeans in with your wardrobe, I can tell you that!

!bang is also out at the Geeks n Nerds Fair with a Geek Speak gacha! These are wearable frames that say various geeky things. Of course, being the book lover that I am, and will always be, this one spoke right to my heart! ♥

The Geeks n Nerds Fair is going on now until December 8th. See ya there, nerds! :)

I'm Bound To Thank You For It

A man sees a young guy standing near a dog on the street. "Does your dog bite?" he asks the guy. "No, my dog doesn't bite," the young man replies. So the man reaches down to pet the dog and the dog bites his hand. "I thought you said your dog didn't bite!" the man exclaims. The young guy says, "My dog doesn't bite, sir, but that's not my dog."

Oh. Blog!







Bubblegum Alley is a new event for kids and families and it's very cute! I picked up some great home decor there from Pixel Fusion and new-to-me store Noble. I'm always thrilled to find new-to-me stores, and this event was full of them! This round of Bubblegum Alley runs until the 26th, so hop on over and check it out!

Fri.day released some fantastic boots for Shoetopia. The River.Boots are lace-ups with a great wedge. They come in several colors, and if you buy the Dotty color at the event, 100% of the money goes to Soles4Souls.

Have fun!

Maybe Tomorrow

Around this time of the year, my blogs seem to get a lot more sporadic. I keep telling myself "Maybe tomorrow." But well, eventually tomorrow is today and that's okay because I have some cute things that I have fallen in love with over the past few days!




Coldlogic released some new coats and OH... they are perfect!! I'm wearing the Golding coat with the optional shirt and skirt. How adorable is this coat?? I love the little zipper detail on the sleeves and it's just so ladylike and classy! But if you didn't wear the skirt and shirt part, you could easily pair it up with other things to make it a lot more edgy and rockstar.

But since I was going for a more ladylike look, check out the new Maryse heels from Ingenue! These are add-on for SLink feet and I am in shoe love with them. Classy, classy, classy.

Until tomorrow!

Maybe. :)

Just Take Your Time

I do a lot of inventory cleaning on an almost daily basis. Not a lot, obviously, since my inventory is still pretty massive. But I throw away things pretty much daily as I come across them. A lot of the time, this does mean I'm throwing out something that was made before August 2011 when mesh came out. However, sometimes I find just the right old [vintage?] item deep in my inventory and I feel like it pulls my look totally together.




I really like the new Band Jackets from Cracked Mirror for FaMESHed this month. Being a former band nerd myself, of course the first thing I think of when I think of band jackets is the letter jacket that I wore almost daily, but these are more like uniform jackets. Quite structured, very classic. These come with a short "shirt" inside, and I kind of wish they had a no shirt option to pair up with a longer belly covering shirt, but I do like this a lot.

The vintage item I found that I felt really went with my whole look was the Ginger boots from Shiny Things. They are from 2010 [very old in SL years!] and just sculpts, but I don't think they look dated at ALL. *sighs* I miss Shiny Things. The store is still up if you want to shop there, though.

By the way, have you been to The Garden yet? If you haven't, you need to go. I'm standing in the Bozeman Barn by Barnesworth Anubis and is it ever awesome! Big rooms and sliding doors and this fantastic two sided fireplace. It would be great for a winter sim!

Time to hop back into my inventory...or go do some more shopping!

But you won’t find my name in your book of Who’s Who.

I'm not the biggest fan of November, but I'm happy that it's the beginning of the month because that means it's time for a new round of FaMESHed!




Emery has this really cool Los Angeles Cardigan this round, and when I first saw the vendor ad, I thought, "Mmm...that might not be quite my style." But I was totally wrong because when I put it on, I fell in love with it. It comes in the full version with the cardigan and shirt like I'm wearing here, a version with the shirt tucked in, and then just the cardigan alone. Options!

Mutresse proves that shorts are not just for the summer with the Lana shorts for FaMESHed. These are fantastic! And of course there is the great HUD to change textures on the shorts. I'm just wearing them in the plain grey, but they are really very customizable!

Get your butt to FaMESHed, because there is soooo much to shop for!

Falling on my head like a memory.

So I decided to take a break from decorating our house to do a little shopping. I got dressed up for the first time in days, put on my hat, and went out. And what happened? IT STARTED TO RAIN.

At least I look good, even when wet.

Um...that's not meant to sound dirty, I promise.




Ingenue has some new Odette heels for you guys! They are add-on shoes for the SLink medium feet. If you're STILL holding out on buying feet, then I don't even know what to tell you. Sorry that you're missing out on awesome shoes! I love these because they're alllllmost an ankle boot, but not quite, so that makes them interesting and versatile.

I need to go dry off now, and you guys need to head out shopping. Hope it doesn't rain on you!

Because I Won't Stay Inside

Oh my gosh, so so so much shopping goodness is going on! I won't write too much because you guys need to shop and not read, but let me give you a little rundown. The Garden opened this past week and the late fall-early winter goodies are all over the place! Both Coldlogic and Truth released new items this week, and of course you know I'm totally all over that. If you're getting into the Halloween spirit, be sure to check out the Tricky Treat gacha event and Horrorfest.

See what I mean? So much to shop for, so little time!

In The Sanctuary She Has Found

I don't really consider myself a morning person. I'm usually quite grouchy and disoriented in the mornings, and heaven help the person who talks to me before I have breakfast and my morning tea or coffee. But some mornings, like this one, I wake up and I thoroughly enjoy the peace. I can sit quietly, hair barely combed, glasses on, and just enjoy that I'm here for another day.




FaMESHed is still going strong and I'm loving the cozy Cowl Neck sweaters and Floral Leggings from Coquet! One thing I love about the sweater is that it goes down onto my hands some, which is how I prefer to wear my sweaters. However, I wish the inside of the sleeve wasn't invisible as quickly as it is. In certain poses, it's very obvious that the sleeve is only lined a couple of inches and then goes invisible. But other than that, I truly like this sweater, and the leggings are just adorable!

Also at FaMESHed, Trompe Loeil has this awesome living room set called Ashdon. I'm just using the couch for this picture, but the set has all kinds of goodies. This couch is texture change as well, so you can change the blanket and the couch colors to suit your needs.

Enjoy your Monday, everyone!

Hey-yay-yay Yeah!

The title of my post today doesn't mean anything. I've been watching a marathon of Dawson's Creek lately and on the Netflix version, there is a different theme song than when it first premiered, and now it's stuck in my head.

Now let's look at my legs and feet!




Fri.day has made some awesome things lately! The new Lovegood.Heels are for the Wizarding Faire and they are precious. They are made for the SLink flat feet [the AvEnhance version] so you'll need to have those. They are the sweetest little mary jane style shoes with a thick kitten heel. They come in all the House colors [like Lion, Snake, etc], plus some basic dark colors.

The new Knee.Socks are the perfect pairing with the shoes, too! I've been looking all over for some great socks that have mesh tops and SLink appliers, and these are just what I wanted. The mesh tops come in different sizes, but they are modify if you need to fix them to fit your legs.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Toothache!

Ouch, I have a toothache tonight! And why? Because of Candy Fair! It's so sweet, it made my teeth hurt! Candy Fair starts on October 4th, but I got a chance to head in early today to look around.




There are three sims of sugary goodness that includes everything from clothes to poses to kids stuff to home decor. I will admit that I didn't care for a lot of the clothes that I've seen so far because I kept stumbling onto candy colored corsets, but I lost my mind in the poses and home decor section! The things for the kiddos are so so cute, too! There really is something for everyone at the Candy Fair.

The Candy Fair starts on October 4th and runs until October 18th. Remember to bring a toothbrush!

Hayyyyy!

Two posts in one day? Well, when you're inspired, you're inspired! And I am totally inspired by Mutresse's offering for October's FaMESHed!




The Jana cardigan is so totally my style! It's exceptionally well made, it's super super cute, and I just don't want to take it off. It also has a great HUD for changing colors on different parts. I adore it!

Oh My Gacha also starts tomorrow, and there is much cuteness for it! I'm sitting on the Relaxin' hay bales by Nani for OMG. Nani has several cute autumn poses for OMG, so you'll definitely want to collect them all.

See you guys tomorrow for all new shopping fun!

PSL 4 Ever!

My friends always laugh because I am ridiculously into pumpkin spice anything. Candles, air fresheners, cupcakes, etc. I dance around all of August waiting for pumpkin spice lattes, even though I'm not actually much of a coffee drinker any more. When I saw the new Cocoa-On-The-Go Cart from What Next, I thought, "Would I not be dancing in crazy glee if this thing was parked out in front of my house at all times??"




Isn't it adorable?? It is materials ready, so if you are using a viewer that shows materials [I am not], then it'll look just a touch different than in my photo. The cart is just a decorative prop, but if you click on it, it gives you a menu and you can choose from a a variety of drinks and a doughnut! The cups are super cute, too.




I had to get the small PSL because it fit my hand the best, but you know I usually order a large! The Cocoa-On-The-Go Cart is on sale now at the What Next mainstore and if you are a VIP member, it's 50% off until Tuesday evening.

Oh, can we talk about my hair for a second? Truth released 3 new styles yesterday and I am in fangirllove with the Anita hair. It's long, it's simple, it's exactly what I need.

All this talk about PSL is making me crave one, so I'm off!

Anything But Ordinary

There's a big new Coldlogic release today! Lots of goodies just perfect for this time of the year!




I just adore the new Hedley tops! It's a great knit cardigan with three-quarter sleeves and a fun fringe. You can wear it with or without the tank top. I think it goes perfectly with the Seyfried jeggings. The awesome part about the jeggings is that they come with 3 different cuffs, so they are a little easier to pair under boots.

Happy shopping!

It Did Start Out That Way

Okay, okay. I know the theme is Flowers In MY Attic but all I can think about is Flowers In THE Attic. That was my first "grown up" series of books that I ever read and the series that I do still read through usually every year or so. So as lovely as the items are for this round, all I think about is ballet and picnic baskets and starving and arsenic. Sorry!

But um, let's get to some shopping. :)




Stellar has some really awesome tights for My Attic. The In Bloom tights are floral but not SO floral that it's too much. They also come with the SLink applier for the feet, which is definitely a must-have in my book these days. Lexi has also made matching In Bloom nails and I am just in love with the plum color! It's so perfect for the autumn season!

Also at My Attic, Pretense has the A Flower For You In My Attic poses. There is a 2 person pose so you can give a friend a flower, and then some single poses for you to pose with your flower. They're very cute!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday!

And All Along I Believed I Would Find You

We had a wonderful party last night! I didn't plan on blogging my dress that I finally found to wear for the party, but well, I logged in and I'm still dressed. And it took me SO long to find a dress, I feel like I should share! :)




So like I said yesterday, I went to La Penderie de Nicole night before last, and when I saw the My Swarovski Dress, I knew it was perfect for the party! It's short, but with the neckline being just off the shoulder and having long sleeves, it's both classy and simple. It comes in different colors and there is a same style dress without the crystal pattern as well, if you're not into sparklies.

As much as I like dressing up, I think it's time to take off my heels and go do some shopping!

She's Got A Little Bit Of Something

Hey, it's the week of the little plaid skirt! :) I don't usually take a ton of pics from the back, but I thought this tiny cute skirt deserved a back shot. Check it out!




I popped over to La Penderie de Nicole last night on the hunt for an anniversary party dress. I found one, but I also stumbled onto these super cute My Schoolgirl Mini skirts! Now you know me, I'm not one to pass up a fantastic mini, and these were no exception. The texturing is top notch, and if you could see the front, the waistband is a great belt! I can totally see myself pairing up this beauty with sweaters and tights and boots all through the fall and winter!

Much to do before tonight, so have a great day!

C'mon baby, I don't wanna hear you're shy.

I'm pretty modest in how I dress most of the time these days, but let someone make a wonderful miniskirt, and I'm allllll over it!




If you've been in SL for a while, you know Lexi Morgan of Stellar is pretty well known for her little miniskirts. Her new little Hayden skirts are classic Stellar style. Short, sweet, sexy and oh-so-versatile, you need them in your SLife!

Also new at Stellar, Garter belts, stockings, and panties! The stockings also have the SLink applier HUD, so you can wear them with your SLink feet if you have the avatar enhancement feet.

Hope everyone has had a great start to the week!

Ooh, it's hard on the man.

A new round of The Boutique opens up tomorrow, September 15th, and it's a great theme this time: Fifth Avenue! I threw together a look with some of my favorite pieces from this round. Although I normally go for more girly pastels, I thought this was classy and kind of sexy. [Well, as sexy as I seem to get, anyway.]





We'll see you at The Boutique tomorrow!

It Keeps Me Turning Home

Lots of things to do today, so let's get to it!

I wasn't really familiar with Cozy Homes, but I really like the Adora home from them!





It's a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home and quite cute! It also comes with stilts like in my photo, or with a traditional foundation. This home also has furniture sets for different rooms, like the Adora living room set that you see behind me!




In my package, the set was all soft linked, so I was in edit mode when I rezzed it and it was a snap to put it all down in the proper place. But it is modifiable, so I know I'll be grabbing pieces and moving things around soon!

Truth released some new hairs this past week, and I wore the new Anessa hair to my brother's birthday party last night. It's so very very cute, I didn't even change my hair today. I just adore the pretty little headband, and even more than that, I LOVE Truth's new HUD system!! It makes it so much easier on my inventory! Plus, my old blonde is back! It's not called Swedish, but well, I know Swedish when I see it. Thank you, Mr. Hawks!!

Have fun and go shop!

Song of the Woods

I went to The Seasons Story today and simply fell in love with the Kalli2 hair from D!va! I had told myself that my next blog post would not take place in our autumn woods, but well... rules are made to be broken at times, am I right?




D!va seriously does the best messy hair. All the cute little wispies and the messy side braid combined with the awesome leaves and fruit band makes this just the most awesome frolic-in-the-leaves hair style ever! You also have the option of turning off the fruit on the band, or hiding the band altogether so you can wear this hair any time of the year.

If you haven't hit up FaMESHed yet, you need to because Emery has these awesome Mykonos pleated long skirts available. I'm not always huge into maxi skirts, but I feel like this one works really well with this time of the year because while the skirt is sheer, there is good coverage up at the top.

I have more dancing in the leaves to do, and you need to go shop!

But what do you say to taking chances?

I'm so so very thrilled that designers are speaking to the autumn spirit and making things that are perfect for this time of the year! Yes, I realize fall has not officially started yet, but let's face it - September comes and you're ready for some cooler weather after the hot hot summer!







Fri.day has released these fabulous Allison ankle boots for Collabor88 this round and I am in love! They aren't just a plain boot, but have this great fabric detail that makes these boots really pop. The cool part is that you can either wear them with your old system feet OR pick the ones that are an add-on for the SLink medium feet! If you're like me and you hate having to take your feet off because you're just going to have to put them back on again, it's awesome! Keep in mind that if you do wear just the regular non-add-on boot, you'll have to wear the included alpha.

The Seasons Story starts today and while I had not heard of this event until yesterday, it really looks like it'll be a great one! Truth is participating and he has this super pretty Juniper hair/hat combo for it! If you weren't aware, Truth is moving to a HUD system for his hair, so in each color pack you'll get one hair and then a HUD to change colors. The BEST part of all - at least for me - is that my old super light blonde hair is back!! Oh, you guys don't know just how happy it makes me!! Of course, it's fall and I usually go for a darker hair in the fall, but...maybe we can put that off for a bit. :)

Tons of shopping to be done today, so hop to it!

We'll Just Be In Our Melody

I think I've finally pulled myself out of my Arcade induced haze. *snickers* And that means I'm so so ready for fall! I threw this look together today just by playing in my inventory. Although we do get involved a lot of the time trying to promote the newest things, that doesn't mean that the older items in our inventory need to be forgotten!







FaMESHed and Collabor88 are going strong, and The Arcade still has people beating down the door, so I'm sure you all have a lot more to do this Monday than read. Have a great shopping day!

Distraction

A couple of nights ago, my dear husband had a "man's night" with my brother and brother-in-law to discuss shopping drink beer, play pool, and talk about boobs or something. He said I'm not allowed to come up when they're shooting pool because I'm distracting and throw him off his game. I have no idea what he means.




OneBadPixel just released these simple and sexy Jersey Tank dresses yesterday, and they are awesome! They're slim fitting and hug you in all the right spot. The dresses come in a variety of colors and you really could dress them up or down, depending on your mood.

It's a long weekend for a lot of us, so go pick up a dress and hit the SL town this weekend!

But Then Fall Comes

Do you ever go around for days not getting dressed because you know what you'd really like to wear but yet you can't find just the RIGHT thing, and then suddenly something new is released and it's perfect and exactly what you wanted? That's the new Coldlogic release for me!




Dresses and little jackets! Oh, I'm so thrilled!! I'm wearing the Plume dress with the Stiles jacket. The coolest part about this release is that you can totally mix and match the dresses and little jackets, or wear the dresses and jackets alone. I cannot wait to see what I can pair up these little jackets with because they're awesome! And as you can see, totally perfect for the upcoming autumn season!

If you love this as much as I do, head over to Coldlogic and shop!

I'll Save Myself

The Poser Pavilion [SLurl to come later] starts tomorrow, August 25th! The theme is Area 51, matching with this month's The Garden theme. It's looking to be a good one!!




Pretense has this awesome Area 51 pose box for the Pavilion this round, and it's really cool! Gidge and Cajsa collaborated on this item so what you get are awesome poses in an awesome projector box. The box comes in a few colors, and when you turn on your shadows and local lights, the box really pops to life!

Btw, did you know that Zaara is having a sale?? Yes ma'am, a 50% off sale! As soon as I heard, I ran on down there and picked up the Ashima blouse because I've had my eye on it for a while! The Atiriya jewelry I already had, because duh, it's gorgeous.

Have a fantastic shopping weekend!

House Crossed Lovers

She was a half breed, inheriting her blonde beauty from her mother and her magical abilities from her father. He was a pure blood, meant from birth to marry another pure blood. She was from the house of the Lion. He was from the house of the Snake. They snuck out when they could to meet in the gardens, in the forest, wherever they could find some time alone. But their 7th year was almost at an end. What would happen next for these house crossed lovers?





I've been a HUGE Harry Potter fan for years, and so when I saw that FATEplay was doing school uniforms? Well, like most of the grid, I almost wet my pants. I'm wearing the Jenny uniform in Gryffindor colors, and my friend Matthew is wearing the Henry uniform in Slytherin green. The uniforms come with several options for different looks, and also in grey or black. There is even a cloak! Oh, and a wand! The wand will even perform the Incendio spell. How cool is that??

Head on over to FATEplay to get your own uniform today!

Good Shoes Take You Good Places

As you all know, I'm all about simplicity in my wardrobe. Don't get me wrong, I love to see the glam, high fashion stuff, but for the most part, I keep my look simple because that's how I feel most comfortable. Ingenue is one of my favorite places for classic pieces and the new Pickford heels from Ingenue for this month's Collabor88 absolutely did not disappoint me!




This lovely shoe, which is an add-on for the SLink medium bare feet, is simple, classy, and feminine all in one delightful little package. The best part about items like this is that you can wear them with a fancy dress, or keep it summery with a pair of capris like I have done here. If you STILL haven't gotten the SLink feet, you really need to so you can go pick up these shoes today!

The White Swan Steps Out

Last night, my lovely family threw me a birthday party! I wore a "vintage" G Field dress that some said reminded them of the White Swan. Luckily for me, Gos Boutique released the new Paris Peeptoes just in time for me to go to the party!




These shoes are just perfect for almost any look - simple or fancy or casual or sexy! My favorite thing is that the peeptoe cut-out is a heart! So sweet! I'm wearing them in satin, and they also come in shiny patent. They come in several colors, and of course with the Gos Boutique OneTime HUD, you have hundreds of your favorite skins to choose from so tinting to your skin is a super breeze!

I hope everyone has had a great weekend!

This New Obsession Is Turning Us Alien

It's time for another round of The Garden, and this one is out of this world! *gigglesnorts*




Area 51 is the theme for this month's Garden, and the designers have gone all out with some space and alien inspired goodies! I never thought I'd decorate with this kind of theme since mostly I'm girly and floral and all that, but oh my gosh, look how cool everything is! Jet on over, because you need everything!

Oh, and PS: If you have me on Flickr, you might have noticed some of my photos not showing up. WELL. Seems like Flickr decided my photos of family, cows, and pretty clothes that cover up all the important bits necessitate a RESTRICTED label. I know, right? I'm fighting it, but until then, if you could please add my NEW FLICKR, I'd really appreciate it! Also, add me to your groups! I feel lost and alone without my groups! Thank you. :)
