Blogger recently gave notice that they will be blocking blogs with sexually explicit content starting on March 23rd. Although neither of my blogs have ever really been sexually explicit, I believe that this is Google’s way of gradually phasing out Blogger. I also don’t believe in unnecessary censorship and yes, I do believe this is unnecessary.
So I’m making the switch to WordPress. If you have my blog in your blogrolls [thank you, btw, if you do!], I would appreciate if you would update it to my new WordPress address. I’ll also be contacting the owners of the feeds that I’m on to change my blog URL, so if you normally read me through a feed, you’ll be able to see my posts the same as usual pretty soon.
I’m not terribly familiar with WordPress yet, so please forgive me if things here seem disjointed and crazy for a little bit while I get used to my new blogging home. Thank you! ♥

Multicolored Moods of Love
I've always loved butterflies. Not just because they're pretty, but because they're a symbol of transformation. We all change, in one way or another. I'm not the same person I was 5 years ago. We change and if we're lucky, we change into better people, just like caterpillars change into beautiful butterflies.
I fell in love with the Papillon set by GizzA that is out at Shiny Shabby right now. It includes the necklace and the eye accessory. I don't know how often I'll need butterflies for my eye so I will probably use these again somewhere in my hair.
Happy shopping, butterflies!

Bring It One More Time
I used to be really against templates. I watched my creator friends learn Blender and Maya and they'd curse and bang their heads against the walls and all to make first original sculpts, then original mesh. But over time, these same people have let me know that working with a template to texture it can be just as much work as it is to create it in the first place, and many of them hate texturing with a passion. Given the choice, I will still go towards the original mesh items first, but now I'm pretty happy to get things just because they're cute. :)
Ducknipple has a sub-brand called SLX Outfits, and that's pretty cool because you can get entire outfits for fairly cheap! Are they templates? I'm pretty sure! But it's all super darling and sometimes you find great pieces in the outfits. I liked the Hipster outfit immediately because of the jeans. Jeans in SL almost NEVER are long enough for me. I don't really care for skinny jeans [in either life] and I prefer a good boot cut or bell bottom jean that just about hits the ground. These jeans are awesome! The outfit includes the jeans, sweater [color change with a HUD], belly chain, and necklace that I'm wearing in this pic, plus a pair of sandals and a slim headband that didn't make it to the picture.
My sister has us doing inventory cleaning boot camp before The Arcade [I had to delete 6 things just to get this outfit!], so I'm back to the grindstone! Happy shopping!

Too Dressy For Coffee
When I was younger, there was this guy who worked at our local Starbucks and he was SO CUTE. I'd find myself going in there when he was working and I was just way too dressy to get a simple coffee. I guess it worked though. I scored more free coffee than I can say!
I really like the Leather Shorts and Vest set from United Colors that is out at The Liaison Collaborative this month! At first I thought that it had gold studs, but when you look closely, it's actually little gold knots. That actually works better for me because I'm not really into studded items. The shorts and vest are separate, so you could wear the leather shorts with another top, or the vest with some jeans. Versatile!
All this thinking about coffee has me craving some, so I'm off. Happy shopping!

You Belong Somewhere You Feel Free
We have a little park set up across the street from our house now and I've been having way more fun being outside rather than inside the house these days. I am a total sunshine and warm weather type of girl!
Livalle will be participating in 21Shoe this month and I'm wearing one of the two pairs of shoes you'll be able to buy, the Eliza cork platform wedges. I love a good wedge in the spring and these are so bright and pretty. Remember that 21Shoe is a 24 hour event that is only on the 21st of the month so you'll have to be quick like a bunny if you want to get these pretty shoes!
Truth released some new hair today and I'm just nuts about the new Avena hair! It's all loose and twirly and a little bit messy. It's kind of how I feel in the spring!
Happy shopping!

Oh But She Burns
I seem to get my inspiration for photos from music lately. I've been listening to "Cherry Wine" by Hozier on repeat lately and somehow came up with this photo using some items from The Liaison Collaborative!
I really like the Mabelle set from Eudora 3D for TLC this round. It's the perfect mix of leather and lace [the theme of this round!] and it manages to be both sexy and sweet at the same time.
Breno made this great Ballet Studio for TLC, but don't let the name fool you into thinking you can only use it for ballet. It would work as a nice one room home or a small store, too! It's lovely, open, and I know I'll get quite a bit of use out of it.
Oh, btw, I'm linking the song that I'm listening to at the end of this post, if you want to check Hozier out beyond the "Take Me To Church" song! Happy shopping and happy listening!

It's Never Black Or White
The Liaison Collaborative opened today and it's a Leather and Lace round! And oh my GOSH. There are SO many pretties, I hardly knew where to start! But I figured I'd be a little bit naughty today, in honor of the Valentine's weekend.
I love when people make things for events that just work so well together. Enfant Terrible created the Rosalies corset and flower headpiece and ugh, they are just too gorgeous! I wasn't sure what I was going to wear with the corset, but luckily, Baiastice made the Pigalle lace lingerie set that fits with the corset fabulously! The lingerie is mesh but works extremely well with the Maitreya mesh body. And the Miss Steel heels from Rebel Hope just work great with everything.
Tarte made a Corset Chair for TLC and although it has some great poses in it, for these photos I chose to use a couple of poses from the Pure Heat set by Ma Vie that you can also find at TLC. And even the room I'm in, the Room Despair is at TLC! The room is part of a collab between Bauhaus Movement and Zerkalo.
Happy shopping!

Living That Valentine Life
We're 2 days away from Valentine's day, and even if you're your own Valentine this year, you can still live that Valentine life with some pretty cool home decor!
Magnolia is in a new-to-me event called The Countdown Room with the cute little Window To My Soul decor set! It's a console table and a shuttered "window" with a heart for the wall. I like empty tables sometimes so I can add all my own stuff! There are 2 different windows, too. I'm using the music heart one for this photo. The Countdown Room only lasts a week, so hurry on over!
Second Spaces is in Collabor88 this month and bringing us Amor! I'm using the Amor couch and the Amor wall art [modified to be a bit smaller] for this photo. There are different prints in the wall art, and different colors for the couches, and also armoires that match everything.
Happy shopping, valentines!

Tell Me Your Secrets And I'll Tell You Mine
Do you take selfies? Do you take naughty selfies? C'mon, you can tell me! Hey, it's almost Valentine's Day. Why not take one and give your loved one a thrill? And yes, I always use the front camera for my selfies. That's where the beauty filter is!
My friend Kirsten's husband is pretty talented, and he just kinda makes whatever Kirsten happens to want at the time. Lucky girl, huh?? :) Recently he made some lingerie sets for his marketplace store, Dabble Dooya, and was nice enough to share with me! I love the pretty Hearts lingerie set! The panties have good coverage in the back, but let just enough of your cheeks show! I love this because soooo many lingerie makers in SL seem to think everyone wants a thong. The lingerie comes in 3 different colors/prints and has Slink, Maitreya, and Omega appliers along with just the regular system layers if you're not into mesh bodies yet. And it's really inexpensive at only $50L for the set!
Dabble Dooya is on the marketplace only right now, so click through and get some undies!

Are you ready for spring? I know I sure am! Sunny days and everything waking up from their winter sleep? Sooo ready for it!
Collabor88 is open and I just fell hard for the Wallflower dress from Foxes! It's just super adorable and you have the option of wearing it with or without the little cardigan.
Fri.day is also at Collabor88 with the new Marsali flats. They are the perfect little spring flat. Simple, but the ankle strap gives them a little extra touch of cute!

Live It With Love
Bit of a last minute Throwback Thursday-ish post for me! Did you know that it's Coldlogic's 3rd birthday?? And everything in the store is 50% off!
The Twain dress came out last summer, but it's perfect for a sunny day Valentine date! The 50% off sale lasts until February 16th, so you can get this lovely dress [and sooo many others!] without breaking the bank!
There is an event coming up on the 7th called Love Is In The Air. I don't have much info or a Slurl for it yet, but I can tell you it has some super designers participating! What Next will be there with the Balloons Pose Prop! There are 3 different types of the balloons - red, ivory with one pink, and the sweetheart multicolored ones like I'm holding in this photo. Each one has 4 single poses and 3 couples poses. Super cute! Love Is In The Air runs from the 7th until the 14th.

Good Morning, Love
Have you ever been served breakfast in bed? Or served someone? I never have. Oh, I've eaten in bed, don't get me wrong. But the whole romantic breakfast in bed thing? Nope! But I have always thought it's a cute idea!
Windsong and Dust Bunny have teamed up for this round of The Chapter Four with this cutesy Valentine's Tray. It's just a nice little piece of decor and only 1 land impact! I think my favorite thing is that the heart shaped pancakes on it are not perfectly shaped. My pancakes never come out perfect either!
Happy shopping, dear ones!

Certain As The Sun
When I was growing up, Beauty and the Beast was one of my favorite fairy tales, even before the Disney movie came out. I fell deeply in love with the story in all its different retellings. But one thing that remains a symbol of the story is the rose. There is always the rose.
Enchantment this month has a Beauty and the Beast theme! Now with Enchantment, it works kind of like the old Creators Stamp Rally. You go to one of the participating stores, buy a special item, get a card, and then get your stamps at all of the stores. You can read all about how it works here on the blog. If you want a stamp card and a pretty ring at the same time, head over to Cae to pick up the Belle ring! It's a stacked ring with a pearl, tiny gems, and a big rose. There is a HUD to resize and change the colors of the metal, gems, pearl, and rose. It also comes with options for standard avatar fingers and for mesh hands. [Please buy mesh hands. Please don't put this pretty ring on your janky avatar fingers.]

Fit For A Princess is open! It's a freestyle round this month with lots of goodies for you!

Bound By Love
Happy February! It's a short month, but that just means we've got to pack lots into it! Like the opening of FaMESHed and Burlesque!
Rebel Hope is at FaMESHed [which is on a new sim! Update your LMs!] with two spicy offerings. The Persephone dress is deceptively simple, but ever so sexy with the corset style lacing up the sides. Rebel is doing a great thing by offering the dress in the standard sizes, a fitted version, and versions for the Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya bodies. However, I found that the Maitreya version didn't quite work for me with the alphas because of the lacing up the sides. I don't know if it's supposed to fit without alphas or what, but it just didn't work for me. I'm wearing the dress in the standard medium size and it seems to work fine that way.
The Hello Lovah heels are also by Rebel Hope for FaMESHed. You can't quite see it in the photo, but up at the top near the buckle, there is a heart lock and key dangling. Love it! The heels come with options for Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya feet.
Burlesque is happening now and what a fun event! Exposeur is there with the Burlesque Cage to pose in. It has 10 great poses to make you feel sexy and fun! Burlesque only runs until the 15th, so hurry on out there.
Happy shopping!

Happy shopping!

I Still Remember Her After All These Years
With all the billion events that happen every month, do you ever notice that you honestly don't know what you've even bought any more? And that you have boxes of things that you've never worn? It's kind of sad, in a way, isn't it? We buy and buy and buy but never really have a lot of time to enjoy things before we get more new stuff. So today is kind of a "Throwback Thursday" for me because I dug out a few older things from my inventory.
People are still making winter items, but I'm ready for spring! The Mari dress from Valentina E. is a cute warm weather sundress that you could dress up or down. It shows some sideboob, too, so would probably be good for dates! :)
Hucci is a great subscriber group to be in because there are group gifts quite often. The latest one was the Valdez pump in this pretty teal color. It comes with a HUD to change the color the strings and the soles of the shoes and shoes to fit both the Slink and the Maitreya feet. It's really like getting a wearable demo because once you wear this around for a while, you're going to want to go get all the colors! Sneaky! :-D
Dig around in your inventory, you might find some long forgotten goodies!

Make A New Plan, Stan!
My parents were already married and had 2 kids by 1966, so they never got to be free lovin' hippies. Plus it really wasn't in their nature, being the more clean cut, responsible type. But they certainly enjoyed them when they encountered them and by the time I came around, they raised me on some great music and to be their little free spirit. So this small area I've put together using some items from an upcoming event makes me happy! [And made me put on some Simon & Garfunkel music!]
Perfect 10 is a new home and garden event coming up on February 1st! It features home and garden designers alongside full perm creators and replaces The Designer Warehouse event, if you were familiar with that one. The items will be half price or less, and exclusive to the event. There will also be some gacha to play, for those of you who are gacha addicts! I don't think there is a theme for this upcoming first round, but a few of the designers who were kind enough to give advance copies of items seemed to be in the bohemian spirit.
Perfect 10 starts on February 1st and runs until February 15th. It should be fun!

So Much To Read, So Little Time
When I was in high school, the group I hung around with for a while were all into fancy book covers, usually with zippers. They were usually fabric with bows and ribbons and all kinds of stuff. I don't know. We were weird. I'm still a huge reader but usually I just read off my Kindle these days. Are you guys reading anything good lately? [Well, besides this blog. LOLOLOLOL Oh I have jokes.] Okay, okay. Fashion!
Wasabi Pills is at Uber this month with the Sibel hair. It's cute! I will forever love hair with braids. As much as I like Wasabi Pills in general, I wish the light blonde texture was a bit brighter. But it comes out lighter in pics usually, so I guess it's all good!
Happy shopping!

Got To Kiss Myself, I'm So Pretty
Do you ever just have REAL trouble taking a picture of yourself? I was asked to send a headshot in for something I'll be blogging in the future and it filled me with dread. I am the WORST at taking headshots of myself! I can do a regular blog picture all day, every day [well, if I'm not lazy], but headshots confuse me. I stomped around yelling about how I looked stupid. Luckily, Truth has a terrific new hair for Uber that has a nice starry barrette, so it helped a whole lot to make me pretty!
Esther is new for Uber and I adore it! The hair is actually pretty long, past the chest, but I couldn't fit it all in to this particular picture. I just love the hair clip because I'm a sucker for anything with stars and any kind of hair accessory. The Uber theme this month is "Celestial," so of course it goes perfectly with the theme!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Spring Is Coming?
My daughter, Abby, has been asking me when spring is coming back. Well, soon... but with spring comes gardening and just between us, I'm not that great at it! At least I look cute, though.
Coldlogic released today! Just a smallish release [well, smallish for them!] of some layered shirts and dresses. You know I'm thrilled every time there's something new! I'm wearing the Carpenter top and not only is it pretty adorable, it fits great over my Maitreya body! That's kind of a big deal these days, isn't it? Finding clothes that fit over whatever mesh body you're wearing. :)
21 Shoe is happening today and you can get these fabulous Elsa boots at Livalle! I'm still pretty much in love with Frozen, so you know I already loved these just for the name alone. There wasn't an option for the Maitreya body, but the standard avatar ones fit pretty well over the legs. There is also a hud to alpha out the tops of the boots so you can wear them under pants.
N21 starts today and Second Spaces is there with the Garden Sink you see behind me. This comes in a couple of colors [I'm using the winter one] and if you don't want anything on the shelves, there is an option for that, too. The sink actually works when you touch it, if you like when your plumbing works.
Happy shopping!

You Know You Never Need A Reason
This is gonna be quick because you gotta go shopping - and fast!
Junbug is at The Liaison Collaborative this month with the super pretty Mademoiselle Coco gown. The front has a floral design that goes straight down, but it was a wee bit too low cut for me on the bodice [I kept seeing areola no matter what I did!] and I thought the back of the dress was more interesting, so that's what I chose to show off here.
Project Limited opened yesterday and it's just as it sounds - All the items are LIMITED! Cae is there with the D'Anjou jewelry set and you need it! I honestly cannot tell you how many are left at the event, so you need to run there right away if you want this gorgeous jewelry. Like pretty much all of Cae's products, it has a HUD so you can change some of the colors of the jewels and metal. But once it's gone, it's gone, so go go go!
Happy shopping!

I Will Not Ask You Where You Came From
We're coming up on a new week and it'll be a good one because a new round of The Liaison Collaborative is starting on the 15th!
I'm so very much in love with the I Will Break Your Heart dress by Valentina E. It definitely isn't breaking my heart! In fact, it's so ruffly and girly, it's making my heart happy! And it fits perfectly over mesh bodies! I never thought that would be a big deal for me but I'm totally loving wearing mesh bodies lately and it's important that my mesh clothes fit on them.
The Liaison Collaborative opens on the 15th and there will be lots of clothes, poses, and all kinds of goodies for you to shop for!

It's All London, Baby!
I'm still on my Friends marathon and just finished up the one where they all went to London for the wedding. London, baby! And this came at a good time because there is a wonderful fundraiser starting for one of the sweetest girls I know.
Amy, known as Scarlet Chandrayaan (owner of Alouette) in Second Life, is one tough young lady. At the young age of 26, Amy was planning the big move interstate with her boyfriend ready to start a fresh new life together when she received the news no one ever wants to hear. Cancer that she had fought off once before has returned and this time it’s worse. The doctors have given her 2 years at the most if she just continues on with life as it is at the moment and makes the most of the time she has left. There are a few options open to her, but none a sure fire cure all. No one wants to be dealt this blow, whether young or having lived a long life, but Amy is soldiering on with a smile on her face ready to battle this with whatever options she can. We’re all hoping she can fight this once more and live a long life.
Leaf On The Wind is the fundraiser to help sweet Amy with her wish to see London. I think it's a worthy cause and I hope she gets there and is just as touristy as Joey was when he went. :) Leaf On The Wind is from January 10 to February 1, and there is lots to see and get, so go shop!!!!

I'm loving all the candy colors at Collabor88 this round! Check out how pretty my shoes are!

Don't You Talk To Unicorns, Too?
Don't you sit around having nighttime conversations with your unicorn, too? No? Well, you're missing out. Unicorns are pretty smart. Collabor88 is opening up with the theme of "OMG! UNICORNS!" Trust me when I say this made a LOT of people very happy!
Second Spaces brings us the Unicorn Chaise Set for Collabor88 and it's super adorable! The set comes in either pink or teal and has the chaise, the framed prints, and a deco wall. I used the pink wall and the teal chaise and prints because you guys need both sets and I had to show that. :)
Hopscotch is at OMGacha this month with these precious little Animal Slippers. There are 6 different slippers to play for, and I am wearing the rare Unicorn ones for this picture just to stick with the theme! OMGacha opens up on the 10th.

I'm Gonna Have A Fantasy
Just a quickie today! Take that however you'd like.
Have you been out to My Slink Obsession yet this month? You need to go! Stellar has this fantastic Leg Corset tattoo for your Slink Physique body! I really like how most tattoos look on the mesh bodies but finding nice ones that are simple is kind of hard! So many go overboard with coating your whole body, so it's awesome that Lexi made these that are specifically for your calves.
This is the last round of My Slink Obsession until April, so hurry on out there to do some shopping!

She Believed In The Unexpected
Sometimes I just get a vision in my head of a photo and I just have to attempt to create it in SL. I like when unexpected things like that happen, especially since my ideas are often much bigger than my skills!
I'm only kind of familiar with PurpleMoon and what I do know of them, they make gowns and jewelry. But as luck would have it, I found this great Adele suit there! I think it's quite sexy even though it is also conservative.
Rebel Hope has some great heels out at FaMESHed this month. The Maria heels are strappy and studded, and have an option for a bow in the front. I didn't wear the bow for this photo because it would have been too floofy.
Have a wonderful day!

Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I know, I already did a post today, but Berry did a Yearbook Smile Challenge today that I couldn't resist! Of course, if I'd ever looked this pretty in any of my RL yearbook pics, I think I would have dropped dead. So that's the first rule of taking a good yearbook picture, I guess. Just be good looking already. *laughs*
I get asked a lot why I smile in so many of my photos. The simple answer is that I'm happy and that tends to come out in my pictures. But truthfully, it's more that I cannot stand photos where people are just staring dead-eyed even though it's supposed to be a photo that conveys some kind of emotion. There are, of course, photos where a just neutral face is appropriate and that's fine. But if you're taking a picture where you're supposed to be jumping for joy and yet you look like you're just waiting for your car's oil change to finish up, well... that doesn't make for a very good picture in my opinion.
I don't really like any of the mesh mouths out there. I find that mostly they make people look like there's a good chance that person cannot put on their own shoes. And as I like my face, I haven't bothered with mesh heads. The regular avatar face is NOT the easiest to work with and the emotes we can do with our faces aren't always great, but you can make it work. I have a different shape for smiling. The eyes are bigger and wider, the cheeks are slightly more puffy, and I messed with my mouth while smiling until it became something I could work with. I do use a little bit of Photoshop, too, because my teeth tend to poke out a little bit in the corners when I smile. I will say that the Pink Fuel skin I'm wearing smiles really well. I've had other skins where no matter what I did, the smile never looked right. So if you have that problem, it really just might be your skin and not your shape.
Thanks for a fun challenge, Berry!!

I'll Be There For You
I've been binge watching Friends all weekend and the theme song has been stuck in my head. I was trying to come up with a better title for this post, but the song is all I can think about. Dang you, Friends!! Oh right - shopping!
I headed out to The Chapter Four and picked up this cute Natalie outfit by GizzA. It's a little bustier and a mini skirt with a peplum. Very cute, and it worked with my Maitreya body, so double snaps for that! I also played the LODE gacha there and got the Hortensia Branch in the mixed color. I am so all about cute head stuff lately, especially flowers! And it works with the Vera hair by MINA, also found at the event. So so so much cute out there!
Did you know that Mandala is having a sale? Yep! 30-70% off everything in the store! I picked up the Kyara jewelry set and let me tell you, it was a steal! The sale is only for 10 days, and some older items will be retired afterwards, so you need to head out there and shop now!
Have a great Monday!

A Little Clutter Never Hurt
One of the things that makes me happy in SL is when I can have a bunch of little knick knacks out. It used to be almost impossible to make anything too terribly cluttery because of prim limits. While we still do have the limits, with mesh and awesome mesh makers who can make cute cute things for just 1 tiny land impact, we can have all the knick knacks we want.
The new Amy Bookshelves by MudHoney out at FaMESHed this month are everything my little clutter-lovin' heart desires! You can buy one color of the bookshelves, which do come apart into 3 separate ones and have texture change backs, and pick and choose from the different accessories. But you're really going to want to buy the whole accessories pack that includes 8 book sets, 2 candles, owl, trinket box, 3 frames, 4 vases, 2 plants, and a basket. Since the accessories are copy/mod, you can do as I've done and use more and mod pieces to be bigger or smaller and they're only 1 land impact each! And of course, the shelves look great with some of your own items, too, like I've added for this photo.
Happy clutter makin'!

If You're A Bird, I'm A Bird
It's the freakin' weekend, baby, I'm about to have me some fun! Ugh, did that just totally make me seem lame? Oh well, I've never been accused of being sophisticated. :)
Rebel Hope has a great coat and leggings set at FaMESHed this month! The Michella coat and leggings set is quite simple and elegant, which suits me just fine in the winter when I want to throw something on that doesn't require me to think too much. I KNOW I'm going to look pretty and appropriate with this on! With each color of the coat, you get 5 colors of the leggings. I will say, though, that I had a bit of trouble getting a hair to really work with the collar of the coat since it is popped. Maybe one day we'll have hair that knows where to stop, huh?
Speaking of hair, Wasabi Pills is out at Uber this month with the Kitty hair. I love a good, full, thick wavy hair and this fits the bill very nicely.
Happy weekend shopping, dear ones!

If We Want To See The Rainbow We Have To Put Up With The Rain
The title of my post today is one of my favorite quotes. Too often we get swept up in just wanting everything to be perfect all of the time and life just isn't perfect. But before you know it, good things happen again.
I love the new Mila dress by Coquet out at FaMESHed this month! It's a simple little dress with a long cardigan over it, just kind of cute and sweet. It's a little more low cut in the front than I'd like and there are some areas on the sleeves that don't quite work with my Slink hands, but in general, I really like this dress.
Uber opened up on New Year's Eve and Fri.day is out there with the terrific new Isabelle heels. They have a super tall heel, a great platform, and are topped by a cute little bow. The Isabelle heels fit the high Slink, Belleza Venus, and Maitreya Lara feet.
Happy shopping!
