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!

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!!!!

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!

Happy New Year's Eve!! This post is less of a fashion post and more of a thank you. I wanted to give a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to the wonderful designers and event coordinators that took a chance on me this past year and have allowed me to blog their lovely creations and for their fabulous events. I may not have been able to blog as often or as quickly as you might have wanted this year, but believe me when I say that I am grateful for everything! I promise I'll try to do better for you guys in 2015! And of course, an enormous thank you goes to my sweet readers!! I am thrilled beyond measure every time I blog something and someone says, "I had to go buy that!" Without readers, there would never be a reason to blog anything, and don't think that we ever forget that! :)

Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve and I'll see you next year!!

Hey Boy, You Got Me On My Tip Toes

Hey! Did you know The Arcade opened?? My family loves to hit it up the first couple of days because we like to sell things at our yard sale [sorry, shameless plug], but also because we just LIKE STUFF! This round is my first time really getting to play in forever because before, I couldn't see anything since my computer was so old. My husband is AWESOME, though, and he got me a LOT of things! Like my Erratic sweater that I thought I'd NEVER get! I woke up this morning so happy!





I don't think I can ever take the Hazel Oversized sweater off, however, because it's GOT to be the most dang expensive sweater that I own now! But I also got a lot of socks! I love the Eva holiday socks, also from Erratic, because they are just sooo pretty and fit SO well! But can someone tell me what boots work with these socks, please?!

If you haven't spent all your money on gacha, don't forget that FaMESHed is open, too! I'm wearing the Holly hair from Wasabi Pills because I couldn't resist it. Not only is it cute, but it's got the same name as my RL kitty!

Happy shopping!

Learning By Osmosis

I was never very studious when in school. My study habits were pretty slim because from the time I was 12 until I left college, my main focus was music. And as much as I wished I could do it, napping with my books and trying to learn by osmosis didn't really work!




The Xiasumi School Festival started this morning and this was honestly not an event that I was aware of until maybe a day ago. But aww! Such cute items! Even if school isn't your thing, you will most likely find something you like. Fri.day is at the festival and I am so here for the Sweat.Shirt! I'm wearing the sports version in this picture, but there is one that is plain as well. And in a little break from shoes and clothes, you can also get the Floor.Pillows by Fri.day at the festival as well. There are a few poses in them, or you can just use them as decor.

See you when the bell rings!

Had To Get Away

Happy Sunday! If you don't follow my personal blog, you might not know that my family and I are on vacation this week! We just arrived here last night, so today I had a chance to explore a bit. And it's a good thing I have new boots to go hiking in.






Fri.day is at Collabor88 this month with the Wendy boots. These are awesome! I have been looking for lace up boots like this for a while, and the fact that they come with a sock top is even better. You don't have to wear the top, but it's super cute. The sock, laces, and eyelets are all color change with a HUD, and you can resize through the HUD as well. For those of you who are into just a little bit of mayhem this Halloween season, there is even a little blood splatter you can put on your boots.

I hope everyone has had a marvelous weekend!

Just A Walk In The Park

The Home and Garden Expo is OPEN!! This is one of my favorite events of the year and I was thrilled to be invited back as a blogger for the third year in a row. The H&G Expo raises money for Relay For Life of Second Life, which donates money to the American Cancer Society.

Funky Junk is part of the Expo this year and I'm loving the Small Garden Park!




I'll admit, I'm the worst at landscaping, so it's awesome for me when people put together things that I can just throw out and it's instapretty. There are four sections of this, 3 with trees and one with the little pond that has fish. [There is another version that does not have the pond.] I put this in the middle of a bunch of trees, but since it's all contained in the brick walls, you can really put it anywhere you want. The Small Garden Park with the pond is 39 land impact [the one without the pond is 30] and currently available at the H&G Expo.

The Home and Garden Expo runs until September 28th.

Today I Choose Joy

The best part about weekends is that all you need is a comfy shirt and a great pair of jeans to take you from place to place! [And a good cup of coffee, of course!]




I am incredibly picky about jeans in SL. It's not uncommon to see me in the same dang jeans for ages. Luckily, I have awesome friends who introduce me to new places and people, and that's how I ended up trying out the Runway jeans from CARGO. I love these jeans! They fit just right and have the cutest booty! C'mon, ladies. You know that's what we look for in a pair of jeans! These come with a HUD that give you some variations in color, and you can change the cuff a couple of ways. The only thing that would make these more perfect for me is if the cuff had a long bootcut.

For a birthday gift, my awesome husband bought me the Slink Physique body! The alpha HUD recently got an upgrade, so if you already have the body, be sure to go get the update. I have mostly just used the hands and feet for a while now and didn't think I really needed the body. But I like to stay current when I can, so now I get to be like my girls and wear a mesh body. The one thing I like is that it's still ME, but just more smoothed out. I don't have any desire to be bigger, or have a bigger chest or butt, which is why I've stayed away from much more than the hands and feet so far. As you can see, my regular clothes fit pretty well over the body, and I was able to alpha out what I needed. The alpha parts are MUCH improved with the update, but there are still some parts I'd like to see added, like side boob and shoulder blades.

Have an awesome Saturday!!

Keep Your Head Up, Move Along

My little personal "stop being lazy and blog for 7 days" challenge ended on Sunday, but I really think it's what I needed to get back in the groove of things. Not saying that I'm going to continue blogging daily on this blog or anything, but it has definitely become fun for me again, so there's that! If you find yourself in a blogging slump, give yourself a little challenge. It just might kick you out of it!






Fission released some totally adorable new shoes recently! The Spectator pumps are cute and vintagey and come in a bunch of colors! Of course, I had to grab my favorite colors, teal and white, for this post. They are pretty inexpensive at just $150L a pair, but the pink and white ones are on sale for $75L until Sunday, so that's a great little bargain for you budget conscious folks out there. These are add-ons for the Slink medium height feet.

Time for more shopping!

Clap along if you know what happiness is to you!

Are you happy today? You should be! There are so so so many reasons to be happy in our lives, even if it's just teeny tiny things that maybe we wouldn't think about. Like today, I'm happy because I adore light creamy colors and I was able to put together an outfit using them. Most people would say that they're boring colors, but I love them!




Ingenue will be at The Chapter Four with the Emma blouse. It's a cropped top [as is the style these days!] that shows off some skin, but is still pretty modest! It's got a great little polka dotted bib collar, and there are buttons down the back. I wanted to keep my look simple, so I paired it with one of the new Howell skirts from Coldlogic's last release, and the Lily flats, also from Ingenue. [They are add-ons for the Slink flat feet.]

I hope all of you are finding reasons to be happy today!!

Valyrio muño ēngos ñuhys issa.

Unless you live under a rock, you know that tonight is the season premiere of Game of Thrones! I'm so so excited because it's honestly one of my top 5 favorite shows. So being that it's one of my faves, I screamed in delight when I saw what FATEplay has out at We♥RP! [And I have to do the ♥ because doing the less-than-3 sign makes my blog freak out.]




If you're a fan of the show, the Dany dress and cloak is familiar to you. If you're not, it's okay! It's still a marvelous outfit! The back of the dress has a large oval cut out, and there are 2 options for the dress - with or without the cloak. There are also several colors to choose from.

Even if you're not much for RP, you should still check out We♥RP! Lots of goodies for you!

Go On And Do What Your Heart Tells You To

Happy New Year, readers! And what better way to start off a new year than with a new round of FaMESHed??




IKON is in this round of FaMESHed with the new Promise eyes. I love these because they almost remind me of some eyes I had back in late 2007, but just fresh and updated. And if you don't like to always wear the mesh eyeballs, there is a regular texture version included that is just as pretty.

Also at FaMESHed, the classy new Emily hair from Wasabi Pills, the very pretty Royal Khadijah Estate necklace from Maxi Gossamer, and the super cute Peplum Sweater Combo from Coquet. As you can see, it is a FANTASTIC month at FaMESHed!!

Happy 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!

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. :)

It's Bright, Baby!

Tomorrow is awesome! One, I'm going away for a girls' night AWAY with my bestie! It's the first time we've had to drive away from home in a long time! Two, August starts and it's my birthday month! And three, FaMESHed opens for its August round!!




I'm so very in love with the new outfit from Mutresse for FaMESHed! The Lili sheer blouse and skirt is just so... ahhh! You can wear the skirt and blouse separately, and there are even sleeves that can be attached. And the BEST part of all is that there is a HUD with all kinds of colors and patterns for the individual pieces! Love love LOVE!

Wasabi Pills will be at FaMESHed this month with the new Sarah hair. I love braids and I love long hair, so you know I am ALL over this hairstyle!

Also at FaMESHed is this fabulous Falling Palm Suite from Eleventh Hour. Okay, can we just pause for a minute and pay our respects to how fabulous mesh items are? Yes, they look good, as is very obvious by this awesome set, but the land impact, y'all! The land impact! For the entire set - bed, tables, bench, fans, and the coconuts and straws you can't really see behind me ... 21 land impact. Can you believe it?? You can have your bedroom decked out with this great set for 21 land impact and still have room left over for more stuff!

Well, I'm off to pack. You guys should take a nap so you can get to FaMESHed when it opens at midnight!

New beauties for all you shoe lovers out there!




Gos Boutique released the new Lauren d'Orsay shoes today! Love love love! You have the option of having the heel have a cap or no cap, like I'm wearing them in this picture.

You know, I could talk more about these shoes, but I don't see the point. You're going to buy them because they're beautiful. That's all you really need to know. :)

I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me.

Two great events are going on right now - Zodiac and The Arcade! I swear, if you think there's nothing to shop for this month, you're living under a rock because there are so many great items out there on the grid right now, I wonder if the designers have slept in months!




From Zodiac, DCNY has this great Twin Rose tank and skirt set! I'm wearing it in pink, of course! And Adorkable has a nice little pack of Smart poses for you, too!

Now I'll admit to not being much of a Glam Affair fan in the past, but oh my GOSH, the Lulu skins from The Arcade just stole my heart!! I couldn't rest until I got them all! [Well, until my husband got them all for me. I'm really crashy right now and he's way way better at this gacha stuff than I am. Thanks, honey!] The pretty Lory hair from Wasabi Pills was also on the "must have" list, along with the fabulous Fairy Tale charm bracelet and Enchanted Rose necklace from Noodles! I'm a huge Beauty & The Beast fan and that rose in a jar is my favorite thing about the movie.

Now shoo shoo... it's time for more shopping!
