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 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!

Just A Little Sweet

I'd like to give a special "Hello!" to anyone looking at my blog for the first time via the Old London Docks fashion feed! Welcome! I'm sorry I'm boring! :)

One awesome thing about our Grand Canyon vacation is that we have a bakery just a little ways from the lodge. So when I don't want to make the bigger hike up to the coffee shop, I can pop in here and grab a cupcake. Because really? Hiking in heels is not for the faint of heart.




I really think the Rayna jumper from Drift for The Liaison Collaborative this month is adorable! It's very simple, but there are HUDs so you can change the color and the fabric of the jumper. I'm wearing it in blue tweed, but you can also wear it in a different color and a cotton fabric.

Ingenue released the Grady heels for Collabor88 this month, and they're just perfect! I should have gotten a better shot of them [sorry, I have vacation brain] but there is a tiny little key hanging off of the button on the strap. So cute! You will need the Slink medium feet for these.

Have a great humpday!

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.

The Last Bit Of Summer

I know, I know. Summer is for a few weeks yet. But in SL, September 1st is when fall comes to our home! So today, I'm out enjoying the last day of my SL summer.




FaMESHed starts tomorrow, and how cute is this dress from Fishy Strawberry?? The Saloon dress comes in a few colors, and in both sleeveless [as I'm wearing here] and with little cap sleeves. Also, there is a HUD so that you can change up the textures of two of the skirt tiers.

[I should also mention that although I am wearing this dress with the Slink Physique body, it was a bit of a struggle for me to get it to mostly fit. You might have better luck than I did, though!]

Cae will also be at FaMESHed and she sung right to my owl loving heart this round with the Hoot jewelry set!




I'm wearing just the necklace for this photo, but there are also matching earrings. [I don't know why I always forget to wear earrings. I do it in RL, too, despite having my ears double pierced.] Like most of Cae's beautiful jewelry, this comes with a HUD to change the color of the heart, the eyes, and the metal texture.

See you next month!

If I Fall For You, I'll Never Be The Same

I'll admit, my favorite new show is Naked and Afraid. They stick these 2 people out in the middle of the jungle or the swamp or just some remote place, buck naked, and tell them to survive for 3 weeks. Sometimes they'll make some clothes out of leaves and stuff, but I feel like if there would ever be a time to wear animal print, it would be then. I'm not always a huge fan of animal print myself, but between being naked and wearing animal print, the print would win every time.




Emery is out at FaMESHed with the Andy Leopard Jeans and the Oslo Basic Top. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of animal print, but the print on the jeans is just subtle enough for me. Both the jeans and the tops come in several colors.

My Slink Obsession starts tomorrow and I'm thrilled to see Ingenue is part of it! The Nanette wedges are simply perfect! If you are still not on board with the Slink feet and hands at the very least, maybe My Slink Obsession will change your mind!

Happy Monday!

Ooh good grief. SO many new events opening up! Love!






FaMESHed opens up tomorrow and how cute is my outfit from Coquet? The August sweater set and mini skirts are just adorable and SO very perfect for late summer. There are several different colors of each, so you can mix and match!

Uber opened up today and I think the Malibu hair from Truth is really true to the Vacation theme of this round! There are 2 options for this hair - one with the hair over one shoulder like I'm showing here, and one where the hair is over both shoulders. The hair scarf is color change through a HUD.

Have you heard of My Slink Obsession yet? This event is purely for items made for the Slink products! So you'll find lots of nail polishes, jewelry, shoes, and other applier type stuff. I'm loving my Fancy ring from Stellar! I found that it worked best with the Casual Slink hands, but it's not rigged, so I was able to move it and flip it around to work with the Elegant 1 hands. My nail polish is part of the Bridal collection by A:S:S and you definitely don't need to be a bride to wear it! My Slink Obsession starts on August 5th!

Happy Shopping!

I wanna run with the wild horses

You have a few more days to head out to Fashion For Life! And you really should, because not only will you be supporting a great cause, but you can buy this outfit from Likka House!




I don't get a chance to blog a lot of fantasy type outfits because it's not my normal style, but once in a while, there's just something so fanciful, I can't help but dress up! The East Of The Sun carousel outfit is just so much fun! It comes with several pieces, so you don't have to wear everything all at once. But you have to admit, it looks pretty darn cool with everything. There is even an gesture you can play to turn the carousel on so your horses spin! Too cute!

You can find Likka House on the Journey sim at Fashion For Life. The event ends on June 20th, so get on over there quick!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads and fatherly figures out there! ♥

Casual Friday

Just a quick post today because I love my dress!




You may know Rebel Hope as more of a fancy gown store, but when she does casual, it's just as gorgeous! The new Janet dresses are just adorable! If you're looking for a simple, easy look for the summer, this dress is definitely for you.

If you're looking for some great heels, be sure to check out Ingenue's Lola heels for Collarbor88 this month. They are slingback peep-toes with a high high heel and come in several pretty colors. They are for the Slink High feet.

Happy Friday!

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!!

Getting My Weekend On!

Okay, tell me you haven't been in this scenario. It's the weekend, you've been invited out, and you have NOTHING to wear. So you run to a store and just start trying on EVERYTHING to try to find a new party outfit. It's crazy! Luckily in SL, you have a whole inventory full of beautiful things. Although, if you're like me, you still feel the need to run out and start buying new outfits just for one party.




Have you been to Pose Fair yet? You should go! Savoir Faire made this cool Dressing Room pose prop for the event. You just sit on it and it has several cute poses. I adore pose props, so you know I'm totally into this one.

Don't forget to do the Fifty Linden Friday round today! Fri.day has a special color of the Venus heels. You honestly can't beat some $50L heels! They are add-ons for the SLink medium feet.

Have a great weekend!!

Nobody's gonna slow me down!

Oh my gosh, there are sooo many things to shop for this weekend! Nobody better slow me down, because I've got things to get!!




FaMESHed opened yesterday and there are so many cute things! The hippie boho girl in me fell in LOVE with the Fringed Top from Emery! This top reminds me of some kind of DIY t-shirt tutorials I see all over the internet. Total love!

And of course, The Arcade also has opened and has brought so much incredible stuff to the grid! I just adore the Shine hair from Exile because it's sooo long and helps with the whole hippie-boho vibe I've got going on today. Ingenue's Pandora flat sandals are simply awesome, too! They are add-ons for the SLink flat feet, so hurry up and get your feet if you STILL haven't! You're missing out on fantastic shoes!!!

Hope you guys have had a fantastic weekend!

Dinner Is Ready!

So when I was growing up, my mom was never the best cook. Oh, she had a few things she made well, but for the most part... We even had a saying in the house. "If the smoke alarm goes off, dinner is ready."

Guess I kind of inherited that from her. But at least I look cute while running from the fire!




I am totally in love with the Sally dresses by Rebel Hope from FaMESHed! I love cherry print anything, so naturally this dress caught my attention right off the bat. But it's just quite interesting to me because it's a sundress, but it's a little dramatic with the folded, belted layer.

Hope your dinner is going better than mine!

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!

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. :)

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!

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!

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!

We've only got a few weeks of summer left, but that's plenty of time to do some sailing! And wearing the new items from Stellar will make you feel ship shape!




I just adore the new Abigail halter and the Anchors Aweigh skirt from Stellar! They make me want to get on a boat and twirl around while I sail through the waters. So cute!

See you on the starboard side!
