Is It Raining With You

Collabor88 started today! Woot woot! The theme this month is "Rain or Shine" and the designers have totally had fun with the theme as usual! I know there has been some debate lately, so I'll just say this: C88 was NEVER intended to be an event where people would sell everything for 88L. I have been blogging C88 from the beginning and never never never was it said that all the items would be 88L. If things seemed less expensive in the beginning, it was because it was in the pre-mesh days when a lot of things were less expensive! If you have a problem with the price of these items, you're certainly not required to shop there. But I hope you still will go to Collabor88 and support the designers, because these items are pretty darn awesome. :)

Refreshments In The Garden

The Garden starts tomorrow!! Yeahhhh!! This is a home and garden event, and oh my gosh, is it going to be a great one!




What Next has brought us this super cute Garden Cafe Caravan and I am just in love with it! It's just all kinds of adorable, and even if you don't have the need to have the full set out all of the time, there are several cute pieces that you can grab from the set and use in your home.

Collabor88 is still going strong, and the Spring Halters from Auxiliary are a total necessity for your spring and summer wardrobe! I love that they show JUST enough skin to feel all warm weather wonderful, but not so much that you would think that your boobs are about to fall out.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Dressing For Jesus [With Love To December!]

We were having a discussion on plurk last night about an upcoming fair that caters more to the more trampy side of SL and my friend December said, "I need a Dressing For Jesus fair." See, not everyone in SL WANTS to have their "boobadoos" out all of the time. Once in a while, SURE!! But all of the time? Nooo. Some of us want clothes that are cute and cover our bodies. Not that there's anything wrong with having your bits and pieces all out there for the world to see constantly if that's REALLY what you want out of SLife, but for some of us, we like simple clothing that is both lovely and modest.

I dedicate this post to December, someone who proves that you can be adorable and beloved in both worlds without your "Virginia and Cleveland" on display. ♥♥♥

On The Naughty List

Have you been naughty this year? Is Santa not coming down your chimney? Ah, who cares? Zodiac is open!




It's the Capricorn round [see the horns?] and there are a ton of great goodies there for your shopping needs. And while you're at Zodiac, walk on over to Alice Project and get some hair! I got this one today for free! But if you've missed any of her previous gifts, they're on the wall for $50L.

Happy shopping!

Even If The Skies Get Rough

It was a gray gray day here today, so having a gray background for today's picture just seemed very fitting. But even in all the gray, once in a while, the sun broke through. I like when that happens. Just kind of reminds you that better times are ahead.




Auxiliary has these awesome Belted Bell Bottoms for Collabor88 this month. They are lowwwww rise. Seriously - don't even think about wearing them if you aren't waxed clean. But I love them a lot, even though a little butt crack does show in the back. I'm wearing them in Vintage because I really like the side panel.

Happy shopping!

Happy November!

Happy November, dear readers! I hope you all had a safe and fun filled Halloween. I don't eat a lot of candy any more, so getting new Coldlogic dresses was a better treat for me!




The new Palmer sweater dress is just wonderful! I think I like that I could easily pair this with jeans or put a turtleneck underneath. You all know how I do love options with my clothes!

Truth released some great hair a few days ago, and I'm totally in love with the Josie hair. This reminds me of how my hair normally is here at home - scooped back into a messy bun, usually some some random braids here and there. If you wear any of the fades pack colors, there is the option to have a colored braid or a plain braid. I'm just wearing the plain one in this photo.

Did you hear the news? Auxiliary finally opened!! If you're in the group, you can pick up a box of gifts that includes this awesome Oversized Leather Tote. I simply adore huge purses because I carry a ton of stuff with me always, so you know I love this!

Happy shopping!

Let's Play At The Arcade!

Unless you've been living under a prim boulder, you've heard that The Arcade started last night! A big gacha festival, it's been a much anticipated event!! It's the weekend and I don't have time to talk much, but please remember that as with any big event, EXPECT LAG. Don't start yelling at people, you're not the Lag Police. But please make it easier for you and everyone else by removing any unnecessary scripted attachments and any ridiculous outfits. You don't need to wear your big flexi ball gown or carry weapons. No one cares what YOU look like, they're just there to have fun and shop. :) Also, for the easiest shopping? Check out The Arcade Tumblr because it has the direct link to each machine. Yay!

See you at The Arcade!!

Oh My NOLA

I've been to Louisiana several times, but I've never made it as far as New Orleans. Luckily Barnesworth Anubis brought a little piece of New Orleans to us for Collabor88 with his New Orleans Studio skybox!




I'm still rolling around in fantastic new releases from Coldlogic. The Keach sweater dress is just so awesome. It looks like something I'd wear all winter long because I'm usually freezing to death.

Pink Fuel finally released the Kumi skin last night! I had to rush right over to grab a demo and then go right back to buy it! I'm in love with it, so expect to see me in it a LOT.

Gotta go do more shopping!

Autumn Time

I just love autumn as a season. Football games, marching band contests, lots of pretty falling leaves and pumpkins, and of course pulling out the jeans and sweaters! Of course, in my neck of the woods, we're usually still wearing shorts until Thanksgiving, but in SL, it's definitely time to start pulling out the cooler weather clothes!




Coldlogic just released a whole bunch of new items, and I fell in deep love with the Shereda top! A lovely cropped sweater over a pretty cowl necked shirt? Oh, yes PLEASE! I never want to take it off!

At FaMESHed this month, Auxiliary released their new Skinny jeans. I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of skinny jeans, but these are just fabulous! They're low rise and make your booty just look amazing. And while you're picking these up at FaMESHed, be sure to grab the Noriko hair from Wasabi Pills. I'm not a short hair kind of girl normally, but this hair is so adorable, I can't seem to take it off!

I guess it's time to stop looking pretty and start doing some autumn landscaping. Hey, while I have you here - Where are the best places to get autumn trees and other outdoor decor? Leave a comment or IM me! :)

There's No Gravity To Hold Me Down

I wasn't going to blog the new Xarra tunic by Maitreya. It's super cute and I do love it, but I figured it would be blogged a whole lot by much better bloggers than me. :) I was right, of course! [And let's face it, I'm also super lazy and figured it was a good excuse to not blog.] But I cannot resist blogging an outfit if I actually think I look pretty because I struggle at styling myself!




Truth released new hair today, and I just fell in love with the Bria hair! Long and pinned to the side? Yes, please! Not gonna lie, I'm probably going to try to replicate this style on my real hair and then be sad that it doesn't look as good.

I hopped over to The Dressing Room today [I THINK it's the last day for the current cycle, but don't quote me on that] and picked up these cute Brera pumps by YS&YS. I'm wearing the version with socks, but there is a prim foot-no sock version as well. And I couldn't resist snatching up Glam Affair's Cassiopea Retro skin while I was at TDR! It's just so pretty!

For someone who didn't plan on blogging today, I sure have written a lot!

When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip!

I used to dye my hair a lot when I was younger. I've had hair that was platinum blonde and jet black and cherry red and many other colors. I haven't done more than touching up my dark roots or getting highlights in the past few years, but I'm a HUGE fan of the dip dye hair! I'd do it myself if I didn't think someone would look at me funny. When I saw the Secretive hair by Magika, I loved the style. But more than that - I loved the dipped color!




The dipped colors come with Color Pack #3, so remember that if you're interested in just dipped colors. I really adore how Magika does the HUDs for the hair because it's like getting a small fatpack for a low price.

I'm A Unicorn

I really hadn't planned on blogging this outfit. It was just a fun thing I threw together before heading out to a party last night. But I showed a pic of the skirt on plurk, and Gogo said I reminded her of a unicorn. How could I not blog my unicorn outfit after that??




Auxiliary has these cute Alluring Mini Skirts out at Collabor88 and I have never been one to pass up a cute mini skirt! It is mesh, and you will probably need to wear underpants with it unless you are either A) good at modding alpha layers, or B) don't mind flashing cooter. Auxiliary isn't officially open yet, but from the sneak previews they've given us so far, I cannot WAIT until they do!

Also at Collabor88, Ploom has this lovely Tart hair. I used to have my hair like this ages ago where it's a little longer in the front. I'm wearing the dipped color and there is a HUD to change your colors! If it came in a rainbow dipped color, I'd be in heaven!

My Butterfly necklace by Maxi Gossamer and Pinwheel pose by aDORKable Poses are also out at Collabor88 this month. What did I tell you guys about this being a fantastic month there??

I have to go prance around like a unicorn now! Bye!
