Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book

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!!

FaMESHed for April is OPEN! And that's no foolin'!




Rebel Hope has brought us these awesome Malibu maxi dresses in a whole bunch of colors. What I love about a maxi dress is that you can really take them from day to night. They're perfect for running around on the beach, but at night they look just as awesome! These go ALL the way to the ground, so if you're a shorter girl like I am, you'll need some heels.

And how awesome is the new Tymber hair from Truth for FaMESHed?? I'm always always on the search for the perfect ponytail and he seriously nailed it! It's cute in the front with the long side swept bangs, and the back is all kinds of adorable with loose curls. Love!

Be sure to stop by Pose Fair if you haven't yet! Today I'm using poses from fri.day from their sweet.sour pack!

Pose Fair Is Coming!

Pose Fair is coming!!!! I'm so excited!! Posemakers are some of the unsung heroes in Second Life, in my opinion. If you like to sit with your partner, or take fun pictures, or fashion blog - you NEED posers! And if you're a blogger and you never credit at least who made your pose, you kinda suck.

Without the posemakers, all our fashion pictures would look like this.




Yeahhh.... That's not hot. At all.

But, due to our fab posemakers and all the fun they bring to our SLives, we get awesome pictures like this!




Pose Fair 2013 is brought to you by The Hottie Cooterati Experience and starts on March 29th. The event runs until April 14th, so you'll have a couple of weeks to come out and buy all the amazing poses and animations our awesome creators have to offer! I'll have the SLurl for the event on opening day! Go now!!

Suddenly Last Summer

I know, I know. We JUST got to spring and already I'm thinking about summer?? I can't help it! I'm a total summer girl! When I tried on the new Nox jumper in Candy from Coldlogic yesterday, I immediately thought, "Oh, that's a summer vacation outfit right there."




You can't really tell from this photo, but the back is totally open! Love love love! Coldlogic released a LOT of gorgeous items yesterday, so you'll want to hurry on over there to shop!

Now where is that cabana boy....

It's Time To Begin

The first day of Spring is rapidly approaching, and I am thrilled! I love the start of new seasons, but spring is a special favorite because it is such a rebirth of life. In my opinion, of course. :) And I'm also just so happy with all the lovely spring clothes that are hitting the grid!




Gos Boutique's new Lolita espadrilles are ridiculously cute and so very very perfect for spring! If you remember, Gos had espadrilles years ago, but these ones look even MORE amazing because they are mesh and have the foot & sheath so that it fits a LOT better than the old ones did. The espadrilles also use the Colour+ system, meaning that if you buy one pair in blue and later buy one pair in red, you can mix and match the colors of the ribbon, seam, toecap, and laces using the included HUD. I'm only wearing mine in Dusk Blue, but I had a ball mixing up all the colors to get a bright and cheerful look! These shoes are exclusive to The Boutique currently.

OneBadPixel released some new items recently, including these fab Cuffed Denim shorts, which I'm wearing in a floral print. I had a pair almost exactly like this in RL when I was younger! These shorts fit SO well, too! Sometimes mesh shorts tend to give me a really super huge bubble butt or cut off weirdly, but these are perfect!

Drift is one of those stores where every time they come out with something new, I just get super happy! I'm wearing the new Hangover tank, which is just a cute strappy tank that has removable ruffles at the bottom. I'm not wearing the ruffles today because I was just thrilled to death to find a short mesh tank, but the awesome part is that you can change the colors of both the ruffles and the tank separately. How much do you love options like that??

Well, I'm off to play with my new spring clothes!

Green Means Go!

It's a sunny, warm, gorgeous day in my neck of the woods, so I'm keeping this short! If you didn't already know, The Boutique opened yesterday! If you love great fashion from great designers, you absolutely MUST check this event out. If you can't find SOMETHING that you like...well, I just don't know about you. :) Have a wonderful day!

Could I Take The Bullet

I spent Saturday afternoon reading a free novel on my Kindle and the main girl in the book was a this rich girl who had some of the most amazing outfits. Later I found out the author is big into Polyvore, which explains it. But in the book, this beautiful girl with the amazing outfits has to face kidnapping and being put into hiding. As I was getting my outfit together, I kept thinking about her. I think she would have liked this. Hopefully you do, too!

PS: If you're interested in the book, it's Stalk Me by Jillian Dodd. It's a teen book, and NOT the best thing you'll ever read, but it kept me entertained for a few hours on Saturday.

Thin line between dreams and memories

I'll admit, I am a home decorating junkie! I pick up so much home and garden stuff, it is probably the biggest folder in my entire inventory, and that's really saying something if you've ever seen my inventory. Collabor88 gave me another H&G fix this month because there are some cute cute things for all your decorating needs.

I promise!] The theme this month is "New Romance" so expect ruffles, lace, and soft colors. Collabor88 also has a great new build, so you guys will have lots to see this month! See you there!

Oh so random!

Do you notice that when The Arcade rolls around, you find yourself wearing just the most random things? I know I sure do! But that's okay because sometimes, just sometimes, we need a little randomness in our lives.

You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.

Zodiac is still going strong and honestly, I think this might be the best round yet. Now, I know I've said that before, but wow, this round is something! If you haven't been yet, hit it up this weekend!

So Glad I Was There

I'm happy every day that I log into Second Life, but I'm even happier when there's new pretties to get!




Coldlogic just did a new release and I'm so into this Norton combo! It comes in several colors, of course, but the coral color just called out to me! You also have the option of just using the cardigan. Yay!

And oh my gosh, how perfect does the Khaleesi's Temptation necklace from Maxi Gossamer for Collabor88 work with this outfit?? Total love!

I have loads more shopping to do today, and so do you, so let's get to it!

Zodiac has many awesome designers, as usual, and so so many things that I know you guys will just love. It opens tomorrow [the 19th] at 12pm SLT. See you there!

Happy Valentine's Day, Baby.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Last night, my adorable husband came home and saw me. His first words were, "Are you only wearing a trench coat?" Nope....I have shoes on, too.




Have you heard about the Coldlogic anniversary photo contest? You could receive all new releases for a WHOLE YEAR if you win! Who wouldn't love that, right?? Just go over here to the blog post to find out all the details!

If you're part of the Gos Boutique in-world group, head on over to the store to pick up your free pair of red glitter Grace heels! Remember, you have to be part of the Gos BOUTIQUE group, not the Collective! It is a $500L joining fee now, so if you didn't get in on it while it was free last week, you'll need to pay. It's worth it, though!

Collabor88 is still going strong and although a little late to the party, Barnesworth Anubis has his new Chinoiserie bedroom set out now! There are a BUNCH of animations in the bed...you know, for all your Valentine needs. *wink wink nudge nudge*

I'm gonna go spend my WHOLE ENTIRE TEN LINDENS that Linden Labs was so nice to give us last night. Have a great day, everyone!

I have lots of shopping to do tonight, and I know you all do, too, so it's just a pic and credits today! I'll be back to my long winded self later! :)

My Friends Are Mean!

I'm not saying how they're mean, but they are. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID. :-p




Yesterday I saw this super cute purse called Cat's In The Bag and I had to run right out to Remarkable Oblivion to pick it up! It's different than most of the purses I carry, but that's what I love about it! There were some really cool rings out at the store too, so I know I'll be back.

While I was out there, a girl was in the store with this hair. I loved it! I had to snap a pic of her and ask my Plurk buddies where I could find it. This led to them being VERY MEAN to me!! But whatever, because they did tell me to go to Ploom where I found the Mile High Pony. I think it's adorable! I love big hair and always will. :)

Kitty and I are going to shop!

[PS: My friends are actually awesome. I'm just teasing them like they teased me. :)]

I Surrender Honestly

I'm feeling awfully lazy today. I really don't even want to get out of bed!




More goodies from FaMESHed! I fell in love with the adorable Bowlicious dresses from The Secret Store when I first saw the photos! I'm wearing it in cappuccino because I sure could use one right now!

Gos Boutique has a special Gold Snake color of the Grace sandals for FaMESHed this round. I'm not usually a big fan of animal prints, or snakes, but I really couldn't resist buying these gorgeous shoes.

Trompe Loeil's Gramercy bedroom suite is so perfect, I can't get over it. I'm just using the bed right now, but truly, the whole set is amazing. It's also great for men because it's not overly feminine like many bedroom sets in Second Life tend to be.

Not at FaMESHed, how cute is the Virginie hair from Truth?? I love the swoop to the side! Have I mentioned how much I love his Fades pack? I've been wearing the Seasand fade color lately and it's just fab!

Enough of that - let's get some shopping done!

Oh my goodness, what a crazy past few days I've had! I meant to blog this on Saturday but... Anyway, FaMESHed opened! Yay! I'll keep the post short and sweet today.




New goodies for FaMESHed from The Loft, Maxi Gossamer, and Erratic! All amazing, all VERY necessary for your SLife! :)

Truth also released new hair this past weekend, and of course you need it too. I am in love with this London hair and have not once taken it off in DAYS.

Shopping time!

What wine goes with Captain Crunch?

I don't really drink at all, but I felt like there just HAD to be wine bottles on my new Cabinet Hutch by Trompe Loeil for Collabor88. But don't ask me what wine goes with what food. I'd never be able to tell you.




SySy just released her new Rayures pants. Total love! I do so love both pinstripes and wide legged pants. The pants come in both lengths for heels and flats.

All I can think about is cereal now, so I'll go eat, and you go shop!
