A Walk In The Park

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!

Happy shopping!

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




Fri.day's new Cora heels for Collabor88 are so sweet, they'll give you a toothache! The ribbon wraps around the front and ties in the back in a bow. The shoes come in several super pretty colors and fit Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya feet.

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!

The True Joy Is In Giving

The holidays are fast approaching, y'all! Have you finished all your shopping yet? I haven't, but I gave myself new goodies and really, you have to give yourself something once in a while, too!




I hopped on over to Kustom9 yesterday and picked up this totally adorable sweater dress! The Nordic Knit dress from Amitomo is just so my style! It's all kinds of soft and cozy, and it also comes with a little fur collar that you can detach if you want.

The dress goes perfectly with the Fiona boots by Fri.day, also out at Kustom9. I just LOVE boots with attached socks! You can make the socks invisible, though, with the HUD, or change the color.

Have you been out to FaMESHed this month? If you haven't, you should go so you can get the Christmas Sled from Exposeur! There are 5 poses in the sled so you can take some great pics!

Happy shopping!

There Is No Sweeter Innocence Than Our Gentle Sin

Have you been out to Uber yet? You need to go!! Fri.day has some gorgeous heels out there that you need in your life.




I am loving the Opal heels for Uber this month! They're so sleek and pretty with a super tall heel. You'll need the Slink High feet for these, or whatever the Belleza equivalent is. [I don't have that particular body so I'm not sure what they're called. Sorry!]

Head on out to Uber so you can buy your pretties!

Everybody Has Those Days

There are some great events going on right now! The Kawaii Project has every twee, cutie pie thing you could possibly want, and The Liaison Collaborative is getting us all ready for winter! I'm actually having one of those days where I can't concentrate on anything, so you're spared too much of my talking today. :) What you really need to do is go shopping!

There's an art to life's distractions

Sometimes you just don't want to do anything, am I right? You just want to hang out, sit around, distract yourself with looking out at the trees and grass. And you know what? That's TOTALLY okay! You need to do that sometimes!




Fri.day released the new Maggie boots for Collabor88 and I squealed in joy when I saw them! The boots themselves are so pretty, but it's the cute cute sock tops that just make them perfect! The sock tops are detachable and can change colors with a HUD.

Coldlogic released some coats recently, and I am so in love with the Anselmo coat! It reminds me of a bomber style jacket, but all soft and pretty. There is an undershirt to wear with it, but it is detachable.

Oh, and can we talk about my cutiecute pose?? A couple of days ago on Plurk, Olaenka of oOo Studio asked for some pose ideas, and since I'm all full of ideas, I threw some pictures at her. Then she surprised me with a little mini pack of poses named after me! Squee! Thank you, Olaenka!

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

Preparations

My honey has been away for the past few days, but he'll be home soon. I thought I better start getting ready for his return by putting on something pretty. But I don't know... I think he might be okay with just this outfit.




Stellar is at My Slink Obsession with the Eva lingerie, and oh, is it pretty! It has appliers for the Slink Physique body [which I am wearing in the pic] but if you don't have the Physique, there is just regular texture layers in the pack. It looks just as good on the regular body, too!

I think to complete my look, I'll need shoes. I have the perfect pair from Fri.day that are out at Uber this month!




The Eve heels are are great mix of being sexy, fancy, and supremely wearable with a variety of outfits. They come in several colors and are only available at Uber right now.

Time to finish getting ready!

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!

Give A Girl The Right Shoes And She Can Conquer The World

Do you ever go to take a picture and you find the right pose and the right angle and then you realize "Oh my god, this looks like I have no clothes on!" Yeah, that's me today. I'm not naked! Just focus on my fab new shoes!





The Gathering is a cool gacha event happening this month, and Fri.day is participating! I love the Xela heels for the event. They have a super high, thick heel, wrap all the way up to your ankles, and the back has a big bow. There are options for the Slink and Belleza feet. The shoes come in 5 colors and are only $50L a play. That is a heck of a deal!

Please remember that there is a script limit of 50MB enforced at The Gathering, so take off your radars and scripted jewelry and all of that. I know you guys know how to be cool at events to keep them as lag free as possible, but sometimes we do forget something here and there. I usually forget to take my wedding ring off and it's sooo scripty!

The Gathering is going on from now until October 15th, so go get your gacha on!

At The End Of The Day

Do you have stores where no matter what they release or how often they release, you get totally excited? Coldlogic and Truth are those stores for me!




Coldlogic just did a big fall release and I am so here for it! I was wearing the new Caron cropped sweater last night and my husband immediately told me how cute it was. It's a winner! I didn't think I was going to like the new Leck pants because of the tiny ankles, but once I put them on, I realized how adorable they really are. The whole release is really cute, so you need to check it out.

Truth released Shae recently and it's the hair I needed in my life. Truth does amazing braids anyway, but this big fluffy side braid is so so gorgeous, I can't get enough of it.

I hope fall is treating all of you well!

Though This Feeling I Can't Change

I'm not really the dressy type these days. You're much more likely to find me in jeans and flats. But once in a while, my "fancy" comes out!







The Liaison Collaborative is OPEN and how fab is the Narcissist dress by Valentina E?? It comes in two options, one with the closed high front [which I'm wearing because I'm a lady] and one with the open front to show off plenty of cleavage. Both have the low open back. The jeweled necklace comes with a texture change option, as well.

Collabor88 is going strong and you have to check out the new Gloria heels by Fri.day! These shoes are for the Slink high feet, and they are indeed high! The heel is super tall and the glittery strap snakes up your foot in a flattering way. You neeeed these heels in your life.

Oh, do you like my little bird friends? They're out at TLC this month from Half+Deer! They're from The Mad Scientist's Bird and Cage set. The little metal birds' eyes pulsate and glow, but it's not distracting at all.

Happy shopping!

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!!

A Little Wanderlust

So much going on lately, so let's jump right on in!




I have been SO into the new dresses that Coldlogic released this week! The McKay might be my favorite of the new releases because it's just so loose and pretty! I love that the print on the dress kind of reminds me of watercolored pictures, too.

The Liaison Collaborative opened up last week and how cute is my pose from Le Poppycock? This one I'm doing is called Wanderlust and comes with the balloons. It's part of the Chasing Dreams gacha at TLC.

Fri.day just released the new Zoe heels and I'm loving the chunky heel look that seems to be trending for fall!




Hurry on to Fri.day if you want to get the Zoe heels because they're 50% off for 48 hours! Woo! These are for the Slink high feet. Btw, did you know there's a free ankle lock at Slink now? Comes in SUPER freakin' handy when you're wearing the high and medium feet because those tend to "break" the ankle in a lot of poses and it looks bad.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

The summit of beauty and love

It's Collabor88's birthday this month! There aren't many monthly events that last longer than a year or so in SL, and even fewer that do it and stay so consistently good. It's a big event for their birthday month, so if you still can't get in [as I've heard even just this morning!], keep trying! You need to shop!






Fri.day is at C88 for the birthday fun with the new Persephone heels. I really like these because they're almost a bootie, but not quite, so they pair up well with both dresses and jeans.

I'm standing on the rooftop deck of the Santorini Villa by Barnesworth Anubis, also out at Collabor88 this month. This is definitely Greek inspired, and it's all clean and open on the inside. It's only 89 land impact, so it leaves you with lots of wiggle room for decorating.

Happy birthday, C88!

The New Scarlett

Have you ever watched Gone With The Wind? In the opening scene, Scarlett O'Hara is wearing this gorgeous white dress with a red sash. It's the floofy, ruffled, hoop-skirted gown of my dreams, basically. But well, if Scarlett was around today, she'd probably want something a little slimmer.




The L.S. sheath dress from Lumiere for FaMESHed is slim and simple and beautiful! It comes with a HUD to change the colors of the dress and belt, so you don't have to look like a modern day Scarlett O'Hara if you don't want to. Lumiere was formerly Pink & Wild and they don't appear to have an in world store, so you can find them on the marketplace.

Today is Fifty Linden Friday and !Bang has a pack of sit poses out! I don't know about you guys, but I'm forever trying to find decent sit poses, so this pack works great for me! !Bang just moved to its own sim recently, so check that out while you're shopping.

Happy Friday!

Traces of romance in our heads

Happy July, dear ones! I love the start of a new month, don't you? It's like a fresh start 12 times a year! Annnnnd...it's the start of a new round of FaMESHed!






You're going to see the Mutresse Netegli dress everywhere, but for good reason! It's one of those dresses that is so so easily dressed up and down, and with the color change options, you have SO many ways of customizing it to your needs!

Cae is also out at FaMESHed this month with the Hamsa jewelry set. The Hamsa hand is thought to protect against the envious, or the evil eye. So no one be jelly about my outfit today, because I'm protected! *laughs*

If you haven't been out to Rhapsody yet, you're missing out! Rhapsody is where I got my fabulous Jezebel heels from Fri.day, and my poses are from the Trance pack by An Lar!

Have a wonderful day!
