Books are the quietest and most constant of friends

I have always been a HUGE reader. I started when I was barely past my 3rd birthday and cannot seem to stop. My bookshelves are double stacked. I still prefer real books to Kindles/Nooks/whathaveyous. When I heard that the theme for this month's Collabor88 was Classic Novels, I squealed in delight! The designers did SUCH a wonderful job interpreting the theme!!

From Whippet & Buck comes the Tess lingerie. [And yay for the lingerie challenge!] It's simple and cute, just the way that I like it! Little bows, little lace, perfect!

Trompe Loeil set out the Novel Decor Bedroom Duo behind me. An awesome mesh bed and book table, this is a must have in any book AND mesh lover's home! I just love the colors. It's a little darker than I'd have normally, but oh so pretty!

Not at Collabor88, but new today, Elikatira released her newest mesh hair, Abbey! LOVE the back of this hair!

Although I think everyone should love reading, you should STOP reading now and go shopping!

Namaste

I always get excited for the events put on by Chic Management! They're always well put together with some fantastic designers. The upcoming Back To Black event is no different! Back To Black is an awareness event [not a charity event!] focusing on mental health and other disorders that impact our lives. When I saw the Leisure Outfit by Izzie's, I knew I HAD to put it on. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder over 10 years ago, and relaxation is definitely something that I work for every day!

Style - Namaste


I am seriously in love with the pants of this outfit! I want 20 pairs! And the lovely tank with the peace symbol flows just right. It's also mod, so if you need to make it bigger or smaller, it's no problem.

Also for the event is the Yoga Studio by Elefantu. This thing is AWESOME!

Style - Namaste, Yoga Studio


The picture honestly doesn't do it justice. When I got into it, I felt like I was in a real yoga studio! There are 8 mats with poses, so you and your friends can have a lovely in world yoga session to relax yourselves. It IS a little primmy, at just over 400 prims, but well worth every prim, in my opinion.

Back To Black opens to the public on February 11th. Don't miss it!

I need the right tool

I don't know WHY he sends me out to the garage to find anything. I don't know a ratchet from a hex-nut. Maybe I should call him out here to help me find the proper tool...

Style - I need the right tool


More lingerie! I got this set, Kira a while back from Seldom Blue. I'm not sure why I don't really wear it - it's totally lovely! There is a fluffy skirt with a train included with the set, as well as some frills for the knickers.

Now about that tool...

So, Let Me Tell You A Story

So I was trying to find something to wear for my lingerie challenge post today. I didn't feel like being SEXY, but cute and normal. I discovered the Amity set by Nyte N Day in my inventory, much to my delight! I didn't even realize I had it! I threw it on and thought, "Oh, I better go see if this is even still available in the store," since I didn't know when I had bought this. I don't like to go out in my underpants, so I just threw on some shorts over it, and I was already wearing over the knee socks and some big fluffy boots. I figured I'd just run in real quick anyway, so I didn't even bother turning off my dance HUD. But don't you know who was standing there at the front of the store as I hippity-hopped my way in? Nyte Caligari, owner of the store.

Style - So let me tell you a story


I'm not sure if she even saw me, I'm pretty sure she was working. But next time I will certainly get dressed and stop dancing before going shopping!!

You're My Angel

Day 3 of the lingerie challenge! Last year when I was getting married, I received a lovely lingerie set from Mon Cheri called You Are My Angel, which of course reminded me of the Aerosmith song! It's super pretty, don't you think?

Style - You're my Angel


It's a really great set with different colors of stockings and the choice of a thong or bikini panty. And really? Who doesn't feel just a little more glamorous wearing a boa??

IKON [aka Fashism rebranded] opened their doors today! I loved Fashism's eyes, so I was excited to see that some were still in the store, along with some brand new eyes! If you're in the IKON VIP group, there is a free pair for you today at the store. I couldn't resist buying some new Light Blue eyes.

Style - You're My Angel, Closeup


Loving them!

I need to go dance around and pretend I'm an innocent delicate angel now!

Think Of Me

More lingerie! I'm not sure if I'll be able to complete this challenge, I'm starting to get cold! But luckily I have some new hair to drape over me!

Style - Think Of Me


For Stumblebum this round, Truth has put out the Lana style! Thick, lush, and long - just my kind of hair!! The hair comes with the lower attachment just in case you're a little more on the boobsy side, or you need to move it around for photographs like I did here. Since it's for Stumblebum, the regular color packs for Lana are $200L each until the 14th.

My lingerie for today comes from Blacklace! I'm not terribly familiar with most of their things since I am actually pretty bad about buying lingerie regularly. I'm wearing the Sahara set in red floral and lace. I think it's so pretty! In the future, I might just wear the bra and panties since I'm not actually much of a corset girl. Very pretty!

Stumble In My Undies

The new round of Stumblebum has started! Until the 14th, you can get all kinds of goodies! And since Gogo wants everyone in their underwear, the Little Ache lingerie from Kyoot for this Stumblebum round was perfect!

Style - Stumble In My Undies


Frooti is also in Stumblebum this time around, and I'm doing one of the poses from the "I Do" pack. There's also a couples pose for those of you who are pregnant in SL!

This round of Stumblebum is until February 14th, so go get shopping!
