A Sea of Sirens Tears

Helena Stringer - IOF - Love Donna Flora - 3

When I first heard and then read about the Donna Flora event, I cried, I really did. I don’t do it often, but it really hit me. I cried a little again, when I realized I missed the cutoff date for applications for designers.

So I shopped instead.

Helena Stringer - IOF - Love Donna Flora - 5

I have never had the opportunity to talk with Squinternet. I’d sometimes see her setting up vendors in the shop, or out and about at events. I do however know her store line personally, as I have acquired many pieces from it over the years.

Some of you may know me, or of me, some of you may not, but one thing that can be universally seen in many of my posts is my love of colour. I also love period and retro styles. Donna Flora was one of those places I could go, get a Purple/Orange/Red patterned dress, grab gold, like real looking gold jewelry(so hard to find) and come out not looking like a clashy mess.

What I Needed Was MEGA FLAMINGO

The Linden Landscape and be dreary, and apparently full of something glowing and full bright. You can’t count on your neighbors to be tasteful, that’s for sure. Since I now have friends who live somewhere in this megalopolis, I wanted to find a beacon that would help them get to #104 Linden Ghetto.

I feel like a MEGA FLAMINGO really says a lot.

It’s from Weather or Not for FLUX event and it’s not just decorative! It’s a festive pose prop. Continue reading

Before the night is through…

Haunted (1)

I did a bit of urban exploration last night. I went to Hackberry Hall, a build listed in the “Haunted” section of the destination guide. Teleporting landed me in an enclosed Victorian-looking room with no discernable exits. I was too twitchy to solve any puzzles, so I panned out and poked around the sim until I found something to sit on… The other part of the sim is a gorgeously dank manor house that suited my Southern Gothic soul to the core.

I loved the little touches like the moon stationed firmly to the side of one of the gables, the barren trees, the little flying things… I didn’t get a chance to explore the house yet, but perhaps tomorrow. It definitely helped sooth my longings for October. Not long now, favorite month. Not long now.

I’ve posted a lot of photos after the cut!

A haunting we will go...

Vintage Beauty from PXL Creations for COLLABOR88

PXL Creations has released a beautiful Vintage KATE skin for Collabor88 this month, complete with great pencil thin eyebrows for a true retro look. There are four variations to the lips, and there are actually “regular” eyebrows included but I was feeling very 1920s this morning. Continue reading

A tourist in Syrinx

Syrinx (3)

I went wandering again last night. While my husband read to my newly-returned kid, I went poking around Roleplay sims. A few of them in the destination guide lead to busted links (including one to some Bloodlines sims, I guess they’re momentarily down?). But one of them led to Syrinx, “a rustic Viking sim dedicated to providing an authentic Viking Village experience.”

Some people live here, which is neat, although it was empty when I went last night. Maybe they were all out picking up some rustic Viking outfits from the 1920s at Collabor88? I quite enjoyed finding the little nooks and crannies built into the sim. I like the phallic standing stones inscribed with runes, and the serious-looking deer lingering around the monuments. I liked the totally anachronistic pirate ship and cave on one side of the sim (I dunno, it’s SL), and I also adored the tiny rocky islands thick with evergreens.

My other favorite part was the blacksmith area, which also had a bear hyde tanning neatly beneath a few hungry-looking birds.

Go check out Syrinx! My avatar (with camera ready) is below in her new Katat0nik jumper, and a few more pictures of the sim are behind the cut.

I Love When The Feeds Are Beautiful

Collabor88 this month has caused a riot in the usual styling on the feeds. Classy, sleek lines and elegant chic are widely replacing some of the more questionable choices.  I have to say, it warms the heart. Continue reading

Love Donna Flora Ends In A Few Hours

As I was getting ready for an evening in, I realized I haven’t reminded you that LOVE DONNA FLORA ends and I mean within HOURS! There is still time to get amazing gorgeous items to help out our friend Squinternet as she battles cancer.

I’m wearing beautiful lingerie from Luxuria for the event, and sexy, girly bedroom slippers from SLink.  Perfect for sexy evenings in, like I have planned. My skin is also for the event from PXL Creations. It’s a gorgeous, femme look with soft features.  Continue reading

Fancy Friday

It’s Friday night and that can only mean one thing – get dressed up and find a fancy dress party. Good thing I finally made it into Collabor88 because there are plenty of items to make all your fancy dress party dreams come true! Like this glorious vintage dress from Ison. It was love at first site.

Every Day Waiting For You

An elegant throwback to a more refined and stylish time, this month’s COLLABOR88 celebrates the era of flappers and art deco, the time when men were men and women were dames.

I already said that, didn’t I?

Well it’s still true.

Except that only cheap women were dames and I’m a lady. Obviously. Continue reading

Shark Bait

Helena Stringer - IOF - Shark Bait

I was going to do this super complicated post with this dress, as I really loved the colours. I figured I could do all sorts of things. I can make a magical half dragon, half human princess who hoards jewels.

I went off and did my daily things, shopped a wee bit, got so many compliments on this simple styling, that I said, hey, why not just blog it this way, people seem to think it works. What probably threw me off was the normality of it.

If ever I do become a magical dragon/human half-breed jewel hoarding princess, I will let you know.
