Insert hand pun here

O Hey a Hand...

I like it when some of my favorite designers do unexpected things. The last thing I expected from Draconic Kiss was this pretty little sun dress, and the last thing I expected from MiaSnow was a set of hands. But they both did these with panache, and I feel all ready for summer now! (Look at the veins in those hands! The hud has nail, skin, and bangle color options, as well as hand angle. Love!)

I also note that Pose Fair is going on right now. I have a standing (har har) vow to never attend pose fair, because I know I’ll blow my monthly rent immediately. However, some of Pose Fair came to me in the form of a new Tillie pose hud, complete with Diesel Works poses. Sweet!

Serendipitous Swan

Swansong Serendipity

This gorgeous jacket from Swansong is called Serendipity. Serendipity is one of my favorite words as well as a lovely concept. While I don’t believe in fate or karma or other supernatural interventions in our lives, I do believe in serendipity. Serendipity is making desirable discoveries by accident, finding fortunate or agreeable things while you’re not looking for them, the happy coincidences of life. It’s that charming coincidence of deciding to wear a bright, colorful jacket like this one from Swansong and teleporting to Collbora88 and finding the fabulously florescent colored shoes from R2 that are a perfect complement, without even intending to look for them.

Contessina by Glam Affair

I have a confession. I used to over shoot all my blog posts by, oh, probably 100 pics. Yeah, you heard me. I’d shoot like 100 pics or more and then sit and sort and sort and sort and try to figure out two or three that worked. Call it rookie blogger behavior, call it insecurity but it’s true.

It’s been a long four years blogging, and Cajsa will be be proud to learn that not only have I stopped that, this morning…I shot one picture.

This is it.

I have a second confession. When I shoot serious fashiony looks like this, I always pretend I am Mavi Beck. True fact.

Oceans Apart

There is nothing I like more than seeing a picture on a blog that makes me go OMG I MUST HAVE THIS! Which is exactly how I felt seeing the Lana dress on Cajsa the other day. It’s a mesh release from Baiastice and it is in fact probably one of my favorite mesh dress releases with it’s vintage swagger and fun colors. Continue reading

The Aviator

Aviator 1

I bet if you ask most little boys (and probably some little girls) what they want to be when they grow up, you’ll hear “fighter pilot” quite a few times for an answer. And why not? These courageous men and women protect their countries and have had their exploits glorified in movies like Top Gun. Some, like my dad who was a bomber pilot many moons ago, are able to follow those childhood dreams. Most of us have to continue dreaming…

The Grasslands

Noweeta Grassland

I spent far too much shopping this weekend with so many new releases and events that I decided to take a break and go for a walk at the fabulous Noweeto Grasslands. I thought the lizard tote from Celoe would love to go for a walk with me.

Corsets in sushi and cupcake

I adore allegory's new corsets

Schadenfreude has these corsets. Three of the patterns have little cupcakes all over them, and three have sushi. Obviously I fell in love and couldn’t choose which to wear today, so I wore two. Luckily, the new cute Hethr necklace from Lolapop suited them both. (And those of you who followed www.Achariya.net while it was alive will notice that this is similar to the photos that Mourna and I used to take. Yeah, I got nostalgic!) See the complete outfit here.

You Would Hardly Recognize Me, I’m So Glad…

Well except for that whole over dressed avatar with a blonde wig thing wearing my shape. I guess you might recognize me.

Sometimes though, the exhilaration of life and change sweeps you up and makes you pause to think about how beautiful everything is, how good it is, and how at this point – there is nothing you would change. Every step though the purple flowered lagoon led you here and well, dammit, I’m wearing a new dress from Donna Flora and literally I couldn’t be one ounce fucking happier. Continue reading
