Envy Aims Very High.
~ Ovid
I want to be brave, and go exploring sims, unearthing new places that are exciting and thrilling. I want to take pictures that are breathtaking and drive other people to seek out the gorgeous sites I’m showing them.
But, I get distracted by how cute I am. Continue reading
Truth has released three new long hairs which are freaking gorgeous plus one – Blair has a hat! HAT I SAY! Hat hair is much maligned and there is a reason. It’s often just crap. This isn’t true today though because this is a great winter cap which is texture change to let you wear it with different outfits! YAY TEXTURE CHANGE!
The necklace is the very cute kawaii themed release from Dark Mouse for the project Theomery thing or however you spell it. I don’t know what that word means. I also don’t care. Is it even a word? I don’t much care because creators release awesome things for it so it could be called the Fart Festival I’d still go and see what is new.
THEMEORY! THAT is how you spell it. I went to my fave blog for all events – Seraphim to look it up. Seraphim is the shiz.
Now your shopping list should be short:
Hair: TRUTH – Blair, Blair 2 and Charmain – I’m wearing Swedish Blonde
Skin: Baistice – Cloe in Porcelain Tone
Top – MonTissu – Boho Blouse
Necklace – Dark Mouse – Happy Bow for project Themeory
I come from a town with only one store and I can list everything it sold. Eggs, bread, butter, burgers and fries, hot dogs and onion rings, 3.2 beer and soda, minnows and earthworms and that’s about it, other than renting canoes, boats and cabins. Needless to say, it didn’t have a Black Friday sale. The next town down the road had a gas station and a grocery store though only with the most basic fresh foods. For something so esoteric as, let’s say, broccoli, you would have to drive 50 miles or more. With that background, Black Friday never caught on. I guess that leaves me looking askance at those who wait in line for hours to shop. There’s nothing I want that much.

Monica Outlander of MiaMai has produced a gorgeous pantsuit with a gorgeous wool serge. I love its rich texture and jewel tone colors. But guess what, it’s cold outside, so…
I tossed on a snug warm sweater and scarf. The sweater is from Novocaine – a store that has sadly left the grid. The scarf, though, is a new release from Baiastice. It comes in several colors and also includes a additional piece that can cover up your lower face for those bitterly cold days.

If there is one thing I’ve learned watching Cajsa style over the past few years, is that what seems to “go” with what you’ve just put on is often furthest from what you are going for.
The temperature in my RL has dropped significantly, and the new scarf from Baiastice was where I started my outfit- along with these boots from TenFifteen. Now, I was naked wearing a scarf and boots. Continue reading
The portent of doom and caution from GAME OF THRONES seemed best set to a bleak backdrop. This location at Mystickal Tymes isn’t quite Winterfell yet it’s imposing and a great place to shoot. Continue reading
I usually do not shoot my photos with shadows enabled. They just are not important enough to me to bother with the hassles. There’s so many little aggravations associated with it like turning system skirts into solid black in one viewer and losing all my alpha textures in another. However, the new pose prop from Behavior Body told me it wanted me to shoot it with shadows and when pose props start talking, they cannot be denied. I decided to go with this cute day dress from Indie Rose for the Vintage Fair because the prop told me to go black and white. Give a prop and inch and it will take a mile.
I even found these Lotus Pumps with Dots from Baiastice because there’s no telling what the prop would have done if i could not find some black and white shoes. Of course, I was only speaking with one of the prop’s personalities. It comes with a HUD for communicating with its inner spirit and I could have called up different walls and floor textures and released a completely different character from the prop – there’s even one that probably went to Woodstock and hung out with Jimi Hendrix back in the day.

If you have been trapped under something heavy and unable to get to your computer today, you might not be aware that the Vintage Fair is rolling live on othe grid at 4pm SLT on the 11th of November.
I’ve only made a preliminary pass through with my blogger press pass but so far I’m giddy with the fun vintage and retro inspired pieces I’ve seen. I thought I’d roll out the ball with two dresses, one from Rag Dollz and one from Kouse’s Sanctum. I do like a fun party dress.
What’s great about the Vintage Fair is that due to how ENORMOUS IT IS there is likely to be something awesome for everyone, whether your thing is conservative 40s style or hot rockabilly bad girl, you can find new pieces for your look to be certain.
I’m also wearing a skin from the Vintage Fair called Dharma from Essences, lipstick from Rozena and some cute eyes also from Rozena called Afternoon Tea. I’m not an eye collector but I know some of you are!
So then, Vintage Fair. Coming. November 11 at 4pm SLT. We got it? Good!

Saigye Lotus didn’t just put the world in a bottle with the necklace I highlighted yesterday. She gathered the sun and stars and bottled up their fire as well. This is another necklace with the amazing detail anyone with a passing acquaintance with Balderdash jewelry has come to expect. I am wearing it with a lovely striped sweater from Baiastice.
It’s a bit chilly, though, and luckily Baiastice released a poncho just this week. I tossed it on over my sweater and I am as snug as a bug in a rug. Probably more snug, since bugs in rugs can still get stepped on or zapped by insecticides.
Eclectic Wingtips of Eclectic Apparel is having a super sale, putting half of her store on sale at half off. Yes, 50% of the items are 50% off. Even better, there are a few 1 linden items such as this gorgeous little number to sweeten the pot. What I like best about Eclectic Apparel is that there are great basics, separates that can be combined and mixed and matched and build and extend your wardrobe. This is a stocker-upper sale.
