Hunting for Kisses

So I succumbed and spent a few hours hunting for kisses last night. I found some lovely items that I thought I would show in case you want to look for them too. One of my favorites so far was a Euphoria Fashions – a box with this lovely top in four colors, pants and shoes and possibly more. I sort of lost track in the generosity of the box. I love this top and will definitely make it a keeper.

Dress Me Up: Cajsa by Achariya

My directions from Achariya were quite generous in allowing me to choose what I wanted. She wrote:

For you, I think I’d want to see you in cute yet classic style from Japanese designers. How about a coat and pants and hair from DP**yumyum? (There are some pants on sale in the sale room, really cute capris). Boots from J’s, and other accessories from Swallowtail? ♥ Thank you for letting me play with you!

Far and Wide

I found a fun site last night – and forgive me if everyone in the world already knows about it – it was new to me. It’s part of Koin-Up a social networking site that overall confuses me and leaves me befuddled and unnetworked. However, it more than makes up for that with this resources. Koin-Up Places.It’s sort of a resident-generated pictoral directory of Second Life’s® cool places and it got me running far and wide. I shot this photo in Tuscany. Continue reading

Tree Hugging

Looking at the clear cut can be pretty sad, but over the hill there’s replanting. In fact, you can help support reforestation by going to the Happy Clam Island Reforestation Project and hugging a tree. Hugging a tree for 20 to 30 minutes while you are going through your day’s notes and message will pay to replant one tree. Or, you can just pay a tree directly. Just go and find a healthy uncut tree and give it a hug. It will thank you. And that should make you happy as a clam. Continue reading

Luv Chocolate

Wandering the forest last night, this wonderful chocolate sculptie jacket tossed on top of a melon cami kept me comfortably warm. Brown is a hot trend this spring – a popular neutral and with the popularity of tribal prints it’s finding its way into nearly every wardrobe. Some people jokingly say brown is the new black.

Well, I would like to argue for brown being the new black and the old black. It’s a softer tone, less hard, less stark and much more flattering against your skin. When choosing a top to wear with this chocolate skirt and sweater, I tried on pink, blue, yellow, cream, black and melon. I went with the melon, but I could have easily worn any of the other colors. Better yet, those colors next to brown look richer than when they are next to black. Next to black, they will look brighter – and be less flattering and look cheaper. So, what are you waiting for? Get some chocolate in your life.
