Such Winter

I’m excited to be reveling in winter in SL while having lovely days in RL. Yay for living in a warmer part of the country. I am not sure what the new year holds, a lot of people are making resolutions. Do you make them? I sometimes feel like resolutions are just attention whoring “Look at me look at me!” but maybe they’re genuine attempts at making positive changes. It’s definitely not for me to say!

I’m excited a new year is coming, and changes are ahead. I hope you are too.

I should’ve worn gloves. Brrrr.

We’ve Even Got A Christmas Queen

The title was the first thing I thought of when I slipped into this cloak and gown set from Sascha’s Designs yesterday. Lucy van Pelt understood the importance of wearing the crown, so I couldn’t resist this opportunity to do so myself.  It’s a lovely gown for the winter holiday entertaining season WITHOUT the cloak of course, but it’s a lovely winter ensemble all together so I had to include both the cloak and the tiara.

Freak Shows of Emotion

I am, in general, an overly emotional person. I can assign meaning to things that have none to the one rendering the action. Hurts hit me and don’t fade with time. I hold grudges. Except that over the past few months I’ve had a realization, I stopped caring about them.

I realized it when I was talking to blogger Sam Laszlo on plurk, and I said something like, “I think you don’t like me, or I don’t like you – I can’t remember which.”  We ran into each other at the blogger preview for Arcade and he asked me if we were still at war, at which point we added each other to our friends list and laughed.

I came to SL for a place to relax and get away from the hectic RL and somehow it took on a life of it’s own and has had so much drama it should be a show.  I somehow ended up with actual enemies, something I can’t fathom having in real life. Who the hell has enemies? Is this Sherwood Forest? Should I be afraid of the Sheriff too?  Continue reading

The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway

Glam Affair has a new release at COLLABOR88 in one of my favorite skin tones – SUPER PALE GIRL. Called POLAR it’s perfect for us girls who burst into flame in the sun.  She’s gorgeous and ivory toned for winter months.  Continue reading

A Weekend At Granny’s

Cajsa suggested I come over to Granny’s cottage for the weekend and with such a picturesque landscape to relax in, how could I resist?

Cajsa put me in charge of dinner while she went to to nap. That’s probably a mistake, because while I love to bake, I can’t cook for a damn. But I think pie and cookies counts as dinner right? We’re on vacation ! How can that be wrong? Continue reading

What’s Your Slink Obsession?

My Slink Obsession is getting ready to kick off another round TODAY and I’m showing off the skin release from YS & YS that will be at the event. All items at the event are 50% off so if you’re a SLINK girl, it’s a great event to pick up much needed items. The PHYSIQUE body looks gorgeous with this applier on it. Here is a TAXI if you can’t WAIT to get there.

I’m also wearing lingerie from ERRATIC for Physique – it’s not at this month’s event but at her shop and I LOVE it. I need more lingerie for my bod.  Continue reading

The True Story of the Ridiculously Glittering Dress – And Why You Need It

Fierce Designs is not a new name in SL fashion, but it’s not one you see in big events these days. Still, if you’ve got a few years under your belt, you know the name but might not have thought of the shop in a while. Well, I’ve got a reason for you to pop over there NOW.

Sally has created a glittering evening gown, that is seriously both the silliest and most awesome dress I’ve put on in a while. Remember back when fashion was FUN and everyone didn’t have to pretend they were ripped straight from Vogue? I do. And so I bring you – the ridiculously glittering dress. Continue reading

Soldier Girl

B.C.C. is offering adorable toy soldier suits at THE ARCADE this round, and this one is a SECRET RARE. So I’m letting The Secret OUT! I really was delighted by it when I opened it up. I love nutcrackers and toy soldiers, I always have to have them at the holidays for decorating. There is so much this round to share, I hardly know where to start. Continue reading

A Vision In White

Baiastice was one of my first FANCY stores in SL. The store where you walk in and look around, going oooooo man……how am I ever going to afford any of these? But of course eventually you realize you can, and that it’s better to have one of something good than 20 of something shitty.  Continue reading

The Fitted Mesh Of My Dreams

It’s the season for cocktail dresses and great big jewels, so you can imagine my joy to see that Sysy’s has released perfect cocktail dresses for the season, and they’re only 95L at My Attic during the event.  I remember the first time I put on fitted mesh when it wasn’t compatible with my mesh body and the absolute RAGE I felt that I couldn’t wear them together. Seriously, what’s the point of a perfect world where you can’t be perfect?  Continue reading
