Barrier Methods

Leave a reply

If there is anything you learn growing up in the land of the ice and snow, it’s that you need to stay dry and keep the wet cold off of you. Layers, and the right ones are the key. You’ll get cold, but you won’t be TOO miserable by the time you get home to peel off  your frozen outerwear and warm back up.

Being warm is a bugaboo for me. As a child, we had a house with out insulation. After the blizzard hit, we spent many nights sleeping in every item of clothing we owned, on the floor in front of the fireplace.

So, I won’t be cold. Not ever, if I can help it. Continue reading →

The Difference Between Simple And Elegant Is Style

Leave a reply

Miamai’s Black Label event THE GOLDEN THREAD launched several gorgeous new releases. Shoes from Miamai are always something a fashionista needs, because the simplest touches, faux platform, gorgeous burst of purple on the heel, transform a traditional slip on strappy heel into a little work of art for your feet.

It’s that something extra in styling, that sets the truly unique apart and makes them not only coveted but admired as well.  These area  must have.

Now I wish I had some cute shoes to put on in RL!

I Need A Ding Dang Chair

Leave a reply

I have made the Arcade Yard Sale rounds and I have to say, I’ve very nearly got everything I want. I’m not THAT needy, I don’t have to have them ALL of anything, and there are some rares that elude me. I won’t pay much more than pull price though – so you see, it’s tough for me to complete a set because so many people jack up the prices so high.

For instance, the chair for the amazing Apple Fall set. Continue reading →

Some Snaps from the Home Tour – WEEKEND ONE

Leave a reply

I was cleaning out my SL purse and realized I had some snaps in there that I wanted to share from weekend one of the SL HOLIDAY HOME TOUR.  If you are interested in taking the tour on one of the upcoming weekends (I think there are two more) contact Tymmerie Thorne in SL or on plurk and she’ll get you the NC of Slurls!

The snaps I managed to take were at my friend Darkley Aeon’s house. You might know Darkley from Guerilla Avatar. Where she blogs flawlessly with a great sense of style and consistently great quality images.  If you haven’t checked out her blog before you SHOULD.

So, let’s look at her stuff.

Darkley is living back in my old neighborhood in the Government Housing. She’s prim limited but has made some great choices. She created a frosty winter living room look with hints of ice blue – looks like a lot of it is from Bazar which makes GREAT low land impact furniture.

It’s an elegant room but with a great wintry look. Continue reading →

The Holiday Home Tour – I’ll Start With Me!

Leave a reply

I spent the better part of a week hunting the new and the awesome to decorate my house for this Christmas season. I have to admit I’m a little sad that the Arcade didn’t open in time for me to add some of the lovely things I’ve seen that are coming but eh, I’ll get them in what- 3 weeks when you can get in? 🙂 Oh who am I kidding? I’ll totally get them at yardsales – tomorrow.

I am so excited about the holiday home tour. My mother and I used to always go to holiday home tours when I lived near her, it was a glimpse at a house I’d never have – kind of like day dreaming a little fantasy – and sharing it with your mom. But in SL we can all have whatever kind of house we want. I love to see how people express their holiday joy when they decorate. I hope you enjoy mine.

The living room is always the room I work on first as I consider it the room for entertaining and socializing. Plus it’s what you see first when you walk in the room.

Trompe Loeil has a really comfy holiday sofa and I combined it with some chairs from What Next, a pillow basket and coffee table from earlier releases of Trompe Loeil as well. Continue reading →

Beige Patent Pumps Just Like Kate

Leave a reply

I heard a radio show shortly before the Royal Wedding, talking about beige patent pumps. Beige patent pumps are apparently everything. Kate Middleton had been seeing wearing them at appearances, suddenly you had to have them. The morning shopping guide on the radio show (because this is now a thing apparently) went through and told us what brand Kate was wearing and since we obviously can’t afford those (commoners) told us where to get them priced in our (commoner) price range.

Luckily for us pixel girls, LVLE has come out with a gorgeous pair of beige pumps that fit the bill with gorgeous texturing that subtly shines.  We might not get to marry a prince, but we’ve got cute shoes so really, that’s probably good enough.

Pixel princes are a dime a dozen anyway, girls. Continue reading →

Sunday Finest

I always forget why I don’t wear mesh eyelashes until I go to process pictures where I was wearing them. The demon eyes in my shadow amuse me, yet, it’s not EXACTLY what I was going for. I suppose it could be that I’m being shadowed by my demons. Let’s go with that. Continue reading →
