The fierce protector

“There is a look that can melt a woman’s heart from across a crowded room that tells other men, “She’s under my protection…” ~ Graham R. White

Mine 004

It’s not very common for me to wear coats in this fashion in real life as we just don’t have that kind of weather for it.  Casual is the norm and even in the winter, which if you know the southern part of the state of Florida, it’s mildly less hot than at other times of the year.   It’s why dressing up in Second Life has its perks.  Alright. We just like playing dress up.

The rigged mesh coat is from MoDANNA and is currently available at Fashion Fair that runs only until the 15th of October.  There are 8 colors to choose from and it’s reasonably priced at $179 lindens.

The other thing that I want to share is that Apple Fall still has some fantastic discounted items at the main store.  The chairs in the background and the building are both $0 lindens currently at the store.  You really can’t beat that price!

Buglets 007

Don’t I wish to have at least half the boundless energy that lil me displays when I bring her out to play.  The animation override that I use for her has her jumping all over the place and she can run circles around you leaving you panting and out of breath before you catch her.  Though she gets plumb tuckered out too and needs to sit and relax, otherwise she’s big time cranky.  Of course, I speak from experience here as I just woke up from an hour nap in real life.  Buglets has the perfect little checkered pillows for toddleedoos at Fiction & Fables that come in several colors and animations for sitting and laying.  Just what the little one needs when you need her to stay still.

Doggie 015

I’m doing a quick post to show this cute outfit that is all gacha at The Playroom, a montly event for the toddleedoo that will run from May 5th – 31st.  This complete outfit from Buglets with the jewelry are the commons with the rare being the donut pouf that has several poses.

I hope to blog another two posts maybe as I will be traveling this coming week and I’m undecided whether I will be dragging along a laptop with me.

Until then, have a great Saturday!

Laundry Day 033

I had another long day where I did a long loop of travel from home to work to a meeting in another town an hour away then back to work to drop off the employee who was with me and then the 40 minute trek back home.  One of those days where I ended up not being able to have lunch until about 4 pm and by then sporting a headache.  Next time I make it to the grocery store I’m storing up on a box of beef jerky and dumping a few in my purse.

Then I have to get home only to have to do laundry in Second Life.  Just kidding! As if!  I think that the moment that SL begins to feel like work that’s when I know it’s really time to move on.

Cinco De Mayo 015

When I saw this top and skirt from Ala Folie several days ago I thought it would be perfect to go around in for Cinco de Mayo.  The outfit comes with a HUD to change the colors of the top and skirt and my only wish was that I could have done that also for the middle portion so I could have made it white to reflect the Mexican Flag colors a little better.  This still works really well and I added the white head piece from LODE.  I am really loving the head accessories from LODE these days and this one is no exception and at 50L chance gacha you can’t go wrong with any color you get.

Little Flower 030

I’m fighting a little bit of a headache today and hoping some distraction might just be the thing to forget about it.   If you haven’t heard of Little Branch, they are behind some lovely landscaping products like these field of red poppies. They are exceptionally well done and realistic and make for a great addition to your landscape.  They can be found at the newest round at the Cosmopolitan Sales Room.

I am wearing a dress along with the head and neck handkerchiefs and the rose, which are gacha items at this month’s round of Shiny Shabby.  If you haven’t been then you should as they have some lovely items that depict the theme, “For the love of Russia.” M.Birdie did an excellent job with this dress that is in the style of the Matryoshka, which are those cute nesting dolls that are known as a traditional symbol of the Russian culture.  I’ve always loved these dolls and actually have my very own set from Russia. They were a nice gift from a friend who has a daughter that was born there.

Happy Thursday!
