There’s no other like you

Today has really been a lazy Sunday and I’ve not done much of anything except bake brownies, blog, text with a friend and I took an hour nap.

Anyways, hope your day has been just as easy. With this post I am showcasing items from the new round of On9, that just began a few days ago on the 9th and ends on the 28th. The Moonsoul swimsuit by [Aleutia] is the bikini top and bottom that comes with a HUD that has 30 color options for main and strap parts.

The Scarlet tattoo by Nanika comes in a black, white and henna version and it’s also at On9. The shoes are by Empire and is available at Chapter Four.  As always with all Empire shoes, it also comes with HUD with many color options.

My decor is a combination, but the main pieces are by unKindness in collaboration with Ariskea. The solace set is available at this round of Collabor88 and is made up of the door nook, the seating, table and plant. The fruit dolls decor is gacha items by Les Sucreries de Fairy and at On9. The tulips are also gacha items by Bee Designs also at On9 and the last item is the cake by Ionic, that is part of the Spirit gacha set that I showed a day or so ago.

Have a great one!

Those little side trips

0352ps

Happy weekend everyone.  It’s been a busy day for me and I’m really too tired for words — so I’m going to keep this short.  If you haven’t made it over to Tres Chic you’re missing out on some great stuff.  I’m wearing a casual sweater and jeans by Entice that are so comfy for the weekend or those last minute grocery runs when you have no food in the house.

I’m also wearing a new hairstyle by Iconic called Nicolette.  I was real fortunate to be selected as a blogger and look forward to showing you more great hairstyles in the near future. The hair is rigged mesh and materials enabled and comes in a variety of color tones. You can find it now at Hairology, which runs until January 30th. I’m also wearing some lipstick by Zibska, which is called Nerissa and available at this round of The Secret Affair.

You were larger than life

010ps-w-sign

My father was one of those individuals that was larger than life, but he was just a man with a passion for life, his music and family. Today is his birthday and I miss him a lot.  I wasn’t sure that I would get around to doing a blog post today, but I’ve done one the last two years in tribute to my father and so I could not go without doing it.

The items that I used for my picture are all from this round of On9, minus the hair and the basics that I wear most days. Everything is listed in credits and instead of creating my own scene I visted Winter Trace, which reminded me of one of our last family trips to the Smoky Mountains during Christmas one year.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Hello.. it’s me she said

_025

My 83 year old grandmother has come for a 2-week visit and she’s got more energy than I do sometimes.  I had just enough time to get my picture posted on Flickr earlier in the day, but no time to get the post done as she asked me to take her into town after we had already had a busy morning.

Now several hours later and now early evening I can finally sit for a  moment to write the credits and get it posted.  One of the items that I am featuring are these gorgeous boots by N-Core.  They are made to fit the Maitreya, Belleza, Slink and TMP and currently available at FaMESHed.

The other item that I’m showcasing is the pose by K&S Poses.  I’ve used this pose before on another picture (Happy Halloween post)  at a slightly different angle and on a sofa chair. Just goes to show you how great these poses are for different looks.

La mirada (the look).

Purple Girl 005

It’s a given that everything that I purchase in Second Life is for my own entertainment regardless whether I blog, wear or even use it for that matter.  I try not to be too spoiled in my purchase endeavors, though without shame admit that I can fall prey to buying things without a second thought to the price if I want it.  I definitely don’t need it.  I confess to inwardly cringing when I see comments on blogs or Flickr about needing this or that even if I know they probably meant it as a want instead.

I didn’t need this lovely purple dress or this shiny hair edition.  Nonetheless, every now and then I will splurge on things that go beyond my usual purchases of stuff that I will use more than once if not more regularly. These items were just fifty lindens for this weeks round of 50L Friday, so I’m even conscious of not overspending too… written with a smug look.

Sorry no credits this post as I am not in-world and the cost for these items were for Friday only.  Though many creators leave it out all weekend, so check out the gallery at Seraphim and you’ll see what I’m wearing.

HARPing.

SL Bare Face Challenge.

“Every girl wants a guy who she can run up to with her hair a mess, no makeup and the first thing he says is ‘you’re beautiful’.”

There is a challenge going around in the SL Flickr to share a photo of yourself without makeup, no eye lashes or any type of enhancement and absolutely no Photoshop of your picture.  I was in the mood to take a picture and decided to give it a try.   This is me in all my pixel naturalness.

Dragon flies.

Just showing some more great finds at the Mystic Realms Faire.  The Jewelry pieces are all from Bliensen & MaiTai, and it’s a beautiful set of dragon flies, exquisite details.   The dress is another good bargain from Sakide and the scene is from Kalospia, all can be found at the faire.  Happy shopping.

Splash of Sunshine

Splash of Fall
The Jewelry Fair opens today and I am showing you another couple of great items that will be available.  This metallic mixed gold necklace and these studded shades in silver are fair exclusives from **Cila**.   Normally I create my own scenes for blog pictures, except I didn’t have a scene in mind for what I ended up wearing.  I’m also really out of touch with locations in Second Life.

Recently, we moved our residence to a new region and the new land sat vacant for more than a few days until Draco ordered challenged me to decorate the land and house in two days.  I’m proud to say it only took me a few hours in one day to do the order.  Coughs.   I can’t complain considering that he did the landscaping and also decorated the majority of our last residence and the land was much bigger.  He left me the kitchen.  You think that’s a sign there?

Since it’s nearing the fall season I thought that decorating with that in mind would be sort of fitting. The color scheme was the perfect color combination for what I was wearing, so you get a glimpse of our new home.
