The beauty of India.

India 009

I slept a good eight hours last night even if it was not very peaceful as evident by the massive headache I woke up to. I’m extremely tired today and it’s just morning.

I was playing with the idea of putting down a home again and started by placing out a couple that I got from the arcade this round.  The homes are always lovely, but always tend to run too small for me personally as I find myself not able to maneuver around in them as easily. I know most can be edited and made larger though it means that the prim count will go up exceptionally higher.

This house called the Jodhpur was inspired by the crafts and culture of the Indian state of Rajasthan according to the creator’s remarks.  Jodhpur being the second largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan.  The house and all the decor pieces are very detailed, and textures well done and you can’t help and enjoy the display of colors.

I didn’t settle on keeping this out, though I did enjoy decorating a room to snap a picture in this outfit I’m wearing.

Real duty calls, so everyone enjoy your Tuesday!

There’s a story in her eyes.

Fallen Angel

“Study me as much as you like, you will never know me.  For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself.  Because I have chosen to dwell in a place you can’t see.” ~Rumi

Remarkable Oblivion really did a fantastic job with these wings and I was tempted to get them all. Though a girl can only have so many wings in her closet.  I am definitely not vying to be more of an angel. Just something fun that I played with and just showing the cut off version that shows the face much closer as opposed to more legs.

Have a great Sunday!

I’m feeling a bit out of sorts tonight and managed to distract myself by doing a little inventory cleaning and then working on this picture of some of the items that I found at “The Gathering,” a gacha event that only runs for two weeks.  It started on the 1st of the month and you have until the 15th if you’re up for the gacha craze.

Good & Evil

0196

The dichotomy of good and evil has always been an interesting subject and I can safely say it dates as far back to the age of the bible.  I don’t plan to talk about morals or religion as that is a personal thing that I try never to debate unless it’s with people who will accept your difference of thoughts, beliefs and opinions and can still smile at you after the conversation.  I will say this.  Personally, I think the relevance lies in the seed of both good and evil that exists inside each of us.  It’s definitely a balancing act when it comes to choosing which one will win.

It’s only mid morning and its dark and raining here — so this picture feels perfect for the overcast day we’re having.

Diamonds truly are a girl’s best friend.

021

Today I am showcasing a couple of things. The first item is this gorgeous diamond and crystal necklace and earrings set from **Feel** that will be available at the Jewelry Fair that opens up on September 13 and runs through September 28. The set is texture change giving you the option of a silver or gold metal and having bright on or off.  Considering that my birth stone is a diamond I definitely agree with diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

019

Next I am wearing this lovely new satin dress that my friend Eve, owner of Evelock, just released. This is her first line of clothing and I can’t wait to see what else she brings to the world of SecondLife fashion. The Bach dress comes with a color HUD that gives you up to nine color choices, four of which have this swirls design that gives it just the perfect elegance. If you want classy, but satin isn’t your thing there are two other sets available. The boho celtic design and the boho naturals and both also come with several choices of colors all available by HUD.  I love that system of being able to change the color of my dress without having to go through the hassle of taking one off and putting on another of a different color.

Truly a nice ensemble that makes you feel like a million bucks.

Just a tad bit early…

welcome autumn

I know we still have just under a month before the Autumn season is officially here.  For many this means the falling and changing of the leaves to the vibrant colors of red, yellow and orange.  I live in the part of Florida where the landscape stays green all year round.

Fall

The Fall for us Floridians down south of Orlando just means the oppressive heat of the summer months is a bit more pleasant as the temperatures aren’t as hot and humid.  It also means you won’t break out in a sweat the moment you walk out the door.

So here I am welcoming the Fall season a bit early.   By the way the use of Fall is used interchangeably with Autumn for us folks here in the United States.

Hauling the loot home…

“Sometimes I pretend to be normal, but it gets boring so I go back to being a pirate.”

016x2

There were a few pirate outfits you could piece together with this round of the Fantasy Gacha Carnival from a couple or more creators.  Due to the vendor not rezzing for one of those creators I ended up getting to this vendor and grabbing this pirate costume from !gO!.  I absolutely love it and enjoyed putting it all together.  I was not aiming for any particular color and was lucky enough that I didn’t have to play more than two extra times to get the complete set in one color.  I could live with that.

018

Now time to haul my treasure home.   Yep, we don’t mess around here.  We mean business and take it all. 🙂

K & L is for… (challenge)

Snapshot_007

I am playing catch up today with the alphabet challenge doing both the letters K & L combined.  For the first letter I decided to feature this green meadow yellow poppy grass from KIDD, one of my favorite places for landscaping stuff.   Then featuring these tall and mature oak trees from Lilith Heart, another favorite place for landscaping items.

Snapshot_002

These horses are a purchase from today’s 30 L Saturday, they are a static herd of four horses at 8 prims.  They are no copy, but for 30L a steal in my opinion.  I couldn’t resist buying a few in the event I ever decided to get a ranch in-world again.

For my L letter I decided to feature poses from two stores, Label Motion and Lib Descent Poses and also these blue jeans from Lapointe & Bastchild.   I could also count my letter as “landscaping”.  🙂
