Life happens while you are making plans - Featuring Ashmoot

In the last twenty four hours our entire lives have changed as the youngest, who graduated in June, decided to leave home all of the sudden and move down to Phoenix. Most parents have a bit of notice and some time to get used to the idea of their children going to college or moving out and we are still reeling from the news while he has woken up in a new home this morning with the whole world before him. He has some health issues, so his father and I are biting our nails hoping he is mature enough to handle all the things he has to, and to take care of himself. Which I know is the worry of all parents, but when you add in needed medications, it becomes a greater stressor. But in the end this is his chance to prove something to himself, not just to us. So while we were making plans for the future of the family, life happened and now we have to regroup and see how things go before we continue with our plans. Though I am a bit fearful, at the same time I am SO excited for him! To be out in the world for the first time at 18 is a challenging and yet amazing time, especially when you are living with a friend and finding your way for the very first time. For Christmas this year the greatest gift we could get is a happy, healthy, well adjusted young man out on his own, living his dream!

For the first time I think in forever, the above part of my post has nothing to do with the photo, which just shows I write off the top of my head! This outfit has me feeling fierce, fabulous, and yes, a bit like revenge, though I'm not sure why! I have been looking for a reason to use this chair from SEUL for months now, and today was the day! I love the poses and since it came from a gacha, there are lots of colors to pick up, so go check it out, but before you do, you must stop by Ashmoot and grab this sexy, stunning, fun new ensemble! From the top of your head to the tip of your toes you will be decked out in perfect crocheted pieces and layers in stunning fabrics! The ensemble is complete with appliers for mesh bodies, which includes a gorgeous crochet bikini under the pieces seen in this post. Since I wanted to use the chair I draped the fur vest over the chair, and tossed my purse on the floor, settling in to relax for a few minutes after the emotional roller coaster the last twenty four hours has been. Ugh, I can't even describe how fantastic this outfit is, so go pick it up for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!

Don't you remember?

With the tragedies of yesterday around the world I had a bit of a heavy heart last night as I put together this ensemble and I was surprised at how empty the grid was for a Saturday night.  Which of course worked well in my favor as I got to wander around to take pics at Templemore!  I absolutely love this sim, always have, and from time to time I get to wander around and discover new secret spots to snap a great photo.  As I said, my heart was a bit heavy with personal things and with the state of the world the last couple of days so I let the memories in for a little while.

Don't You Remember

Adele

When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye,
Not a single word was said,
No final kiss to seal any sins,
I had no idea of the state we were in,
I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head,
But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,
When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I went wrong,
The more I do, the less I know.

 

If you have been looking for the perfect little black dress for the upcoming Holiday season or for a special Friday or Saturday night then head on over to this months FAD event and pick up this dress up from AnaMarkova Designs.  The Yuri dress is available in more than just black but I have to say everyone could replace your current date night dress!  The dress comes in standard sizes and those made for most Mesh bodies, so  you are sure to find a perfect fit!  The mesh on this dress is as amazing from the back as it is from the front with an elegantly criss-cross back, and required very little shape alteration.  Reason I say shape changes is because alphas obviously could be a bit tricky with this dress and with just a few adjustments it fit wonderfully even as I moved around the grid.  You have a little over a week until the FAD event ends so make sure to work in some shopping time before the crazy Thanksgiving Week, if you are here in the U.S., if not then what are you waiting for?!  Hurry on over!!

Happy November!

Not sure about the rest of you but I am so glad Halloween has come and gone and that I can finally begin to focus on the upcoming holidays.  It's like Halloween marks that point you pack up the Summer apparel and pull the sweater boxes out from under the bed and start to dig through the closets to find your boots.  I think it is an unconscious attempt to hold onto Summer a bit longer before giving into the shorter days and surrendering to the long cold Winter.  I find it a tad peculiar that I seem to love colors in the bleak, cold days of Winter in the mountains and I happen to wear a lot less black than normal, which shocks most people since as far as I am concerned black is a full wardrobe.  But the jeweled tones of the holidays are my favorites and you can always count on me to brighten up whatever occasion I have happened out too, and TASHI has captured this perfectly with the new Chelsy release for the round of FAD which ends SOON, so make sure you head on over and pick up wonderful designs with the month of November and the deep Fall in mind!

The sweater and skirt come in a variety of colors and patterns to mix and match all for a very affordable price for the duration of the event and make sure you check out the matching nail polishes as well that come for all  your favorite mesh bodies.  I absolutely LOVE the fit of this ensemble and the Maitreya size fits wonderfully with very few alphas activated.  If you have been procrastinating on heading over to this round of FAD then hopefully I have given you the proper impetus and you are already looking for your tele to the event in the credits!!
