The peaceful tranquility of Dawn

If you like to sleep late then you probably miss out on one of the most spectacular times of day in my opinion, especially in the Fall.  The frost hangs heavy on what remains of the leaves on the trees and as the Sun edges over the horizon steam rises as the beams instantly bring life to the still surroundings.  The snow has melted down here in town, but the mountains continue to be blanketed in white.  This morning as the Sun danced with its rainbow of colors I had a perfect moment of peace as I stood with my cup of coffee and let the rays warm me as they did my surroundings.  Do yourself a favor and get up early sometime, before the bitter chill of Winter sets in and enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the Dawn.

If you haven't made it to Sad November yet you don't have much time, literally only a few hours before the doors will close and the vendors will be taken down which means you will miss out on these amazing lipsticks from Alaskametro!  The Angel set comes for your favorite mesh heads as well as Standard Layers as I am wearing here.  After today check the MP as Alaskametro is only available on the MP or at events!  

On9 closes in one week which means you don't have much time to head on over and pick up this GORGEOUS new ensemble from AnaMarkova Designs.  Kendra comes in a variety of colors perfect for the Fall with boots to match!  I am wearing the Chocolate version which I just adore, but it also comes in Mustard and Onyx.  I just had to take some pics in this wonderful new Gazebo from unKindness only available at Tres Chic, which is open until December, but these Gazebos go with Garden Pathways at the LTD Event so hurry and match them up!  The 4 pack of Gazebos can be used by themselves for a unique decorating touch or with the pathways for a more detailed and enchanting design!  I am off to a Doc appointment this morning so forgive me for well posting and running, but it is going to be one of those days!

Not sitting around waiting for my life to begin, just waiting for my ship to come in

Ever have those people in your life who are always waiting for something to happen to them?  Whether it be good or bad?  They just stay stagnate where they are waiting....  One thing I have learned in this life is that if you keep waiting for your life to happen it will pass you by.  I have never been one to just sit around and wait, you never get anywhere that way!  I have spent my entire life learning and if I could afford it, I would have been one of those people who stayed in college for life just so I could learn about everything that intrigues me.  In some ways, I think this leads to a single life because that love of spontaneity and need for change leaves others a bit baffled in their stagnate, predictable lives.  Many years ago I had the opportunity to marry a man who would have me kept very well for the rest of my life.  When I looked at him I saw my entire future and I didn't like how predictable that would be and I wanted my life to be an adventure.  I have no regrets about not being whisked off to California back in 1990 because my life has been anything except predictable.  The good and the bad all has made me who I am and I am proud of the woman I am these days.  It wasn't that long ago when I stumbled and lost my faith in myself, but it didn't last long and off to a new adventure I ran looking for my life, not sitting and waiting for it to happen.  People ask me why I keep to myself so often and I truly know that in solace one finds themselves.  The last two years have taught me that and now that I have found myself again I am ready to take this life by the horns again, I am an Aries after all!  So if you find yourself stuck in a rut, do something completely out of character and stop waiting for your life to happen!  Get on it y'all!!!!

Summer Chic @ Sneak Peek

Ever have one of those moments where as you are getting dressed or just sitting around a song starts tumbling through your head?  I have them often, and I am also one of those people who can manage to work a song, or at least lyrics into almost any conversation.  As I was putting together this ensemble today I had one of those moments and everything came together, from the entire feel of the outfit to the location and of course, the song.  

...

She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away
Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game
I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too
Don't care where, just want to spend some time with you
A little time with you

Just a blue-eyed boy and a green-eyed girl
And the brightest moon in the whole damn year
And, oh!, I wake up to find this daydream
Her eyes make diamonds look like loose change
The kind that make a man
Lose track of what he's saying, like,
Oooooooh

She said, make me a bird, I'll fly away
Beyond the comforts of the sick, sick game
I said, make me a bird, and I'll fly too
Don't care where, just me and you

Elektrik People - Make Me a Bird

Sneak Peek opened on Monday with all kinds of new and exclusive designs from some of the grids hottest creators on the grid.  The venue for the event has changed and grown, meaning there are even more amazing pieces to get your hands on, including this fabulous dress from KL Couture.  The "Amelie" dress comes in sizes for SL Classic and Mesh Avatars meaning you are sure to find a perfect fit.  The dress is very well made including the exquisite lace detailing along the bodice and flirty skit.  The necklace is also available at Sneak Peek from Kunglers Extra and goes very well with the dress.  My poses today are exclusive to the event from KaTink and HelaMiyo so make sure to visit the event to see the rest as well as the rest of the collection at this round of Sneak Peek! 

Ok, let's face it, I am a Shoe-aholic.  There, I have said it!  And luckily for me, there happens to be a way I can feed this addiction without having to break the bank.  I am addicted to the Lazy Sundays sale event which usually happens to feature E.C.R.U..  If you haven't heard of the store then you are truly missing out on creative, and unique shoe designs in fabulous color packs at truly amazing prices, even when not on sale!  I am absolutely in LOVE with this pair and just had to share them with you all!  When I laid eyes on these stilettos with the Scorpion detail I might have squealed out loud here in my office and immediately picked up both texture packs so I can wear them with ANYTHING!  So don't be surprised if you see me out and about on the grid in these stunning heels!  Oh, I might have given the lil guys nicknames as well.  Do yourself a favor and go fall in love with E.C.R.U. like I have!

Little Black Dress with a Twist

I am an avid fan of the classic looks of the golden age of Hollywood especially when revisited with a few modern touches here and there.  For well over fifty years now, every woman has been searching for the perfect "little black dress," and often we toss our hands up in the air and settle for the one in the back of the closet we picked up years ago.  Maybe the definition of the "little black dress" is what needs to change to give us all a bit more latitude when shopping.  Kaithleen's newest release for The Black Fashion Fair may be just what you are looking for to solve the black dress dilemma for this Spring and Summer.  The "Geometry" dress comes in two different versions and is an exclusive to the event so hurry on over before it's too late!  The classic 60's style sheath dress fits perfectly and moved well when I was out and about on the grid last night.  I felt a bit like Goldie Hawn or Twiggy as I chewed on the end of my long cigarette staring out into the night sky, and I have to say I LOVED it!  Suddenly I was transported to my artsy loft in Soho in the 60's and I could swear I spotted Andy Warhol over in the corner.

This ensemble begged for the perfect hair with a classic feel and lucky for us all Virtual Diva released the "Charm" hair this week!  This vintage bob with a bit of a modern flair fits fantastically and is available in a wide variety of colors making it a MUST have addition to your hair collection this Spring!   I hope you too find your answer to the "little black dress" dilemma at The Black Fashion Fair with Kaithleen's!

Feeling Fierce

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone!  Wanted to make sure I got your day off to a great start by bringing you this fabulous ensemble from my newest sponsor, Ana Markova!

The Chantelle collection of tops and leggings are modernistic with clean lines and wonderful fabrics and textures that are a must have for the visionary fashionista!  I loved the white on white on silver combination and just had to show it off today!  The top does not have an alpha, but do not let this discourage you in the slightest, as a perfect fit is achieved by simply adding some gravity on those breasts.  Which of course, they aren't supposed to be sitting sky high naturally anyway!  The Chantelle collection is available in a variety of colors to mix and match until your heart's content and make sure to check out the Miranda shoes as well.  I just love the elegant, yet sexy and sophisticated line of this shoe and it comes in a wide variety of colors making them a perfect addition to any wardrobe.

Cozy Chic

Can you feel the excitement in the air as we draw closer to Christmas and the end of the year?  I love the feelings and emotions of this time of year so very much.  Spending the hours catching up with old friends and family; meals together; the sparkle of candles and lights reflecting everywhere make it the perfect time of year for me.  Not to mention, the Bohemian in me, loves all the patterns, and fabric combinations that abound this time of year!  Today, I bring you teasers from all kinds of events and wonderful new releases!

Preptopia has a bunch of new releases in store and I just had to show off a couple of them!  This fantastic belted fur vest comes in 4 different fur textures, and several options for the belt via HUD.  The fit is perfect and the mesh doesn't break when you move.  Since I was going to be outside, I tossed on the upper part of a bodysuit so I wasn't TOO cold!  Matched the vest up with Preptopia's new Skinny Jeans in Indigo as well.  Which, the jeans are mesh and fit perfectly, even under the vest of the same size.  I didn't have to go up a size in the vest over the jeans which is always a plus!
