Do you remember when Christmas was filled with toys that sometimes required batteries, the bigger the stuffed animal the better, parents stayed up hours to put together bicycles, and hours spent sitting around the tree with the family? No one thinking of working on Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day and the biggest stressor was often the drunk Aunt passed out on the sofa after sneaking a bit too much Rum in her Eggnog. Now, everyone under 25 is glued to a phone/laptop/tablet and the gifts always have something to do with video games or computers which makes them small, and the invention of gift cards, though convenient they taken much of the fun out of opening gifts, in my opinion. As we continue to grow more and more attached to our technological devices the more distant we grow from each other, it seems. When our family gets together there is a basket for all the devices to be tossed in during "family" events, like dinner, movies or like later this week, Christmas. Everything has become automatic, convenient, and easy yet the times before that seem easier and I truly long for them. Even my family, who cherishes our time together has gone to checks the month before so we can buy what we want and part of me really hates that system. I long to be surprised on Christmas morning again with a gift I never would have thought to buy for myself and I wish for a time when tons of presents are stacked under the tree, or at least a couple special ones. In the end, I guess I wish for a simpler time when everything wasn't automatic.
Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your evening and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's trends in fashion and decor work for you!
Happy Tuesday everyone! Sorry I didn't check in yesterday, but my relaxing weekend away apparently wiped me out and I literally slept all day! So here I am all bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning ready to show off this wonderful ensemble I put together featuring all kinds of goodies only available at this round of Sneak Peek! The event only runs until the 5th, so put on your shopping shoes and head on over before it's too late!!! I know from time to time my pictures can be a bit muted and it isn't often I get to express myself as creatively in my fashion blogs as I do in my home, or furniture blogs. Today is different and I am pleasantly surprised and quite happy! This round of Sneak Peek has lots of wonderful items for your to peruse that will surely turn your head towards Autumn, at least in the Northern Hemisphere! LaVian & Co. has once again brought us more than one fabulous new release and one of the rompers comes in two different pattern/color choices, so I am sure you will find your favorite among the group!
I absolutely love this color combination and I was very excited to discover that the "violet" theme was running throughout the designers so I could put together an entire ensemble that you can go and grab at Sneak Peek! The romper from Lavian fits wonderfully with my Maitreya body after just a few clicks, which is always a plus and there are so many colors to choose from that I know everyone will find EXACTLY what they were looking for! Loovus has 2 exclusives for the event, the Kulinda Sunglasses and Mahats heels in matching colors and different metal selections making them a MUST have this late Summer! I absolutely love the big, chunky, yet well designed pieces from Glint for this round as well and they also come in a variety of colors to mix and match with the other items you grab while at the event. And if you are looking for a purse to go with the gold in your wardrobe then make sure to check out Petit Chat's exclusive purse for this round of Sneak Peek as well.
As I have always said, the definition of sexy is all about class, not trash and more about what you don't see than what you do. Today I bring you really a "Jade LOTD" featuring new releases from Insanya for the Biker's Choice Fair, AlaskaMetro for The Skin Fair, and Tchelo's. Tchelo's released these fantastic cardigans for Fashionart recently but they are now in the main store, so hurry on over and grab yours today! I love the fit on this mesh, since it is open enough to allow for those of us a little more well endowed than others, and yet also shows the silhouette of the body. And if you have been looking for an underbust corset for your newest mesh body, then make sure to check out Insanya's newest release at Biker's Choice Fair where you are sure to find your favorite color. The pasties come in rigged for Slink bodies and unrigged for the rest of us, ensuring a perfect fit every time. The corset also comes with a HUD to show or hide the rings along the bottom, I chose to hide them today for this outfit, but I love that you have the choice. Also, when checking out the event check out the hidden gift hair from Catwa, called "Zoey." You will not be disappointed.
AlaskaMetro has come out with several skin releases for The Skin Fair along with a few eyeshadow and lip collections. Today I am featuring the "Ivory" skin with examples of the gloss and one of the eyeshadows. The detailing on the skins is fantastic and the brow options also come with hairbases and "Lady Parts" in Blonds, Gingers and Blacks, meaning you will find a perfect match for your hairs. The skins come in a variety of shades as well from light to dark with all of the latest appliers as well so hurry on over to The Skin Fair to get yours today. I hope you have enjoyed my LOTD and happy shopping!
Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your evening and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you!
I'm addicted to you, hooked on your love Like a powerful drug I can't get enough of Lost in your eyes, drowning in blue Out of control, what can I do? I'm addicted to you!

I hope everyone has had a wonderfully wicked weekend and are relaxing
before the week starts. Not many more days left in this month which
means there isn't much more time to head on over to My Vogue Valentine's and get your hands on some of the newest and hottest creations on the grid. LaVian & Co. has several releases for this round including this fantastic tuxedo style jacket with leggings. The "Bring it All Back" ensemble
comes with a HUD with a multitude of color options. The black satin
leggins are a perfect addition and let it be noted the jacket can be
worn alone as well creating a very sexy and dramatic look as well as the
more classic. Every outfit is well thought out and many of the pieces
can be combined to create even more looks than even LaVian presents! And if you are looking for a new fabulous hair then head on over to Catwa and grab "Rosy", you will not be disappointed!
"Rosy" is a new fitted mesh hair that also works with avatar physics so it moves as you walk and stand. The hair comes in 2 versions so that you don't always have to wear "bounce" version. Make sure to check out all the other new releases at Catwa and remember that the Fitted Mesh hairs mean they are unisex as well! Stay tuned for more fitted mesh releases with the added perk of the sexy bounce!
Have a wonderfully wicked rest of the day and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you!
