Caught bewitched, bothered and bewildered

Woke this morning to a chill in the air that truly felt a lot more like Winter than Fall, but up here in the mountains of Arizona, that happens this time of year.  The days reach into the 70's with the suns rays beating down at this high altitude to the low 40's or high 30's as the heat escapes during our clear nights.  Wake up in a sweater and by lunch you are peeling out of your layers to bask in the sun, and I wonder why I get sick in September and October of every year.  The cooler weather however is easier on my body and so I woke with a bit of energy today which meant it was time to get some work done!  Lone Wolf Studios has two new releases in the mainstore and there are also two other brand new gorgeous sets perfect for all your RP needs that will be featured in two hunts next month, so make sure you stay tuned!  I started this post specifically to do the eyes, but when I put them on, I was struck by the stunning blue and very mystical feel of the Electris eyes and decided to match them up with this adorable new ensemble from Flippant.

Flippant did an outstanding job on this ensemble from the texturing to the attention to details that brings the entire ensemble together.  The shoes have a wonderful retro feel to them, as does the boho styled tunic with intricate lace and lacing along the sides, collar and sleeves and you can find the leggings in all your favorite mesh body appliers as well as standard layers.  I already moved this into the "Jade" folder so next time you see me out and about don't be surprised if this is what I happen to have on!  As the light reflected off the windows in my home I realized I was feeling a bit bewitched lately, as you can tell from my posts and the eyes added to my very magical mood and of course, a tune started tumbling it's way through my head.  "Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I," fits my mood and I hope you feel the same way!  Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashion trends work for you!

Still trying to find her wings

Like the rest of you who live in the U.S., fourteen years ago tonight we all went to sleep with a false sense of security that we were untouchable.  When the smoke cleared that morning in New York, the towers were gone and the wings of America's majestic Eagle had been stripped as we stood vulnerable and for the first time equal to the rest of the world.  Since that day, it could be said that we are still searching for our wings, still trying to regain our grace.  That day marked the start of a paradigm shift in my life as on November 9th of that same year I lost my son's father and the love of my life.  It could be said that within a few months everything I knew and believed in was challenged and that I too lost my wings and have been searching for them since.  Maybe it is the date, or the fact this ensemble from Jinx made me think of Malificent when her wings were stripped; or perhaps the haunting eyes from Lone Wolf Studios that pay tribute to the fallen towers, but I have stumbled into a bit of a melancholy mood tonight as I think about how many lost their wings that day and how many gained them.  Maybe, that is the answer....  For all those to get into heaven that day, thousands had to lose their way, their "wings" if you will, and that finding your way back is the key...  For now, I think I might hear a fluttering in the distance and I am hoping I can reunite someone with their wings tonight.  After all, isn't it the perfect night for that?

Angels watch over you
