The days are slipping away quite quickly and before we know it Christmas will be upon us. If you are like me decorating the house for the Holidays is a chore and sometimes it ends up being Christmas Eve before there is a tree up, and that's only if we are going to be staying in town. If my son and I will be away, like this year, I can promise you that there will be no tree up in my home, or decorations. I actually hate taking them down so much that I have been known to leave them up for far too long, and well, before I get called out by my friends, the tree was left up for 16 months, once upon a time. This is how much I truly hate putting up and taking down decorations. However, the hassle is far less on SL and I have been a decorating fool!!! But who wouldn't be with all the goodies from current events on the grid?! If you haven't heard, the 2015 Holiday Expo, A Frozen Christmas, a Relay for Life production opened yesterday with 4 sims to wander through and literally 100's of goodies to get your hands on, all for a wonderful cause! Park Place has three releases for the event, with two of them featured below.
The French Walnut Study collection comes with the Bookcase with Accessories, Desk, Chair, Rug, Desk Lamp, set of two Table Books, and a set of Desk Reference Books and are only available as part of the Silent Auction for the event, so make sure to check out the website and the boards at the location to get all the information. The fantastically over sized Wood and Linen Ottoman comes in two versions, one with couples and single poses and the other with just single poses, making it perfect for any abode. The Ottomans are Park Place's exclusive design for the 2015 SL Holiday Expo with all or part of the proceeds going to benefit Relay for Life, so take the tele below and go pick up yours today, and make sure to check out all the other amazing offerings around the sims from some of your favorite designers!
It is one of those months where half of my luck is good and the other half is well, bordering on somewhere between crappy and abysmal. Which I guess is kind of par for the course as of late. As I was browsing through a favorite page on facebook today I found this little meme that made me laugh much louder than I probably should have, " My credit report said,"return everything you just bought, except the hooker heels...you're going to need those." If you are like me, then this rings true at some point in your life. Lucky for all of you NoName has FABULOUS new shoes as a group gift for you to pick up, and check out this amazing new jacket and tank combo for SLF&O group, which means you won't have to be hanging on the street corner contemplating a new lifestyle anytime soon!
As always you can count on a fantastic HUD with lots of options for the shoes and the jacket/tank combo meaning you can mix and match them with your favorite jeans or skirts, or in my case the ripped jeans also from NoName. Do yourself a favor and head on over and check out all the wonderful goodies available at the store. Psst...it's that time again at Glint for The Mega Hunt meaning there are 40... yes F O U R T Y different gifts to pick up in the store for 5L each. There are 14 female gifts, 14 male gifts and 12 unisex gifts hidden through the store all marked by different colored beach balls, so check the board at the front of the store and get your hunt on!
Over the last year being involved with We Love to Blog I have fallen in love with Pulcino's nail designs and their newest release is no exception so head on over to the Sequin Event before it closes its doors on the 15th for this gorgeous set named Cognition, which isn't the only offering there so check out all the new releases for the event.

Now that I have looked over my finances and realized how much of a hole I have ended up in with my income being $300 short this month I think it's time for a stiff drink, oh look the whiskey is right here! Cheers and I hope you enjoy the rest of your night and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's trends in fashion and home decor work for you!
As I was putting these pictures together today, a song started dancing it's way through my brain. At first it was just the melody, and then it came together and one line kept repeating itself over and over again. I realized as I put the last touches on the photos that it was actually a perfect title and mood to go along with my post for the day. I might be in a bit of a romantic mood today after having a delightful evening with a gentleman friend, and I thought I would share it with all of you.
Baby will you be there
When the mornin' comes
Just give me time
To fix my life, baby
Baby will you be there
When I open my eyes
After all the time I've spent
Wishing you
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss
PM Dawn
As you can tell, I had quite a bit of fun at The Arcade this round, and I have no complaints because I actually got everything I went there for without having to break the bank to do it. Which, I know is probably a surprise for most of you out there who have ventured to the event this time. I had been decorating this scene when I took a break and opened up my newest goodies from AnaMarkova Designs and suddenly it went from just a scene to an entire post with a very calm, casual, lazy, romantic, "days of Summer feel", at least for me. The Chandra dress and shoes are new releases in the store but if you hurry, you can pick up this and one other along with the shoes at On9, and make sure to check the tags as there is a discounted item hiding amongst the pieces, which is true for all participants at On9. I love the breezy, yet sensual styling of this dress and the bold color combinations are perfect for this Summer, so do yourself a favor and head by On9 and the store to check out the fabulous new releases.
The current round of Uber has my little boho heart all kinds of happy. I know that isn't the theme, but the henna tattoos and India inspired designs speak to my inner soul and truly make me happy. I just HAD to show you a few of the things I picked up this round since they complimented and accented this dress in the best possible way for me.
The Ishya hair from Truth is truly stunning with its long braid, and add-on bangs. It also comes with a headpiece that sits exactly where it should in the part of the hair, but I chose to accent it with the jewelry collection from Maxi Gossamer, also available at this round of Uber. The jewelry consists of a head piece, nose ring, earrings and a necklace that are all color change upon touch. And to finish the look today I picked up this amazing tattoo from Reckless while I was at Uber. The henna styling is wonderfully feminine and the tattoo is very well detailed offering you all the latest in appliers as well as Faded and Fresh looks, so head on over to Uber and pick up your favorites today.
