Prayers of Peace for Christmas

With all the turmoil going on in the world as of late a prayer I heard many, many years ago keeps finding it's way into my brain.  With it being Christmas I couldn't think of a better time to share it.  As most people know I am an incredibly spiritual person but I find dogma to be the biggest issue for anyone with religion.  So I offer this up with no particular God or faith in mind, just a prayer I put out there in hopes of peace around the world.

O Angels of God, from heaven so bright,

watching beside my children to lead them aright;

Fold your wings round them, 

and guard them with love; 

Softly sing songs to them of heaven above.

Amen

The final day for the Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase and the SL 2015 Christmas Expo

Complete Christmas Living Room - Kaerri @ Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase

I hope that everyone has headed by SL 2015 Christmas Expo and the Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase  to give a little back this holiday season, but just in case you haven't had the time then make sure you do it SOON, the events both end TODAY!  I waited til a little after midnight for me to do this post (though now it's almost 1 a.m. lol) so I could remind everyone that it is the 14th, which means that you will no longer be able to see the amazing art featured at the Windlight Winter Art Show and have a chance to donate directly or through purchases from the showcase to Team Diabetes of SL; or all of the fantastic creations featured at the SL 2015 Christmas Expo.

This elegant, and tasteful Christmas themed living room comes from the mind of Kaerri and is only available at the Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase.  The build by unKindness is the only thing not by Kaerri in these pictures, meaning you don't have to worry about where anything goes, or if your Christmas pieces go together.  You are guaranteed a perfect Christmas celebration with your friends and family in this magnificent set so HURRY before it's too late!

Cocktails anyone?

 Of course, if you haven't had time to do any shopping at these events yet, that means you haven't picked up your Holiday party dress either, Entice makes it simple to answer that dilemma with this gorgeous new release for the SL 2015 Christmas Expo.  Entice has several releases for the event but this dress called "Don't", which kind of made me giggle in a bit of an evil way, combined with the "Extraordinary Heels" also an Entice design, makes quite a striking ensemble, exactly what you are looking for if you are wanting to make a statement this December!

Don't - Entice @ SL 2015 Christmas Expo

There are so many wonderful goodies at the Christmas Expo that I just couldn't decide what all to show off to you in the last two weeks, but I wanted to share with you my favorite pieces as the events close, so you can go get your hands on your own today!  

Epiphany - Tantulum @ SL 2015 Christmas Expo

This necklace and ring set are just stunning, and I absolutely love this creation from Tantalum, an exclusive for the Christmas Expo and you don't need a better reason to go grab yours when a portion or all of the proceeds of the sale go to Relay for Life.  These adorable nails from ZOZ can only be found at the event as well and they come in a wide variety of colors meaning you will find the perfect match to your holiday ensembles.  I know I won't be taking off these two accessories for awhile which means you need a set of each in your inventory today!  Remember, both the events end TODAY so HURRY up!  What are you waiting for?!  Why are you still reading?!  GO!  SHEESH!

Topazia - Peace on Earth

I am so excited to say I have been accepted into We Love to Blog and this is my first post!  Going through and grabbing all my new goodies I happened upon this gown from Topazia for The Peace on Earth Hunt, called "Miss Dove."  The corset and panties can be worn alone, or with the attachments, and the hat is just perfect.  The corset fits quite well and didn't break as I posed.  Which of course is always a plus!  The doves are also part of the outfit making it an absolutely wonderful ensemble for taking photos in your favorite Winter spot.

I also had the pleasure of unpacking a skin and shapes from L'Anguisette and getting to talk to the creator for a little bit.  I love this skin, and though the shape started out a bit too curvy for me, with the ability to modify, I quickly had the shape I love with only a few minor adjustments.  The Asian inspired skin is uniquely and wonderfully detailed.  I will be taking a stroll on over to the store to check out what other goodies I can get my hands on!

The Heavenly Skies Collection from Glint! was a perfect accent to this outfit especially with the wing details surrounding the stones.  Hurry on over as there are all kinds of specials and gifts for you at Glint, with new releases coming all the time.  When the Jewelry Fair was around a few months ago, Tantalum had this ring as a 10L special and I just adore it!  I decided to play up the very "Burlesque" feel of this ensemble and matched it up the Deale boots from Hucci.  They come in a variety of sizes and fit fantastically!  I also love that you can pick whether you want gold or silver for the chain, making them more versatile.  So head on over to the store and pick up your favorite colors today!

Hurry on over to the website and grab all the information for the hunt, and then get your hunt on over at Topazia for this AMAZING dress!

Sensual Style @ Sneak Peek

Good evening and I hope everyone has had a fabulous day!  Penumbra's Sneak Peek starts tomorrow and I hope everyone is ready for their "Chic Sneak Peek."  Elite designers hand picked to bring to you the most fashion forward exclusive designs on the grid.  The event opens the 25th of the month and will run until December 5th.  And here is your first glimpse, from me, into Sneak Peek!

D&G Designs has created the "Fatal Beauty" collection exclusively for this round of Sneak Peek and it is absolutely stunning.  The dress comes in 3 versions, as pictured above.  From fairly covered, to daring; this dress covers all of your glamorous affairs this holiday season.  The collection comes with the Dress, Pumps, Earrings, Handbag, and Eyemakeup, and Face Shield.  Each very complimentary to the outfit and of each other.  I love the exquisite lace on this dress all over and the shoes as well.

From the Jewelry Fair to the Bling Hunt!

Well hello everyone!  The month of September is almost at its end, and that means two VERY important things!  The Jewelry Fair ends September 28th, so you have just a couple more days to run down to the event to lay your hands on some beautiful baubles!  The Platinum and Pearls set from Glint! is very well detailed and looks great with a casual boho look, or as shown here, dressed up for The Bling Hunt! 

Outfit

Dress - A&CO Sparkle Dress for The Bling Hunt

Comes in Blue and Noir

Heels - /heathenesque/ Bling Sandals for The Bling Hunt

Jewelry - Glint! - Platinum and Pearls Set @ The Jewelry Fair TIL the 28th! HURRY!

If you happen to see me running around on the grid right now, and NOT working on a blog post, you will find me in these FANTASTIC new heels from Heathenesque for The Bling Hunt.  They are adorable, and beautifully textured.  The moment I unpacked this great dress from A&CO for the hunt, I knew I had to put these two items together!  I love the fit on this mesh dress, and the textures are quite well done.  This is just a tease of all the amazing things being put together for the hunt, so make sure to check out all the information below!

The Razor's Edge

In the shadows, she dances on the razor's edge.  Constantly flirting with danger in an endless dance of mystery and darkness; pain and solitude.   Her eyes glancing forever over her shoulder, watching and waiting.

Last night, wandering with my best friend, while doing a bit of retail therapy at Razor, I picked up these amazing boots and this fantastic outfit!  I love the fit on the Ring Leader outfit, even though, no alpha and no panties, might take a bit to get used to, for me.  It is super sexy, expertly detailed and even when you move around, none of your pink parts peek through!  I just HAD to grab the Envy boots while I was there as well, because the HUD is just AMAZING!  I went with the basic black for this outfit, but the color combinations Razor offers are sure to keep almost anyone happy!  

 

Now, Suicide Dolls is wrapping up their latest round with a new one starting this weekend, and 7mad;Ravens will be bringing you a new original mesh guillotine necklace, that comes in two versions; bloody and not.  Pictured here is the bloody version and the necklace is perfectly done.  From the slight glint on the blade to well placed blood, this necklace is awesome!  So make sure to run down this weekend or during the week and grab yours!  I have a feeling some of you missed the Saturday Sale, which means you missed these cuffs from heathenesque.  The brute cuffs come in a variety of colors and are a perfect, chunky cuff that can go with your heaviest industrial looks, to casual jeans and t's! The Depraved Nation sim itself holds all kinds of unexpected discoveries if you haven't been by yet.  Wander around and find the new homes for 7mad and heathenesque, you will be glad you took the time to go get lost on the Razor's Edge!

Bohemian Love

By the light of the fire she taps her tambourine against her leg as the night encircles her like a blanket.  The song that plays in her head is one you cannot hear, but can feel, just by watching her move.  The lament of the lonely Gypsy Queen is what you would call it, but to her...it is just her song.

 Just had to take pics and show off this amazing Gypsy outfit from Gizza.  The tambourine adds a wonderful whimsical feel to this outfit, and it comes with animations and without.  The bracelets are also out front of Gizza, across from the Group gifts on the little carts.  Worth finding their hiding spot!  The Sun and Moon necklace is from The Secret Affair and is HUD run with 3 different options for metals on the moon and the sun.  The sweet and dainty Wicker Beaded Choker is from Kahil Designs and is also available there, so please stop by and check out all the fantastic Game of Thrones inspired items available now!  My amazing nails are available at The 100 Block, along with THOUSANDS of amazing items; some exclusive and most at discounts of 30-50%!  Now, as I have discovered the Pre-release Gacha event is something most people do not know about...which I think is a shame.  From poses, to nails, to furniture to jewelry, it is a great place to take a sneak peek at new releases!  My gold rings are by Tantalum and are from a Gacha at the  Pre-Release Gacha Garden!

Thank you to Kay at Image Essentials for continuing to provide a great place to take pics!  Go visit and find out for yourself!!!

The Gypsy Queen predicts you will have a wonderfully wicked week and weekend full of SHOPPING!!!  Enjoy and be well!
