"Tell me will love be there" - Featuring Petit Chat, Powder Pack, MODISH and MORE!

Today officially marks the start of Winter break for my son and I think I am more excited than he is, because it gives me time to myself next week to get organized and blog a bit more than I have been, as long as the internet cooperates.  The last few days we have been plagued by very high winds, blowing in a possible snow storm finally, and that has played havoc with the internet, for some reason.  Our provider would tell you that high winds cannot effect the service, but it is only during these periods of sustained high winds that we lose internet for hours on end.  So we just have to grin and bare it and hope for the best.  Luckily it has cooperated long enough today for me to get two posts out, one for fashion and one for home decor, which truly makes me happy!  Mainly because I think I am in need of some stress relief lately with all that has been going on, but with Christmas right around the corner I get a vacation here soon, which I am looking forward too more than you know.  I can picture a glass of wine in hand as I sit in the hot tub with my man chatting about what we are going to do once the last one graduates from high school in June, as the sun sets over the desert.  Romance, family, friends, food and love is what this holiday is all about this year for me, and I hope it is for you as well, because you cannot package that love is found when you are surrounded by those closest to your heart. 

If you love to accessorize as much as I do then you really need to stop by The Chapter Four and pick up the brand new, 100% original mesh design by Trinity Yazimoto for Petit Chat.  The Clair de Lune bracelets can be customized in every way possible with the incredible HUD and the fact each piece is also MOD.  As always the textures are amazing and the piece can be worn alone or in combination with others for a bolder look, so stop by today, I promise you won't be disappointed.  And if you haven't made it by this round of FaMESHed, and you are looking for accessories or hair, then hurry because this gorgeous new set of curls from Wasabi Pills is a MUST have addition to your collection, as are the adorable rings from Empyrean Forge, perfect for this holiday season.  Happy Shopping!!!!

Late Winter showers are the prelude to Spring flowers

The last couple of days have seen the temperatures skyrocketing into the high 50's and low 60's which means the snow has almost completely melted away from even the most shadowy spots and people are out and about on our trails soaking up the late Winter sun.  Today, however, the clouds have begun to gather in the sky, threatening an afternoon shower or two, and possibly a few snow flurries.  When we get snow and rain at this time of year I begin to get excited for the Spring flowers I know are right around the corner and no matter how cold it gets, or how wet, there is still a spring in my step!  With the past few weeks spent trying to play catch-up I have managed to not get caught up!  Isn't that the way it always seems to go?!  Which means I am way behind in showing you these adorable Comfy Boots from Petit Chat, as well as the monthly group gift, that happen to go brilliantly with the new release from Coquet, or the cute Spring Umbrellas, also from Petit Chat!

When I returned I went out shopping, because we all know coming back after a few months makes you look a tad outdated when it comes to SL, so when I stumbled on this adorable new ensemble from Coquet I just had to add it to my closet!  The long flowing cardigan with tank top is perfect for this time of year, and the whole thing can be worn with or without the coordinating leggings, making it very versatile and a perfect outfit for these late Winter days, so make sure to stop by FaMESHed and check it out today, and while you are out and about stop by Petit Chat, you won't be disappointed.  This month, the Hearts collection that comes in a wide variety of colors, can be picked up as February's group gift in the EXCLUSIVE Coral color featured here, and also check out the new Comfy Boots that are sure to be in the store soon, since The Chapter Four recently closed.  The boots are HUD driven and come in a TON of colors and you will be amazed by all the texturing options, making them versatile enough to add to any closet, so do yourself a favor and add them to yours today!

Lost and Found started on the 22nd, which means the crowds probably are still pretty big, but if you are like me, and love the late Winter showers and love to bring these things into SL, then make sure to check out the Spring Umbrellas, exclusive to the event, brought to you by Petit Chat as well.  The umbrellas come in 4 different textures, with a HUD to change all the bits and pieces to match your favorite ensemble OR to simply make a statement with bright colors and prints, trust me you won't be disappointed!

Sinner's Prayer

To love the right,
yet do so wrong.
To be the weak,
yet burn to be so strong.

go rider, although your ride has been through life.
go rider, i see your soul through the devils eyes.

if i could live my life again,
would i have lived that life in sin?

go rider, go ride into the night

go rider, now see your soul through a woman's eyes

i am a sinner
hold my prayers up to the sun
i am a sinner
heavens closed for what I've done

Sinner's Prayer

Hello all you Sinners!  I hope you all have ventured out on The Dirty Turkey and Blood Letters Hunts that are currently taking place on the grid!  Here are a few teasers from those two events!  Heathenesque and 7mad;Ravens continue to expand their designs and stores by bringing fantastic furniture and decorative items to us all!  Both signs from 7mad have been released for the hunts, and will be exclusive items, so make sure to grab the details for Dirty Turkey (TDTH) HERE, and Blood Letters, HERE!  Heathenesque's Studded Wall Art comes in 3 sizes and colors, the largest is pictured above.  The detail is amazing on the art and the signs both and make wonderful home additions!  I also happened to love the table from R&B Designs for TDTH, not just for Halloween, but a neat "spooky" table to just have around.

This GORGEOUS skin is by ~Crow~ and can be found at the mainstore, along with a NEW group gift, which just happens to be this skin in a paler shade!  The detailing is amazing and for those who love the paler skin tones, this store is for you.!  I love having makeups to choose from to make one skin appear to be several and this is another place Mattie Rae of Crow does not disappoint!  Head on over and grab some demos, or splurge and grab a skin or two and fall in love with Crow for yourself!  The XY Room has been open just a few days as well, and if you haven't taken my cues to head on over, then use this as just another reason to do so!  Glitzz brings us this stunning little number for the event and it comes in several colors.   *Note - If you do not like fitting prim pieces on system clothing, then do NOT bother with this dress as the prim piece is a tad bit particular.  I was truly blown away by the number of designers involved in this event and at the AMAZING prices!  So hurry on over to XY while you can!

Another Sleepless Night

Staring out the window, on another starless, rainy, melancholy kind of night;  and truth be told, really my favorite kind of night,  For how can one see the beauty and brilliance of the light, if they have never truly, known darkness.  Gazing to a photo on the nightstand and the pile of clothes, books, cards etc. stacked on the other side of the bed doesn't help the melancholia, but maybe....putting on a little fashion show for myself might!  After all, I have been doing a little shopping!

Digging through the boxes and bags from the last few days I find my new jammies set and robe from Valentina E and quickly find a little brightness in my day!  This adorable combo can be found at the current round of FaMeshed in a variety of mix and match colors.  I love how the robes compliment the sets and can be worn with more than one.  The alpha for the panties can be a bit tricky, and I would suggest trying the panties and tank by themselves before putting on the robe, so you can check the fit.  As you can tell, the robe lies well, and breaks very little unless in a very animated pose with your arms.  A truly wonderful outfit again from Valentina E!

The Chapter Four opened just a few days ago at a new location (yay) and I just had to wander over during a recent shopping therapy date.  The new location was a lot less laggy for me than the old sim, and I was quite pleased to be able to maneuver quickly and easily through the 3 areas.  Les Petits Details is not usually a designer I go to for my everyday look, but this adorable outfit blew me away!  The eyelet lace on the "Nicole" top and skirt is perfectly done, as are the shadows and textures.  The slight poof to the skirt makes it lie well whether walking or standing, but of course there are a few issues when sitting, but not many.  I only had to adjust my body fat by a couple of numbers to have this perfectly on my shape, which as you all know by now, is a HUGE thing for me.  The standard sizes have a scale they fit in, and I know where my shape lies and I know that I shouldn't have to make many adjustments if the creator is working off the SL Standard Size guidelines.  Always something to keep in mind when out shopping on the grid!

FaMeshed has also been open for a few days now, and Tableau Vivant has a fantastic hair at the event you should go pick up!  I will be honest, I haven't been a fan of Tableau really, up until now.  The Andree Solstice hair comes in two sizes; one for the implant crowd and another for those who don't care for the mesh breasts.  Now, I have had a question posed to me about hair bases and here is the truth.  I wear a hair base, usually from Wasabi Pills because of the variety of colors, with EVERY hair I wear.  I think it gives a much more natural look and honestly I feel a bit naked without one.
I wandered over to Slink West to check out the My Slink Obsession event (post coming soon) and ended up wandering the sim for HOURS in a Slink induced haze!  Everything you need for your Slink parts is available!  I happened upon these wonderful shoes from SYSY on my adventure.  I love the style on these wonderfully dainty shoes.  A lot of the Slink shoes coming out lately have a chunky heel and I am not a fan.  I love the sexy look of a stiletto and how it enhances the curve of a ladies leg.  These shoes are perfectly feminine and I have grabbed a couple pairs to keep around.  And if you hadn't heard, IKON just released a new line of eyes, Immortal/Mortal.  Each set of eyes comes with both styles and in system and mesh eyes.  As usual, the textures and colors are wonderful and I have fallen in love with these very haunted looking eyes.  I think accessories can overload an outfit at times, and because I wanted to focus on the beauty of this I tried to not distract everyone with a lot of bling.  Just simple bracelets from **Feel**, though they are a gift from a former event.  Check out the little boutique and see what you can find!

As we have hit mid month, I wanted to make sure everyone had made it to this months round of FaMeshed and Collabor88 as there are some amazing finds!  Valentina E has managed to catch my attention since April with their offerings at FaMeshed, and this round is no exception!  I fell in love with this bikini in the photo, and without trying a demo I impulse bought with hopes it fit well.  I ran home and unpacked it and was pleasantly surprised to find I didn't have to adjust my shape, other than a little in the bum!  The alpha is remarkably done, because well, with mesh bikinis, no matter what you do, you always seem to show off the glaring, gaping hole beneath the bottoms.  Which, honestly drives me insane!  However, the cut of this swimsuit, and the alpha are perfect, unless you plan on sitting like a linebacker on the bench waiting to get called in to play.  The top, no matter what size gives ample room for those of us who tend towards larger breasts and yet still doesn't gap around the ribcage or back.  A beautiful piece over all and one that everyone should have in their favorite color, as we all need a little sophistication in our beach wear collections.

On to Collabor88 where I picked up these fantastic shoes by Zenith, and gorgeous stacked collar from Maxi Gossamer!  Again, Zenith has won my heart over with these shoes!  The Bohemian String Platforms come in a variety of colors for the straps, while the beads and wedge heels stay the same.  I chose the chocolate as I think they worked the best with this outfit.  For the price, you can pick up several colors to accent your summer wardrobe and be very happy!  I know I am.  The Vallari Collection offered from Maxi Gossamer is truly gorgeous, and I wish I had been able to afford all of it, but *le sigh* I had to pick my favorite piece, and it had to be the stunning stacked "vintage" metal collar.  It comes with a texture HUD so you have 5 options, making it a very versatile piece of jewelry.  And of course, a previous FaMeshed release from Maxi Gossamer adorn my hands, as the Bali Hand jewelry completed the look!  Make sure to stop by and find your perfect outfit at Collabor88 and FaMeshed!

Candied Angel

OH MY GACHA!!!!  Has opened in the last few days and I finally made my way in during one of my nights of insomnia lately and well, OH MY GACHA!  I might have gone a bit nuts, but so many adorable things!!  And, after getting my pick of rares from the machines I wanted, I was one very happy girl!  I quickly ran home and put together outfits featuring my favorite pieces, and the first thing I had to show were my Archangel NeonWings from 7mad;Ravens and the Rare Lover Girl outfit from 1Hundred.

7mad has blown me away with these wings that come in a flicker and non-flicker option, including an almost spooky, neon, sizzle sound when you have on the flicker version.  These are the Archangel, and they do have a resizer so you can adjust them to fit your shape!  All of the wings in the machine are an original mesh from 7mad and are truly a one of a kind find!  So make sure and stop by and grab a few pairs for yourself!

I think I might have played the 1Hundred machine three times before I squeed at the arrival of the Rare in Fuschia and Lilac, after all they are two of my favorite colors!  Just adorable and it comes with every applier you could possibly want!  I decided to just adjust my shape a bit and go with the standard version with no appliers.  I then had to run off to Cannibelle and grab these stockings, as the outfit doesn't come with them.  They stockings are an amazing deal by the way, $95L for black, nude, and white in sheer and not versions.   And last but not least, the perfect shoes!  Hucci's Jacmel pumps came in the perfect color, Radiant Orchid for this outfit, plus I love the style of this shoe.  It comes in pretty much every color you could ever need!  Finished off with piercings from Cute Poison, and The Candied Angel was complete!  Yes, this hair from Wasabi is anciet, but it was perfect for the outfit!

ArisAris @ Relay for Life

As promised, more items to show you from Relay for Life.  I have fallen in love with this simple, yet stunning dress from ArisAris.  It comes with appliers, as seen here in my Lolas, for those of us who like our curves!  The daring slit on the side of this dress shows off the gams, yet cuts in nicely so you aren't flashing the world your pink parts!

If you haven't had the pleasure of discovering *PROMAGIC* yet, let me introduce you to them with these AMAZING mule style stiletto heels currently available at The Instruments until the 28th!  The black is deep enough to not look dingy, but they have enough detail to not look flat!  The heels have nice stitching down the heel with a white spike tip.  Love them for that flirty, sexy feel of the stiletto without the bulk of straps.  Their exclusive for the last round of Cosmopolitan Show Room, this cute wavy bracelet, has become a pretty standard accessory in my wardrobe.

Matched with a sleek hairstyle from Wasabi Pills, and simple accessories, this is a perfect summer dress!

Eyes on the Horizon

The summer had been long, hot and dry in that dusty old town, and every hour at work tending to the travelers cars was pure agony.  Every spare moment she had, one could find her eyes on the horizon and a daydream dancing around her head.  To toss away the oil rag, and jump on the back of a blue eyed, handsome strangers motorcycle; was the dream of a small town girl, well. at least it was for this one. 

Have you heard of 7mad;Ravens? No? Pfft...go check the store out now, you will be a tad bit surprised!  Making a statement at recent events, 7mad has again created a very unique outfit with the new Greaser top and kneepants.  The pants come in a few different colors and this mesh really fits well.  Not much adjusting on the curves to wiggle into this, which of course made me very happy!  The details of the spiked waistband on the pants, "Trouble" on the shirt pocket and the skully buttons are truly unique and are part of what sets 7mad apart from other designers.  The black pants are shown here and are not something to JUST be worn with this fit.  They are a great grungy pant that can be mixed and matched with many different tops.   Combined with the Dirty Feet Slink Applier from 7mad, this outfit comes together perfectly. 

Too many accessories would have detracted from this fit, which I think is adorable all on its own, so just went with a few simple things. 

Outfit -  7mad;Ravens Greaser Top and Black Greaser Kneepants; Salt The Collar V2; Leonard Triple Strap Spiked Watch; Pomposity Anklet "Sexy" @ Pre-release Gacha Garden; NikotiN Illuminati Cigarette (former Gacha)
