And they called it puppy love...

Fall has definitely fallen in Second Life as Winter starts to nip at my heels here in Northern Arizona and I have to say I am absolutely loving the creations popping up all over the grid, including this stunning new Gazebo set from [CIRCA] and the ADORABLE Pupkin Gacha collection from unKindness!


[CIRCA] brings you two new release collections at their secondary main store, with the gazebo perfect for any season, and the wonderful accessories and pumpkin collection will turn any outdoor area into a Fall oasis, setting the perfect location to set up your Pupkins, from unKindness, which are currently only available at the current round of The Epiphany.  There are several colors and styles available via gacha, with The Princess and The Spartan being the RARES, which come with color change menus, meaning will always have your favorite puppy color combo!  I have fallen in love with them all, I think they call that puppy love, and I promise if you take a stroll by my land you will see these guys peeking out from every corner and around every tree!

I used to think a "Men Working" sign was a good thing in the bedroom

I remember back in high school and my early college years joking about stealing one of those highway road work signs that says, "Men Working" and hanging it over my bed.  It used to amuse the hell out of me, and to this day, still kind of does in that juvenile sort of way.  That feeling changed yesterday however, as the men of my home had to tear up the carpet and padding to see what was wrong with the floor, since it was starting to collapse; only to discover a cracked floor support piece.  Which means, I need a "Men Working" sign this weekend to remind me to avoid the extremely large hole in the bedroom floor that just happens to be on my side of the room on the way to the bathroom.  Being the fix-it man he is, the boyfriend thinks it is going to be an easy fix, so as I sit hear and type they are off to Home Depot to get the materials needed to repair the beam and the enormous hole that had to be cut.  I am hoping I don't need any more orange cones with reflective tape tonight and that I can once again dance around our bedroom between the shadows and the light.

As most of you know, one of the reasons I love being a part of WE LOVE TO BLOG, is that I get introduced to designers I might normally come across, as they start off their careers on SL.  This month is no exception with this amazing creation from BF, who I had never heard of before, but you can bet I skipped over to the store to see what other goodies were waiting, and trust me you won't be disappointed.  The textures are very well done and the entire ensemble flows together perfectly with fantastic geometric designs and bold color patterns.  The outfit comes in standard sizes as well as those for Maitreya, Slink Hourglass and a couple other mesh sizes, meaning you are sure to find the perfect fit for your body, so don't waste anytime and go check out BF today!

"I wanna hold the hand inside you I wanna take the breath that's true." Mazzy Star

As some of you know, the past couple of years I have been working on getting into better shape, and with that has come a significant weight loss.  Though I had wanted to lose weight, my plan didn't include 100+ pounds, since I honestly believed I couldn't do it.  Over the last year my brain has finally started to come around and the person I see in the mirror is a much more realistic version of me, compared to what I had been seeing for the last few years.  One of the things that happens, I think for most people, when losing a lot of weight, there is a reluctance to go out and buy new clothes because of the fear we all have of sizes.  Anyone who has ever gained a bunch of weight knows your clothes can stretch with you to a point, which means we have no clue what size we truly are at the height of our weight, or at the lower end because we have gotten stuck in our comfort zone.  I honestly didn't buy anything new, or step on a scale for over three years before I began this new way of life, because that is what it is, not a diet.  I also refused to buy new clothes, other than when something was needed, and then I honestly only bought stuff at Walmart.  What was the point of spending money on a size of clothing I didn't want to be in, and hated looking at the tags?  By the time I went to get clothes, because they were literally falling off of me, I had gone from a size 26, to a size 18; and after a shopping spree over the weekend, I can say everything except my jeans was bought in the regular sized ladies department.  I think I might have been 24 the last time I could say that, and I think I am still floating on cloud nine!  It would have been 18 years this month that I was at least 80 - 100 pounds overweight, and now I can say I have 30 pounds to go to be in the Doc's acceptable body weight, which means, probably 20 pounds in my eyes.  If I was doubtful about being able to lose this much and get back in shape, my father was a complete skeptic!  He is a bit of a tyrant when it comes to weight, and has given me a hard time for years.  I happened to have to see him this morning for a meeting at Social Security and I of course had to wear a new dress I bought this weekend.  Though he didn't say much to me, he did say he liked the dress, but I got a call a couple of hours later that has a smile etched into my face this afternoon.  Apparently he went home and told my mother I looked stunning today and that he couldn't believe how hard I had worked to get to where I am today.  I don't think it matters how old you are, a compliment from your Dad means the WORLD, especially if you happen to be a bit of a daddy's girl.  Now I know that I have done most of this work on my own, I do have to bring up the fact that being truly happy has helped out a lot.  For the first time since my early 20's I am complete in all areas of my life; romantic, financial, career, spiritual, social; every area is fulfilled and with that has come a sense of peace and true bliss.  Suddenly, that pesky plateau I couldn't get past melted away and those last few pounds seem to be disappearing into the wind, like a snake shedding it's skin to grow and stretch and learn.  All things become possible when all things in your life are complete.  Notice I said possible, because as we all know, no one should ever get everything they want in this life.  Makes life a bit too predictable and I personally enjoy that part of our lives, even though it can be frustrating at times.  So if there is one thing I can say this Summer, is that I have learned true love really changes you and your life in ways you never imagined!


I was browsing through the Designer Showcase preview notecard the other day and made a plan to head over to the event to grab this gorgeous ensemble when all of the sudden there it was as a delivery in We Love to Blog.  I might have gotten a bit stupidly excited since I just adore this entire outfit with it's delicately feminine styling, soft colors, versatility and overall fabulous design from KiB.  The Kamilla Collection is 1 dress with 8 colors to choose from via HUD as well as a necklace and 2 bracelets, exclusively available at the event, so HURRY, trust me you are going to fall in LOVE with it!  Alaskametro has several new skin releases and this stunning new makeup release, Fall Runway, is inspired by the latest trends in fashion and can only be found at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair that runs through the 21st, where you can find all kinds of goodies for your mesh parts!

Using your eyes now, using your mind, using my mind

No matter what mood I start out in, if I am blogging and I unbox some new lingerie a kind of wistful euphoria takes over and even though the lace isn't on my own skin, I immediately feel sexy.  My grandmother was a firm believer in always wearing something lacy that others couldn't see because it was a constant reminder to be a lady.  This morning was no exception with this gorgeous new release from DaneMarkZ and a song, as usual, started to play it's way through my mind which of course I had to share it with you all!

Undress Me Now
Morcheeba
Using your mind
Imagine our skin
Joined at the hip
Joined from within
By using your eyes
You're freezing my frame
Watching our clothes burst into flames
Using your eyes now
(Undress me now, you know how)
Using your mind
Using your mind
So give me a light
Oh give me a drink
Just give me a reason
To feel what I think
Using your eyes now
Using your mind
Using my mind
Using your eyes now

Does a candy apply count as taking candy from strangers?

I took a walk into the woods tonight, and as my thoughts drifted so did my feet from my well worn path and before I knew it, night had set in and I was dreadfully lost.  Stumbling along in the darkness a light in the distance guided my way, almost like a beacon.  The bright warm glow drew me in like a moth to a flame and before long I emerged in a hidden glade with fireflies and a quaint shack.  The ravens above the door and the jars in the window raised the hairs on my neck but the beautiful, yet haunting tune seemed to put any fear aside and up to the door I strolled.


A Tabby cat rubbed against my leg as I crossed the threshold and slowly strolled through the cabin and curled up next to the vintage phonograph haphazardly placed on the floor.  The scent of fresh caramel and apples struck me as my eyes took in the scene around me.  Lost in the woods I had stumbled upon a Fortune Tellers home, marked by the crystal ball on the table and more than likely the occupant was also a witch, with ritual items scattered about the place.  What drew me to the handmade doll on the chair, I do not know; but over and over I turned it, examining the burlap sewn body, button eye and the stick pins protruding from it, wondering for who or what it had been made.  A quiet clearing of a throat caught me off guard and I might have jumped as the owner of the home had silently entered her home and stood looking at me with a slight smile and tilted head.  I realized at that moment that my feet had moved before my brain had realized it and carried me to the chair where I sat, my mind swirling.  "Your future?  Do you want to see?"  I pondered this a moment, and though I knew I was tempting fate in some way, I took a Candy Apple from her outstretched hand and after taking a small bite my inhibitions were gone.  I looked at her and whispered, "yes."  Images arose in the crystal ball before and a tale of what was to come in my life fell from her lips.  I shall not share those details, as she said it was between she and I, but I ask....does a candy apple count as taking candy from strangers?

Play me a tune

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Sorry I have been away again, but I had to listen to my back and stay in bed for a few days just to get to the point of being functional again.  The boxes are starting to pile up as are the notecard's wondering what I have been up too, so the only thing to do is get through it!  The month of August is always full of birthdays for me, with 3 family members and some of my closest friends occupying the Leo and Virgo parts of the star chart, so later this week I will be taking off for a few days to relax with the family around the pool down the Phoenix way.  Of course, before I take off I will make sure I have taken care of as many responsibilities as I can and when I return I am hoping a few days spent in the pool will help alleviate some of the back pressure so I can get back to work again!  I cannot begin to explain how much this has put a cramp in my style this Summer.  But, as the saying goes.... "Want to make God laugh?  Make a plan!"  That sums up my Summer in all reality so until my back puts me back on track, whatever plans I had for my future are on hold.  Which means I will blog when I can and as often as I can and continue to provide you all with some insight into the fashion world on Second Life.  I appreciate every single one of my readers and followers and love the feedback and support you all give me.  I never would have imagined that a little blog about fashion on SL could become something so much more.  It is a great feeling and trust me when I say that things have to be bad for me to stay away, otherwise I would probably overwhelm everyone with all of my thoughts!!!!

In the past I have mentioned I love being a part of We Love to Blog for many reasons, but truly my favorite is getting to promote up and coming designers that not everyone has gotten to hear about yet!  I get a bit excited when I get something new from Tashi, and when I saw they were in the current round of The Instruments I might have bounced a little!  Leave it to Tashi to bring you a fabulous dress with a color change HUD, shoes and nails to match!  One stop shopping this August at The Instruments!


I absolutely love this little dress with its delicate slit and soft appearance.  I tossed on the "Maitreya" version of the dress and WOW, what a shape!!!  Yes, I have done a bit of enhancement up top but most of the credit for that goes to the dress!  Each piece available was created to mix and match together so head on over and create your favorite look today, while you are at it, make sure and drop by IT! as well and grab this months group gift!


The Arabesque Collection is exclusively for group members only at the store and comes with a HUD to change colors and also has a resizer ensuring a perfect fit every time.  I love the intricate scroll work and dainty, yet bold Turquoise pieces which adorn both the necklace and earrings; they would make a great addition to any jewelry box, so don't wait any longer and head on over today!

Come see the world through my eyes

I have often been called an old school hippie, old soul or a mystic.  Throughout my whole life wild patterns, bright colors, and wildly eclectic design styles have drawn me in and held me captive.  I hate a stoic home or room, makes me wonder if the people who live in that space are just as bland.  Recently I have given everyone a peek into my comfort zone which has ended up in me taking a lot of pictures at home recently, which makes my life so much easier!  I thought I had things pretty much set up until I opened this amazing collection from [CIRCA] and KNEW I would be redecorating a bit, especially after my adventure over at the Gacha Garden!  The Gypsy MoonSea Collection is currently only available at Swank for 50% for the duration of the event, so HURRY before it heads to the store at full price!


The collection consists of dresser, ornate mirror, bonsai tree, candles, two floor rugs, 2 pillows and 2 chests, one with accessories and one without.  The detailing along the trunk and dresser are hand drawn and the attention to detail is truly amazing.  If you too are addicted to the shabby chic, or attic eclectic look, as I like to call it, then wait no longer and head on over to Swank, you won't be disappointed!

Playing piano in the dark

Growing up you could always count on hearing my Mother on the piano on the weekends and some nights after work as it was her stress reliever.  Over the years since I left home and went out on my own that is something I have missed in every home I have made, a piano.  Granted I never learned to play but I can read music well enough to know how to plunk out the melody line of a song but just the idea of a piano has been something I have longed for throughout the years.  It is often the centerpiece of our family gatherings over the holidays as we all love music and everyone either plays an instrument or sings around here.  When I saw the newest release for On9 from Serenity Style I got quite excited and you can bet one of these fantastic pianos now adorns my little place in the sky!

Serenity Style - Complete Piano - animations and music on touch


Serenity Style - Piano Deco
The Complete Piano has several sitting and standing poses/animations as well as a soundtrack via touch to add a little Classical music to your home, or if you are simply looking to add a decorative piece to bring back some memories of home then just grab the deco piano instead of the full one at this round of On9.  The event started two days ago which means the traffic has tapered off a bit which means I am sure you will be able to shop with ease.

Decor Decadence

For a long time now I have wanted to let my Interior Decorator side out to play, but land space, prim availability etc. have kept me from being able to set  up scenes in the way that I would like.  Over the past couple of months this has been changing, and I am finally able to show off some of the fantastic furniture and home decor pieces currently available on the grid.

Graphite and Oak by Rupsy Roo
This gorgeous collection features dark graphite fabrics with excellently detailed Oak wood and comes with the chair, 2 lamps, side table and rug.  I like the look with more than one chair, so tossed out another copy to finish off the scene.  Whether you are looking for a club set or the perfect decor for a more masculine, or modern office this set fits the bill.  The Graphite and Oak Collection can be yours for 50% off during its premier at the Retail Therapy Event which runs through the end of the month, so hurry on over and pick up yours today, you won't be disappointed!

Like, Oh My God! She's a Valley Girl

Due to some technical difficulties around here the past week, mainly me back, my series on dressing styles is going to have to wait for a bit since I can't sit for long periods of time right now.  In the meantime, I will be bringing you all kinds of cute goodies for this Summer from various creators and events, so keep an eye out!  Guess what?!  A brand new event from Solaris opens on the 10th, called Apply Me, which of course, is exactly what you think it is!  An event designed with the mesh body in mind!  Here is your first tease!  Enjoy and hope to see you on the 10th!

Total Valley Girl
I have to share a secret today with everyone....the movie "Valley Girl" is a secret obsession and I have loved that movie since the first day it came out.  I was really a little young to have been sneaking into the theater after my sister and her friend thought I had gone into some Disney flick, but I did it anyway.  The stupidly catchy tune from Frank Zappa to the goofy language to the daring, spunky, eclectic way of dressing had me hooked!  So you can imagine my delight and surprise to see this adorable, and aptly named "Valley Girl" ensemble from Pink Pearl Designs, an exclusive release for Apply Me!  From head to toe this entire ensemble is perfect!  The sunglasses sit well on top of your head and I didn't have a hard time finding a hair that looked good, which is always a plus in my book.  The phone and earbuds fit well and I didn't do any adjusting, which was fantastic since the earbuds sat perfectly!  The jacket and skirt are both mesh and the top comes in standard layers as well as with some of the most current appliers.  If you are looking for a bit of a retro look, or if the Summer has brought up some 80's nostalgia then make sure to head on by the store and let your inner Valley Girl come out to play!

Valley Girl Tease
Check out the new nail release from DaneMarkZ adorning my pretty little fingers!  I love the "Tropicana Slant" collection as the colors are perfect for Summer and come in both silver and gold selections making them very versatile.  I also had to get a close up of that popsicle and the cute sunglasses, so you knew that Valley Girls aren't as innocent as they look!  I absolutely adore this look, and it brings out the brat in me, which means it quite possibly may get a lot of wear!  Again, the retro, eclectic look fits in perfectly with my bohemian style, so remember that sometimes it is all in how you put an ensemble together that defines it's style, not just the pieces themselves.

Bohemain Lost in Jinx

Jinx is a new creator part of the amazing We Love to Blog group and I absolutely fell in love with this outfit the moment I unpacked it.  This is truly a "Jade" kind of outfit and completely fits into my idea of Bohemian Couture.  Every detail of this ensemble is perfectly designed to compliment or accent each other, making it a great addition to any closet, especially those of you with a Boho flair.  The top and pants are well meshed and wonderfully textured as are the accessories that go so well with the sexy stilettos.


The color combinations in the "Gemma" ensemble made me hurry to my folder from Alaskametro and grab one of the stunning new eyeshadows that are currently available at Anybody.  The Tropika shadows come in a variety of two tone combinations that are perfect for the Summer!  Make sure to check out all the varieties when you stop by the event including the matching nail polishes available in all the latest appliers, as are the shadows.  Make sure to not miss the fantastic location as well.  All pictures were taken at Vivaldi and I will surely be back to visit the sim and discover more of the secrets at this hidden treasure.

Moulin Rouge

A few weeks ago a new set of goodies showed up from a store I was not familiar with in We Love to Blog.  I opened up everything inside, and ran off to fill out the application to blog for them!  So today I bring to you NoName, one of my newest sponsors, plus a little treat from Heydra


I must say, I had a little bit of fun designing this ensemble for you all today.  The "Keely" corset from NoName has an amazing HUD that allows you to texture the bows, boning, corset inlays, skirt and eyehooks.  The fit is amazing and with just a few clicks of the button on my Slink Physique HUD, whatever was peeking through was now fixed!  I also love the delicate "Butterfly" tattoo, and I chose to wear it on both arms, though you can choose to wear on one or the other.  The tattoo comes with system layers and with all the latest appliers!  NoName also has these fantastic pumps available in a Gacha at the store.  The "Jami" heels are a wonderful classic, yet modern heel that happen to come with a HUGE hud meaning you can texture each and every part of this shoe, making it a must have for your Spring wardrobe!


The Evil Bunny Hunt has been up in full swing for a little bit now, and if you haven't taken a chance and gotten hunt on, then make sure to head on over to Heydra and grab the tattoos before they disappear on the 15th!  After all, it doesn't have to be Easter to need a lil evil bunny in your life!

Innocence Lost

I knew taking off without a map or a clue wasn't a good idea, but it's not like I was known for my brilliance, at least not when it came to street smarts.  So when Daddy's old Buick started to chug and cough out soot colored smoke I wasn't surprised.  Who would have ever thought the bayou really got this dark long before the sun had set, I thought to myself as I trudged down the desolate dirt road.  My only solace was the dim, crimson flashing in the distance that I hoped pointed me towards civilization, or at least to a pay phone....  What I found around the next bend taught me a lesson I will never forget.


Pretty sure the details of what happened that night aren't as important as what you believe might have happened in that rundown, wood and metal clapboard shanty house.  The "For Rent" sign hanging over balcony might have intrigued me to stay, or it may have been the "Always Open" sign that beckoned me to peek around the corners.  All I know, is that night can be summed up easily with two words.... Innocence Lost!

Paint it Black


While I was out and about looking for a locale for my photos today, I happened to be in a discussion with a friend about music for a post.  And after giving her a suggestion, suddenly this song started weaving it's way through my head so I just had to share it with you, plus it happens to be a perfect track to accompany this ensemble, so CLICK IT!!!!  Livid releases new collections for each season and once again you will not be disappointed!  The "Blasphemy" collection features Hoodies and Skirts in 3 different textures and styles, so you are sure to find one to match your style.  As always, the accessories are perfectly matched to the outfit so you can never go wrong.  To make for easy fit and styling each accessory can be resized upon touch, so don't be afraid of the boots, as they are easy to size as well.  If you haven't heard, the Biker's Choice Fair started up yesterday and Catwa has several exclusive hairs for the event, including this fantastic, modern take on the mohawk.

Skirt - Livid - Blasphemy

The "Rockstar" hair is one of Catwa's newest releases to feature a version that works with avatar physics lending an even more real feel to our avatars.  This hair always comes with different styles for you to choose from including a shaved side lending to an even more grungy and even feel to this hair.  Also, in case you missed the news, Catwa has a special gift hair hidden in different stores throughout the event, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled!  As I was wandering around I suddenly was being chased by zombies and I wondered if the eyes change first when you are bitten......  I guess we have the answer.  That little nip on the ankle must have been a bit more serious than I thought.....

Grace


Ever have one of those moments where you don an ensemble and suddenly you feel transported, whether in time or place?  Today was one of those moments when I slid into this magnificent gown from Masoom.  The "Grace" dress truly made me feel like Grace Kelly and I was suddenly having visions of vintage Hollywood and the years of grace and glamour.  The fit on this dress is just perfect and the long peeking line of flesh makes it sensual as well as elegant.  Head on over to the store and make sure to grab your favorite and check out all the other wonderful new releases while there and shine this Spring season.  I paired the dress up with my favorite new shoe release from Precious Designs to add a little edge to the sensuality of the dress.  If you are looking for a new soft, short yet wonderfully feminine hair then head on over to N.21 and grab this fantastic new hair from Lamb!  

Dress - Masoom - Grace - Dove

The "Birdy" hair was exactly the classic Hollywood style with a little bit of modern edge I was looking for to wear with this dress and I was just delighted when I discovered it yesterday at my trip to N.21.  Lots of wonderful color options are available and as usual I fell in love with the Ombres.  I hope you are a lover of the classic beauties and head on over to grab your favorite color of the "Grace" dress and Lamb's newest release at N.21.
