The tree and I are decked out in shiny baubles for the Holidays!

I have gotten a bunch of trees this year to blog and though I have truly loved several of them, something was still missing for my personal home.  I spotted a post on flickr this morning and I checked out the blog and knew exactly where I was heading as soon as my son wanted to do something other than lay around and watch movies on a snow day.  When that happens, the computer is held hostage, but I will never complain about spending time with my teenager.  The Mix is a rather new event on the grid that is run via a HUD, so you aren't heading out to an event you actually get a chance to check out the mainstores of featured creators.  I went to the website and found out all the info, grabbed my free HUD from the Marketplace, logged on and checked it out, even though I only had one destination in mind today, [CIRCA].  For the event, they have two Christmas trees to choose from, Blue and Silver, and Red and Gold, for those of you who have seen my home, you would have expected me to grab the Blue and Silver, but tradition holds strong with Christmas for me, so the Red and Gold was MINE, as well as the packages to fill the space beneath.  Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed AND there is plenty of room for you to add extra ornaments, which I plan on doing tonight.  As I was decorating, a new package came in from Amarelo Manga and I was delighted to see a dress that went perfectly with my new decor.  The tree and I are both decked out in shiny baubles for the holidays!

The Indira gown from my Amarelo Manga is absolutely stunning with its banded design, wrapped just like a present, vintage scrolled print, and form fitting long design.  It is perfect for all of your holiday events, so make sure to head by the store and check out it and all the other new releases as well.

Time to unwrap your gift!

When the temperatures start to drop outside it is a perfect time to heat things up inside and there is no better way to do that than in truly sexy, jaw dropping lingerie.  After all, when donning lingerie you don't want it to look frumpy, you want it to stun the person getting to enjoy you in it!  Pink Ice brings this absolutely magnificent lingerie set to the grid exclusively at the Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase.  The set is available for most mesh bodies, and I am wearing the Maitreya here.  The applier worked perfectly and I love the fact this set comes in four versions via the HUD.  I am wearing the most complete set, but trust me you can end up in just sexy straps as you click through the HUD, offering you a wide variety of sensual looks this holiday season.  I would love to wake up Christmas morning and tell someone to unwrap their present while wearing this set, especially if those were the jewels I had opened on Christmas Eve!

Fairytale Romance

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope everyone's week is starting off smoothly, well as far as Mondays go.  We only have a few more days until Valentine's and this week will be dedicated to bringing you gorgeous ensembles that reflect the romantic mood of the week.  Zanze's newest creation, "Mirasol" is absolutely stunning and if you have a special night planned it is the perfect gown!

The mesh on this elegant, long sheath dress is wonderfully textured and comes in a variety of colors via the HUD.  The neckline is just high enough to not have to wear a necklace, which would really overwhelm this dress in all reality.  I chose the purple in the dress to accentuate this amazing new skin from Poudre, available exclusively at The Hipster Fair through the 15th for only $499L!  A smoking deal, so hurry on over!  The "Rachel" hair from CATWA was a perfect addition to this ensemble as the flowing waves just graze the exposed collar bone to gently flow down the back adding to the fairytale feel of this ensemble.

Dress - Zanze - Mirasol - NEW!!! NEW!!! NEW!!!

Jewelry - Zuri Rayna - Aurora Elite V2

Rose - CATWA - Pink Long Rose (Rose Gacha)

Skin - Poudre - Deva Soft Pink - Exclusive @ The Hipster Fair 2015

Hair - CATWA - Rachel

Eyes - IKON - Hope - Denim

Hands and Feet - Slink

Nails - Pulcino - Fraisier

Poses - PosESion - Yeriak and Madeleine

CATWA also provides the roses for this styling with the previously released "Gacha Roses".  They are available in two styles, long for the hand and short to be worn in the hair.  The roses come in a wide variety of colors and are a wonderfully flirty and romantic detail for this Valentine's Day.

Have a wonderfully wicked rest of the day and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you.

Aurora Borealis

Aurora Borealis

by Nellie Seelye Evans

There is a flower of climate rare,
That never bloomed for me,
I searched the wood, I searched the moor,
I robbed the emerald sea.

 

Alone upon an icy coast,

By Arctic's hem it grows,
Its beauty is intoxicant
To those who brave the snows.

 

But when the Bear shines clear and high
I dream of Polar night.
Wherein this wondrous flower blooms
In sheaves of rainbow light.

 

 

This absolutely stunning dress is a brand new creation from Zanze that is a must have for your next special occasion!  The "Nice Wild Crocus Gown" is intricately detailed from the bottom to the top including the delicate styling across the back making this dress spectacular from any side.  The dress is available in several colors and each one is an gorgeous as the pink, pictured here.  If you haven't had the chance to fall in love with Zanze, then find the time and head on over and have a look, I am sure you will find exactly what you are looking for in fashion forward designs!

Night at Usher II

Night at Usher II

 The House blazed with life and color; harlequins rang by with belled caps and white mice danced miniature quadrilles to the music of dwarfs who tickled tiny fiddles with tiny bows, and flags rippled from scorched beams while bats flew in clouds about gargoyle mouths which spouted down wine, cool, wild and foaming.

A creek wandered through the seven rooms of the masked ball. Guests sipped and found it to be sherry. Guests poured from the booths, transformed from one age into another, their faces covered with dominoes, the very act of putting on a mask revoking all their licenses  to pick a quarrel with fantasy and horror. The women swept about in red gowns, laughing. The men danced them attendance.

And on the walls were shadows with no people to throw them, and here or there were mirrors in which no image showed.  "All of us vampires!" laughed Mr. Fletcher.  "Dead!

 Ray Bradbury - The Martian Chronicles - Usher II

As she wandered along the glistening corridors, sipping the blood red Sherry from a crystalline glass, the golden room caught her attention.  The way the lights danced about the room, almost playing tricks on here eyes; as if the room were filled with a hundred souls, not just the scattered few who milled about the room.  She swore she heard someone whisper the word "death" but then again, she had heard all kinds of things whispered tonight.  Placing her mask to her face; the exquisite details becoming clearer as she stepped to the mirror.  The delicate skull, luxurious fabrics, and what quite possibly, could be bone.  Leaning in closer to get a better look her heart stopping suddenly as the mask falls from her hand; her delicate fingers fumbling towards the mirror; seemingly searching for herself,  she realizes she too has become one with the Court of the Dead.
