Pacing the house, stopping for a moment to warm myself at the fire; as I wait for the crunch of your tires on the gravel driveway, knowing I could still hear that sound with the soft snow that covered the ground. Pouring a glass of wine, trying to keep myself occupied as my thoughts start to drift as worry over takes me. Those black, glassy roads now lightly covered with snow making them even more treacherous tonight. Dialing your number again, only to have it go straight to voice mail. Staring into the fire and grumbling, "WHY did we have to move out here to the middle of no where?!" Lost in that thought a noise draws me from my well of worry as my eyes rise from the floor to the doorwhere your headlights now shine through the dark. Funny how the smallest things can make your day.

Hope you are all having a wonderfully wicked Friday and enjoy your weekend as well! Remember to always stay true to your style and make todays fashions work for you!
Our world moves so quickly these days, and so many of us have taken our
reading to the technological level and don't even sit down to read
anymore. But the feel of a book in your hands, the smell of the paper,
the worn cover; those are all part of what reading is all about. Don't
forget to take the time and sit alone, in your quiet space and read your
favorite book from when you were a child, or simply one that a friend
mentioned somewhere along the way. Be good to yourself and step away
from the technology, the hustle and bustle and simply go back to a time
when everything wasn't, "automatic".
I did mention recently that my bedroom is a mess of boxes, bags and tissue paper, and tucked in those bags from Chapter Four is this adorable outfit from Les Petits Details, called Abigail May. This adorable skirt and jacket/shirt combo feels perfect for these Spring days and made me a bit nostalgic for my college days. Hitting the books during finals months seemed the perfect setting to show off this cute outfit!
Now, the ad for the ILAYA Ring, at the Fantasy Gacha is not one that necessarily draws you in, but I am quite pleased with this simple ring. The rare comes with a color HUD so you can change the stone in the center of the ring, making it a perfect, classic accessory. I have absolutely fallen in love with the jewelry from Zenith featured at the most recent round of Fameshed! Head over and check it out, if you haven't! You still have time!

This dress is a wonderful piece available at ArisAris in black and raspberry. It is a great fit and doesn't break or cut when you move. An excellent addition to my Boho Collection! Take care of yourself and those you love! Enjoy the art of mother nature at her finest!!
Last month on one of the various and assorted hunts a friend of mine were on, we made our way into Dead Dollz, and what I found there blew me away. Now, I love my casual, flowing skirts, and blouses, however.... I am a sucker for a pretty dress and a reason to wear it!
I fell in love with so many of the designs from the store, but this dress caught my eye and was a MUST have in my closet! Not to mention, it goes perfectly with the sandals from Hucci. The sandals were the 21st Shoe Special in March, but take a look around in the store for the other colors!!!

Thank you to my amazing photographer TerraNite! She always manages to catch my mood.
On one of my recent aimlessly wandering shopping trips in SL I
stumbled into *COCO*. Now, first things first... The mix of industrial,
empty warehouse with their high fashion displays struck me as quite
genius. No time spent looking at the scenery or architecture, it is ALL
about the clothes!
I am going to mention the freebies here because
there are about 50 of them, and while most are not mesh, there are some
nice staple pieces for everyone's wardrobe. Fedora hats, boots, shoes,
tanks, shirts, you name it, it is on the large wall in the rear of the
store.
Now, those are the gifts for all, the group gifts are a whole
other wall and you can find a few pieces in this group as well. So
before even wandering up and down the aisles of displays, I had added
quite a few things to my over stuffed closet.
I love
outfits created to go together, it is easy... However, having good
quality pieces is sometimes more important than having several different
complete outfits. The perfect basic t-shirt, Boho skirt, short pleated
skirt, or tank with options of being tucked in or not, these are things
I know I search for all the time. And at *COCO* I was pleasantly
surprised to find those items! I chose two outfits that portray the
versatile and undeniable style of *COCO*.
As the weather starts to clear, those legs of ours start to come out of hiding. This pleated skirt is expertly textured and the mesh fits perfectly. It comes in several colors and is one of my favorite finds, since it can be matched with a variety of outfits.
If you haven't had a chance to stop by this round of Kustom9, you really should. I have picked up several pieces from there to mix and match and one of my favorite picks has to be the Recherche Heels from Mango Cheeks. Featured here are the dark, in Slate. They are not too blue, or grey, nor are they too dark. I found them to go quite well with several different dark colors.
I have a confession to make, when I say wanderings, I really do mean that I go on adventures with no specific destination in mind and just roam around malls and shopping sims to see what I can find. On a recent trip with a friend I literally stumbled into M.O.C.K Cosmetics and immediately found a new favorite place for makeup. On the counter, is a box containing a gift for Easter, and the number 3 in the pack is what I am wearing here. The attention to detail on the eyes here is amazing, and I will be returning soon to pick myself up a few more items.

This dress from *COCO* has exquisite lace details that really cannot truly be appreciated until it is on the body. The flirty flare of the skirt, and the hint at the chemise beneath being slightly off the shoulders, makes this dress very alluring. Whether you want to dress it up, as I decided to here, or dress it down, it is a perfect Spring and Summer dress. I am chomping at the bit for more shoes from Nineteen Ninety Two, and I know there are some at the events this month, but I have yet to run across them. The Leighton sandals have a great heel and come in quite a few colors.and they don't come across as being a "dressy" shoe per se. My watch and bracelet combo comes from Mandala and though a bit pricey, it is well worth the close to $700L. I am wearing the complete version, in leather, but you can pick and choose how many bracelets you want to wear with it, or simply just the watch.
