The Lady in Red - Featuring Virtual Diva

Tomorrow is the last night of 2017 and I hope everyone has safe and fun plans in the mix! The boyfriend and I are going to use our Gift Certificate for Outback and enjoy a night out for the two of us. I know anyone with children knows how hard it can be to spend alone time together, even when the kids are 18 and 19, so we are going to take advantage of the time and relax together as the year comes to a close. This past year has had it's ups and downs but it has been nice to have each other to face things together, instead of apart, and that has made things a little bit easier. If you happen to have plans on Second Life for New Year's Eve, and you are still frantically looking for a gown, then do yourself and head over to Swank before they close their doors and grab this absolutely stunning new gown from Virtual Diva!

The Holy Couture Gown from Virtual Diva is an exclusive at Swank until the end of the month and then will be available in the store. The design is stunning and the open back and daring neckline make it a sensuous dress that you just have to see to believe, so do yourself a favor and pick yours up today. And while you are out shopping on the grid, stop by Nord Embyl'Lys and check out the last design of the year, you won't be disappointed! The Flocons de Neige collection has an amazing HUD that allows you to choose the colors of your gems and pearls as well as to resize the pieces, which include earrings, two necklaces and bracelets, giving you a stunning and complete collection perfect for the Winter! Happy Shopping!!!

Lady of the light gone mad with the night - Featuring Virtual Diva

So if any one was paying attention to my post at the end of last week, then you know I was looking forward to a week of getting organized for work and of doing a bit of catch up on my blogging. Well as we all know, as soon as you make plans, life happens. I have been putting on a bit of a brave face of late as I have had to ween myself off of my nerve medication, per physician instruction, since I have developed a life threatening allergy to it. If there was one medication I would tell people I couldn't live without, it would have been that one, so I have been getting to know that pain again and it has thrown me for a loop and kept me from being able to come into town to my computer. It has been years now since I have had to feel the fire of nerve pain through my body, but I am finding a new strength in looking for alternative treatments and empowering myself and once again calling pain my constant companion, my muse, but never my friend.

"The Poet and The Muse

There's an old tale wrought with the mystery of Tom
The poet and his muse
And the magic lake which gave a life
To the words the poet used

Now the muse she was his happiness
And he rhymed about her grace
And told her stories of treasures deep
Beneath the blackened waves

'Till in the stillness of one dawn
Still in its mystic crown
The muse she went down to the lake
And in the waves she drowned

And now to see your love set free
You will need the witch's cabin key
Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night
That's how you reshape destiny

Check out this stunning new dress from Virtual Diva, an in-store release for the new Winter Collection! The Nostalgic dress fits the curves perfectly, accentuating all the right places on the body, making it a wonderfully classic dress with vintage styled lacing along the front. If you are looking for an understated but classically beautiful new dress for the Holiday season then do yourself a favor and head on over to the store today, you won't be disappointed!

Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's trends in fashion and home decor work for you!

The truth is rarely pure and never simple. - Oscar Wilde

I honestly have no idea where the last couple of months went, and I can't believe Thanksgiving is literally right around the corner. Our house is still in shambles but we had an incredibly productive weekend and the days after Thanksgiving will be spent putting in the new floor, which I am terribly excited about! Thirteen months after the leak was discovered we are getting the house together and in a few months it will be ready to be put up for sale, unless we decide to stay in Flagstaff for some odd reason. But all of this means we won't be having Thanksgiving at our house and the rest of the family doesn't cook, so a turkey dinner with all the fixings is not on the agenda this year, and I am a tad bit disappointed. I love the whole production like atmosphere of Thanksgiving, and its the only time of the year I get to make certain dishes I love, so I have a feeling we will be having our own turkey dinner at some point this month, since Christmas will be spent with the entire family, where I will be cooking lots of different things except a turkey! The truth is, I love the traditions, and the time with the family and I hate when things change, which means I am a bit out of sorts now after finalizing the plans for next week, and a quote from Oscar Wilde has danced through my head this morning more than once, after realizing what he meant. "The truth is rarely pure and never simple," but a photo is simple and it speaks the truth you wish to see!

On Friday I actually had time to head out onto the grid from my land and check out a few events, including Collabor88, FaMESHed and Fifty Linden Fridays and I am STILL trying to unpack all my goodies! Not to mention I got my De(c)ocrate and Powder Pack releases as well on Friday, since I had been away for most of the week, and all my other blogger boxes, so I had TONS of stuff to check out and I haven't gotten to them all just yet! But the first thing I had to unpack were my goodies from Collabor88 because I absolutely LOVE this new jumpsuit from Scandalize. The Anashara jumpsuit comes with several options including jacket, chains, and two versions, pearl and plain, and in a wide variety of colors as well as an ombre in every set. The jumpsuit is well designed and all the little details make it well worth the trip to Collabor88, which is also where you will find this GORGEOUS new hair from Tram, which you just have to see in person to truly appreciate, and if you are looking for a simple, yet stylish new necklace and bracelet collection then make sure you head over to The Chapter Four and see the Seeds of Metal set, by Petit Chat, for yourself, it will be well worth the trip! Each bracelet comes with a HUD offering 6 metal choices, making it incredibly versatile, as well as two length options, so it can be worn with even your most cleavage revealing ensembles!

Happy shopping and have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day!

The perfect Autumn ensemble - Featuring Ashmoot, and Desmonia

If you have ever spent any time in the mountains of Arizona in the Fall, then you know how amazingly beautiful it can be, and how temperamental the weather is as well. The skies are crystal blue, with gorgeous white, fluffy clouds and the temperatures rise into the 70's during the day, while the evenings are dotted with campfires and bonfires, the smell of smoke in the air, sweaters and temps that dive into the 30's. As you can guess, getting dressed in the morning for the rest of the day can be a bit tricky, and I have come to understand the true meaning of layering, and I find myself wishing I could get away with some of the Autumn fashions I see donning the cover of the latest fashion magazines. But thanks to Second Life, I get to do just that, and this new ensemble from Ashmoot looks like it just came out of the pages of the October issue of Vogue magazine!

From head to toe this entire outfit is incredibly well designed, textured, and the attention to detail is absolutely amazing! The oversized sweater goes perfectly over the flirty, skater styled skirt, the jewelry and glasses are expertly designed to add the perfect details, and check out this magnificent purse that comes in two styles with and without poses. I just had to take more than one photo so I could show off all the details, including the gorgeous new nails and lips from Alaskametro and the fantastic shoes and stockings, also from Ashmoot, that complete this ensemble.

All the items from Ashmoot are currently available at Designer Circle, which opened on the 15th and will run through the 28th, which means you have a little bit of time to head over and grab this ensemble for yourself. In case you needed any more incentive let me give you some more details! The shoes come in 3 different colors, so you can choose to spice up this outfit even more, as well as 2 choices for the purse, and there is also a Ghost version of the sweater, a perfect choice for a casual Halloween party or to just get into the spirit of the season a little bit.

And while you are out and about on the grid, stop by the Cosmetics Fair and check out these gorgeous new Tangerine lipsticks from Alaskametro. They come in 10 different shades with Classic avatar tattoos, as well as applier sets for OMEGA, LeLutka and Catwa mesh heads. The Cosmetics Fair began on the 15th and will run through the end of the month, so stop by and check out all the amazing new releases from your favorite cosmetics creators. Happy shopping and I hope you enjoy all the goodies you pick up while out and about!

"As free as birds catching the wind." Featuring Empyrean Forge, !!smesh and Desmonia

The last year and a half of my life has been like a topsy turvy whirlwind of strange ups and downs, weird health issues and LOVE. After being single for a very long time, and handling things on my own, no matter how hard, I have come to realize that it doesn't matter what life throws at you, it becomes easier when you have someone with which to share it. I had become a bit resigned to being single for the rest of my life and had no intention of getting into a relationship, but to be honest, it was the best decision I never made! My wonderful man and I were on the same page, and we were enjoying having someone to help make dinner for the boys and hanging out as friends when suddenly the universe jumped up with other plans for us. So it wasn't a decision for us, it just happened, and though there have been struggles we couldn't have even imagined, I know neither of us would change a thing. The love of the family we have created together and our commitment to each other, makes life just a little bit easier. All of this was to lead into the fact that I am not a Miley Cyrus fan, at least with what she puts out on the radio, until the recent release of "Malibu", and when I heard it through my speakers through Spotify, I was hooked. In one moment the last year and a half of my life was summed up in a song, and though my toes may not be wiggling in the sands of Malibu, the feeling is the same.

I haven't showcased the We Love to Blog group and it's multitude of designers in a post in a while, so when I unboxed these goodies I JUST had to put them together along with this gorgeous new release from Empyrean Forge! I absolutely love this new hair from Desmonia, a new release in the store. It fits perfectly with mesh heads and if you haven't checked out the colors from Desmonia, then you really need to do yourself a favor and head by the store, and while there check out all the other new releases. It has been a bit since I have picked up anything from !!smesh, I hate to admit, so when I saw a release in the We Love to Blog group I got all excited, and this dress does not disappoint. The Knitted Dress is intricately detailed and fits perfectly on Maitreya, but comes with plenty of other sizes, so I am sure you will find the perfect fit! The dress comes in a variety of colors as well, with some showing a bit more of your naughty bits because of how they show up under the knit. And if you are looking for the perfect jewelry collection to accent any outfit, then head over to FaMESHed and grab the Sequoia Trio from Empyrean Forge. The necklaces are individual pieces and come with their own HUDS making it incredibly versatile, making it a must have addition to your jewelry box! Do yourself a favor and pick up a few of thee pieces and go sink your toes into the sand on your favorite beach sim and relax and unwind.

My quiet time to find original answers - Featuring KiB Designs

Today is my son's 19th birthday and I am in a bit of a daze wondering when he turned from my "little man" into a man, but it seems to have happened over night. It was just he and I for a lot of years, and relying on each other has made our bond quite strong, but as any parent of a teen knows, sometimes it's hard to remember what it was like before all the arguing, yelling and independence seeking began. In the end you have to take a step back and watch them grow into adulthood, offering your help as it's needed and also learning when to let them experience life on their own terms, just as we all did years ago. I know he will probably wander far from home, and even today he said he will miss me when he goes, but no matter how far he roams, I reminded him that I will always be with him. Not in that sappy, in your heart way, but more in the fact that with every decision he makes in life he will carry the lessons I have tried to teach with him, and hope it guides him in the right directions in life. But everyone makes mistakes, and it isn't about how many times you fail, it's about getting back up and how you handle the failure that counts. I often find myself repeating the same quote over and over to him, and at this moment, I feel that I should heed my own advice and take some quiet time to ponder this amazingly wonderful, yet heartbreaking thing called life.

Others inspire us, information feeds us, practice improves our performance, but we need quiet time to figure things out, to emerge with new discoveries, to unearth original answers.

Ester Buchholz

The SPOTLIGHT event by hashtag starts on September 1st which is where you can find this absolutely adorable new dress and necklace from KiB Designs! The Dakota dress is an exclusive to the event with lots of colors to choose from, which means you are sure to find a favorite! Make sure to pick up the Dakota necklace for ONLY $1L while you are at the event as well. It comes in Light or Dark and goes perfectly with the dress and is a MUST have piece to add to your jewelry box. And check out this adorable new hair from Exile that comes with a Bento edition meaning the little wisps move as you do and with the environment, and I absolutely LOVE it! Of course there are other versions as well that won't bump you over most people's limits into the blob range, so do yourself a favor and head by Exile and try on their new hairs, but make to take a few Linden with you, you will NEED it!

By the way, I ended up finding a new favorite place to spend quiet time on Second Life, and I was so blown away by the intricate beauty of the sim that I had to share it with you all. If you are looking for a place to escape or a little adventure then head over to Abandale. A small town, lost in time, left to fall prey to the sands of time is the perfect place to wander with fantastic details you have to see to believe, so take the taxi and go find some original answers for yourself!

Beauty is eternity. - Featuring Whymsical Marketplace @ Enchantment

When my son was little I spent a lot of time at home and happened to fall in love with TLC and their wedding shows, which is where I first came into contact with the Sari, as fashion, the Hindu religion and the Pakistani culture. I was blown away by the gorgeous fabrics, intricate beading and the vibrant, lively colors; where no sari was like the next. I have always been interested in fashion trends from all over the world and I think the Sari is a versatile garment that can be daily wear, or it can be dressed up for any occasion as well. When talking about fashion on Second Life, role-play is a HUGE part of many peoples lives online, and it is often overlooked by fashion bloggers because it fits a particular niche, and that means so many people don't get to see the amazing designs from the Role-play community creators. So today I wanted to show off this absolutely stunning new design from Whymsical Marketplace, currently available at Enchantment.

The Arabian Nights Maharani gacha features the sari in different colors, for adults and toddledoos, as well as the Scheherazade Headdress, which is a rare. The head piece can be sized upon touch as well as you can change the gem stone color making it a versatile piece of jewelry that I know will be taking up permanent residence in my jewelry box. The fabrics are wonderfully textured with gorgeous color combinations that I am sure will delight you, whether for your next role-play adventure, or if you just happen to love the design as I do! So hurry on over to Enchantment, which runs through the end of the month and check out all the other amazing role-play fashions at the event!

"Are we flying high, Spinning in our time, Living life and loving free?" Kosheen - Featuring Petit Chat, IT! and Fifty Linden Fridays!

No I haven't gotten stuck in a Groundhog Day loop, I realize it's Saturday, but life happened yesterday, so all the goodies I picked up for Fifty Linden Fridays get shown to you today! Isn't that how things happen though? As soon as we think we have time to get something done, just when things start to slow down BOOM up jumps life to put a kink in the works. What you do when life throws these things at you that is important! And since FLF happens EVERY Friday, I can tease you and entice you to joining the group for next's Friday's adventure, and TRUST me, you won't be disappointed. If you have been living under a rock, or perhaps at one of the pole's, or you are new to Second Life, then you NEED to know what Fifty Linden Fridays are! Every Friday a bunch of wonderful creators put out a design or two from their store and offer them for, are you ready, ONLY 50L! You can expect to find goodies from both fashion and home decor creators and these are usually items already for sale in the store, so you aren't picking up pieces that fell off the junk pile so to speak, which is always a plus in my mind. Yesterday's adventure was full of so many lovely surprises that I had to show off a few of my favorites, along with new releases from Petit Chat for The Hidden Chapter and Indulge Temptation for TWE12VE!

Are we flying high Spinning in our time Living life and loving free. - Kosheen - All in My Head

As my readers know, I love the classic fashions that make you think of Audrey Hepburn and the days of the true glitz and glamour of Hollywood, and this GORGEOUS design from Pixicat takes me back to those days and I LOVE the curve hugging design and the Silver, that was up for FLF yesterday, is my favorite, and it happens to go fabulously with new releases from Indulge Temptation (IT!) and Petit Chat!

Are we flying high Spinning in our time Living life and loving free - Featuring Petit Chat, IT! and Fifty Linden Fridays!

Petit Chat has once again created a simple, yet perfect jewelry design with the new Charm bracelets for The Hidden Chapter. The elegant cuff can be changed to fit your mood or ensemble with the amazing HUD that allows you to change the bracelet metal as well as the wires and hinge, meaning you can create one of a kind pieces just for yourself. If you haven't picked up any Petit Chat pieces yet, you should really do yourself a favor and check them out. They are always material enabled and you can customize them until your heart is content with not only the HUD but by editing them. I was a fan long before I became a blogger, so do yourself a favor and head on over to The Hidden Chapter and pick up yours today! And since you are already out shopping then head on over to TWE12VE and check out the magnificent new Peacock set from Indulge Temptation (IT!). The earrings and necklace are expertly designed with perfect textures on several different HUDS, so make sure to check all the options and pick out your favorites and add a few to your jewelry box. Remember most of the items in this post came from Fifty Linden Fridays or other events currently on the grid, so do a search and join the group and I will see you there next Friday!

"Shower me with your love, all of every day." - Featuring Petit Chat and Truth

Today is one of those days that apparently my heart just wants to march to the beat of it's own drummer, with no rhyme or reason, at least not that I can find! And as usual it has me in a bit of an odd mood, but not a bad one, more like playful and whimsical. I'm sure my kids would tell you I am in full smart ass mode, but I of course, am trying to sugar coat it a bit. But life, as it is, has been showing it's ugly face and a long time ago I decided to meet these moments with levity and a wry sense of humor, while at the same time, being in the arms of the man I love, surrounded by my kids and friends is where I long to be. That place where all the stress melts away for a few moments and you can simply breathe with those who know you best. A time to close your eyes, take a long deep breath and let their love rain down on you.

Butterfly

In my mother's house
There's a photograph
Of a day gone past
Always makes me laugh
There's a little girl
Wary of the world
She got much to learn
Get her fingers burned
An affinity
Between you and me
Cause we're family
Said that I'd be fine
Give me all your time
And I left your side
Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the red rose sun
Shine on me
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
Would you live your life
Like a butterfly

In my mother's house
There was happiness
I wrapped my myself in it
Was my chrysalis
As my life unfolds
See a pattern through
Of you protecting me
And I protecting you
What was that you'd say
Make your own mistakes
And when you're grown
Make sure that you remain the same
Now I realise
What was on your mind
When I left your side
Like a butter fly

Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the red rose sun
Shine on me
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
Give me life
Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the red rose sun
Shine on me
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
Give me life
Like a butterfly

If you are a little bit of a bohemian like I am, or you love flirty, feminine accessories, then you seriously need to hurry over to the current round of The Chapter Four and pick up this beautiful new headband from Petit Chat. The Abigail Headband comes with a HUD with 8 options on 5 parts. As usual every part of this design can be customized to fit your mood or ensemble and make sure to check out the notecard in your package about further customization techniques. The textures are expertly done and with the amount of choices on the HUD it is incredibly versatile, making it a wonderful addition to every accessory collection! And if you haven't noticed, there is a trend towards having Styling HUDS that come with different hairs, offering different styles in one purchase, which for me, is absolutely NEEDED! I have fallen in love with the newest release from Truth @ Uber and all the styles you can choose just by buying one hair, so hurry over and check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed!

"Eyes on fire, Your spine is ablaze, Felling any foe with my gaze." Featuring the new Powder Pack release and Persefona

I started blogging to fill the gap created when I became disabled and no longer could work a traditional job, and because it gave me the chance to dip my feet back into the fashion and interior design worlds I had been separated from for years. At one point I was trying to blog for too many creators and it became a bit overwhelming, to be honest, and no longer served it's purpose of relieving stress and helping me to feel like I still could contribute to society. When my health took a turn for the worse I made the hard decision to step away from some of my blogging responsibilities and with that has come a sense of freedom. I have more time to concentrate on each and every photo and post, giving me the ability to better promote those who have chosen me to represent them with my blog. And with this freedom I have finally been able to work on my photo and editing skills, and with this has come recognition from artists I have followed and admired. Though I was never really looking for it, because as I said, I blog for my sponsors and I, and as long as they love what I do, I am content. But to see my photos soaring over a thousand views and hundreds of likes makes my heart burst with joy, because it means other people appreciate the artwork I create, and often times follow my blog, allowing them to also follow my real life, not just the fashion and decor of Second Life. The passion I originally started with has returned in abundance and I continue to watch and read tutorials about photography and photoshop, furthering my knowledge and allowing my art to grow.

One of the hardest things for me over the years in regards to photography on Second Life was the close up photo. Before I had my good computer everything got choppy up close, and since I couldn't render materials, I could never show off jewelry or makeup very well and it broke my heart. Once I did an upgrade on the computer I suddenly could do things I had never dreamed of with my photos and the settings on Second Life, but still the great close up alluded me. Everything always looked disproportionate and out of focus and I continued to struggle. After reading a few photo tutorials and learning a bit more about Firestorm I suddenly had perfectly proportioned, clear close ups and could show off jewelry and makeup like I had always wanted to, and this photo is a perfect example!

Eyes on Fire - August Powder Pack - LeLutka

Eyes on Fire - August Powder Pack - LeLutka

August 1st marked the release of the Powder Pack for LeLutka August edition and I had been dying to dive into the boxes, but my schedule hadn't permitted that until yesterday. This is probably my favorite pack since I started getting them, so I know they are expensive but do yourself a favor and go grab one, or make sure to reserve the next one, because you won't ever be disappointed. Today I am showing off gorgeous new eyes from Avi Glam, fresh new skin from Essences, and makeup from Zibska, Arise, and OHeMO. One of the things I love the most about the last full month of Summer, is the trend towards a redheads colour palette! It's the time of year when the palettes meet and meld together in some of the most spectacular of ways and I absolutely fell in love with this combination! As always Zibska has released perfect eye shadows that remind me of the sunsets in Arizona. The colours are blended well and I love the sparkles and shine, especially combined with this subtle brown lipstick from Arise. As most of you know, I have been an IKON eye addict, and I truly have never worn anything else because I love the shine and wide variety of colours. Avi Glam has blown me away with the Lure eyes, a new release for the August LeLutka Power Pack, with their gorgeous shine, fabulous colour choices and fantastic HUD to change the colours, size, and depth, making them incredibly versatile and you can bet I will be heading over to check out more eye releases!

One of the thing photographers often have happen in real life, are bokeh lights. They occur a lot around water and where there are lights and reflections and can add depth and shine to your Second Life photos, but they have to be added after through an editing program. Persefona has released a Bokeh Photography gacha set for the latest round of Cosmopolitan and I loved playing with them via the hud, changing their glow and size allowing me to create the lighting for this photo without having to add them via after effects. All photographers need to add this to their box of prop goodies, you won't be disappointed, and you can bet I will be avidly watching Persefona from now on! I hope you enjoy this look and this month's Powder Pack as much as I did and have fun shopping!

"Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's alright The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change. Don't you think it's strange?"

For the past couple of weeks it feels like I have had very little time to recharge my batteries with all the running around for the boys and I for doctors and insurance, and trying to coordinate the work on our home, which is STILL in complete disarray. The four of us have been sharing a bathroom now since the beginning of June and we are all starting to get a bit tired of each other with all the waiting and bathroom schedule that should probably be hung on the fridge. When I have had any time at all, I have disappeared into blog posts and music as a bit of a "calgon" escape, but in all honesty it's just not enough. I am sure the boyfriend feels the same as all he has done is work from sun up til sun down recently with everything we have going on, and I know our minds keep returning to our vacation in June and wishing we could once again runaway for a few days. When everything gets hectic and you don't even seem to have time to do the simplest things, you sometimes just have to MAKE the time to relax and unwind, because if you don't, the stress can become overwhelming. So today I have had Corinne Bailey Ray playing through the speakers a bit loudly and I can feel the weight of my world finally starting to lift from my shoulders. So do yourself a favor today, and put your records on and play your favorite tune.

I have to be honest when I say that I had not originally intended to blog this ensemble since it immediately went into the "Jadey Daily" folder as it perfectly fits the mood I was attempting to put myself into, but I just couldn't resist since it consists of brand new goodies from some of the top up and coming designers on the grid, as well as some of your favorite go to creators. Over the past couple of months I have been impressed with the releases from Desmonia and I was completely blown away with this new Boho ensemble for Glam Couture, which ends today. The incredible HUD gives you lots of choices in colors and design for the top and skirt, meaning you are sure to find the perfect one to fit your mood! And OMG check out this tattoo from Lush! The Dream Catchers tattoo runs along the whole body, back and front with amazing Native influenced designs, including a beautiful dream catcher in the center of the back. This is definitely a MUST have addition to your skin art collection so hurry on over to Twe12ve to pick it up before the event ends. And of course, Truth has again added a hair that I just HAD to have! It comes with a styling HUD as well as a hat making it incredibly versatile! So if you are looking to relax in boho style hurry off and grab these pieces and join me in couture relaxation!

"Put Your Records On"
Corinne Bailey Ray

Three little birds sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

It's going to be a long hot summer with sun, sex and the sea!

As the first week of July comes to an end, the garden is in full bloom, the sun is high in the sky and those of us in the Southwest are praying to the powers that be for our monsoon season to start. Our water bill is through the roof and I think the air conditioner is tired since it's making an odd noise, and the dust is seriously out of control! I am ready for the skies to open up and soak the brown landscape giving life to it once again. As you can guess, with the desert showing it's evil side lately, I have been venturing to the beaches of Second Life hoping to convince my brain that I'm not actually turning into a raisin this Summer, and as I relaxed in new goodies I picked up shopping, a photo came together and I am FINALLY able to share with you the Summer Stuffs gatcha collection from Petit Chat!

This adorable collection with starfish, shells and tags with the Sun, Sex, Sea anthem is perfect for your Summer wardrobe with the versatile HUD's, meaning it just HAS to make it's way into your jewelry box! But you are going to have to head over to Project 7 and spend ONLY 47L a pull to grab the pieces of this collection! There are 24 commons and 3 rares, with the rare necklace being featured above. Each piece is incredibly well made with an amazing attention to detail, ensuring each piece goes with the others in the collection. There are decor items, sandals and a bracelet not featured here as well as shell earrings and a choker, so hurry over to Project 7 by the 20th of July to get your hands on your perfect Summer jewelry.

"Must be nice being flawless." - IT!, ArcaneSpellcasterAK Creations, DaneMarkZ, FaMESHed, Swank

Have you ever had a friend misunderstand you so badly that it pretty much ends a friendship? While the strings that have held you together for years start to fall away, you sit, still stunned, because you never had any intention of hurting their feelings? I may be a weaver of words, but when things become emotional I become mute, especially when I have upset someone unintentionally. After a couple of months I have come to realize that not everyone, even those you thought were closest to you, will understand you all the time. We all get caught up in our own worlds and have a tendency to not step outside the box and do "others" thinking, as I call it. You have to identify the situation someone is in before you judge, and see it from the point of view of the person you have an issue with, but this rarely happens, and it's sad when assumptions become the rule not the exception. When all has been said and done and you are at peace with your side of things, all you can do is wait and see what the future holds and hope for the best because friendships are worth saving, not losing over a misunderstanding.

"Emotional"

Getting lost, don't know what side

In my mind where no one can go
Think I'm losing my cool, woah

Oh, oh, oh
On my way off the rails, I
Don't pretend like I'm perfect too
As I fear being too old
Oh, oh, oh
Ten times, ten times I said
Ring me as it's on my mind
Our fears get magnified
And my fault is only natural

But I get emotional
Not we are
And I get emotional
But I'm not supposed to let it show
But I get emotional
Not we are
And I get emotional
But I'm not supposed to let it show

Must be nice being flawless
Pull me tight when you got it all out the way
Just don't let down your guard, no

Oh, oh, oh
On my way off the rails, I
Don't pretend like I'm perfect too
As I fear being too old
Oh, oh, oh
Ten times, ten times I said
Ring me as it's on my mind
Our fears get magnified
And my fault is only natural

Chess like kings and queens above all - Virtual Diva

I am feeling a bit feisty today, and I am not quite sure why, other than the weather has once again turned towards Spring and I am looking quite forward to it's rather late arrival. The garden has been planted for a bit now with the more resilient plants and next week all the baby plants in the kitchen window get to find their way into the soil, but not before the fence is finished so the rabbits can stop running off with my baby Rhubarb and Swiss Chard! And of course as the temperatures rise we have a tendency to shed layers and start revealing more skin, and if you are looking for an ensemble that goes from the runway to the beach then look no further than this amazing ensemble from Virtual Diva, currently at Swank!

The Delirium ensemble comes with the headpiece add-on and the hip flowers as well as the daring swimsuit that reveals just enough, but not very much! I loved the fit on this suit especially as I walked and posed and it didn't break or stretch the wrong way, but be careful when posing the hip pieces might need to be moved. The textures are wonderfully done on the roses and I love the edgy, Summer runway feel of this ensemble, and I am hoping you all do too, because this seriously needs to make its way into your closet!

Lately I have fallen in love with Nanika tattoos, and this has to be my favorite! I picked it up a couple months ago but make sure to check out current events for other amazing pieces, I know I will be grabbing them as soon as my wallet can afford it! Trust me, you won't be disappointed when you see all the fabulous designs.

Say you won't let go - Featuring Marquesse, Powder Pack, SlackGirl, Pink Fuel, Izzie's

Lately I have been starting to walk/hike again and it seems that everyday I want to be outside more and more, making my journeys longer, which has me feeling better than I have in months. Whether a short walk after dinner, or a few miles in the morning or a weekend adventure, I have been enjoying Spring as it starts to blanket the mountains of Arizona. While the mountains are still crowned in snow, down below the trees are in bloom and wild flowers are starting to peek their heads above the soil, and it is a perfect time to be out and about. The desire for fluffy green grass and flowers has translated to a complete transformation of my land, including a completely empty home, since it seems I have no desire to be inside on SL as well as in my RL, but it does happen to give me a space to take photos, and that makes me quite happy! As I was unpacking my newest goodies I came across this adorable new dress from [Marquesse] for Fashion Dazzle, with the wonderfully constructed and textured Butterfly heels, the ensemble is perfect for those Spring days out on the grid.

The Butterfly dress from [Marquesse] is just plain adorable and is wonderfully constructed as well. The dress comes in a variety of colors at Fashion Dazzle, with matching shoes available at Shoe-ddiction, so make sure you stop by both events and pick up yours today, and while there I have a feeling you will be doing some other shopping, so keep those Lindens out!

One of the things I love the most about makeup on Second Life is the fact that it can change your appearance by so much, that if you have a wide variety, you rarely need more than a couple skins. Today is a perfect example! I have been raving about the Powder Pack, LeLutka addition and this post will be no different. SlackGirl has three new releases for the pack and I am completely in LOVE with each one, including the Smokelady shadow I am wearing here. Each shadow and liner are expertly created with gorgeous colors and an exceptional attention to detail. They blend well and the colors are to die for, as are the Nude Glosses from Pink Fuel. They come in a wide variety of shades to choose from from light to dark and all the shades in between, so do yourself a favor and head by the Powder Pack location and pick yourself up one of the packs for either Catwa or LeLutka, trust me you will NOT be disappointed!
