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 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!

I don't want to settle for good not great. Featuring Hudson's, Desmonia, and Powder Pack

Making relationships last takes a lot of work on both parts. But it's that commitment to doing the work, I think, that is the foundation for a good relationship. Even when things get bad, and the stress levels are approaching overload; when you are struggling to like each other, the commitment to making it, together, is what makes you stronger, as a couple. But I think sometimes we lose sight of why we fell in love in the first place, and that we all need a little reminding from time to time.

Remind Me

We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you

Now we keep saying that we're OK
But I don't want to settle for good not great
I miss the way that it felt back then
I wanna feel that way again

Been so long that you'd forget
The way I used to kiss your neck
Remind me, remind me
So on fire, so in love
Way back when we couldn't get enough
Remind me, remind me

Remember the airport dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop
I felt bad cause you missed your flight
But that meant we had one more night

Do you remember how it used to be
We'd turn out the lights and didn't just sleep
Remind me baby remind me

Oh so on fire so in love
That look in your eyes that I miss so much
Remind me, baby remind me

I wanna feel that way
Yeah I wanna hold you close
Oh if you still love me
Don't just assume I know

Oh baby remind me, remind me

Do you remember the way it felt?
You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves
Remind me, yeah remind me

All those things that you used to do
That made me fall in love with you
Remind me, oh baby remind me

Yeah you'd wake up in my old t-shirt
All those mornings I was late for work
Remind me, oh baby remind me yeah
Oh baby remind me baby remind me

"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.

"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
