Seasons Change

One thing you can always count on in this life is change.  No matter how much we try to avoid it or run from it, change is inevitable.  Whether it be a friendship, a relationship or just the seasons.  As I wandered through the grid yesterday, I realized that while I wasn't looking, change had once again happened all around me.  The sims have turned from the gorgeous hues of Autumn to the cold, crisp tones of Winter.  The stark landscapes illuminated by the lights from inside where hot cocoa is made and families gather to celebrate the changing of the seasons and the upcoming holidays.  One thing that hasn't changed today though, is the fact that there are a number of events happening around the grid that you should go and check out!

Vogue's Fall Fest is in full swing, and if you haven't been by yet, you are missing an amazing shopping experience.  The sim is decorated for the seasons with over 60 designers bringing you new and exclusive items through December 1st.  And don't forget, each creator has a gift for 10L or under, even more of an incentive to run on over!  If I haven't tempted you enough, let me try again!

INVADER offers up this adorable Bear Hoodie in a variety of colors, and textures for you to pick from, and of course I just fell in love with the "Panda" version!  The hood fits perfectly over this hair, and I tried it with a few others and it is made quite well, leaving enough room for a lot of hairs to fit under it.  And of course, YumZ has released the "Nikki Solid Leggings" for the Fall Fest as well, and they fit PURRfectly under the hoodie!  I was quite pleased with the over all look, and just had to toss on my favorite "Cozies" socks from Reign to complete the outfit!

Hand Tattoo - Elska - The Last Flower @ Sad November

If you have seen my running around the grid lately, you have spotted this tattoo on my hands, which I just can't seem to stop wearing!  "The Last Flower" by Elska is available with a whole bunch of appliers currently at Sad November.  The details are perfect on the hand and wrist and are faded without looking unnatural.  Truly, my favorite tattoo I have found recently.  If you haven't discovered Entwined Hair yet, then you are missing out on a wonderful new creator.  The Rebeccah hair, pictured here, lies perfectly and I adore the color selections available, so hurry on over and pick yourself up a few new, stylish and current hairs!

Took a moment to bask in the fading light of the evening with a cup of hot cocoa at Nordan om Jordan.  The sim is absolutely gorgeous and I took some time to explore all the little paths and thoroughly enjoyed my stay, so wander on over and take a look for yourself.   The seasons are changing and a very busy time of year is upon us, it is time for everyone to take a deep breath and appreciate everything around them.  Embrace the change and hold fast to the thought that everything always changes, so that if today looks a little bleak, tomorrow may very well bring the change you have been looking for!

Have a wonderfully wicked Tuesday and happy shopping!

Only a Busy Signal

Don't you just miss being able to take the phone off the hook and disappear for a little bit?  What I wouldn't give to have a "Do Not Disturb" sign for life.  With so many events and special sales etc happening on the grid, it is a busy time for everyone.  There is always one more phone call, one more post to do, one more event to attend, one more re-opening to make an appearance at and sometimes, you just want to leave the phone off the hook.

Vogue's Fall Fest has been going on for a couple of days now and if you haven't been by you really should!  Over 60 designers with new and exclusive releases for the event AND everyone has a gift available for a max of $10L.  So what are you waiting for?  More reasons to go?  Well then you are in luck because this amazing outfit is from Bougie.  The Affiance Leather outfit is available in several colors and it is very well made.  Textures are fantastic as is the attention to detail on the front and not to mention this is the ONLY mesh skirt panel I have ever found that fits PERFECTLY!    I was incredibly impressed and is one reason why I will be checking Bougie out more often!

Check out these boots!  Just fantastic, and they happen to be another release from Bougie for Vogue Fall Fest.  The Jazzy boots have an amazing HUD that makes them pretty much go with any color you can think of, and the metals change from silver to gold as well.  So now you have your reasons, hurry on over to Vogue's Fall Fest!  

Have a wonderfully wicked rest of the week and happy shopping!

Cozy Nights

If you are looking for something to do tonight, make sure you put on your group tag and wander through the Fifty Linden Friday (Group) stores for all kinds of goodies!  Just had to show off a few, and of course my newest faves from FaMeshed and Sad November as well!

This fantastic dress from Zenith is available at FaMeshed right now and comes in a whole variety of colors so that everyone can find their perfect match!  The length really helps it be a dress or it can be paired with leggings as well for an almost retro 80's look, if you happen to remember the big sweater and leggings fad, like I do.  The necklace, is sold with the sweater in complimentary colors, so make sure to grab one!  I love that little fishy and it is a very versatile piece.  Both the sweater and the necklace are very well made, although, your legs will break through if your avatar moves around a lot.  It didn't bother me that much since I have been out wandering the grid in this outfit today, since it really only happens in the back.  Check out those SHOES!  So adorable!  A great little find at Junbug for FLF.  They are available in two colors, the "Original" is pictured here, but there is also a Ruby red pair for 50L as well.  I am not always a fan of Glam Affair skins, but today....I just might have changed my mind.  This GORGEOUS skin is available for 50L for FLF today ONLY!  So hurry on over, the appliers for Slink hands and feet are reasonably priced at 95L each, so if it is your first Glam Affair skin, make sure to grab them before heading off for your next destination!  The Firewood Storage Bench, that is hiding a bit, and the Branch Wrapped Candles are Sway's contribution for today's FLF, and I absolutely adore them both!

 Sad November absolutely blew my mind, AND my pocket book!  Just a couple items to show from there at the moment, but make sure to stay tuned!  I love this tattoo from Elska, "Last Flower."  It comes with every applier you could want or need, and is clear and perfectly detailed.  I have been looking for a feminine yet, bold hand tattoo and this one is perfect!
