"You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep." - Featuring Virtual Diva and YS&YS

I know there are a million bazillion songs that have been written that I could search through when I am on a particular topic; and I know some bloggers obsess on never repeating tunes, but sometimes I just can't help myself. Personally I have decided that if it can go on replay for an hour or so, then it can get another play on the blog. When I took this photo today I was hoping I could find a windlight that would help me capture the mood I was in, and when clicking through the hundreds I have recently downloaded, this appeared, I didn't adjust it, or tweek it all, because it was PERFECT, and so were Owl City's Fireflies flitting around in my mind.

"Fireflies"

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)

[2x]
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep

In case you missed my post earlier this month featuring the newest releases from Virtual Diva for Swank, I wanted to make sure you saw this absolutely fabulous new, original headpiece design for the Reborn dress, and the gorgeous flowing curls of the Dream hair. Swank is closing it's doors and sweeping up its floors for the month so you will probably have to check both locations in the next few days to grab them, but trust me you won't be disappointed if you have to wait! This hair is to die for, and since I happen to have curls almost exactly like this in real life, I have started wearing this hair when I am out and about, or just relaxing at home. The colors and textures are wonderfully done and it comes in two sizes to accommodate our mesh heads. It is a must have if you love curls so make sure to check out the store this week.

The theme for Swank was Summer fun this last round and Virtual Diva released the Reborn dress that happens to come with this amazing head piece. I love the organic flow and daring design that doesn't just go with the dress, it can be a wonderful accent piece to any Summer ensemble, adding a bit of flair and mystique, so go check out the store this week, I promise you will be amazed!

"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

Dance Right HERE! Featuring Virtual Diva @ Swank!

I had an idea for the name of this post as I was doing it, and then well, you know how I am with music, and a song playing on Spotify ended up on repeat and I decided to share! My feet were dancing under the computer chair and I was bouncing along to the tune and though the song is about a pair of shoes that start the dancing, I decided that this dress from Virtual Diva made me feel the same way and I just wanted to start dancing around on the platform. I am glad no one logged in to see me up there being a nut but it was a much needed stress break! I think in the hustle and bustle of things in life we often forget to take some time and just blow off some steam. Whether it's a bit of heavy metal or simply bursting out in dance, as we get older we stop taking the time to do these things and it seriously stresses us out! Think about the days when you used to just take off and drive with no particular destination in mind, just to clear your head? The stereo up so loud to drown out the noise of the stress in your own head? Or dancing around the kitchen to the latest pop song on the kids radio, using the spatula as a microphone, hoping the kids don't come around the corner and catch you? We all need these moments in life, and today I am in NEED! So come along with me and just get up and dance where ever you are!

**Song is Dance Right Here by JT Hodges on Spotify, it's not on youtube yet!

Some journeys lead you down roads never expected - Petit Chat & Del Alba Creations

On the 9th of June my man and I took off for ten days to Washington to attend his daughter's graduation from college. Neither of us had ever been to that part of the country, so we were more than excited to start our journey, but where it led neither of us ever expected. For those of you who have been following me for a while now, you know I suffer from a lovely cocktail of autoimmune issues including Lupus, which has kept me home for over a decade now with pain, muscle and other body issues. When we landed in Seattle I didn't think much about the fact that I wasn't in much pain, but when I woke the next morning after sleeping on a crappy mattress and I didn't hurt, I started to think maybe my adrenaline was going or that my brain had just turned on the endorphins knowing I still had a car ride left to go before we were finally at our destination. By day two of not really hurting, just a few aches and muscles that needed stretched and miles of walking in the beautiful Washington air along the coastline, we were convinced the altitude of Flagstaff was truly effecting me negatively. My heart didn't act up the entire time we were away, my blood pressure wasn't high, I didn't need my pain pills and my man and I got to do things together, instead of me staying put while he ventured off hiking. After returning home I ended up terribly sick for two weeks and my heart is once again acting up and the pain is back, so our eyes have turned to moving to Washington, which was the furthest thing from our minds when we set out on this journey, and now all roads are leading that direction and to new opportunities.

With new opportunities and new journeys on my mind I logged on yesterday to finally get back to blogging and found the perfect combination in the boxes from Petit Chat and Del Alba Creations. The 7th annual Beached Bunny Hunt, from Evil Bunny Productions, begins on July 3rd, which is where you can pick up this absolutely stunning swimsuit from Del Alba Creations. The Richelle swimsuit comes in a wide variety of sizes for mesh bodies, including one for Maitreya, featured above. I love the gorgeous blues pattern and the little details on the side and the tie in the front. If you are as picky as I am about swimsuits then do yourself a favor and go grab this during the hunt for ONLY $1L! You can't beat that price!

My grandmother used to always tell me that if I was wanting to change my destination in life to wear an anchor, so when I saw the newest release from Petit Chat a smile immediately broke out across my face and I immediately donned the amazing new anchor and shells necklace and earrings. Each piece is HUD driven with several textures to choose from for the metals and the starfish and shells on the anchor, making it an incredibly versatile set that just HAS to make it into your jewelry box. The "A Summer of Betty" collection has been released for the newest round of InspirationSL that started on June 17th inspired by Betty Boop and her love of fashion! As usual the details and texturing are fabulous on the necklace and earrings with oodles of combinations to be created with the HUD. So if you love anchors, or just gorgeous jewelry then do yourself a favor and head on over to the event and pick yours up today! And maybe you too will be inspired to take a journey and see where the road leads, I promise it won't always be where you expected!

"Candles burning, lights are turning low" - Virtual Diva, DaneMarkZ

As the majority of my readers know, I often times have songs playing through my head as I put a post together and today is no exception, it just happens to be a song that I don't think needs any particular discussion, as the mood I think is pretty apparent. I love when I get to show off those things usually kept behind closed doors and this new set of lingerie from DaneMarkZ is no exception. With its delicate lace detailing and wonderful curve enhancing lines this is the PERFECT addition to your lingerie collection, and that special someone will thank you, so head on over to Designer Showcase, pick up your favorite color, head home, get ready and make a call inviting someone on over to your place.

If you haven't had the chance to stop by FaMESHed for their 5th Anniversary celebration, then you are truly missing out on a fabulous event with all kinds of gifts to pick up, and while you are there grabbing a few things, make sure to check out this truly stunning jewelry collection from Cae. The Karina collection comes complete with Earrings, Necklace and Bracelets meaning you can wear them all or mix and match with all your favorite gowns, dresses, or lingerie when you are wanting to make a statement.

The pose today comes from LUSH Poses and it's called "Always on my mind" and comes with pose balls as well as regular poses with mirrors as well, so you can pose where you need to, making it an incredibly versatile pose that I think belongs in everyone's bag of goodies! And now that I have tantalized you with tempting lingerie and gorgeous jewels I am off to decorate a scene for you all, hoping I can get it together before the day ends, so enjoy shopping!

"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.

Quiet Eyes - Petit Chat, Tableau Vivant, Amara Beauty, Studio Exposure

I hope all the Mom's out there had a wonderful day yesterday and that everyone had a great weekend. I had an absolutely fantastic weekend with my family and my best friend spent in the outdoors doing work on the garden and the yard in general. For the last year I have talked about wanting to put trees on our land, but it never seemed to be the right time. Saturday I was surprised when we took off to the local Home Depot and I got to pick out two trees! If you happen to be one of those people who live where a Weeping Cherry is common then I envy you, because I couldn't ever have enough of them; and on the other side of the yard a HUGE Purple Plum now resides as well. I have always wanted to live some where I could have a garden and fruit trees, a place where we could be self sufficient and sustainable, and now I can see this dream coming to fruition, though I had to wait until 45 to get it! As the sun set last night on a very long, but prosperous weekend I looked out over the fruits of our labors with quiet eyes, and I was thankful for my life.

If you haven't been by The Avenue this month yet then you really should stop by and check it out, there are tons of amazing goodies to get your hands on, including these adorable new earrings from Petit Chat! These earrings are incredibly well designed with an amazing attention to detail and a plethora of textures to choose from with the fabulous HUD! I just had to take a photo of it to show you all the choices you get as an incentive to head on over to the event, if the picture above wasn't enough?!

As always you will find the earrings for an affordable price considering the time it took to craft them, so do yourself a favor and add these adorable little eggs to your jewelry box today and add a little whimsy to your life!

I'm gonna show you crazy! - Featuring Tameless, Glam Affair, IT!

Thankfully SL decided to let me log on long enough to get you all the information for my post today, which means I got all excited and immediately switched windows excited to blog and suddenly found myself faced with another round of writer's block. It is starting to get a bit frustrating, especially when I don't get to blog that much anymore! So while I was waiting I happened to stumble into a discussion with my best friend about the word "crazy", and how it can often spur people to act a bit nuts just to spite those who think they have gone off their rocker! With the very edgy feel of this new hair from Tameless, last months release from Glam Affair for PowderPack, and of course the new necklace from IT!, the discussion fit, and the perfect tune started to play through my head, which means I just had to put it on repeat for a few and then share with you!

There's a war inside my head
Sometimes I wish that I was dead, I'm broken
So I call this therapist
And she said, "Girl, you can't be fixed just take this."

I'm tired of trying to be normal
I'm always over-thinking
I'm driving myself crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy?

And I don't need your quick fix
I don't want your prescriptions
Just 'cause you say I'm crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy?
Yeah, I'm gonna show you

Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
Mental out my brain, bat shit, go insane,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you
Yeah, I'm gonna show you

I've been searching city streets
Trying to find the missing piece like you said
And I searched hard only to find,
There's not a single thing that's wrong with my mind

Yeah, I'm tired of tryna be normal
I'm always over-thinking
Driving myself crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy?

And I don't need your quick fix
I don't want your prescriptions
Just 'cause you say I'm crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy?

I'm gonna show you

Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
Mental out my brain, bat shit, go insane,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you

Hearts on fire

It happens to be one of those days where I can't seem to find my words since my mind is in such a jumble. For the last couple of months the schools in Flagstaff, one in particular, have been the target of what I would call school terrorism. Notes have been found talking of school shootings etc, with dates and targets, and it has everyone on edge. For the second day in a row, my son's girl friends school has gone into shutdown under threats and more notes found and I find my brain isn't on work as much as it is on the safety of not only my own children but all of those effected by these circumstances. We all have drawn a bit closer in the last few days and I am in contact more frequently with my man, basically pulling my family close to me like the mother hen I am. So excuse me for not having much to say the past few days, my mind is occupied with all kinds of things right now, which means anything I write turns into a jumbled mess. So enjoy the song, and check out these amazing new releases from Hudson's, Tameless, Essences and more!

Lyrics:
well i don't know how and i don't know why
but when something's living well you can't say die
you feel like laughing but you start to cry
i don't know how and i don't know why

well i don't have many and i don't have much
in fact i don't have any but i've got enough
'cos i know those eyes and i know that touch
i don't have many and i don't have much

but oh darling my hearts on fire
oh darling my hearts on fire
oh darling my hearts on fire
for you

well i don't know where and i don't know when
but i know we'll be lovers again
i'll see you some day before the end
i don't know where and i don't know when

oh darling my hearts on fire
oh darling my hearts on fire
oh darling my hearts on fire

you know those love songs will break your heart
you know those love songs will break your heart
you know those love songs will break your heart

oh darling my hearts on fire

Little bit of devil in her angel eyes - Featuring Virtual Diva, Swank, Zibska, Powder Pack

"Angel Eyes"

She likes whiskey with her water
She starts dancing when the stars come out
She ain’t your typical preacher’s daughter
She’ll leave you dreamin’ yeah there ain’t no doubt

There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes
She’s a little bit of heaven with a wild side
Got a rebel heart a country mile wide
There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes
A little bit of devil in her angel eyes

Saturday night she’s rockin’ out by the bonfire
Flirting from that tail gate and crankin’ up the dial
Come Sunday mornin’ she’ll be singing with the choir
Drivin’ me crazy with that kiss me smile

There’s a little bit of devil in those angel eyes
She’s a little bit of heaven with a wild side
Got a rebel heart a country mile wide
There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes
There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes

And I can’t stop wonderin’ what it would feel like, to hold her all night
She’s got that something, that sexy innocence, she must be heaven sent

There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes
She’s a little bit of heaven with a wild side
Got a rebel heart a country mile wide
There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes

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!

Bourbon in your eyes - Featuring IT! and Powder Pack - LeLutka!

The past week has run away from me and I seriously don't know how. Life has a tendency to speed by while we are waiting for something to happen. As promised, once I managed to get online again, I opened my delivery from Powder Pack and just had to show off a few things!

I couldn't believe how many designers have gotten involved with Powder Pack, and I was delighted to see so many appliers, including lips, eye shadows, freckles, eyebrows, and entire skins! I went through every item before I settled on my look for today, featuring *YS&YS*, #adored, and Izzie's. The skin from *YS&YS* is available in different tones and the HUD is amazing, giving you lots of options, including the brows. The skin is very well done with perfect shading on the neck, under arms and groin area, with great attention paid to the detailing on the face. If you are looking for shiny shadows and lips, then you will love the releases from Izzie's for the LeLutka pack. They come in tons of different colors and tones, making them incredibly versatile. You can totally change the look of a skin with makeup, which is always a good thing, considering how much appliers can be. I have never tried other lashes on my LeLutka head, other than the ones that come with it, so I was excited when I saw lashes from #adored, giving me yet another new look! The lashes come in different designs and fit perfectly on the head, even after lots of adjustments on my Bento head, so do yourself a favor and head over to Powder Pack and pick up the LeLutka addition, or reserve the next Catwa pack, I promise you will NOT be disappointed!

The Avenue is currently running, which is where you can find these gorgeous designs from IT!, at 35% off, which means you just HAVE to stop by and add these pieces to your jewelry box. The Aura Ear Cuffs have an amazing HUD where you can change the metals and gemstones, the same with the necklace, and they can also be resized via the HUD as well, just make sure to put on, and resize each piece individually because the HUD's have a tendency to interact with each other. I absolutely adore the beaded necklace, by the way, with the multitude of options to design the perfect piece for whatever ensemble you happen to be wearing, and I truly believe everyone needs pieces like this in all their jewelry boxes!

Not sure these boots were the right choice for a ride, but I am sure to get some attention! - Marquesse, Level Up!, Salacity

Today is one of the few days I have had time to be at the computer enough to do two blog posts, and of course that has nothing to do with it being the end of the month, and again I am behind. Beginning to think I need to drop a few sponsors as I continue to deal without having net at home and having to commute into town to blog. Which of course is the last thing I want to do, since I spent years getting to where I was happy with who I was blogging for etc., but it seems to be something I am going to have to do, since I feel like I am letting so many people down along the way. Including the amazing creators of Marquesse, who I happen to have not gotten to blog much of in the past couple of months, and I feel I have neglected them, so today I wanted to show off the exclusive release for the Women's Stuff Hunt which begins April 1st.

Feeling a bit rebellious? Love to show off those assets? Then do yourself a favor and head by Marquesse's main store tomorrow as the hunt starts and be one of the first to pick up this adorable ensemble. The jacket, shorts and boots are exclusively for the Maitreya body, so make sure you know what you are grabbing before spending the time looking for the item in the store. I will say though, I have on my Slink Feet and the boots fit over them perfectly as well as over my Maitreya thighs, which means I was quite pleased! Though this doesn't exactly fit my normal style, but it is always fun to put on a bit of a character and think about what they would be doing! And I think Jade is about to venture out onto the grid in this revealing ensemble to get some attention, so if this fits into your life, do yourself a favor and head over and grab yours!

It would be impossible for Jade to head out on a ride if this adorable bike hadn't been created by Salacity poses! The bike comes with a color changer as well as different poses on the bike, giving it life! I love the classic styling and the attention to detail is amazing, so go check it out as soon as the next round of Level Up! opens, I promise it will be worth the trip!

Feeling a bit G L A M O R OUS! - Virtual Diva @ Swank, Nord Embel'Lys, No.Match

The month of March is almost over which means this round of Swank will soon be coming to an end, and you are going to miss out on some of the most stunning and truly glamorous designs on the grid, including this gorgeous gown from Virtual Diva!

For those of you who have been following my blog for awhile, then you know I LOVE to play dress up, especially in those designs with a nod to the glamorous old Hollywood style. This round truly appeals to that side of me and I have fallen completely in love with the Elite Gown from the creative mind behind Virtual Diva. The gown comes in several sizes that fit most mesh bodies and the add-on for the chest has a menu upon touch to reposition, rotate and resize, making it very easy to fit and you will turn heads wherever you go. Before my three month absence I had started to take note of the work of Nord Embel'Lys jewelry due to the high quality of the design and textures, and since my return I have been blown away by the pieces I have seen.

The La Reine Celte Set - White Gold collection includes a head circlet (not shown), crown (not shown, earrings, necklace, bracelets, and a ring, making it an incredibly versatile set that just MUST find a home in your jewelry box today. Make sure to check out all the other amazing jewels available at the store. You can count on every piece being incredibly well designed with wonderful textures that sparkle and shine, perfect for any moment where you get to put on a beautiful gown and head out onto the grid, you are sure to make a Hollywoodesque entrance.

Pardon Me! - Arcane SpellcasterAK-Creations, IT!, Tameless, Dark Passions

After a long 11 days away for Spring Break with the kids, the youngest turning 18 and a few other bumps and glitches, including considering walking away from blogging, I returned yesterday with a bit of a better attitude, which I needed to unpack all of the stuff I have gotten behind on in the last two weeks! As the blossoms start to swell on the trees here in the mountains, and the temperatures soar into the 70's, I was delighted to see all of the new Spring releases from so many creators, including this adorable ensemble from *Arcane Spellcaster*AK-Creations. The Callia outfit comes in sizes and appliers for all your favorite bodies and I am sure you will love the fit and the detailing along the top and body of the bodysuit as well as the gorgeous round rump in these jeans!

Due to my three month long absence, I haven't had a chance to blog many of the creations from IT! so I got all excited when I saw the newest jewelry design went perfectly with this ensemble! The Luxury Collection is exclusively at this cycle of Designer Circle, which happens to be the 150th round, bringing you all kinds of goodies for this anniversary round, including this wonderful set. The necklace, bracelets and earrings come with HUD's to control the metals and gems, making it an incredibly versatile set that just has to be added to your jewelry box today! And if you happen to love to change your nail polish with every outfit like I do, then you are in need of the newest release from Dark Passions, currently an exclusive for Totally Top Shelf! I love the moons, but you have several different color choices without the moons as well, so do yourself a favor and go grab these new designs, the colors are to die for, and perfect for Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere!

And if you happen to be looking for some new do's, then head on over to Tameless and check out the newest creations from Nita Bracken! As always the prices are amazing and the color packs are to die for, and this new side swept look is perfect for this Spring, so what are you waiting for?! As you head on out to do some shopping make sure to add a new hair to your collection from Tameless, you won't be disappointed!
