"Tell me will love be there" - Featuring Petit Chat, Powder Pack, MODISH and MORE!

Today officially marks the start of Winter break for my son and I think I am more excited than he is, because it gives me time to myself next week to get organized and blog a bit more than I have been, as long as the internet cooperates.  The last few days we have been plagued by very high winds, blowing in a possible snow storm finally, and that has played havoc with the internet, for some reason.  Our provider would tell you that high winds cannot effect the service, but it is only during these periods of sustained high winds that we lose internet for hours on end.  So we just have to grin and bare it and hope for the best.  Luckily it has cooperated long enough today for me to get two posts out, one for fashion and one for home decor, which truly makes me happy!  Mainly because I think I am in need of some stress relief lately with all that has been going on, but with Christmas right around the corner I get a vacation here soon, which I am looking forward too more than you know.  I can picture a glass of wine in hand as I sit in the hot tub with my man chatting about what we are going to do once the last one graduates from high school in June, as the sun sets over the desert.  Romance, family, friends, food and love is what this holiday is all about this year for me, and I hope it is for you as well, because you cannot package that love is found when you are surrounded by those closest to your heart. 

If you love to accessorize as much as I do then you really need to stop by The Chapter Four and pick up the brand new, 100% original mesh design by Trinity Yazimoto for Petit Chat.  The Clair de Lune bracelets can be customized in every way possible with the incredible HUD and the fact each piece is also MOD.  As always the textures are amazing and the piece can be worn alone or in combination with others for a bolder look, so stop by today, I promise you won't be disappointed.  And if you haven't made it by this round of FaMESHed, and you are looking for accessories or hair, then hurry because this gorgeous new set of curls from Wasabi Pills is a MUST have addition to your collection, as are the adorable rings from Empyrean Forge, perfect for this holiday season.  Happy Shopping!!!!

The final day for the Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase and the SL 2015 Christmas Expo

Complete Christmas Living Room - Kaerri @ Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase

I hope that everyone has headed by SL 2015 Christmas Expo and the Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase  to give a little back this holiday season, but just in case you haven't had the time then make sure you do it SOON, the events both end TODAY!  I waited til a little after midnight for me to do this post (though now it's almost 1 a.m. lol) so I could remind everyone that it is the 14th, which means that you will no longer be able to see the amazing art featured at the Windlight Winter Art Show and have a chance to donate directly or through purchases from the showcase to Team Diabetes of SL; or all of the fantastic creations featured at the SL 2015 Christmas Expo.

This elegant, and tasteful Christmas themed living room comes from the mind of Kaerri and is only available at the Windlight Winter Art Show and Showcase.  The build by unKindness is the only thing not by Kaerri in these pictures, meaning you don't have to worry about where anything goes, or if your Christmas pieces go together.  You are guaranteed a perfect Christmas celebration with your friends and family in this magnificent set so HURRY before it's too late!

Cocktails anyone?

 Of course, if you haven't had time to do any shopping at these events yet, that means you haven't picked up your Holiday party dress either, Entice makes it simple to answer that dilemma with this gorgeous new release for the SL 2015 Christmas Expo.  Entice has several releases for the event but this dress called "Don't", which kind of made me giggle in a bit of an evil way, combined with the "Extraordinary Heels" also an Entice design, makes quite a striking ensemble, exactly what you are looking for if you are wanting to make a statement this December!

Don't - Entice @ SL 2015 Christmas Expo

There are so many wonderful goodies at the Christmas Expo that I just couldn't decide what all to show off to you in the last two weeks, but I wanted to share with you my favorite pieces as the events close, so you can go get your hands on your own today!  

Epiphany - Tantulum @ SL 2015 Christmas Expo

This necklace and ring set are just stunning, and I absolutely love this creation from Tantalum, an exclusive for the Christmas Expo and you don't need a better reason to go grab yours when a portion or all of the proceeds of the sale go to Relay for Life.  These adorable nails from ZOZ can only be found at the event as well and they come in a wide variety of colors meaning you will find the perfect match to your holiday ensembles.  I know I won't be taking off these two accessories for awhile which means you need a set of each in your inventory today!  Remember, both the events end TODAY so HURRY up!  What are you waiting for?!  Why are you still reading?!  GO!  SHEESH!

Classically Stylish under a New Moon in AnaMarkova Designs, Lone Wolf Studio and Alaskametro

I am begrudgingly a little behind in my blogging for AnaMarkova Designs, even though I try and get out at least two posts a month to show off her releases, but it just doesn't seem to be enough!  If you have been a fan then make sure to remember that AnaMarkova releases weekly so the few items I get to show off to you are really only a tiny peek into the gorgeous creations added to the store much more often than I could possibly blog!  The Toyah Sweater Dress is a perfect example of something you don't want to miss out on!  This stunning, body draping dress comes in several colors with matching shoes, with each piece wonderfully textured with an incredible attention to detail.  So make sure you head by Designer Showcase and the store to pick up the latest and greatest from AnaMarkova Designs!

Today, December 11th, marks the New Moon and a new program at Lone Wolf Studio as well as a new product!  Lone Wolf Studio marks the New Moon with a new release and this time the amazing creator brings you a new set of nails perfect for this time of year.  Expect to find releases on the New and Full Moon's in the store this month and probably from now on, so make sure to check my blog and the store!

I also wanted to show off two of the stunning make up pieces currently at this round of Anybody from Alaskametro.  The Creme Duo shadows come in a wide variety of colors as well appliers for your favorite mesh heads, with the Omega applier; and the Sheer Gloss also comes in a bunch of colors and also comes with the same appliers as well as Standard Layers.  Do yourself a favor and head on by the event before it's too late and these disappear into the Marketplace store.

AnaMarkova Designs can be found at The Designer Showcase as long as this round is running as well as at On9 with brand new releases that I haven't gotten my hands on yet!  Do yourself and shy away from the current crazy events on the grid and just relax at The Designer Showcase and On9!
