"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!!!!

Fashion is worth doing well - Featuring Virtual Diva, Modish, No.Match and Nord Embel'Lys

Happy Monday everyone! I hope those of you in the States have had a wonderfully long Holiday weekend, full of food and family, and for the rest of you around the world, I hope you are greeting this Monday with enthusiasm! Sometimes, that's all it takes when faced with negative things, a fake it until you make it attitude. I am living in that state at the moment as a sudden and intense flare-up of things has thrown a wrench in my plans lately, but one thing I noticed that is never effected by my mood or my health, is my sense of style and fashion. We had a relaxing and casual Thanksgiving with my family and people gave me a hard time for "dressing up" for the occasion, and I realized that it doesn't matter what the event is, I am always accused of that. I guess because I spend so much time at home and out of the public view that when I get a chance to go out, I often dress up a bit. It isn't for others, it's for me, it helps elevate my mood which can take the edge off of the pain, and after all, fashion is always worth doing well!

“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.” — Vivienne Westwood

Speaking of doing fashion well, look no further than Virtual Diva and the amazing designs created there, along with this fantastic new dress, an exclusive for the current round of Swank. The classic lines are perfect for any event, and you can wear the dress with or without the add-on, giving you two totally different looks. The new Winter collection has been released at the event and in the store so do yourself a favor and stop by the store and event today to check them out! And while out and about on the grid, take a little detour and head by Nord Embel'Lys and let your eyes be dazzled by the beautiful jewelry, including the set I have on today! The Tresor Astral set is incredibly well made with a magnificent attention to detail, making it a stop you just have to make if you haven't yet, to add well priced, gorgeous jewelry to your collection.

"We belong way down below" - Featuring Ashmoot @ Designer Circle

Today I don't have much to say, I am reserving another post to brag about my step son and his award he received last night and his graduation coming up this Friday, so today I am going to let this photo set the mood.  I just love when a plan comes together, and this shot is a result of a carefully thought out and executed plan that completely fell apart in all the right ways, and of course triggered a song in my head as soon as the capture was taken.  So turn the tunes up loud for a couple of minutes and join me in my rather grungy mood today!

"Heaven Knows"

Jimmy's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close
You can hear him cry

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing it
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below

Judy's in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dole
Gotta make that cash
Won't be pretty
Won't be sweet
She's just sittin' here on her feet

Sing it
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Go
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

I've had better days, man
I've seen better days
I've had better ways, man
I know better ways

One, two, three and four
The devil's knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man's lie
Start your life with your head held high
Now you're on your knees
With your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell 'em it's good
Tell 'em okay
Don't do a goddamn thing they say

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

I've seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I've seen better days, man
I've had better days

Gina's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close
You can hear the crying

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
