I know there are all kinds of events going on around the grid right now and that it can be a bit overwhelming when trying to shop or remember where to find something; just remember to breathe and check out previews and blogs about the events so you have an idea before hand.  And, some events don't require Creators to put out anything new, so sometimes it can be better to check out a new event or store to get the newest releases!  Hurry on over to Vogue's Arctic Blast for NEW and EXCLUSIVE releases inspired by the chilly, cold of Winter!

Have a wonderfully wicked day and remember to stay true to your style!

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!
