Sitting here breathing in this circus

Dear SL...

Sometimes in real life I like to watch the weather outside and day dream, Usually while escaping into a good book with a hot cup of tea or at the moment that would be a nice ice tea because my real life and Second life are on the opposite weather schedules. Yes that's right while you all enjoy a white cold xmas I have a toasty hot BBQ xmas.

Do you feel that cold nipping at your avatars pixels? Awww than warm up with the super cute cozy items coming out on the grid.
Arcade opened its doors and there was a rush to get all the things as usual. One of those things on my list was the SpellBound hairs. These hairs are the usual well textured beauties and the Rare comes with a amazing range of beanie textures. Honestly I love it, the big curls and the beanie are done in such a way that it hug the right places to make a cute profile for any girl sporting it.

I am also wearing the new Long john combo pj's brought to the Arcade by Flowey and i am really impressed with them. Not only are they gorgeously textured but the style is spot on. They will keep your pixels warm for sure. I even have a red pair all ready for xmas night!

Half Deer also made an impression with her adorable little pets, They think their human with all the activities they are doing. Be sure not to miss those when you visit the event.

OHHHH and also as it is the season for giving the amazing designers of the Arcade event have even whipped up a few extra cute pressies for you to collect FREE under the xmas tree!

As winter hits the grid there is a flood of cute and cozy items and I just can't wait to put them on.
I had Olive style my hair in the Twist, Released at Kawaii Project. This hair is one my personal favourites from this brand recently, It is so soft and causal.
I stopped by Vincue and couldn't resist this sweet laced detailed sweater, It has a slightly off shoulder style that makes it just that little bit sexy while maintaining the cute factor. You can also get a hud to change the lace trimming.
I also couldn't help but fatpack these amazing modelled jeans from Ison, They are currently 30% off and each come with the option of ripped or new, Also socks or no socks. I honestly just adore the shape these give the av and not to mention the gorgeous texture work on them.
Fri. didn't disappoint with their newest offering for the N21 event, These Emily boots are so warm looking, with a legging style and a great choice of colour/Patterns for them. These will defiantly be one of my go to boots for this winter.
Kizbit also made an impression on me with the set of rings for Kustom9, They are individually modify and honestly so pretty with the pearl like style. They come in a few choices for the metal, However I opted for the gold.
Last but not least I rummaged through my inventory praying not to get lost and came across the Beetle Bones purse that went perfectly with this outfit and to cozy things up just that little bit more I throw on Noodles past release bear earmuffs.
Some cute little friends from Birdy's Little Chi Pets came for a brisk walk to explore some winter sims. If you haven't got one these little guys by now and taken them home (Into your inventory) you really should they are adorable with their little heart ribbons on their ears and collars. AND look at those eyes how can you not!

Dear SL...

As I said I have felt like with Halloween and October the dark side took over my blog and while I do enjoy those looks and will I am sure before to long do some more, It is time for a bit of bright side cute.
Enjoying the last of my Autumn looking area before it turns to snow and it is time to rug up.

As the last of Autumn fades away, What better way to enjoy it than to pick some apples and enjoy the last of the sun.
It seems my avatar isn't the only one that enjoys the freshly grown apples by Jian at the Love To Decorate event.
The cows made by Birdy have been causing some mischief and eaten their fill. The come in a range of colours and have both static (For decor purposes) and companion styles. Personally the detail in the furry mane does it for me, Giving them the extra cute factor.
Fri. kept the ever creeping in cold at bay with these cute cozy socks released for November Collabor88 and the Ingrid boots for Kustom9.
Putting on a cute farmer style dress picked from my vast inventory from event long past and having Tram style my hair with their known perfection and texturing detail.
All that was left to do was pull on my hat from Ohmai (Please note hat comes from a hair style released from Ohmai and does not fully fit the hair above but perfect for syling pictures or if you dont mind a little hair peeking out.)and call some birdie friends for a song while gathering apples for a warm apple pie!

Just a girl hanging out on her bed in her cozy underwear...
Once again Spellbound have produced a cute style hair that is very versitile, Although it comes with a hat i chose not to use it for this post as unfortunately it didnt come in the colour scheme i needed. It is soooo pretty with or without the hat and of course you are given that option.

Vincue have made a screaming comeback on the grid with their updated mesh skills and i have to say they are cuter than ever, I fell in love with this jacket as soon as i layed eyes on it, Perfect for going over those cute underwear or even a little dress,

Glam Affair have produced a cute style skybox as a rare for a gatcha, It has great lighting and a touch of breaches to give it a little more detail.
Easy to create a cozy hideout.

It was taken from there adding a few other pieces as my look fell together and after i must confesses i danced around in this outfit. Strangely it felt great...end of confession.

Only time will tell if you can break the spell

Dear SL...

It is time for a little mystic magic in both my real life and second life.
Thing is, It is so easy to get lost in the fantasy of things...We have to remember that sometimes even though it is nice, There is a reality as well.

My reality of late has been a hospital bed, So i do apologise for my absence... However i am on the mend and finally at home so now the blogging can continue.

I for one am always on the look out for the different, I like the quirky and fun loving things of both worlds.
You can really tell when a creator puts in their personality/Creative spin on their designs and that's what makes me really fall in love.
Spellbound is always one those stores that impress me by giving just that little bit more. The offering for Enchantment from Spellbound is no different, Not only are you given a gorgeous hair but also colour change feather accessories and also a black crow mask layer.
When given such creative designs it is easy to get lost in creating a look that helps express and reflect how creative you want to be when dressing your avatar.

I pulled together a few other objects such as my Ison dress and jacket but also the Izzi's amazing tattoo layers. Last but not least to really make this all tie together for the look I had in mind i also put on the RO orb hand that gave it the over all mystic feel I desired.

I also wanted to mention the ever so pretty skin I have on, VCO has long been one of my favourite skin brands.
The latest skin creations are just breath taking especially with the mesh lips that are made for each individual skins.

Cause you dry my tears

Dear SL...

This is a blog I have been dying to do for a while, Its just so striking to me and there is something beautifully morbid about it.
As it is the month for all things creepy you will have to forgive me for my some what dark themed blog posts, But I do promise I will have some sparkly pretty blogs on their way.
As well as some gorgeous warm and cozy Autumn ones, I love Autumn!

Like I have said before I like mixing the creepy or scary with the beautiful and find the juxtapose of the items so interesting.

Epiphany event brought us a mixed bag of amazing item and one of those items I was sooo impress with is the Reign rare boots.
These boots have a great hud that allows you to choose the size you need to fit the body you have on. Not to mention they are so well designed and beautiful, They fit so well under the dress from Pixicat.
If you haven't been to Epiphany yet, You best get your behind moving as it closes on the 12th of this month. Also to keep in mind only 100 points will roll over and all the exclusives will be gone forever after the round ends.

Fawny has come out with some cutely terrifying animals for you to collect for The Fantasy Collective, They are house trained and perfect for this time of the year.
Also joining my collection of animals is the cat by Jian for the recent Tag!, I may have forgotten to feed him... Opps!
But seriously this cat is sooo cool, and the movements adorable. The animation work for this item is flawless, Just like a real cat.

And of course I don't usually adopt the more colourful hairs for my avatar however the green of the Blues hair hud and the amazing makeup from Glam Affair just really made an image I could't resist.
Loving my look...However please note that the Glam Affair makeup is designed for the mesh head.

Why should I feel pain

Dear SL...

So as you can see I decided to change up my picture layout of my blog, I feel so much better about this layout.
I think its important to evolve and work on developing more skills. I think this is more creative and it makes me feel happy working on the pictures again.
So with the renewal in mind I have a look that morns my past but also says hello to my future.

Sim: TAG! Gacha - The Haunted Mortuary

So my look today is such a chic style of danger, Which is fitting for my mood at the moment.
I love mixing the thought of a dangerous beauty, You know its bad for you but you can resist.

The event Epiphany opened and made a major dent in my shiny lindens, Because there are so many amazing must have items and well you know luck the draw means my inventory exploded. Luckly though with this event you can trade in your unwanted for points to get exclusive items for this round of the event, Never to be sold again.
I couldn't help but put on the amazing simple black style shoes with a slight twist from Reign, Its worth also mentioning these shoes have an amazing hud to fit bodys and normal feet.
And also her gorgeous necklaces which helped me hint towards the secret danger hidden within as one of them is clearly a poison bottle and the other an unknown glowing bottle, Possibly an antidote??? Would you like to test this?
My sleek hair style is also from Epiphany and is the offering from Little Bones, Perfect for under a hoodie.
If you haven't been you have a little time to go get all the goodies before the event closes.

Also open this month is the Tag! Gatcha event, This event has a great hud that unlocks areas and is very well themed.
I have stop by the starting point to have a smoke or few, Before I venture inside to investigate the mortuary, Girls gotta pay her respects to the person who met a tragic end as her lover. Wink Wink.

My outfit can be found at Collob88, Please go snap it up... to put it simply its just mind blowing.
This is the lastest fashion offering from Foxes and has really impressed me.
Not only are the designs perfected but the texureing is one of an artist.
But even all that doesnt beat the hud system that comes with this dress and hoodie combination, All girls out there know the struggle of fitting a dress and jacket without things pokeing through or colliding.
These items allow you to use a hud to section off/Alpha areas to suit what you are wearing and if that hasn't convinced you that you need this set than the fact you have the option to have a hoodie and find a hair that fits or wearing the jacket without.
As always there are many patterns and also colour range that is common to this brand, You will be able to find one to your liken I am sure.
So off to Collob88 with you...

Excuse me, I think its time to go inside.... Maybe my next lover will have better luck.
