Sometimes I feel so insecure

Dear SL...

I like to once and a while escape into the serial dreaming land of the impossible.
I love thinking of the magical stuff only accessed by the brain when sleeping.
This post was kinda inspired by that feel.

I was so inspired by the Glam Affair ballerina collar, While this kinda fashion is usually to far out of my comfort zone. This item really did make my creative side show. I instantly thought of a innocent flower being plucked into a dream like state.
The collar it's self is well made, and the golden pearls upon it make such a beautiful touch.

I am also wearing the Glam Affair skin that's also available at this months Uber, This skin has to be one of my favourite recent releases from this designer, With many subtle makeup looks.

Tram is back on the grid and to celebrate, They came out with two new hair styles.
Both styles are rather short but soooooo pretty, Tram really does show how short hair can be undeniably gorgeous and I can't wait to see more.

Fri. has always been a creator that brings out solid products and theses wedge released for Kustom9 are no exception. The little details such as the bow in this design really does make the shoes stand out from the rest for me. I feel very cute.

Music of the moment: I have always loved power ballads and well this girl does it best.

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart

Dear SL...

Sometimes your heart just wants you to dance, Life is to short and its best spent on those you love.
It is great to be passionate about things and I just have this over whelming feeling of beauty today.

This look really was inspired by the Secret Stores blogger search, However as i started writting this post I just feel in love with the pretty feel of it.
Almost like a calming emotion washing over me, And it just makes me want to put on some good music.
Escaping into a beautiful make believe world, And heck that pretty much describes SL.

I picked up some really elegant things from this round of Collab88, And as i mentioned Secret Store who happens to be participating in this event is searching for new bloggers.
I figured I would try my luck and I put together a new dress on offer and also an older item (The boombox), As i think although its nice to have new shiny releases, It is also nice to remember the older items that are just as amazing as when you first brought them.

As i collected more items along the way i realised this picture came alive with a story of its own.
I found myself dancing by evening light.

Music of the moment: I love this strange band called The Darkness, It's really weird.

Dear SL...

It is the age old argument of if cute is better than hot or sexy....Lucky in this outfit I feel a bit of it all mixed in.
I beyond love this current style.

I personally love when well know beloved creators do things that haven't been seen as a style yet and to me that is what Foxes did with their recent release at Collab88. This little slip dress comes in so many patterns/colours its hard to choose which to take home. Like most you think AHHH this is so cute Fatpack it!
I think its also worth a mention they not only do some standard sizing but also fitted mesh to Maiterya and Slink.
Long with that matching perfectly were the Fri. feet wraps also available at Collab88, Now mesh feet are needed for these and they have a choice of slink or Maiterya.
Putting all these finishing touches i found a hair with a floral head piece to really hit the cuteness out of the park.
I than headed to a pretty sim to reflect on my creation for the day.

One of my favourite recent releases was the top by Gabriel. It is mesh that allows you to look like you are seductively chewing or cutely chewing on your top while flashing that slight bit of pretty bra you have under it. It also moves as you move so it really is pretty cool.

I also picked up the pretty bra from Uber event by Erratic, It is made for the Maitreya mesh lara body and fits so snugly with the body its unbelievable. I really had a hard time deciding which colour to get because all the options were so gorgeous, In the end i went with the pink and black as I already had this outfit in mind.

I wear heels in sl from time to time and to find a pair i really like is hard for me, The pair offered by Essenz at the Gatcha Garden are so well done. There are so many colours and its an all shoe gatcha.

Fawny has take the grid by storm with their adorable releases of late, Amongst them was the Mermaid bikini set at the We <3 RP event. Coming in a range of beautiful bright colours , Any mermaid could desire.
Along with this they also released the mermaids companion/mount at the Gatcha Garden event. (Please note if you haven't been it closes soon, so hurry along.) They also come in a range of delightful colours to match your mermaid needs.

The hair pictured is a release not that long ago by the brand Olive, I have sad it many times and i will say it again. Rose just keeps getting better the more her hairs develop. Personally her longer styles especially the ones with a slight curl to is really steal my heart.
The main store is currently under construction, However keep checking back as she is working hard to have it all up and runing asap.

ANC has to be one of my all time favourite stores in the grid, they have such an artistic feel to everything they make, This includes the bubbles.

8F8 is another of my must own all of the store designers who creates with passion in his works and it really shows. This pond made is just amazing with ripples and everything.

If you haven't been to Gatcha Garden I would get a wriggle on as there is only a little more time left before the event closes.
There are many pretty, New shiny things to via for especially for those of us that are Gatcha addicted.
Amongst the many items on offer, I found the irresistible cute food pets by Moon Amore, My only real problem now is... If i should eat them or not as they really are so cute and delicious looking at the same time.

And now you're just a ghost

Dear SL...

Ok real life has settled down a little now and things are starting to get back normal which is nice, I love routine.
This theme of the blog today is a little dark, I went with the whole haunted women in white feel.
If you don't know about the myth of the women in white, and you like the scary things in life. You really should look it up.

This theme all started when I laid eyes on the UnKindess set for The Gatcha Garden. It just reminded me of a haunted ghost town and than I found the dress by Aphorism which also reminded me of the women in white creepy story, Hence the theme of this blog was born
The dress and necklace are very well designed and have delicate touches such as the lace of the dress.

Lucky I also remembered the creepy dolls set by Remarkable Oblivion from last round TAG event and it went perfectly for the idea formed in my head.

The last finishing touches to my over all look was the tattoos by Antielle, Recently at the first round of Epiphany event.

So this is just a quick post of some things I recently acquired in SL and needed to share.
Sometimes there is no other reason for my blogging than that.

My inspiration for this blog post came really from the gorgeous flower set from Astralia, It is jus so breath taken and well done it screamed to be blogged.
Its available at the Gacha Garden event for August round, Themed Seed Of Inspiration.

This than inspired me to think about those art like women drapped on couches being pained in the older famous paintings, this is my modern blogged version.

I also used Apple Falls new manor build for my backdrop, This house is really something to drool over and has the best set of stairs i have ever seen in my Slife.
The technique and effort that went into this house does not equal its price and is a steal.
I can not express how impressed I am with this build and everything about it.

The newest gocha event to hit the gird this month is the Gacha Garden and i must say its just magical.
The over all theme is "Seeds Of Inspiration" and the creators have pulled out their best for this one.
The suprise for this event however is that every creator has a Seed Of Inspiration item on offer, This can not be won normally, However it rewards those of us who play the machine obsessively. (I think 20 times is needed.)
This event has a lot to offer and I couldn't help myself but pick up a few of the cute items, This resulted in the inspiration of this intimate bath relaxed scene you see above.
Featuring some pretty amazing and creative ideas from Paper Moons flower moments and Sallie x Body Language thoughtful poses/Items... it was pure fun.
