It Always Leads Me Here

Hey! Did you know it’s Fashion For Life time? Fashion For Life benefits Relay For Life of Second Life, which fundraises for the American Cancer Society. RFL of SL was ranked 17th out of about 5000 teams that do Relay last year! Everyone sure puts their $Lindens to good use! Plus, you get to buy pretty stuff!

G Field is participating in Fashion For Life this year and has this special Sakura off the shoulder dress! This is a Fashion For Life 2015 exclusive color and print, so if you don’t get it here…well, you’re probably not gonna get it. There is also a dark version which I think I might have to run and get, too. As far as mesh bodies go, this dress does and doesn’t work with them. At least, the Maitreya Lara. I’m wearing a size bigger so it fits better in the back, but you might also want to lower your torso muscles just a bit, too. The front worked with no problems at all.

Happy shopping!

A Little Clutter Never Hurt

One of the things that makes me happy in SL is when I can have a bunch of little knick knacks out. It used to be almost impossible to make anything too terribly cluttery because of prim limits. While we still do have the limits, with mesh and awesome mesh makers who can make cute cute things for just 1 tiny land impact, we can have all the knick knacks we want.

The new Amy Bookshelves by MudHoney out at FaMESHed this month are everything my little clutter-lovin’ heart desires! You can buy one color of the bookshelves, which do come apart into 3 separate ones and have texture change backs, and pick and choose from the different accessories. But you’re really going to want to buy the whole accessories pack that includes 8 book sets, 2 candles, owl, trinket box, 3 frames, 4 vases, 2 plants, and a basket. Since the accessories are copy/mod, you can do as I’ve done and use more and mod pieces to be bigger or smaller and they’re only 1 land impact each! And of course, the shelves look great with some of your own items, too, like I’ve added for this photo.

Happy clutter makin’!

The True Joy Is In Giving

The holidays are fast approaching, y’all! Have you finished all your shopping yet? I haven’t, but I gave myself new goodies and really, you have to give yourself something once in a while, too!

I hopped on over to Kustom9 yesterday and picked up this totally adorable sweater dress! The Nordic Knit dress from Amitomo is just so my style! It’s all kinds of soft and cozy, and it also comes with a little fur collar that you can detach if you want.

The dress goes perfectly with the Fiona boots by Fri.day, also out at Kustom9. I just LOVE boots with attached socks! You can make the socks invisible, though, with the HUD, or change the color.

Have you been out to FaMESHed this month? If you haven’t, you should go so you can get the Christmas Sled from Exposeur! There are 5 poses in the sled so you can take some great pics!

Happy shopping!

At The End Of The Day

Do you have stores where no matter what they release or how often they release, you get totally excited? Coldlogic and Truth are those stores for me!

Coldlogic just did a big fall release and I am so here for it! I was wearing the new Caron cropped sweater last night and my husband immediately told me how cute it was. It’s a winner! I didn’t think I was going to like the new Leck pants because of the tiny ankles, but once I put them on, I realized how adorable they really are. The whole release is really cute, so you need to check it out.

Truth released Shae recently and it’s the hair I needed in my life. Truth does amazing braids anyway, but this big fluffy side braid is so so gorgeous, I can’t get enough of it.

I hope fall is treating all of you well!

Let’s Focus On The Boots!

Do you ever get dressed and you think, “Yay! I’m cute!” Then you take your pic and oh…maybe not so much? That’s totally me today. But let’s not focus on anything except these awesome boots, okay??

My friend Wilma stopped over at our place last night and immediately my eye was drawn to her feet. She was wearing the Cowboy Boots with the floral design from COCO. I cannot begin to tell you all how my little Texas girl heart just sang with excitement! So much so that even though I was in the middle of hanging out with my family, I took off and went to buy them. They come with both the sock and no sock option and there are several pretty colors. In fact, I’m headed out now to get them in aqua!

Happy shopping, y’all!

Iced Up

Oh my goodness, what a start to the month! Both The Arcade and FaMESHed opened with a huge bang today, and if you’re anything like me, you are in shopping heaven!!

What Next is at The Arcade with these awesome Igloos! I’m standing in front of the Penguin igloo and isn’t it cute? There are some poses in it to sit on top of the igloo or lay down inside. Cute! But the poses didn’t show off my new First Snow hair and dress from Exile, also at The Arcade. The hair, hood, and dress are all one piece, and there is a HUD to change the color of the dress and one to do different shades of the hair. Mine is the Ice Blondes HUD and there are 10 lovely light blonde shades in this HUD.

Mutresse is at FaMESHed with their new Sneja boots. Like everything else from Mutresse, these are really well done and of course very very customizable with the color HUD. I went all one color but you can change lots of things to make your boots match your outfits.

Also at FaMESHed are the Fingerless Gloves from Kauna. They can be changed to either leather or wool, and there are sizes for both men and women. The hands, however, were a B to tint properly!! I am very used to having appliers now for my hands, so I’m definitely out of practice for tinting, but I could not get them to tint to match my skin at all, so I just kinda did what I could and let my windlight do the rest.

I hope everyone has a fantastic month!

PSL 4 Ever!

My friends always laugh because I am ridiculously into pumpkin spice anything. Candles, air fresheners, cupcakes, etc. I dance around all of August waiting for pumpkin spice lattes, even though I’m not actually much of a coffee drinker any more. When I saw the new Cocoa-On-The-Go Cart from What Next, I thought, “Would I not be dancing in crazy glee if this thing was parked out in front of my house at all times??”

Isn’t it adorable?? It is materials ready, so if you are using a viewer that shows materials [I am not], then it’ll look just a touch different than in my photo. The cart is just a decorative prop, but if you click on it, it gives you a menu and you can choose from a a variety of drinks and a doughnut! The cups are super cute, too.

I had to get the small PSL because it fit my hand the best, but you know I usually order a large! The Cocoa-On-The-Go Cart is on sale now at the What Next mainstore and if you are a VIP member, it’s 50% off until Tuesday evening.

Oh, can we talk about my hair for a second? Truth released 3 new styles yesterday and I am in fangirllove with the Anita hair. It’s long, it’s simple, it’s exactly what I need.

All this talk about PSL is making me crave one, so I’m off!

The White Swan Steps Out

Last night, my lovely family threw me a birthday party! I wore a “vintage” G Field dress that some said reminded them of the White Swan. Luckily for me, Gos Boutique released the new Paris Peeptoes just in time for me to go to the party!

These shoes are just perfect for almost any look – simple or fancy or casual or sexy! My favorite thing is that the peeptoe cut-out is a heart! So sweet! I’m wearing them in satin, and they also come in shiny patent. They come in several colors, and of course with the Gos Boutique OneTime HUD, you have hundreds of your favorite skins to choose from so tinting to your skin is a super breeze!

I hope everyone has had a great weekend!

Berry’s Meme – Meet My Friend!

When Berry made her Meet My Friend meme, my first thought was to do it with my best friend. But then I thought, well that’s highly expected, now isn’t it? Over the past 3 years, I’ve shied away from making too many new friends and have stuck with the same few people. Back in January, a blogger named Kirsten Corleone added me to Plurk, but either she wasn’t using it much, or I wasn’t paying attention, because I didn’t really notice her until last month. But let me tell you something – I’m glad I did because she has become one of my favorite people in SL, and I knew she was the one that I should do the meme with.

I’m deviating away from the meme slightly because while I did ask her questions, I’ve always found that you get to know a person better when you’re just talking. And oh, did we talk last night! But most of what we talked about needs to stay off the record because it was just us getting to know each other more. I’m sure you all understand. 😉

What I discovered about Kirsten is that she’s awesomely sweet. She’s a lover of pink. She has more jewelry than you can shake a stick at and is now my new go-to person for when I need to find just the right accessory for an outfit. Although she’s been in Second Life for many years, she still loves it and we both still make noob mistakes all of the time. She’s deeply dedicated to her partner in a way that makes you think, “Awww!” and not “Ughhh.”

The best thing that I discovered about Kirsten is that she’s someone I feel really comfortable around, and as most people know, that’s not something that happens a lot for me. I’m very glad Plurk allowed me to meet her, and I’m very happy that this meme allowed me to know her better.

Thanks for doing this with me, Kirsten!

You can see Kirsten’s love for fashion and jewelry on her blog, Kirstentacular!

New Kids On The Block Had A Bunch Of Hits

Summerfest ’13 starts tomorrow! I think of myself as a TOTAL summer girl, so naturally I am so so excited about this fun event!

If you read my personal blog, you know how crazy I got over the Ohmai piglets for The Arcade. WELL… I’m just as crazy for the Ohmai Otters for Summerfest!! Look at these little guys! There are ones for pets and then little otter avatars you can wear! SO CUTE. They even come with a certificate of adoption. Could this get more precious? I don’t think so!

Balaclava made the sweetest little Ukuleles for Summerfest! They play songs, and you can give one to a friend and have a duet! I just love things that you can use to play with others. They also made these really cool Swim Rafts for the event and I’m having so much fun diving from the raft today!

See you tomorrow at Summerfest!
