It's Time To Say Goodbye

Hello Lovelies!
So, many of you know I have been blogging for a year and I absolutely love and adore it. When I started blogging, I never imagined that I would stop, nor would I leave SL. 
However, some pretty big changes have happened in my real life. No, I wont be leaving SL, but I will not be spending as much time there either. If you are on my friends list, you've probably realized that already.
Before anyone starts to wonder anything... I am fine. I'm great actually! New things and new people have come into my life as well as new places and I just need to focus on them and start to make my life a bit better and become a better person. It's almost 2017 and this is my year!
So, yes my blog will end, but I will keep my flickr up and update it every once in a while, so always check that for new stuff!
But the purpose of this post is not really to say good bye. It is mostly just to say thank you! Thank you to everyone who liked any posts. To anyone who followed. Anyone who supported! You all are wonderful and helped me keep this going for a year! Maybe I will come back, I don't know yet!
I just know that I need to focus a bit more on my real life, and I'm sure you all can understand that.
So, thank you so much, good bye and good luck on all your future endeavors. 
Love always.
xoxo

Christmas Wishes (Showcase)

Hello Lovelies! Oh, it has been so long since I've had a showcase! I was on a little break and now I am back and here to show you all the best things! Now that I am back, expect a post at least once, maybe sometimes twice a week!
For all the Americans here, did you celebrate thanksgiving? Did you stuff yourself like you stuffed the turkey? Mmmm food! Now its almost time to make the new years resolution to lose all the weight you gained from thanksgiving dinner and the soon to come Christmas cookies and cinnamon rolls. We sure are a silly bunch!
Anyways, on to the showcase!
 {.LAGEENY f a s h i o n.} came out with this adorable crop sweater called the Aylin Top and ugh! It just looks so comfy! Plus, it has a hud with so many options to change the sweater and the tie. You know how I love my color change huds! Aaaaand how I love my fitted mesh things, so guess what? YES! It is fitted for maitreya, freya, isis, slink hourglass, slink physique, and venus. Holy cow, right? This is a brand new top from {.LAGEENY f a s h i o n.} so be sure to check them out!
Rezology has been doing something great! Ever see someone on SL that is all one color? No, its not your graphics card! It means their complexity is too high. You can change it of course but its a wee bit annoying, isn't it? Well, rezology has been lowering their complexities on ALL their hairs so you don't end up looking like a one color blob to everyone else. So, show all your colors! You deserve to shine in all your rainbow glory! This hair is called Tulip and I love it because its so soft and adorable! Like me!

Faithful and true forever

Innocence Upheld

Innocence...
 
It is something everyone wants and yet it is something that so easily slips away as we get older.
Remember the innocence of being a child? When just going outside and running around could be the highlight of your day?
But innonce fades as we get older. Do we let it go ourselves, or does it naturally just slip away leaving us unaware until one day we realise it is gone.
And once it is gone, can we ever get it back?
Nowadays we want kids to grow up so fast. Electronics and outside forces push this idea that it will be better when they are older. But is it really better? 
"Dont' cry" "Be a big girl." "Don't be such a baby." 
Really? These are the things we say to children? Let them cry. Let them act their age. Soon that innocence will be gone. 
Treasure it while you can.

"As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes

Let go before it's too late
 Can you whisper"

Just One More Kiss Goodnight

Hello Lovelies!
Another post from The Old Fair here so you can see that they really do have something for everyone.
Now, I don't usually do pictures like this because I'm actually a very shy person, but I still find the human body to be a beautiful thing and I think there is no shame in showing the skin you were born with. I just prefer to cover up most of the time.
And with that aside, lets get down to what I'm showing off! All of the items I will be mentions are part of The Old Fair which starts on the 11th and runs until the 25th so you still have a few days to save up some lindens!
First of all the pose. How can you make a picture without a pose, right? [evoLove] will be at The Old Fair showcasing a three pose set called Noir and these poses... ooh la la! They are sexy! This pose is the first in the set and it is just so sensual and romantic even if it is just for one person!
Secondly, InsomniaStore, or just *IS* has come out with these amazing amazing fur stoles in long, like the one I'm wearing in Candy Pink, or a shorter collar version which would be super cute on a blouse. You all know how much I love fake fur. Emphasis on fake because I also love my furry friends! Last round of the arcade a played a machine probably about 20 times for a fur coat and still hadn't gotten it! So the fact that I can have these fur stoles really makes my day. You can do so much with them too. Dress up an evening gown, be sexy, play as a frisky flapper, etc etc etc! Now you can get them in black, copper fox, or candy pink like I'm wearing. The chain is color changeable and they all have a resizer but it fit me fine without having to adjust anything.
And last, but definitely not least, the last hair from -FABIA-. It is called Daisy and omg omg omg! Anyone getting The Great Gatsby vibes from it? I certainly am. It is so Daisy from the Great Gatsby. The really cool thing about this hair is that it also comes with a shawl, that is removable. 
Check it out! You can find all of these items at The Old Fair - November 11th to November 2th.

I Hear Your Voice When The Wind Blows

Hello Lovelies! While I'm not back permanently I wanted to give you guys a few pictures from an upcoming fair: The Old Fair.
I am super excited to be a part of this fair because it celebrates all kinds of old things and features poses, clothes, hair, skin, everything from a ton of designers all across the grid! Now, The Old Fair opens on 11/11/2016 and closes on 11/25/2016. So you have time to do your research and save up!
Second Life really needs more medieval/renaissance style clothes and Beyond Persuasion design delivers with this beautiful dress. With sizes ranging from XXS - L, Maitreya, fitted mesh, and even Slink physique and hourglass there is a size for everyone. They even have a separate outfit for men. Now that is awesome!
You know how I love to make stories with poses right? Well, ~Reel Poses comes out with three new poses, and one of the reasons I really, really love them is the fact that even though they are swing poses, they come with the swing! I don't know why some pose shops sell poses without the prop its supposed to be used on, that always confused me! So when I opened these poses to see they came with the tree and swing I nearly squealed with delight! I'm using the Sweet Swinging Pose in this picture but they also have an adorable one to be used with a significant other called Hung Up On you and a friend one called Complicity. So definitely check those out!
-FABIA- came out with two new hairs. The one I'm wearing here is called Lana and at first I wasn't too sure about it honestly. But then I paired it with the dress and OMG! Perfect old southern style belle, right? I love it and I think it fits the theme style perfectly and also is great for role-playing.
Ok, so remember - The Old Fair opens on November 11th and closes on the 25th. I can't wait to see you all there!
XOXO

"The longer I stand here
The louder the silence
I know that you're gone but sometimes I swear that I hear
Your voice when the wind blows
So I talk to the shadows
Hoping you might be listening 'cos I want you to know
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
And as I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said"

The Boudoir

Hello Lovelies!
One of the things I love to do on second life is decorating! It is so gratifying to have your own little place and make it your own. So today, I wanted to show you one of my own little places. A place I can relax and be me and just hang out and relax.
One of the easiest ways for me to decorate is with gatchas so many of these items are from past gatcha events or things like that. But one thing I do want to point out is the canvas prints leaning up against the wall and the book pile next to them. These are from Sara Wayland - a great up and coming designer. She made these full perm so say you wanted the books to be Harry Potter. You can do that! And in fact, I might! The picture frames are full perm as well and they also come with I believe 4 'pre-painted' sets. One of the 'pre-painted' sets are also blank so its perfect for an artists room!
Anyways, there is a lot to cover for this picture so lets get straight to the credits!

Don't Speak

Silence.
Is it really golden?

It can be. But it can also be so loud. 

I personally try not to speak (when around others that I don't trust) unless I have something important to say. Too many people spout lies from their mouths. And the biggest lie is when you say you love someone. The word love is thrown around so much. Love is not meant to be a word to throw around whenever you want to. You can like something, admire something/someone, even adore it/them. But please, stop saying love unless you really, truly know the meaning behind the word.
If you would lay down your own life to save them. If you would run across a mine field just to hold them. If you would wake up in the middle of the night and go to them because they need you. Then you love them. 
But if you just want to be near them once in a while or think they make you look better or you wouldn't give your life for theirs then please stop saying you love them. You admire them. You like them. And that's okay too.
Love grows. It takes time. And patience. It is a beautiful flower that needs nourishment and time to grow. Don't diminish that preciousness by being so eager to say "love".
And just because you say you love them... it doesn't make them love you.
Just a thought.

XOXO

Showcase: Serendipity - Falling

Hello Beauties!
It's that time again! Serendipity has come out with new poses at the Pose Lover And Friends Event. If you love poses or like taking pictures, I highly suggest you take a look. Serendipity has quite a few poses there that I will show you throughout the month, and there are a ton of other designers in this event as well.
Now, the event runs from September 9th to midnight on September 25th.
The pose I'm showing you today is from a set of three, all poses in the pack are at the bottom of this post of course! I love this one. Falling isn't really graceful, is it? I fall down all the time because of plain clumsiness, plus some medical issues. And I can tell you it is not graceful! But these poses are beautiful, graceful, falling poses that are perfect for sleeping, dreaming, or even supernatural style photos. I tried to add a bit of all of that in my photo and I hope you all enjoy it!

Heart Of Autumn

Hello Lovelies!
I am so excited to share a new store with you all! ::LiES Creations:: Now they are an awesome clothing store for women and men and their prices are awesome! Today I wanted to show you a pair of jeans - their latest release. These jeans are called Flower Jeans and you can get them in black, navy, blue, light blue, and even purple! Each color pack has maitreya, belleza, slink and fitmesh sizes XS-L. They have an adorable flower design and it reminded me of the last days of summer.
I love when summer is turning into Autumn. The air gets crisper, the leaves start to turn. Apples are in season, cardigans are more acceptable and long jeans are back in! These just seem like a perfect pair of old jeans to wear for a casual day out. I love them! Plus, they are only 100L in store. So how cool is that, right? Check 'em out!
I also want to show off this chic new hair from rezology. It's called Lamb of Columbia and other then the fact the name is awesome, I love the style. Its a choppy kinda short style that still manages to look cool and collected while at the same time seem like its almost blowing in the wind. How cool is that, right? Another cool thing about rezology hair is the hud. This hair has easy resize options on the hud and a few preset colors but also a hud that lets you change it to practically any color you can imagine. I play different roleplay characters. Some have white blonde hair, others have black, and even others have brown hair. The cool thing about rezology is that I don't have to buy different color packs because I can just easily change the color on the hud if they wear the same style!
But... go out and enjoy the last days of summer! Don't forget to check out these jeans at ::LiES Creations::, and the hair from rezology.

"My mind runs away to you
With a thought I hope you'll see
Can't see where it's wandered to
But I know where it wants to be
I'm waiting patiently
Though time is moving slow
I have one vacancy
And I wanted you to know that
You're the one, designed for me
A distant stranger, that I will complete
I know you're out there, we're meant to be
So keep your head up, and make it to me
And make it to me"

GOTCHA... er Gatchas!

Hello Lovelies!
How many of you have gotten into the arcade yet? I think this is probably the best round I've seen yet and have spent so much money. It is a sickness! But, therapy is good medicine right? So let's talk about it!
First of all... I'm wearing the Stockholm Sweater from Stories&Co. and OMG! One of my very close friends lives in Sweden and I wanted to get this sweater to I dunno, show my love! It /did/ take a while to get it though, but I got so many other colors. The cool thing about this gatcha is that they have red, green, mustard yellow, and navy blue which are all the Hogwarts houses! So I will definitely be using it for my school role-play.
Now, onto Birdy and omg.... Birdy and Birdie are probably two of my favorite stores in SL. I know they are separate and for now I'm going to talk about Birdy for a little bit. Have you seen the key for the Birdy Boudoir  set? UGH. It is so beautiful and amazing! I tried and tried and tried to get a fur coat, but it wasn't my lucky day. I got a ton of lingerie though! So woohoo for that, right?! A girl can never have enough lingerie.
JIAN. JIAN. JIAN. Oh how I love you and your animals. They make my heart melt. How cute is the puppy asleep on the laptop? And the two ones curled up with their Momma? I just can't! WAY too cute! 
And finally the cutie clutter from +Half-Deer+ it is my life! Many of you know that I role-play as a teen a lot and this is perfect for a teen room.
 Anyways, I wrote way too much! Lets get to the credits so you can go to the arcade and get some goodies!

Too Cute To Sleep!

Hello Lovelies!!!
Today I was going through some clothes and items from The Whimsical Event because my Mischief Managed character is starting a new year at school in a couple weeks and I just can't wait! So, I wanted to make her a few outfits that would be easy to change in and out of. But... I stumbled across this adorable ensemble and had to take a picture. Then I just had to edit it just a little and then I was going to share it and be done with it. It wasn't going to be a blog post. But, just before putting it on flickr, I decided you know what... its cute, its fun, it has new items, why not, right? Alright so the hair and the top are from The Whimsical Event, it is definitely worth checking out!
I don't really have any thing else to say as this is an impromptu post! 
Love you all!

Showcase: Serendipity - Bright Thoughts

Good morning Lovelies!
I know, I know, I haven't been posting much but you know how it is. Life gets hectic, work gets hectic, health gets hectic and suddenly all you want to do is nap all day!
Now, before I start talking about these poses which are just awesome, I do want to quickly mention this dress from TRS Designs. They aren't a very well known store and I don't know why! Check them out when you have time, you might be surprised at how much of a selection they have an how much of it really fits mesh bodies!  Plus most outfits are only 100L. And really... how can you not love a dress with anchors? But I will go in to my anchor obsession in another post!
Now, onto these poses. Oh my gosh. Serendipity, this creator just gets me. Every dang time! I've talked abut her so much, so many feels with her poses. I'm not just saying this because I blog her stuff... I really, honestly do love her poses. You guys know I tell you guys the scoop! If something isn't right, I'll tell you. I've lost a sponsor before because I keep it real! It something is on my blog, you know I will let you know the truth!
So lets talk about these poses. I honestly can not find anything bad about them. Serendipity is so good about making static poses static and making sure they fit all body types. I know the creator uses one of those adorable doll bodies most of the time and her poses look great with that, but they also work perfectly with my Maitreya body. Serendipity really gets right down into the bone structure of SL bodies to make sure the poses fit. Or at least it seems like she does!
Have you ever had a very negative person in your life? I have! I feel like these poses are kind of how you feel when you're trying to block out the negativity. Keep thinking bright thoughts! Don't let them get to you. I think a lot of people feel like they need to deal with a persons negativity because they are a friend or they care about someone. If they cared about you, they wouldn't dump all their negative energy on to you. You can be supportive without being a dumping ground.
Anyways, rant over! These poses come in a pack of three. I have a picture of all of them at the bottom and they are sold at the {Pose Lover} Event. Let me tell you, this round has an AWESOME selection! Serendipity is there almost every single round and I am always so excited to see what this creator comes up with!
Also, the {Pose Lover} Event runs from the 12th of August until the 28th, so you've still got time go there and find some goodies!
XOXO

Showcase: Flippant - Slipped

Hello Lovelies!
Flippant just came out with a cute strappy little slip dress and there are a few reasons why I am in love with it! First of all, I usually like to keep my love life private, but I will let you in on a little secret. Recently, I started dating someone on SL and he makes me so happy. A lot of times, we enjoy just laying together and cuddling at home. During this time I like to get comfortable and wear sleeping clothes or lounge wear. So a sweet little dress like this is just perfect. It's sexy but cute. Sensual but functional.
I'm wearing the fitted mesh size but it also comes in regular mesh sizes XXS-L. Also, although there is not a specific Maitreya or slink size, the fitted mesh size fits my Maitreya body perfectly. I love that!
Another awesome thing - because it is Flippant and the designer is awesome there is also a HUD with four colors. I will include that down below so you can see all the sweet colors.
So, here ya go... a cute little slip dress perfect for sleeping, cuddling or making breakfast! And it is just the right cut so if your kids wake up while your making breakfast in it, your not showing too much skin. But there is enough skin as well so that your hunny will want to bring you back to bed!

Underneath Your Clothes (LOTD 8/2/16)

Hello Lovelies!
Its been awhile since I have done a look of the day post so I figured, why not right? Even though technically this 'outfit' has no pants! I haven't been feeling very well in real life though so today is a no pants day for me there too!
When I started secondlife, way before mesh was even a thought and everyone used flexies and sculpties, whenever I wasn't feeling very great in real life I would wear these adorable little apple undies and a white tank top. I don't know why but I loved that outfit and it always made me feel a little better. 
For me, clothes have a way of doing that. Of giving you a sort of temporary high or even a low. They are the facade that I talked about in my last post. But it is a double edged sword. What we have to remember is that we are more then what we wear. 
I'd like to say that I'm an empathetic person. I've always had a way with feelings. Whenever anyone would talk I could feel what they were saying. Almost like you could hear what they weren't saying. I think it is a very good trait to have, but it can also become tiresome. Feeling everyone else's emotions all the time creates so many mixed emotions of your own. 
So... sometimes its good to just relax and have a no pants day!

On another note, most of what I'm wearing are gifts from the Gacha Garden, so check em out!

Hidden Behind A Facade

Good Morning Lovelies!
It's been awhile, I know! Sorry! My SL life has gotten a little hectic lately. But I love busyness, it keeps my mind occupied and my body moving!

But aside from all of that...
Let's talk about something important.

We all hide behind a facade every day. We hide our features with makeup, hide our bodies with clothes designed to cinch at just the right spot to make us look thinner. When we speak, we hide the truth with the lies. Why? When does it all stop?
Does it even stop?
What is this cycle of self hate that we keep promoting? Just stop. Take off your makeup. Take off your clothes. Speak the truth and stand in the mirror. Do you really know who your reflection is?

Just a thought.

Showcase: Serendipity - Touch

Hello Lovelies!
I am back with another pose from Serendipity! I am so excited to show you this pose because it is super cute!  I will also include the vendor picture so you can see the bodies better. But this can be a cute couple pose or a sweet friendship/sibling sort of pose.
It is so soft and curious and even has a magical sort of feeling. I love it! Serendipity makes great poses and I've talked before about how well they work with mesh bodies and the sizing and stuff. But it is worth re-iterating. I've bought poses before that haven't matched up body proportions well and trying to take a photo with an arm sticking through a thigh is not only unattractive, but also very frustrating! Serendipity has such great quality poses and I really enjoy them. Check them out at the main store, or even at The {Pose Lover} Event as they usually have a few poses there.
XOXO

"I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas
Pretty soon
So let's spend
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down"

Showcase: Flippant - Serendipity

Hello Beauty's!
Lazy lazy Sunday! That's what today is. I am so tired and other people I've talked said they feel tired too. Maybe it is all the stress in the world. 
Anyways, Flippant came out with this dress for St. Patrick's Day originally, if you remember it was in green and super cute! But now it has a bunch of colors and I just like it a lot. The capped sleeves feel very fairytale-ish to me and I felt it needed a background fitted to it. So... here it is!
Since I've reviewed the dress previously, I'm not going to go into it much, but it does have a pretty awesome hud now and comes in standard mesh sizes XXS-L.
If you want to check out the full review, check it out here.
But for now, I'm going back to my lazy sunday.
Don't forget to always take time for yourself, we all need a breather once in awhile.
XOXO

"From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you"
-Shania Twain, From This Moment On
