Tangerine the bullet made you, justifies the one who saves you...

Tangerine

I'm sorry for the lack of posts this week, RL has been busy for me and I've had very little time for anything, which makes my inner shopaholic pout...lol.  When Luna Jubilee announced that Tangerine was this weeks colour, I thought two things. First were the lyrics for the song Tangerine by Moist..lol, Second was that I definitely didn't own anything Tangerine. Not that I don't like the colour, just not one I usually consider while shopping. When I logged in Friday and saw everyone chatting away in the colour challenge group. I realized with how busy I'd been I forgot to even look for something tangerine.,to make matters worse, I also realized I was near broke..not good..lol. So, I quickly hit the SL Marketplace to see what I could find with what little lindens I had. Much to my relief that is where I found this pretty silk and lace camisk from Jad'z. Its a very simple yet beautiful piece although I should warn it is also very sheer, In the picture above I'm wearing two layers , to keep my girls from being sunburned..lol. I 've paired it with one of my favorite pair of jeans from Zaara.

Happy, Sad, Friday...

Periwinkle

Periwinkle is the colour for this weeks Luna Jubilee Challenge.  I have to be honest, I don't normally like periwinkle.  Its a very confusing colour... not blue enough to be a blue , and not purple enough to be a purple.  Like it tried for both but wimped out..lol.   However, this Luxe Boatneck top from Happy may have changed my mind. The the cut of this top makes it very feminine and lovely to wear. Its available in 8 different colours.  The pants I am wearing are also from Happy. They come 7 different colours and the flares at the bottom make them a cute and fun piece for any inventory.  Although I spent a lot of time browsing through Happy today, I experienced a great sadness when I read Strawberry Singh's post about the AM Radio builds closing. I only recent began visiting these remarkable sims and regret that I did not go and enjoy them sooner.  I really have no words to describe them. They are beautiful true works of art and unlike anything I have seen in SL. From what I have read these builds are scheduled for closing in six months time. I urge you all to visit these incredible places before they are no longer with us.

Enjoy The Silence...

Enjoy the silence...

Most of us live very noisy lives. The sound of the people around us...of vehicles passing..the hum of electronics and much more constintly surround us. We've learned to drown it all out as " background noise" but it is ever present. All this sounds has us at times afraid, we automatically panic if things are to quiet, thinking something must be wrong. But with all this sound around us we have very little chance to listen..to truly listen..to ourselves..to the beauty around us. If you ever get the chance, take yourself out to a large open field...make sure there are no roads..no people..no laptops..no stereos..nothing.  Stand in this great open space..close your eyes .and just enjoy the silence.

Eggplant....

EggPlant2

Here we are, week 24 of the Luna Jubilee Colour Challenge with Eggplant.  Let me tell you, if i never see another eggplant item again it will be to soon. Not because I don't like the colour and not because it was hard to find.  You know those times when you go through everything in your inventory and nothing makes you happy? So you go out shopping and end up spending way to many lindens on a ton a fabulous stuff only to have them not make you happy either?  For this challenge that was me. Now there is really only one solution to this problem....Suck it up and get dressed.  Its not the clothes , it you, your in a funk and there's nothing you can do about it but wait it out. You know all the items you have are great..that's why you bought them, so pick something slap it on and go with it. I believe everyone should have atleast one ribbed sweater. They pretty much go with anything and are really easy to wear. If your in the market for one, this Roll Neck Sweater by Reale is a fantastic choice. These cute high - waisted, belted shorts are this weeks TDR Blue contribution from Baiastice.  At 60L you really can't pass them up.  Now if you'll all excuse me I'm going to lock myself in the house until my inner stylist stops pouting.

let it pour down...

in the rain


Spring is upon us and with Spring comes rain. I love to go out walking in the rain, specially when it's pouring down in great big drops. I love feel of those drops splashing on my face and the smell of the wet earth. Everything seems so alive then and the whole experience is very soul cleansing.  Kyoot is currently having their annual store wide spring sale, everything is on for 50L or less! While I was there I picked up this, way to cute Ground Beneath Her Feet dress. It's one of their new spring items and comes in five lovely prints. It's fast becoming one of my favorites. I should tell you that I'm not really sure when the sale will be over. It was advertised to take place between April 7th - 10th, but has obviously been extended as today is the 15th. So, jump on over there before you miss your chance to get some great items at some really rockin prices.

For Our Animal Friends...

malt2.3

Project FUR Japan has so far raised over 6 million lindens for JEARS ( Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support).  It's wonderful to see the SL Community come together to do what they can for their fellow human and animal a like. The fantastic outfit above,  is just one of the contributions made by  Malt.
The cute sculpted top surprised me with how easy it was to fit, I usually have a lot of issues getting sculpted items to fit, but this one was a snap. I just love how the frills make it cute but the open front still makes it a bit sexy.  The belt comes with a resize menu as well as colour change options for the metal details and beads. The capri leggings give it the right touch for a fun and flirty outfit for any occasion. I believe this outfit was specifically put together for the event so this maybe your only chance to pick up. If you haven't done so already, make sure to head over to Project FUR Japan. You can pick up this and many other fabulous items, all knowing you money is going to a very worthy cause.

MM1

After a nice relaxing weekend Mondays are always a drag...but not anymore with Moody Monday.  Moody Mondays work in a similar way to Fifty Linden Fridays. Every week the creators/designers involved will bring out a new or reworked item for just 55L! All the items are of at least a 150L value and if this week is any judge of things to come we should be in for some great items. pictured above are 4 of my favorites from this weeks list. Elymode's contribution was this cute and cosy Lazy Day outfit, perfect for when you just want to be comfy and casual. Altitude put out this fantastic little skybox, it has two rooms, lots of windows, wonderful textures and is only 46 prims! Over at Magnifique Poses you can find this great Shy Standing pose set. The set contains 5 poses all well made I am using Shy Standing  Pose 2 in the picture above...

Last but definitely not least, Mood put out this lovely Bandara Fleur Ensemble. The ensemble includes; rings for both left and right hand, bracelet, necklace and matching earrings. If your as much of a shopaholic as I am Moody Mondays is going to come in really handy!

moose1

To answer your first question, yes I am riding a moose. As for the rest of your questions..don't ask..lets just chalk it up to "one of those" nights. As for the moose, forget the moose, he's not what I want to draw your attention to. These awesomesauce Olea boots from Surf Couture are.

I'm normally not into cowboy style boots, but these boots are just way to cute to pass up. The details are fantastic as is the worn leather texture used for them. I found them really easy to fit  and a lot of fun to wear.  If you haven't been to Surf Co I would definitely recommend heading over there, lots of fabulous stuff! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get this big fella to take me home where I can go to sleep and forget about country music, bush parties and giant moose .:P

As-per-gas?..

asp2.2

What do we have for week 23 of the Luna Jubilee Color Challenge ? ...Asparagus!  When I was a little girl my grandfather used to call it "as-per-gas" I think he did just to get me to forget I had to eat it..lol.  I made it my point this week to check out some stores I had never been to before. I have tendency to get in a rut and frequent the same stores , but I wanted to broaden my shopping horizons. Lucky for me that I did, as I found this great top at MichaMi .  It comes in a variety colours and can be dressed up or down for a more casual feel. It was also great luck this week that Bax Coen is currently offering The Prestige Boots in Metallic Olive at 50% off for VIP group members. At half off these boots are definitely worth picking up, They come with an easy to use menu that allows you to fit them, change the upper cuff style, as well as. colour change between 3 different shades of green!

Help Japan..


As of late, there seems to be one natural disaster after another, The tragedy in Japan being the latest. Our hearts go out to the people of Japan who have lost their homes, lives, and those who are still struggling in the aftermath.  If your like me you wish there was more you could do to help, but for those of us living in places to far away to be of direct help it can sometimes be frustrating finding ways to contribute.  Which is why I am thankful to the generous creators in Second Life who come together at times like this to hold fundraisers and various charity events to help raise funds for relief efforts. The Help Japan fundraiser is running till April 20th, with 100% of the proceeds going to Japan Red Cross.  There are lots of great designers who have donated some fantastic items. If you haven't been already go and check it out theres a little something for everyone and you'll know your lindens are going for a good cause.
