"Now the time is now-tomorrow"
And if now is tomorrow, we should celebrate today, right? Yes, I often pick lesser known songs as my blog post titles and some of them might make you think "huh?". But, if you take the time to read the lyrics and maybe listen to the song itself, you just might go "huuuhhh..." instead.
Well, I celebrated today by dreaming about tomorrow in ruins from yesterday. Simply Shelby has a fabulous landscaping ruin that is so customizable. (SS participates in several promotional price groups - like 25L Tuesday and 1L 1Hour.) You can pull pieces out, move them around, unlink and relink, resize - did I say it was fabulous? There are also several single and couple (PG) poses to play with. I used this piece in my previous blog, but it's so versatile that I had to again!
Through my Facebook blog page I found this gorgeous capri outfit from Xtravagance for only 99L on the Marketplace - with an extensive color changing HUD for both pieces! I paired it my friend, Zonia Belic's lovely earrings, a Maxi Gossamer necklace and my KC Couture's Darcy heels. If you join the KC Couture group, you can get promo pricing on some items like I did with the Darcy heels. Click on the Photos and see my Flickr for a fun outtake and more photos!
2017 was a year of change for my family and upheaval for the world. If tomorrow is indeed now, I'm looking for 2018 to be a year of serenity for my family and am praying it's the start of unheralded unity and peace for the world.

Well, like Satchmo sang, "what I own is not a large amount", but I'm going to sit in the sun and be happy with my lot. And why wouldn't I? I didn't need much for this fabulous outfit from Apple May Designs and the gorgeous high heeled sandals from KC Couture. Apple May Designs currently has these two sexy outfits, AMD RIbbon & Kalani in Black Stripe and Pink Stripe, available to group members via Lucky Boards. Group join fee is currently only $25L and more than worth the tiny price. If you are too impatient to wait for your letter, they are available for $49L each instead. Going fashionable with the outfits are KC Couture's Darcy heels with KC's awesome color HUD. The shoes are convertible, meaning you can wear them with a super high platform or a flat outsole. I strongly recommend joining KC Couture's VIP group for only $25L at present. Not only do you get several great gifts, you get notice of incredible special offers and deals.
I'd also like to take the opportunity to make everyone aware of my own little shoppe, Enchanted Auras, where I offer both premade and custom Shapes for Akeruka heads on the Maitreya Lara body. Right now I am offering all shapes at a $99L promotional price. The shape below is called Diamond and is fitted to the Akeruka Kumiko head. I'm not quite finished tweaking it, but plan to make it available in the next few days along with another new shape. If you are looking for a more custom look IM me ingame for more information. Click on the Photos (tell me if she looks familiar!).

Some days Real Life can make you appreciate Second Life all the more, right? I haven't had as much SL time as I'd like this past week so when I found some extra lying around, I used it to catch up on some of the fantastic Advent Calendars and gifting many of our generous creators have out for their customers. Then I took advantage of a visit from a reindeer family for a couple quick selfies!
Most notable would be the LAQ Neve head that is on SALE until the 24th. It's the first LAQ head I've gotten, but since I have begun making shapes, I thought I'd give it a try. I think I still need to tweak it some more, but I hope you all can appreciate my attempt at something other than AK heads! LOL! The skin applier is (surprise) 7 Deadly Skins Davina in caramel - with freckles! The lipstick is 7DS Juicy in Brick. The fun hair is the Free Xmas Hair from Exxess with HUDs for both the hair and the attached snowflake headband! It even has a bento version!
This fabulous dress is the Christmas version of My Tux from PurpleMoon in a versatile red and green tartan print that can easily be worn all year long. It's part of PM's Advent event. As for the boots, well I've been looking quite some time for thigh high boots and was beyond thrilled when KC came out with these. They come with KCs awesome color HUD and can be found in her store or MP for only 195L!

Hi, I'm Fionne Burleigh, your new roving reporter for SL Style & More! LOL! Actually, this is my first attempt at blogging for Second Life and Kai was considerate enough to risk.... er, invite me to post on his blog and give a bit of a female perspective. I joined Second Life back in 2005 but left in 2009 - back when sculpties and mega prims were innovative! 😶 I recently returned and let me tell you - it's been eye opening! Still, I'm having fun, making new friends and learning, relearning and unlearning the SL ropes. I tend to look for bargains and ways to help new residents. I'm a member of 1 Linden 1 Hour, 25L Tuesday and Fifty Linden Friday as well as several of the best gift giving groups in SL! We have some awesome and generous creators whose talent blows me away! If you know of any I might not be a member of, shoot me an IM in game or leave a message here.
Here's my first photo for the blog - me all decked out for Christmas in front of my little shoppe.
