Life Happens

And I'm referring to the Brandon & Leah song by that name.... I haven't been active on the blog lately because, well - see above! 

I participated in today's 25L Tuesday event and with a few other recent acquisitions came up with a cute idea for this photo shoot! The Laura outfit and calf wraps are from On A Lark (both from 25L Tuesday) and I paired them with Noir's strappy Edith heels for a near perfect match. The beautiful Lucie skin (LAQ based with Omega appliers) and shape are in the current VIP woman's gift from 7 Deadly Skins (note the new location). I suggest you run, not walk, to grab it during the 5th Anniversary event before it's switched out. The Join Fee is currently 250L and is more than worth it for the gifts, specials and goodies Izara offers her VIPs. (If that's too steep for you, though, don't despair because there are 2 Midnight Mania boards and Daily Offers that do not require group membership.) Lastly, the hair is a Truth Hair VIP group gift called Carla (join fee is 350L and you get a free VIP only hair style every month plus periodic discounts and sales).

I get so moody when it rains as much as it has lately.....

Reindeer Games

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!
