IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A BRIGHTER DAY

Been gone for two weeks (or more?) and back now after our family has gone through another life-threatening phase. You just learn how to appreciate every moment with your love ones after that. And that no matter what happens, no matter what situations arise, no matter what darkness clouds you, believe that there's always going to be a brighter day. 

Yay! I'm so glad to wear a very bubbly outfit from Caboodle, Wasabi Pills and Empire to celebrate a glorious day. Today I have the Raven outfit in Pink from Caboodle to match the magical atmosphere and vibrant colors of Alirium. I also took time to wear Wrist Ribbons because it add more happy, flow into my look and aren't ribbons symbols of awareness? (It's quite connected to what happened to us.) Then I also grabbed this cute ombre punkish hair from Wasabi Pills, Vic, a Fifty Linden Fridays exclusive just like the Raven outfit. Lastly, the gladiator heels, Zenobia, I've been desiring for so long Empire has surprisingly released as the January group gift. How lucky! And of course I wore it but only its studs because it's still pretty on its own. Isn't it?   

Hugs! ❤

SOMETIMES A PRINCESS NEEDS A BREAK FROM HER DUTIES...

...just like how we also need a break from our tasks. I realized I've been overworking myself lately. I'm hunting SL gifts, posting notices about it, inventory cleaning and organizing, blogging, scrambling from one photography idea to another, RL to-do's and holidays and more. I was all around! Doing too much than I can handle. Until it dawned on me, I need to take a break. Refresh. Replenish my mind because doing more...is not making me accomplish anything. Not just anything but anything with the finesse that I want. So I'm back after one session of meditation and a very looooong period of sleep much like Sleeping Beauty with more energy and better flow within the day. 

Today I'm wearing G Field's latest group gift, Winter Princess Gown. It is a floor-sweeping ball gown much what we see Disney princesses wear. A strapless gown, it is embellished with flowers in its bodice, upper arm cuffs, and all over the drapes behind. Beautiful and romantic, the draped red skirt, made of cloth with floral designs, compliments the shape of the ball gown well and is accented by ruffles in its hemline.  

This is the type of gown that makes our childhood imaginations finally a dream come true.

Of course I did not forget the hair. Princesses always wear their hair in a way that it carries their overall look and that's always seamless even when bursting with joy and into a song (Seriously how can I do that in real? XD). I thought so should I. So I wore this majestic gown with Solace by Truth, a hair with loose to effortless curls and braids to add more to my whole Disney-princess-for-a-day attire.

Hope you'll feel magical as I did wearing this. Hugs! ❤

THE SNUGGLE IS REAL!

It's really cold these days. I feel it alot! Even if I'm living where it never...EVER...snows. I wonder what will happen if in case it did? Hmm, there might be a lot of casualties. Unless, they give into a not-so-new craze, the "Cuddle Weather." Anyone want to cuddle with me? I give it for free! Snuggle? Anyone!?

So today I hurriedly put on my new Jolly Holiday Mini Sweater I got from Blueberry. A body-fitting one, it has over 43 patterns and colors to choose from! All mesh sizes can wear it so hurry and grab it now. It is available for a limited time only! I chose to wear it with Truth's newest gifts, Pompom Hat and the Bangs Collection (Double Side Wavy), in Pastel Ombre Pink and Blue.

 

I was freezing and about to scream "free hugs!" when I was stopped in my tracks. Cheek Tiramisu Cafe is one serene sim. Don't Anne, don't. I made up for it by finally wearing my Free Hugs Skinny Jeans from Amazing Creations. Then to keep me from tiptoeing on their cold cafe floor, I quickly grabbed my Coco Flat Ankle Boots. Lastly, I want to thank Stuffed Kitty from Andika who accompanied me on my quest for Hugs. Thank you Kitty! Where will I be without you?  

PS: I decided to combine my Original Style with the Quick Fix. I can do it apparently. Sorry for confusing you. You have a spontaneous and very excited friend over here *points at herself like Blake Shelton in The Voice*



Hugs! ❤

HAPPY FEET!

Hi SL Style & More! *waves*

I decided I'm going to give myself a challenge. I want to be as quick as whenever I send notices about the latest and only the best gifts, DAILY that is, in my in-world group #THEGIFTSPOT. So I created "QuickFix" (at least that's its name for now) where I'll only post a Style List. You might say, 'what's new? Many is doing that.' I agree but here's the catch. I'll mash-up gifts released within 1-3days time and create a look from that. I know I'm not the only one (OMG! That's a song. XD) but one more thing that I DO KNOW is that I acquire gifts faster than anyone most of the time AND that I'm great at combining them for a certain detailed look or scene. SO this is worth looking out for. 

To give you an example, check THIS. You can see the long style list and those are all gifts. I'll be posting another one like that next to this again for a photo contest. *crossed fingers that I win* ^_^

Enough of the chit-chat, let's do this! 

PS: This is not me stopping from my other blog style. It's ONLY a challenge and to deliver YOU updated content because that's the goal of #THEGIFTSPOT so it should be present here as well. 

Hugs! ❤

A PRINCESS WHO NEEDS NO SAVING

You, me, we're all responsible for the consequences of our past and present. Our tomorrows all depend on who we are today, who we were yesterday. I learned this the hard way. Once upon a time, my happiness was dependent to someone else. It was a euphoric ecstacy every time but a ravenous parasite of misery when it's gone. Until the sand of delusion run out. I'm done. Happiness depends on yourself. No one else. Love should come from within - the good kind of love, not the vain and not necessarily romantic. Your life is entirely in the palm of your hands. You make your own path. You either tread the road less traveled or tread the road of comfort. You're in control of who you will be. In my case, I have decided. I need no Prince Charming...because even before he comes I already saved myself.

Malignant comes in 2 parts the hand cups and the dress. Without the hands, this could also pass as a promiscuous outfit since it's the only thing covering my tatas. Depending on your skin it may or may not show your "succulence" as well. The dress starts as an underbust corset pulling my waists so tight in (I cannot breathe!) like the ones you see during the Victorian Era. It is held up by strap connecting to a backbone-looking laces which go all the way until my lower back extending to a ball gown.

You can still get it at Pixicat, available in 6 colors and all Standard and Mesh sizes. Have fun!

Hugs! ❤

SEE THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR WOW GLASSES

Being a lady who lives in a chain of 7, 107 islands, I haven't experienced the specks of white sparkles gliding through the wind we call as snow. But as my RL mentor has told me always, "see the world through your WOW glasses." So today I put on mine and explore The Pines at Jacobs Pond with all the wonders in me...because in Second Life everything is just a click away!

Winter is not only a time for snow and its angels but it's also the season of cheers and giving. It rings of presents and love. It's an exciting day everyday as I count the days when I can finally rip those gift wraps, open my box and to find out what this object of delight that teases my curiosity is.

More than that what I love is to stroll around my neighborhood. Smile and wave at my friends adoring their houses' festive decors. Greet the animals wandering around before running away to a sign of threat (me :( ) sends me giggling. Strolling some more and admiring the glorious color of white, the color of peace around me.
I am utmost grateful to Holly, sim owner of The Pines at Jacobs Pond for her kindness to let me into her home and helping me around. It's a tranquil scenic place fit for a time to feel the cold but warm breeze blowing gently on your skin. Warm as the creator's heart. Fit to give yourself precious time to be mindful and for self-reflection.

Now onto what I'm wearing... *smiles wide*

I'm wearing Indented's gift, Aurora, as it provided the skin coverage I prefer this cold wintry morning. It's a long sleeve off-shoulder coat with it halfway unbuttoned down my legs. It shouts conservative and sultry fashion right there. It comes in a fatpack of 4 colors - Red, Black, Green and Brown. 

I wore it with Phedora's Tatiana, a thigh-high boots of 21 colors which you can customize in every possible way with its meticulous HUD. I was so excited to wear this one after I got it from Black Friday. It fits my Slink Hourglass legs, sticks well not making me look heavy with an excess of mesh. It's one of the trademarks I have noticed with any Phedora wear.

I purposely wore it with Truth's Debra, a medium short feminine hair to expose my strong shoulders. I strongly  believe it is one of the sexiest feats of a woman. Lastly, I accentuated it with Graffitiwear's latest subscriber gift and Alterego's Rudy Antlers added some more Christmas into my whole look.

ELEGANCE IS THE BEAUTY THAT NEVER FADES

Hailing myself as a woman of this generation, exuding confidence and finesse is second to none in my book. I am like a bee to honey that I gravitate and swoon over models of such, empowered women as I call them. As I fall in love with their grace, sophistication and world-turning minds, I follow them all over and slowly notice myself blossoming into one. Elegance is an attitude. It is a luxury of any woman.

The first half of the Monthly Midnight Madness has just passed. And as I'm talking about elegance today, sparks flew out of my heart as I laid my eyes on this gown from Sweet Kajira.  Shalma as she is named is a mix of orange and brown long gown of which are separated by lines of gold. These golden borders aren't just placed anywhere but is stitched to style and accentuate the curves of anyone who wears it. To add intricacy onto it, it has brocade details on its cloth too.

As they say less is more. In this look I omitted what I usually include - accessories, tattoos,  shoes (yes, I'm barefoot trodding the cold SL winter) and alot of time brainstorming as I want to stay true to the essence of the statement prior and to plainly showcase her. 

Its back is where it is at. Shalma is a backless gown as well! (Already to die for in my case. Big fan of backless dresses here!) Great idea to make up for all the cover in front. It almost shows my behind but no..just giving any onlooker a peek and a tease. *wink wink*

 

I put it together with Truth's Xia because I love how this hair adds more "lady" and royalty into the whole look without dominating the gown and still allowing me to showcase my sexy back.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

It's December already and a week has passed. For hundreds of women, it is time to get excited again! Time to get crazy! The due date is almost up for the gates of hell to break loose! It's 2 days until the Monthly Midnight Madness! And to celebrate the forthcoming heavy downpour of awesome free limited gifts, I've assembled this from the past round because it's never too late to show off my messy inventory.

I have noticed in the last two rounds of MMM, Salt & Pepper always creates fashion outfits that not only are eye-catchy and sexy as hell but are in themes of blue and iridescence - the other version. Sylvia is an ombre turtle neck dress that is half-bare. To make up for the impending "nakie-ness," it has a pastie which covers the should-be-covered and a set of unrigged armlets for the arm. As it's a backless dress as well, the behind is adorned with a silver chain.  It comes in Slink (all) and Maitreya sizes.
I wore it with Empire's Hyacinth in silver to match the bluish to white  gradient. It is a knee-high open-toe Gladiator heels. It's available in 2 colors - Gold and Silver, and a HUD where outer soles and metals can be customized. It comes for all mesh sizes too. 

Lastly since I'm a vey big fan of spikes and cutesy items, the moment I saw Tabou's Kitty Chic Ears in Sea, it was love at first sight. I had to comine it in because I feel I still lack some 'POW!". The details are just fantastic! Gold spikes much like saying, "don't mess with me" but still adorable to get reactions which I did!

PRETTIEST ARE THE PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY LOVE WITH PASSION IN THEIR EYES

It's a delight how experiences reminding us of our own childhood deeply move us. And it's no different with me. Last Saturday, I watched "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" with my family. It brought back memories of my past - that Harry Potter era of my life. ◕◡◕ From a third person's perspective, it is amazing to witness the smile and wonder I still have for magic, supernatural astonishing creatures and all that is in the J.K. Rowling mind. But what gripped my heart is an aspect so minute that most people may not even care to notice - the intense passion in Newt Scamander's (Eddie Redmayne) eyes. 

The utmost love, care, attention and discpline as strong as that bond of a family that emanates from him despite the roller coaster ride his "beasts" have led him pierced right through me. It brings me swirls of golden wisps of floral happiness. I was brought to such emotional state I was compelled to create this art.

Passion in one's eyes is an underrated "Wonder of the World." It is a feat almost invisible except for the keen. Indeed it is an attraction of silent fireworks and lauding champions. With it's rarity in this era of monochromatic robotic dullness, it is greater than any spell of wizardry in the world combined.

INTO THE FOREST I GO, TO LOSE MY MIND AND FIND MY SOUL...

Today I reminisce a stage in my life, a month ago, where I was nowhere and everywhere at the same time. I was lost. Lost my passion on an identity I've had for years. Succumbed to neglect and solitude.

But now I'm smiling. Glow and colors reappear! Still the darkness lingers but who would want to stay when I have the love and support of people most valuable to me...AND a newly-found-much-delayed interest! ❤

Hi SL Style & More! readers!

I'm Anne Lovingheart, founder of #THEGIFTSPOT, joining the awesome Kai Demen to give SL S&M some "sweet lady" flavors.

I'm a big fan of scenic sims. It's my simple way to refresh my deluttered mind. Discovering that Sleepy Sim has just that magical ambiance I adore, right there and then I have to take a memento.

My whole attire was to fit the Knitted Jersey dress from Eyelure. I put off grabbing this because I thought it looks flat. But I was proven wrong. I was amazed in fact. It fit my curves well plus the subtle lines on its cloth add more. Since it is a short dress, I opted for #EMPIRE's Hibiscus to give me a bit of cover. (Wear an undergarment to cover your vajayjays too!) Incuded the Tattoo Hennah from Carol G as I don't want to feel so bare. Lastly since I noticed my outfit's being overtaken by black, I had to give myself some pop of color and wore Peaches' Peach Choker in red.
