April in Paris

Well, until April 4th I'd rather be in the Purple Moon store than Paris because Poulet is offering up a FABULOUS Sale and Hunt!  Everyone can enjoy 50% off Everything during the Spring Sale (except FatPacks which are always 50% off) - dresses, lingerie, shoes, jewelry, hair... All of it! You don't have to be a member, but I highly recommend you join the group because group members get wonderful gifts and exclusive events that make the tiny L$50 join fee more than worth it. And just for members of the VIP group is the Dress Me Purple III Hunt with 10 easy to find white eggs containing some fabulous purple (my fav color!) creations (check the NC for details). Oh and the bunny containers are to DYE for (get it?). I kept all of them!

Below are some examples of the Hunt and Sale offerings. The first 2 are from the sale and the remaining 3 are some of the prizes from the Hunt. Click on the photo for the full size version. (Wilah Outfit, Adley Dress, Amelie Dress, Grace O'Malley Skirt with Vera Blouse, Marguerite)

Also, I'm wearing the brand new Nana Akeruka Deluxe head. If you are a fan of the 2.6 version of Lulu then this is the upgrade for you! Izara, of 7 Deadly Skins, has already started making appliers. This one is Lindy in Iza's newest Butter skin tone.

Blue Moon

January 2018 we will have 2 full moons, making the second full moon at the end of the month a true Blue Moon. But in Second Life you don't have to wait like we do in real life! I'm laying back soaking in the blue moon glow in this adorable Sn@tch Jimin Dress Top combo. It's their current special for only $50L and comes with an amazing multi-pattern HUD. You can find it outside the store between the Riot vendors and the Lucky Letter boards. Click on the Photo!

And here is what the HUD looks like! Amazing, am I right?!

City By the Bay

All I want to do is stare out at the fog rolling across the bay and over the city beyond. I actually did live in the San Francisco area once. I would never have been able to afford this particular location, but I can pretend in Second Life that my home is perched above the Marin coastline overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and the beautiful City By the Bay. It's no wonder I am having a hard time concentrating on my blog writing today! Still this awesome group gift by Entice is worth the effort! Entice is free to join as I write and you can pick up several lovely gifts. This gorgeous dress is the newest and is called Eye of the Needle. It has a HUD with three equally beautiful patterns - you'll have a hard time choosing which one to wear! I'm also wearing my favorite new heels from KC Couture called Tiara with the cutest little tiara complete with gems. Sporting KC's famous color HUD with so many options, I'll be wearing this dainty shoe often! Click on the Photos!

Melting in the Dark

The weather continues to be cold and gloomy (and even dangerous - praying for California) which means a little cabin fever can set in. When I get bored I like to be .... a little different. As if being a White Elf isn't different enough, that is. Ha! Today I'm going gothic Lolita with a cute, simple look. I enjoy shopping the Marketplace for Gacha resales and fell on the dainty little dress I'm wearing for surprisingly cheap considering it's a Rare. You have to be careful when buying resale Gachas. There are a lot of copybots out there and the old adage of "if it's too good to be true" holds true in SL as well as RL. Reviews on Gachas on the MP are pretty much useless since they are resale and the seller isn't the creator. Still, I've bought enough that I could open a Gacha resale store of my own! LOL.

In My Room

/Sways softly to the dulcet harmonies that only the Beach Boys can make.

Can you tell I'm ready for warmer weather already? LOL! However, until Spring finally arrives we have great weekly events like Fifty Linden Friday (FLF) to help wile away the time. For the uninitiated (as I was a few months ago), FLF is a weekly event where a rotating list of sellers offer new, current or custom items for $50L. As a member of the group you get a notecard at midnight SLT every Friday morning with that week's list of sellers. You can also see photos of the items offered on Seraphim's website and participate in the group chat. There's usually close to 2 dozen sellers each week with items that vary from clothing to furniture to landscaping and everything in between. There are times when I find myself buying almost everything on the list and other times when there are just a few items that interest my pocketbook. But it's always fun and always a surprise and all the effort the sellers put into providing these discounted items is so appreciated!

Yesterday's FLF was the first one of 2018 and I was excited by several of the offerings. That's one of the benefits of FLF, you get to decide if you want the item or not and often have demos to try first! In the first photo I have a mix of FLF items and non-items (mostly to complete the "set look"). We start off in Photo (1) with the LISP - Heritage Panel Set 2 (Artemis). There were two sets available, but I only needed the shades that came in Set 2. What a great way to frame out a room! Then there is the adorable plant stand from Anhelo that I couldn't say no to. The rain boots are from fri.day and are unrigged so you can fit them to your feet (although there is a warming about fitting to mesh feet other than Maitreya). There was also a lovely pair of high heels with attached legwarmers in charcoal. I'm wearing a couple of items from FLF also. The high-waist leggings are from Lazybones (a matching crop top was available, as well) and the amazingly cute boat shoes are from Reign with flat, tippy toe, sloppy and stepped on versions along with Reign's fantastic color HUD. Click on the Photo!

I got a few more items, but wanted to be sure to share the precious Babydoll Slip-On dress from NYU - Photo (2). It's a two piece outfit so you can wear them as separates and really makes me want it to be warmer! But the Over-The-Wrist Tee makes it comfy in the cold. BTW, if you see something you have to have, many of the stores keep their FLF items out over the weekend so click on their links and check it out! Click on the Photo!

Putting on the Ritz

It was a hard fought battle of hours, but I eventually made it into the Truth Hair VIP Holiday Party Saturday - only to crash to desktop twice in mere minutes.... Oh well, at least I got a few photos! And we had access to the live stream of music, DJs and entertainers through that night. Many thanks to Truth Hawk and his moderators, Amber Daze and LadyEllenT, for putting together a fantastic end to 2017! The champagne flowed (or at least pixeled), the music had the VIPers on their feet all night and the entertainers were engaging and ... entertaining!

While waiting to gain entrance to the party I decided on a little photo op to show off my dance outfit so at least someone would get to see it! =)

Proof that I actually DID make the party - even if I did crash and burn after just a few minutes!

Mustn't forget Truth's gorgeous December VIP gift (given out at the party). Tinsley is a perfect morning after a party fancy hairdo slightly slept-in look!

For Nau Lang Syne

Okay, so I switched up the song a bit, but since returning to Second Life I've made more new friends than I've found old ones. One such new friend is the lovely, sweet and oh so talented LadyEllenT Resident. a relatively new SL member in comparison to my own (albeit interrupted absence) antiquity who knows more about our favorite time-waster than I've forgotten! She blogs for several retail stores in SL and is also an expert bargain shopper. She invited me over to "collab" on a photo shoot and I eagerly agreed! So I donned my newest favorite gown and we welcomed in the New Year in style! A little Dom Pérignon made the evening sparkle even more!

I'm still learning the ropes of this blogging business so it might be a while before I can return the favor, but I am certainly looking forward to future collaborations!

I'm on FIRE!

Today I am on FIRE in my new outfit by MOoH which you can find at the #147 round of the Designer Circle which runs till February 11st.
The lovely Iclyn skin in Pineapple is also available at the Designer Circle and it is by 7 Deadly S{k}ins. The eyes I am wearing are by IKON and today I am wearing the Charm eyes in Forrest. There are plenty colours to choose from though!
The hair I am wearing today is all by Truth. I am wearing Lone (which is the short curly hair) and Ice, which is the long romantic hair, and Austen hair, which is the hair with the cap (you can wear it without cap too!).
So which outfit made me turn blond? Well MOoH has this awesome Sandy Urban Harness dress on offer at the Designer Circle. The dress fits Slink, Maitreya and system avatars and comes with a colour change HUD which gives you 10 tops, skirts, metal and straps colours. If you only like the top or only the skirt, you can buy them separate.
And this is the outfit that set me on FIRE!

I'm so in love with you, I hope you know...

I have been listening to the song called Say you won't let go by James Arthur while looking at this lovely dress by Glitter Fashion and thinking about a special person...
The song fits great with the dress and my feelings.
Glitter Fashion is having a 60% off sale till January 29th so if you like this look or you just like the great designs you can find with a huge discount at Glitter Fashion go take a look before the sale ends!

FIND YOUR BALANCE

Life is crazy unpredictable, utterly chaotic. It can hit us in every and in any aspect which can, may leave us gasping for breath. Ans one of my ways to cope with that? Workout, yoga or meditation. Yoga at its core means union - of the body, mind and soul. It's a balancing act that covers all. It gives strength of body, clarity of thoughts, laser focus and the gift of consciousness, the joy of being in the moment. To sum it all, if I am the high-wire artist Philippe Petit of the film, The Walk, yoga is my pole that saves me from my doom.

Hello! So today, I'm wearing Pacagaia Creation's latest group gift, Top & Shorts. It is a red tight sportswear which I love because I didn't have any worries of having my ohlalas peeking as I do my yoga routine this glorious sunny day by the lake at Devin. If you don't mind I still have some downward dog and more stretching to do before I head off and start my day. Tata! 😄

Hugs! ❤
