Country Strong ~ Hair Fair 2014 Entry

My Hair Fair 2014 Photo Contest Entry!

I know you see me
Like some wide eyed dreamer
That just rolled in off a dusty mid west bus
Yeah, on the outside I look fragile
But on the inside is something you can’t crush

Cause I'm country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on
You may fool me
And I'll fall
But I won’t stay down long
Cause I’m country strong

I have weathered
Colder winters; Longer summers
Without a drop of rain
Push me in a corner
And I’ll come out fighting
I may lose but I ‘ll always keep my faith

Cause I’m country strong
Hard to break
Like the ground I grew up on
You may fool me
And I’ll fall
But I won’t stay down long
Cause I’m country strong

To see what I'm wearing and for my location, keep reading!

Pictures of You ~ A Shoetopia Sneak Peek

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel

Lyrics from Pictures of You by The Cure

Shoetopia starts tomorrow and although there are gazillions of adorable shoes to be had, I decided to show off some gacha goodies you can snag at this event along with these nicely textured flats from Ingenue. From poses to decor to Slink addon nails, the gacha prizes are wonderful and those of you who know me best know that I am a bit of a gachaholic so I had to play mostly all of these machines. Some of the machines have even generously donated a portion of their earnings to Shoetopia's chosen charity, Soles4Souls. Right now, this fabulous charity is aiding those affected by the tycoon in the Phillipines so be sure to stop by the gachas and try your luck after you've exhausted yourself trying on all the pretty shoes. Also, be sure to hit Ingenue first because you can't go wrong with a basic flat!

To see what I'm wearing and the decor, keep reading! Oh and sorry, no LM's until the event opens tomorrow!

What Dreams May Come

Hi all! Today I was fooling around most of the day with the mirror image tools Berry blogged about the other day. I loved how cool and crisp her pics looked that I just had to give it a try. I fell in love with this absolutely breathtaking new number from *LpD* and my idea just took off from there. Since I had such an awesome night on SL tonight, I'm going to be short and just post some pics. 

I'm very happy with the way these turned out. It was fun taking these pics and I hope to get better at mirror images in the future. This kind of blogging really relaxes me. I hope everyone has a great day! <3

Animalistic at the Beach

Hey all! Yep, it's time for another Kis is half naked post brought to you by Blacklace. Omg! Mesh lingerie has arrived at Blacklace and I've got a peek to show off for you. This sexy partially mesh number (the corset and the skirt panel are mesh) is their newest release and it comes in 4 animalistic patterns just begging for you to wear. You can wear it with the sexy skirt for a more conservative look or you can strip down to your panties for a little naughty fun. Since I'm a little naughty and a little nice, I'm showing off both looks.

I decided to bring my jungle princess look to the beach because I wanted to show off this highly detailed mesh beachside bed that Trompe Loeil has out for the Home and Garden Expo. This cabana features a cuddle bed complete with animations and changing textures as well as a sitting bench and surrounding palm tree and beach rock decors. Best of all, all proceeds from the sale of this item go to Relay for Life. If you're looking to nab some new beach decor, why don't you swing by Trompe Loeil at the H & G Expo and support a good cause?

And now it's time for me to slip into something a little more comfortable. Or maybe that's slip out of something. Who knows! Anyways, be sure to check out both these stores for more fantastic mesh goodies! *Hugz and Kissez*

Light The Way

Hi readers! Miss me? I know I haven't blogged in a few days but I was distracted by a house! *Giggles* Hey, it can happen! Anyways, I felt a little guilty so I forced myself to put out a post for you. Rezipsa Loc has this cutesy owl tee available right now. It's in St. Patrick's Blue so if you haven't gotten your 52 WoC post done yet, you might want to check this out. I am a little behind in that challenge. *Coughs* Okies, a lot behind so I didn't do a post for that. Doesn't mean I can't rock this top and the matching nails also available.

I'm also showing off this new MESH flannel shirt from Leri Miles Design. This versatile little number comes in a variety of colors and sizes so you love MESH, be sure to check it out. I believe there is even a discounted color available at The Tropicalia Big Bazaar if you're looking for a steal.

Cupid's Chokehold

Hi peeps! A little bit of Perfect Wardrobe goodness mixed in with some fabulous cheapies I found on the Marketplace plus a new hair from Tameless. I'm not much of a fan of Valentine's Day but I am a huge dork so I thought it'd be fun to do a cupid look. Lucky for me to have found these wings, arrows and headband from Papillion Design on the Marketplace. These little cheapies (you have to go to the store for the arrows and join the group!) and my fun wild hair from Tameless that has tinted streaks really tied together my look. If you're waiting to be a cutesy cupid, check out my style card below and get to shopping!

The whole time I was doing these pics, this song was in my head:

Blog Hero Challenge Week 2: Don't Fear the Reaper

Omg! I'm so behind. This blog challenge is already on week four and here I am just doing week two. Lol! This is the reason I don't do well with challenges. So much to blog, so little time. Anyways, this week's challenge is the song, "Don't Fear the Reaper". I'm not really familiar with this song but I found a cool SIM with some reapers and hung out with them and this crow that talks back. Kinda creepy but kinda fun! Anyways, on with the pic! I'm not used to taking pics in any other windlight than my pretty ones so forgive me if the pic is a little dark. I don't know how to get a dark pic light without ruining the dark effect.

A Little Late

So I'm a little late featuring the Fifty Linden Friday specials that I picked up but since I took the pictures, I'm showing them off. I don't know if these items are still out at the discount prices but both are worth looking for. First up is this chic short hairstyle from Elikatira. Again is its name and I feel so mature wearing it but it's beautifully done so I had to show it off. Perfect for a little cocktail dress I think!

And speaking of cocktail dresses, this little number by Willow makes you think of the kind of dress that you can throw a blazer over for that business casual look and then ditch the jacket for a lovely walk through town or to an after work dinner party. I love the silk like texture of it and the color combination really works well together.

Well, this blogger has an early morning tomorrow. So sorry about the delayed pics but both of these items are worth even their regular price. Hugs readers! Till next time!

The Reason For the Teardrops On My Guitar

*Insert teardrops here* Yesterday, I got wind that TeaSoup is sadly closing its doors on June 17th. The good news is this means a sale. All of TeaSoup's poses are marked down to 25-75 lindens. I happened into TeaSoup via another blog. See what happened is I saw this absolutely gorgeous light wood acoustic guitar prop and just had to have it. I picked it up a few weeks ago but with all the hunts going on, it got lost in my inventory until I was reminded of it yesterday. Of course, I had to go see what else I could snap up at the store and was happy to find a huge present waiting in the middle of the store. It seems the owner of TeaSoup has decided to give away some old hunt gifts as well as the group gift of the guitar I picked up. Yay! Now, I have 8 awesome guitar poses instead of 5.

Next, I gotta talk about this top. I love paperdoll but obviously overlooked this one and even though it was a release back in April, I have to show it off. Olivia is the perfect date top with a soft flowy skirt and button down neckline that is flirty and fun. It can be worn as either a short, sexy dress or over some jeans for that ultra casual vibe. I love the soft green color of this choice because it's not too bold but not too boring.

While I was saying goodbye to TeaSoup, I checked out their neighboring store, PR!TTY. I liked this hair even though I have quite a few in this style but for 199 lindens with accessories, I thought it was a bargain. It makes me feel pretty! *Giggles* Well, actually this whole look does. I have to thank Dailyn Holfe for giving out the landmark for this roughly beautiful sim. I think I've exhausted you all with pictures so I'll say goodbye! Hugz and Kissez!
