Pondering

Lately I've been questioning the meaning of why I'm on SL and considering how I interact with people. I realized I place too much value on some of the friendships I've made on here so I'm trying to spend less time focusing on those things and more time doing what makes me happy. It saddens me that I've misjudged people so badly these last few months but even SL is a learning experience so I guess I'll just chalk it up to one of those.

Anyways, my look today is built around this adorable top that I picked up at Collabor88 by Fashionably Dead. I love the light glittery threads through it and the demure neckline.

I also saw one of my good friends wearing this DeLa hair in a post so I told her I was going to copycat her and rock it today too because I had forgotten about it. It's just too cute to be forgotten!

I'm also wearing these sexy stilettos by Mstyle that you can pick up for half off right now. I love basic pumps so I just had to grab these.

Finally, I just have to mention this cute tattoo that is newness from Sweet Leonard. It's a heart wrapped around an infinity symbol and even though, I'm not in love currently, I loved the design so I decided to rock it. Sweet Leonard's been on a roll lately cranking out new goodies so be sure to pay them a visit.

Silence

I had planned on posting this pic today and talking about fashion and trivial things going on in my life but with the recent tragedy that happened in Connecticut today, I don't feel like it's the time or place. Instead, I will take this time to say a prayer for the families affected by today's terrible events. We should all be thankful for the little things we have in life and never take anything for granted because you never know what the future holds. It's just sad that something like this makes us realize that. May those children rest in peace and may their families be able to heal and move forward from this eventually holding onto only good memories of the loved ones they've lost.

Goodbye Filthy

*cries loudly* I just got notice that my absolute favorite skin store is closing. As many of you know, Filthy has always been my go to store for skins. I love the subtle makeups and glossy feel of their skins and think they suit my shape best. Although there are many other skin stores that I love, Filthy is always the one I feel most natural wearing.While I'm sobbing over the idea that I'll never get another new Filthy skin, I'd like to point out that all skin packs are on sale for 299L until December 5th with all previous group gifts set out for free. The owner, Alexandra Barcelos, says she's going to be fully focused on mesh now instead so I will still be keeping my eye on her and I can still rock my favorite Filthy skins right?

Most of my look today is newness I've picked up across the grid. Blah has out these adorable dresses that come with boobeh appliers for those of you who like to rock the Lolas and I found a new hair store by the owner of Burley called taketomi via my bestie Kimbra that has lots of cuteness in it.

I'm also rocking these fun poses by Demise of Flight called the Rock Steady Poses. I don't know how she got the fingers to move on their own but I'm loving that there are no hand attachments or extra steps needed to be taken in editing. If you haven't checked out Demise of Flight yet, get your booty over there!

American Gothic

The Costume Ball started last yesterday and I like most of you readers just had to go grab a few goodies. When I saw this masquerade ball themed hair from Ploom, I just knew I had to have it. It comes with three versions so if you're not a fan of hiding your pretty face behind a mask, you don't have to and if you just want the updo without a mask, you have that option too. Since I'm going to a Halloween party tonight on SL, I figured I'd show it off the way I'll be wearing it.

I'm also showing off this new version of paper.doll's Dark Magic dress. I loved the previous version of this dress in its shorter version but this version screams classy and gothic to me. Perfect for a visit to a haunted organ room as you can see. Finishing up my gothic LOTD are these lovely poses from Label Motion. Label Motion is one of my go to spots for poses so I was happy to nab this discounted pack at the event. If you're looking for a classier look this Halloween, be sure to check out these stores at The Costume Ball.

It's Haunted!

Hi all! I got lots of compliments on this outfit so I figured I'd show it off via some bloggage. If you're not aware, [NV] and Suicidal Unborn are having a sale with select items for 50% off. This sweet halter style dress is one of the many awesome items you can pick up there and it's available in a variety of colors. I paired it with this awesome antique style necklace from Kosh that is available at The Men's Department (yes, they have unisex stuffs too!) and the newest freebie eyes from Poetic Colors. The rest of my look is oldies but goodies I tossed on. You know I can never get enough of these Deco boots and I love how they make my sexy dress look more girl next door. I don't know about you but sometimes I feel like I only wear an outfit once so I've been trying to make more use out of things I've bought in the past.

Now onto location! I'm blogging today from The Haunted Mountain of Marathon Caye. This sim is awesome and yes, it's Halloween themed so it's perfect for pics right now. I found it on the Second Life Destination Guide and even though I'm only showing one teensy part of this fantastically done sim, you need to check out the rest. Well, I better get out of here before I get hit with one of these flying books, be sure to check out all the stores and this location. Huggies!

I'm Not The One Who's So Far Away

Hi readers! I've got some goodies to show you that will be available at the upcoming Fashion Voodoo event on August 10th by Plastik. Plastik's releases for this event have blown me away. I'm loving this pinstriped skirt so much I don't ever want to take it off. They also have a dress, earrings, and another top and skirt out exclusive for the event so be sure to check out their booth at this event.

In other news, today is a good picture taking day for me. As some of you know, I'm my worst critic and usually wind up hating the pictures I take. Today was an exception though and I'm sooooo happy with the way these turned out. I partially think it's due to this awesome sim. It's called Redemption Hill and if you're looking for an eerie place to take pictures, you should check this one out because it's so well done and there are plenty of interesting areas to take shots at. It's definitely in my top 10 fave sims on the grid and I'm absolutely certain you'll love it too!

Ahhh Zombies or a Preview!

Hi bloggers! A couple of my favorite hunts started today so I just had to show off all the awesomeness I found today. I'm featuring some goodies compliments of the Zombie Popcorn Hunt. This hunt features 76 excellent stores and runs till June 15th so look on the list and tp on over to your favorites. You won't be disappointed!

First, I gotta mention this absolutely gorgeous skin that is a prize courtesy of Glam Affair. It's a pale creamy skin with reddish eye makeup that makes you think of sexy vampires. It comes with a heavy brow and a light brow option as well as four eyebrow shapes. I haven't checked out Glam Affair in a bit but I must say this skin makes me want to visit there again.

Next, I have to show off these awesome cargo pants from KOSH. They are totally cool and casual with a dark jean color and a fantastic prim belt. I have to warn you that the belt doesn't seem to have a resizer hud but I think most avs will be ok because my shape has a *cough* bigger booty and hips than a lot of peeps out there and I have a little room to work with.

Finally, I'd like to show you this totally awesome necklace from Pepper. It's called the I Am Thursty necklace and you can change the soda flavor of the bottle. I'm a huggggggggggge Coca Cola fan so of course, I had to chose that flavor to feature. It's back to the hunt for me. Have a wicked Wednesday!

Oops! I also forgot to mention the wickedly naughty tats that are a prize from Para Designs. They come in all tattoo layers and can be worn in black or color. Totally hawt!
