Will you be my Valentine?

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Or S.A.D (Singles Awareness Day). Like most people I do not have a special valentine, however I do got my best friend Spunky, she always is there for me, and i truly appreciate it :) and LES be honest here, we have a bromance like no other xD. I was feeling pretty classy this Valentine’s Day. I’d like to think of my outfit as a cross between old Hollywood and Kim Kardashian (Short, tight, and a pop of color), plus you can never go wrong with a red lip.

Gimmie Some Sunshine!

It's SO cold here - and the winter storm's comin' tonight.  Looks like we're only going to be getting a few inches of snow, but GAH I'm tired of winter already!  Having been transplanted to the East Coast from sunny, gorgeous SoCal, even after many years I'm still not used to this long period of frigid temps.  At least in the winter when I'm indoors more, I get the chance to clean my inventory, more specifically, my LMs.  In looking for a pretty picture spot, I realized just how many great sims are now gone.  So sad.  :(  And, hey, sorry to the noobs I popped in on just enjoying their little cuddle couch.  Sincerely.  :S  ANYWAY, the location I choose for this shoot exists in place of one that's been lost, but I think they've done a gorgeous job with it, and it's a beautiful photo location (they host weddings here at Serenades).

On to the meat of the post here!  My buddy at TAPS Skins has released another new skin!  I wanted to introduce it to you along with some goodies from FaMESHed and a storewide SALE.  Woohoo!

I don't even know what that blue blob is back there - let's just call it Flubber. :D


TAPS Skins introduces Danna (this one in Natural, Cat Eye)

I've been trying to get past these gridlines that Firestorm wants to put through some of my shots, but from what I've been reading, it's a bug that I can't do anything about, so I have to crop and edit around them.  *sigh*  I've heard that switching to the Exodus viewer would be best for photography but awwwwww, man - I don't want to have to learn a new viewer right now. *stomps feet in an immature display of frustration*

ANYWAY, here's what I'm wearing in these pics:

Skin: [ TAPS ] - [Danna] - [Natural] - [BCleavage] - [Cat Eye]
Hair: [LeLutka]-OOPS Hair - BlondeFun (w/ matching hairbase)
Eyebrows: [Atomic] Grace Brow - Flat  (Atomic is no longer open but check out [Atomic's Outlet Store])
Eyelashes: al vulo doll lashes
Eyeshadow: .Pekka. Rocking Eyeshadow - Moon
Eyeliner: .Pekka. Eyeliner #2
Lipgloss: Dead Apples Lipgloss
Nails: Izzie's French Nails
Necklace: Choker EZ Platinum -RYCA-
Shirt: *COCO*_Gilet&Tee_Sequin Silver (FaMESHed)
Shorts: ~Sassy!~ Cali Cutie - Mesh Shorts (JOJ Hunt Gift)
Rings: [MAGIC NOOK] Music Ring - Silver
          (Elate!) Square Stone Ring - Opal (50% Off - 5th Year Anniversary Sale)
Bracelets: Finesmith - Nola Bracelets - Silver
Boots: *COCO*_StretchLeatherBoots(Ivory) (FaMESHed)
also wearing but not in picture: (Elate!) Julie Earrings - Silver (50% Off - 5th Year Anniversary Sale)

FaMESHed runs thru the month of February for this round & the Elate! 50% off 5th Year Anniversary Sale runs thru February 17th.  A great assortment of clothing, accessories, decor, and even a few pre-fab structures are 50% off - so check it out!

That's all for today - I have to make a run to the store for weekend food since it'll no doubt be gone soon.  Even though we're going to be getting only a few inches of snow, people will be rushing to the store to strip it of all the bread and milk before I get there.  It's not the Apocalypse, people!  Sheesh!

Comfy & Casual

Today I was sick, so I thought why not do some photo editing (I had nothing better to do right)? I have noticed that my personal style comes through very much so when it comes to dressing my avatar. I am definitely a sweater and leggings type of girl, throw a sock-bun on top of that, and I'm out of the door! Comfy & Casual is my style of choice, what is yours?

P.S. Do you life the format of these pictures? Anything you would like me to add, or take away? Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Leather 'n Lace

This weekend in SL was one of overboard shopping and adventure!  I discovered a new addiction in SL which has me actually spending more time here again - BUT more on that later.  I spent more than a few dollars at cold logic's 50% off sale (goes on thru Feb 10th), dropped a bunch at faMESHed, and then had to grab a few group gifts, too! If you like great quality women's mesh clothing - definitely visit cold logic!

Since I'm currently head-over-heels in love with my Lola's boobs, I made sure to hit Bewbapalooza and OMG so much stuff!  High marks to DCNY for their Crochet Dress and One Hundred on their adorable sheer mesh tanks (I went back to get all the colors after I did this shoot!) that have two different versions for those with mesh boobs and those without!!!



Skin: -Belleza- Lily V2 Tan 0
Hair: [e] Melody - Blonde 07
Eyes: MB MO_Blue1
Make-up: Pekka Rocking Eyeshadows - Moon
                Pekka Eyeliner Combo - Liner #2
                Izzie's Lipgloss - Pink
Top: One Hundred. Lacy Tank - White (for regular boobs; the version for Tangos has an opening under breasts, as seen on the sign at Bewbapalooza)  NEW!
Skirt: e! Chloe Skirt - Snow (at faMESHed)  NEW!
Necklace: MG Necklace - Marrakech Heart - Short - Silver
Earrings: ChaChaDee! NOT ENOUGH Earrings

Bracelets: Sweet Leonard - My Triangle Bracelet (silver/onyx) - Torn Between Hunt
                *L'Atelier Sad's Jewels* Black Cordon by sad*
Rings: [MAGIC NOOK] Music Ring Silver
          MStyle Black Ring
          *JS - DS* Silver Forever Friendship Ring  (see, Shel, I do wear it once in a while! :P)
Boots:  Maitreya Radical Boots - Snow
Location: Kitties Lair


Now, for the adventure!  It wasn't all pretty poses in the sunlight and hot dog stands!  I discovered Krafties, which is a new MMORPG game in open beta that allows you to train, fight, and craft these adorable little pokemon-esque creatures.  And the best part is: it's free to get started!  If you want to progress faster, well that can take money, but you could conceivable play this new game for free!  If you're interested and would like a free pet or want to know more, IM me.  If you go to Krafties Island to sign up, you'll only receive a random element pet of two types, but if I (or someone you know who plays) hand-invite you, you can decline pets and be re-invited over and over again until you get the type of pet & element that you want and in exchange, I'll get a little energy to craft with.  This is NOT like Tiny Empires or Bloodlines where people are in your family or on your team.  It's individual.  But you do get energy when you sign people up, IF those people advance their pet to at least level 4.  Plus, it never hurts to have friends who play anyway.  :)

Have a great start to your week!
