Heartbeats

I had so much fun at this sim taking pictures and looking around.  I tp'd there after hearing about it from Sophie over at Le Carousel.  It's a little treasure trove of lovely spots and great scenery.  Still trying to use most of the items I have picked up over the holidays so as to keep it current, plus I just love finding shit in my inventory I didn't know was there.  I love how this look came together, and the location was so versatile I just couldn't help but take more pics than I needed.  I'm not usually this pic heavy...but well, yeah.  I had fun.

Tis the Shopping Season!!

There is so much good stuff going on right now, it's hard to keep up.  As always, I'm Mrs. Budget...so I did some hunting at the With Love Hunt (starting location). This is a fabulous hunt where all items are 10L, and it was worth it.  Since I added a few lindens for the hunt, I did a bit of side shopping while out and about as well.  Add to that catching up on The Dressing Room Blue new collection, Project Themory, Fifty Linden Friday and just snagging cute and sometimes free items while hunting and my inventory is in need of some serious organizing.  That being said...let's get started.

Blazer love

There are a few things I can never have enough of.  Blazers, and jackets in general, are one of these things.  Apparently I have the same problem in rl as I found out today when looking for one.  Five black velvet blazers in a variety of cuts all stuffed in the winter closet with a couple of trenches, several courderoy coats and even a jean jacket.  Top any of them off with a great scarf and well, that shit is just comfy.

FTLO!

Just a quickie made from some of the great prizes from FTLO Fall Hunt.  This hunt was fun but challenging with tons of great stores.  It's hard not to stop and shop while hunting, especially when I get stuck.  I'm just about done organizing all that I got but I was able to put this little ditty together.

Is it winter already?

I turned my heater on for the first time this weekend.  Luckily, it's not as cold as other places as I despise cold feet.  I do however, love winter items like this great little hat and cozy sweater. Also, I loved this skin when I put it on, very well done with and without teeth option.  I am also wearing eyelashes that I linked myself from two different stores.  It was super difficult but I am trying it out to see how I like em.

Skin: .::Mother Goose's::. (Chiaki) *free from the Tea Hunt (past) *I can't find store or LM, sorry D:
Hair: Posh (Wait in hazelnut) *part of this weekends Stumbledum
Hat: {theosophy} (Jedburgh Hat in Stone)
Sweater: .:*Wave.:* (sweater black knit) *Free gift or subscribo
Nails: -tb- (Nail Colour in Red) *edited*
Pose pic 1: =IZUMIYA= (Group Pose06) *Group Gift
Pose pic 2: ..::DARE::.. (FALL -  "Look") *Seasons  Hunt
Location: Winter Wonderland *This sim is great and my pictures don't do it justice. It has tons of snow and lots of little nooks to wander in.  Great lighting and I think I even saw a carriage ride with lovers in it pass by. Check it out*


**Also just a note about my pictures. I do edit small things, like fly away hairs or filling in some areas that are missing.  I do not however ever mess with the integrity of designer's skins or anything like that.  Of course lighting can change tone but I never edit any part of the skin.  I do want to point out that I fill in nails when needed.  They never photograph well and I use the color of the original nail to just fill it in so it's complete.  I guess I should look into those new realistic hands? Anyhoo, if there's ever a question as to what I've edited, feel free to ask! Thanks.**

All the rumors are true...

The Rumor sim is having a photo contest! You can read all about it and submit your entry here.
 The basic concept is to take a picture of yourself wearing designers featured in the sim.  This should not be hard as there are so many great stores that I totally went broke preparing for this contest, and well just because I have a problem....a huge shopping problem.  Moving on...

I fell in love with this little dress and this tattoo is just wows.  I got the hair just today and it worked out perfectly.  Its a simple look but that's just how I like it.

You still have today to snap a pic and enter...so get out to The Rumor and make it happen.

Hair:  Posh (Wait in hazelnut) *Part of Fifty Linden Friday*
Dress: The Sea Hole (Fall for me dress - mocha)
Tattoo: La Malvada Mujer (La Vergine)

Fear

This was one of my entries for the Glitterati Photo Contest that just ended.  I'm pretty sure I was chosen as one of the runners up but I can't be sure since I'm pretty much still in shock!  I had so much fun taking photos for this contest, it really made me want to improve after seeing such great work in all the entries.

You can still vote for mine, and tons of other great photos at the Glitterati Gallery (above the main store) until November 15th where an extra prize will be handed to the one with the most votes.

I loved walking the gallery and seeing everyone's take on the themes of LOVE, FEAR and DREAM.
