Lost and Broken...

I miss doing this. I know I am seriously not that great at it, but it is fun for me...I enjoy the whole process, and normally I would be putting out posts at least once every two weeks.  Seems like my computer is either about to die or just hating me lately as it is not working properly.  Either I can't rez shit, or I am Crash Queen...whatever the issue, it has seriously been holding me back.  Now don't get me wrong, I swim through the lag and restart like crazy just to get my shoppin' done.  A girl can't get behind on the season...

Anyhoo, here's what my lame ass computer has allowed me to do this week...

Sweet Nothings...

I adore this tattoo from La Malvada Mujer depicting Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss", one of my top five favorite paintings.  It's unique, bold yet still really girly. I've had it a while and I've put it on several times wanting to take pictures but could never quite find an outfit that complimented it instead of mostly covering it.  This is what I finally came up with...

Hunker Down

 Firstly, I love this jacket and since I didn't feature it so well here I will prolly wear it again.  I fell in love with this amazing location, so many possibilities and I'm sure many other bloggers will feature it way better than this.  I actually want to go back and do something totally different.  it was super cool of the creator to share it.   Anyhoo, check out the gear and I hope ya'll are well.  Most people are experiencing this heavy weather and for those of us who are not used to it at all, we are hunkering down as best we can.  The lame part is, its not even that bad here, we just aren't used to it.

Missing yous...

So my computer has been spazzing lately and I can't seem to fix whatever bug it is thats creating SL/computer problems.  SL keeps crashing on me, won't restart blah blah.  I have a new look I have been trying to blog but all these technical issues are slowing me down.  I apologize for the delay but I hope to have it fixed soon.  In the meantime check out the Seasons  Hunt which was fantastic and has some really great prizes.  Until next time...

Meow is a lovely shopping sim I wandered around the other day while dropping coin here and there.  Tons of stores and a great layout made it easy to spend money all while enjoying the view.  Luckily when I go for broke, I can unpack all my gifts and freebies and it's kinda like shopping. This is a mixture of gifts, freebies and a few new things sprinkled in.

Linger

I finally got a chance to swing by the Lula sim which is so beautiful and very cozy. When it opened I was broke not to mention it's always packed so I know I'm a bit late but man was it worth the wait.  I didn't snag as much as I wanted but I did get a new skin from the Blessa line from Tres Blah which I love.  While I still love my other TB skin this one is much softer and natural.  I love the lips on it and the makeup is just right.  The pants, hair (a total steal), sweater and boots are all new (ish...new to me).  I've been doing a spot of shopping and exploring and I keep finding stuff I must have (adorable owl earrings!).  It's creating havoc on my inventory.

Wintery Goodness

Gah! There's so much going on sl wise and rl wise, I apologize for the lack of posts. I decided to make the best of it and try and use items I've bought lately...you know, keep it recent.  The Albero Holiday Dollar Fair (all items are $1 USD) is awesome, you should check it out.  There are tons of sales, hunts, and festivals going on I love it. I just wish I could keep up. I love all this wintery stuff coming out, we don't get snow here where I live but when my avi is dressed all warm, I feel warm...is that weird?

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.

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.

Items from the Hunt:

Hair: RAW HOUSE (: Brookelle Lone Wolf)
Scarf: [ATOMIC] (FTLO Fall - Neck Wrap)

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.

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.

Twin Hearts

Another quick post, my apologies.  I have been working on my photo entry for the Glitterati contest and it has been eating up alot of my sltime.  Between finding outfits that work with the theme to locations and editing pictures, it can take a while.  There are great prizes and I think it would just be cool to win, though I'm sure there will be tons of amazing submissions.  Check Glitterati in world for a notecard on all the details of entering.

That beings said, I would like to tell you about a little place called Yip.  You may or may not have heard of it, but when I found it, it was like finding buried treasure.  A little jewel nestled in some random sim where all the treasures are free.  four Yip, the creator (whom I've never met or talked to in world, I just love her shit) has the most creative imagination.  Creations range from poses, to props to clothes to complete set ups.  All free, all awesome.  Enough talking....

All items shown are part of Yip's Waldemar Twin Portrait.

You can get this and more at Yip

Think outside the box.

Simple sun girl

Just another quickie today as I have not been feeling well and just haven't had the time to SL.  I did however find this lovely sim full of good shopping and beautiful scenery.  The colors there and the sun beams are just lovely.  I will return to shop when I am full of Lindens and time.  As for the clothes, I have always loved this top from This is Fawn and Veschi was a fun find, I bought most of the store while there a while back.

The Girl Can't Help It...

Just a quick post to feature this fantastic skin from Miasnow that is currently on the mini mania board (goal is 5 people then it resets) that I heard about from *Free Style*.  I rushed over and got it and I'm so glad I did.  It's a gorgeous Dia de los Muertos skin and they also have a male version.  Get it while you can.  I love the detail on this skin and I bet it would look good on any shape.  I just wanted to feature the skin mostly since its so cool but of course all credits will follow.  This has officially helped get me into the Fall/Halloweeny spirit!
