Long Hot Summer

I love markets, especially food related ones so this cute little Market Day prop from Adorkable Poses was just the ticket for a casual outfit for a casual Sunday.

4 Corners, which side are you on?

4 Corners is an event that is the brain child of the amazing Emily Kaestner of Croire.  The basic theme is the promotion of four current fashion trends being Delicate Damsel, Bikes and Spikes, Alluring Modesty and Delightfully Bright.  The sim is literally divided into four corners, one for each theme.  The designers participating are confinded to the theme of their relevant corner and oh my are there some awesome goodies to be had!  Most of what i'm wearing come from the Bikes & Spikes corner, which I pesonally had a lot of fun in!

The event started at midnight so is open NOW.  All that is left to decide is, whose side are you on?

Where the green grass grows

Ohai it's been a while.  I've been busy setting up and decorating my new SL home the last few weeks, i almost forgot I had a blog... opps.  Fortunately for me, the darling miss demi, was sweet enough to send me a copy of her latest additions to the Boom line being these very cute crochet vests and denim shorts.  Available in an abundance of colours it's sure to satisfy even the most discerning of shoppers.  One of the things I absolutely adore about demi's releases is that I find her sculpt sizing to be more accommodating than a lot of others, if somethings all but fits me straight outta the box, I'm a happy girl and will shout it from the roof tops. 

Also, in case you have been living under a rock and didn't know, the new and improved Cupcake Sim has reopened and the new design is absolutely breathtaking.  Many of the amazing shops on this sim (and trust me, the list is HUGE) have released some exclusives for the reopening including Dutch Touch which has released a special edition of the Mensje skin that was released earlier this year.  If you happen to be one of the poor souls that follows me on plurk, you will know Mensje has been one of my favourite skin releases from Dutch Touch and the opportunity to get her in the new skin tones that Iki has release is just too good to pass up!

In my heart of hearts, you know it's true

So I've been bugging the lovely Seraphix Rehula of Of Cats and Dogs since Pose Fair to come and do a blog post with me, this post is living proof that you can nag people into submission!  Ok not really, she is just a sweetheart and our timezones finally clicked so she agreed to come play dress ups with me.  Speaking of dress ups, have ya heard Mon Tissu are back with their next release?  Seriously these extremely talented ladies continue to impress me with every new release!

And on a personal note, a big thanks to Sera for hanging out with me and being as patient as she was while i continued to chop and changing everything from shoes to WL settings <3

Symphonies of blinding light

So as we all know Skin Fair in full swing and I do have to say, battling the lag for over an hour to finally get my hands Mary, the new Glam Affair skin, was totally worth it.  

Skin Fair runs through until March 6th, so de-prim, put on your patience hat and go, you won't be sorry you did.

I know I could love you much better than this

If all of the strength and all of the courage,

Come and lift me from this place,

I know I could love you much better than this,

Full of grace,

Full of grace,

My love...

I am in the middle of a torrid love hate affair with my Second Life viewer.  I LOVE that I can wear multiple layers and I think the introduction of the tattoo layer has been one of the best things ever!  I HATE that I still can't get shadows working properly in either of the Viewer 2 releases and the other authorized viewers kinda scare me.  But never being one to dwell on things I can not change lets focus on the positive....to all you wonderful creators out there creating tattoo layer makeup, I could just hug you!  I know this is not a new introduction but there seems to have been a flood of new makeup recently and I'm revelling in the ability to colour myself in all purdy like.  So if you haven't discovered the endless possibilities yet for yourself go and check out Cheap Makeup, Tik Tok, Garage and Kyoot just to name a few!

Lyrics from Full of Grace by Sarah McLachlan

Everyone's got their chains to break

I've got another confession to make, I'm your fool,

Everyone's got their chains to break, holding you,

Were you born to resist, or be abused?

Is someone getting the best of you?

I love finding new stores I haven't yet raided and stumblebum this week pointed me in the direction of TokiD...I have two words to describe it, SUPER CUTE!
