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!

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Cerise

And of course my first post for the new year is a catch up one, i think cerise was the colour of the week, umm  2 weeks ago now.. oops my bad!  I blame lateness on Christmas, New Years and that fact that Dell still has not delivered the computer that I purchased close to a month ago.  But bitching ain't gonna get me caught up so moving right along.

I hope you all had a fabulous New Years and 2011 turns out to be everything you want it to be!  Also, i'm going to be changing a few bits and pieces around on this little patch of dirt I call my blog, starting with the inclusion of the designers names in the credits, I often search this way to find particular stores and find it useful so hopefully you guys will too.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Plum

I am weeks behind in this challenge thanks to my computer processor that is slowly dying.  The good news is a new computer is on the way, the bad news is that it is caught up in the Christmas rush and won't be here for a few weeks, so please excuse my limping photography attempts for the next couple of posts.  Anywho, onto to plum-y goodness:

Being a more earth tones kinda of girl I struggled with plum for a while and whilst this outfit may border slightly on the more lavender side of purple, I'm covering all basis by taking the inworld shot at the beautiful wintery location, Plum Island.

ps.  Tres Blah's new Blessa skin is love!

Project Donate

As you may be aware Project Donate started today, I can not stress enough what an important cause this event is donating to.  You can find out more about here .  In short, funds raised through this event will be donated to UNICEF to help the victims of the devastating floods in Pakistan.  If you aren't aware of what has happened there, I urge you to do some research and then please, give generously.

Many designers have come together to offer up goods for your donation, with many of them contributing 100% of their profits to the charity.  Here is just a sampling of a few things I picked up:

Don't for one second think you can't make a difference, united we have the power to help people who are in desperate need.  So please, go visit Project Donate and give with your heart, not your head.
