Moon of My Life…

http://Moon of My Life

If you’re not a Game of Thrones fan, then you may not get the title of this post, but if you are, then you understand… completely!  I don’t know about you, but while I’m so excited that the next season of Game of Thrones will start soon — April 14th — I’m also kind of sad, because it’s the final season.  That’s the problem with a wonderful miniseries, or a wonderful book… at some point, they come to an end, and you are left to imagine what comes next.  The good news? I have a WONDERFUL imagination… hopefully you do too! 😉

Striving for a Rosy Outlook

http://Striving for a Rosy Outlook

Sometimes it’s hard to keep a rosy outlook when life starts having different ideas. I’m not talking about the big things, but all those little and middling things that add up to just make things, well, not so rosy.  The thing I’ve learned is just to hang on, keep swinging, cuddle a cat (or a dog or what have you), and things will start to look rosier… especially if you put on something new, and make yourself look GREAT!  How can the day not follow suit?  😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Moonstar – Rosy Glow Dress, Accessories & Boots.  This relatively simple little dress packs a whole lot of surprises that add up to one big wow.  First, it just fits amazingly well; something about the cut perhaps, but personally, I thought it looked more amazing than in the ad picture.  Second it has awesome straps… the little cross-chest one adds interest, & then the back is lo-cut with several criss-crossed straps for a whole ton of sex appeal. Includes a 6-color HUD for the dress alone (see the ad below); accessories are the rose circlet, choker, bracelet, & a brief red modesty butterfly.  Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, eBody, & Altamura.  Available for 50% OFF — just $90L! — at TheEvent for March, so only a few days! 
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – MissPlaced has taken her place in my private collection of “personal skins”, those that I love above & beyond the norm & will continue to pull out & wear long after they’re a featured product.  She has such a unique look, with bright red lipstick, eye liner, & beauty marks that is sometimes the perfect complement to an outfit (like this one).  I’m wearing her in Butter Browless, but there’s a full selection of dark & light tones available in fatpacks at the Whore Couture Fair 9 by Flair for Events until March 31st.
  • Head: Tonic – Coco is one of the two new bento heads from Tonic (I’ve been bouncing back & forth between them, depending on the look I want).  Coco has a somewhat exotic look with slightly slanted eyes, & is fully mod & Omega-ready so you can easily customize her to make her truly unique.  If you missed her debut at the Skin Fair, don’t despair! She’s now at the main store. Demo available so you can experiment away!
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Hair:  no.match – NO_NOTHING
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Jewelry:  Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band

The scene:

  • Cara’s Poses– Swing into Spring Pose Set is another awesome joint project between & Cara’s Poses & ELLAs Designs.  In addition to the leaf-entwined wood swing, it includes 6 different bento poses with mirrors (see the ad below). Available at the Boardwalk Event, March 15th – April 15th.
  • LOVE Homes and Garden – Fairy Ferns (Natural), includes 12 different options of ferns, some with Orb Emitter options (I’m using two simultaneously, one dark & one light) plus optional Little Lights in 4 different tints. Available at the Boardwalk Event, March 15th – April 15th.

Sun, sand, & sea… IRRESISTIBLE

http://Sun, sand & sea... IRRESISTIBLE

As someone born and bred in the big city who in RL currently lives in the ‘burbs, I’ve always wanted to live in the woodlands and/or on the ocean. I’ve had a home (or should I say “homes” since I move a lot lol) in the woodlands here in SL for years; but I’ve still longed for the ocean and the ability to go boating on open water. When my premium membership just renewed, I realized that I had a 512 allotment of free tier that I wasn’t taking advantage of (I have a Linden home for a family member that uses the other 512) and I decided to do something about it.  Bottom line, if you’re willing to put in the time and effort — and I’m talking HOURS of time, going through listings and teleporting around and checking out listings — it’s possible to find some really good deals out there for not a ton of lindens.  So as a special gift to myself for taking a job in real life, I spent the equivalent of what I felt was a very reasonable $8 to get a teeny spot in the ocean with only 175 prims but absolutely NO ADDED TIER.  Frankly, I could have done even better… the lot next to mine was 500L less but no objects (mine included all objects, which supposedly included a boat but it didn’t transfer ownership)… I returned or tossed everything, but having never done this before, I found them a useful guide for building an island with space for a boat. To me, that was worth $2!!!  I just found the entire thing totally irresistible!!! Sun, sand, & sea WITH NO ADDED TIER?  A no-brainer.  I spent part of the weekend setting up, and I’m all settled in to my little hideaway… though I’ll admit to lusting after that little piece of ocean next to mine and what that extra space and extra prims would mean to an addictive landscaper/decorator like myself.  Next on the list is Boat Shopping, so don’t be surprised when you start seeing blogs with lots of boat shots!!!!   Now to rest, relax, and enjoy my little stretch of sand!!!!  😉

  • Outfit:  Wang – Suelen Skirt Denim & Top. Just because you’re lounging around in totally casual clothes doesn’t mean you can’t look awesome, which is exactly how you look in this adorably sexy little outfit. The sleeveless crop denim top is only closed by one button; the tiny denim skirt is, well, tiny.  Includes a 10-color HUD for the top; a 9-color HUD for the skirt. Athe Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Viscana Seahorse Anklet.  How cute is this when lounging on the beach or just dreaming about it? Includes a special HUD with 20 textures for the strings, 5 metal tones for the seahorse; in sizes for Belleza, Slink, & Maitreya. See ad below for a closeup of the dangling seahorse. Demo available.

Working Girl

http://Working Girl

Now that I’m a working girl in Real Life once again, it really feels like I have two jobs. It’s a good thing that I love blogging so much, because a blogger’s job is never done!  I’d also have to admit that this office set is MUCH neater than my own home office ever looks (I’m SOOOOOOOO much messier lol, with papers everywhere!!!), but I absolutely love that Ceja now has her own working space for doing her blogging… it just seems appropriate! I’ve added a few personal touches to the office — as every girl does to every office everywhere — but what I’m thinking it really needs is one of my cats, sleeping on the desk!  Maybe next time lol… Now, back to work!!!  😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Sweatshirt:  Ashmoot – Long Hoody, unzipped just perfectly to where it’s a lo-cut top that can be worn with nothing underneath.  With thick ribbing at the bottom edge, the length is perfect too, just under the butt, which gives lots of choices for how to wear — barelegged or with stockings, leggings, pants, a skirt, whatever.  I love the way the inside fabric shows in the hood & around the neck, & the way the sleeves are pushed up. The hanging pull strings are in also in fabulous detail. I’ve never worn Ashmoot before, & I have to say, I’m impressed! Three color options available, sized for Slink P/H, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya, & Werwolf.  (As a note to the Tonic Curvy gals, I’m wearing the Hourglass size, & it fits PERFECTLY!)  EXCLUSIVE item at the promo price of 99L at the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  Demo available.  
  • Boots:  Ashmoot – Stivaletti, also available in three color options, 129L each. Sized for Slink, Belleza, & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  Demo available.  
  • Glasses:  Ashmoot – Round Sunglasses, gold & black with side lenses too, which look really cool. Most notably, they can be worn regularly on your face or on top of your head, which is an option that I really love!; 129L.  At the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  
  • Hair:  Firelight!! – Candie, includes a multi-shade texture HUD where you choose to apply a Rich/Full Effect or a Wispy Effect, plus a Tinting Color Wheel for lots of individual color options. Perfect for hair nuts like me!  At the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.  Demo available.

Come sail away

http://The Sea Dreamhttp://Come Sail Away

Do you ever fantasize about just getting on a boat or a raft and sailing away from it all? I know I’ve blogged about that before, and this raft certainly isn’t built for a lifetime escape, but for a short respite from your troubles, it’s PERFECT!  Named the “Sea Dream”, to my mind she conjures up images of drifting and bobbing softly on the waves, while lounging comfortably on the pillows and blanket.  There’s a tray of goodies nearby, complete with drinks, cupcakes and a book (I ALWAYS have a book nearby), and even a string of fish hanging above.  But the Sea Dream is also built for romance… it’s drinks and cupcakes for two, and lots of couples animations, so even though I’m currently adrift by my lonesome, I definitely made sure I look my nautical best!!!  Which definitely leaves only one question… who wants to come sail away with me?  😉

  • Bikini:  MOZ Designs – “Le Cage” Fantasy Tankini is the star in my bathing suit wardrobe.  With a totally unique design,  this is not your standard thong bikini — it has a truly unique style. Available in a whole range of stunning patterns, in original Fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, Tonic, eBody & EVE.
  • Tattoo: Juna Artistic Tattoo – Rui Tattoo, turns you into a work of art from the back! Includes three shade options (dark, medium & light) with appliers for Altamura, Belleza, Eve, Maitreya, Omega & Classic. On sale for 140L — that’s 25% OFF! —  at the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.
  • Raft:   Tm Creation – “Sea Dream” Raft with Decors, Single & Couple animations is perfect for floating your cares away, alone or with a special someone.  Includes  blanket, pillow & decors — including a separate tray of such absolute necessities as drinks, cupcakes & a book! — all in 100% Original Mesh.  Includes a ton of animations & sequences (bento too!), & is available in both PG & Adult versions. Fully copy/mod, you can use as is or unlink all the pieces & use as you wish.  EXCLUSIVE for Tres Chic Event at a 10% discount March 17th – April 10th.

Part Deux

http://Easy Rider, part Deuxhttp://Abbi, part Deux

Sometimes as good as you think Part One is, you need (or want) a remake.  Maybe it’s just a tweak here and there; or maybe it’s a complete do-over. Whichever end of the spectrum it is, or wherever it may fall inbetween, one of the many beauties of Second Life is that you always have the ability to easily remake yourself and your surroundings, or even your entire life.  As a blogger, I’m constantly changing my hair and my skin; I have two bodies and multiple heads (wow, sounds monstrous in a sentence lol). But generally speaking, once my shape is set for a head or a body, that’s it… a tiny tweak here or there, but an overhaul? Never… until now.  Admittedly my Abbi head was very new… I had just fallen in love with her and gotten her where I wanted her when I was swept off my feet by the next Tonic head… but now that I went back, I found that I wasn’t quite as happy as I had thought lol. So here she is, Abbi Part Deux… I’m re-smitten, ready to take on the world!  Maybe by motorcycle???  Who knows… anything is possible!  😉

  • Outfit:  S&B Fashion – Flirty Cowl Top w/ Jeans, includes the high heels too!  The jeans are skinny & cuffed, but what makes this outfit is the top… it just so different! The front is high & then the bottom kind of loops around to the back, up to a tie, leaving the sides & back open (I tried to show it in the picture since it’s so hard to describe)… so sexy without being too overt.  Sized for Tonic (top only), Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, TMP, & Classic. EXCLUSIVE available at the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.
  • Head: Tonic – Abbi is one of two new bento heads that Tonic has recently introduced. I just went back to Abbi & created a whole new shape for her, so I’m deep in the midst of an identity crisis lol! But I’m just loving this look… to me, she’s not what I consider a classic beauty.  If I had to put it into words, I’d say she’s more striking than beautiful, with a very unique & individual appearance, & I really REALLY like that in a world full of beautiful people.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Rory, worn in Cashew Browless, does I’m sure, have something to do with how much I’m loving Abbi right now.  I’m wearing Rory Browless TOTALLY CLEAN,  straight out of the box except for adding freckles (shown below) & my own brows, because I just feel naked without them lol.  Rory is the new EXCLUSIVE available at the Sense Event, March 15th – April 8th; fatpack, demos & shape are all available.  To see a range of browless skin tones AS IS (not even with my freckles!!!), see below.

Home, Sweet SL Home

http://Home, Sweet SL Home

I know that plenty of people live in Second Life without homes, but I can’t even imagine what that would be like. I bought my first home after only a few months inworld, and I recently had my 12th rez day.  But having a home can mean a lot of different things to different people, and they definitely come in all shapes, styles and sizes.  With about 1/6th of a standard sim (not a homestead sim), which is huge by some standards and a speck of dust by others, I constantly lust for more land and more prims… but there was a time years ago when I had double what I have now, and it still wasn’t enough lol.  But even if you have a tiny house, it doesn’t mean that you can’t make it look fabulous.  And to prove my point, I took a standard SL home — one of those you get as a Premium member — which, designed for a 512 sqm lot,  is definitely on the smaller side and, IMHO, not the best designed, and — by choosing a comfy, stylish perfect for everyday living room set that I felt had unisex appeal and then selecting what I considered more masculine textures from the 6 color/pattern schemes available — made it absolutely perfect for the single man (or woman) in Second Life!

Dench Designs – The Partney Range:  EVERYTHING in the set is a Boardwalk Exclusive, available from March 15th – April 15th. It includes the following items, sold separately —

  • Partney Sofa [Texture Change] – with Male, Female, Friends and Couple Animations. (Most are Bento)

Blogging Home & Decor as more than a prop in a fashion shoot is a whole different mindset from fashion blogging, and although it’s one I’ll admit to having some trouble adjusting to, I’m loving it!  It’s a totally different type of challenge, to not just create beautiful room or outdoor sets, but to do so where they’ll fit into the right sized frame and where each item will show properly in the lighting while still achieving interesting shadows. There’s so much versatility and so many choices to make!  All of which meant that it took lots of coffee but that I also had incredible fun building this section of a beautiful bedroom from items available at the Boardwalk EventMarch 15th – April 15th, starting with the fantastic pool house itself and its incredibly beautiful interior.  Unfortunately, now I have a new problem… I don’t want to leave!!!!  Maybe I’ll just sit and drink my coffee for a while till it’s time to go to work…  😉

Fat Bird– Peregrine Pool House:   An absolutely amazing item, the Peregrine Pool House is a tropical-themed little two-story pool house which comes complete with a tiny conservatory, exterior waterfall and balcony.  You can see the beautiful wallpaper & some of the interior detailing in the photo which I’ve taken on the 2nd floor.  An an option, a White version is also included which has tintable walls instead of the tropical wallpaper.  Both houses are copy/mod, mesh, materials enabled & mod friendly. They are 60 prims, with an approximate footprint of 20×15.  Also included with the two houses are the Tropical Bird Prints, a series of three connected wall art posters featuring tropical birds, which I’ve placed above the DayBed. They are mesh, materials enabled & mod friendly as well, with a land impact score of 3 prims. The ads below will provide additional views, & there’s a fullsize version of the Pool House up on the demo platform at the event, so you can walk through & see all the incredible detail for yourself. 

Magnum Opus – The Linen Cabinet:  For a simple concept, this is a surprisingly detailed piece. It includes two versions… one fully stocked, as I’ve used it (which has a land impact of 12 prims); one with an empty cabinet & all the individual items boxed separately so you can use & arrange as you see fit.  Personally, I’ve never seen anything of this kind that’s quite so perfect… it’s neat, yet with the open door, hanging towel & then  the other towel on the side of the hamper, it has just the right amount of mess to it.  This is one item that has definitely found a permanent place in my home.

Gracefully Wicked – Daydreamer DayBed:  Perfect for indoor or outdoor use, this DayBed can sit up to 3 avatars at the same time.  It looks great, because it has 5 texture sets which you can either apply as a pre-set or select the frame & each set of pillows separately to coordinate with your decor, which is what I did here. But this DayBed goes way beyond just good looks, because it also includes 380 different quality animations –singles, including the coffee drinking one I’m using, 2p & 3p cuddles, & 2p & 3p adult.  100% mesh, copy/mod, with a land impact of 10.

A Breath of Fresh Air

http://A Breath of Fresh Air

I love Second Life, which is a good thing, because I certainly spend enough time both inworld and in RL working on things related to it.  But sometimes it seems that certain things are just repeated, done over and over.  And yet, when something different comes along, it’s not always immediately welcome.  These pants are a perfect example… Because it seems like almost every pair of pants I own here in Second Life is lo-cut — sometimes to the extreme! — my initial reaction when I saw these high-waisted pants was admittedly one of hesitation.  But thankfully, I decided to try them on, and all I have to say is boy, was I ever wrong!  WOW!!! If I may so myself, these pants make my curves — especially my butt (which is already enhanced with Tonic’s booty control) — look absolutely AMAZING!!!  And although I’m sure they look equally good with a full-length top, I simply love the combination of the high waist with a short cropped sweater like this wonderful little off-shoulder find… What a refreshing difference!!!!  And yes, there’s been lots of exclamation points in this post lol… but I think it deserves every single one!  And to celebrate, even though it’s getting colder outside again after a 2-day reprieve, it’s definitely time to tiptoe through the SL tulips and welcome those initial signs of spring!!! 😉

  • Head: Tonic – Coco is the new bento head from Tonic that I’ve been blogging about for weeks.  I adore Coco because I finally have my slightly slanted eyes that I’ve wanted since day one, & being fully mod & Omega-ready I’ve been able to customize her to make her truly individual.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair through March 24th where Coco is on sale for a special introductory price of 50% off.  If you haven’t picked up your demo yet to see what kind of unique look you can create for yourself, you really are missing out.
  • Pants:  MOZ Designs – High Waist Flair Hem Pants, with a fit & style that is absolutely unbelievable. Whatever shape you’ve got, it looks incredible in these pants! Recently updated to include more mesh bodies, these pants are now Original Fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, Tonic, eBody & EVE, in this wonderful linen texture (this particular color has a subtle stripe in its weave, just gorgeous!). Available in a variety of single colors or a Superpack.
  • Top:  lovelysweet Boutique – Mia Sweater; this comfy-looking, subtly sexy off-shoulder crop sweater comes with a halter top that you can wear separately or in combination. Includes a 6-color HUD for the sweater, 5-colors for the halter. A WLTB Designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Cassidy, worn in Cashew Browless.  Based on LAQ, Cassidy is a brand-new stunner of an Omega skin.  She’s so stunning, all I’ve added are my freckles!

Whatever, I’m Fabulous Anyway

http://Whatever, I'm Fabulous Anyway

It’s been a bit of a tough week all in all, and it’s not even over yet. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I started a new job and although it sounds really whingy, I’m just not used to getting up early every day, getting dressed, packing a lunch, and going to work. Luckily it’s an extremely short commute (only 5 minutes!) and a very flexible schedule, but still, I’m just not used to having to be anywhere day after day.  On top of that, tax forms are due for my small business, which is stressful, some medical issues are rearing their ugly head, FlickR has been IMPOSSIBLE, and it just goes on and on. Here in Second Life, deadlines have crept up on me due to my new time constraints and my still learning how to cope with them.  Bottom line, I’m feeling kind of down on myself.  Even though my oufit is awesome and I absolutely adore my new head, when I look at myself I see beyond what the mirror sees.  I need to remind myself of the message on the wall:  Whatever, I’m fabulous anyway! 😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Graffitiwear– Love Affair, includes both a gorgeous 2-piece sequin dress & a separate fur cloak.  So luxuriously sexy, with just the right amount of sparkle!  8-color HUD for the dress; 10-textures for the fur.  Sized for Tonic, Slink P/H, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya, eBody, & Classic.  At the Designer Circle 8th Anniversary Round 05/19 March 3rd – 16th.  Demo available.  See the ad below for more details.
  • Head: TonicCoco is the new bento head from Tonic that I’ve previewed several times.  I adore Coco because she really does offer something completely different! She has a somewhat exotic look with slightly slanted eyes, & is fully mod & Omega-ready so you can customize her to make her truly unique.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair through March 24th where Coco is on sale for a special introductory price of 50% off.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – MissPlaced is truly a one-of-a-kind skin. Unlike most 7DS skins, she’s fully made up & ready to go out on the town with bright red lipstick, eye liner, & beauty marks.  Nothing innocent about this look!  I’m wearing her in Butter Browless, but there’s a full selection of dark & light tones available in fatpacks when she takes her turn at the Whore Couture Fair 9 by Flair for Events on March 15th through the 31st.
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Hex Mules Sequin.  Includes a special HUD with 10 sequin textures for the main body of the shoes, 10 solids for the base & heels, & 5 metal tones; in sizes for Tonic, Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, eBody, & Altamura. Demo available.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Hair: D!va – Aria (Group Gift 2018)
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Jewelry:  Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
