People get so caught up in Valentine’s Day, you’d think it was the only day for love. I’ve got news for some of you… it’s not! Love is all around us, every day; sometimes, we just have to open our eyes to see it. It may not be as obvious as a big bouquet of roses or a fancy box of chocolates or a sparkly piece of jewelry; it might be an unasked for cup of tea when you’re feeling a little achy or having one of your chores done for you. The simple things, that all too often go unnoticed (something I know that I’m definitely guilty of). That said, I’m still a sucker for getting all dressed up here in SL (it’s nowhere near as much fun in RL, much more uncomfortable lol) and having the big romantic evening, dancing to songs from the rat pack era. I just do always try to be mindful as to the differences between the reality and the appearance of love… and then thoroughly enjoy them both (especially where they overlap)! Now go do some shopping, and be happy!
- Gown: FlowerDreams by Nile Karas – Siren Gown. What a dream of a gown! Shapely cups for the breasts, then a tight sheath all the way down till it puddles near the floor. Available in 7 colors (I’m wearing Cyan), each of which has a HUD offering 5 texture options with/without the two-toned treatment. Just stunning! Sized for Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya. EXCLUSIVELY available at the February Swank Event, February 7th – 29th. A We Love to Blog designer.
- Jewelry: Stone’s Works – Hoops & Spheres Necklace & Earrings (sold separately). The perfect complement to a stunning gown is a piece of wearable art like this set. I’m wearing it in Onyx, which is available at the mainstore, but in sapphire (see closeup below) it’s ON SALE at Hope 2, the Home & Garden Expo to Benefit Relay for Life from February 13th to March 2nd, which this year includes “Wearable Arts”.
- Backdrop: irrISIStible – Romantic Valentine Backdrop 3 Sky Textures. As every blogger or photographer knows, a great backdrop can truly help make your photo. You can count on this one for a lot of great photos because with it’s built-in sky texture changer (just touch it), it offers so much versatility. Includes a small heart emitter from the fountain. Obviously, I could only use one for the shot, but I’ve shown what all three look like below, & I can pretty much guarantee that you’ll be seeing more of this backdrop in future shots.
