http://A Break Between Festivities

Hard to believe the year is drawing to a close… I don’t know about you, but I’m already feeling a bit partied out, so taking a day to rest and relax (which to me often means reading, no matter where I might be) before tomorrow night’s festivities.  Of course, at this time of year, if I’m out and about I still want to look stylish, and in this AWESOME new jacket, I not only look great, I feel great too with the touch of sheepskin and suede… so warm and snuggly… Now all I need is a gingerbread latte with whipped cream… mmmmm, what a treat!  😉

http://Almost Showtime, 2019

And the holiday season continues its merry way, leading up to its final sometimes fevered pitch of New Years Eve. Although I find it tons of fun to get dressed up in SL and party, I’ll admit that at this point in my life, I’m not quite as excited about real-world parties which always seem to try too hard and end up with everyone covertly glancing at their watches and wondering when the ball will drop so they can go home. Or maybe that’s just showing my age lol!  In any case, celebrating inworld is a blast, and a hat like this is a fantastic way to top it all off!!! Let’s go 2019!!! 😉

  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – NEW! Stormy, another stunner based on omega GENUS & LAQ bento mesh heads, this skin has some built-in highlighting under the eyebrow & shadow under the eyes, which I’ve accented with more makeup for a dressy occasion like this (see below).  Available EXCLUSIVELY at The Naughty List until Dec 31st.

Shopping with Santa

Posted on by admin

http://Shopping with Santa

I remember when I was a kid and I never knew what I was getting as gifts for the holidays.  Sometimes my sister and I would peek into the unwrapped boxes if we’d find them, but we’d always get things wrong. Nowadays, it’s rare that I’m surprised because I’m always asked to provide the dreaded list, while the fact is, if it’s something that I REALLY want, I’ve already gone out and bought it. Frankly I’d rather just be told here’s X amount of money; go out and spend it; which, when you come to think of it, is what gift cards are all about. It’s like Santa taking you shopping lol!  (though he generally doesn’t wait sullenly in the car!)  😉

  • Top:  Graffitiwear – NEW! Jill Frost Cropped Hoodie, choose from 3 different 10-texture HUDs ( darks, lights, & prints; once again, a tough choice on what to wear!); sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody, TMP, Ocacin & Classic Fitmesh. I just love how the fringes allow a glimpse of breast, without showing too much. And it all hangs so naturally!
  • Skirt:  Graffitiwear – NEW! Jill Frost Skirt, two 10-texture HUDs (pastel or dark tones); sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody, TMP, & Classic Fitmesh; snug, sexy fit without being too high or too low cut… perfect for any kind of top you might want to pair with it!
  • Boots:  Graffitiwear – Laced Thigh High Boots, 28-texture HUD for the boot fabric + another 16 textures for the boot heel, sole & laces + 16 for the inset!; sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass & Physique. Great for strutting your stuff!
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Manuela, another Omega mesh beauty, with a very fresh, clean look. I’m wearing her in butter browless with my signature freckles added. 7-packs of light or dark tones available DISCOUNTED to just 425L at TheEvent for December. Demo & shape also available.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty w/ Booty Control added for that little extra oomph!  So curvy, & so natural… really flaunting my Tonic curves in an outfit like this!!!
  • Head: LAQ – Athena (Bento)
  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1
  • Eyes: Azdesign – Reel Green V2 mesh eyes
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (LAQ Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)

  • Nails: Encore – Shades of Green Nail Appliers
  • Pose:  Image Essentials Props and Poses – Holiday Shopping pose set, available at TWE12VE from Dec 12 – Dec 31

Under the Tree

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Under the Tree

I’ve been off tattoos for a little while now; not really sure why. But wow, this tattoo from Juna has me back in tattoo-world big-time. The gorgeous colors and the stunning image… well, let’s just say that I built this entire look around the tat… I even considered going full jungle setting to play off the lion, but felt that would have been going too far, and to be honest, I’ve never really enjoyed scouting locations dressed in my scanties lol… (you can’t see it in this pic, but the back of this outfit is quite, well, “scanty”)… Not too bad to find waiting under the tree though, is it?  😉

  • Outfit:  [WellMade] – Pietra Outfit (dress w/ separate panties) w/ 20-color HUD; sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/Physique, Maitreya, Ebody, & Jomo Fox/Werewolf; the texture on this wonderful little number is truly alluring, especially the bodice which almost but doesn’t quite sparkle (you know me & texture)! And although I opted for a monochrome look with just a little contrast for the strings, the HUD lets you apply different colors to the bodice, the skirt, the strings, & the panties, so you can truly customize your look.  At the Designer Circle Dec 9th – Dec 22nd.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Amorie, worn in Cashew, browless (my new favorite dark tone in winter, just absolutely perfect when I don’t want to be tan but need a bit of color!); I love the built-in shading in the eye crease that just makes Amorie stand out IMHO.  Choose from packs of 7 light or dark tones for 250L each; shape & demo are also available.  At the Designer Circle Dec 9th – Dec 22nd. 
  • Tattoo: Juna – Klo Tattoo,  includes three shades (dark, medium & light); you can really go wild with this one at 25% OFF at the Designer Circle Dec 9th – Dec 22nd, only 140L for this event; also available for Men
  • Pose:  lovelysweet – Sexy Side Pose Set, includes 6 poses for bento & non-bento hands. Includes a candy cane prop (not used). Group gift at the store (group is free to join)! 50L on Marketplace.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty with Booty Control added… my curves look absolutely AMAZING in this outfit
  • Head: LAQ – Athena (Bento)
  • Eyes: Azdesign – Reel Green V2 mesh eyes
  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1
  • Hair: Analog Dog – ici, Dark Reds
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (LAQ Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Jewelry:  .Viki. – Gift Heart Earrings, Marketplace Only; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Props:  Beyond Majestic – Endless Winter Is Calling: Forever Fireplace/Tree, includes mantle decorations & gifts under the tree (this was an exclusive at the SL Christmas Expo, not sure where it can be purchased now, if it can); MOoH! – Christmas Puppy in Santa’s Sack (from last Xmas)
  • Location: My home at GlenXi Estates

http://Is That Santa Coming?

I’m still not done with all my holiday shopping, and I’ll admit I haven’t even BEGUN to start wrapping up any gifts, but I’ll admit it… I’m ready for Santa. Maybe the Grinch has just got me in his grip for a day or two, maybe it’s the birthday blues, maybe I’m just tired of all the non-stop Christmas this and Christmas that and the TRAFFIC and the CROWDS, but right now, this moment, I’ve had enough.  (And yes, this happened with Halloween too; maybe it’s just because everything and everyone just goes so overboard and it’s just such constant bombardment day in and day out. I recovered at Halloween; hopefully I’ll recover now too!) So yes, I’m looking to see if Santa is coming, cuz I don’t know about you, but I’M READY!!!  (At least I’m not saying “Bah Humbug!” and I’m definitely dressing — and blogging — in the Xmas spirit!)  😉

Happy Holiday Shopper!

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Happy Holiday ShopperIt’s been a rough few days… first, I got a cold. I hate colds! You feel miserable, but you’re not really sick enough to do anything about it BUT feel miserable.  Second, although my pic is celebrating shopping success, my shopping is NOT all done; for the holidays, yes, but my family is loaded with birthdays right around the holidays as well, and I’m totally stuck on some of those. And one of those birthdays is mine, which always gets me kind of depressed, thinking of all I haven’t accomplished, how old I’m getting (and no, I’m not saying! Ceja is permanently in her mid-20s!), and the cold just makes it worse. But one thing is certain…  my SL shopping is almost done, and yes, it’s just my own opinion, but I think I’m looking FABULOUS!!!! Here’s to successful shopping!  😉

Double Trouble in High Heels

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Double Trouble in High Heels

http://Judith in Trouble

Oh my, this outfit by Tonic is named so perfectly! It’s caused me so much Trouble in so many ways lol! First, I spent a ridiculous amount of time deciding which color to wear, because I kept liking each one more than the next… and then because the adorable little shrug has its color set separately, I kept debating whether to have it match the darker color of the dress or look totally separate. Don’t even get me started on the HUD for the shoes where you set the color of the main body and the bow separately! Then it looks so amazing on, well, let’s just say it garnered some attention and several IMs asking me where I’d gotten it. All the info is below, but because it IS by Tonic, it’s exclusively sized for us Tonic gals, though even if you have another mesh body, I always recommend trying things on… you never know! It may be worth the trouble! 😉

  • Outfit, including Shoes:  Tonic – NEW! Trouble, with a 16-color HUD for both the knit shrug & the scoop neck mini; another matching HUD for the vintage peep toe pump.  The fabric details on this are fabulous as always with Tonic; & the buttons on the shrug, not to mention the way it hugs & hangs & shapes all at the same time! Only in Tonic sizes (curvy & fine); even includes a thong!  And this is Double Trouble, because it’s not only a brand-new EXCLUSIVE at TheEvent for December, it’s also 50% OFF!
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – NEW! Judith, another GORGEOUS skin based on Omega GENUS & LAQ, worn in butter browless; 14 tones EXCLUSIVELY available at The Secret Affair from Dec 5th – Jan 5th; buy them individually for 175L or in packs of 7 tones (Lights/Darks) for 800L each. Demo & shape also available.
  • Makeup:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Omega Eyeliner 03, another one of the gifts on the Advent calendar! NOTE: Here’s how the Advent Calendar works.

Previous gifts are shown with hover text “You’re a little late, but you can still get your gift for 99L.” New gifts open around midnight SLT each day, & are randomly put into the boxes; inside each box are male & female gifts.

OK, I’ll admit it, I’m a huge fan of Outlander. If you know the books or the show, then you’ll understand the reference; if not, well, just let it pass by.

Snowflakes

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Snowflakes

I love so many things about snowflakes, but one thing is certain — they can be soooo bright when the sun hits them! Certainly not an earth-shattering observation, but one that may have me looking for my sunglasses next time… maybe I can find a Christmas pair among all the holiday goodies in Second Life?

  • Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Adventure, worn in Butter, browless, another of the AMAZING skin gifts on the Advent calendar at the store.  NOTE: Here’s how the Advent Calendar works. Each day you’ll see the current day’s gift box on the tree with hover text saying “Come get your present!” Simply right click & pay 1L (you’ll get it right back). Previous gifts are shown with hover text “You’re a little late, but you can still get your gift for 99L.” New gifts open around midnight SLT each day, & are randomly put into the boxes; inside each box are male & female gifts. Remember: the advent poster is RANDOM!  
  • Makeup:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Lipgloss 01, another one of the gifts on the Advent calendar! Love this one, very simple, just adds the perfect touch of gloss with the very lightest tinge of pink.
  • Pants:  MOZ Designs –  Gabbi Zip Capri Leggings; I know “capri” makes it sounds counter-intuitive, but I LOVE these as part of a wintry outfit… Not only is the fit perfect, they’re just the right length for wearing with all those boots without having to worry about any edges popping through!

And from my VERY FAVORITE HUNT that I’ve participated in for YEARS, the Peace on Earth Hunt, full of awesome FREE items donated by over 100 designers across the grid; the following 5 items are ALL POE Hunt Gifts. I’ve included the hints; for hints and LMs for ALL the stores, click HERE:

  • Sweater:  #bye Best You Ever – Winter Sweater, in fitmesh sizes, Slink, & Maitreya. Love the off-the-shoulder slouchiness that still manages to be sexy. Store #88; Hint: In a little nook and cranny you’ll find me!
  • Hat: Hats by Couture Chapeau – Knit Hat Christmas. The hat’s not stretchable, so depending on the size of your head, you may need to find hair in your inventory that’s either relatively flat (definitely not in MY inventory) or unrigged &/or resize-able (I had lots of choices here).  But it’s so cute, it’s totally worth the effort! Store #46; Hint: The Cs have it
  • Jewelry:  Beloved Jewelry – Snowflake Jewelry Set (Earrings, Necklace, Ring); this very beautiful & delicate set includes texture change & resizer versions. Store #111; Hint: Twisted Ribbons Are Pretty.
  • Nails: DaneMarkZ – Five Shades of Winter Nail Polish (black, green, blue, red, & white). Store #34; Hint: It’s the most cozy time of the year♥
  • Bridge Scene:  PixelArt Pose Props – Peaceful Bridge Pose Scene, includes couple & single poses & falling snow… absolutely beautiful for ANY photographer; see below for full scene.  Store #72: Hint: Don’t make a scene, there will be gifts for everyone!

And then just other details about what I’m wearing:

  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty
  • Head: LAQ – Athena (Bento)
  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1

PixelArt Pose Props – Peaceful Bridge Pose Scene
