Ugh, I’m feeling a bit out of it.  I was up in NYC for several days to both celebrate my anniversary and introduce my new daughter-in-law-to-be to my husband’s family.  Great time, great food, even the traveling was great.  And now this… pounding headache (day 2 of it now), painful ears… some little bug got me or (what’s more likely), I just caught a bad summer cold and combining it with flying sent it up a notch or two …  So, I’ve been a bit slower than normal on getting my SL act together since I need to keep going back to horizontal and closing my eyes for a while.  BUT I’M BACK, and mentally revitalized… if I can just throw off these physical “chains”, I’ll be flying high! Shopping therapy may need to be broken into smaller bits, but it’s definitely called for!!! Enjoy!

P.S.: On another note, I’m using a new photo editing program; please bear with me as I learn to use it!!!

• Outfit:   AXE – Outfit Drustyly.  I felt so edgy wearing this awesome little outfit (top, pants, & stiletto boots, all sold separately), but the bell bottoms pushed me over to somewhat of a ’60s vibe.  The details on this outfit — the raised embroidery on the pants with the stones on the leg, the hanging silver star & crosses on the top — are fabulous.  Sized for Reborn, Legacy, & LaraX, Drustyly is  available in your choice of 6 colors at the current round of Designer Showcase, open June 5th – 20th.  Demo available.

It feels a bit strange to be back in Second Life as human.  Strange statement, I know, but once you realize that I have a fae alt who also blogs, it might start making sense.  She’s been an official blogger Fantasy Faire for years; in fact, it actually was the catalyst for Thea to be “reborn” after a long hiatus.  FF is all-consuming, because she loves to create characters from all the fabulous fashion and other items available, and then explore the Fairelands to scout photo locations.  And this year, for the first time ever, she also did the Quest.  So coming in as human has been spotty, more related to seeing my partner than anything else, but with a bit of blogging thrown into the mix.  Still, nowhere near my normal time inworld.  And now, once again, it’s all reversed until next year’s Faire.  Thea will show for weekend shopping and for her blogging requirements (which she keeps relatively minimal); I will be the one living my second life… And that’s definitely something to think about!

Life is so busy right now, and I can’t really figure out why.  Tons of doctors appointments, while we still try to figure out exactly what is going on with my leg swelling up and doing a pretty good imitation of a tree trunk, and then the prep for going away for a long weekend to celebrate my husband’s milestone birthday.  Despite that and my itchy eyes (everything is blooming!), I’m loving the spring, both IRL and here on the grid… I just love what some people do with their sims (I just stumbled upon this lovely scene, following an old LM)! And the spring clothes… lovely, absolutely lovely!  Happy shopping, or whatever you do inworld!

• Outfit:  Ghee – Silvia Love, worn in Roses.  What a beautiful little dress, that can be so easily dressed up or down just by changing makeup & hair (I obviously went UP).   I just love a halter neck, & it’s paired with what I’ll call a “stripped fabric slit” on one leg (if anyone knows the ACTUAL name of that style on the leg, please let me know!)  Sized for Reborn, Legacy+Perky, Maitreya+Petite, Kupra, Peach, Erika, Kups, Prima+Petite, & Belleza Classic+Curvy, Silvia is currently AVAILABLE in your choice of 3 twin packs containing a floral print + a solid, or as a fatpack, at the April round of Designer Showcase, open April 5th – 20th.  See the poster below; demo available.
• Nails:  CAZIMI – Spring it On Nails.  A palette of 10 beautiful spring colors (see the poster below), available in your choice of appliers for CAZIMI base nails, eBody, Legacy, Maitreya, Prima, or Omega, or as a discounted fatpack.  Remember, nails are NOT included, these are just appliers, but if you have any of these bodies, that’s all you need to enjoy this touch of spring on your fingertips!  AVAILABLE at the April round of Designer Showcase, open April 5th – 20th.

Well it’s been an exciting time IRL… my son just got engaged to be married!  It’s been a long time coming, I’ve been one of those annoying mothers asking when it would happen since I knew he’d bought the ring several months ago.  We absolutely adore our daughter-in-law to be; in fact, we’re going away with the two of them for my husband’s upcoming milestone birthday in a few weeks (and no, I’m not telling WHICH milestone lol)…  All this excitement has proved to be a bit of an obstacle in terms of my blogging, but now I’m back in the groove!!!! Enjoy!

• Outfit:  SUN Fashion –Wilhelmina in Black.  Sometimes it’s just so much fun to be a bit more “edgy” than I normally dress (though admittedly “edgy” is attracting me more & more lol).  This outfit definitely makes the mark, especially since I dressed her up a bit for clubbing!  Each piece is sold separately — the pants, your choice of 3 tops, the truly awesome gloves, & the shoes — or as a Megapack.  Wilhelmina is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy, & Maitreya Lara+LaraX, & is currently AVAILABLE at the April round of Designer Showcase, open April 5th – 20th.  See the poster below; demo available.

In a strange mood indeed… my expected company was due to arrive tomorrow (WAS being the operative word), and all normal activities were suspended in order to provide entertainment, etc… and they just canceled because of the problems at the airports.  So now today is chock full of things that are normally spread out over days, but in order to accommodate, etc., well, you get the picture.  And though I completely understand, I’m annoyed… partly because this is the 3rd time in a row this particular visitor has canceled last minute.  It’s family, and someone we welcome, but still…  Oh well… shakes it off and starts getting ready to deal with an errand and appointment filled day, and then off to a concert tonight with one of my (if not my top) singers… trying so hard to focus on THAT… takes a deep breath and another cup of coffee… and I’m off!
