Recipe for Love

http://Recipe for Love

Let me say it right here, I’m not much of a cook these days. But I do love to bake.  I resist the urge more often than not because I eat up all that fresh-baked goodness and without sliders in RL I’m not happy with the results lol, but when I saw this pose set, I just couldn’t resist THAT urge. And then this outfit from Graffitiwear… well, let’s just just say it’s absolutely perfect for cooking up something hot and delish for your honey, or for creating the perfect man… in gingerbread form! 😉

Enough with Winter!

http://Enough with Winter!

OK, I love snow, I love winter, but seriously, enough is enough. I’ve had a cold now, or winter allergies, or whatever for WEEKS now (all I know is that I’m going through tissues at an alarming rate) and it’s time… I’m ready for spring!!!  Of course the calendar doesn’t agree with me, and there’s tons of winter weather ahead, but at least I have a few days in Florida to look forward to next month when I go down for my mom’s birthday. Right now I’ll cozy up to the fire, stamp my little foot, and scream ENOUGH to the universe as it continues to give me more snow and freezing winds… but I’m looking so good doing it here in SL (much better than in RL lol)… 😉

  • Outfit:  Graffitiwear – NEW! Forever Yours, includes the ENTIRE outfit — the top, skirt, cardigan & boots; choose from 3 different 10-texture HUDs (as always with this designer, a tough choice on what to wear, there are so many combinations!); sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody, TMP, Ocacin & Classic Fitmesh. I just love how the cardigan provides a bit of slouch, just starting to slip a bit at the shoulders & covering the hands the perfect amount. Comfy, incredibly stylish & the way it sets off my curves!!!! … & with so many color options, you can wear the same outfit the next day & make it look totally different!

Shopping with Santa

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!)  😉

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!

Balance

http://Balance

I LOVED this outfit the moment I saw it. It’s just all about balance, which is so important, in ALL aspects of life. Somehow to me, this look evokes a sense of the past while being very on target with present fashion. The white texture — which stays constant — is wonderfully detailed; the choice of blues can make getting dressed a bit difficult (this one, no this one, no no maybe this one)!  The way it crosses at both the chest and at the hips/legs is extremely flattering, sexy while totally maintaining a level of class.  Thankfully, it’s Second Life and I don’t have to worry about staying warm! 😉
