Reflecting on Choices

http://Reflecting on Choices

What was it I was just talking about in my last blog about things falling together so easily? Hah! Well, sometimes they don’t. Or let me correct myself… sometimes I just get in my own way.  In doing some of my normal running around once I had my look completed, I stumbled upon a location and put together what I thought was a wonderful shot.  And then I realized how many days I had left before I go away for a bit, where I THINK I’ll be able to blog but can’t really be sure about the connection.  Bottom line:  I had to rethink my shots and try to “double up”.  So that fashion shot went into the storage bin as a possible idea for future use (only one of those has ever actually worked out lol) as did another using the beaded lamp that was in the preliminary stages so that I could combine the two into this one.  I’m actually really happy with the result… would I have been happier the other way? We’ll just never know lol!! But that’s the whole thing with choices, big and small… you make the best ones that you can based on the information you have, you live with them, and you move on. I just recently turned down a new sponsorship for an event, because they would have assigned me items to blog. (As of now, I choose which items to blog for all my sponsors.) Was it the right choice? Was I being “too diva”? It felt right at the time; it still does. Will it tomorrow? You just never know… Every day is a new moment, new choice.  😉

The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring

http://The Flowers that Bloom in the Springhttp://Introducing ABBII’ve stubbornly got the Gilbert & Sullivan lyrics and thoughts of spring in my head as I watch the snow squalls of the polar vortex through my windows.  If I couldn’t escape to the freshness and (imagined) warmth of spring and summer here in Second Life, I could see myself succumbing to cabin fever and just losing it.  As my recent posts all attest, I definitely have spring on the brain.  And if the essence of spring is rebirth and newness, then in some ways, I’m living it as well… not just in my new home, but with new sponsors, and in the new looks and new designers I’m finding, and of course sharing with you! 😉

  • Head: Tonic – SNEAK PREVIEW!!  Abbi, the brand-new bento head from Tonic has a whole new look, from other heads on the market & from the earlier Tonic heads.  Yes, I’m still tweaking here & there, but I’m so happy to finally be able to wear her out & about!!! Abbi will be launched at the February eBento, which opens on Feb 8th.  More details to come as the date comes closer.
  • Dress:  D!vine Style – Ruby Cold Shoulder Tunic Sweater; wow, I just love this dress, which was available at the Jan Dazzle Event (now ended)! It’s a shape I’ve never worn before, & the criss-cross on the breasts together with the off-shoulder & teeny spaghetti straps, & then the gentle drape around your body… well, to say it’s incredibly flattering doesn’t do it justice. And the HUD! I’ve NEVER seen a HUD with so many incredible options to choose from — there are “themes” with neutrals, patterns, prints, text, geometry, fur, knit, sequin… & they ALL look great!  I was so torn, but then decided to go with MY theme… SPRING, & to start gathering my rosebuds with my best come hither look! Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, Ocacin, Voluptuous, & Classic.
  •  Jewelry:  Stone’s Works – Snake Charmers Choker in Silver Coral; this GORGEOUS choker is at the Medieval Fantasy Fair VIII from Jan 26 to Feb 16, but there’s nothing medieval about it!

The Race Is On

http://The Race Is On

Do you ever feel like you’re in a race, but you don’t know for what?  I used to call it “hamster in a cage”, running without ever getting anywhere, and not a medal in sight lol.  Somehow when I put on this jacket (GREAT little leather jacket, isn’t it?) it immediately made me think of racing, and then my mind was off, down all those memory lanes. The picture I REALLY wanted was with some sexy yellow sports car, maybe even a racing car, but frankly, I stumbled upon this and my post-holiday pocketbook said “that works!”…  So no medals once again, but I’m looking first-class, and in my book, that’s the only award I need! 😉

Garden of Beauty

http://Garden of Beauty

Just like in Real Life, some times an outfit looks and feels different on your body than it does “on the hanger”… this is definitely one of those times. When I first saw it, I thought it was pretty… when I actually put it on, I was blown away. I can’t seem to find the words to explain how it makes me feel, and I won’t even attempt to figure out why. Maybe it’s the fit, maybe it’s the style, maybe it’s the hair, maybe it’s the combination… who knows, and frankly, who cares.  All I know is that I’m getting lots of positive comments about my outfit and I just haven’t felt like changing… which is definitely NOT good for a blogger lol!  Definitely one that will be worn till it needs to go into the wash!!! 😉

A break between festivities

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!  😉

Dreaming of A Christmas with You

http://Dreaming of A Christmas with You

Well, it’s taken a while, but I’m beginning to understand why some bloggers don’t name their images and their posts, but just number their looks. Although I’ve never ever found it difficult to get started putting a look together, some days (or nights), it’s just hard to get started with something to say, let alone title an image or a blog.  And then suddenly it hits you… maybe a song comes on the stream, or a stray memory triggers something, and you know what you want to say.  It may not be perfect, but hey, it’s just a blog, right? The point is to show you these awesome items that I’ve found… and these really are awesome, aren’t they?  And while I was trying to show them to you, I ran into HUGE issues with the new WordPress editor and trying to embed my image from FlickR.   Not what I needed this morning!  Now to get back to my daydreaming… 😉

Now who’s been naughty and who’s been nice?

http://Naughty or Nice?

It’s already a whirlwind holiday season in Second Life, with even more events than usual and tons of wonderful must-have items both to buy and to blog, some supporting American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life (which I always indicate in the blog copy).  It’s exhausting, exciting, and sometimes tempting to take the easy route and go with “good enough”, but anyone who knows me, knows that I ALWAYS do things the hard way lol! Which doesn’t mean I’m not willing to take a moment now and then, and just stop, breathe and collect my thoughts. Now let’s think… who’s been naughty and who’s been nice? Need to keep those lists straight… 😉

The magic of a snowy night in the forest

http://An elven princess, a snowy night, a deer in the woods

http://Elven Princess Kirstie

So Thanksgiving is over, and hopefully everyone has at least silently acknowledged all we are thankful for in both our real and second lives. I, for one, have many many things to be thankful for, and have made special note of how important it is to remind myself of these things when the going gets rough and there’s a really really bad day or two or more, which will, of course, happen because that’s just part of life.  For right now, though, I’m lucky enough that it’s all good, although I’m finding myself immediately immersed in all the joys and stress and insanity of the holiday season.  One reason is I signed up to blog not one but TWO holiday events here in Second Life… this post features an item for the impending Peace on Earth (or POE as it’s commonly called) Hunt, SL’s longest running grid-wide hunt. Although I’ve participated as a hunter for years and years, this will be my first time as a blogger.  And all I can say is that based on the previews I’ve had of some of the prizes, it will definitely be a hunt to remember! The hunt opens on December 1st, at which time hints will be become available. You can check HERE at that time.

  • Jewelry: Stone’s Works – Winter Diadem, half-price for the Creative Spark in-store sale through Nov 30th… magically beautiful, whether for a formal look or a fantasy setting… this is the item that inspired this entire photo, it conjured up such images in my brain of elven princesses & magical beauty; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band

See below for a close-up of these GORGEOUS shoes!
  • Backdrop:  Sanna-Science and Art – Sanna Fir Forest 3 Textures Set POE HUNT GIFT & the Sanna Roebuck + Saint Huburtus Deer Alpha Set POE HUNT GIFT – if you do ANY photography at all, these are two gifts you absolutely should hunt down once the event starts on December 1st!
