Feelin’ Groovy

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Feelin' Groovy

I know I’ve talked about it before, but it always fascinates me how sometimes the smallest thing can be the catalyst for something that feels so much more. In this case, it was the jewelry… Peace and love, symbols of another generation; once I had them on, they cried out for clothing from the same era… and shoes… and of course hair… and then the right setting… and suddenly, there I am, looking at someone very VERY reminiscent of my RL younger self…  yes, the hair is way redder, the body is definitely more curvaceous and taller, but that WAS my hair, and I HAD that hairband with a feather, AND a fringed vest AND huge bellbottoms AND John Lennon glasses (although mine were blue tints) and I rode a city bus, and and and…  well, needless to say, I’ve been singing Bellbottom Blues and the 59th Street Bridge Song ever since I put this outfit together… and I really don’t want to take it off… ever… but of course I will lol because blogging must go on… 😉

Shopping is the Best Therapy

http://Shopping is the Best Therapyhttp://Another Portrait Shot

It’s true that except for groceries and other everyday necessities, I rarely shop brick-and-mortar stores any more… instead, I’m a confirmed online shopper.  But back in the day, I clearly remember days of “shop till you drop”, just going store to store, looking and trying on seemingly thousands of things, sometimes buying a lot, other times not buying a thing. Sometimes I wonder what changed… was it the shopping experience itself? was it me? was it the combination of both? I guess I’ll never know, but I DO know that there are times when a bit of retail shopping therapy is still exactly what’s called for to get out of a slump, or to chase those blues away.  There’s nothing quite like that feeling of walking out of a store, package in hand, knowing that you found exactly what it took to put that light back in your eyes and the smile on your face!  Not quite the same as shopping on MarketPlace lol!!!! 😉

  • Outfit:   [Sexy Princess] – Summer Tale Outfit, includes top, skirt & handbag. You’ll definitely be able to write your own story in this! The off-shoulder top is fully unbuttoned, closed only by a knotted tie; the hip-hugging skirt is deeply cut in the back, tied with a big bow… sexy both coming & going!  Sized for Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 11/19 May 26th – June 8th. Demo available.
  • Shoes:  [Sheba] Creations – NEW! Yuna Heels. Includes a 40-texture HUD that lets you set one color for the upper shoe/heel, another for the heel, & still another for the flower. Absolutely lovely! In sizes for Slink, Belleza, eBody & Maitreya. Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Noora worn in Butter, Browless.  I love this skin so much, I decided to wear her for a 2nd blog! Dark & light toned fatpacks of 7 tones each available at the Dubai Event, May 20th – June 10th.  Shape & demos also available.

http://Do these say Spring to you?

Wow, it’s really hard to believe that Memorial Day is over and past, and summer is basically here. Definitely doesn’t feel like it, it’s a relatively chilly day. But it was back to work after the holiday weekend, and now that’s it’s just about June, it’s also back to my full blogging schedule… geez, what ever happened to the long slow days of summer lol?  I do seem to be a little off my game in terms of blogging… I’m a bit unsure of myself, having trouble picking my shots, my windlights, not quite trusting my judgment. Thankfully Rene is generally there, and ALWAYS willing to weigh in with an opinion on everything, from which pic to titling an image, and so much more. Unfortunately, she’s not around at the moment, so let me ask YOUR opinion… do these flowers say Spring to you?  😉

Only for the Tonic bodies, it includes sizes for Curvy, Fine, & Fine with the bust minimizer.  EXCLUSIVELY available at the upcoming June Curves event, opening June 3rd.

Up Up and Away

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Up up and away

Hot air balloons have always captured my imagination.  Maybe it’s from watching the Wizard of Oz as a little girl, or pictures I’ve seen of hot air balloon festivals, but they always make my heart soar. My family did a hot air balloon ride in Arizona several years ago… it was not quite as magical as I’d hoped — my head was hot from the heat for the balloon, and we hit a day without much wind — but it was still pretty thrilling and the history behind it was fascinating (especially its relationship to champagne!!!)… This gacha brought all that rushing back into my mind in a moment, and although there’s no champagne handy and this balloon doesn’t actually move, let’s toast to taking a ride in my beautiful balloon!  😉

  • Shoes:  MOZ Designs – NEW! “Chloe” Heeled Sandal is one of those special shoes that you build an outfit around rather than match to an outfit.  Created from RL haute couture design, this high heeled sandal with realistic wood & leather textures is available in brown (shown), black, or tan/crochet lace. Vendor is located in the  “Footwear” room. Moz members, be sure to wear your group tag for your group discount! 
  • Balloon:  M.Law Designs – Anne Soft Ballon Gacha offers a beautiful romantic opportunity to float above it all & enjoy a romantic moment that includes 9 couple animations.  60L per play for 7 commons, 1 rare; demo available (#5 shown).  EXCLUSIVELY available at the May Boardwalk Event, May 15th – June 15th

Waiting for that Kiss

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Waiting for that Kiss

I don’t know how patient a person you are, but patience is definitely NOT my long suit. I’ve worked on it for years, and I’ve definitely improved over time, but I’ll admit that I still like immediate gratification.  Sadly I’ve done a lot of waiting over the last few weeks… some of it really emotional and filled with worry and fear, some of it just long and boring, and some of it — like waiting for FlickR maintenance to be complete — just purely frustrating. But if it’s one thing I’ve learned is that you can’t avoid waiting, it’s just part of life.  Not only that, the payoff for waiting is often worth it… and in this last case, hopefully the ongoing and increasingly annoying problems with FlickR have been resolved. I guess we’ll all find out together.  I WILL say that my photostream is loading much quicker than before, but whether that’s temporary or permanent, well, time will tell. I just hope I didn’t jinx it by putting it in print lol!  😉

  • Outfit: Allure Couture – NEW! Nico Shorts Outfit, the perfect spring shorts set for just about any guy! Subtle vertical stripes down the center of a loose but shape-revealing tshirt worn over belted matching shorts in brushed cotton with matching sneakers is the very definition of relaxed comfort…  Worn here in olive, Nico also comes in blue, smoke, purple, red, & turquoise, all 100% Original Textures. Sized for Slink,  Signature Gianni, TMP, & Classic (S/M/L). Demo available.  A We Love to Blog designer.
  • Hut:  Kozy Korner – Romantic Stilt Fort, only 12 prim & sooo incredibly cute!  Includes 4 texture changes to the pillows & blanket. The plants & rocks are in the box separately (not the palms in the background or the jetski) but not attached to the fort so you can do placement to fit your own land.  Full of single & couple animations (148!) — choose from PG or Adult versions. EXCLUSIVELY available at the May Boardwalk Event, May 15th – June 15th.
  • Shower:  Naughty Bits – Bungalow Beach Shower (shown in pic) & Patio Spa Shower (shown below); another low-prim “must-have” is a working outdoor shower.  Both of these are loaded with high quality bento animations for single use or couples, automatic gender detection, & a texture change menu. Another EXCLUSIVE available at the May Boardwalk Event, May 15th – June 15th. 
  • Body:  Slink – Physique Male Bundle Mesh Body, including Physique Body, Dynamic Hands, & Feet

Wishing on a Star

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Wishing on a StarSo my wishes have come true, because things are definitely improving slowly but surely on the medical front.  I will say, however, I have newfound respect for caregivers because I have to say, being a caregiver is hard work!  Not only am I managing all the meds (and there are a LOT of them), I’m making sure he’s eating properly, doing his PT without overdoing, staying positive, etc., PLUS I’m doing all the things I normally do around the house, plus all the cooking, all the food shopping, all the cleaning, all the errands, all the dogwalking, all the EVERYTHING. I’m exhausted, physically and mentally, to the point where I’m the one who fell asleep on the couch this afternoon for a few hours.  And I plan on going back to work on Monday.  Oh boy… But on a positive note, I’m no longer scared to death or frantic with worry.  Now it’s just soldiering through, and doing what needs to be done.  And I’m pretty good at that. Though I am seeing that it will take me a bit longer to be able to resume my normal blogging schedule than I had thought, but I’ll get there… One day at a time, right?  😉

  • Lingerie:  MOZ Designs – Candace Bra & Panty.  Beautifully cut, with all those little design extras you expect from Mo. Available in satin or lace textures. Original fitmesh sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I, eBody, & Maitreya. Originally released exclusively for the April UNIK Event, this awesome little lingerie set is now available at the mainstore in a variety of colors & fatpacks.
  • Window Seat Set:  Salacity – Window Seat Backdrop (with Poses).  Although this is called a backdrop, it’s more like a mini-room with a window & window seat, & 3 different scenes outside the window. It’s available as a stand-alone backdrop (copy/mod), & also as a set including poses for both male & female avatars. The poses included in the backdrop are also available separately as pose sets: one set for female avatars, & one for male avatars (see below for ad of poses).  EXCLUSIVELY available at the Pose Fair until May 26th.  A We Love to Blog designer.  (Cat not included.)

Stoned Soul Picnic

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Stoned Soul Picnic... Where's the Beef

Things are definitely settling down; I was able to bring my hubbie home from the hospital on Wednesday.  It’s hard to believe what they can do medically today… 5 days after open heart surgery, and he’s home. Of course, that now makes ME the primary caregiver, which is a bit stressful when you’re dealing with a strong-willed stubborn personality at the best of times, let alone when they’re feeling cooped up, restricted, and in pain. But at least I’m done with the commute and sitting in a hospital; I’m back at home with my dog (who is THRILLED to have us home) and my cats and my computer, and to top it off, my son has come home to help out for a few days. I can even go in to work for a few hours without worrying (though I’m giving myself one more day)!! I have such a back-up of incredibly wonderful items to blog; my sponsors have been exceptionally understanding about my situation and released me temporarily from my obligations, but being me, I still want to try to meet as many as I can without shirking on my caregiver duties or over-stressing myself to the point where I can’t deal with my patient calmly and without blowing my stack (unless the situation really calls for it, which it might!)… After being cooped up for so long in a hospital — and driving back and forth in the rain, since that was it was doing here for days and days — I thought a relaxing spring picnic was definitely in order, since when you picnic, everything feels right in the world!  I’ve got the drinks… now where’s the beef!  😉

  • Outfit: Allure Couture – NEW! Josie Floral Outfit, a breath of spring that I’d have to classify as sexy-upscale casual.  The top is cut SENSATIONALLY, showing your bust off to its fullest advantage, with slightly puffy sleeves, & just the right amount of creasing.  I love the way the floral pattern is not on the bust itself, but only on the “wrap” part with its little bow & then on the pants.  Includes these awesome heels, which might be a bit much for a picnic, but what girl would be able to resist?  Sized for Tonic, Slink P/H, Belleza I/F, Maitreya, & Altamura, Josie also comes in blue, mint, coral, butter, & violet.  Demo available.  A We Love to Blog designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Crimson, worn in Maple browless.  Based on LAQ (but I’m wearing her on Tonic), she’s a bento-compatible, clear-eyed, fresh Omega summery beauty.  14 skin tones available individually for 175L each or 800L for a fatpack of dark or light tones, EXCLUSIVELY at this round of Designer Showcase until May 25th.  Shape & demos also available.
  • Picnic Set:  Salacity – Pick-a-Nick Table & Accessories.  Get ready for a picnic in the park, on the beach, or anywhere you feel like it with this fun set! The full set includes the table & all the accessories — the tablecloth, wicker basket, beer bottles (open & closed), soda cans (open & closed), condiment bottles, closed cooler (with 2 sit animations, see pic below), & open cooler (drink giver).  The table itself is loaded with animations — single & couple, PG or Adult.  The table & accessories are also available separately; all EXCLUSIVELY available at the May Boardwalk Event, May 15th – June 15th.

I told you ’bout the swans, that they live in the park

Posted on by cejalaval

http://I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park

Yes, I know the bird in this pic isn’t a swan, but for some reason this image made me think of the line by Cream “I told you ’bout the swans, that they live in the park”.  I never really understood the song, and obviously there’s no swan (though the egret is a beautiful stand-in), but the song is stuck in my head. Now it might be stuck in yours as well lol… At least it’s a great song! So while you’re listening to the soundtrack play over and over in your head (as I am in mine), take a look at what inspired the walk in the park… this insanely gorgeous shabby chique outfit (is it chic or chique? I never know what’s right) and just insanely gorgeous skin… and “notice how the wheel goes ’round…”  (thank you Eric Clapton)   😉

  • Dress:  Graffitiwear – Shabby Chique – Dress, Shawl & Heeled Sandals.  I know I say it a lot, but I really do LOVE this look.  It is totally shabby chique, which to me means that while it has that chic glamour, it’s toned down enough that you don’t need a special occasion to wear it, it can be worn for every day if you want. Yes, the dress itself is on the dressier side, deeply cut in front, slit on the ultra short sides, spaghetti straps; the optional open-work shawl adds the “shabby”, & is just a truly unique piece. And the shoes!!!! High chunky heels with closed backs to an ankle strap & open toes. Two versions of the outfit are available — Dark Shabby or Light Shabby (I’m wearing a tone from the Dark) — each with a HUD of 10 tones each for the dress, shawl, & shoes so you can mix & match if you want.  (See below for the colors.) Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, eBody, Maitreya, & Classic.  At the Designer Circle 09/19 April 28th – May 11th. Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Crimson worn in Cashew, Browless.  Honestly, I’m all out of superlatives, but wow, she’s another knockout. 14 skin tones are available, individually for just 175L each or in fatpacks of dark or light tones for 800L, EXCLUSIVE at the Designer Showcase May 5th – 28th. Shape & demos are also available.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Head:  Tonic – Coco (Bento)
  • Hair:  Stealthic – Jealousy
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Nails:  Go Frock Yourself – Bronze Nail Appliers
  • Jewelry:  IT! (Indulge Temptation!) – Samsara Necklace & Earrings; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Pose:  BellePoses – Soha 5 (Bento), May Pose Fair Gift

Lookin’ Good

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Lookin' Good

We all have our little routines for checking our outfits before heading out, whether it be in real life or here in Second Life.  One of the things I love about SL (one of so very many lol) is that there’s no need for all that neck craning and awkward twisting to see yourself from all sides.  And let’s face it… it’s really critical in a world where parts of your body can pop right through your clothes as you move, which is why part of my pre-check is to dance and see what gives lol… no popped seams for this girl!!  Another benefit is that you get to appreciate the rear view when a designer does something special to enhance the back, like the stitching on the pockets of this dress.  But the idea is to approximate real life, so if I stand just so, I can see it in the mirror and yes, I think I’m lookin’ good from all sides! The verdict? Good to go!!!! Now the question is, where am I going?  😉

  • Dress:  Continuum Fashion – Aloma.  Includes a HUD with 6 denim textures that changes both the solid & the lacing colors, with a semi-transparent or transparent texture option at the top of the lacing. I opted for the semi-transparent, which gives a lace inset effect, in the black-and-white but was sorely tempted by the red with black lacing & black lace trim (very ooh la la)! Includes some great stitchwork on the back pockets for that all-important interest from behind.  Sized for Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, & eBody.  At the Designer Circle 09/19 April 28th – May 11th. Demo available.
  • Shoes:  Continuum Fashion – Sole Platforms, with 5 color options including the black/white version I’m wearing.  They look great with this dress, & with so much more! Sized for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, & Altamura.  At the Designer Circle 09/19 April 28th – May 11th. 
  • Pose:  Cara’s Poses – Cara & Ella’s Bossy Boots Pose Set, #5.  Boots might be in its name, but you definitely don’t need boots for this dynamite pose set that includes 6 bento poses with mirrors that’s available at the upcoming Pose Fair May 4th – 25th.  A We Love to Blog Designer.
  • Body:  Slink – Physique Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
  • Head: LAQ – Athena (Bento)
  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1
  • Hair:  Lamb – Seventeen, available at Uber
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Alexandria worn in Cashew Browless

  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Nails:  Alme. – Dots & Squares, B&W
  • Jewelry: Maxi Gossamer – Tarentella Gypsy Dancer V2, Necklace, Bracelet & Earrings; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Misc. Decor shown:  !!Follow Us!! – Glam Mirror & Boxes; The Dreamer Creations – Heels & Panties (Marketplace Only); Half Deer – Lingerie Clutter; Mutresse – Teased Shortie Cats; JF – Japanese Tatami Rug (Prior Gift)

The Taste of Summer

Posted on by cejalaval

http://The Taste of Summer

So the weather has been seesawing here in the Northeast, from beautiful warm spring days to blustery cold ones reminiscent of winter and fall.  And although I’m admittedly an ice cream addict year-round, nothing speaks to me of summer quite as much as when the local dairy bars start taking down their shutters and getting ready for the season.  I happened to drive that way over the weekend, and although it will still be several weeks before they actually open, they were hard at work putting on a fresh coat of paint and doing some general sprucing up and spring cleaning.  It just sets my heart all aflutter lol, and totally made me think of this amazing backdrop/bloggerkit by Salacity.  When I saw this Slurpee prop and this hair at the Saturday Sale, I knew it was fate… mmmm, the taste of summer!!! 😉

  • Top:  MOZ Designs – Celia Tee. A perfect v-neck in a variety of colors & graphics to show off your curves in the most natural way possible.  I, of course, chose my favorite color — cayenne — paired with jeans. Original fitmesh sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I, eBody, Eve, & Maitreya.
  • Pants:  MOZ Designs – UPDATED!  Skinny Jeans V2 — your favorite skinny jeans remastered with new textures!  Cut low enough to show off your ink & those hipbones, without getting into that “oh-no” category. Original fitmesh sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I, eBody, Eve, & Maitreya.  MOZ Muses get 50L off!!!
  • Backdrop:  Salacity – Zesty’s Dairy Bar Bloggerkit may be just a simple building — sort of a “dummy” building, actually, as you can’t go inside and the windows don’t open — but it has ALL the detail of a typical dairy bar/snack shack (see below for a full building shot). Designed for sim-scapers or photographers, it’s an absolutely perfect backdrop for casual fun summer shots! Note: it does NOT include any animations… think of it more as a stage set for your photo creations!
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Head:  Tonic – Abbi (Bento)
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Rory worn in Cashew, Browless.
  • Hair:  Moon – Violet
