Hmmm, where should THIS carrot go?

http://Hmmm, where should THIS carrot go?

So yes, I love all these wintry pix, and all the snowy accessories here in Second Life. But I have to say, when it comes to Real Life, I’m so done with it.  It’s sooooooo cold and icy, and rather than feeling even the smallest spark of joy if it starts to snow, instead the attitude that rises is one of “Oh great, more snow.”  And winter hasn’t even officially begun!!  All I keep telling myself is one more winter to go, and then I AM DONE.  I won’t have to live through this and freeze and ache to my bones.  I’ll be able to visit and ooh and aaahhh, and then I’ll be able to go home to a nice warm sunny clime where I never have to worry about slipping on the ice or shoveling out the driveway or having to drag the dog out in subfreezing weather (she’s smart enough to not want to go out either).  And then I’ll enjoy wonderful outfits like this even more than I do now, where all I can see is the fun and beauty, and not the bitter cold that goes with them.  What can I say? I need more hot coffee, just to warm up after having been out in the frigid air.   Brrrrrr…… happppppy shoppppppinggggg!

  • Outfit:  Hawker’s House – Alpine Hooded Cardigan Aspen, which comes with the Skinny Jeans & Snow Boots.  Such a warm toasty outfit for a snow-filled winter’s day of fun!

Tell it to the mountain

http://Tell it To the Mountain

OK, so this is my second time writing this post.  My lovely computer lost the entire thing WHILE I WAS SAVING IT.  My frustration level has been rising day by day.  I’ve known my hard drive was failing, which is why I ordered a new computer back on Black Friday. The day it was to arrive I received an email saying it was delayed… possibly till Jan 10th.  After two days with no further word, I went shopping online.  Configured my own, got something even better for a bit less money, and then went into customer service h*ll trying to cancel computer #1.  Bottom line… it can’t be cancelled but it can be returned no charge.  So two computers are now on the way. In the meantime, this one has gotten so bad that I lost my entire post.  EVERYTHING.  Not just this bit, which is the easy part, but all the details and all the slurls.  Then on top of it, it took multiple tries and loads of time to get the shot below to upload.  Geez, it shouldn’t be this hard! Screams out my frustration at the mountain, trying to let the peace and calm of the scene wash over me… taking deep breaths… remembering to breathe… and oh yeah, happy shopping…

  • Outfit:  Jezzixa Cazalet for Prism Designs – Prism Inez Pant Set.  I just love the gleam of the satin & the way the sleeves are pushed up on this deceptively simple, loose cropped top, plus the little matching splashes of color on the tight pants with the zippers at the top of the thighs & then the open ankle zippers.  Available in 6 color options or as a fatpack, sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya.  See below for a full standing pic. EXCLUSIVELY available at the Designer Circle 25/19, open Dec 15th – 28th.  Demo available.

  • Head:  Akeruka (AK) – Cleo (deluxe bento, now with BOM)
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control… truly the most natural curves on the grid with the ability to add that extra oomph how & if you want it!
  • Skin:  theSkinnery – Flora (Freckled version)
  • Hair:  Moon – Bedshaped
  • Lashes/Makeup:  SlackGirl –  Thay Deluxe Lashes; HD10 Eyeshadow; Jessy HD Lips

http://At the Breaking Point

You know how much fun the holiday shopping is when it starts? But then at some point, it’s not fun any more, it’s become more of a chore.  Who’s left? What did I forget? What do you mean it’s out of stock? How can I have absolutely NO idea what to get for this person or that? Well, I’ve hit that point.  Thankfully, I bought my one of my most difficult gifts yesterday — my mom who is in memory care — so all gifts are bought, EXCEPT FOR ONE.  My sister’s birthday is New Year’s Eve, so I have a wee bit more time than for Christmas, but I’m pulling a total blank when it comes to ideas.  The harder I push myself to come up with something, the higher the wall.  Sighs, at least it’s just one lol.  Of course my son just called asking for help with ideas for the family, so here I go again lol! Hope you’re having an easier time of it!!!!  It will all be over soon… in the meantime, happy shopping!

I am constantly amazed by the talent of designers in Second Life.  The combination of creativity and attention to detail can just blow me away.  This set of gachas (is that even the right terminology??? or spelling??? I’m certainly no gacha expert lol!) is a perfect example… I love each and every item, just sooooo adorable.  Adding one, two, or even all to your holiday decor is that perfect element of fun! Personally, I think it’s perfect that it’s a gatcha, cuz I could never choose which one(s) to get!!!

Available EXCLUSIVELY at Twe12ve from Dec 12th -31st!  Try your luck, just 50L per play!  I wish I could have shown all 15, but here’s what’s in the pic (you can see all in the gatcha key below):

  • Workshop – Ultra Rare!
  • Santa’s Sleigh – Rare – animated!
  • Santa’s List – Rare

A moment by the fire

http://A moment by the fire

In these last few weeks before the holidays when stress starts to build over finding last minute gifts, dealing with parties, or — for me — delayed orders, dying computers, and a nagging sore throat/cough, one of the more calming visions is just relaxing by the fire, doing nothing at all but being.  Sighs… if only it was possible in real life as easily as it is here.  But at least I can have it here, whenever I need it (and boy, am I needing it!!!!)  Just need to recharge my batteries, as it were, to finish up that holiday/birthday shopping and end the year on a high note… happy shopping to all!

What we’re wearing:

  • Outfits:   {-sonder-} – Holiday Pajamas.  The most adorable Christmas onesies, made for men, women, & children.  I don’t have kids in SL (unless you count the kittycat version lol), so I was sooooo happy that there were adult sizes of these! I’m wearing “Santa Pets”, made in sizes for Slink, Belleza, & Maitreya; Crichton is wearing the “Santa Onesie”, made for Slink, Jake, & Signature Gianni.  (“Icy Deer” style also available.)   At the December Swank Event, Dec 7th – 31st.

Baby Wait, It’s Christmas, Please Don’t Go

http://Baby, Wait, It's Christmas, Please Don't Go

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season are the lights.  I just love walking the dog after dark, and seeing all the decorations lit up in the dark… even though they’re the same night after night, they still make smile, each and every time.  That’s why one of my favorite parts of this year’s SL Christmas Expo — which you hopefully know by now is the last mega-event of the year for Relay for Life and it’s fight against cancer (this event’s mission is specifically raising money to fight children’s cancer) — is the 2nd Annual Lights of Hope Decoration Contest, where they take those beautiful outdoor decorations that I enjoy so much here in the real world and do them up big time inworld.  I’ve included the poster below with some of the particulars, and to quote the formal description:

“Each of the builders has decorated the outside of one of their stunning houses in holiday style and brought it to the Expo.  Stroll the Holiday Road neighbourhood at the Expo and vote for your favourites by donation to the American Cancer Society kiosk in front of each home! 100% of all “votes” go directly to the American Cancer Society.  Be sure to pop over to the Real Estate Office in the neighbourhood where some of the builders have graciously placed out their entry home for sale in an American Cancer Society Christmas Expo vendor.  But wait there is more!  Linden Lab® Partners With The Expo to Help the American Cancer Society Fight Childhood Cancer!  Linden Lab® will be decorating Linden homes as part of the Lights Of Hope contest. That’s right,  teams of Lindens have been untangling lights, checking bulbs, inflating Santa’s and climbing to the rooftops to hang lights on their Linden homes.  Do we have a Clark Griswald amongst them?  Maybe a Martha Stewart?  It’s up to you to decide what team has the best-decorated home.”

I can tell you it’s absolutely beautiful to stroll through the Lights of Hope areas.  In fact, it’s where I took this pic.  So if you love holiday lights — and unless you’re a true grinch, who doesn’t? — go for a stroll and marvel at the creativity of all these wonderful designers!

What I’m wearing:

  • Gown: Allure Couture – Saraphine.   Simply stunning complete formal outfit consisting of a low-cut, gold-trimmed, very modernized classic gown with a transparent corset & lace overlay, over-the-elbow gloves, & matching heels.  Available in Black, Green, Purple & Red, or in a Fatpack with a HUD of 8 textures.  Sized for Slink HG, Belleza F/I/V, eBody, Altamura, & Maitreya.  100% EXCLUSIVE DONATION ITEM to the fight against children’s cancer through Relay for Life at the 2019 SL Christmas Expo, open through Dec 15th.  You can TP direct to the Allure booth at the Expo HERE.  A We Love to Blog Designer.

How can I have nothing to wear?

http://How can I have nothing to wear?

Even before I became a blogger, I had a pretty full clothing inventory because I love to shop.  In fact, that’s why I was tempted into blogging in the first place!  Now my virtual closets are overflowing, and definitely not nearly as well organized as they could or should be.  And yet I have to admit that there are plenty of times when I’m stumped, staring at my closet and feeling that I have absolutely nothing to wear  when going dancing or somewhere special.  I don’t even know how that’s possible, and it’s somewhat embarrassing to admit, and yet, it is often the case.  Tons of outfits, and nothing to wear.  Figures. Well, just one thing for a girl to do in that kind of situation… GO SHOPPING!!!!

  • Outfit:  WellMade – Maddox Outfit.  Love this lingerie outfit!  It’s just so different than the itty-bitty, overly sexual lingerie sets you generally see in here.  This set is just so much more what us fuller-bodied girls wear in RL, & yet the way it shows off my curves (especially from the back!) still makes it plenty seductive!  And the little mini-sweater just to keep you warm enough while trying to decide what else (if anything!) to wear… perfect! The HUD provides 10 color choices for bra, panties, & sweater.  Sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, eBody, Altamura, & Maitreya.  At the Designer Circle 24/19, open Dec 1st – 14th.  Demo available.
  • Head:  Akeruka (AK) – Cleo (deluxe bento, now with BOM)
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control… truly the most natural curves on the grid with the ability to add that extra oomph how & if you want it!
  • Skin:  theSkinnery – Flora (Freckled version)
  • Hair:  Sintiklia – Imani
  • Eyes:  IKON – Triumph
  • Lashes/Makeup:  SlackGirl –  Thay Deluxe Lashes; HD10 Eyeshadow
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Heart Mole & Freckles (Omega)
  • Nails:  Encore – Shades of Purple
  • Jewelry:  EarthStones – Sentiments Necklace, Loved; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Pose:  Secret Poses – Wear This, #8
  • Backdrop:  Crystal – My Christmas Closet

Christmastime in the City

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Christmastime in the City

As beautiful as snow is in the country and suburban areas, to my city-bred heart there really is nothing quite as glorious as the peace and beauty of softly falling snow in the city.  The contrast of the big flakes with the lights of the city — especially at Christmastime with all the sparkling decorations — and the hush that descends with the newly fallen snow is indescribable, but it is definitely something that once experienced, it stays with you forever.  Unfortunately, as any NYC resident knows, snow doesn’t stay that way very long in the city… it very quickly turns to black, grey, yellow, and other colors I won’t even mention, the ice and sludge mount at corners and crosswalks, and the peace disappears into the jarring noise of traffic sounds as the city reawakens and resumes its interrupted pace.  But for those first few hours, when the snow is still steadily falling, the wind is still, and all is peace and quiet, it’s a most beautiful sight…

  • Outfit:  (BYRNE) – StarGrunge Dress & Boots.  Simply glorious wool turtleneck sweater with star patterned leatherette minidress & over the knee boots.  Comes in black/white & white/black versions; sized for Slink H/P, Belleza F/I, & Maitreya.  EXCLUSIVELY available at the December Swank Event, Dec 7th – 31st. 
  • Head:  Akeruka (AK) – Cleo (deluxe bento, now with BOM)
  • Body:  Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
  • Skin:  theSkinnery – Flora (Freckled version)
  • Hair:  eXxEsS– Xmas Gift 2018
  • Eyes:  IKON – Triumph
  • Lashes/Makeup:  SlackGirl –  Thay Deluxe Lashes; HD9 Eyeshadow; Dina Matte Lips
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Heart Mole & Freckles (Omega)
  • Nails:  Cazimi – Dec ’17 GIFT
  • Jewelry:  Snowflakes Necklace (unknown creator); Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Pose: LW: Bento Poses – The Simple Things, available at The Winter Pose Fair
  • Location:  A NYC Christmas

 

The Perfect Touch

Posted on by cejalaval

http://The Perfect Touch

One of the many many things I love about Second Life is how easy it is to continually change things up.  The seasons change where I live here — winter to spring/summer, and then I add fall as well — and with each seasonal shift, I find that I’m changing much of the landscaping.  Not just from a green version to a white one, but entire re-envisioning of parts of the landscape.  The same now holds true of my holiday decorating.  For years, I had a Holiday Box (literally), with everything that I used to decorate the house.  I’d of course add a few new things each year, tossing away high prim objects that were available with better technology and replacing them with newer versions.  But this year I’ve noticed a marked difference.  To begin with, it’s my first year in my new home.  And although we had moved quite frequently before, it was generally within the same estate system or two, so the look and feel of the property was always generally the same, because that was what we liked.  Where we live now is completely different from anything I’ve done on the grid before, and therefore a lot of the old ideas just don’t work. I haven’t even lugged the box out of inventory, although a few stand-alone favorites have definitely found their way into new places.  But mostly I’ve been picking up gorgeous items at events and, of course as a blogger, I’m fortunate enough to receive many wonderful items to “play” with.  The result is that I’m creating a whole new space, and wow, is it ever fun!  To try to find the perfect space for everything, and the perfect something for every space!  I’ll be sharing lots of little glimpses here… some may not even last the season, who knows? In the meantime, though, happy shopping!

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Ashmoot – A/W CoLL Jumpsuit shown with A/W CoLL Mid Tip Toe.  Jumpsuit is available in 6 different earth shades. Sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya, in single item packs or FULL Outfit pack at promo price.   EXCLUSIVELY at the Designer Circle 24/19, open Dec 1st – 14th.  Shoes in separate pack.  Demos available.  A We Love to Blog designer.

Happy Winter at the Christmas Expo

http://Happy Winter at the Christmas Expo

So if you read my blog at all regularly, you know I’m a city girl, born and bred.  In RL, I’ve never lived on a farm, I’ve never even gone out to get a Christmas tree (that’s another story lol), and I’ve worn a cowboy hat.  But here on the grid, I can do all that, and what better time and place than at the SL Christmas Expo where it’s all about the magic and experience of the season? Not only that, it’s about the true spirit of the holidays as well, because talented designers from across the grid have taken their collective energies to create some incredibly beautiful sims (8 of them!) and donated items whose purchase goes directly to Relay for Life to support the fight againt childhood cancer.  And what is more in the Christmas spirit than that?  You can find out more about the SL Christmas Expo, now in its 9th year, and all the shopping and all the special events that are happening HERE now until Dec 15th (you’ll find a shopping directory with slurls direct to all stores there as well); your taxi to the main welcome area is waiting for you HERE.  Please join us, and happy shopping!

Unisex cowboy hat with a beautiful ribbon of stones AND a resizer built in, so it easily fits whatever size head you have or to adjust over many hairstyles.  Don’t want to be a black hat?

  • Outfit:  DarkBetty – Happy Winter.  Just the cutest little outfit, though honestly, with shorts I at least could only wear it in SL lol! Includes the sweater, jeans (which are an applier), an adjustable belt, & the cutest socks/shoes… happy winter indeed! One of several 100% donation items from this designer which you can find at Expo HERE.
  • Jewelry:  Stone’s Works –  Snowman Earrings.  A touch of whimsy is perfect at this time of year, not just for this outfit but for so many more besides throughout this entire wintry season.  These adorable vintage snowman earrings are available both at the SL Christmas Expo & at the main store for the amazing price of just 99L (other great sets available too).
