On Return

New skin, new shoes, new everything!
So since getting married I fell off the face of blogging, I'm going to try and be back!

I eventually caved and got myself some Slink medium feet. I already own Gos flats and Gos arched but so many shoes are Slink add-ons.
I really like the Slink feet because of the obvious - shoes - however Gos has quite an easy matching system whereas Slink you can mess with the RGB values or buy appliers.
I hate skin tinting so bought the Skinnery appliers which saved time but cost more money which is a bit meh!

I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then
- Alice, Alice in Wonderland

A philosophical start to the post. My best friend was married on July 12th and I wrote that quote inside their wedding card alongside a biblical quote on forgiveness.
You can't go back to yesterday but you can learn from the person you have become..

This post was sat for ages, logged in in blue and white and finding the perfect place took ages
I love the poses I eventually used, I got them at the free*style sim and they were deliciously cheap and worked perfectly

Almost Free

I've found some brilliant freebies and dollarbies that I just *have* to bloig before I expire by spontaneous combustion in the sweat fest that is my attic cum office!

These dresses are by !gO! At first I was put off by the fact the brand logo was on all the clothes but it's very realist to brand your clothing, something you don't see very often in SL!

I accessorised with some fab free jewelry from [DLL], all the accessories are free group gifts with no join fee!

I love the oranges and autumnal tones of these dresses which are also perfect for this sweltering summer!

Summer Beach

To feel the lapping
of the summer surf
the most wonderful thing
on God's green earth

These beautiful eyes are the group gift from Ikon, they're only available for the first 7 days of the month so you best hurry and get them.
I don't usually favour photo realistic eyes because I never thought they matched the cartoony look of SL skin, however this set is growing on me.
Thankfully they have a nice greenish hue which is my usual colour of choice.

I've been finding it difficult to find lipsticks or gloss that look good on my av, without making me look like I have a trout pout.
The lip stain I'm wearing is from (Ag), it doesn't cover my skin's lips and still looks quite a natural shade.

Disneybound - Kiss The Girl (Ariel)

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't gotta lot to say
But there's something about her....
~ Sebastian, The Little Mermaid

So week 2 of the Disneybound challenge is Ariel's outfit in the song "Kiss the Girl" and scrolling back I saw a lot of people recreating the actual outfit so I went via a different route and based my outfit on the colour scheme

Inventory Spring Cleaning

I'm spring cleaning my inventory so I'm blogging something old and new and things in between!

 This first dress is a lovely coldLogic new release along with an oldish new release from Magika, I adore this hair, I don't think I wear short often enough!

I'm quite glad that some of Magika's styles don't suit me otherwise I'd own the whole shop because the work put into the hair is seriously amazing!

Brightening up my garden

Zinnias has got some beautiful items out over Easter.

 This bright and bold day bed has multiple poses and cutesy accessories like this magazine, a cup of coffee and a diary! You can find it at the Spring Fling Hunt & Market

This crackling chimnea is also from Zinnia's for Easter and ok, so it doesn't match my day bed, but it's bright and cheerful!

Bring it Spring

"Spring" has sprung, but it's still cold, it's still snowy and I'm pretty sure it's still Winter! So i'm blogging some cozy outfits from coldLogic!

I love the beautiful pastels that coldLogic released, pastels are back in this season and coldLogic are rocking it.
Also, this awesome swing set is from zodiac by what next, only 11 prims, fantastically affordable and has loads of singles and couples poses in it. It goes perfectly in my springy garden, it comes in two colours.

In the Bleak Late Winter

A belated happy new year to any remaining followers!

We've been hit by an awesome snow storm and I don't care what people say, I LOVE snow!!!

Logging on I found these gorgeous shoes from Nzuri, they come in leather and glittery colours, I've only tried the leather so far but I can bet that they'll be included in future blog posts!

The leggings and dress are new from coldLogic, daring to bare in these chilly months, rather Saff than me!

Redecorating at the gatcha

Shades of Blue

*G Field*'s group gift got released today and it's the lovely pale blue romper suit, I adore anything with spots and this romper is perfect! The inside is textured too so it can be used in more poses and I love the softness of the bow that hangs so naturally down drom the chest.

I did say I'd pick up Wasabi Pills' other contribution for FLF!

It's back!

Fifty Linden Friday is back! It's probably it's first time gracing this blog but I am happy to see it back!!
It's a round up of the old faithful's with today's FLF, I'm not complaining as some new ones have been thrown in!


A bit of an alter ego look as Wasabi Pills provided a blonde and brunette hair, I will probably get the brunette later and attempt a tinting!
The boots are FAB they are so me and as they're mesh they flex with any pose instead of giving my feet a stiff look, they're from DECO, another of my favourite FLF regulars.

I bought Cheeky Pea's lemonade stand, cute poses though not great for skirts! The seat is meant to go behind the stall but I don't feel that showed off the poses well!

The glasses and makeup are from Adore and Abhor and they are AWESOME!!
I love how the sunglasses make you look sad and without the sunglasses the lips look just as awesome, the black eyeliner and eyebags are so cute too, the drawn look is so rare in SL!

The Dress and Shrug are by 22769 for Summer Fashion Festival and are stunning as usual, I love how you can really see the work that goes into them and the gradient of red to pale pink is brilliant!

A Morning of Folly - 52 WoCC Week 7

Sunday mornings were always a toughie she thought to herself as she lay in bed. Saturdays consisted of the interhouse quidditch match and usually much late night celebrations or grumblings depending on who won. For some unknown reason the breakfast still began at 6am when everyone had had a late night...
Ok, maybe not everyone, the ickle firsties were always in bed before 9.
So there she lay in bed contemplating getting up for breakfast... the 6th and 7th years wouldn't be up by now, their heads would be too heavy after all the butterbeers they'd snuck back from Hogmeade

ok, that decided it, she pulled her lethargic form out of bed and with a huge stretch she looked around blearily for something to wear..

She loosened her hair from it's bun and let the long waves tumble down over her red sweater and pulled on yesterdays overalls, tucking them inside the jumper. Shoes... shoes....

Incidentally Folly is one of the colours for my wedding, goes perfectly with bright green!

With a slight laugh she slipped on some ridiculously high pink shoes that she had brought with her for partys and such like before deciding that she would get docked a good few house points with these shoes on and made a mental note to send them back to mother with the next owl she received.

Hearing the clock chime 6 she pulled on some heavy boots, suitable for the cold weather and her cloak and ran full pelt down the staircase, nearly losing a foot in one of the steps that always disappeared every time she was on her way down stairs...

It took her a moment or two to realise that none of the hall or food was in focus and with a grumble accio'd her glasses to her... damn being sleepy!

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Week 6

It's sunday again! Hogsmeade has been and gone so she's just left with a lazy Sunday filled with hurried homework in front of the fire in the Common Rooms, the only issue being if you need a book one would have to go to the library which is FREEZING (and she means freezing!). Wrapping up warm was the best option, she shrugged on her warm cardigan and pulled up her thick socks, a nice floaty skirt in alice blue seemed to finish off the ensemble... oh yes geek chic she could do... probably a bit more geek than chic though some would say!

Her blouse was probably a bit thin but winding up the tye for her cardigan she shrugged and decided no one would notice that, so she headed off to the library to find books for her herbology homework... or was it Defence Against the Dark Arts?! She reminded herself that during the NEXT hogsmeade visit she would pick up a diary to note down her work in..!
