/me kicks rl in the balls

Time has not been on my side lately and there are so many beautiful things that I want to blog. To be honest I’ve been having thoughts of calling it quits for a while..not because I don’t love it, but because of rl obligations.

I still want to try to post when I can though…like Confucius says, “It does not matter how slow you go so long as you don’t stop”.

The accessories are all from LaGyo‘s amazing new summer line. I was out of control in that store…a total shopping binge…thank you D&D for making that possible with my birthday monies..I love you both so very much❤

summeriness

I’ve been wearing Paper Doll’s Season’s Hunt dress for the past day or so and it’s so adorable..I had talked myself out of blogging it because I’ve seen it in the feeds so much..I probably shouldn’t worry about what else is being blogged and just blog what I like and what I’m wearing that day…I guess we all…well..most of us…strive to find that original style that sets us apart from the rest.

This is the first season since I’ve blogged that I didn’t participate in The Seasons Hunt..I usually do a big post with all of my loot…and as always there is some excellent loot. I did of course still have to go pick up a few of the prizes that I saw on The Rumor blog..if you’ve never checked that blog out you should..and bookmark it too! They always have pics of all the items in the good hunts, FLF items, Project Themeory, all sorts of great deals..all with pictures and links!

taking a good look at myself

These shoes, the Kookie Chic Heels, were one of my first “biggie” shoe purchases…I had to have them…even as I was putting them on for this shoot I was oohin’ and ahin’ all over like it was the first time I’d ever seen them. Kookie Lemon is retiring them, plus some other older styles forever..but not without first giving us the opportunity to get them for half off…click here to TP to Kookie!

How quickly our sl favorites become “vintage” items it seems…hell…how quickly we become “vintage”, lol….
So this lotd is some “vintage” sl mixed with some new sl, like The Secret Store’s hot new summer beach shorts.

Olivia!

I’m so excited about Laqroki‘s new Olivia! I mentioned to a friend in my previous post’s comments, “…i was worried at first because i was having puter issues when i was demo’ing it…i think i was seeing olivia mixed with ruth lol…not pretty!“

But when all the kinks were ironed out, and I saw her, it was pretty much love at first sight

 Olivia is 990L$ per skintone, and includes 5 lipstick choices. (above)

They’ve also released eye makeups on tattoo layers that you can buy separately for 120L$ a set. The pic above are the shadows in set 1…set 2 offers blue, green and purple liners..

I hadn’t been to Donna Flora in quite some time…that store awes me every time I go…so many beautiful things. I absolutely fell in love…(i know, i’m falling in love all the time :p) with the Daria set, (below). They also have a free jewelry set in the store..I hadn’t heard anything about it..I was so excited to find it! I’m going to try to get a pic of it up today but it would be probably be faster to just tp to Donna Flora and get it..I mean, c’mon..a free Donna Flora jewelry set..you know you’re going to want it lol.

*All poses by .synt I wanted to mention that this is the first time I’ve ever tried these poses and they are awesome! I know a lot of you are like me and always on the look out for some good new poses..so check this place out!!!

shiver me timbers

yo ho ho and a bottle of rum…or something like that..this look has got me feeling like a swashbuckler :p I saw this hair on the feed and couldn’t believe it was free..and all I could think about was seeing it with my MONS skin with the red brows..I have newer MONS skins that I’ve been wanting to blog..there’s an awesome one at TDRB this week and I finally got the one from the Skin Fair that I wanted so badly..on the very last day actually. But I kept coming back to this one.

I love my Animania raven..I’ve had her since almost the beginning of my sl..she was a gift, but I’ve bought animals there since then and that place is amazing. If you’ve never been you should go look around..and they have just about any animal you can think of. Lady can be rezzed or worn as an attachment. You can also set the level of intensity for her caws. I haven’t pulled her out in a very long time and I had forgotten how cool it was to “wear” animals in sl…sooo….you may be meeting some more of my cyber creatures in the very near future

(above) a better picture of the free Apple May bangles..they are at the Pure Juice event…some really awesome things there, if you haven’t gone you really should check it out! (you can read more about the event here)

romantic getaway

While rustling through my virtual closet trying to figure out what was I going to blog next I came upon the lovely new dress, Boheme,  from The Secret Store’s The Cellar, and the search stopped there. My friend Flower nailed it when she said “this is the most beautiful dress on the grid”.  With it’s flowing silky hem line and low cut cowl chest prim I think I have to agree.  And, perfect for a romantic getaway

lady and the tram

I have another new favorite hair! Lohan by Lelutka..very sexy I couldn’t wait to wear it. They’ve been adding a lot to their hair collection lately and I’m not complaining one bit.

I wanted to show you a close up shot of the tram necklace…I think it’s just beautiful….as is everything else in the store. This necklace comes in a long and short version (sold separately). I thought it went perfectly with the new Chiffon skirt from The Secret Store…”an outfit to fall in love in”*

There is so much I’ve wanted to blog lately but because of rl obligations I just haven’t had the time. If you’ve given me review copies and I haven’t posted yet, please be patient with me! You can even give me a nudge if you like and say, “hey b*&ch, why you no blog my s&*t???” jk..but do feel free to contact me about anything

The Seasons Hunt is going on right now and the prizes look awesome!!!! I plan on doing some hunting as soon as I publish this post! Click here for details and a list of the stores…Happy Hunting!
