#477 Keep your face always to the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you

Yay!  Zsa is an excited little blogger today, she has finally taken the leap and fallen in  love with her mesh head!  With mesh bodies, it took me a long time before I jumped, but when I did, I loved them so much it is inconceivable for me now to not wear one.  Same with mesh heads - I have had quite a few in my inventory gathering pixel dust for ages, but never liked the way they looked on me.  Then I tried this applier from Belleza and fell in love - I still feel like me, just a much improved me!  When I saw my system avvie after wearing this head for a day, I was quite horrified that I ever allowed myself to wander around the grid, let alone appear on this blog, looking like that!

My dress is new from Entice and I think it has a bit of a 1940's classy vibe.  You have 4 different huds to choose from, each one having 3 textures, it was a real struggle to choose, they are all lovely.  The Maitreya dress fits perfectly to my Maitreya Lara mesh body and you also get the dress in Slink, Belleza, classic and fitmesh.  They are just 99L for each hud for Super Sales Weekend which ends on the 8th

My shoes are brand new from KC Couture, and I thought they also have a vintage vibe.  They are currently available at the new round of Designer Showcase.  As always they come with a humoungous texture change hud so you can make them work with any outfit, and are also compatible with Belleza, Slink and Eve.

My necklace, earrings and bracelet are currently on offer at Indulge Temptation, but they will be changing soon, so if you want them you need to run.  There are 6 packs available, some for Sixty Linden Weekends and some for 55L Thursday.

My pictures are taken in my wonderful friend Pet's newly refurbished shabby chic store.  I recommend a visit for some really cute home items at extremely reasonable prices.  If you  haven't got a croquet set for your lawn, shame on you!  Go grab Pet's original mesh one now!

#443 Greetings from Persnickity

It's a long time since there was such a gap in my posts, but I have been ill irl - I am still not 100%, but trying to get some blogging done. I am not really in a very festive mood in either life, with this being my first Christmas without my mum (though she was in hospital last Christmas), and doubt I will decorate in either world.  For this reason I "borrowed" my friend Pet's Christmas shop as my backdrop.  Take a visit, she has lots of cute Christmas decor at extremely reasonable prices.

My fluffy jewelry set is by !IT! Indulge Temptation and comes with a hud allowing you to change both fluffy balls and metals.  This is available at the White Elephant Gacha Fair where you will find more goodies from IT in shop, but this set is their gift which you will find under the tree along with gifts from other designers.  The White Elephant Gacha Fair started on Dec 5th and continues till the 26th and there you will find lots of goodies  to buy and gachas to play, along with the exclusive gifts you will find under the tree.

My dress is new from DE Designs and can be bought separately or in a hud controlled fatpack. You get two dresses in each colour - a plain one and one with lacework as I have shown - I love the rib knit texturing.  It is compatible with all 3 Belleza bodies, Maitreya Lara, both Slink bodies as well as standard avatar 5 sizes.

#287 Choo Choo!

This fabulous outfit from Leri Miles Designs is available at the current round of My Attic at the Deck in a selection of great colour combinations.  I very rarely wear navy in any life, but I really loved this combination of navy with aqua accents.  

My skybox is a rare gacha prize from Potpourri Designs at The Frost Fair, which runs until 28th December. It is the "Winter Day Simple 5 Prim Skybox".  The gacha is 50L a pull, with lots of goodies which I am hoping I will be able to show more of in another post.  

My Christmas tree is from the Persnickity Christmas Shoppe - it dispenses presents, and the train goes round the track (not telling how long I watched it, kinda hypnotic :).  The owner of Persnickity, Pet, is one of the nicest people on the grid, and if you have not yet visited her lovely shop you really should, particularly if you love shabby chic like I do.

These heels look pretty lethal dont they?  They come with Rowena Spingflower's usual generous hud system, which gives 12 choices for shoe, sole and accent, and 4 for the hardwear.  I love the name of the nail appliers from *pulcino*, Summer Snow - the hud gives you a choice of 10 similarly pretty textures

#223 I Hate Mondays (even on a Saturday!)

As someone who has dreaded Monday mornings since my school days, this Monday Haters chair made me smile.  It is a beautifully made collab between Kuro and Breno and comes in  dark, light, stained and white, with a choice of three "coffee flavoured" textures for the seat  cushion.

The chair comes with five fun anims, the one above is called Noooo, and I so know how that feels when you want to hide so you don't have to start your Monday!

#215 I thought you were waiting for me.....

George, how could you??  I have had your pic on my mirror for so long, and now it is broken, just like my heart.  I would have been such a good Mrs Clooney, I even love pigs!

I absolutely love Luana Dawg of Kuro's work (both poses and furniture) and had great fun playing with this pose and prop set which is available at The Pose Fair 2014. It comes complete with the mesh mirror into which you can add your pic of choice.
