#433 No two persons ever read the same book....

...Edmund Wilson 

When I started putting this look together, I found Zsa had a kind of book nerd look going on, so I hunted for book props in my inventory, found this set from Picture This, and we did the shoot.   However, I then found myself unable to find a current slurl or mp store for Picture This, so I am wondering if they have closed down. I will continue trying to locate them and will update this post if I am successful.

Anyway, onto the clothes.  My necklace and earrings set are new by Indulge Temptation for Designer Circle - there are 6 different huds to choose from - I say buy 'em all while they are discounted!  Indulge Temptation are fast becoming a real favourite of mine for jewelry, and I will definitely wear these again and make sure the earrings are more visible because they are really pretty.

I am wearing a skirt and sweater from Baby Monkey, both of which come with the special Baby Monkey basics hud which includes 9 classic, wardrobe staple colours - I have included the ad for the outfit below, so you can see what you get in the pack and what great value it is, particularly as both pieces are compatible with Maitreya, Belleza and Slink as well as fitmesh and standard sizing.  I am wearing mine on my Maitreya Lara and they fit like a dream.  Oh, and skirt and sweater can be worn separately.

My shoes from KC Couture also come with a humoungous texture change hud with 40 choices (if Zsa tells you I had to get my calculator out to work this out, don't believe her!) for each of 4 shoe parts - so basically any colour combo you want, you will be able to create it.

#407 Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness

-

Why am I quoting Keats?  Well, Autumn is on its way, and the last few days I have felt a little quiet, reflective and somewhat withdrawn.  It has been over 6 months now since my mum passed away, and I can still hardly believe it.  She is never far from my mind but sometimes it hits me harder, and when it does I hide away (in my burrow, says the only rl friend who knows of this blog).

 Snowpaws has never been a store I frequent often, for no particular reason I can think of, but when I saw an advert for this outfit (top and skrit are bought together) on sale at Designer Showcase, it looked just right for my mood.  So off I went to pick it up and it really is a delight to wear, very soft and gentle and muted, wearing it feels a bit like being enclosed by a soft very pretty cloud.  The tulle is beautifully done, and I managed to fit it to my Maitreya Lara mesh body with not too much tweaking.  To match the whole soft mood I even wanted to mute my hair, so no red today, just a pretty light blonde.  

On a lighter note, one of my favourite people in sl tp'd me this afternoon after I was putting the finishing touch to this outfit and the first words out of her mouth when I had rezzed were "you are blonde!", which shows how rarely I do it.  The first words out of my mouth when she rezzed were "boobies!".  She always insists she is fully clothed, but rarely is - I shouldn't be surprised, Tomm''s affectionate nickname for her is "Flash" :).

My jewelry is from a "new to me" store, Meva, who I only discovered at My Attic last month, and I blogged their jewelry set here.  I wandered down to their mainstore and found a treasure trove of goodies - I picked up the group gift and a few other things and I am sure they will all appear on this blog in the near future. Both the necklace and bangle I am wearing come with huge texture change huds which is always a massive plus for me. 

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.

John Keats, from Ode to Autumn, 1820
