Practice


Blog post #453. slurl added when pubished


Real life has kept me away from my blog for the longest time since I started blogging, but here I am again, and with a whole heap of new stuff to share.

My dress and boots are both from Just Because for Uber - the dress comes with a scarf which I am not wearing here, but both are available in the gorgeous Just Because palette.  The boots are also available separately at Uber - I have never seen footwear from Annie Melson before and all I can say is that I hope she does more.  They are so easy to wear and come in her extensive palette with plenty of options to customise via hud.  

 I didn't wear the scarf because I wanted to show off this pretty necklace from Cae for FaMESHed.  Unfortunately you cant see the earrings but I have given a closer look at the necklace.

My freckles are by La Boheme, and my eyes, lips and manicure are all from different designers at the current round of Applique.  

My first pose comes from the Nantra set currently at The Liaison Collaborative, and are actually skating poses but I didn't trust Zsa on the ice, so made her practice on the soft snow first.  Wise move as she spent more time on her bum than she did standing.

Oh, quick mention, Lumipro have released their 2017 update and it is amazing - I didn't think they could improve on it but they have.  I can say honestly that I can't imagine blogging without my Lumipro hud now.

#499 Follow your bliss



Post #499

A squee very rarely passes ZZ's lips but honestly, when she saw this gacha dresser set from Blissiere, she jumped up and down clapping her hands and I definitely heard a squee.  Honestly, this is such a beautiful set with so many lovely details that it's is hard to know where to start to try to convey it's gorgeousness.  

This gacha is all commons except for the one rare, the animated vanity stool.   I couldn't fight the collage urge, so below I ofter some closer views of some of the adorable little knickknacks, though my pics really don't do this set justice, it needs to be seen inworld to be appreciated fully.

Post #499

Look at them all, so cute, beautifully made and textured - even the eyelash print makes me smile. and the bottles and pots, and the teddy music box, and and and and and........well, you get the picture.
Post #499

Above is my favourite of all things I think, the nail polish display, which take me back to my teen years where I would have jumped for joy at having such a nail polish collection, so beautifully displayed - and would probably never have used them as I would want them to remain pristine.  

Most of the home and garden items I blog, or use as props, get removed after I have published the blog post - not this set, this is staying in my bedroom forever.

I have included the gacha key below just for reference.  This gacha is at the curfent round of Roulette which finishes June 23.

Pensive in Pink

“For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.”

William Wordsworth  (1770-1850)

A Hotchpotch of this 'n' that

“Sewing Mends the Soul” -  Anonymous

I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew here, but decided to do one blog post showing lots of new goodies and some old goodies too, both clothes and decor.  I am still decorating my new home so this arrangement will no doubt move around some, and then some more.

This n That


As a lover of things vintage, this sewing machine dresser caught my eye - this and and the easy chair in the pic above are both from the new round of The Kollective, which is the Home & Garden edition.  The dresser comes in two wood colours, and has a texture change hud for the lace, mirror frame and base.

This n That


 Again, I loved the vintage style of these capris and their matching top so added some hair from Truth which also has the vintage vibe.

This n That

The top has a very unusual addition, the cute little wings shown below, fitting of course as ZsaZsa is an angel.  Aren't I RJ?  He is my sl brother btw, and I know he won't read this, but trust me, he would confirm how angelic I am :).

This n That

Old Style Glamour

“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.” ― Steve Maraboli

This gorgeous dress is the limited edition from Masoom for The 24 event, which starts on August 23rd.  All items at this event are limited to just 100, so you will need to be quick to snap this dress up.  I love the old style glamour, the side split, the brocade edging.  I have included a back view so you can see how the brocade is carried along the back of the gown.
