Where are they?

Whoops

Anyone who knows Zsa, will be aware that she has a bit of a house obsession in sl, and is forever changing homes.  So when I saw this set from Reina Photography I just had to use it.   Zsa actually thinks I have arranged for removal men to help her unpack but I forgot, and they just dropped her boxes outside her new front door.  Whoops, sorry Zsa🤭.

At least she looks good

Zsa's gorgeous blouse is brand new from Just Because at Uber, as is her earring and necklace set from Cae.  The blouse comes in a beautiful selection of colours, a separate print pack and a fatpack which includes both plains and prints.  The choice of prints is wonderful, making it very hard for this Libran to decide which to wear.  There is also a hud included to change the colour of the strings and toggle them on and off.

Zsa's pants are a brand new mainstore release from Blueberry, and come in the usual cutibootie and Blueberrybootie choices, and a huge variety of denim and leather options.  I particularly love the creasing on these, so realistic and easy to wear.

Zsa is wearing:

Hair:  Limerence ~ Bree
Eyes:  Avi-Glam ~ Solstice

Practice

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.

Today's very belated (due to rl stuff) post brings together items from Uber, N21, One Word, Inspiration SL and Cosmopolitan.  This includes new dress, new hair, new eyes, new eyeshadow and new shoes.

Yet again Annie Melson has pulled it out of the bag - this dress is sheer perfection right down to the smallest detail - the zip, the folds and creases, all make for an incredibly realistic, beautifully crafted piece of mesh.  It is available in Annie's gorgeous palette, and comes with intrinsic panties which you can switch on or off (I recommend on, particularly if you fly round sl most of the time like I do!).  You can find this dress exclusively at Uber.

My poses are from a new set by Nantra for OneWord, it includes 6 posts plus mirrors and I thought I would show you a few. 

My gorgeous eyes are from a new set released by Avi-Glam for Cosmopolitan.  I have loved Avi-Glam eyes since the moment I found them, and am always amazed at how Kendra Parfort can top the last release, but this new Serene range is even better than her previous releases!  I have added the advert pics so you can see their gorgeousness close to.

#419 My body is here but my heart is at the beach

Today I am bringing you brand new items from Mesh Body Addicts Fair, Collabor88, Uber, FaMESHed, The Aloha Fair & The Gacha Garden.  I am wearing the LAQ head, Trinity, along with a Glam Affair applier. 

My shorts from Mon Cheri for Mesh Body Addicts Fair come in a whole heap of pretty colours, each with a separate belt with a texture change hud.  You can buy them in a fat pack or singly but you get an extra colour if you buy the fatpack.  I love the frayed hemline, the textures are very realistic and the fit absolute perfection my Maitreya Lara

My necklace and earrings are a brand new set from Cae for FaMESHed and I love love love it!  I have one very like it in real life, but this is better because it comes with a wonderful texture change hud - I wish they would hurry up and make them in real life!  The necklace is actually 3 in one, as you can use the hud to hide any of the three for different looks or to work with different tops.  My bracelet is also by Cae for The Gacha Garden - the bracelet itself is free, and the charms are won on the gacha.

#518 Summertime is always the best of what might be

Today I bring you a new main store release from DE Designs, plus goodies from Uber, Shiny Shabby, N21 and The Aloha Fair.

My dress from DE Designs comes in a hud controlled fatpack or singly in a range of solid colours and patterns, all of which come with a hud giving you 13 options to texture the sash.  My shoes from Reign are available at N21 and come with two huds - one in the Reign palette, the other in the Blueberry palette, both of which are very extensive, making it so easy to mix and match. 

My Catwa applier is by DeeTaleZ at Uber - the applier is made for the Cami head, but you get an add-on in the demo pack with lots of options to help it work with the Jessica head, as I have done here.  I have used the Catwa blush and lip colours.  

My beach scene is from Image Essentials for The Aloha Fair.  It comes with a selection of poses, I am showing two - the bag in the first pic is a prop from the set.

#507 Another page in my legacy

Today I am sharing goodies from 5 current events: Collabor88, Uber, Cosmopolitan, Pulse (finishes 12th July) and Crossroads.  l am wearing my Maitreya Lara mesh body and Catwa Jessica head.

I have always loved boho inspired clothing so when I saw this set from Addams at Uber, I had to grab it.  The skirt, top and jacket are sold separately in a wide range of colours and textures.  I've teamed it with a previous release from Cae, with it's bold earrings and perfect length drop pendant.  You can still get my bracelet from Izzies at the Pulse fundraiser, but will have to be quick as it finishes tomorrow, the 12th.

#506 Green

Today I bring you new goodies from the Pulse fundraiser, Uber and FaMESHed.  I am very happy to share with you Annie Melson's latest creation, currently available at Uber - the gorgeous Mirage gown.  This mesh is simply stunning, fitting every curve of my Maitreya Lara like a glove.  It comes in an array of gorgeous colours, and very happily I can tell you it comes with intrinsic undies which you can colour coordinate with your dress - and you can also change the bead colour on the straps.  

My jewelry is another gorgeous offering from Caelan Hancroft of Cae - the necklace and earrings are from the Mila set, now available at FaMESHed.  The full set includes a choker which I have not worn here, and comes with a hud allowng multiple wear options, plus gem and metal choices. I am also wearing one of Cae's earlier creations, the mantra bracelet - I featured the Peace bracelet with a close up here, and am wearing the Love one in this post.  These bracelets are now one of my most loved jewelery pieces and at some point I am sure Strength and Life will appear on this blog.

My nails from Alaskametro are from Pulse and I have added a pop of colour to my outfit using one of the "mix it" options.  This pack has loads of options, is really good value, and best of all, 100% of the sale price is going straight to the Pulse fundraiser.

#470 Life is a shipwreck......

.....but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats - Voltaire

Annie Melson has outdone herself again with this lovely new top for The Liaison Collaborative.   As well as a plethora of great colours there are also different textures - ribbed,  floral and my favourite below, which has galaxy-like texturing.  The Libran in me made it impossible for me to choose which top to wear for this post, so I have showed you a selection.  I have teamed the top with Annie's designer jeans which are a previous release.  

Showing various tops off gave me the opportunity to show a few different poses from "Stumped", Nantra's new pose prop, also available at The Liaison Collaborative.  The stump is texture change and contains 12 quality poses.

I took these pics in the grounds of my new home (I hear the chorus of "not another one!"), and I am really excited to be starting a new chapter in my sl-life.  This last 18 months has been really tough but it has taught me many things.   Most importantly it has made me realise how blessed I am in my sl-life to have wonderful friends who have been there for me and made me laugh even when I thought I had no laughs left.  The last year has also taught me to trust my gut instinct, which is rarely wrong, and never to waste precious time on something that is not making me happy.  I have also learned that I have not had enough silliness in my sl-life for far too long, bring on the silly!
