- sheek - a misspelling of chic, as in fashionable or stylish. If you spell chic this way, you most likely have no clue what chic means... Pretty much sums it up! I blog what I like, and I like what I blog. Feel free to let me know if you like what you see. And thanks for checking out my blog!

52 Weeks of Color: #6 Yellow
Yellow week is here, and I have to say… I’m not really a fan of yellow. Not in either life. But, for some reason, I had some yellow items hanging out in my inventory, so I threw them together and called it a day. And for fun, I threw in some decor, too. Enjoy!
52 Weeks of Color: #5 Sepia
I’m waaaay behind on getting my sepia post up (from my usual timeline, anyway), and I’ll admit that it wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped. What exactly IS sepia? The Wiki says it’s a dark brown-grey color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish Sepia. So I pretty much stuck with that definition of sepia and came up with a well-rounded mixture of rich browns. Sepia wasn’t easy at all, but I tried. So don’t give me crap about it being brown, k?
52 Weeks of Color: #4 Plum
We’re four weeks into the color challenge, and I’m having more and more fun each week. I thought plum might be a bit difficult, mainly because there are so many different shades of purple to sift through in my inventory, but I really don’t think it was that bad. I decided to delve into my inventory rather than searching the grid like crazy this week, so I stuck to my platform and searched my clothing folders for hours. Since I like to mix and match, my plum outfit isn’t really plum through and through, but it does give an overall plum effect. And I kinda like it that way.
52 Weeks of Color: #3 Goldenrod
I’ll be honest… I struggled with this week’s color challenge a bit. I started off with another outfit that ended up looking too much like mustard, so I scrapped it. I was trying to stay away from lemon yellows and mustard yellows, so I experimented a bit and ended up with something a little gold-ish. So yeah, I failed. Big time. Oh well. I’m still determined to keep up with this weekly challenge, whether I fail or not.
52 Weeks of Color: #2 Blue
I find myself really loving this color challenge, and I’ve been looking forward to posting a new look all week. Thanks for getting me back into blogging, Luna! I know this look probably seems a bit casual, but I really, really love a good casual look. Plus, it gave me a chance to blog my favorite jeans. You just can’t do blue without jeans, can you? Nuh uh. I mean… you could, but why would you want to? =P
52 Weeks of Color: #1 Grey
Luna Jubilee proposed a 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, and I think this might be a good goal for me. I have been a super lazy blogger because I spend so much time building and doing other things, so I am really going to try to stick to this. The first week is grey, and I had plenty of grey in my inventory to get me started.
In My Place: Minisode 1
I decorated this space for entry in the SL House & Garden Photo Contest, so I thought I’d post a little minisode with full details on my blog. The theme of the contest was “Go Crazy with Color,” and my entry is not a winner by any means, but it was fun nonetheless. (You can view all of the colorfully eye-popping contest entries here.) A big thank you to Jennaa Loire for all she does for the grid in the name of house and garden, especially for her work with the fantastic SL House & Garden group in-world. She is truly amazing, and if you love home decorating, join the group, and send her a little thank you for all her hard work. She really deserves it!
Cabaret
Bronson and I decided to challenge each other to think a bit outside of our normal blogging box. If you know anything about me, you know that I have a particular style, and I’m not too ballsy about venturing outside of it. Nothing wrong with that… I just know what I like. But it’s always fun to try something new, and Bronson challenged me to try to pull of a cabaret look a la Liza Minnelli. I posed my own challenge to him, which you can see on his blog over at (ir)regular guy. And, trust me, he kicked my ass in this challenge. But it was still fun, and I love the look I created. So we both win!
Autumn
With the arrival of October finally upon us, my RL community is seeing the beginning of Autumn weather. However, the grass is still green, and the leaves haven’t yet started falling from the trees, so the grassy scene in this photo is a typical Autumn scene for me right now. I came across a great blogger challenge, posed by Puma Jie, calling for favorite Autumn ensembles, and I couldn’t pass it up. Autumn is my favorite season by far, and I knew that pulling together my first official look of Autumn would be a blast. Thanks for the great challenge, Puma!
Tutorial: Inventory Management
Truth be told, it is very likely that one of the biggest obstacles to a healthy, happy SL is a bloated and unorganized inventory. Yep, that’s right…YOUR INVENTORY! You can always escape your ex, but you can NEVER escape your inventory! You know you’ve neglected it. You know you play the guessing game when you’re looking for something but have no idea where it is. Wait…why don’t you know where it is? I mean…shouldn’t YOU, of all people, know where something is in your inventory?
One of my plurk friends was looking for a little bit of help in the inventory department, and I found out that there’s an interest in this sort of thing. So, I offered to post a blog showing how I do it. I’m not sure if it will be helpful or not; I’m certainly no expert, and my methods could be viewed as weird. Whatever. I’m not claiming to be the authority on inventory management. I’m merely offering a basic guide, if you’re interested.
