I Came Here with a Load

I have a few passions in SL, as you may know.  Probably the most noticeable one on this blog is my passion for shopping and fashion blogging.  I’ll also admit to having a passion for decorating in SL, although some might call that an addiction of sorts.  But I also really enjoy finding beautiful places to relax.  I visited the sim in these pictures while searching for new furniture, and I simply fell in love with the organic scenery and just had to return to take some photos.  You  know, it’s funny how easily your worries fade when you’re surrounded by peaceful imagery.

Plastic Flowers That Fight for Color

I realized something about my blog today.  It’s supposed to be a reflection of me, yet I’ve completely abandoned one of the most significant parts of my life: music.  When I want to be alone, when I want to escape from everything that yesterday threw at me, music is my safe haven.  So I’m going to try to share a little bit more of myself with you here by incorporating some of the music that keeps me going.  I don’t have many words to share today, but one of my favorite songs as well as full style details for this look follow the cut.  The lyrics say plenty.

The Anti-Crimson Tide

So I assembled this look with bits and pieces of things I absolutely love, and I really adored the finished product.  That is, until I realized that I look like something out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Now I know you’re not all from Alabama or from the U.S. for that matter, but most people know that I’m VERY anti-Crimson Tide.  A quick trip to Hibbett Sporting Goods for sneakers a few days ago REALLY reinforced that for me.  So yeah, this look  is covered in Paul “Bear” Bryant, but let’s just ignore that, okay?

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!

We Are Proudly Inappropriate

There’s nothing quite like a fun evening with friends to make everything better.  It had been ages since I just let loose and had some fun in SL, and I’ll admit… we had a blast!  Clem tasked me with keeping her out of trouble (which is not as easy as you might think!), so I recruited some help from Aldwyn, and the whole situation made for a great excuse to get together for a fun photoshoot featuring the awesome work of Gauge Laville, the mastermind behind + blacklisted +.  We cussed and sang and rocked out to 80′s tunes and laughed until we cried.  Yes, we were highly inappropriate, and proud of it!

Feeling Bashful

I basically have two schools of thought while getting dressed in SL.  Do I want to look cute?  Or do I want to look hot?  Most of the time I choose cute because I can’t really pull off a “hot” look.  But this look is cute to the extreme.  I love love love bashful pink hues, and this outfit is a mish-mash of adorable bashful goodness.

Review: -Belleza- Alyson

I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the new Alyson skin from -Belleza- to be released.  Tricky Boucher previously sent out a gorgeous gift to his group, which was a preview of Alyson, and I have been itching to get it since then.  I knew this would be the perfect skin for me.  I just knew it.  And it turns out that it’s also the perfect skin for redheads.  Hands-down. Bar none.  See for yourself — there’s plenty of yummy Alyson goodness after the cut…

The Cozy Life

I meant to get this look blogged before I left for Thanksgiving vacation, but my power went out as I was pulling together the style sheet, so I couldn’t crank the post out in time.  And since I haven’t been online since Thursday, it has taken me a few days to finally get this look blogged.  Anyway, I hope it was worth the wait.

Check-Swing

I grew up playing sports, so the term check-swing has an immediate sports connotation for me.  However, it’s also the name of this gorgeous coat I picked up at *COCO*.  I know I’ve been blogging *COCO* quite a bit lately, but the new releases at *COCO* are spot-on, and I love them.  And you know what?  I’m getting tired of hearing all of the rants about fashion bloggers consistently wearing items from the “big” stores.  Hey!  Guess what?  They’re “big” stores because they make amazing items like these.  And if I could make anything in SL that exhibited a mere fraction of the quality of items I’m seeing at *COCO*, AOHARU, etc., then I’d certainly want people to buy them and wear them.  And I hardly think it’s appropriate to discredit talented creators just because their shops are well-known and/or well-blogged.  /end rant
