The Story of Us

A best friend is a special gift.  It is the strongest possible kind of friendship.

I am proud that Clementine Ishtari is my best friend.  She understands me.  She listens to me.  She’s always there for me.  She doesn’t sugarcoat anything or bullshit me.  She tells me how it is.  And I am grateful to have her through thick and thin.

The story of us is complicated.  We have hurt each other, but we have also forgiven.  We have laughed, and we have cried.  We have been through a lot, but we’re still in it together.

The last picture we took together was over two years ago, so we were really overdue for a new pic.  Btw, isn’t she cute???

Thank you for being my bestie, Clem.  ILY! <3

52 Weeks of Color: #10 Sienna

So, basically, this pic is me in RL today.  I’m home sick from work feeling like crap, and I have pretty much been useless all day just lounging around in my warm pajamas.  Being sick totally sucks, especially when there is so much to be done at work.  Oh well.  The work will still be there waiting for me when I’m better.  Anyway, I figured I might as well knock out the color challenge for this week since I had not gotten to it yet.  Please pardon my appearance… I’m sickly.

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?

Hair Fair Faves: Braids, Ponies & Piggies

There are tons of cute hairstyles at this year’s Hair Fair, so I thought I’d show you a few of favorites here.  I did quite a bit of hair fair coverage last year, and I thought classifying my posts by hairstyle type (like I did last year) would work out well.  So here are my favorite braids, ponies, and piggies from this year’s Hair Fair.  Enjoy!

PF2010: [doll.]

Pose Fair 2010 is nearing its end, but I want to squeeze in as many posts as I can before it closes.  I am pretty sure that the last day to check out Pose Fair is tomorrow, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to blog these awesome new poses from the Katie Collection at [doll.].

Now We’ll Never Know

This is a sort of strange look today.  I put this outfit together and took these pics while I was sick this week, so we can blame the peculiar nature of this look on that.   I’m not sure it makes much sense, but it doesn’t really matter.  Very few things in SL make any sense at all.  Just add this look to the list.

‘Round the World We’ll Go

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, like I’ve been tumbling around in the clothes dryer for a few hours.  Not the good, fresh, fluffy clean towel kind, but the kind when you toss your sneakers in, and they bonk bonk bonk around the dryer.  So maybe posting a couple of cute pics I took last night will make me feel better.  I saw this adorable scene on Thema Felix’s blog, and I didn’t notice that she listed the location on her blog.  But then I happened upon it when checking out Jordan Giant’s shop, nordari., on the Lusiadas sim, and I couldn’t resist taking a few quick pics.  Obviously Thema’s pics put mine to shame, but that’s to be expected, because she’s just plain awesomesauce.

Thrifty

As much as I enjoy dressing up in SL, nothing makes me happier than an easy-going casual look.  Especially when brand new jeans are involved.  I took another trip to the new Tableau build because I couldn’t get all of it to rez on my previous visit.  And it’s such an awesome build that I couldn’t resist snapping a few more pics in my uber-comfy look.

Is That REAL Fur?

Well of course it isn’t real fur!  But that’s one of the great things about SL fashion.  I could never advocate wearing a fur coat in RL, but this amazing new fur coat from AOHARU is perfectly safe because no animals were harmed in the process (I hope!).  And let me tell you, this coat is a beauty!

Sassy

I know you’ve probably already seen this skirt all over the feeds lately, but I loved it so much that I couldn’t resist building a look around it.  Zaara has always been one of my absolute favorite shops in SL, and her new releases still make me squeal.

Tiffany

I’m not really into system skirts.  It usually takes me forever to adjust my shape to make them work, and I’m just overall not a fan of them.  But Antonia Marat just released this new Tiffany skirt at /artilleri/, and I bought the fat pack on a whim.  Sometimes you just know when it will work and when it won’t.  And I’m so happy that this system skirt is the exception!

Mixing the Good with the Bad

I love taking really frilly, feminine items and pairing them with items which are a bit rougher around the edges for a nice mixture of good and bad.  I’d say this look sort of represents my personality in a way: lots of layers, both tame and edgy.

Purple Is My Color This Season

This look started with a very pretty skirt from (MNK*Shop), which was a group gift.  I was so taken with the skirt that I tried it on in the store (yes, I’m guilty of this, lol), and I loved it so much that I bought the fatpack.  So, the skirt featured in this look is actually from the fatpack, and is not the group gift skirt, and it just goes to show you that sometimes freebies DO turn into viable sales.

I Wish I Was a Sexy Librarian

I could never, not in a million years, pull off this look in RL.  Oh how I yearn to be a sexy librarian.  You can only imagine the thoughts running through my head right now.  Yeah…I won’t be sharing them.  Thank goodness I can rock this look in another way.  Ah, the joys of SL.

It’s called **DP**yumyum for a REASON…

It had been some time since I had been to **DP**yumyum, and I had been meaning to get by there and grab this dress.  Well, it didn’t take me long after trying it on to realize just how fantastic it really is.  The textures really are yummy, and the colors are right up my alley…
