I have been eyeballing this bedroom set from LAQ Decor for some time. And since it has been at least, oh, a week, since I ordered new furniture I decided WHAT the heck and clicked BUY on marketplace to have it delivered. I bought the PG version, because it was slightly cheaper – I believe it was around 999L and my husband is off in Azeroth so  I won’t need a sexy times bed.

The land impact is exquisite – 6! SIX LAND IMPACT PEOPLE – for the bed. Each side table is decorated in a femme way and they are three which is incredible.

It’s loaded with lots of animations in the PG version, sitting or sleeping and there is even an under the covers version. Plus sheets, cover, pillows and wood are all color change with a click. I’ve chosen pink today, who KNOWS what I’ll choose next. It was a much deserved splurge for an admittedly spoiled avatar.

I spent a very indulgent night in these covers, it was worth every penny.

Happy Saturday my lovelies! I have some wonderful nuggest of fashion, wisdom, fun and whimsy for you today. I hope your Saturday is beautiful and that you never once have to look upon an ugly soul. If you do, I hope you have a fancy coffee to make it all go away.

1. Honour McMillan has a very serious business proposition that will likely take her away from us to the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. I bet she’ll be buying silk underwear and putting weights in the hems of her skirts like royalty before we know it.

2. Lennon Park - Avatars in Motion, my other favorite location blog, brings us more great locations to go shoot our silly fashion at, or just go and enjoy some beauty.

3. Blood Red - Grazia again shows us why she’s A List with a flawless editorial shot that is designed to inspire your sense of style and compel you to shop. I’m so glad she’s back.

4. Things To Remember About People Who Make Things In Second Life: AE Meth gives us a brief editorial to remind us to get our panties out of a bunch, light a scented candle and have some tea.» View author and full post…

If you aren’t a 20 something and you hearken back to your youth, you’ll remember that back in the day in the Peanuts cartoons, Snoopy was often working on his book. His book always begins “It was a dark and stormy night…”. What you might not know is that there is an entire, long running fiction contest centered around this premise – beginning terrible fiction with the phrase IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

I actually once purchased a compendium of the Bulwer -Lytton contest entries and laughed for days reading it. It’s one of the seminal phrases in American faux literature, and when I rezzed Barnesworth Anubis new skybox for Collabor88 – my first thought was OMG IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

With it’s classic European moulding detail, and beautiful windows letting in light and looking out across the rooftops of Paris (Which is different that Under the Roofs of Paris by Henry Miller which is TOTALLY NOT THE SAME AT ALL OMG NO) I have to confess that now I have to move house again.

Barnesworth Anubis has seduced me with yet another skybox. He’s quite seductive, did you ever read his profile? It’s not for the shy, or conservative.» View author and full post…

I was taking some snaps as I had my breakfast this morning when I realized something amazing about my new skirt from BAIASTICE for The Boutique event that, THE INSIDE IS TEXTURED!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG! I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE clothing with invisible insides. It looks crazy in photographs in certain poses and I never know when I’m going to suddenly have a huge invisible patch that causes me to throw away a photo.

THANK YOU SISSY PESSOA for texturing the INSIDE of your mesh clothes.

There is rain the forecast, so I’m not sure how to spend my day. Riding dragons, shopping, jumping on mushrooms, my possibilities are endless.

In my pixel world, anything is possible. I mean, after I’ve had my coffee anything is possible. Always after my coffee.

Another wonderful new release I wanted to show you today are some more fun nail colors for those fancy SLINK mesh nails I love – these are from A:S:S.

I know. You need them.

The new FROSTBITE Cottage from Trompe Loeil has been released for Collabor88 and I couldn’t wait to rezz it and see how cozy and wintery it was. I chose the white but there are several color variations and you can opt for frosted windows or not just by touch.

I chose frosted, in RL I live in Atlanta and I miss the wintery cold of the north.

Inside the cottage it’s cozy aged woodwork (of this model) and high ceilings. It also comes with a fireplace. Add the deliciously cozy love seat and club chair, also from Trompe Loeil and you are ready to be cozy on winter evenings.

I’m also taking this opportunity to test out the BETA viewer since the word on the street is that it has solved the dreaded GRIDLINES issue with big pics. It seems to be true, I’m shooting at 4000X2067.

I find it does crazy stuff though, every time I open the camera it snaps a pic, my screen goes fuzzy, mouselook getst stuck on and I can’t get it off. Various other superweird stuff keeps happening but I can’t even remember what they all ARE honestly, thats how many weird things happened.

But – no gridlines?» View author and full post…

I realized I was almost grey from head to toe and couldn’t resist the fun with the 50 shades reference, but I didn’t actually ever read it so, I’ll probably have to leave it there.

Monochomatics with pops of color, though, are some of my favorite styling choices because it always conveys purpose, rather than “these are the things I slapped on today.”

I missed Fresh Baked Goods, these mah jong tile bracelets are still some of my favorite whimsical jewelry pieces I ever picked up.

Also today on the list of things which are good and therefore I think you should like them is a relatively new release from Adam n Eve – Carolyn.

The skin is beautiful with lovely makeup and as always, the lips and nose are beautifully done. There is definitely something to be said for experience. I do recommend you go grab a demo there are several tones and makeup options.

And with that, I’m done and will run off to the dreaded RL. I hope that everyone has a brilliant Thursday!

I made a run through a few stops on the WITH LOVE HUNT, and this nightshirt went right to the top of my hunting list, because I’m a sucker for PJs in SL. I must always have PJs. PJs plus slippers? WINNER!

But, when I stretched out on my new cabinet bed from Trompe Loeil – sigh, I felt wide awake.

Too much on my  mind, and considering poses for an upcoming event, my brain became muddled and too active to even pretend I was going to sleep.

I wasn’t sure what to do but decided there was nothing for it but to stop pretending I was going to get any sleep – at least right now.

A good book and a cup of cocoa while the snow started to fall and the light began to invade the sky made me slightly sleepy. I finally stretched out on the new love seat from Cheeky Pea (also for the With Love Hunt and OMG for 10L).

At some point the sun came up. But by that time, I was sound asleep.

‘

I confess. I’m ready. The events are exploding and there is so much excitement in the air about everything that is new and amazing for the holidays this year.

I love everything about the holidays on the grid, and even on my borrowed square I’m doing a little bit of sprucing up for the happy time.

From the gorgeous elegant jewelry of Donna Flora to the insanely cute vinyl toys from Schadenfreude, there isn’t much I don’t like about this time of year.

There is an amazing advent calendar out from Trompe Loeil at the Arcade Gacha event. It has twelve doors and twelve keys, and you play the gacha for the keys. Each key opens a door, and you get the gift inside. My first gift is a beautiful pair of earrings!

I also thought my little pretend baby needed something new so I stumbled upon Sweet Penelope’s and got this casual holiday outfit for 75L ! SO CUTE!

It’s Christmas! I could not be any happier!

You might not think it by looking at me, but I’m full of stardust.

I’m wearing the new release from Somnia – the aptly named Shimmer which is exclusively for the With Love Hunt.

You can hide that you are full of stars from some people. But other people, they look right inside of you, and there they are. They know you for the celestial being that you are.

The Universe shines inside my eyes.

Waiting for you.

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

~Oscar Wilde
