Basic B*tches: A Skittles Meme

Ms. Unicorns and Rainbows herself (Skittles) decided that she was going to give us a meme to chew on and this is one that I actually found quite easy to do! Our mission, to blog about the basic items we can’t leave home without in SL.  Easy peasy, right?

For the record, these shots have mucho minimal editing because I wanted you to get the true flavor of the items I’m wearing. <3

Basic B*tches_002

We’ll start at the top and work our way down, yes?

Hair: Up until recently I was strictly a Truth kinda girl. In brown’s I wore espresso, in red’s I wore Jupiter and since I’ve gone blonde, Oasis is my go-to color. Lately though I find myself wearing more and more Exile hair (American Woman in Vanilla shown above).

Skin: I will admit, I have a skin collection that rivals Lucie Bluebird’s, but in the past year I have pretty much been a straight Izzie’s girl, with the occasional daliance with Aux and Glam Affair. However, last night I purchased my very first Laura Hurley skin (Lina in Milky shown above) and I think I now have a new everyday favorite.

Shape: Mine – ever changing and all mine.

Eyes: Well, I’m not much of an eye person. I’m kind of lazy at it really. I mostly wear Curio‘s Tragic Ocean eyes because well… why not?

Lashes: Ok, I may be the only blogger on the planet that fails at mesh eyelashes but I cannot, for the life of me, get them to look good in a photo. My solution? I have this set of tattoo lashes that I got EONS ago in a skin set I got from Curves Shapes and Skins, and I just love them. The one’s I wear the most are Lashes 3.

Lips: I mostly wear a nude lip for everyday wear. A few months ago Izzie’s released a set of Glossy Lip Highlights that have become a staple in my beauty regime.

Jewelry: I rarely wear anything but Maxi Gossamer jewelry. I love Maxi’s style and the fact that she has a jewelry set for just about any outfit you can dream up. It truly is THE place to go for that perfect accent to a cute outfit. Today I’m wearing a favorite, the Marrakech Heart. This one also happens to be available in RL on Maxi’s Shapeway site!

Movin’ on down…

Undies: Ladies we have all been there, you’re wearing that cute new mesh dress, you’re at a party and you take a seat trying to look all cool and collected and HELLO… your cookies are out there for all the world to see! Mhmm, you know it’s true. I wear undies just about every single day in SL to avoid that kind of embarrassment. (Izzie’s Jolie Bra and Panties in Rose pictured above). Now, my favorite color is pink and as my dear friend Skylar likes to point out every single damn day, the pink panties don’t look much different from my cookies. Hence my new nickname, Cookie. Thank you Skylar.

Shoes: You will rarely, if ever, see me without  my Gos shoes, or my Gos arched bare feet. (Gos Grace Sandles in Mirror shown above).

YAY that was fun! Thanks Skittles for the Meme and I hope you do more of them!

Viva La Vie Boheme!

I’ve been in kind of a funk lately and unable to snap out of it, no matter how hard I tried. The other night my friend Krisy decided to drag me off of my platform and give me just what the doctor ordered. A Second Life Fashion shopping trip that revolved around accentuating the adorable Deco mesh tutu she bought me! Honestly, nothing cheers a girl up more than shopping and tutus… except maybe the RENT soundtrack, shopping and tutus… but ANYWAYS!!!

See the results of our galavanting below!

We got our shirts from Sn@tch. I don’t know why I don’t shop at Sn@tch more often, that is going to change!

Our boots are the Triumph Boots from Gos. I am in absolute love with them and wear them every chance I get.

I had a total blast taking these photos.  My evening w/Krisy reminded me that my SL world is wide open, I just need to step off my platform and enjoy the ride!

Take care of each other <3

Heart Repair: Back in Black

Hi guys, I don’t know if you missed me, but I sure missed you all. I took a little mini-break for some heart repair. You know when two good people just aren’t good together anymore? Well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. However I will not forget the 3 years of incredible memories we shared. I really can’t say one bad thing about him, and I wish him nothing but  happiness.

One of my friends said that I look like I’m in mourning in this photo. And I guess maybe I am … for what used to be.

Sophisticated Adventures

I’ll admit I’m always a bit late to the party, and exploring the new sophisticated Adult type sims that have been popping up on Second Life lately are no exception. Last night my new girlie friends Skylar and Autumn of Constellations, Maci of Lil Miss Fashion Cupcake and Bean of Serene Cadence, all decided we needed to get off of our platforms and have a little fun.

Skylar recommended we hang out at The Chambers. Which, after much convincing, shopping and primping, we did. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I had this vision of walking into a pick-up joint and having to play defense against Butabi Brother look-alikes in shiny shirts all night and it wasn’t like that at all. Everyone was very fashionably dressed, the men in suits or tuxes an the ladies in various evening attire. The nicest part was that most everyone was very polite when they approached me, even when it was clear I was going to share nothing more than a pleasant conversation with them.

Sophisticated Adventures

 

This morning I took a trip over the another new Adult hot spot called The Library. It was just as impressive in design and I was able to snap a photo while hiding in one of the book stacks. I think I may try to convince the girls to check this place out some evening this week when festivities are in full swing.

Happy exploring! <3

Trying to Get Into the Spirit

The holidays are always a little rough around my RL household. I truly hate being away from my daughter during the holidays. Then my step-daughter, who has just turned 17 and has proven to be more of a handful than I ever thought she would be, often chooses the holidays as the perfect stage to perform her very own drama. It makes me want to throw in the towel and skip the holidays all together.

You see, when I was growing up my family was extremely close. Our holidays were FULL of traditions. Every year the day after Thanksgiving my dad would drag all of the Christmas stuff out of the attic and the fun would begin! My VERY important job was separating the branches of our artificial (I was allergic to real one’s) Christmas tree by the little colors painted on the metal ends. It was my job and I was brilliant at it! Next, my dad would start to put it together and I was his assistant. He would ask for a color, I would hand him a branch, it was very, very technical!

Next my mom would fluff the branches and string the lights before perfectly placing the delicate glass balls evenly throughout the tree. Then, she let us loose! We each had a box of ornaments that we had been painting year after year and we trimmed the tree like nobody’s business. It was an awesome tradition, and I swore that when I was grown-up and had a family, I would carry this tradition on. However, I guess things don’t always work out as we planned, hmm?

Christmas-Decorating_003

So, I decided to trim the tree in my Second Life home instead, thanks to this adorable pose/prop set from Sway’s, I was able to do so. Doesn’t it look lovely so far?

Christmas-Decorating_001

Oh! While we’re on the subject of Sway, I need to mention a very special event coming up called Together for Sway. Sway Dench, a beloved creator, is facing the removal of a tumor from her brain. This will leave her unable to work for a while and some of her amazing friends got together and organized a fundraiser to ease some of the financial burden that Sway will face. Click HERE for more information on the event.

Perhaps focusing on helping others will bring that ol’ Christmas spirit back!
