I have to admit that the reason is because I've been mostly logging in as my alt. I've joined a Role Play community and have been spending my SL time a little differently than I have in the past. It's been quite amusing. My alt has an entirely different style than my main, in part because she lives in an urban fantasy environment, so her style is darker, harder and skimpier. I used the same basic shape to make her but her eyes are a dark red color instead of green and her hair is always some shade of red/pink. It's been fun to play with a new style and my goal for her has been to outfit her as cheaply as possible, mostly freebies, in fact.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JXTwxP2T_u8/VH52OBCtjHI/AAAAAAAAEm8/ILtfO3_O4hw/s1600/wil.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JXTwxP2T_u8/VH52OBCtjHI/AAAAAAAAEm8/ILtfO3_O4hw/s400/wil.png" /></a></div><br />
This is probably as covered up as she'll ever be but I just fell in love with this top by Purple Moon that I scored at their Halloween hunt earlier this year. Paired with some leggings from a group gift and these amazing Baby Monkey boots, I feel ready to take on the world.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X384wa0vD9Q/VH52OHPi20I/AAAAAAAAEm0/y_HZEzPn_Q0/s1600/wil1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X384wa0vD9Q/VH52OHPi20I/AAAAAAAAEm0/y_HZEzPn_Q0/s400/wil1.png" /></a><br />
<br />
This is a bit more of her casual style, boots are a must, as is a bad ass jacket. Who needs to bother with a real top, just throw on a bikini/bra and she's good to go.<br />
<br />

This dress is definitely a template but I love it none-the-less. It's sexy without being too straight up slutty...sort of. Ok so it has the right amount of slut for my Wil. Who, btw, isn't actually a slut even in the big bad city. She is single and likely to remain so though, so back off.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u8eMdX2eiak/VH52PldrZwI/AAAAAAAAEnE/JZR6HAEW0Fk/s1600/wil3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u8eMdX2eiak/VH52PldrZwI/AAAAAAAAEnE/JZR6HAEW0Fk/s400/wil3.png" /></a></div><br />
I love this sweater that I got from Sassy in a hunt earlier this year but I have to admit that the skirt that it comes with is even tinier than the one she's wearing by Blueberry, so I mixed it up a little. Once more boots are everything.<br />
<br />
I also just noticed something interesting to me. I refer to Anichka as my myself and thus myself, I refer to Wil as a third person. She is her own person and somehow completely separate from myself and Anichka. I don't really understand why my brain divides them thusly but there you have it. Random, right? Anyway, here's to actually updating my blog!<br />

But I had to take a minute to check in because Hair Fair is also in full swing and there are tons and tons of awesome and generous gifts at the event along with fabulous items that benefit Wigs for Kids. Today I'm focused on the free and dollarbie when it comes to the hair styles. These are my just a few of my favorites. <br />

I've also managed to collect a decent little set of swimsuits for the season, most, if not all of these are past group gifts, some current. Since I've been renting a lovely little cottage on the shore this summer this swimsuit collection has come in handy. So has this dock from Circa. It's perfect to hang out on and catch some sun or dip my toes in the water. My shore is a little rocky for diving but this is still a great slipping off point for a quick dip. <br />

However, I love the imagery, I love the colors, flowers, bunnies and duckies and eggs. I love everything about it because it means Spring is really, finally, here. This winter was hard, multiple snows for a snow hater kinda hard. But now the weather is warmer and the pollen is full effect. This month brings all kinds of wonderful things, including this gorgeous Cortona Villa by Trompe Loeil for April's Collabor88. This is technically a series of small Tuscan style villas connected together via a split level courtyard. Of course, you're always welcome to just make it a baller family home or whatever because frankly, for it's size and quality, it is a steal at the Collab pricing. <br />

Also available for this month's FaMESHed is this stunning jump suit by Cracked Mirror. I love the color options and the back of this is just amazing. The rich blue inspired my hair for this look, Little Bones released an awesome group gift and this was one of the many color options in the hud. Perfect! Paired with Baby Monkey sandals and a festive little bunny touch by Belstar Boutique and I'm all ready to go for a fun day in the spring sun. My skin is also new to me but I think it's from a past round of the Dressing Room by Essences. Essences has really become my go-to face since I first tried one on, instant love. And thankfully very generous with discount skins in events, making it possible to be beautiful on a budget. <br />

I managed to snag a one room skybox for a steal with 30 prims for unpacking but then I was ejected and refunded when the sim went bye bye. So I began the search again, this time finding a really cute townhouse, partially furnished for a little bit more a week but with 50 prims for unpacking and a little decorating. I really liked this place. It's a good thing I got these two pictures of it because sure enough, ejected and refunded when the sim went bye bye. Sigh. Oh well. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JIpnXU4NsqY/Uyi_QdsOaII/AAAAAAAAElI/AIPmd1Gwp4A/s1600/freebs.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JIpnXU4NsqY/Uyi_QdsOaII/AAAAAAAAElI/AIPmd1Gwp4A/s640/freebs.png" /></a></div><br />
This was taken in my short lived bedroom, with some of the new Trompe Loeil goodies in this lovely rich, dark tone. I'm also digging my funky outfit. Everything except my ring is a freebie, either from a group gift or from a hunt. I can't remember which hunts though, or if they're still going. Sorry about that. But check out the stores anyway because cuteness. My top is by Etinceler and my pants are by VinCue, both of these are new to me stores, I think these were hunt gifts, possibly for a sim opening. Paired with some group gift shoes from Gos and hat hair by Little Bones and I'm almost good to go. My ring is the only thing that has a cost but it's worth every linden, this is probably one of the prettiest rings I've ever seen in Second Life. Normally jewelry is hit or miss for me but I think you seriously check out the vendor to truly see this ring.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FpeYF-cg2r0/Uyi_X9IUicI/AAAAAAAAElQ/gf0jtvMyq60/s1600/copper.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FpeYF-cg2r0/Uyi_X9IUicI/AAAAAAAAElQ/gf0jtvMyq60/s640/copper.png" /></a></div><br />
Oh and another thing to truly see, this copper texture that Trompe Loeil has recently been putting to use, how pretty is that? I'm currently obsessed with it and I used it immediately on my old little balcony. Alas that is no more. Don't worry though, I found a place already, same rent as the townhouse, double the prims and a corner island lot. So me and my lounge chairs are settling in nicely and I get to enjoy more of this lovely copper tone, even more actually cause now I have the space for it! Budgeting prims is just as serious a business as budgeting lindens. And lately, I'm a bang for your buck budget kinda babe. Had to go with the alliteration, just cause. <br />

Hopefully I've gotten over my slump and will continue to make regular blog appearances. This week I wanted to show you some the awesome freebies I've scooped up this week and they have me feeling all kinds of purple power! I'm still rocking the Essences freebie skin, Emma, which is just gorgeous. I love the bold lip. And Little Bones sent out this great new color option as a group gift of some new styles they've got. I love that sent out a darker hair than the usual group gifts, I miss my blacks whenever I switch it up and this little braid is just adorable and saucy.<br />
<br />

I paired it with some gifts I picked up at Violet Mafia, all you have to do is join the group and there's a ton of freebies from all across the grid. I love the poplin ruffle on this leather dress by Sassy, the texture is stunning and it fits my shape perfectly. Kennedy's provided my shoes and I was all set to dress it up with some bracelets that were included in a the gift from Envious. Throw in some diamonds from Sax Shepherd Designs and Iwas ready to explore the latest instillation at <a href="http://metalesperformance.blogspot.com/">MetaLES</a>. Now I might find some place to go dancing because I'm feeling a little bit like moving around today.<br />

I don't normally have an inventory full of formal wear because I so rarely get to use it, so when I heard that there was a formal wear hunt I was going to skip it entirely. Then I saw a picture of this dress by Poised and it had to be mine. For 1 linden, it's a complete steal. I love the color and the drama of the draping and the skirt.<br />
<br />

Paired with this free skin from Essences, with this beautiful bold lip, and I feel like a million bucks. All I needed was a little bling and a bag and I am ready for any Hollywood level event I can sneak myself into. I could have gone full glam with a huge up-do or big curls but I really love this old Alice Project hair, Bethany, the bow detail dresses it up from being a gym pony tail, making it perfect for a fun twist to a formal look. So look out Hollywood, I'm ready for my statue!<br />

My life has grown and changed in ways that I didn't imagine and I'm a ball of gratitude and happiness. As my first life has grown, my Second Life has somewhat retracted but it's still very much a part of my life, it's just now a piece of a very full tapestry, I got married, dove head first into my circus life, changed jobs and attempted to change my entire outlook on life (I've been taking a personal journey to become less of a worry-wart and a more, mellow, even tempered person, it's slowly working) and I've had the honor of meeting and befriending some of the most amazing humans I've ever known. I got to see, do and taste all kinds of new things, including performing in front of thousands of people. I've gotten to play with fire and light and indulge in color and passion like I've never really allowed myself to do before. I've stretched my comfort zone and pushed my own limits and I'm better for it. Sorry for the prater but this past year has been so transformative that it's hard not to drone on and on about it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aRUP8j0On1I/UsRLTQT809I/AAAAAAAAEj4/JPwXTov6hYY/s1600/Xmas2013.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aRUP8j0On1I/UsRLTQT809I/AAAAAAAAEj4/JPwXTov6hYY/s640/Xmas2013.png" /></a></div><br />
I've also still been blessed to be surrounded by some of the most amazing creations on the grid every time I log in. I've been sputtering between periods of homelessness in-world but every now and then I just have to indulge and decorate. This was the first year I didn't have time to do a Halloween house but I could not resist the urge to go all out in a holiday house and this one from Trompe Loeil is perfect for a cozy Christmas. I used an old kitchen from MMG and new sofas from Trompe as the backbone of my set up. I was also blessed by many of the advents on the grid with my decor, items including Trompe's Arcade offering as well as items from Circa, Weekend Salvage, etc. Several holiday hunts helped me out too like Peace on Earth. <br />
<br />

For my New Year's look I new I wanted something silver and gold, I've really been enjoying the metallic tones this year and I suspect this love will follow me into 2014. This adorable little cocktail dress by 1 Hundred fit perfectly for what I wanted, though it was a toss up because Cracked Mirror had adorable little trench dress out for FaMESHed this round. My shoes, jewelry and hair are all advent gifts from several generous designers. Well, I've been rambling on for awhile now, so I should probably go but I wanted to let you know that I may not post as often as I use to in the upcoming year but I still hope to be around and posting, hence no goodbye post from me anytime soon. I love y'all and I hope everyone has an amazing 2014! Let's do this one right!<br />

I hadn't opened it before because even though it was a rare, it was blonde. I have't really felt blonde since my teen years, so it's not a color I often wear in Second Life either, however I gave it a go and now I think I may have a blonde month or maybe even summer, just for a change. It is rather summery and thankfully my current favorite skin brand, Essences, includes a lot of different brow options in most of their selections, so it's been an easy switch so far.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3LMuUQpm8Sk/Udjgwd6-K-I/AAAAAAAAEic/TTLZZsQsqIM/s1600/julyhot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3LMuUQpm8Sk/Udjgwd6-K-I/AAAAAAAAEic/TTLZZsQsqIM/s640/julyhot.png" /></a></div><br />
I also finally got a new Government House, as Gidge of Shopping Cart Disco calls them. I gave mine up because I didn't like the layout (who does, they're all kind of awful) but then I tried too many times to change and as a result spent a few days homeless. When I got into this one I immediately raise property values in the neighborhood by dropping my Circa inflatable pool and folding chairs on my front porch. It's very hot these days and a girl needs to beat the heat, ok? Luckily my cute look helps my letting my skin breathe. My top is by Auxiliary, free for the third Fist Pump hunt and my skirt was on discount until yesterday at Acid Lily, it's by Candy Metal. My shoes were a free group gift and my headband was also free in hunt. Much of my look is on the cheap, as always.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eWBTboIzYww/Udjg5Fsk1vI/AAAAAAAAEik/b9pzAgmrJ70/s1600/anisl.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eWBTboIzYww/Udjg5Fsk1vI/AAAAAAAAEik/b9pzAgmrJ70/s320/anisl.png" /></a></div><br />
Speaking of hunts, I did my first full hunt in awhile yesterday, the Fist Pump 3 Hunt and it's pretty awesome. Not every gift was a keeper for me but most were and it's a fairly short hunt with only 43 vendors, so it wasn't a huge task to undertake. Oh! And the 2nd Make Up and Tattoo hunt is currently underway! I got my awesome eye tattoo in the hunt, it's a good time to stock up on all your skin art needs and it runs until the end of the month. Earlier in the week I also stumbled on this neat little word art thing called Tagxedo that I used to make this little graphic with my blog's url. I choose the hand because of the lab's logo, thought it was kinda fun to play with. Now I'm off to explore the grid a little more today, trying to decide if blondes really do have more fun or if that's just a myth?<br />

It was kind of awesome seeing so many of my plurk friends in world and getting to check out all the fashions and styles as each and every prom goer dressed to the nines. I even had fun picking out a dress, I had three promising options, so much like Say Yes to the Dress, I had to narrow down my preferences. My only rule was that I wanted to use something from my inventory rather buying a new dress because I so rarely get to use what I already have. <br />
<br />

Short and saucy this MoYaz dress has sparkle and glamour while letting my move freely. The sparkle is what attracts me to this dress. This second dress by Kaithleen's is all class with a deep blue silk and black lace overlay. I loved that while it drips with sex appeal - it's conservative and demure. And finally this Leri Miles Designs dress is total prom perfection with it's huge skirt and pretty princess pink. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p9QZ9EuYuBs/UcZazmf7_eI/AAAAAAAAEiA/J3ZvZ1ERVVs/s1600/prom13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p9QZ9EuYuBs/UcZazmf7_eI/AAAAAAAAEiA/J3ZvZ1ERVVs/s640/prom13.png" /></a></div><br />
After changing and changing and changing several times over I finally settled on comfort as my choice. This is a dance, after all, and I want to be able to move and grove. The tunes were a blast, while I was there an awesome kick of late nineties/early aughts hits was the choice du jour and it was awesome. This was my second year attending this event and I must say, it was just as much fun this time around. But there again, any excuse to dance, right?<br />

With a new round of Arcade and FaMESHed in play there's so much awesome that it's hard to wrap your head around it all. First on my agenda is that I decided it was time for a little trip to my new rustic cabin by Trompe Loeil, it's available for Collabor88 this month, one bedroom of adorableness. Perfect for summer trips to the mountains. I got there via my hot new Hucci ride from the Arcade and let me tell you just how much fun this car is to drive - so. much. fun.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NlbhvLl7YdI/Ub4tUv85jLI/AAAAAAAAEhQ/KeH-qEY3GYs/s1600/june.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NlbhvLl7YdI/Ub4tUv85jLI/AAAAAAAAEhQ/KeH-qEY3GYs/s640/june.png" /></a></div><br />
Depraved Nation is also hosting another Thrift Shop this month, that's where the art by CIRCA is from I believe. My super cute 8 ball table is also by Trompe Loeil for this round of the Arcade, and it's only 25L a play! I try not to go crazy at GACHA events but I did have a lot of fun at the Arcade this month. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-71LPXrrfR0o/Ub4tbUPQqLI/AAAAAAAAEhY/M0_2AdacKt8/s1600/june2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-71LPXrrfR0o/Ub4tbUPQqLI/AAAAAAAAEhY/M0_2AdacKt8/s640/june2.png" /></a></div><br />
FaMESHed is where you can find this amazing bedroom set and a ton of artwork to help decorate your space. Trompe Loeil has really worked their butts off this month and are offering some amazing items. The linens are texture change and the bed comes in several color options for the frame. I tend to prefer dark woods and of course my greens, so that's why I like this set up the best.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jd77Cliv4s4/Ub4teNoA6EI/AAAAAAAAEhg/hKQAoLQBc6M/s1600/june3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jd77Cliv4s4/Ub4teNoA6EI/AAAAAAAAEhg/hKQAoLQBc6M/s640/june3.png" /></a></div><br />
My hair is by Clawtooth for this round of the Arcade and it went so perfectly with this skin by Pink Fuel that I picked up there. I had to pair them together and I must say that I feel truly beautiful in this combination even if the hair color is a little lighter than I usually wear. It's very hard to get a dark Clawtooth hair at the GACHAs it seems. But it matched my brows, so it's perfection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c284_nxA2RI/Ub4tgVGRYVI/AAAAAAAAEho/kTaB-QV0tsA/s1600/juneclose.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c284_nxA2RI/Ub4tgVGRYVI/AAAAAAAAEho/kTaB-QV0tsA/s640/juneclose.png" /></a></div><br />
And now I feel the need...the need for speed. So I think I'm gonna take my hot little roadster our for another jaunt before the sun sets. Feel the almost-summer wind in my hair and sun on my face and try not to crash this thing as it's got quite a bit of get-up and go in it. Hope this month is being kind to y'all. Remember, much of this stuff will be either gone forever (the Arcade items) or possibly at a higher price in two weeks, so you better hurry for these awesome deals.<br />

I'm from the south so boots are perfect for me year round, who knows what I'm going to get into that will require a good pair of boots. Like playing with my newest hoop! This fantastic polypro is by Decoy and I'm probably going to be using it as much in-world as I use mine in real life because it's adorable and has the cutest pose hud to hoop the day away with! My top is a new release by Zanzo and it comes in several adorable patterns. <br />
<br />

By the way, tomorrow is your very last chance to stop by this year's Home and Garden Expo, a week is seriously too short of a time for such a huge event like this. I wish that they had given it at least two weeks at the minimum. 8 sims is a lot to cover! This really cute cottage and swing set is by a new to me brand called By Dorian. But this cottage is seriously sweet. I even love the rez box, do you see that cute little birdhouse? Rezzer! I love that. Inside is equally cute and it's size is more appropriate for single person or a couple. I'm definitely going to check out their other creations now that I know they're out there!<br />

The annual event in Second Life benefits the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and each creator has specific items that where the purchase goes directly to the cause. And there's always a ton of awesomeness to be found at the expo. This year it's made up of 8 sims and each one is packed with a ton of things to see. The only bad thing about the expo is that it's only a week long! You have a few more days left to check out everything and that can be a little overwhelming. Be sure to check out the <a href="http://slhomeandgardenexpo.wordpress.com/">website</a> for a map to help make sure you don't miss anything.<br />
<br />

If you're in need of a family home this gorgeous house by Tranquil Homes is for you. It's huge, 4 bedrooms, a den, full kitchen, dining room, 2 bathrooms! The works and there's furniture for each room if you don't feel like decorating it on your own, or there's plenty to find at the expo.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0gP2xWa_EM/UaGfe3M8nWI/AAAAAAAAEfk/3lX8zAs9_ZM/s1600/hngexpocol.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0gP2xWa_EM/UaGfe3M8nWI/AAAAAAAAEfk/3lX8zAs9_ZM/s640/hngexpocol.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Did I mention that it has a two car garage? Plenty of room for my new van by Bauwerk. The kitchen comes fully stocked and there's a ton of outdoor space, a huge front porch and an adorable back one. I had lots of room to put up outdoor sets by both What Next and Circa. One for each porch, so I have plenty of spots to relax. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GMsLiE3R3mo/UaGfe_BbW8I/AAAAAAAAEfc/hg86v2gTLCI/s1600/hngexpocol2.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="156" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GMsLiE3R3mo/UaGfe_BbW8I/AAAAAAAAEfc/hg86v2gTLCI/s640/hngexpocol2.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The living room space is huge and has a lovely little fireplace. I used a sofa and chair from Dekute and some accessories by Second Spaces and Dreamscapes Art Gallery to make it feel a little more like home. I'm only showing you two of the bedrooms, there's room for a fifth if you don't want to use the den area as an office like I did. My desk is by Park Place and I found some bookcases by Cobblestone and Chiana Oh. I'm a sucker for bookcases as you know.<br />
<br />
I do feel like I should mention that there's been some controversy with one of the stores who is well known to use images just taken from google without permission. I believe that their Expo stand has been cleaned up but I know there's still some concern out there. So just be aware and do a little research before you buy, it doesn't take much effort to google image search something to see if a piece or art or a texture does not belong to the creator selling them.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile the expo has already raised over $18,000 for Relay for Life! Keep it up, Second Life, you're amazing!<br />

I went out of town on a little mini-vacation and it was such an amazing time. I realize that I haven't been posting very often, it's trickled down to barely ever but it's because I'm trying to enjoy and work on real life in some aspects. I miss my virtual outlet and I still return as often as I can.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6vKHRxZovLI/UZkzJjja2_I/AAAAAAAAEfE/_qtuza-cg2Y/s1600/tlcm1.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="528" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6vKHRxZovLI/UZkzJjja2_I/AAAAAAAAEfE/_qtuza-cg2Y/s640/tlcm1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
I get giddy when I return and see amazing things like this. I'm a little sadder about giving up my land now that I've seen this gorgeous beach house by Trompe Loeil. It's the perfect size for me on the inside and this porch is heavenly. My dress is by Cracked Mirror and it's also for this month's FaMESHed, I was so excited to see this dress in such a rich green tone. I love the structure and lines of it. It's very retro office and even though it has peplum details that I love in SL but usually hate in rl, I totally want this dress in my real closet. <br />
<br />

<br />
My hair is another release for FaMESHed by Alice Project, I showed off their curly release in my last post and I love this just as much. I love the Betty Page bangs and I had a lot of fun using Alice's sparkle princess dye hud to get the streaky look that matched my dress nicely. Hey, what can I say? I took that part from Wizard of Oz where Dorothy wants her eyes to match her dress seriously, ok? And I like to apply it to hair streaks too. I can't say when my posting will pick back up, if ever, but thank you for sticking with me anyway.<br />

The curls are amazing. Did you know that Alice Project was probably the first on the grid to release a mesh hair? I've been a huge fan of Alice Project since I first discovered them some years ago, I think when the store was fairly new and I've been addicted ever since and it's maybe gotten worse since the introduction of her amazing dye huds. Decided that I was feeling a little green today and with just a click of a button, poof cuteness! It's also a lovely day to be outside and since actually will be spending most of my day outside I decided to bring out some fun spring items by Circa as well. A nice cozy little space to enjoy the day, some yummy food and get some work done.<br />

These are the first shorts of the season are by Candy Metal! Thanks to Acid Lily I was able to stock up on summer shorts this week and this adorable little crop top by Leri Miles Designs says love on the front and is just darling. I think there's only a day or so left for the deals at Acid Lily so you may want to hurry and stock up on some cheap summer wear. BTW, I'm temporarily back in a Linden House as I recently gave up my platform. I haven't been able to get in-world enough lately to justify maintaining a parcel, so while I do still have a place to dress, unpack and hang 117 prims, I don't have all the space I'm use to but it won't be forever because I hear rumblings of a house that I'm sure I will just have to have once it's released. I hope y'all are doing well and that your week is full of sun and fun!<br />
<br />
I'm off to volunteer at the local LGBT festival and hoop the rest of the day away!<br />

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much. Lots going on here but I may end up being lame and just posting a few pics with credits here and there because I do still take pics when I can, it's finding time to find words that seems to be the trouble at the moment. But I miss you all.<br />

Meanwhile you've only got about two days left to do Acid Lily's Spring is Near Hunt. There's several really adorable things available to get you in the springy feeling.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K1L8Cf7cSd8/UWGui19gk8I/AAAAAAAAEbc/FEi_g_1BeNk/s1600/SINH.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="528" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K1L8Cf7cSd8/UWGui19gk8I/AAAAAAAAEbc/FEi_g_1BeNk/s640/SINH.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
My favorite was this outfit from Even Flow, the pants and jacket are both available for the hunt and I adore this look so much. I threw on a pair of Ingenue kitten heels and I feel all American and oh so ready to take on the day. Which for me means practicing choreography as I have a performance in less than week. So, off I go to throw a hoop around the yard. Happy Hunting!<br />

This may mean getting the boot from some of my bloggers group and while I hope not, I understand if that's the case and thanks for the ride. Thanks even more to the designers who're willing to stick it out with me. Since Spring is in the air things have been getting busy in-world too with all kinds of wonderful releases! I cannot tell you how awesome the new dye huds from Alice Project are, there's sparkles, y'all, sparkles! I love that I can add a little green glitter to my 'do.<br />

Speaking of green, Cracked Mirror's dress for the Boutique is oh so cute and sexy. I love the black lace overlay. And my skin is the latest release from Essences for this round of Zodiac. I love Essences skins and I buy up almost all of the discounted skins I can get my hands on so I rushed over immediately when I know a new one is out. My bracelets are available for a very limited time on discount at Acid Lily, Phoebe's Piercings made them and I like that they gave us a cuff option. The biceps need some jewelry love too! And my new bed and tree house by Trompe Loeil for this round of Collabor88 are to die for, the bed has color change pillows and the house is a steal at 288L with color changing leaves! So much new to love.<br />
<br />
I hope you guys will stick around with me through this down time, I'll try to post as often as I can but it may go down to only once a week until things settle down again.<br />

I managed to score a new bag which is totally adorable.<br />

My sweater and my boots are also from Acid Lily for this round. The jeans are old. I do find that with some boots in Second Life it's good to keep a pair of system jeans around as mesh doesn't always fit inside nicely.<br />

I've been taking classes now every week for a few months after hooping on my own and while I'm not at all capable of twin hooping while inverted in real life yet, I love that I can hoop at all in Second Life! I actually have more hoops in SL than I do in RL. Some that are static, like this one for pictures, and some that actually let me hoop, at least around my waist or hips. I love when both worlds interact like that, I think it happens a good bit in my slife. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NcJScrsQlJc/UTfdxzFgidI/AAAAAAAAEWQ/GgFr5t29WiI/s1600/alhoops.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="528" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NcJScrsQlJc/UTfdxzFgidI/AAAAAAAAEWQ/GgFr5t29WiI/s640/alhoops.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
This is another excellent week for in-world deals. I absolutely love the outfit I'm wearing today. The shorts, top and boots are all from Acid Lily, so you know they were a steal. And I love how rockin' this look turned out, all I had to do was add the cat scratch tights and I was good to go. In all reality I'm not sure how hooping in tights would work, you need mostly cotton and natural fabrics to really be able to get a good spin. But here, in world, I'm allowed to do and be anything and the only other thing that I've found to be as liberating as that, is hooping. Having hobbies that are creative, mentally and physically engaging has truly helped me improve my mood over the last little while. I still have a long way to go, I'm kinda Miss Grumpy Pants sometimes but I'm getting there. What are some of your hobbies and how do they impact your life?<br />

Meanwhile the vanity is an example of perfection. I love the poses and props that comes with it. The blue is my favorite, I love cool tones and furniture that reflects it suits me just fine.<br />
<br />

And Cracked Mirror is offering up this deliciously sexy little number for this round of FaMESHed as well. It comes in several different color options, including a gorgeous green but I still feel sexiest in black, so that's the one I had to throw on when I decided that it was time to Vogue in front of the mirror. After doing my make up and nails of course. If you haven't had the chance to head over to FaMESHed yet, I know there's a lot going right now, you should take the time because you're sure to find something that you love.<br />

Each item is 5 linden and the hunt ends on March 10th, so you still have plenty of time to check things out. I'm still so in love with the Pink Fuel skin from the Free Style Store that I decided to do some close ups. Luckily for me I think it really works with purple tones of the hunt items.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DFvAJF3LLCw/UTFpkAodxdI/AAAAAAAAEVo/8r7-uPE2sHg/s1600/lavenderhill1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="526" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DFvAJF3LLCw/UTFpkAodxdI/AAAAAAAAEVo/8r7-uPE2sHg/s640/lavenderhill1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
This first item is actually a cute little dress by Immerse that I paired with this darling necklace from NuDoLu. My second look is with a top from Even Flow and a necklace from Sigma. At 5Ls a pop you really can't beat this for a cute, lavendery look.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XOBe9T_TBsQ/UTFpkBJ6DQI/AAAAAAAAEVw/veCd7iCwLPM/s1600/lavenderhill2.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="526" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XOBe9T_TBsQ/UTFpkBJ6DQI/AAAAAAAAEVw/veCd7iCwLPM/s640/lavenderhill2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Oh and if you love poses but haven't stopped by the Free Style Store yet I urge you to check it out. There's a ton of great pose options available at a bargain there, including the ones I'm using today by !bang. Three poses in each pack with two packs offered at 10 lindens, I got both packs and it's oh so very worth it and more. Second Life seems to be ringing in the month with some killer deals.<br />

At least, not if you're a woman in SL because this store has a ton to offer at insanely cheap prices. I managed to get a sneak peak of the store and I can definitely see myself checking back often for new stock. The Free Style Store is a store brought to you by the folks behind the <a href="http://slfreestyle.blogspot.com/">Free Style</a> Blog. They've gathered up a whole bunch of creators and put them in one, well two, easy to access places. With prices ranging from free to the very reasonable 50 lindens, you get a lot of bang for your proverbial buck here.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1sQhCDOHNoM/US1JKVLqrtI/AAAAAAAAEVM/lC7VWY2E4b4/s1600/fs1.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="528" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1sQhCDOHNoM/US1JKVLqrtI/AAAAAAAAEVM/lC7VWY2E4b4/s640/fs1.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
I immediately fell in love with the skin that Pink Fuel is offering up for an amazing 50L. And I picked up two complete looks for under 250L, I'm not sure that's something you can really shake a stick at. I love both of the dresses I picked up, the first by Eclectic Apparel and the second by Valentina E. both are perfect for cocktails or a dinner party or whatever. And there's plenty of accessories to choose from to top off your look. Did I mention that there's GACHAs upstairs? Yeah, lots of them, my shoes in this photo come from one, 25L a pop. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GR4I_CN4VZE/US1JK7a_1ZI/AAAAAAAAEVU/TwjJuO_kgRs/s1600/fs2.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="528" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GR4I_CN4VZE/US1JK7a_1ZI/AAAAAAAAEVU/TwjJuO_kgRs/s640/fs2.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
And don't forget the freebies, while most of the items in store are really cheap there are quite a few freebies as well. My shoes, necklace and bracelet are all freebies offered by some of the incredible designers taking part. The vendors can change at any time and it's pretty much up to creators when the stock change, so my advice would be hit the subscribo by the door to keep up with news and stock rotations. The store officially opens tomorrow and I hear there's rumblings of expansion already, so be on the look out for more from the Free Style folks.<br />

This sim, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA13/153/35/22">Cica Ghost's Black and White World</a>, is a really neat place and perfect to show some of the items available this round of Acid Lily.

I love when looks come together for cheap and still manage to look amazing. It's probably one of my favorite things ever in Second Life. I am sucker for shopping events and sales and hunts, as I'm sure you all know by now. The pants I even picked up when they were on sale but I've only now been able to blog them. And even now I must be brief because I've lot to do but I hope y'all are having a very nice weekend!<br />

This week I had to go for this sexy sleek chemise by MoYaz and these adorable heels by Even Flow, I love that these shoes are named for Wizard of Oz characters, I love that movie, film, everything, I love it. I went with the Tin Man tone in order to go with my understated black chemise.<br />

I really am tired though and this little number is rather comfy and that bed is looking mighty cozy. Husband is working late tonight and I'm about to crawl in to bed for some silly TV that I like to spare him from but I'm not entirely sure I'm going to be able to stay awake to greet him, he may just come home to a sleeping beauty tonight. Sweet dreams, y'all.<br />

And while this doesn't really match our poses or clothes in the real world it does fit our style and it's a nice approximation. We also finally partnered our avatars. So it's official in both lives.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qgFmbXqAufY/USK2Pb-pvmI/AAAAAAAAET8/9EuGcsX9NNM/s1600/married4.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="330" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qgFmbXqAufY/USK2Pb-pvmI/AAAAAAAAET8/9EuGcsX9NNM/s400/married4.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I did wear my hair similarly and I did rock a bird cage veil, so that much is true to life. Ben does look amazing in a suit and we are madly in love after all these years together. We compliment each other in some very tangible ways and as cheesy as it sounds we honestly do make each other the best we can be. That's what a true partner in life should be, someone who makes you a better you. And we laugh, a lot.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yoHf_80vzNs/USK2PQf1API/AAAAAAAAEUA/WoOk34TExfQ/s1600/married5.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="330" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yoHf_80vzNs/USK2PQf1API/AAAAAAAAEUA/WoOk34TExfQ/s400/married5.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I really love the lace overlay of this dress by MOLiCHiNO and it wasn't exactly easy to find a dress I liked in Second Life, most of the ones I found were either a little too revealing or way too poofy. But this one fit me nicely and I found the veil on marketplace by Boon, it was a perfect fit and came in several color options for later looks. And even though you can just barely see them, I am in love with my new Gos shoes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P1IXZqMYf8g/USK2RBD0eZI/AAAAAAAAEUQ/Iixn2nTMJP4/s1600/married8.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="330" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P1IXZqMYf8g/USK2RBD0eZI/AAAAAAAAEUQ/Iixn2nTMJP4/s400/married8.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Ben was actually easy to get ready as pretty much had everything in his inventory already from the last time I went shopping for him. I'm sure he could look sharper but he rarely logs in so it doesn't make much sense to spend a ton decking out his avatar. And I also went the cheap route with our poses, marketplace and all of them under 5 lindens. That's another great way this mirrors our real life wedding, cheap and stress free. We've officially been man and wife for 4 days and while it's taking some getting use to referring to him as my husband after all these years, I am over the moon with how in love I am with this wonderful man. No matter world we find ourselves in.<br />
