Post #81 Winter is Coming...

Well I live in Canada and it's way past this lovely fall look outside.  It's downright winter!  Autumn went very fast this year and since I was busy while it was going by I thought I'd recreate it in my Second Life.

Collabor88 has some great stuff this round.  I really bought a lot of things and can't wait to show everything off - and not in the last week like usual, lol. This post features a lovely tunic (which I picked up in a few colors) and a gorgeous skin from Glam Affair.

I got this hair from Wasabi Pills last winter.  I am so happy to finally be able to wear it!

Brrrrrr.... <3 Anahata

Post #75 Beach Shorts

Al Vulo! has a new group skin out for September, if you haven't gotten it yet you have 10 more days.  I really liked it except for the lips.  They were very ... plumpy.  I covered them with some lipstick and the skin all of a sudden got 10x nicer, lol.

These Ingenue Shorts from Collabor88 this month are to swoon over.  They fit so nice and I just love the ribbon on them.  They went great with the Auxiliary jewelry I picked up at faMESHed!

Found a lovely beach to take some pix at.  I left the location here...

Post #66 Pretty Blue Pockets

I was feeling pretty mellow.  I should have actually named this blog 'pretty damn ordinary' because I have no sense of high fashion in second life.  Well, I suppose I could but when i go places I don't feel like I'm doing anything high fashiony, so why bother.  I don't roleplay or talk to people haha.  I just go from sale to sale and check out new or favorite stores in between.  So I dress pretty casual.

I knew Fab Pony was closing and they had a nice pair of jeans they had given out a long time ago, so I went there and picked up a darker pair for 30L.  Everything in the store is 30L.  There is no mesh and it's all kinda outdated, but the jeans were cool.  I kinda don't like prims anymore, but there aren't enough mesh jeans around (that I know of) so I still wear them, but you can so see where the prim and the system pants meet!

Top and boots from Ronsem.  I love that store.  I love that the boots have a leopard pattern as an option haha!  The shirt would be pretty plain but the pockets make it all worth it.  All the shirts in this series are super cute and the mesh fits pretty good.

Boring.

Post #43 Yoga

 Last week I bought this cute little mesh outfit from Cold Logic.  I've been reading a lot about how some mesh items 'bend' weird, so I took this item out for a test run on my yoga mat.  Except for the little stretch in pattern you see there in the leg, it bent really nice and I could do all my moves without looking super twisted and deformed.  Cold Logic is good quality mesh, this is my conclusion (like I already didn't know!)

I got this "Rehab Retreat" from Cheeky Pea.  I kinda giggle at the name.  I think, when they mean 'rehab' do they mean like drug or alcohol rehab?  Or 'rehab' like you busted your neck doing a bad yoga pose and this is a gentle rehab type set of yoga poses.  I do think too much.  I also think this is one of the most relaxing things I've ever watched my avatar do besides dance in silks on my sofa (yes I watched myself do this and got mesmerized by the flowy skirt and probably my physics).  Anyways, it's pretty cool and a lovely add to any abode, whether you twist your mesh wearing body or not.

I bought the feet from Slink, took me long enough.  I was pretty content to run around in bare feet but then I started seeing peeps wearing these cute sandals and when I went to buy them I realized that you had to have the feet too.  So I splurged and bought them.  I'm pretty happy.  The only two things I didn't really like were that the backs of the ankles were darker than the front of the ankle (the foot fit like a charm though, my goodness, it was awesome).  So I matched the skin in the front, but when i turned around it was a bit darker and you could see the line.  They give you socks to blend with I'll have to figure those out further, because they looked strange on me.  The other thing was my toenails had a rim of red around them.  It made me feel like I had inflamed toes.  Not a big deal as I dont sit and stare at my toes for hours.

Other than that I'm feeling cyber relaxed and callllm.....

Post #31 Come Buy My Peppers...Or Die!

Was hanging out at the Cupcake Sim, sifting through the little thrift shop tables and stores and couldn't resist taking a picture while pretending I have a new job.  Loving my new mesh hair from Wasabi Pills (totally allergic to wasabi and would need  Benadryl pills if i ever ate that crazy stuff), I felt like a real saleslady with the kerchief keeping my hair from falling into the foodstuff.

I got a coffee stain on my pants, no I didn't spill it, some guy threw his Starbucks at me when I told him he was shilling for the corporate MAN.  I gave him a dirty look and threatened him with a giant baguette.  He ran as fast as he could.  He was obviously gluten intolerant.

My shape lost a bit of fullness as I had to fit into the blue pair of Mischa shoes from the fatpack I bought yesterday from Lelutka.  The straps just didn't fit properly around my cankles and I didn't want to size up the feet to fit because I'd look like I had clown feet.  Now just cuz I'm not as wide and burly as before doesn't mean I can't run a food stand in a sim that doesn't belong to me! 

tosses onions and makes people cry....

Post #29 The Bird is the Word

Checked out the new faMESHed event and there were some pretty nice things there.  Of course I made a beeline to the Celoe/Mon Tissu & Wasabi Pill booths.  I bought the pants first and thought, okay I have so many of these MonTissu shirts already I must have something else to go with them, but nothing looked as good as the shirt that came with the pants.  I headed out to a nice place where I might have a picnic because those pants just made me think of a sunny day filled with barbequed chicken.

I met that little bird on the fence.  She didn't move or anything so I decided she would become my friend, or perhaps teach me to fly.  I was thinking maybe she would think I was a bird too since we were both wearing orange... hehe.  Did I mention those pants are awesome!  I love the way they fit.

She just stared at me and i stared off into space, growing impatient.

Finally I started flapping my arms hoping she'd talk to me, she didn't.  She was a plastic bird.  I was depressed for the rest of the day and pigged out on what was left of my burned chicken.

Post #28 Ginger Ginger

Been a blonde forever in SL.  I've recieved free gifts and good deals in brunettes, blacks, and reds, but I never felt "right" in them.  Until now.  Tried on a demo from Wasabi Pills and fell in LOVE with their 'Gingerbread' red!  Something about it felt so right.  Can't say what it was, maybe it just went well with the skin I was wearing at the time But I loved it...

Putting on the red made me feel a bit daring, so I put on some black.  Not my usual tans, pinks and whites.  It was really neat and I decided to take some pictures at Kosh (and picked up some new jewelry while I was at it).  I am another Mamboo Chic skin I picked up the other day at the 99L closing sale.

I also FINALLY bought the darn Lelutka Mischa shoes I've been wanting since last summer.  I bought the KIA pack at shoe fair 2011 and these ones came out after, I believe.  I've loved them from day one, but for some weird reason got freaked out to shell out the money for a pair (probably because I had just spent almsot 6k on the KIA fatpack right?).  After getting this color hair I was on a red rampage, and splurged and bought the damn shoes already!  (I also had my friend with me who helped me decide because she loved them too...)

happy with my new shoes & hair....

Post #3 That Awesome Maitreya Dress

Atomic skin is awesome.  It's very sharp and vivid.  I had the demos for a long time and couldn't bring myself to buy one because they are quite expensive.  I suppose if I hadn't spent 8 million dollars at Dutch Touch in the last couple of years I'd be more apt to blow a bundle on really good skins.  But I never seem to wear my DT anymore, so I have become very weary about buying fatpacks worth thousands.  Of course Atomic started showing up at the Dressing Room events and I went squeee!!! and now buy every one that shows up.  SO happpy!

Love the mesh dress from Maitreya.  It makes CUUUURVES on my body, pretty close to my own.  Love...love...LOVE the way the 'fabric' wrinkles (although in real life that would probably be annoying), but on SL it just looks a zillion times more realistic than the fricking flexi prim skirts I still see people wearing all over the place.  A lot of times I go into a club and the first thing I see is grey flexis that haven't rezzed yet.  Stupid SL went and dumped my cache the other day, so now everywhere I go, it takes forever to load.  I gotta quit trying to make shadows happen.  No.  It's just not gonna happen for me.  They look all jaggedy and weird.  Where was I going with this????

Love the mesh hair from Wasabi Pills.  I haven't found another good mesh hair store yet.  I love this one because it is so cute!  And cute is what I aim for.  All the way baby.  Call this picture Le Suprisito.

 Even though I'm a girl, I can't stop staring at my ass in this dress.  It's just so SHAPELY!

I don't use Viewer 2, I used the mesh version of Phoenix, so unfortunately I cannot wear two alpha layers at once.  So I gotta wear some old style boots from J's (which actually look pretty good) with the dress.  In certain texture background I can see the fricking bulky hidey invisiprim layers that have driven me crazy since the beginning of my life on SL.

 HELP I'M DRUNK AND I CAN'T GET UP!
