LOTD 6-28-11

Goodness, it's been so long since I have done this, I just about forgot how. Now that I am able to work from my main av, and lets face it, Dinalya has always been my main av, I have a lot more time to come on and get my inventory organized, play around with fashion and such. Yet, I still stand around in the same outfit for days it seems. Work tends to absorb about 60 hours a week, and with starting a side business as well... snapping a picture seemed impossible!

However, I obtained a large amount of poses from this fabulous designer, Purple Poses, who just recently got their own sim with DSE and has set up shop. If you haven't checked out their poses, it is a must. I went through them all and they are done so well I couldn't decide which one to work with first. I will be using their poses for a while, and absolutely love them! Put together with a new outfit from Nyte'N'Day, (new as of last week, separates) and the new flip-flops by Maitreya, looked like a sweet and cool outfit for the summer. The dock here is by BAZAR and, while I haven't gotten a chance to test it out with anyone yet, it looks fabulous! I could easily curl up here and day dream my summer away....

There was a mini-expansion in EQ2 a couple of days ago that left me in PvP heaven, so I didn't have a lot of time to work on my inventory. I did manage to unpack and locate a few great pieces, even better when paired up with others that were already lingering, unused, in my inventory. My favorite pieces from this is the belt from Tuli and the scarves from fairy tail. Absolute essentials, don't you think? The scarves came from one of the gumball machines at the GATCHA event. The pants are a pair of really really old jeans by Nyte N Day, and a piece I put on just to show people that old items are not out of date or just plain out useless. There are still some fabulousness left in them, and I love using them with the new items like the sweater from Mischief and the top by PACADI. We all know where the shoes are from by now, right? Say it with me...Shiny Things. Oh I heart thee.

Nothing else much to update today, I know imagine that...a blog post where I don't ramble for too long! Heading out to handle errands and get a lil man a haircut, I need to see his adorable face again. Will be meeting up with Kerra for lunch and then a bit of shopping, always the best time with her! Just finished up a great 'weekend' with Sands and that massive PvPing. From gear to titles to achievements and a ton of laughter, its been an awesome couple of days. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend coming up. I will have a couple more posts, of course, as I tackle that inventory again. Someone...save me?

Things are completely too busy today to do any sort of long blog post, I know aww shame such disappointment huh! I went and revisted one of my old time favorite stores this morning. Besides Mischief, Nyte N Day has been in my inventory since just about day one of my SL time. I remember their sim that they shared long ago with other, now huge, stores. Never failing to please, I picked up a few things and decided this simple but elegant look would be perfect for todays look of the day.

Back to my grind in EQ2 and spending an amazing 'weekend' with Sands. Snuck this post in while he was chatting about tanking and other things I happily remain clueless on! Just point me in the right direction so I can keel it!! I hope everyone is having a fabulous hump day, and that your week ends wonderfully. See you in something else tomorrow!

Grand Illusion...
...behind the mask!

Grand Illusion, to me, is a great many things. A place to share my adventures within the grandest illusion I know, Second Life. Exploration, friends and loved ones and best of all, fashion and the addiction that is, shopping! I often spend most of my time in SL working these days, but I still find time for the fashion, for decorating and landscaping and the pure obsessive nature of it all.
