Wishing everyone from the States a Happy 4th!! I think I rambled a lot yesterday, and today my ramble would be absolutely insane chatter about nothing at all so...I hope everyone has a fabulous day!! I snuck over and took this fast pic with my bestie Kis because she was too short to reach both arms to either side of the flag and hold it up. Shortpeopleproblems. She also posted the pic and her style credits so see them below!!

Love to you all!

Honestly, I may never ever take this dress or skin off. Izzie's Delusional skin and Anne dress have capture my soft, prissy heart and I have been wearing it all for a couple of days now. The skin is absolutely taking a spot in my favorites folder. The lips, look at them! Oh the kissable sweet lips! I've taken shots of all of the lips as well as the eye shadows, which I *did* wear with additional lashes NOT INCLUDED with the skin. Sorry about that! The final shot here shows the skin with the body/face freckles, which I love as well. If you haven't gotten down to the Skin Showcase, you need to! There are so many amazing skins like this one, you won't regret the trip.

Oh, and just for my bestie, look at that...I finally got around to another blog! 2 down and 2 to go, wonder if I will get it all done before the end of the month. I swear, you should be a better influence on me than this! Just saying....I caught her on my beach using it for pics, decided to snap this shot. I loved it so much I had to share! Find the details here.

I finally got myself off to Culture Shock and first, I have to say, I love the way this was set up. I love being able to start at one point and just walk walk walk and end up at the same point, having hit every stand without having to back track and go along another line of shops. It was absolutely fantastic! I also am one of those people that wait until the last week because I like to shop without lag, and I got some amazing pieces!

I tossed together this look with a few of my favorites. Lisp had this adorable stack of suitcases that I could not resist, another moment where I didn't even try! They fit in perfectly in this corner of my home. I also held no resistance for the boots by Ingenue. House of Fox has this fabulous Mesh skirt out, though it was a bit higher than I thought it would be it is still an amazing piece. I've always loved the style and with it moving with me as I walk, I'm in mesh heaven! The top was part of an outfit by Echo. Now, the hair I didn't get at Culture Shock, but Wasabi was there so I figured it would at least tie in. Yea, I cheated a bit there. I have an adorable necklace on from Caroline's Jewelry and, much to the shock of those around me, I picked up a tan skin from Pink Fuel. Last, but not least, I picked up a pose pack by Atooly. They are adorable, and I can't wait to use the rest of them for future bloggage.

Whew!! Everyone had such great stands at Culture Shock, I got so many great things and a lot of the exclusive pieces too. There are so many fun events going on, I can't wait to get to work on the next set of blogs I have pieces for already. See you on the grid!

In all honestly, I think I am longing for lazy days, but not at all having any! I've been wanting to blog the last few days but just haven't really had the time with so much going on at work. Staff changes, a massive project I just haven't been able to get done (sim builds that simply are not going to get done on time, doh), then there was Mothers Day where I couldn't stay sat at the pc all day! However, I managed to toss this together...finally.

The dress is from The Sea Hole (collabor88 item as well as the hammock) and the hammock is by Cheeky Pea. I absolutely love these items, even though I didn't pick up much at the event this time. The skin is Illusory with some makeup by Izzies and A.E. Meth. Standing pose by Fri.Day (wow, I still haven't cleaned up from pose fair, my inventory hates me right now lol) and one of my favorite hairs by Wasabi.

Oh lazy days better be coming soon! Things in other areas of life are settling down to where they are supposed to be. My stress has been slipping away and my friendship/relationships are falling into place. Its nice to be going to bed with a smile, instead of worry and anxiety, and then waking with the same smile in place. It can only get better from here.

This entire post is Kismet's fault. Just quietly playing greedy, and bam, a link to a picture of this dress. We both oo and aah and figure out when its coming out, then I get to be the lucky one to snag the pics and blog it. I absolutely love it. Its a bit unusual that the belt doesn't come with the dress, its a separate purchase, and pretty much essential to the look of the dress. However, I adore it so much I didn't even blink when I bought it.

Thanks to my wench for coming over and standing all over my furniture for pics! Muwah!

In the day In the night
Say it right Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan
I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight
From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you
Another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you
A place God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

Just a quickie today, quickies are good! Mesh dress by coldLogic, oh coldLogic, how I love you. I'm not shy to admit I end up fat packing almost everything they release. I love everything about this dress, including the fact that it lets me neglect accessories because its a fabulous piece all on its own. I fully admit, I am still completely slack when it comes to accessories, still...working on that.

Working on a lot.....

It's been such a long time since I planned out a longer blog entry. I used to be able to do this a lot faster, I swear. Last night I went and wandered around the FFL (additionally sponsored by the estate I work for, Dream Seeker Estates, small plug over) and really didn't want to fill my inventory with a million things this time. I have a bad habit of that, buy tons of things and let them sit in my inventory collecting dust and upping my inventory count. I was given a note with some points of interest and the one that caught my eye the most was, as you can see, Angelwing.

The three dresses seen here had me completely infatuated and simply had to join the countless items in my inventory. I couldn't pick one, and as a donation I didn't even try, I bought them all. Then came the decision of which to take a picture in, again, why do I always thrust myself into these horrible choices? Forget it, lets take pictures in them all. Oh wait...but where?

I went searching on the destination guide through the second life site and was really excited to see all the amazing places to take pictures. I think I will use this list a bit more often, and the Humanoid sim was absolutely perfect for the pictures I wanted to take. I hit a few doors, took a few shots, but honestly could of stayed there forever.
