‘Cause, darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream

OBSESSED.

Entirely obsessed with the newest Taylor Swift song/music video.

I mean…Zeus, strike me down now, it’s stuck in my head.

So this post isn’t so much budget as it is “I want to be T Swift look at how pretty she is”.

Oh well.

Junbug makes me feel like a princess.

And how I love her for it.

Seriously.

I have a tiara addiction in Second Life. I really do. An entire folder dedicated to tiaras and crowns. And there are many.

SO. Junbug also has gachas by the plenty and at the point of publication, they are all set at 30L (AND they are all fabulous). I was able to get the corset, ruffles, and skirt from one as well as the crown from another.

The picture was taken at Valhal because…well…there’s a castle here! And a princess for sure needs a castle and some pretty grounds going on.

And I’m back!

So that was a heck of a long break, eh? Whoops! My bad.

WELP, let’s get right back into it!

Well, one of my favorite stores is having another one of their cool hunts! Ricielli is closing their current store to make way for a new one, so this hunt is to say goodbye to the old store! And so I went and picked up a few of the items!

I took the pictures at the lovely Rainy Alley (which has a great sort of feel to it) and I so recommend visiting it for your photographic needs!

And you see those necklaces? The newest group gift from Maxi Gossamer! So generous and so pretty!

The pose used in the second photo is by pose shop Verocity and it is a part of the Orana poses that will be 50% off for the next round of Hello Tuesday on 10/20 (go visit Verocity. srsly).

And c’mon, Van Gogh paintings, hello. Don’t get much better than that!

SO. Check out Ricielli. Do the little hunt. Get some clothes. Explore a rainy alley.

Forever Autumn

So, here we are again, another week, another post.

This blog started out with this lovely scarf that I picked up from the Falling Into Autumn Hunt that is going on from September 22nd until October 21st. There are two colors included (technically I’m wearing the male scarf, but whatevs. Green looks awesome on me). The scarf is from Lutricias Luxuries and you are looking for a leaf (and it’s free).

Also: these boots. Holy doodle. I love them. As soon as I saw them at Collbor88, I knew I had to have them for the simple fact that they are probably the most perfect boots ever. Not too high or skinny of a heel, the strap detail around the back of the leg, even the height of it was just perfection. They’re a little pricey at 188L, but they are at Collabor88 (which means they’re discounted a fair bit from what they probably will end up being).

The jeans are another bargain from theWarehouse. Love that place for your wardrobe basics (tshirts, jeans, etc) and they were only 100L, and the jacket? That is one of the items from Ricielli’s birthday hunt (unsure if it is still going on) but I did previously blog the hunt.

Short post!

But it’s a good one!

Found this cute little shop called MoiMoi, and it’s got this wall of gifts! You don’t have to join a group (which is great, because man – I really need more than 42 group slots) and the quality is fantastic.

Each fat pack is 1L and look at what you get! Really awesome stuff, totally recommend it to my fabulous readers (even something for the dudes in the right-hand corner).

So…get up and go down there and enjoy!

Onwards towards Autumn

I prefer to call fall autumn. I dunno why. A fall is something that I do on a regular basis, and autumn is a fun word to spell. Who knows. So, to push my graphics card now that I’m officially back, I decided to find a sim that seemed very autumn-like (especially since we are midway through September – when did that happen?!) and I stumbled upon Small Town Green, created by Mido (Mido77077 Liotta). I want to stay there all the time now, it is beyond beautiful.

So while I was out of commission (or my computer was at the very least) I did a lot of browsing and shopping in the 0 to 10L range on the marketplace, and I found some fantastic things for free or supercheap. And I love a bargain!

The jeans are from a hunt at Ricielli for Vliet’s birthday, and were 15L for a pack containing 6 different colors. I’ve many pairs of Ricielli jeans and I love them so! There’s a total of 20 balloons and they contain the following prizes:

I picked up most of them. Love it!

The shirt is from House Of Nettles on the Marketplace, they’ve got all kinds of goodies there. I’m wearing the Layerd sweater in blue/grey. The fit is great, and it is mesh and comes in 3 sizes. There are different colors of it in the online store as well, if blue/grey isn’t your thing, and? It’s only 1L.

And, finally, the bag is from Sunberry Co., and I love it. It is the Travel Tote bag and has goodies peaking out of the top of it. Very much the cuteness and totally worth getting, especially at 0L! It comes in two colors so it’ll go with a plethora of outfits.

Back!

My RAM arrived today and so far so good! I’ve got SO much to show you all, especially some freebies/cheapies from the Marketplace (I could only browse the web and watch stuff on Youtube – Alton Brown has some GREAT recipes).

I can’t wait to show you all soon!

Small break!

So. My RAM is mostly derped out, so I cannot log into visual SL. New RAM has been ordered, and hopefully it will arrive ASAP. I really, really hope it does.

And then we’ll be back to your regularly scheduled me 😀

Vintage Yumminess

So. I love vintage. And I mean love. Especially in SL and especially when it’s done as beautifully as Ingenue by Betty Doyle. I’ve been a fan of hers for a few years now, and she just gets better and better, and has made the transition to mesh in some of her clothing. The textures are A++ and everything just fits like a dream, mesh & system.

Now. This swimsuit isn’t on some kind of super sale or anything, but the prices at Ingenue are more than fair for the quality that you receive. This is, probably, one of my most favorite swimsuits everrr.

And lookit that ruffle on the backside! Eee! So freaking cute I could die.
