I Wish This was our Roarin’ 20s

So, my mom and I finally watched Downton Abbey and I admit I liked it. Really great program with great characters and storylines. So when I saw this new dress from Tres Blah of course my mind went immediately to the Roarin’ 20s and the amazing dresses and fashions that had at that time. Not that I can imagine Lady Mary wearing such a short piece but who knows, had it been presented she might have.

This dress is available in 13 colors each with a lace option. Panties and HUD are also included, they can also be hidden if you want to be a bit more naughty.

Sunshine in the Rain

The end of the rainbow, the sunshine in the rain, the happiness we find when our world is in chaos can be some of the most therapeutic we ever find. Just because we think the darkness is overwhelming there is a glimmer of hope in every dark day, you just have to find it.

Morning Coffee and Snuggles

Take time to enjoy the simple things in life, like morning coffee and snuggles with your pets or children. In this age of pandemic,

we tend to focus on the negative and not the positive. I’m going to tell you right now what I am thankful for.

1. I am not sick

2. My children are not sick

3. My mother is not sick

4. My grandson is not sick

5. My grandmother is not sick

Of course, this could change any day or time but for now, I am focusing on the fact that we are healthy, alive, and will make it through this nightmare we call life right now.

Morning Coffee and Snuggles 1024

Social distancing is easy in SL, I only go to my platform and shopping, I use to be a lot more social but my blog took over my life and now I’m afraid to venture out into the world again. I, like so many, have been hurt in SL and now I’m scared to try again. So I blog. At least I have amazing items like this outfit from Vinyl to blog. This brand new set is sold separately and is available at N°21 this month. Each piece is fit for Maitreya, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Hourglass, and Physique. The top comes in 18 colors with a HUD for the buttons in 7 colors. The pants are available in 18 colors as well and include a HUD for the belt with 7 options and 4 metals for the buttons and belt metals. It’s a super cute set and totally perfect for a comfy, early morning cup of coffee.

I wanted to check out this skin from Eudora Beauty available at Pale Girl Productions’ Skin Fair. This skin comes in all tones and I wish I could have afforded to buy them all, sadly I can’t but I can tell you what comes in each pack. This face is made for Lelutka Evo heads and includes 2 different shapes for Erin, but I used them with Lake and it looks pretty amazing to me. There is a brow shaper, a Lelutka applier, and two BoM layers; one with brows and one browless. Each tone sells for L$900. I also had to purchase the body appliers and there are two versions available; plain and freckled. When you purchase the body skin you get them all for only L$399. Each pack contains appliers for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Slink, and Omega. BoM layers are also included for each body. I think that’s a pretty great steal myself. Make sure you head over to the Skin Fair as this is the FINAL weekend for another year.

The drawer chest and armoire are from The Devon Collection. This set includes the armoire with and without a hanging dress, the chest of drawers, and a nightstand. There is a texture change in all pieces to choose between cream and dove gray. The dress has two hangers and 9 dress colors. It’s a lovely set. The top of my dresser seemed a bit bare so I added some tulips to give myself a bit more of spring vibe. These flowers come in 14 flower varieties and include a texture change inside the pitcher with 13 color/pattern options.

Simple Pleasures

When I was younger there was nothing better than the first snowfall of winter. We’d suit up in our coats, snow pants, boots, gloves, hats, and scarves and head outside to see how many snowflakes we could catch. It’s amazing how things change as you get older, now the first snowfall means idiot drivers on the road that don’t know how to travel in these conditions, shoveling walks and driveways, and just being plain old miserable. I’m not a snow sports fan, so the winter is just an arduous 6 months to me, and living in Idaho it really does feel like 6 months sometimes. I would love nothing more to move to a place that never sees snow, it’s a dream I have and someday will fulfill.

At least in SL my creators make me look good. ChicModa released this amazing sweater and bustier set for FaMESHed and I just love it! You can wear them together or separately, although that makes the sweater a tiny bit naughtier. This set includes 12 colors to choose from for each and is sold separately. The HUD for the single pack bustier includes a metals and strap toggle only, the fatpack includes all colors, changeable straps plus toggle, wiring, and metals. This set is really fantastic and could create so many unique outfits. This set is fit for Maitreya, Legacy, and Hourglass only.

I paired this top set up with a brand new pair of snowboarding pants from Vinyl. Snowboard pants from Vinyl have some amazing memories for me. Back in 2015 Vinyl participated in an event called Gen-Neutral. She released her first snowboard pants during this event and I had to have them. There was an issue with the HUD and I had to contact her. What I got was one of the sweetest people I have ever met on the other end. She fixed the issue and sent me the fatpack (although I’d already bought it) for my trouble with them. In the 4 years since that time I have become a friend and unofficial blogger for her and her skills and creations just blow me out of the water. This set of pants is fit for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, and Physique. There are boots available as well to fit with these. Each includes massive HUDs in the fatpack.

S’Mores Please

What do you think of when you think of autumn nights? Well, when I was a kid it meant hanging out at our friend’s house, a huge bonfire roaring in the background, and s’mores galore. My childhood was pretty good and then the Navy was pulled out of Idaho Falls, those friends moved to the east coast, their parents divorced, and never again did we have bonfire s’ mores.

I paired this outfit up with a pose from Luane’s World, available at this pop up round Autumn Pose Fair. This set includes one pose with mirror and props. The leaves were super shiny when I first turned on my advanced lighting, and if you’re familiar with object editing you can go in and remove the shiny texture in the texture menu. Other than that this pose is fabulous.

For my background, I chose this S’mores station from What Next, released previously and available at the main store and MP locations. This set includes the bench, wood box with blankets, table, kettle, and mugs in either red or cream. The lantern is color change, and the s’mores plate, cocoa, and marshmallow sticks give you items with built-in bento poses. This set is really great for your autumn get together.
