Sweater Weather with Tastic, ViSion & Pr!tty

 With Christmas winding down, New Years on its way, and fresh snow falling, I just love to curl up next to my fireplace to warm my hands at night. In a cozy sweater and my comfiest leggings and a nice pair of warm chunky socks, is pretty much what I have looked like for the last few months.

Christmas treated us all so well. Did you visit the Shop & Hop? There was so many amazing participants, and amazing gifts! One of which was these free tights from ViSion. These leggings come with a texture change HUD offering 30 colors!!!! They are literally perfect for just about every outfit. Pop by the Shop & Hop here before January 3rd to make sure you get yours before it disappears. Cool Fact: You don't even have to be a part of the group! Grab your taxi right here!

Another Christmas treat was Tastic giving all us lovely 500L gift card. I picked up this cozy sweater and these killer boots. The sweater has 16 pattern options in a variety of colors. The boots come with 3 lace colors, 7 sock colors and 10 boot colors! TAXI PLEASE!

Next let's talk hair, I am always in the market to try somewhere new for hair and this one was just grand! Even grander, right now its available for free to group members (currently no join fee!), alongside several other great hairs and hair pieces. It definitely is oh so pretty. These well textured hair fatpacks come with an easy to use HUD with a great variety of color tones. When you have a second please take a look at her awesome little store, take the limo when your ready.

Dark Past with a touch of Salt & Pepper

Once in a while I get back into that dark funk that I love so much, and these pants just brought me back perfectly. And I can thank Salt & Pepper for these awesome pants. They also participated in the Linden GC Christmas Craze. Check out their Marketplace store here.

Well textured, the lace detail on the legs is a great touch. Metal, laces and lace color options (with HUD), makes these pants easily able to move from one look to another. Think white lace and a nice white lace crop for a more summery vibe.

 I am so excited, I was going to take a break till the New Year but I couldn't wait. Did you get your hands on many goodies over Christmas?

One amazing shop that gave out one of the free 500L giftcard was {ViSion}. And let's just say, these textures are AMAZING! I can not wait to visit their store again, as not only the item below is of impeccable quality. They have so many amazing pieces to be mixed and matched to make some fabulous styles. Please take a second to check out their marketplace store here, and grab yourself a taxi!

I cannot recommend this set enough. The detail is impeccable. The fine touches are perfect. Makes your ass look great. It fits your body like a glove. 

The release, Taylor, comes with some with leather boots, leather pants and the top (which can be worn with or without the sleeves) and can all be purchased individually. The top is available as seen and with a patterned option.

It is available in a multitude of colors, with a very convenient single color HUD (when purchasing singles) to edit the hardware on the pants, or the laces on the boots.

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year

 

Just wanted to do a quick post wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a joyous New Year. I have two little babies, a mountain a toys and a crazy day planned. Fun fact, my daughter thinks she's picasso and painted her ENTIRE room with sudocream (diaper cream). Ever had that happen? Literally took 45 minutes just to get it out of her hair, let alone the room. Merry Christmas to me, thanks baby girl *facepalm*.

I figured I would share with you one last advent calendar goodie post. The jewelry above is Chop Zuey. Another gorgeous set with earrings, necklace and two bracelets. This set comes with a color change HUD making it a great addition to your styling closet. With both gold and silver metals and a variety of jewel colorings, I am sure you will find amazing use of this well after Christmas is said and done.

And next, the stunning dress that I am wearing is from Celestina's.  This beautiful gown is one of many she has available to you this Christmas. I believe past dates may be purchased for a steal of 25L Honestly the texture quality and fit were so great. Its such a simple yet stunning piece that it can be styled so many ways and if you do one, comment below I would love to see it.

Welcoming Myself Back! ft. LeLutka & Chop Zuey

 Well what a crazy year 2020 has been. Life has been so crazy for me. Over the last few years, I have married, had two beautiful children and have found time to now return to my true passion of fashion  in blogging the things I love. I cannot commit to a schedule (with two kids under 4) but I would love to share some of the things I love best.

When returning, I learned all about the new tech and had so much fun working out all the new tools available to us. A huge thank you to the women who has always been my Second Life mamma, Ava Jhamin and L'Amour Model Management. That family is the best you could ever have.

Christmas is a great time of year in Second Life. Before my first style back, I had to make some changes and updates. I am now using a Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, and a mesh head! Which honestly blew my mind. I never even considered it a possibility and all their functions were amazing. It really expands what you can do, not to mention they are beautiful.

So that brings me to today, I wanted to share two amazing Christmas Gifts being offered in world. The first I would like to mention is a brand near and dear to my heart. A brand I loved many years ago, and its safe to say their designs are still the best, their quality is to die for and their generosity at Christmas still impeccable: Chop Zuey. Like years past, they have a magnificent advent calendar for both male and female characters for 12 days. Don't stress if you have missed some as you can easily collect the past days before the calendar is taken down.

I used one of this years advent gifts to help style  really simple everyday look that really speaks true to my character and style. Speaking of my style, I wanted to bring in the next free gift you can get this year: LeLutka Lilly Mesh Head. Amazing right? This new head is yours free this Christmas season. My biggest fear when taking the leap to a mesh head was loosing my look. I had read how a mesh head can be hard to replicate what I had with my system head. But I can honestly say, I still love it. I was able to keep my look so that I still look like me. Its got gorgeous textures, a very user friendly HUD, all the add-ons you could hope for and a great support community. Please see the LeLutka website, here, for their instruction manual.

So I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. You will see more of me in the New Year and I cannot wait to share.
