Ho, Ho, Ho! MoDanna Style :)

You know I had to do it, right?? lolz!!! I guess Santa got more than just milk n' cookies ........

This sweater.. perfection :) Totally made me giggle with its double entendre ... and actually I loved how it fit perfectly too! It has a nice lose fit but also conforms to the curves of the body so it doesn't look so baggy that it has no shape. I've always loved MoDanna's texturing on their clothes, always done with quality and attention to detail, and this does not disappoint.

Sweater: MoDanna for the All I Want for Christmas Hunt.. a free hunt that runs from Dec 1st to the 31st :) @ MoDanna's main store

hair: Lelutka, Canto

skin: Al Vulo, Lyala sunkissed

eyes: IKON, Ardent eyes, skyfall

hands: Slink

thigh high socks: Izzie's 

Serenity Style

The sweet simplicity and lovely details of Serenity Style items really drew me to them, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself decorating my little attic house for Christmas. One of the my favorite items was the sweet little shelf with the scarf, photo frame and precious little boxes.  All items are mesh and will complement pretty much any decor.

The reindeer, trees, little car and photo frames as well as the pink hanging star are all Gacha items for the Frozzen Fair (Here is the link to the event website so you can check out when it will be open  Frozzen Fair ) Here is the LM, but it will not be open until December 1st!

 The shelf can be located @ Feeb's Rascals WINTER MARKET event that started on November 21st  and runs until January 1st. And, as a bonus, there are gifts scattered at various vendor stalls from 0 to 1L too!

See you around the grid!

Who doesn't love a sale? I know I do! Black Friday sales are in full swing now, and if you are a member of the Skin Addiction group (free to join) you can take advantage of very reduced prices on some really lovely skins. Lumae is participating, and she also set out this lovely new skin from the Star series at a very special low price for you to try. 

And, another reason to love Fridays is Fi*Fridays.. a fashion event where everything is 55L for the duration of the even, and there are some really outstanding creations, from shoes, to jewelry, to clothes and skins, hair and tats.. pretty much anything you could want :) Its my personal little indulgence on Fridays and I always manage to find something I love there.

Thankful

Since we are celebrating Thanksgiving here in the US, it twas fitting that I do a post on being thankful and appreciating the things you have. I am lucky that I blog for some really lovely creators who put a lot of effort into their work. I am grateful that I am able to use my platform of doing pictures in SL to not only show their work, but also express my own creativity. I've always said, with out the creations, the clothes, the hair, the skins, the shoes, etc, etc.. my avatar would be not much to look at.

SL is an amazing platform for creativity, but also for bullies and bad manners, and for taking for granted others and what work they do. Cyberspace,  I think, sometimes sucks the braincells out of otherwise well mannered people and deletes their "be nice" filters. I am appalled at some of the stuff I've heard, both in group chats and from people in general. In this coming holiday season, we need a little dose of kindness and gratefulness...

So, THANK YOU to the awesome creators who let me blog their work. <3 I am grateful for all the work you put into your creations, and for being able to showcase it in my photos.

only time...

"Who can say when the roads meet,

That love might be,

In your heart.

And who can say when the day sleeps,

If the night keeps all your heart?

Night keeps all your heart...

Who can say if your love grows,

As your heart chose?

Only time...

And who can say where the road goes,

Where the day flows?

Only time..."

Enya, Only Time

Hear the call of our ancestors of blood and bone,

the dying of the light

Fall.. time for falling leaves, brilliant oranges and yellows and chilly nights made for snuggling with that special person and holding mugs of hot cocoa as you watch the sun set. I love the changing of the seasons, and I especially like the darkening of the months, as I call it, when Mother Nature retreats to her dark cave, covers the land in silent snow and chill, and the Earth sleeps... until the Darkest Night.. ironically in Christian tradition, just a few days before Christmas. Sadly, in modern society there are fewer and fewer people that actually are in tune with the seasons, as we live in a society that can get anything they want 24/7, we miss out o the richness and uniqueness of each season.  I say raise that mug of hot cocoa and salute the dying of the light.. go outside and step on crunchy leaves, taste the chill in the air and snuggle up in a cozy sweater.  <3

And, now for the fashion...
