I'm back!

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. I am doing fantastic. I just graduated college, which is super exciting. I've decided to start blogging again because I just can't help myself. I can't guarantee it will be everyday like before but at least one a week, hopefully.




So far in my observations, I've seen a lot of really beautiful mesh clothing. I don't think mesh will ever replace everything else for me but it's always great to have more options. Mesh allows a level of detail that you cannot get with regular clothing layers. And of course it allows the clothing to move with your avatar. I can't wait to try more. I have also been determined to learn how to make mesh. It's been incredibly challenging so far but I haven't given up yet.

I am really in love with these cashmere sweaters I made. I love the texture of them and you can never have to many cute sweaters :)

Hogwarts: Your Story

I'm not really into role playing but I love watching people get so excited about something. There is a whole sim dedicated to Hogwarts role playing.

Starting today, the sim will be open for preview for this week. They are still in the process of building. They are also using the courtyard this week for designers to sell Hogwarts related clothing and accessories. If you're interested in joining the fun, you have to fill out an application. My advice is for you to join the "Hogwarts: Your Story" group inworld and check the notices for information.

And even if you're not interested, it might be fun to visit and see what everyone's been up to!

tropical

Lately I've been trying to revisit my fri.day hair collection. There are some really great styles from fri.day that I forgot about.

This weekend I released a few things for the opening of Boom's new store. There are also 4 freebies hidden throughout the store. They are really not hard to find. :) Just look for ice cream bars!

I found this sweater in the men's department at Aoharu! It was easily re-sizable to fit my female avatar.

Photography Addicted

I had every intention of organizing my inventory while I stood chatting with my friend Poppy. But then I started trying to find the best shot. I asked her if I could have object permissions so I could sneak a pic of us. At first I just wanted to get a nice candid shot but then I decided to do a portrait too.



We are both wearing stuff from the platinum hunt. And don't forget cuz there is only one more day to get this jewelry set for 75L at boom.

Platinum Hunt 2011

Get ready for the platinum hunt, starting today at 4pm SLT! Free items from 102 of SL's best stores.

When I starting putting this look together I took a more formal approach but then I decided to dress it down with a jean jacket and loose ponytail. This dress from paper.doll is obviously great for both options :)

Normally I would wait until morning to post this. But wth, I love this outfit so much.. I couldn't wait to share!

I didn't do very much editing to these. Just smoothed out some edges and stuff.

something different

I built my outfit around this cute vive9 shirt I found at the fashionably late event. I like the "tucked in" look lately because it's something different.

that's messed up!

Zaara released more denim! all of her textures are hand-drawn and the butt is as equally cute as the front, which is important to me. lol.

The sculpt and texture of this elephant bag are so perfect. I am envious how talented some people are.

I've seen this hair all over flickr ever since the hair fair, which I have to say... I never made it to (oh well) It was one of my favorites just because I haven't seen a messy hairstyle like it anywhere else.

another week of Fashionably Late is upon us. You can find this top there as well as a variety of stuff from lots of amazing designers.

I'm in a picture taking mood again. Only this time I wanted something a little more scenic. I always check Avatars in Motion for the best locations.
