Just kind of a casual day Sunday for me, so I'll just pass on a couple of freebies to you.

I want to mention Jeannie's Jewels. My friend Jeannie makes a lot of jewelry which she sells really, really inexpensively, and her store is filled with freebies. Please go check it out! And if you're in a Tiny Empires kingdom, she just made a tiara that you can color change everything on! She also just made a ring that works with the Slink hands...it's very cool. The earrings I'm wearing were made by her and are free at the store. They come with a necklace which is not shown here.

The outfit I'm wearing is called Pussy Romper by Somnia. It was an advent gift at Kitty Cats. I thought it was really cute, and it comes with nine colors.

The lip gloss I'm wearing is a free tester at M.O.C.K. Cosmetics called Lucir LipColor Venom. M.O.C.K. is one of my new favorite cosmetics stores. Lipsticks are sold separately which I love and the prices are very easy on the wallet.

That's it for today!

The other night, I was out ice skating at Calas Galadhon, who has their entire park beautifully made over for the holidays. As I usually do, I was camming around to see what was going on when I spotted an absolutely gorgeous dress. I promptly IM'd the woman wearing it and asked where I could buy it. Yes, I could have inspected it, but remember, I've been gone a year and these things don't always occur to me ;)

Anyway, it turns out that the wearer of the dress was also the creator, Maizon Rayna - owner of Terra d'ombrA, and the dress was her new creation, Isabelle. After spending 10 minutes gushing at poor Maizon (I've always thought she was one of the most brilliant designers in SL), I HAD to have it. It took Maizon a couple of days to announce Isabelle's release, but the moment she did, I was right there buying it. At $L650, it's a little higher than my normal spending allowance, but so be it!

If you haven't been to Terra d'ombrA, go. Maizon has created some stunning works over the years. Maizon is Italian and it shows in her styling.

Was not feeling on top of my game yesterday, as evidenced by my somewhat casual appearance while Christmas shopping. Needed something soft and comfy, yet stylish, and this new outfit, Stubborn Love, by LivGlam fit the bill.

Yes, I know that I'm a fashion blogger, but sometimes I break out and do something different. Today, I want to share my Christmas tree.

When I was looking for a tree, it was very important to me that it look nice yet be very low prim. Living in a Linden home with only 117 prims available can sometimes be annoying, but I've managed to do pretty well with it. This cute tree is only 8 prims!

So, a friend had this tree and that was it for me! I ran off to Alyxen Designs and promptly bought it. At $L399, it was a little more than I had wanted to pay for a tree, but in the end, felt it was worth it. There are three other varieties there too. It's also copy/mod, so you can make it fit where you need it to!

If you're still looking, drop in, Alyxen will appreciate it!

Bored, so you get a second posting from me today!

In 2012, I had discovered Ever An' Angel. They were my introduction to mesh clothing and I spent a more than a few Lindens there on several outfits that I loved.

I have a ball to attend next week so ballgowns have been on my mind. I had some pretty specific requirements for a gown: strapless yet modest, had to move well, and had to be reasonably priced as my budget is pretty tight these days.

I had received the gorgeous Siochain gown as a POE hunt gift from Ever An' Angel, but it was ice blue and I had burgundy in mind. I walked around the store drooling for a few minutes, and finally settled on Paparazzi. I'm a bird fanatic and this strapless gown has beautiful bird detailing on the skirt. I've inserted a separate shot of the back of the gown as well.

I especially like that this gown has an itty bitty waistline to it. I'm still struggling to lose 5 pounds after Thanksgiving and this gown just cinched my waist in - voila!

Paparazzi is priced at a reasonable L$500.

Ahhh, mesh. That which has given depth and shadows and true texture to our second lives. It's certainly made decorating my SL home a lot better - 114 prims to fully decorate a Linden home. Of course, I have to go to a sandbox to open bags that are more than 3 prims, but that's okay. That will change after my Christmas tree comes down!

Even better to a fashionista is that mesh has made clothing far more interesting. A little harder in same cases, as you hope that the designer has used "standard sizing" and the medium by one designer will fit you the same as a medium by another designer, and adding rather than wearing, but I'm learning.

One of my designer discoveries has been LivGlam. These girls obviously enjoy their work...a lot. They're currently part of the Finesmith Murder Mystery event, which runs until December 8. There's still time to get in on it. Each object will be for sale for 10L. The object will then give you that designer's gift, eliminate one of the suspects (check the texture for the list of suspects), and give you an idea of the next suspect you will encounter. The start of the hunt is here at Finesmith's.

One of LivGlam's releases during this event has been the cute dress I'm wearing here called "Glad to be Unhappy". Red and black are my power colors, so this dress spoke to me. A little sassy, definitely sexy, and very definitely "me". It also works well with a pair of black leggings under it. You can pick it up here, along with other releases during this hunt. Glad to be Unhappy sells for a modest L$199.

I've been in Second Life since June 16, 2007. I loved it passionately from the moment I arrived and never thought I'd leave it. I was positive that I'd be immune from the "5 year itch". Yet when that 5th rez day hit...I was done. I wanted out. I was tired of SL, tired of the people, tired of everything. I managed to hang on for a few more months, but then I broke. Completely. I left SL for over a year.

Now I'm back again and my, how the world has changed! Mesh is the big rage and was barely a blip on the grid when I left — and speaking of big, Lola's and Phat Azz...wow!

Clothing has always been my passion in SL and now that mesh is making everything more realistic, that passion is on fire! I promptly went through my wardrobe and gave away or threw away about 6,000 items since they just looked so 2009. I have no doubt that I'll build that back up in no time :)

Since it's really cold outside where I live today, I decided that a sweater would do the trick, so I dug out Gillian, the hunt gift from Felicia's Fashions. It looked so snug and warm that I headed straight to the prettiest winter sim I've seen yet, Winter Rock Festival 2013. If you haven't visited, be sure to take the tram and get the full view of the sim.

Gillian comes complete with the sweater, leggings, hat, mittens and boots. There's nice attention to detail on this one. I've always believed that hunts are a great way to discover new designers, and Felicia's is going to get a second look from me because of how well put together her gift was.

Felicia's Fashions is #155 on the Peace on Earth Hunt.
