Don't Over Steep the Leaves

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope this week has been wonderful for all. I want to keep this week's post kinda short and sweet, so I am only going to discuss briefly two events.

Outfit: COCO Cardigan Over Shoulder and Gifted V-Neck Dress @FaMESHed, Hair: Wasabi Pills Marissa @FaMESHed, Rings: Izzie's Spring Midi Rings Gold @Uber, Shoes: Fri.day Cora Heels in Sailor, Earrings: Zoom Marine Earrings @FaMESHed as gift, Clutch: Zaara Patchwork Clutch in indigo, Skin: Glam Affair December II, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

FaMESHed opened at the very beginning of the month, and this is the birthday round. LOTS of free gifts to group members, so be sure to wear your group tag and click on the little present bags. My two favorite buys for this round are COCO's over the shoulder sweater and Wasabi Pills' fun braided hair. The sweater I had to buy has these fun navy stripes. This sweater just reminds me of country clubs, and sailing tourneys. The dress I am wearing in the picture is the FREE gift for the event by COCO. You can buy separate colors, or get the white one free! Be sure to JOIN the group.

Outfit: Moon Amore Wild&Free Top and Skirt @Collabor88, Hair: Besom Sable @Hairology, Rings: Izzie's Spring Midi Rings Gold @Uber and Schadenfreude Waits Set I'll Shoot the Moon @Collabor88, Necklace: Pekka Third Eye Necklace, Nose Ring: Yummy Diamond Flower Nose Ring, Bracelet: Zaara Goa Party Friendship Bracelets, Earrings: Zaara Sarika Feathers, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Freckles: Stellar Rainbow Freckles, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Collabor88 opened last Sunday with the theme Americana. I am not very familiar with Americana, but to me it seems very bohemian and very relaxed. I ADORE this outfit by Moon Amore. The pieces come with a color changer hud, and I really like this printed skirt. There are these cute elephants on it, and to me it just adds so much. I decided while putting this outfit together I needed to go brunette because blonde just was too preppy looking. It didn't look natural enough. There are a lot of other fun items, and I would highly recommend going to the Seraphim shopping guide to help you plan and budget.

Last but not least, the winner for the Give-Away from my Anniversary Post is KhateraSara! Congratulations KhateraSara!!!! I will be messaging you inworld and sending you your cards ASAP. Thanks for commenting everyone. I appreciate all of you. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Much love! XOXO

White Tea to Soothe the Soul

Happy Sunday everyone! It has been a long and stressful week for me crazy work issues. I had some crazy hours at work and I hardly logged on during the week. I was able to log on long enough to get some pictures and this post done! I hope you enjoy.

FaMESHed opened New Year's Day, and it took me FOREVER to teleport in! And what drove me crazy was one of my friends and my sister were able to teleport in relatively easy....at least easier than me. There is only one thing I wanted from FaMESHed--a gown by Just Because called Maya. The gown is very elegant, yet provocative at the same time. There is a deep cut in the cleavage (like really deep...like goes down to the belly button), and there is a long slit on the thigh. The broach comes with a color change hud. It took me a while to style the Maya, and the necklace I choose to pair with the dress is by Maxi Gossamer. The necklace has a long gorgeous back, so it doesn't distract in the front of the gown.

Gown: Just Because Maya @FaMESHed, Hair: Elikatira Karee, Earrings: Maxi Gossamer Ananya White Pearls, Necklace: Maxi Gossamer Tiffany Back, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Shoe: Poute Victoria High Heels, Skin: Glam Affair Caroline New Day, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Whaver Fang Mesh Teeth, Slink Hands and Feet

There are also come cute boots which are compatible with jeans by Reign at this round, and there is also a cute dress by NYU. I like both the boots and the dress paired together. I didn't photograph them for two reasons: (1) my favorite item is Maya, and (2) I did not have enough time to take another picture.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week this week! Stay safe and have fun! Hugs and Smooches Tea Readers~

Chai Karak to Stay Calm

Hey Tea Readers! I know this week's post is early, but I have a crazy weekend planned--my best friend is getting married and since I am the wedding planner, well....I have my hands full. I have recently been trying to keep my posts short and sweet, so hopefully this week's post keeps with the others.

Outfit: Baiastice Cara Dress in Sheer @FaMESHed, Hair: NEW Truth Morgana, Lipstick: Glam Affair Romy Goddess, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands

FaMESHed opened on Sunday for November, and I didn't go crazy, but I did buy two cute outfits! Baiastice has a really pretty, almost period type, dress which I LOVE! The dress comes in two different versions, sheer and non-sheer. I prefer the sheer version, but I have long hair in the front covering my breasts, so no flashing from me. I like a bit of an edge and I feel the sheer does give it a bit of an edge.

The other outfit is by Rebel Hope, and it is a cardigan/shirt and skirt combo. You pick your pieces and thankfully the cardigan comes with a hud to change the shirt textures so you can add come color to go with your accessories. I love the red/white color combination, so guess which combo I purchased? Red and White. Which is kind of funny because the wedding this weekend, it's color is navy and white.

Outfit: Rebel Hope Katina Mesh Skirt and Sonoma Mesh Cardigan @FaMESHed, Hair: NEW Truth Morgana, Shoes: Fri.day Marsali Flats, Necklaces: Maxi Gossamer Heart and Skull Jewelled, Ring: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring, Nose Ring: Yummy Diamond Flower, Lipstick: Glam Affair Romy Goddess, Skin: Glam Affair Katra Ballerina, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

I hope everyone has a wonderful week and weekend! Send out positive thoughts for my bestie and for me. I am just hoping everything goes as smooth as possible and I will actually be able to enjoy the wedding and reception. Cheers~

Spiced Apple Rooibos to Fight the Autumn Chill

Happy Sunday Tea Readers! I have had a crazy fun weekend! I went with my sisters on Thursday night to a showing of The Addams Family. And on Friday and Saturday in the town my twin and I live in there was an Cultural Festival going on! So much fun had, and I hope everyone has had a great weekend like I have!

Outfit: Coquet Maritza @FaMESHed, Boots: Just Design Penny, Hair with Scarf: Clawtooth Snug as a Bug, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Triumph Eyes, Slink Hands, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, The Wicked Peach Rosy

When FaMESHed opened last week, I didn't go right away. I only ended up purchasing two items at this round, one dress by Baiastice and a cute coat/dress by Coquet. I LOVE the coat/dress by Coquet. It is so elegant and yet so versatile. Perfect for just about anything! Zenith has some fun heels with long socks. The shoes are cute, but the extra long socks aren't really my style. There is also a really pretty wedding ring set by Ariskea-- I really like the setting. It has three stones cut in teardrops. And you can buy the men's and woman's separately.

Dress: Baiastice Clya Dress @FaMESHed, Hair: NEW TRUTH Ryleigh, Rings: Ariskea Poetric Women Wedding Ring @FaMESHed and ieQED Persephone Ring Rose, Necklace: Tea.S Just a Rose, Bracelet: Aisiling Endora Bracelet, Shoes: Ingenue Ninette Heels Dogwood, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: IKON Charm and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

Sorry for such a short post! I have had a long and busy week and weekend. Please go check out FaMESHed, lots of other fun items out.

Oolong Tea with S'mores on Warm Summer Nights

Yay for Sundays! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! Today is the last day of my only "normal" weekend for the month, so I plan on enjoying myself as much as possible. The next few weekends I will be working extra days.

Outfit: COCO Denim Shirt and Lace Pencil Skirt @ShinyShabby, Hair: Tableau Vivant Whispers @TheFantasyCollective, Rings: Schadenfreude Fox Wee Beastie and Yummy Spring Garden, Nosering: Yummy Diamond Flower, Tattoo: Things Paziah, @TheFantasyCollective, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi JamaicaII @ShinyShabby, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Redgrave Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

The theme for Shiny Shabby this month is Country. I have recently mentioned in my post on Uber's Rustic theme country is not my thing. With my family's background you would think I would be a good ol' country girl... I am an oddity. Anyway, the theme is Country, and again, I curbed my spending and only bought a few things at Shiny Shabby. I bought a denim top and lace skirt by COCO, and I bought a long shirt/dress by Zenith. I think I like the outfit by COCO better, just because I love lace. The skirt is very nice and I know I will be able to pair it with multiple shirts and outfits. The denim top is nice, but I know I will the skirt will be the real versatile. You buy the shirt and skirt separate, so you can pick your colors (which is always awesome). The Zenith dress is long and I think my favorite detail is the small leather belt around the waist. There are some cute wicker-basket handbags to match, but I didn't feel like they were needed for the outfit. Just put on a cute hat and you are good to go for a day walking around town.

Bikini: Zaara Kasi @FaMESHed, Hair: Tableau Vivant Elvi @FaMESHed, Tattoo: Letis Diwali, Mesh Body Maitreya Lara, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth

FaMESHed opened on the first, and I was so surprised to see Zaara there!!! She has a new swimsuit out, and the prints are all fantastic. It was really hard for me to pick out one, and I think I will end up breaking down and buying the fatpack. So amazing. The suit comes in standard mesh sizes and one fitted for Maitreya's Lara Mesh Body. She has also updated past mesh swimsuits to fit the Lara Mesh Body.  Zenith also has a cute ruffle dress. It reminds me of a mix between a toga and a maxi dress. I also couldn't pick out a color, so I went with white (my good ol' stand by).

Dress: Zenith Purfle Dress @FaMESHed, Hair: Oleander Kkyung for The Mix, Nosering: CAE Septum Piercing for The Mix, Eyes: IKON Charm Forest and Natural6 Lashes, Tattoo: Letis Mehndi, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Mesh Teeth, Shoes: Reverie Westcoast (not shown)

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and a great week! Thanks for reading this week's post, and remember to have fun! Hugs and Smooches~

Make Your Own Blend

Happy Sunday! This week has been another crazy busy one for me. Today is my only day off, then back to the long work week. Not big on working so much, but the money....sweet, sweet money. Okay, on with the post~~

Outfit: Ionic Margaery @TheChapterFour, Necklace: CAE Juno @FaMESHed, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Nose Ring: Yummy Diamond Flower, Hair: Magika Meadow, Shoes: Fri.day Nadya (not pictured), Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

There is this new event that started on the first of the month, and I believe it is going to be a monthly event. The Mix is really unique--you have a list of stores which have an item (or items) out special for the event. The item is either a sale (discounted previous store release), new (brand new release for the store), or an exclusive (an item, new or previous release, in special colors out for the event). What is really cool, is for the tons of stores who participate, you don't need a landmark. Everything is listed and used via a special HUD. The HUD is color coded with the list of stores and help show who has a sale, new, or exclusive item. You click the store you want to go to and then you can teleport. No landmark, just BAM the map pops up and you can just click teleport. It's so cool!

I ended up only buying a few things. I bought shoes from Fri.day, a necklace by CAE, and a Summer jewelry set from Maxi Gossamer. I really do enjoy Maxi Gossamer Jewelry. Whenever Maxi does a new release more often than not I purchase it. Her pieces fit whatever the theme is and yet remain versatile enough to be easily paired with other outfits. The summer set she has, are all previous releases, and at a low, low price of 699L for the bundle. Great deal for all those pieces. I was inspired by her flip-book/advertising photo by Strawberry Singh and paired all the pieces with a top I bought at FaMEHSed. The top is fun and very summery.

Shirt: Style Threads Summer Top @FaMESHed, Shorts: Addams Epiphany, Jewelry and Shoes: Maxi Gossamer's Summer LookBook for The Mix, Hair: Truth Randa, Skin: Glam Affair Yolandi, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

FaMESHed is very ready for summer. There are several swimsuits and swimsuit covers. Maxi Gossamer also has a summer hat at the event. I ended up buying some sarongs by Rebel Hope and a hat by Maxi. I, surprisingly, didn't buy the dress by Zenith this round. I didn't like the way the bra looked on my avatar. I don't know...the demo looked odd on me (looks great on Earth though). There is also a dress by Valentina called Debutante. I don't really like the cut of the dress, but Earth really liked it. And to be honest, it does look really sophisticated on her.

Bikini: Zaara Morjim, Sarong: Rebel Hope Mesh Sorang @FaMESHed, Necklace: CAE Illuminati for The Mix, Sunglasses: Glamistry, Hair: NEW Truth Shaylee, Anklets: Zaara Nizam Payal, Skin: Glam Affair, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Hena: Letis Diwali, Slink Hands and Feet

One event I hardly cover, but go to every month, is The Chapter Four. Usually I only ever buy a skin set by Glam Affair or some random shirt or skirt or accessory, which sits in my inventory until I can pair it with something. This month there are a LOT of outfits which I was able to put together (I may have cheated a lot, because the outfits are all partially put together... Don't judge). My favorites are by COCO and Ionic. COCO has a cute sheer crop-top shirt and matching skirt. It is more modern of a look on me, but I have made it a bit softer by having a simple curly hair paired with it. The dress by Ionic has an attached cardigan sweater; it is really cute and the prints are simple and add a small bit of flare.

Sun is wearing... Outfit: COCO Sheer Panel Top and Skirt @TheChapterFour, Hair: Truth Lyric, Shoes: Just Design Boho Vintage Brick, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet
Earth is wearing... Outfit: Valentina Debutante @FaMESHed, Shoes: Reign Adele @FaMESHed, Necklace: Junbug Pearls of Wisdom @FaMESHed, Ring: Anara's Earth and CAE Belle, Earrings: Earthstones Sitara, Bangles: {anc} ThornCombiBandle, Hair: Truth Posy, Skin: LAQ Jessica Peach, Slink Hands and Feet

Season's Story opened on Friday and Collabor88 opened on Wednesday, but this week's post is already long. I will post more next week about Season's Story and Collabor88. I hope you all enjoy your Sunday cuppa and have a wonderful week~ Hugs and Smooches.

Huge THANK YOU to Earth for letting me use her new home (Glam Affair's item for The Mix!) as the location for some of the photos and for posing with me in her new outfit from this month's FaMESHed! HUGGLES~~~~

The Mix Hud, it's free!

Feni for Summer Parties

Yay for Sundays! This week has been long and fun; I am finally ready to start enjoying my Summer. Even though I still have to work and have no time-off scheduled, I am ready to soak up some sun and to spend my time in the water with fun cocktails and beverages. I hope everyone had a good week--now to this week's post.

The Arcade opened on Monday and of course I couldn't get through, even with my LetMeIn Hud. Tuesday evening I tried again and I got in after an hour! First thing I did was go to the Zaara gacha and I stayed there until I won at least one of every single item. That took a lot of time and a LOT of Linden, but oh so worth it. Her past gachas have been household items and such, but this time her theme is Goa, which is a state in India, and has a good mix of household and wearable items. Goa is very free-spirited and kind of a Hippie place. So, of course, all of Zaara's items are colorful and a bit trippy--I kinda like it. I love the pants and the bikini she has in the gacha as well as all the jewelry and accessories. The bikini is a rare(and has a color change hud included), and so is the beach shack build. There are about 8 different colors of the pants, and all the accessories are good quality.  The outfit I have put together looks perfect with one of the hairstyles from Truth located at The Arcade. The hibiscus flower included in the hair adds the perfect touch.

I, of course, played other gachas at The Arcade; Erratic had a Lazy Days gacha and seeing how I love lazy Sundays I had to play it. The negligee Alice is a rare and comes with a color change hud. It is very sexy, very pretty, and very lazy(ish).  I was able to wear it without an alpha; it fits so well. Also {anc}LTD's gacha has peacock pets and of course I had to play for them! I adore peacocks, so to have some peacock pets/familiars, it is just one of the best thing ever. PLUS, at my mom and dad's house a man down the way has pet peacocks and we can hear them calling at sunrise and sunset whenever we are outside. And mentioning pets/familiars, +Half-Deer+ has a dragon familiar gacha and they are super adorable. They have mermaid-like tails (which match the other gacha by +Half-Deer+ at the event) and come in cute colors. There are two secret colors, one looks gold/white and the other looks like a starry-sky. They are super cute and I don't think any color is better then the next, so you can play multiple times, or just play once.

Bikini: Zaara Morjim @TheArcade, Pants: Zaara Arpora Fisherman's "So Chic" @TheArcade, Hair: Truth Damaris with Hibiscus @TheArcade, Jewelry: Zaara Friendship Bracelets, Zaara Baga Nosering, Zaara Retro Sunglasses,Zaara Rudraksh Necklace ALL @TheArcade, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6, Slink Hands and Feet

FaMESHed opened as well on Monday and I didn't get too crazy with my shopping there as I normally do(I only really liked a few of the items). Glam Affair has a cute dress and cardigan set, all together costs about 450L$. I thought it looked really cute with some wedges I got at The Arcade and the other hair by Truth from this round of the Arcade. All together with a jewelry set my Maxi Gossamer, which is also at FaMESHed, reminds me of a girl from the 1940s or 1950s. The whole look is just very vintage, fun, and summery.

Outfit: Glam Affair Aya Bodycon Dress and Coldy Cardigan @FaMESHed, Shoes: Ingenue Carmen Wedges @TheArcade, Jewelry: Maxi Gossamer Esmeralda Gypsy @FaMESHed, Hair: Truth Gilda @TheArcade, Sunglasses: Zaara Retro Sunglasses @TheArcade, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

So for The Arcade, I recommend getting a LetMeIn Hud to help teleport you into the event, and for FaMESHed just enjoy a nice leisurely shopping experience. It should get easier to get into The Arcade after next Monday and until the event ends at the end of the month. Please take some time to go check both these rounds out. Hugs and Smooches~

I know I normally don't post where I take my pictures at, but I recently was shown around by a friend the redone sim that is home to a dance club called Lestastic; the ground part is all beachy and fun and so awesome for those of us ready for summer (or to us bloggers wanting fun beach pictures). Lestastic is a Lesbian club and is open to women(female avatars) every day and to everyone on Fridays.

A Cup of Assam to Go With Your Cake

Happy Sunday~ This afternoon I will be entering in the Usernames into the random site generator to pick the winner for the bundle of gift cards. Thanks to those of you who entered and there is still time to enter. I will entering the Usernames around 10 SLT, so 1 EST.  All you have to do is go the my post from Thursday, enter in your Second Life Username and tell me your favorite post from this past year. The Bundle has: 1 500L$ gift card to Truth Hair, 1 600L$ Maxi Gossamer Jewelry, 1 900L$ Gos Shoe Boutique. That's 2000L$ worth of accessories! Okay, I am done with the prize stuff, onto what you really want, FaMESHed, .

Dress: Baiastice Ilary Dress Sheer Print @FaMESHed, Shoes: Junbug Mon Cher Pumps in Floral, Bangles: Maxi Gossamer Painted Pansies @FaMESHed, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Hair: NEW Truth Paola, Skin: Glam Affair, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

FaMESHed is having their Third Birthday (so many milestones this month) and they are celebrating big. There are about double the creators there, and almost every creator has a free gift for the event. All are amazing. To get the gifts you have to wear the FaMESHed group tag and then click on the blue present box.  There is a theme this round and it is very Beachy! And we all know how much I love beachy and nautical. First of all, the set up is massive compared to normal. Forget the city street stalls, this is like walking on a boardwalk. the apparel and accessories are all along the outside with home and garden decor in the center. Really nice set up and so easy to navigate (Plus the look is so fun and different. I really enjoyed the shopping atmosphere there).

Dress: Zenith Strapless Long Dress Fitted @FaMESHed, Cage with Paper Cranes: Zenith @FaMESHed, Necklace and Rings: CAE Phases @FaMESHed, Hair with Sunglasses: Tableau Vivant Writer, Skin: Glam Affair: Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

My favorite buy from the event is probably a maxi-type dress by Valentina. Valentina has two different styled dresses at the event, one of them is one shoulder and had some sort of asymmetrical skirt which makes it kind of flirty--at least I think it looks flirty.  The other one, the maxi-type, the dress poofs out and there are these thick vertical lines going down. I bought the teal stripped dress and I just LOVE. It is so my style. One, it reminds me of the beach. Two, it looks very elegant and looks like something you would wear to a yacht or sailing club. And third, this dress has a poof...who doesn't like Poof?! I have been wearing it since I bought it. Zenith has a cute strapless dress with a cage/origami crane accessory that is fun. So of course I had to buy it. The only other outfit I have worn besides this dress is a jumpsuit by Fishy Strawberry which is also at FaMEShed. The jumpsuit is called Anniversario and it reminds me of something a Bond Girl would wear. For me the one thing that stands out the most isn't the cut of the suit, but the HUGE bell bottoms! Now when I say huge I don't mean like massive, but they are definitely bell bottoms, and I am a sucker for bell bottoms.

Dress: Valentina Sail Away @FaMESHed, Rings and Necklace: CAE Phases @FaMESHed, Hair: Truth Aida, Sunglasses: Yummy Vice, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Whatever Fang Teeth

Another event Birthday is We <3 Role-Play. They are celebrating their 2nd Birthday. So many Birthday's this month. I was looking at the previews on The Blogging Elf's site and while I don't blog much about We <3 Role-Play (it doesn't always fit with Sunday Tea), I do go to the event every month and I do buy a LOT of stuff from poses to dresses to hairs to home items. I love Fantasy and I do enjoy some Role-Play (who doesn't?).  I only bought one full outfit by Enfant Terrible. It is very risque--the top and the bottom are non-rigged mesh and you can easily size it to fit your avatar. It took me like two minutes to get both to fit my shape, so easy. I bought some hairs by Tableau Vivant which I think are gorgeous. There are also lots of free of gifts and 10L$ items(I can't call them gifts if they aren't free). All you have to do is wear your We <3 Role-Play tag and click/buy.

Outfit including staff: Enfant Terrible Verelis in Dark  @We<3Role-Play, Hair: Damselfly Harvest @We<3Role-Play, Ears: Lemon Tea Wood Elf, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink hands and feet, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes

The Chapter Four is also having a birthday (May is the month for birthdays I guess).  I only bought one outfit by Kitja, it is very causal and I have been wearing it clubbing a bit. There are some cool accessories at the event as well, but I didn't go too crazy. Normally Glam Affair has skins at the event, but this round they have home items in a gacha. If I were you, I would teleport over to look at all the items there. Lots of fun little stuff you can buy to complete or start an outfit or a home project.

So overall, May is the month for birthdays! Get your group tags on and teleport over to the events. Get some free gifts and do some fabulous shopping! Hugs and Smooches my Tea Readers~~~

Green Tea to Free Your Senses

Happy Easter everyone! I hope this past week as been amazing for everyone. I know it has been awesome for me. I feel like I am all caught up, finally, on everything.  Let's get started with this week's post. Go ahead and put on your kettle.

Dress: Zenith Thoracotomy @Uber, Head Jewel: Zaara Nizam Tikka, Hair: Truth Armelle @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink Hands, Bracelets: Noodles Positivity Bangles [not seen], Trident came with pose from An Lar Poses The Water God Series

So Uber opened on March 25th, and it was driving me crazy right before hand....because I could NOT find out what the theme was for the month. And guess what? It is a freestyle round. So no theme. Now I did not go to the event right away, because when I was checking out the listings on Seraphim a lot of the stores/creators were MIA(at least there were a lot the first day Uber opened, the next day there were considerably fewer creators MIA). So I checked out the Uber website, and I saw a few of the items that were yet to be listed, but I wanted to wait a few days to give the creators time to set up their stalls. I normally teleport in as soon as I can, so this was very abnormal of me to wait on an event. I don't know if it was the long list of MIA (missing in action) on Seraphim or not... Either way, there are a few items when I did get in I felt compelled to buy, like the hair by Truth, an outfit by Zenith, and Erratic had an outfit that reminded me of a previous release by Zaara last spring. It is an open jacket with folded sleeves and a pant with the ankles folded. The folds have cute patterns and you have options between some really nice solids and a cute floral print(guess who got the floral).  Also there is a romper(everyone is really into the rompers right now) by Fishy Strawberry I bought, and it is really cute; I bought the sakura print to try to be a bit different, it is a darker blue with red petals. I like it, I really do....I just need to figure out how to pair it.... I am having some pairing difficulties with it. I need to figure out what I plan on doing with this romper.

Jacket and Pants: Erratic Anya and Tegan @Uber, Shoes: Ingenue: Louise Heels former Arcade, Bustier: Zaara Natasha, Necklace Earrings Ring: Mandala Prophecy @Uber, Bracelet: CAE Wanderlust London @TLC, Head Jewel: Zaara Nizam Tikka, Hair: Truth Armelle, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

There are a few outfits with tights I bought which I liked, but again, I need to work on putting the whole "look" together. Baiastice has a cute mini dress with tights(the tights have built in shoes which are like AWESOME).  There is another outfit with tights by ISON there, and there are shoes you can buy, which are really fun and very versatile. The top has a cool back (the top has Spider in the name if that gives you an idea for the back). The tights you can choose from are a marbled print, which I find fun and different. I bought the shoes to go with the outfit and the whole look together is a cute with an updo or with a fun short hair. I did buy a jewelry set by Mandala and I think I want to go back and buy other packs. They are big, bold, and beautiful; to me they look so exotic, and the great part is there is a set there which is unisex so both gentlemen and ladies can look fabulous. Valentina also has a GORGEOUS dress that is one shoulder and I bought the black one. To me it is the perfect little black dress. When I saw the pictures in the previews, I knew it was mine. Love, love, LOVE.

Outfit: ISON Spider Tank and Marble Leggings @Uber, Shoes: Ison Stingray Sandals @Uber [not shown], Earrings and Necklace: Mandala Prophecy @Uber, Hair: Truth Posy, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Slink Hands and Feet, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes

I crashed the first time I was at Uber, but I was able to get most of my shopping done that first go. But as you all know, every event is good until the last day(good to the last drop), and I have enjoyed teleporting in a few times to see if I missed anything. I bought some jewelry from Mandala, I bought two sets, the Princess Dogtags(they don't look anything like dogtags) and Prophecy. I love these sets, and right now, with some of my outfits, I am wearing all three pieces together....maybe it works, maybe it doesn't...but I feel regal so there.

Shirt/Dress: Zenith Mimi short skirt @FaMESHed, Shorts: ModanMesh Shorts, Shoes: JD Malgo Leather White @FaMESHed, Rings: Mandela Princess Dogtags @Uber and CAE Anniversary Ring @Fit for a Princess, Nosering: Zaara Ayanna, Head Jewel: Zaara Nizam Tikka, Earrings: Zaara Ayanna Jhumka, Hair: Argrace Konomi, Skin: Glam Affair Katra, Lipgloss: Glam Affiar Romy Goddess, Handbag: Zaara Patchwork @Creation.JP, Slink Hands and Feet, Whatever Fang Teeth, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes 

FaMEHSed opened on Wednesday and while everything was of course of great quality, I was only interested in a few things. Mainly Zenith's mini dress (which I have paired with khaki shorts because it is REALLY MINI...like if it wasn't in the virtual world there would flashings every time I made a step short.) and a dress by Rebel Hope. There is a cute lounge outfit by Fishy Strawberry I bought to go with some converse sneakers I bought a week or two ago by FateSTEP (same creator as FatePLAY). Like I said, everything is of great quality, but nothing really jumped out at me this round.

I know not all of you are of the Christian faith, and as you know from previous posts I am not either, Yet, I still want to wish everyone a Happy Easter and a Wonderful Spring! And for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, Happy Autumn!! Hugs and Smooches~

Side Note: If you noticed, like all the pictures have Zaara's Head Jewel Nizam Tikka...that is because no matter what I did when I was changing for the pictures (and for some reason relogging didn't help me) the jewel would not come off..at all. So I figured that was a sign to just include it in all the pictures. So....Yay for Head Jewels! The one outfit it started with was Zenith Mimi...Then it just carried over to all the other outfits. So if you don't like the head jewel...put your finger over it. :P

Masala Chai and a Bohemian Blend

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great Holi and a great weekend. I always feel like the weekends go by way too fast. But lately I feel like the work week has had a good steady pace, too.  Just a small FYI, I may be posting the next few Sundays late or early (I don't know which yet)--I will be going on vacation to recharge my batteries. I am going to try to convince Earth to do some guest blogging while I am gone.

Dress: League Ananda La @Uber, Necklace and Earrings: Yummy Boho Blue and Silver @Uber, Hair: Truth Delphine @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Alice Cygana Jamaica @Uber, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink hands, Mouth: Whatever Fang Teeth

Uber opened on the 24th (or was it the 25th.... I can't even remember) and the new theme is Bohemian. Let me just say, wow. First, I really like the hair by Truth Hawks this round (I normally do...); it is a large braid, and looks more like a twisted curl, in the back with options for flowers or butterflies to add in front and back. I can see myself wearing this hair a lot. I adore braids. Nylon Outfitters has a few items again at the event. I wasn't so interested in the clothes, I was really into the jewelry. I really like the turquoise and silver earrings and necklace. The necklace has got strands of turquoise layered on top of each other, and it is rather large, but not obnoxiously so. Currently I have it paired with an outfit I bought from Uber by League. It is a long sweater/skirt combo and has a cool leather belt. I, of course, bought the white/gray dress and the necklace and earrings pair so well. I really like the look. Very bohemian, and also very simple and subdued.

My FAVORITE thing at Uber this round is a skirt by CandyDoll. There are lots of different prints, and the skirt is very well fitted. I bought two different prints, an Aztec print (it looks more Moroccan than Aztec to me) and a large floral print.  I have this lacy crop top I bought a while back from Chapter Four by Ionic and it pairs perfectly with this skirt by CandyDoll (I am getting really proud of myself more and more for pairing separate pieces together. I used to be horrible at it). I had been planning on buying a skirt/crop top combo from Foxes this round, but unfortunately the top had some fringe (not a lot, but some). It is not very noticeable from afar, so I didn't really notice it in the preview pictures.

Shirt: Ionic Lace Crop Top, Skirt: CandyDoll: Luna Skirt Aztec III @Uber, Shoes: Just Design Boho Vintage Brick @Uber, Necklaces: Yummy Hamsa, Shining Crystal and Small Crystal @N21, Earrings: Yummy Boho Earrings Blue/Silver @Uber, Hair: Truth Delphine with Flowers in front and back @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Alice Cygana Jamaica @Uber, Bracelets: Zenith Cross Anchor Love and Izzie's Eternity Bracelet, Nosering: Zaara Ayanna, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes. Slink Hands and High Feet

Now a bit of a side note:  I know I have mentioned this before, but I am not a fan of fringe. I don't know what it is, but to me it just makes an outfit look unfinished most of the time. I do realize a LOT of people like fringe; it is in style, and it is quite bohemian.... However.....I still don't like it. I know I am weird. Fringe just doesn't do it for me. I will admit there are some fringe items I like. And some people look fantastic in fringe... Like my Soul Sister, Kalia, she bought the outfit by Foxes and she looks GREAT in it. She was wearing it at The Woods on my Birth/Rez Day the week before and she looked amazing. She can pull off fringe. I look like a hobo (not even a stylish hobo chic....like the hobo living behind your house in the woods).

The Arcade opened up on Sunday, March 1st and I hate to admit this, but I spent the WHOLE day trying to teleport in...with no success--but this is usual with The Arcade. When I was finally able to get in,  I got almost everything I wanted from The Arcade. Not many outfits in this round, more accessories and home items. There is a "Arabian Nights" styled outfit set by Enfant which I feel in love with as soon as I saw the previews. There is a gamer girl outfit set by Birdy Foxes which was cute, and a Wonderland set by Pixicat. The big jewelry items I wanted was by Schadenfreude wee beastie rings and Nylon Outfitters(Yummy) Lucky Cat Necklaces. I was lucky enough to have gotten every thing I wanted from all the vendors, except one..... Of course there is only one. The hairs by Tableau Vivant and Exile are really pretty. Tableau Vivant's is large and not practical for everyday wear...but I like it so much. Exile's hair is very practical, very pretty, and the best part is you get two styles in one pack!

Dress: Zenith Springtime Casual Skirt Sea @FaMESHed, Shoes: L.Warwick Svannah in Navy, Necklace: Yummy Celestial Burst, Ring: Aisling The Good Wife, Bracelet: Yumyums Sailors Token Steel Anchor and Earthstones Twisted Peppermint Stick, Hair: Tableau Vivant Shiny @Shiny Shabby, Skin: December II Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink hands and feet, Mouth: Whatever Fang Teeth

FaMESHed opened as well on Sunday, with way more success in the teleporting department. I was able to get in quick (about the fifth try).  I bought Zenith's new Springtime Casual dress in the sailor print because I do love ocean stuff (I am a marine biologist). The sleeves of the dress go to the elbow and are bunched up, giving it a more "Real Life" look/feel. Also there is an outfit set by Lumiere--it is a sheer top and a patterned shorts. Both pieces are separate, so you can pick your combo. It is rather more expensive (it was about $500L together), but it does look really well. For the shirts there are three options, a full shirt, partial for an open jacket (that option goes with longer jackets not cropped) and a closed jacket option (again, also longer jackets). I think the shirt would look great with a cropped jacket, but the string in the back (which also happens to be one of my favorite parts of the shirt) doesn't go with the cropped jackets I have. I need to do some pairing with hair and jackets. Even without a jacket, it looks stunning and simple. Very Springy. I like it.

Outfit: Lumiere Apparel Sheer Top Nude and Trouser Shorts Floral#3 @FaMESHed, Shoes: Reign Bohemian Energy Wedges, Handbag: Glam Affair Maria Clutch @FaMESHed, Bracelets: Glam Affair Bangles Candy, Necklace: Yummy Embelished Key Necklace Gold, Earrings: Aisling Roz, Hair: Exile Scribbled Hearts, Skin: Glam Affair Amberly II Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen and Natural6 Lashes, Slink Hands and Feet

My post is long...Really long...so I will stop there for now.  I hope you all had a wonderful Holi, had a great weekend, and I hope this week is full of fun times and lots of shopping. Much Love~

Rose Tea and Romance

Happy Valentine's Day Tea Readers!  This past weekend some events opened--some monthly and some for Valentine's day.  I am going to talk about two of the Valentine's events I enjoyed, and then Collabor88.

The two events I went to last weekend were "Love Is In the Air Fair" and "With Love Fair".  Now, I didn't get too Linden$ happy with buying a lot of items. I did get jewelry from Maxi Gossamer at both events (she does have a free gift at "With Love Fair" for everyone, you don't need to be a part of the group).  At the "With Love Fair" I also bought a ring by Izzie's called "Initial Love Ring".  I like how you can change the initials on it and the color of the heart. It's a very simple ring and very pretty.  Maxi Gossamer also has a very pretty heart necklace(I enjoy a lot of Maxi's jewelry).  I don't really have anything to wear the necklace with at this time; the heart is very large and has a lot of details bursting from it.  So the "With Love Fair" for me was more about jewelry than outfits. And come on, who couldn't use more jewelry? Am I right or am I right?

"Love Is In the Air Fair" was a surprise for me. Why you ask... Because Zaara is there!!! She has this vintage looking gown there. The gown itself is very simple, and the bust has a few strips of sequins. It is around 695L$ if I remember correctly, and she has it at a special discounted rate for the fair (so when it goes up in the mainstore it will be more Linden$).  I bought the ruby colored one, because with something so simplistic I wanted a deep color to make it stand out more. I am still working on pairing it with accessories, so when I have a finished product I will be sure to post a picture on Facebook, ASN, and on the blog. 

Dress: GizzA Cecelia Dress @Love Is In the Air Fair, Shoes: .Enfant Terrible. Rose shoe (former Arcade item), Bracelets: .Aisling. Elyan Bracelet, Ring: .Aisling. The Good Wife, Necklace and Earrings: Earthstones: Vintage Romance Princess, Skin: Glam Affiar Sia, Hair: Truth Sally (new release), Eyelashes: Redgrave Natural 6, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen, Slink Elegant 1 Hands and Mid Feet

Maxi Gossamer has another necklace out at "Love Is In the Air Fair". It reminds me of those Origami Owl necklaces. You know, the ones with the charms inside the pendant.  Again, I bought the necklace, but I don't know what to pair with it. I want to pair it with something to make it stand out, so when I have it done, I will be sure to post pictures.

GizzA has a GORGEOUS dress at "Love Is In the Air Fair"! It is very simple; it has a shear overlay, and it is high-low.  I love high-low dresses, so this was just the best. I bought the white one (surprise surprise).  I have it paired with deep red lipstick, nails polish, and simple rose gold/rose floral heels I won at the Arcade a few rounds back from Enfant Terrible. I am in Love with this dress. I saw the previews for it, and I knew I had to have it.  There are lots of other outfits and designers at the fair, and I never had a problem with lag or with teleporting to the event. Both Fairs end towards the end of the month, so you should have plenty of time to teleport over and get some sexy shopping done.

Collabor88 opened on Sunday with the theme "My Love", and teleporting took forever.  The first time I teleported in, none of the demos I tried would load properly due to lag(BTW: the Glam Affair skin photos do NOT match the actual skins, at least they didn't when the event opened. You need to try the demos to see what they look like. Hopefully this will have changed by the time I post, but if not, please please please always try the demos).  I saw some previews on the Second Life Inventory Facebook page, and I had mixed feelings. The event's colors are more subdued--they are darker than I normally like. There are LOTS of overalls. I am not an overall person...like at all. Foxes has a very pretty dress I bought with a cardigan. Also COCO is there and has an Equestrian Riding jacket. I love horse back riding in Second Life, so this jacket was perfect for me!

At this round of Collabor88, the designers are celebrating "prom", so a lot of the designers had "dates" to this round--Dates meaning co-collaborators. A LOT of the stalls have two creators per stall.  It is very cool. My favorite pair is Baiastice and Bauhaus Movement. Baiastice has a nice blouse and dress combo, and the combination of this Violin and floral headpiece by Bauhaus Movement....Just breathtaking. You need to at least check out the display photo at the stall... Breathtaking. 

Dress: Foxes Wallflower Dress and Cardigan @Collabor88, Shoes: Eudora 3D Dahlia @Love Is In the Air Fair, Bracelets: both by Noodles Right: Initial Bracelet Gold @FaMESHed and Classic Love Bracelet @Collaobr88, Ring: Aisling Good wife, Necklace: Amourous Granny's Necklace, Hair: Exile Scribbled Hearts @Collabor88, Skin: Glam Affair Ellie skin @Kawaii Project, LipGloss: Glam Affair Goddess Romy, Slink Casual hands and High Feet, Eyes: Slink Mesh eyelids

Overall, these events were fun.  Everyone should take some time and go check them out. You don't even have to spend that much, there are items there within everyone's budget.  Happy Valentine's Day! Much Love, ~Hugs and smooches~

***UPDATE: Love is in the Air Fair last day is February 15th! Please go check out the event before it closes***

FaMESHed for Some Enchantment

Happy Sunday my Tea Readers!  This past week has been quite the roller-coaster with my hectic work schedule, Second Life Fashion events going on, and my emotions driving me crazy (maybe it is hormonal, or maybe I need a vacation...I think I am due for a vacation). So let me show you some new outfits and talk to you about some events I went to this past week.

Last Sunday FaMESHed opened and there an outfit by Fishy Strawberry I saw in a preview on the Facebook page Second Life Inventory(it is my go to for previews on events and new items from designers).  I saw this bedazzled dress and cardigan combo and I immediately fell.  I didn't know it came with a Hud to change the gem colors until I got to FaMESHed.  It is very nice to be able to change the gem colors on both the dress and the cardigan--I don't have to worry about necklaces to match. And if I want to have something more subdued or more boisterous I can change the colors to fit. How awesome is that?! Also at FaMESHed, Glam Affair (who usually does skins) has a mesh bangle in a few color options and the bangles match the Fishy Strawberry dress. I bought the blue and pink bangles...still debating about getting the cream one.

Noodles has another bracelet out at FaMESHed this round, and it comes with a Hud to change the initial on it. It is a very simple bracelet. Again, I don't know if it is my luck or not, but when I put on the silver bracelet's Hud, it loaded backwards, and I did not realize this so it took me a while to figure out how to use it. Once I realized it was backwards it was simple to resize and change the initial. I bought the silver and gold bracelets. I was only going to get silver, but I figure sometimes my outfits look better with gold accents--so having a few more gold accessories would not hurt.

Outfit: Fishy Strawberry Bejewelled Cardigan and Dress @FaMESHed, Shoes: Gos Victoria Platforms, Skin: Glam Affair Sia Skin Fairy Tales @Collabor88 OMG!UNICORNS, clutch: Zenith Jewelry Leather Clutch, Ring: .Aisling. The Good Wife (previous Enchantment item), Hair: Exile Librarian Chic for Enchantment, Bangles by Glam Affair @FaMESHed, Lipstick: Glam Affair Romy Goddess, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen, Eyelashes: Redgrave Natural, Teeth: [whatever] Mesh Fang, Slink Causal Hands

Enchantment opened up as well last Sunday. I spent most my morning going from store to store getting my cards stamped for the grand prizes. This round's story is Beauty and the Beast, last time it was Rumpelstiltskin. So this is way up my alley. Roses, jewelry, pretty pretty things. Love it. The hairs for the events by Exile (both the item and the prize) are pretty.

I usually get the dark blondes pack, but I guess Exile has redone their color packages, so there is no more dark blonde option.  The blonde pack still has a darker blonde option, but it is not as dark as I would like--I think it is because it has a lot of highlights to give it a more "natural" look; in my opinion, it looks more like salon processed hair than natural hair.  It still looks good, and I do like the style, I am just sad to see more and more hair creators getting rid of dark blondes.  First Truth got rid of the dark blondes. He did keep a few but he mixed them in with the blonde pack. Lelutka still to my knowledge has dark blondes, so hopefully she will keep having dark blonde packs. I pray she does. I love my dark blonde hair. I am so attached, the shades I often choose are similar my real hair, not quite blonde, not quite brown. I love dark blondes.

CAE have a pretty ring and a necklace for the event (ring is the shop exclusive and the necklace is the prize). The ring is ornate and the necklace is simple. They all come with a texture Hud. Aisling, for their prize, has this pair of GORGEOUS rose earrings, and they match so much of the other rose jewelry for the event. The real reason I wanted the earrings were for a necklace I have from Tea.S. The roses are similar, and even though the colors are a little different, they match. Overall, Enchantment is a must for everyone who loves that beautiful garden feel. There are a few period dresses and lots, and I do mean lots of accessories.

It was funny, I went the the prize area a few times on Sunday, and at one point, one of my friends from ASN was there we started to talk. It was just so awesome to have a random connection to someone from one area, and to see them in another (Second Life is a pretty large area to randomly run into someone).  For those who do not know, ASN is Avatar Social Network. It is a social network site strictly for Avatars. I do enjoy being on ASN, very fun and everyone is so friendly and helpful and so positive (at least my experience with ASN has been).  I am friends with lots of people on ASN, so when I got to meet one of my ASN friends, at such a random time (she was there taking photos with her daughter, and I was there trying to pick out some prizes) it was such a wonderful thing. We then proceeded to IM, little bits of conversation, but still it was just pleasant how we flowed through conversation. I so enjoy experiences like this--random and fun.  We didn't really talk for long periods, but it was on and off throughout the day. It was just nice.

Sweater/Shirt: Storybook Elastic Rose, Skirt: Baiastice Didi, Ring: CAE Belle Ring for Enchantment, Necklace: CAE Belle's Rose for Enchantment, Hair: Exile Tea Time for Enchantment, Leather Bracelet: {anc} Thorn CombiBangle for Enchantment, Bracelets: Noodles Initial Gold Bracelets @ FaMESHed, Skin: December Skin, Shoes: Gos: Gos Victoria Pumps Garnet, Teeth: [whatever] Mesh Fang, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen, Eyelashes: Redgrave Natural, Hands: Slink Causal 

...I just looked at my post and it seems to be rather long, so I will end it here for now. More events have opened, but I will post about those next week. Everyone just keep being awesome.

Information on Enchantment

Earl Grey on a Winter Afternoon

I hope everyone had a fantastic and safe New Year.  I know I did; I may have had a bit too much champagne and saki, but it was New Years!

Uber opened on New Year's Eve, and this round's theme is Opulence.  For those of you who do not know what opulence means, opulence is wealth, riches, or affluence--the designers this round sure did keep with the theme.  Everything is elegant, almost over the top with gems, and the price range for a majority of the items is expensive.  The hair by Truth Hawks is similar to last month's hair; it is long, curly, AND it comes with a head jewel(head jewel has a separate color change hud so the jewel can match any outfit).  As usual the hair is at a slight discount since Truth is the main sponsor for the event.  Almost everything else though...is expensive.  Zenith has a very pretty dress at the event and it is slightly more costly than her other items at similar events.  I love the style and the textures, I did not like how the dress is flat chested...like flat.... I still bought the dress, because like I said, I love the style, and the look. But the complete lack of chest is very new and odd to me.  I have the Truth hair paired with it, so the hair goes over the breasts, this way it is more difficult to tell it is in fact flat, but still...flat chested is not really a great look on me.

Dress: Zenith Rose Vintage Chiffon Dress @Uber, Jewelry: Yummy Diamond Chandelier Earrings, Pearl and Diamond Bracelet and Necklace @Uber, Hair: Truth Minerva with Jewelry @Uber, Lip Gloss: Mudskin YumYum Dark, Shoes: Tulip Studded Loafer Clay, Skin: Glam Affiar Artemis Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen, Eyelashes: Natural

Nylon Outfitters is a guest designer at Uber, and her Russian Princess dress is gorgeous and simple, and the price is reasonable--Nylon Outfitters always at Collabor88 (also does Yummy Jewelry) so her prices are always good.  I bought the black/gold long princess dress, slink nail appliers, and jewelry.  I also got the fur stole that goes with the dress, but somehow the stole doesn't look right in the chest area.  The dress goes over the front of the stole, and gives it an odd look.  I do like the whole look though. Very regal, very opulent, so this designer did an fantastic job sticking to theme.  Baiastice came out with a high-low dress for this event, which is expensive in price, 445$L (just FYI this is an almost normal type price for her elegant dresses and such, so for this designer, it is normal at well worth the Linden).  I bought the white, my twin Earth bought the purple. The colored dresses have a glitter back, and the neutral colors are plain on the back.  Both looks are very rich in style. I love the gold built in belt. For something so simple, it adds so much.

Due to prices this round, I wasn't able to buy everything I wanted right when it opened.  There is a dress/fur shawl combo by Foxes, and Tres Blah has a glitter skirt and halter top combo there as well.  both Foxes and Tres Blah, for their combos you buy the pieces separately, and both pieces add up to +400$L, so I will be buying them at a later date.

Dress: Baiastice Mida Dress @Uber, Jewelry: Ymmy Diamond Chandelier Earrings, Pearl and Diamond Necklace @Uber and Ice Ring Quartz and Gold @Collabor88, Hair: Truth Harmony Bun, Skin: Glam Affair AngelicaV2 Jamaica, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen , Eyelashes: Natural

FaMESHed opened on the 1st, and this round has a few nice pieces.  I bought the sweater chiffon skirt dress by Zenith. I also bought the scarf she made to go with the dress. The completed outfit looks well put together, and has an element of fun, I think.  Also, I haven't been much of a fan of the store Noodles, but at FaMESHed this month the designer has bracelets that come in packs of three. Each bracelet says something positive.  I bought two packs, both packs I felt had a connection to me and my optimistic thoughts and feelings towards life.  I wish I could re-size them-- I went to make them larger, but I didn't see a script on the contents, and the hud only changes color. Someone on Seraphim stated they were re-sizable, so I will have to go back to FaMESHed and look at the stall.  Maybe I am just having a brain fart over it.  I am going to have to mess with them.  I like the bracelets and for one set it is 250$L... So I did drop a bit of Linden to get these two packs, but for me they were worth it, and they still are, I just need to re-size them!

Dress: Zenith Cream Sweater with Chiffon Dress @FaMESHed, Scarf: Zenith Sweater Scarf @FaMESHed, Hair: Truth Harmony Bun, Shoes: Gos Carrie Pumps in Ivory, Earrrings: Yummy Pearl Studs @Uber, Skin: Glam Affair Angelica V2 Jamaica, Eyelashes: Redgrave Natural, Eyes: Redgrave Catgreen, Ring: Yummy Ice Ring Quartz Gold@ Collabor88

I went to an event I had not heard of before, and I am glad I now know about it...or maybe I have heard of it, and just never really thought about it.... Oneword. Oneword is a bimonthly event where it's members vote for a word, and the word with the highest vote is the theme for the next round.  This round's theme is Dream.  I didn't buy any outfits at this event, but I did buy some poses and a chair that looks dreamy and the poses are quite nice.  The prices were very reasonable, and if you join the group, there are quite a few free gifts at the front of the event on the shelves which are nice. Not huge, but nice little gifts.  I hadn't heard of this event before, and I am glad I know of it now.  I joined the group, and it will be nice to see what future words inspire the designers.

Since the Holiday Season is almost over, I am looking forward to the Chinese New Year in February (February 19th for those of you who don't follow).  So Happy New Year everyone, and I hope all of you have a prosperous and happy year!
