Here is my obligatory Christmassy post :P I was inspired by this cute sweater by Sn@tch, " Dear Santa, I can explain..." It's funny to me :D Also, the sweater is part of a bunch of FREE Chritmas gifts at the Sn@tch main store.
Merry Christmas to you all ! (just in case I don't post again until next year o.O)
I bought this super cute romper by PAPERBAG at The Dressing Room Fusion. As soon as I put it on, I had so many ideas on how I wanted to wear it. I really love versatile pieces that I can mix and match with a lot of things...and this romper is perfect for that :) I also picked up a few great freebies this week. This time of year it is so hard to keep up with all the holiday gifts o.O NOT complaining at all lol, we all love gifties :)

A while back I bought this ISON jacket and then sorted it, and somehow forgot about it >< I really hate when I do that, but it does make for a nice surprise when I stumble upon stuff while tinkering around in my inventory. So, I put on the jacket and I was inspired :) This is what I came up with. Also, I used a few nice cheapies I found on MP to complete the look. So, here we go....

The Bare Face Challenge can be found on this Flickr group. Just an interesting little challenge to see our AVs sans make-up, lashes or any other accoutrements. It has been fun for me, looking at everyone's beautiful pics.
I just did a quick couple of shots, one bare faced and one made up like I was before I took it all off :)
Skin: Nar Mattaru - Skye
Eyes: IKON Eternal eyes - Blue
Hair: Little Bones - Take Everything
Sweater: Zenith - Off Shoulder Long Sweater
I love this hair by Spellbound, I could prob wear it forever! It is available through the TAG gacha event. It is also available through gacha yard sales on the MP and in world. That was I how I got the one I wanted. I do not like gachas and I do not play them :P So, there ya have it.
I am also wearing the new boots from Reign, they are the October group gift. They come with a color hud for both the fabric and the soles. VERY CUTE!

Ok Ok sooooo many free witch hats to be had right now o.O I had no choice but to just blog one and get it out of my system :P I am also showing a few more things from the Don't Panic game, and a couple of other freebies as well.
Skin:Lara Hurley-Riah *Halloween group gift* (FREE) Comes with Slink appliers Eyes: [Gauze] Arcane-Mana-Human (FREE - Don't Panic) Hair:little bones.

Book: From Spellbound, it is just the packaging that a hair I bought came in. I thought it would make a cool prop, sooo I used it :)
Don't Panic is an interactive game by Pulse Games. This is the third year I have played :D I always enjoy myself immensely. They are very immersive and fantastically put together. There are always a lot of prizes to be found along the way. However the point of the game is not the hunt for the gifts, it is to just let yourself be immersed by the story, to figure out clues and puzzles. The gifts are just a bit of a bonus to what is already a stellar experience. I absolutely recommend giving it a try.
When you get there, you will get a folder with a HUD and instructions. I suggest you take some time to read the instructions....it will tell you how to set your windlight and sound, so that you can fully appreciate the ambiance of experience. It also has some great advice on how to deal with lag and how to actually play the game :)
One last thing before I move on to a few of the gifts I found there. If you decide to give this a try and you find that you really had fun doing it, please tip these folks. They do all this on their own time and their own dime. You will find a tip jar at the end and beginning of the game. Or... maybe spend a few Ls at the gift shop :)
Quick edit....I almost forgot to mention, there are quite a few gifties for men too :D
Ok on with some goodies ......(this post is image heavy BTW)
Throughout the game you will find rats, they not only carry diseases.....they carry valuable gifts and prizes!!!!!
Here are a few of the gifts I found, I ended up with a HUGE amount of prizes......and I know I didn't find them all o.O
Peek-A-Boo Pumpkin Cats! They are animated and just to cute!
These crazy jack-o-lantern mesh eyes look amazing! There is a bunch of other mesh eyes to be found also :)
Here are just a couple of in games shots. I had to run SL on the lowest graphics for this, and I think it still looked really good... and really creepy :)
I love FREE shoes :) Especially when they are of great quality and look amazing ...like these from L.Warwick. They are available at Eloquence for the time being, I am not sure when the gifts get switched out...so get them asap! I am also wearing a top from Cynful, only it is really a dress :P It comes with all the appliers you can dream of and it is also almost FREE, it's part of The Bling Hunt for 1L. Anywayyyy.... on with the show....

Anyway on to better things like shopping! I have a couple of looks, I couldn't decide which one to blog...eh, so I am just gonna put them both up on this post :P Ok, I know that the Exile hair I am wearing in one of them has been blogged a gazillion times, but it is just so pretty and it matched the new FREE shoes I found. I am also showing another pair of FREE shoes from Le Forme, they come in a pack with 5 or 6 diff colors. I am completely in love with these shoes.... I cannot believe they were free, I would totally buy these - I may just go back and pick up more colors at some point. I don't want to take them off, lol...so I've been dressing around them since I put them on ! I am also really loving the FREE skin from Pumec, so much so, that on payday I will be going back to get a complete set. OK OK.... on with the show.

I have been gone from SL for almost 6 months. It has been slightly overwhelming trying to play catch up on all the shopping, it feels like there is 10 years worth of new stuff out! o.O. Oh well, it will definitely give me something to do late at night when I cannot sleep. I have done a little shopping and a bit of freebie hunting since my return. Taking things a little slow, as the temporary computer I am using really hates SL and SL really hates it right back. >< Anywayyyyy, I decided tonight I would try and get back into poking at my blog every once and a while. Soooo here goes......
I have a fairly simple look tonight, and it includes quite a few FREEBIES! YAY !

Little Bones has a new group gift... this super cute hair with a hat :) Also today, my friend Ana gave me this guitar that she got from the Arcade Gacha Event.

Sometimes all you need is a gorgeous pair of earrings :P These earrings are part of group gift from Sn@tch, which includes a matching necklace. The Sn@tch mainstore is all remodeled and looking really amazing too:)
I was in the middle of getting dressed while in this pose. I was looking for something to wear with these great earrings. I have soooo many things in my inventory, that I started to get overwhelmed and just couldn't find the right thing. I then realized that I quite liked the very simple look I already had going on. So I just played around with windlights, snapped a quick pic...then went to bed. I hadn't intended to blog it, but after looking at it again, I thought ...well why not. Sometimes simple is all you need. Sometimes all you need is a gorgeous pair of earrings :)

Wow, it has been almost 6 months since I did a post o.O I actually have been w/out internet for all that time, lol the longest Ive been w/out the internet since the 90s! Anyway I am back :)
This is a part 2 or maybe a reboot of a post I did about a year and a half ago, here. I went to the Sn@tch sale the other day, 50% off everything...except for the new releases. I saw this dress, and remembered I'd wanted to buy it when I first saw it a while ago. I had to actually check my inventory just to make sure I hadn't already bought it lol. I love a simple dress, and I really love this one. Ivey the Sn@tch designer always has a lovely way with textures. It really is a versatile dress, so I decided to show that in this post, much like I did in that previous post I did. Soooo here goes :)
