LOTD- Just a little something

Hello lovlies!

I just wanted to share today's look with everyone. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about it honestly. Aside from the skirt I'm not showing much new or unseen.

Check it out!

Worn:

Sweater- Mon Tissu
Undershirt- Jane (Old Subscribo)
Skirt- Ingenue (this past 50L Friday item.. was still out as of an hour ago)
Boots-[ E]

I putzed around with the beige skirt and a blue sweater but the combo wasn't quite what I was hoping to be. Also it should be noted that this skirt is mesh. It comes with glitch pants and a mesh piece that is only between the legs to give that super tight effect. The mesh comes in two different sizes and there is a demo available for anyone still not sure of mesh fitting yet!

That's all for now darlings! Have a good rest of the weekend!

Until next time! XOXO

Shop till you like Mesh

I'm really feeling very over Firestorm's issues lately. I don't know if it's me or something on their end but goodness is SL sucking for me right now. I've been crashing at nearly every TP, lagging so baddly at my own house I end up on the other side of the Sim. Suffice to say in the past 24hrs SL has decided to HATE me.

I tried rocking a non-mesh beta viewer and it worked briefly until all the items I snagged to show ended up being mesh. and then well. GRR. Anywho.. Hold onto your panties ladies because I have been shooooppping!

I like to Mesh Around

I won't lie. I still have my reservations about mesh. I know I've talked about it quite often recently so I'll try to make this one of my last meshy bits for a while. I mentioned previously that I had raided Jane so I wanted to show you two of the skirts I ended up with!

I ended up getting a maxi skirt and a pencil skirt. These two pieces were super important to me because as I've said, my booty tends to take over sculpted/prim skirts. So I was super excited to be able to rock these two gems.

I also want to be very clear that I have done no editing to change the look of either item. They didn't need it to get the point across!

Oh and the adorable shoes I'm wearing are from Koko's subscribo! Grab em while you can!

Speaking of adorable shoes...

I am so in love with these shoes from Lelutka. I had seen a RL ad similar to them and though I'm not a RL show freak I pretty much lost my mind over them. SO imagine my glee when my love Jayme shoots me an IM. I'm pretyty sure there was screaming about amazing shoes and then sudden tps..


Upon landing I was like "OH, look at your amazing shoes. yay for you!" I scanned over the price tag, scanned my Linden acount and got a bit pouty in my head. Darn it. Not enough Lindens. About this time I start plotting which of my horses I can pawn off for some cash. Then something AMAZING happens.

She bought me shoes!!!! Becasue she is amazing and the bestest friend ever... and and.. she knows I would love them. <3 I do. I really do.

WOW. That was the worst paragraph/story...ever? SO Anyway, that is the tale of how I came to own my first un-free/ subscribo/ group gift- shoes in... well a long long time! Thank you mama J! <3 You rockz!

Cuddles

I think this whole massive rain thing is really throwing me off. Currently I'm living in a warm weather state that , dare I say, is almost bearable right now. It's got a slight chill to the breeze and doesn't make me want to weep while I'm trudging inside and out.

Of course it also seems to have convinced my body that it's time for big fluffy hoodies and beef stew. I have a Guiness stew-like concoction heating up on the stove. Yums.

I also allowed myself to get dragged into the world of mesh now that FireStorm has a Mesh Beta viewer out atm. After hemming and hawing over my Linden balance I sucked it up and headed down to Jane.

I've previously discussed Jane's early attempts at mesh but I hadn't yet purchased anything. I was really holding out to see changes and for a darn viewer that didn't crash every 3 seconds.

I was pleasently surprised to see a few new additions to her already more than ample mesh cache. I was even more pleased as I stood there trying demos to see she had made more size options.

The last time I was there things were in Large or Small. I had a bit of a crisis. I tent to be between sizes in RL. Before I had even worked up to trying on a demo I had already gotten myself into a tither. I'm pretty sure there was some shrieking and a little bit of fist shaking. My husband just looking at me and shook his head. But NOOOW there are more options so gosh darnit something was going to fit. And it did! Like a glove. I ended up with a long skirt, hoodie and a cute dress.

As you can tell by my total lack of editing or trying I'm feeling like a bit of a bum today. At some point I will show you my other goodies but this is the awesome comfy hoodie I bought. It made me want to curl up!

Which I would be doing in RL if my living room *cough entire apartment cough* didn't look like we had held up a Uhaul. Oh boxes why must you take up so much sppppacccce. Sigh

The days begin to mesh together

Hi lovelies! I'm so so sorry I've been gone! The good news is I have a new computer so I can take slightly less glitchy pictures and actually travel around SL without crashing every 2 seconds! This is so exciting!

On that note I did want to share an adorable find! All over the grid the stories of mesh are overflowing. This post will be no exception! I've mentioned Jane's goodies already!

If you are looking to try mesh out for free make sure to grab free gift from SLink! They were kind enough to offer an adorable pair of dark wash jeans to test out!

Also if you are more into the girly fashions Hucci gave out this adorable gift!

Squee!!! Isn't it faboosh!? If you are a member of the subscribo it was only given out a few days ago! Also given over the past few days was a cute golden cut out dress (not mesh) and a 50L gift card! So so generous!

PS. Can we all just take a moment to admire my MUCH less glitch-ed pictures!? Yay video card of awesome <3 My hubby spoils me so

Times are changing, Stores are closing

I don't do well with change. I dislike change in SL even more because when it's something is gone... well unless the designer sticks to the Marketplace then it's gone for good.

Two of my favorite stores will be closing their doors over the next few weeks.

Grixdale will be closing it's doors after August 31st. The store is currently selling all items for 100L and under so be sure to get in the goodies before they are gone!

Also sadly closing it's doors is Berries Inc.. You have until Sept 12th to grab all goodies prices at 50L before tier payments run out.

*Sniffle*

On a different note, if you haven't been to Jane then you need to scoot on over asap. I love the styles of clothing at Jane. Girly, classy and oh so cute. If you happen to use a viewer that supports mesh then you will be pleasantly surprised! Newly released are a few dresses and separates in her store for the mesh frenzy out there! Owner Janie Marlowe is also super interested in the way the new mesh is fitting those of us out there. If you aren't familiar with mesh, its a bit like system clothing in a way that it moves with us but looks like the primed clothes we are so familiar with. If you feel like skipping the glitch layers on a dress and jumping around, never fear mesh moves with you! The down side is that it does not make allowances for saddle bags, body fat , breasts and some other vital parts of us all. Thus why Janie is asking for feed back from us all! Go ahead and give it a go!

Teach me how to Dougie.. oh yeah.. and LOTD

I really need to get a life. Or at the very least, a job. I woke up this morning to the wonderful surprise of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake  doing 'The History of Rap: Part 2'. I about peed my pants laughing. I ended up watching the first edition as well and I just can't decide which cracks me up more!

In a moment of total excitement I remembered I had received a free Dougie gesture a few weeks ago. It's a bit loud and obnoxious but if you are feeling in the mood to get down and boogie

 

There's me getting my 'Dougie' on. If you want a copy of the gesture hit me up in world. I got it as a free group giveaway but it's no longer in the group. It is however copy/trans. so yay!

Now for the real stuff! I was feeling a bit urban fashionista today, so I threw together a bit of a mismatched look! Check it out!

 

Worn:

Top: Jane- Intrinsic.bk,charcoal

Bottoms: House of Beningborough- BB Cargo Pants (previous freebie, no longer available. There is a weekly freebie gift in store and these pants can be bought in black)

Shoes: Gabriel- Gladiator Sandals-Black Group Gift (also available in brown, many other gifts available as well)

I wanted to take a second and point out the hair I'm wearing. It's the Seasons Hunt gift from Plume!(Look for a little shark!) Isn't it great?! The flowers, hair pins and what not are color change. The only downside to this hair is that it does need to be worn with a hair base unless you plan to rock the shaved sides look. If you don't have a hair base already you can grab the free Joy hair from Analog Dog as it comes with TONS of hair bases!

I made the little alley I'm standing in. Aren't I craft. Haha

That's all for now. Back to wedding plans! Weee!!
