The Name of the Rose

The Name of the Rose

“How peaceful life would be without love. How safe, how tranquil… and how dull.” ~ Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

The Name of the Rose

Valentine’s Day is coming up so a long of roses are going to be gifted through Marketplace in the next couple weeks.I am wearing an outfit from Ariadna Garrigus that’s a taste of sexy for strolling the grid. With mesh jeans, a draped silky tank and a nicely shaped jacket on top, it’s a great look for going out or shopping. I wore Senzati0n Domenitzo’s boots for Shiny Shabby with it and Maxi Gossamer’s new heart-filled pearl choker for Fameshed. It has color change for both black and white.

The Name of the Rose

Not everyone on the grid is sold on mesh heads yet, and this skin is a beautiful look for a Valentine. This time she has blond brows, so I am able to wear one of Queue Marlowe’s gorgeous new lush looks with abundant curls.

So Good

Ooh, you make it so good
Baby, somethin’ about you

~ “So Good” by Beat Connection

So Good

I took a trip over to Elysion to get a cup of coffee and listen to the debates on CNN. While I nervously sip my coffee, I am trying to calm myself by breathing in the calming atmosphere on the sim and enjoy the music on the stream. I assembled a cute look from recent events. Start with Sash Arabello’s stop for the Dressing Room Fusion, a great find available in three colors at a rock bottom price. Then my plaid leggings from Flutter Memel are one of many colors and patterns she has Collabor88. Sexy platform boots from Senzati0n Domenitzo give some sex appeal to the look while applier fingerless knit gloves from Alaska Metropolitan at Anybody are a very inexpensive accessory.

So Good

I topped one of Thora Charron’s newest hairs with Aleida Rhode’s gift for gentlemen at her sim. It includes a HUD that allows one of four plaid patterns across two parts of the hat for mix and match and it’s resizable so not just girls can wear it. A sexy choker from Kreao Kujisawa for Romp includes Open Collar scripts but has a sort of costume jewelry appeal that makes it look like a pretty necklace. Sawsan Secretspy has come out with another lovely skin, this one for the SWANK event, and I reddened my lips with a deep red from Constance Daehlie’s makeups at AnyBody.

Good Morning!

Good Morning!

“Morning is an important time of day, because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have.” ~ Lemony Snicket

Good Morning!

I don’t know about you, but I am not a morning person. A lot of my mornings are spent still sleeping or reluctantly greeting the day. It’s a fresh start, though, and a great chance to start anew. Shiny Shabby starts another round today and with it come some fabulous new creations, as you see here. One thing I like about the event is the switch from “shiny” to “shabby,” the combination of sleek and new and decorative and old. As always, the décor is top notch, and I put out several pieces from this round to start the day off. Gachas from 22769, Zerkalo and NOMAD will fill your living space with beautiful pieces, including NOMAD’s rare bed with single and couples’ poses. Convair and keke also provide great décor sets, which can be pulled apart for different decorative looks.

Good Morning!

One of my favorite old school designers, Solange Cerveau, is back on the grid with some great sexy mesh pieces. Debuting at Festival of Sin II are skimpy mesh tops with texture-change HUDs that have been created to fit Slink and Belleza mesh bodies and regular avatars. I am so excited Solange is back! Apple May, another old school SL designer, is offering this cute denim mini at Shiny Shabby, also with a texture-change HUD for the belt. Little flat sandals from Hautecouturedesign are exclusives for the Cool and Vintage Fair, opening in a couple days, and Mea Carnell has created a lovely flowered jewelry set for the Cosmopolitan Room.

Sawsan Secretspy is featuring this lovely skin at Swank, and it matches all her appliers, including the Maitreya and Slink that I needed for this look. Two clicks and I was all set! I hunted down Funeral Plutonian’s dreamy eyes at Kustom 9 and donned a side braid from Kuranosuke Kamachi with its beautiful blonde textures.

Good Morning!
