It’s true. I’m actually TERRIFIED of them. I’d like to say that it’s some archetypal memory that has me so scared. But no. It’s this dream I have from when I was about three years old.
One dream, totally scarred me for life – no lie. It’s always exactly the same and yeah I still have it sometimes. I dream that I’m in one of those diving bells, and there is a giant octopus on the outside and it’s going to crush the diving bell and I’m gonna drown.
Not very elaborate is it? Read the rest of this entry »

TP TO SECOND STYLE ISLAND
Sweetest Goodbye is one of those stores that I love everything from it enough for it to be worth having to spend a bit of time working out the prims to fit correctly. I won’t fib and say this top was easy for me to fit, but it was worth it. It comes with two different bra options…one a bit more sultry and one that is a tad bit girl next door. Pending the girl who lives next door to you walks around wearing very revealing shirts. Hey, you never know!
The skirt is from Leezu and the one I am showing doesn’t have the belt but they come in a four pack with the options of no belt, brown belt, white or beige. I am really really picky about denim skirts because the prim piece in the front can make me insane if it doesn’t blend well. I am pretty happy with these…very good blendage. Is that a word? Okay it is now. Oh and while they come in a four pack…very reasonably priced.
I was sitting at work yesterday…minding my own business..getting through the day when I received an email alert from SL that made me very happy. What did it say? It saidddd that Dutch Touch just released a new skin. EEEEEeee!!! I know, right? !!! I could not wait to log in to check it out. It was love…XAYA …you sweet little skin you. I love you every bit of you and let me list some of the reasons; four options of skin tones (cream, caramel, olive and cocoa) because each pack comes with an option of freckles, hair, base, eyelashes and ten glorious makeups, PLUS 4 exclusive specially priced skins for VIP members , and even more options! Well..you are perfect. No seams. Your sweet button nose, the new lips that are delicious and full…the …yeah. I love it. Iki scored another huge win with this one. Huge.
I won’t go through all the makeups but below are some of my faves. Okay that isn’t true, I love all of them..below are the four I had enough patience to take pictures of while SL kept crashing on me. Don’t pay attention to the sizes of the images…pretend they are all perfectly the same size and well…yeah, just focus on the gorgeousness of XAYA. <3
Until next time!

July’s issue of Second Style is full of extravagant mystical characters, unrestrained and inspiring ideas on ways to make all of your fantasies come true. We opted to forgo the typical swimwear issue, and are looking forward to sharing with you all of the ways we’ve stretched our imaginations.
Elysium Elide’s pulls together a beautiful spread of woodland creatures, and Rylan Carling dives down under the surface of the ocean with The Look. However, if you are looking for better ways to decorate, Jennaa Loire’s Fashionable furnishings is packed with fanciful décor.
James Schwarz’s breathtaking spread of Goddesses is contrasted with Bleeding Edge’s much darker tastes for fantasy. To Top It off’s Gabby Panacek will help you completely accessorize yourself as always, and Alicia Chenaux’s helping the first timers with a selection of prim elf ears in this issue’s Mini Guide.
We’ve not kept it all fantasy and frolic, Tenshi Vielle discusses the major changes taking place with Linden Lab. While Sophia Harlow’s Style Icon this month is the always amazing Aradia Dielli. Andddd… I’ve also managed to give you a couple of quality editor’s picks.
Finally, to tease you a bit, next month is our very special 4th Anniversary Edition, which if you are a faithful reader, you know includes the Stylies awards! So keep an eye out on the blog for the nominations, and be sure to vote!

It’s no secret that I spent some time this summer in Europe and most of the time, I was walking through cobblestoned streets such as these. Before I get into the clothes I’m wearing (because, yes, it’s another post of this beautiful dress that has been popping up all over the feeds,) I wanted to talk about the scenery a bit. I found this on Joe Balbozar’s flickr page. I take pride on being all over the grid myself, but HE takes incredible pics and even posts the SLurl’s to help promote exploration and is an inspiration for pics like these. Thank you Mr. Balbozar, don’t ever stop your incredible work!!!! Read the rest of this entry »
It is scorching hot in my little part of of the world. So flippin’ hot I can barely stand to put clothes on but since I do not want to be arrested…I am wearing a lot of shorts and cute tops. I thought I would share with you guys a few of my fave SL shorts.
These awesome white shorts are new from Indrya Originals and I do believe I need them in rl. Typical of Indy’s designs, these are very well made and they move great for poses, walking and crazy AO stands. The prim pockets and buckle thingies are a pure win. I am a huge fan of hers and have been for a long time, she really is a true artist in every life. If you have not been to her store in a while…gooo…she has a lot of really cool things out. The top is actually a 30L item from *MIU’s gatcha and so so cute. I wanted to get all of them but I was distracted by ice cream so I need to go ba ck and get the rest. The shoes are the latest from LeLutka and while I am sure you may have seen them on the feed…maybe once or twice. Skin is the heavenly Taylor from League…I cannot get enough of her.
More stuff from Miu. This outfit is going to go into my heavy outfit rotation. It is bright, cheerful and I loves it. Perfect for summer. The little balls on the end are my fave part…very cute. Go check out all the different colors and I dare you to buy only one!! Skin is from Pink Fuel and I love how sweet the face is…the lips are suckable.
A few weeks ago I went to see my friend Ara and she had the sweetest skin on, the lips were all pouty and glossy…
I am not ashamed to say I wanted to smooch her. Don’t worry, I didn’t but it was tough to resist!! While I adore skins I have not tried Lara and the reason for it is too lame to share. BUT, today I went to go check them out and it took me about 2 seconds to decide to fatpack. I loved it so much I tp’ed to show Ali and forgot I was naked. Whoops.
Oh, the outfit… the shirt is from where? Miu! Shocking, right? I can’t believe I have never been there before today. Don’t worry I made up for lost time and bought um…just about everything. Love. The shorts are from Dekade and I doubt I will be taking them off very much over the next week or two, unless it is just to change to a different color.
Hair and jewelry….come on now. Truth and Zaara of course <3

A whole lotta LeLutka. I came back from my extended vacation and hit LeLutka like a bolt of lightning. I don’t think I could have clicked fast enough to get everything I wanted, and then some! I know I often talk about textures and the “feel” of things, but this is more than that. The design and the colors, it’s just a perfect blend. Look at it, there’s no way to go wrong! The hat, alone, makes me get those deep down butterflies! Read the rest of this entry »
The gorgeous spring collection from Baiastice included this amazing gown called Ruka Ghafla. I fell in love with it across the store.
It had me at FOOFY FLOWERS. Read the rest of this entry »

Can I possibly express how much I love everything TRUTH comes out with? I don’t know if I actually have the words for that one. This hair style is just so typical me, even me in RL! lol I ran over to aDiva to check out what was new. I really enjoy that they sell “outfits.” It’s a complete set and the looks are very very NICE! I’ve ripped apart their outfit though and coupled the top with jeans from Indrya Originals, another designer who creates great outfits. Read the rest of this entry »
[]::Tuli::[] Jade :: The Deck exclusive is a must have skin…and only available at Tuli’s location at The Deck. The makeup is pure fun…coral pinks, yellows and just perfect for summer. Tuli is an artist…her skins are always beautiful and whenever she releases an exclusive skin…your best bet is to make sure to get to it before it’s gone!
The tropical looking makeup of Tuli’s new skin reminded me that I have something all sorts of summery and full of awesome to share with you guys….
NOTsoBAD released a new ASPEN Outdoor Set and it is seriously so wellll made and full of what? OPTIONS!
You buy one set and get 14 colors in 1! Huzzah!There are 4 single poses each for male/female. Along with this new set, they also recently released a very cool kitchen set, bathroom set and a few other amazing sets that you MUST GO SEE. Seriously, my NOTsoBAD folder is bursting at the seams, can you say addiction?
Oh, like my outfit? It isn’t new but one of the things I grab the most to wear out of my inventory…Nadia Gypsy Dress Set in Silver White by Nicky Ree. Nicky is a phenomenal designer with quite the eye for detail…you can never go wrong when you shop at her store.
