It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....ɞ

IT'S ALMOST HERE!!! 

We are 4 days away from the best holiday ever ever eeveerrr! This will be my last blog of 2014! I'll be starting my vacation tomorrow and should be back around the 7th of January!

SO today I have a Christmassy look and I grabbed my seastar Payton for it! Turducken released 3 super cute group gifts for boys and girls for the holidays and I really wanted to show both sets of jammies with you! On my sister, you'll see the super pretty night gown that is SO perfect for Christmas eve! I love the little buttons on the from and the bow and my absolute favourite is the lace detailing it breaks up the pattern of the skirt nicely so you do get that overwhelming plaid on a big space!

I'm wearing the boys version actually, because I wanted to share my slippers with you and you can't really see them in the gown! I like the boys jammies and girls you can totally wear it too and a really pretty red bow would look amazing in your hair to 'girly' the look up! My slippers are from the newest release, they come in a ton of different colours (boys there is a set for you too) and of course I'm wearing the pretty red ones to match my jammies! When you buy them, take a really close look, they have a pretty charm on them and it's one of the huge reasons I love them so much. Details details!

Four our hair, it's the brand new hair form Magika! They're so darling and unrigged so easy resize and for some reason I love the hair with these jammies and the colour. Red and dark brown hair- total match made in heaven. Lastly, my nails are brand new and will be out soon and were kind of a preview gift from Kyia, who will be opening her store back up!

For my pose I chose an older one from click which was perfect for this shot and my puppies behind me were a gift actually from my Secret Santa Kyia and it's the Aisling rare from Arcade!

Remember, the holidays aren't about the gifts but about spending that amazingly magical time with your friends, family and those you love. I will see you all in 2015! 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & Happy New Years!

Happy Mid week day! We are literally at the 8 day mark before Christmas and I'm SO excited. So today I have sort of a... day 2 of yesterday's Turducken blog! I kinda felt like this dress needed it's own little post before it's pretty different from yesterday's theme! 

As you can see I'm wearing this super pretty gown! I absolutely love it. Everything about it. I love the way it sits on the ground so nicely. I adore the detailing on the top. It's really dainty I think and gentle and just adds that little piece of perfection to the dress! I also, as you can see, comes with a shawl! A pretty, soft shawl that does up in the front and keeps you warm if you go outside for pictures for a few minutes! This is a must have dress, and not just for the holidays but they're amazing for any dressy function- and thy come in a ton of colours! Total must have!

I paired this dress with my favourite up-do right now from Magika with a big red bow for the holidays and for my background I've used The Loft Christmas set, table cloth and place settings, the tree from Apple Fall and a few other Christmas Decor pieces from The Loft as well!

Santa can you hear me......ɞ

It's Tuesday! That means we are officially 9 days away from Christmas and we are now down to the single digits where days to Christmas is concerned? Are you excited? Because I'm SO excited.

I'm equally as excited for todays' blog because guess what? Turducken is releasing and JUST in time for Christmas. I also have a little tiny blurb suggestion thing at the end of this blog for those of you who are stuck on Christmas gifts, because guess who is done her Christmas shopping? This girl. 

SO Let's get right to it!

The evening has been, so nice warm.......ɞ

Happy Monday! Oh the holidays are sooo close and I love holiday looks! I have a cute new outfit to share with you guys, just a simple LOTD but I fell in love with it the second I opened the box. I also love new stores. Little small gems that you just know are going to be just get more awesome! Today's outfit is from Snippet! I've actually pulled apart two outfits from the two I got and they're just adorable!

The dress is one pieces and I'm love the polka dots on both the sweater top and high-waisted lace skirt. The little belting is just beautiful and the perfect touch to the entire outfit. I also really like the bigger collar and more specifically the really pretty jewel that was added to gives it the perfect little something that completes this outfit! For my boots, they're pulled from another outfit by Snippet and they match up so well! To complete this look, I added the Tuducken knee socks, the Noodles earmuffs and the Magika hair that I love SO much!

Happy Friday! I don't know about you, but snow has been literally dumped here. It's everywhere and it's so so so pretty and fluffy and.... Gosh I love the holidays!

Happy Thursday! I'm so glad to finally be on break and be able to blog again! I bet you all went to Arcade haven't you? I did too and I finally JUST collected everything I needed! I have a few of my favourite pieces here to show you!

So, I'm sure you all know that I'm obsessed with animals. I love deer, they're my absolute favourite, but I just love animals. So when I saw the what Snips & Snails released for Arcade, I about died! If you look above, I have the Deer with the lights out from that beautiful set, and the ducks, and the piggie, and the bunnies and the sleeping puppy with the gifts. I absolutely love them and had SO much playing with them and decorating with them! But, S&S isn't the only set of animal friends. Ispachi created a beautiful almost winter animal set and I have the insanely well made rare of the kitty and puppy playing and I love this because the puppy is reminiscent of the sleeping puppy from the September arcade set and I really like that they went hand in hand like that! I also put out the arctic foxes from that same Ispachi set and you can't really see it, but there is a baby fox curled up with the parent fox, sleeping. The entire set is like that too, a parent and a baby animal posed all perfect and cute together!

I think the one thing I loved the most about both these sets is the amount of detailing that went into each and every animal. They all look insanely real and are so beautifully done and the colours are just so vibrant and right. They're two beautiful sets.

I'm sure you've seen my Boogers Santa pal from my last post, he fit in so perfectly here, so you get to see him again! My hair is also from Arcade, it's the Tableau Vivant hair! It comes with earmuffs too, which I opted out of for this photo, but the hair is SO easy for us to wear and kinds cute and messy! Lastly, my outfit, which you can't see all that well, but I have it in my next blog post coming out tonight or early tomorrow, the outfit is a really pretty outfit form Minuet and it is so perfect for Christmas. A total must have!

That's it!

Let's get right into it!

I may run and hide when you're screaming my name.........ɞ

We're soo close to Halloween! Anyone who knows super well, knows that Halloween uis simply not my thing, I'm pretty much scared of everything, but I do loove looooove to dress up so much. I've been shopping and collecting the last couple days for some cuute costumes from different stores. Let me tell you, there are SO many amazing costumes so today I'm going to show you a few of my favourites!

ʚ.ɞ

I'm on your magical mystery ride......ɞ

ʚ.ɞ

Let's shoot the breeze, sit back down.....ɞ

Happy Friday Eve everyone! I really hope your week has been so so amazing so far. I'm really looking forward to this weekend myself! Today I have kind of a two-fer LOTD for you. I stole my sister Payton today to give me a hand with this post!

ʚ.ɞ

There's something about the sunshine baby......ɞ

Happy Wednesday! It's nice and warm here at the Grand Canyon today! I had a little time so I decided to stop into the sweet shop, read a little and do a quick LOTD!

ʚ.ɞ

No, I won't ask you.......ɞ

Happy weekend! I'm so so sooo happy it's the weekend especially because I'm headed to the Grand Canyon with my family! Mhm, I was just getting ready to go when I thought, hmmm I should do an LOTD with this 'travel look'! Soooo here it is!

ʚ.ɞ

I don't know about you, but when I travel, I love to look cute but the most important thing is comfort. If I'm going to be stuck for any length of time on a plane or car, you can bet your pet goat that I will be in something super cozy! Of course, I'll look cute doing it!

I went for my favourites here. I love deers, if any animal was going to be 'my animal' it's a deer/fawn. I love how elegant they are so usually if something has a deer on it, I've got it. Like my sweater! This adorable sweater is from TipToes! I've blogged the cute store once before I thought I had seen this shirt there, so I went back and sure enough, taaadaaa! A deer sweater! It's so cozy looking and it has polka dots- dude, polka dots! Who doesn't LOVE polka dots?! I grabbed my jeggings from Little Nerds to match the black on the sweater and to contrast against the soft brown and polka dots, then slipped on the boots that came with the sweater and voooilllla! A cozy outfit, worthy of a plane ride!

For my accessories, my absolutely perfect scarf that will get me through the fall AND winter. It's from Snips & Snails and can be found at The Seasons Story! This scarf comes in multiple sizes too! Literally for EVERYONE! Then I have my cute cuuute Clawtooth headband from a hair a few Arcades back then lastly my absolutely perfect deer travel purse from Zenith (I rotate through 3 different ones!) and my princess ring from Yummy!

I'm sure you've noticed my hair! I had bought a few hairs form Chemistry when they released about a week or two ago. I put them away in my 'to blog' folder and forgot about them so today when I was searching I found that folder and I was SOOOO excited. This hair is one where I looked at it and said 'okay this could go either way- it could look so cute or just horrible on me'. Because not everything works on round heads! Sure enough it worked and super well. If you haven't been here before, I suggest you check it out fashionistas, because there are a bunch of hairs we can wear! This one was just adorable when I put it on and sized it and it's really easy to size! I just love it, and I don'r have many hairs that are like this, so it was nice to have a bit of a change!

For decor (excluding the fall stuff cuz my mommy decorated in front of the house), I pulled out my Tres Blah suicases, which I have a TON of because they're so handy! My cute Mudhoney dolly that has different outfit changes available, my Dream Doll suitcase that I've had for... 3... 4 years? And my super cute trunk of Minuet! Which I adore and have another one in a different colour in my room!

ʚ.ɞ

That's it! Now I am on vacation this week in SL, but I will be blogging, just blogging from the Grand Canyon (aka: the Canyon of Much Grandness)! I'll see you in a day or two!

I wonder why I didn't see it there before.....ɞ

Every so often I go shopping at an event or a store and I come across a few things and a blog comes to mind. Other times I sit down and lay stuff out, wear things and then a blog comes together. Sometimes, it only takes one object- I see it and I go "Oh My God- I HAVE to do this" and it literally sits in my head and pokes at me until I do it, and I get SO excited and so inspired while I put it all together. Usually, it requires me to get a little creative and make things like poses or even an outfit- but I always looove doing it!

And thhaaaaat is what happened here! I saw this absolutely adorable Chandelier from MishMish at Trunk or Treat and literally the first thing that came to mind was 'Lumiere' from Beauty and the Beast- but like a baby Lumiere! Honestly this little friend was adorable and just so so perfect for this idea! It can be purchased in two parts, a holdable one and one that follows you around- floating! It's so perfect and I pretty much own everything from MishMish and for good reason! My eyes, I matched to Belle's, they're actually perfect for this photo and from IKON and I got them in Hazel from the new Hope Eyes collection.

My hair is rather old from Elikatira however there are plenty of other hairs that could work if you're looking for a Belle outfit for Halloween! The shoes are from Turducken, my go to shoes as always! My white tee is from Little Closet and I really love these super versatile tees! The bracelet and my necklace are from Noodles, and my dress I made actually specifically for this photo! If you're looking for a copy of it, feel free to IM me and I can give it out!

That's it, a simple little LOTD/photo I wanted to share- I wasn't completely sure about blogging the photo, but it all really makes a great Halloween costume and everyone needs to see this adorable little chandelier!
