Let It Snow - A Fantasy Adventure - Featuring NuNu's, JK Style, and Baubles By Phe

One of the things that relaxes me most - shopping in the virtual world of Second Life. A long time ago, I learned that both shopping for Barbie (my dressed up avatar) and styling Barbie could provide distraction and even more, create a small window of a world where I could run and jump and play, yet stay exactly where I was in the world. I've seen several great photos snapped recently in what looked like 'snowglobe' scenes and decided I'd enjoy that immensely.

I set out to create a snowglobe feeling, picking the Juliete Coat from JK Style as the basic center of the look. You can get the coat at JK this month free, and free is always good, as a Group Gift and as a gift from the SLF&O group. One coat is grey, shown in the photo, and the other free coat is a wonderful soft brown tint. Adding earmuffs and gloves, from Argrace and Oddity respectively, I was able to bundle up in my little snow world.

I know it's unlikely to wear sandals with straps in the dead of winter, but I have virtually unfreezable toes in this magical winterverse and the new heels from JK Style had a playful quality to them, also color change options, that I just felt beckoned me to wear them.

It's rare for me to go for fantasy skins but this month I accidentally discovered a place called NuNu's and got 5 different fantasy skins from there for free. This one is called Lumis Lumiere, casting a soft gold and silver tint to the overall look. The color scheme in the background at Let It Snow, on Isle Of Lionesse sim and the tints found in the skin looked like they came from the same artist's brush. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isles%20of%20Lyonesse/140/86/25

When Dreams Come - Loovus Dzevavor at The Couturier's Docks, Belod and New Gifts from Chop Zuey

Dreams come and go, but hopefully you have the chance to grasp hold of them, hold on to them, treasure them... as you go by this wild and crazy life. Each time a door closes, another door opens.

I find that to be true in my world off line and in this world I share with you, a virtual world that's come to be my heart and hope and in many ways my salvation. It's not all that melodramatic, but it is sincere. Every time I sit with my laptop on my lap and work on a project for this or that, or style a new outfit from somewhere, I'm happily distracted, and it's a much healthier drug than those I've taken in the past to overcome the pain that accompanies kidney disease. So you see, each of you, and every letter I type and color I paint does in some special way save me from the day's angst. It is why every single time I write a blog or share something here or other social media, I say a special thank you to each of you for touching my world, enhancing it, and making it so much better.

I sent Ms. Vikeejeah a thank you from the bottom of my heart when she shared this month's Couturier's Docks item from Loovus Dzevavor. A limited number of these items are sold from a variety of designers. It's imperative you go early and grab what you love before they're gone. This coat is called the Chase Coat in Almond. It gave me that bundled up with love feeling, warm and ready to go. I paired two of Chop Zuey's special festivity of gifting items, The Little Snowgirl Earrings and Anchor Of My Soul Necklace and a pair of heels from Belod that offer the option of wearing tights with or not wearing them. I chose the wearing tights option for my photo. I loved styling something from Loovus Dzevavor and can't thank Ms. Belle at Chop Zuey enough for all her gifts this holiday. Wow. Life is beautiful.

Nostalgia - Looking To the Ghost Of Christmas Past With Chop Zuey's Peace On Earth Hunt Jewelry Set, Baboom Couture Heels and Carrie's Lingerie

Nostalgia sets my mind a whirring this time of year. It may be why you've seen an array of Carrie's Lingerie on my wall, my blog, twitter, flickr and pinterest. I consider Carrie my first taste for modeling and where I got the support of the owners, the managers and fellow workers in my first ever make-over, and how I took that first step, then launched into a future that I'd have never imagined.

Many of the items over the years were named after members of the support staff, including this one that's called B.I.T.C.H. 2 Hunt. Slipping on one of this seasons' new holiday designs brought back happy memories, including ones I got to share with bitch2hunt. She had a unique style all her own and I enjoyed our conversations. Any time I get to talk at length with people from other parts of the globe, I love it.

Chop Zuey tucked a special prize away for you avid hunters out there. This Gloriana Set comes inside the tiny globe hidden for Peace On Earth Hunt 7. Definitely another reason why visiting Chop Zuey this holiday season makes for a merry outing and lots of sparkle! Baboom Couture offers a few items specially tailored for the Holidays including the brilliant green heels that suited the stark bright colors of the lingerie I'm wearing.

All the Wonders Of the Season -- Argrace, ~ghee and Asteria Creations

I did a bit of hunting to find a few new hair designers. I'm looking for off the beaten path ideas. I have seen a few of you share things from places I hadn't visited and that's always fun. In the 10th year anniversary celebration of Second Life, they put out a bit of trivia and one of the questions was, "What's the highest/best selling item in the game?" "Ladies Hair" and it has been every single year since they began tallying such details. Argrace created this hair with the Santa Cap attached, which rocks because I get so frustrated trying to make hair and hats work. They did the work for me!

I saw Katherine Asteria's recent new releases note card come across my desk and I knew I had to have the Cardigan in the picture. I don't know why my tastes lean towards the asymmetric, but they do and this top was just beautiful.

There are an assortment of colors suited to this time of year. She's released a pair of pants and boots also but I like to mix and match so I pulled on a pair of ~ghee's new tights and Sky's winter boots to create this look.
