And the Embers Never Fade in your City by the Lake.

I've been hearing this song all day long.. and it's one that I've always held dear to my heart. Not only is it the song that got me introduced to the rock genre as a child, and not only is it Smashing Pumpkins and a badass song, but it also holds a very strong emotional meaning with me... so I thought I would share it with you, and take a break from all the Christmas! GAH! After a day of Christmas day shopping, I could seriously just kick it to a curve and scream.

So believe... believe in me.. Believe.. God, I love that song.

So... now we go on to what we all are coming from. I want to first of all share some news that left me flabbergasted  Now.. I'm not sure if Whippet & Bucket is closing down.. or they're having a sale.. or what.. but everything is marked down to 50L! Even new releases! I've always been a huge fan of this store, and when thrying to come up with a quick and easy style for you all today, I decided I needed a top to go with it.. visited W&B, and I cried at the 50L goodness that is the store right now. I mean.. even mesh newness! Granted, it's only like two items, but I don't care, even their non mesh items are to die for! So! I got the top.. and some jewlery.. and I danced with glee. Paired it off with this cute little ensemble that has the boots, shorts, and cardigan from Mon Cheri, and some tights to make it look a little more season appropriate.. and finished it off with the newer style from Lelutka, named, and insipired, by Alice (In Wonderland, of course).

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

And I'm also dreaming about the End of the World. Not the actual Mayan crap that has some people running around in circles.. I mean.. come on guys! My calendar ends every December and you don't see me throwing a fit over it! I can't even understand why the end of the Mayan Calendar would freak people out.. they probably got tired of writing it.. or something.. or thought "Hey.. you know.. by this time, there probably will be someone that can do it.. Imma go take a break or something.. bai!" I don't know.. it's what I would do anyways. So why?

Gah!

Now.. on to the important stuff. The other End of the World.. yes.. the Fair. I'm slowly sorting through the inventory and the massive mess of stuff that accumulates  But.. slowly and surely, I'm getting to the good stuff, and I tried on this little outfit by Badazzle.. and well, the socks got to me. Add garters like those to a pair of socks, and I'll drool! Add a nice little sexy piece along with it, and I'm in fashion paradise. Then there's a new pair of ice skates from DillyDolls, which is just too adorable to pass on! It comes in many colors, from blue, to Christmas colors, but for the outfit that I was wearing.. I totally had to go for the black on brown style. Then.. finally, Falling into Winter Hunt is upon us, and I got this little make up style that is just too cute, and matches so well with the winter feel of it all, the glow of the cheeks, the tone of the lips. Love. And with newness from Lelutka.. yeah.. it has been a good day to make a nice little outfit for you all to enjoy!

Get the ice skates on, and start dreaming of a white Christmas.. and not the end of the world.. it's a little silly, don't you think?

Hey, Boy.

So.. turns out I can be a badass too! Heh.

One of the many things I love in SL is the ability to reinvent yourself without permanent damage - or pain. Feel like having one leg today? Go for it. Want tats? Why not!? Piercings? All out! Go make yourself pin head if you want!

It's truly a land of infinite possibilities for fashionistas like me that like to explore all kinds of venues, despite our preferences. So.. today.. I got a couple things from Cute Poison, and even the pants from Even.Flow at Acid Lily, and made this very cute outfit that you are seeing today.

Normally, I do go for the more classical and proper looks, but today, it was just one of those days where i wanted to mess with the world!

Just so you all know too, we're getting ready to have the End of the World Fair! It might happen.. it might not.. who cares? Let's shop! The little necklace I have from Cute Poison is actually one of the many items that will be available at the fair! Keep an eye out for more goodies to be coming up later this week in more posts.

Also, if you haven't heard.. Burley is now going to be doing hairs under the make Taketomi. They have adorable hairs! Like this beanie look! It has an HUD where you can change the color of it, and even add a beanie that says "BOI" in white or black to it. If you want a good hair style, that it's not owned by everyone and their moms' in SL, Taketomi should be one of your must go to destinations!

Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time.

Ok, so first of all, I know what you're thinking. The hell Sash! You haven't posted in forever!

I really want to stress here, I haven't forgotten you all... It's just in life.. when it rains, it pours. I have been hospitalized, and seriously, it feels like every week there's something new! Ack! Anyways, back home and working on being pneumonia free! So I'm back baby! Yah!

And I'm back again sharing two looks that are absolutely must haves this season for Christmas. I've paired them off with different pieces to make it look classy and gorgeous! Just because it's Christmas, it is not an excuse to look like a clown and a badly dressed Santa, guys! No! Use this time to simply make nice and subtle reminders of the wonderful season, and have fun! My advice when it comes to fashion has been "Don't overdo it!" It is the same during Christmas, sometimes.. less is more. Which means.. No Christmas walkers for you!

I'm loving the wintery fashions over at Acid Lily this week, so don't forget to stop by and grab these outfits! Only 75L each.. tops.

The Christmas Waltz with Acid Lilly

I'm getting into the Christmas mood this year, somehow, and I've never been the biggest Christmas fan. However, there's something about it that offers hope.. Maybe that's all that I need this year, hope.


... That is if we survive the end of the world!


Joke aside, there's nothing I want more right now than snow, lights, and Christmas presents, and giving back,  getting into that spirit that fills the heart.

Apart from that! Acid Lily is out now! And I've compiled a couple looks from what they're offering this round. I have have way more to show! It's all so amazing, and in the spirit of Christmas, the designers have gotten generous and there's many group gifts available from some amazing designers. Really, this round of Acid Lilly will make your jaw drop, and the generosity of the designers will make you cry. Exaggerating, sure, but still! Make sure to go over and check what there's up for grabs at Acid Lily!

You Better Believe in Voodoo Baby

I totally love this song, I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of Gossip Girl. I know, right? Shocker! Another fashion lover that is totally obsessed with that show! Well, I think it's only girls.. I've tried getting guys into it, and I just get smacked. But! I mean.. There's fashion, drama, class, money, scandals, and awesome music! Of course when I put together this little outfit, the first thing I thought of was one of my biggest inspirations in SL, Blair Waldorf, and when I thought of her.. I thought of this song. And well, that's how this set and all came to be.

So, where to start! For one, Fi*Friday is back, and Whatever has a cute pair of shoes that's just to die for, and only 55L. I love all things high fashion, and these boots just scream "Look at me! I'm sexy, and a badass! Booyah, baby!" So of course I had to get them.. and you should too! While at it, check the collection! Some of the stuff is not my taste, in all honesty, but it's not to bash and say it's not good, it's by far one of the best events to get cheap stuff of amazing quality!

Then, you have fameshed that just opened. Now, I love Color.Me.H.O.F., Fashionboy has some of the best  clothes in the grid right now! They kind of remind me of the Italian Fashions, and I adore it all! I could spend hours in that store and just drool over all the goodies. So, when she joined the fameshed crew, I just had to get the little leather skirt they have. Normally I go with blacks and neutrals, but stepped out of my comfort zone this time and decided to get navy.

I don't like dual toned shirts, which is what they have out to go with the skirt. Not saying that they're bad at all, it's just not in my preference, I like safe fashion, not much of an uber risk taker, so I paired it off with a tucked in Edelweiss shirt, and the bow to go along with it. Now that I had the "uniform" look going, I added a pair of gartered socks, corky hair from Burley, and the new Special Edition skin from WoW Skins, the end result- an adorable Blair Waldorf inspired design. I think she'd be proud.

And as  tribute to Gossip Girl:

Once Upon a December

So.. just when I think I'm fully back, real life bites me. My butt recovered, and I'm back, just a light annoyance. Don't feel like I've deserted you! I shall be here for you and your fashion needs, always.

So, let's jump right on it, shall we? December has come, The end of the world is almost upon us, and the snow is falling, and it's pretty and cozy outside. So, what better time than to put on your dancing shoes, get a nice coat, and make yourself feel like you deserve to feel, and have fun? Today I danced with the swans, played in the Arcade, and ran along With Love, and there was not a single thing to regret.

Let's start with the Arcade? Normally not a huge fan of gatchas, but.. when you're telling me some of the best names in SL are going to be selling a creation for 75L.. I won't be picky about the color, I'm rush in there, bow my head, and thank them all. There's a new store, Noodles, in the line up with the most adorable tiaras out there! Based in all of our favorite Disney movies, it's really a must. There's also plenty of other goodies I got that I'll be Blogging about later and creating looks with, but right now, with the Anastasia song playing in my mind.. I needed this tiara.

Then I ran over to the With Love Hunt.. Because.. who doesn't like amazing cute things for 10L? All you have to do is find the red box with pearls sort of coming out of them, and some of the best names in SL will give you something amazing! For 10L. I am truly in love with this coat, it just feels so royal to me, I'm totally head over heels with it. The pose is also from the hunt, Illmatic. They have some cute and simple poses that are a must for any Blogger, or photographer.

Finally, paired it off with a pair of heels, and some jeans, and I was ready to dance gracefully.
