Disneybounding: Princess Aurora!

Growing up, Sleeping Beauty has always been one of my favorite movies. Though.. I'll be honest, it wasn't for Aurora, it was the pink and blue fairy, AND Maleficent. I know it sounds weird, but I've always been captivated by Maleficent's character. Younger, I was afraid of her. Like.. that scene with Aurora following the green wisp of light along the corridor.. the music, all of it, it was just.. so eerie. I used to cry in that scene every time. Literally, just.. petrified of it. But then I started to grow up, and I started admiring the work that Disney did on her, the fact that Maleficent was just.. evil. Pure evil. I mean.. you go to Disney, when you watch the Fantasmic! show in Disneyworld... they use her almost as the queen of evil.. darker and more sinister than the Evil Queen herself. Which.. let's face it, she wasn't that evil, she was just vain to the point of insanity really. But Maleficent.. just.. everything about her screamed evil. I loved it. And now with the new movie coming out.. like.. I really hope they don't ruin that. I love her as she is. 

Anyways, the challenge is Aurora. And I wanted to do the mix up of the two fairies. You probably remember how they used to battle each other to turn the dress into pink or blue.. ending up in something like this: 

So.. I mused for days on how to do this, I wanted to do a dress, and then mix it like that in photoshop.. But.. that wasn't the challenge. So.. I figured it out. I had to include both colors in it! It wasn't a choice about pink or blue.. it was merging the two of them into one look. Anyways, I grabbed the top from one of the newer stores in grid, well, making a come back really - okkbye, which I absolutely love. I don't really like bright pink, so the fact that it was soft and sweet was perfect for me, added a headband from Lark, since I didn't have the right tiara for her, and just.. used the Snow white at hand to give it a little bit more of modern edge/attitude. And finished it off with the blue theme with jeans from Maitreya! The end result was a more modern and relaxed Aurora look that looks casual enough to pull off, and well.. still eludes to all the stuff from the movie, one of my favorite parts anyways. Enjoy!

And now I'm in a Whole New World With You

So.. I was a little slow this week with Disneybound.. but.. don't hate on me! I've been through a lot this week, that, and it's partner's week for Disneybound! Aladdin and Jasmine. I love this movie, one of the ones that I used to watch in repeat when I was a kid. You know.. when we still had the bulky VHS, and would play, rewind like a million and one times. Yup. That was me, singing along, and yelling at Jafar. And cry with the Genie.. Ah childhood, how I miss thee. So.. of course I had to get my Aladdin, it wasn't an option to have anything but the magic carpet ride. Nope. So I nagged one of my best friends, James Matfield into doing this shoot with me, and the results.. well, I love them. Through a couple of days of planning and trying to get free time together, we finally did it! I hope you like this week's Disneybound challenge, I know I can't wait for next week. And Natalee.. I'm still waiting for something to do with Sleeping Beauty. I swear I'm about to throw a major fit here, woman!

SL Disney Bounding Challenge- Ariel (Kiss the Girl)

I love the Little Mermaid, I remember sitting down as a little girl and crying along to it, even at the happy ending. But then again, I'm a dork. So, Kiss the Girl.. iconic scene from Disney, and how to transverse this into daily wear? I mainly focus on the main important aspects, the bow, and the blue, and the corset. The corset in the movie is actually a dark blue, but, I went for black, and I also found the amazing freebie necklace that fits the bill just so perfectly from Erare, which is a mermaid shop at the Mayfair sim by Thora Charron. Added the dress from vive9, and a corset, which is really my favorite corset ever, by Auxiliary, and made a very Ariel reminiscent look out of it.

Safe and Sound

I love this song. Hate the movie, and I know there will be haters, but I totally love this song. And I hate Taylor Swift too, but I love Civil Wars. The band that is. Any who!  Newness! Adam and Even has a new skin out, Patrice, and I totally love the make up work on it, and the softness and details on the skin, like random beauty marks, all of it. I am a huge fan of Sachi's work, and it's not only because her name is close to my rl name. Also, Sassy has a new freebie at the store! This beautiful top is all yours for a limited time. hurry up and get it while you can!

At the End of the Day

At the end of the day, you're another day older. That's all you can say for the life of the poor. It's a struggle, it's a war, and there's nothing that anyone's give. One more day standing about, what's it for? One day less to be living. Sometimes life feels like that. It's a struggle, it's a war.. and at the end of the day, what is it for?

Well, in the plus side Emery does have a new release now, which I love. Maxi dress, which.. I do keep on the low numbers in my inventory, mainly due to the fact that I find most to be shapeless gloves around your avatar that end up making you look bad, instead of good. However, this one does give a good silhouette and it has a cool retro design to it that makes it unique, and not a blob around your avatar. I paired it off with another jacket from Emery to give it a better put together and elegant feel to the whole outfit.

Elikatira is going to close her doors again, for a while, to concentrate on the creation of mesh hair. For this reason, she's having a retirement sale, all the hair styles are at a huge discount, and won't be back for sale, so make sure to go get your hair on there.

All These Kinds of Places Make It Seem Like It's Been Ages

With Christmas over, so does your torture of Jazzy Christmas songs... Until next year... Lately, now with New Years upon us, I'm starting to really think about life, and journeys. Roads, the ones I've traveled, and the ones that lay ahead, changes, and moving. I guess New Years always brings the nostalgic out of people.

With that being said, instead of ending Christmas in a Christmas themed post, I thought I would look ahead, and move, travel ahead. And with this, we start our journey into the New Year's.

This has actually been out for a while now, and I've been meaning to blog it, just seriously, hectic schedule! So much to do! But Somnia has an adorable group gift out for you guys, so make sure to grab it while you have the chance! The little dress/top that I'm wearing comes in the two colors shown here, red, and green. Personally, I like the red better, but that's just color preference.. Yes! My favorite color is red! Don't be hating. The flowing feel that the dress has is to die for, and it fits like a glove. I did have to go up a size from my normal size, but.. it's rare to see something that actually fits your shape quite perfectly without you having to make small tiny adjustments, specially dresses that hang around the chest like this. Completely head over heels with this gift.

Also, MoYaz has a new release at the store. You kind of saw it on one of my last posts, with the aqua boots, but here they are in black. I accompanied all of this with a pair of jeans, to go down a bit from the girly look of the dress, to more of a traveling road kinda outfit.

Is That You, Santa?

I'm still listening to Jazz Christmas songs guys! And Louis is stuck in my mind! I swear, since I heard "Zat you, Santa?" This morning, all I've thought about was doing a shoot for the blog near the fire place.. and I have done just that! Ha!

So... Christmas is creeping closer and closer guys! And that can only mean one thing! It's time for more subtle Christmas fashions! Today we have a cute little vest by Wunderland, which is an amazing store that opened just a couple months ago, I found this little gem in Frost, comes to show you.. sometimes going to these fairs and doing hunts can open your eyes to new amazing SL designers that will grow up to hopefully be one of the big names in the future! This vest I've seen done a lot of different ways, it's just one of the latest trends in fashion, but the pattern on this one just captivated me, along with the color, just too adorable.

Then we have the top by Whippet and Bucket, everything in the store is 50L still! Again, I have no clue if they're closing, or if they're having a sale, but run and fill your inventory with their goodies while you can! 50L for their designs is a true bargain. I also wore the 1929 Mon Tissu Jeans to finish off the actual clothing section of it all. Designers out there, hear our plea! We want mesh pants that you can use with boots! Please and thank you! :p

Finally, the boots will be available tomorrow at Acid Lily, they're by Moyaz, and I totally love them, they have a very casual chic look that is very in right now, and they're at a bargain price for a week starting tomorrow, so don't forget to stop by and get yours while you can!

Did You Realize I'm a Bitch Every Time?

I can't believe that Gossip Girl is already over! No! I was growing up with them.. slightly.. Ok.. Ok.. not really, but Jesus! It makes me feel old. First Harry Potter ends, now Gossip Girl, and Dexter next season, and Weeds is over. DAMN YOU TV! STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD! And in an ode to Gossip Girl and a last fare well to Blair and Serena, and Lonely Boy and Dorota.. I got inspired for this post by one of my favorite songs that GG introduced to me, B.I.T.C.H by Plastiscines. Someone please bring GG back! D:
PS: I still can't believe Lonely Boy did it. If you watched it, you will know exactly what I'm saying! GAH!

So, back to the real world, or virtual world, rather. Today I went for once again a more punky style. Now, if  any of you know me, you know that I'm crazy about Hello Kitty! Seriously! I have a Hello Kitty head set! And PJ's. And I had my bathroom Hello Kitty while single.. Ok.. well, I was still in Junior High at that time, but it did happen! Anyways, Barbie Bitch has this tank top that is just extremely adorable! My only complaint is that the base mesh part is so small that you have to rezz the shirt, while wearing the other, and right click and to a texture refresh on it so that the texture loads on the one you're wearing. I'd be much easier if they were mod so you can rezz the tank and make it bigger, so that the reading of the texture can go through and you can see the texture on it perfectly (thanks Tyr [Auxiliary] for these tips). Other than that, I'm totally in love with this collection. Paired it off with jeans, and some boots from ISON, and some accessories from Cute Poison, and now I totally look the part of a bitch.

Also.. newness from Lelutka, I'm wearing the Pocahontas hair, which is amazing for photo effects since it's so flowing. It comes with the jewelry set for it too! And on top of that, free gift from celoe and Lelutka this holiday season, make sure to pick it up! Will be blogged about tomorrow!
