Breath Me

There are moments in life where we hit a low. Where we're vulnerable, and there's nothing you can do but to cry out, try to breath. You feel naked, but at the same time, restrained. Small. Afraid. Alone. There are no words, there's just that feeling of unbelievable pain as we lose ourselves. And no matter how much we try, we can't find ourselves. We're broken. Lost. Unsafe. Afraid. 

Kind of been feeling that way for the last couple weeks. It's been rough, and thus, I've submerged myself in work, and health issues, my own. Not others. I've deserted a lot of people that I shouldn't have, and.. now the guilt is starting to wash over me. 

Now I'm not saying all this for a pity party, just because it feels like I have to let it out, somehow, before it breaks me, it's so much to contain that I feel like my heart is about to pump through my chest any time soon. I can't do this. I'm holding my breath and trying to hold out, to ride the wave, but.. I can't. Not anymore. 

I guess if there's something that others can take from this is.. don't wait until the last moments to tell someone you love them, or to do something you have the need to do. Just go for it. And ifyou feel like screaming.. I guess you should do so as well. I don't know, my brain is scattered, I haven't slept in two days, and it's starting to get to me, and.. I feel like I'm reaching out, and grasping air instead of.. whatever it is that I'm trying to find. I'm naked, and chained. And not in the good way. I'm afraid.

Disneybound: Alice

Not really what you were expecting, eh? It's okay, I wasn't expecting to go this direction either, but.. somehow it happened. I tried doing something cheeful and happy and very whimsical, and ended up being thrown away and replaced by this. I don't know but.. I just got the idea in my head of a little girl lost in an asylum, escaping to Wonderland. If you look at the floor you can find the Cheshire cat somewhere even. But.. yes.. this ended up being my interpretation of Alice, which is funny, really love the movie, guess sometimes the way we feel in our life manifests through here. A lost person escaping to wonderland. Sounds like me escaping to second life. Oh well.. I did come up with a cute little outfit for it that i hope you love! I don't think the necklace and bracelet are for sale anymore, they were for a limited event, but.. everything else is up for grabs. I just really couldn't help myself, I needed to have them on for this! The pose from Collab also helped give this picture the exact whimsical feel that it needed. So.. yeah, this was my post for Disneybound, Alice edition! Enjoy!

Can You Free Me From This World?

Yay! New house. I've come out of my shell a lot lately, thanks to Plurk, and I met some wonderful people, and to all of you that I've met <3. I started this journey of blogging in order to meet new people, share ideas, and broaden the fun in Second Life that I can have, as well as trying to learn how to photoshop. I'm still learning, and I've met some wonderful people. To all of you, thanks! You've made this journey possible, and amazing.

So.. new stuff.. the boots are from R3VOLT, and they're awesome! I love the legwarmers fad that is going around, and the cute little buttons at the side.. Just love the design, and the construction of them, very well done. I also am wearing an older release from Dollle, the micro skirt, and i paired it off to go for a playful cute look with whippet and bucket tank top, which is only 50L, and an old release from fri.day, like.. way old, which is for sale in the back of the store. Old, and not mesh, but still adorable!

Guess What Time It Is?

Yup, it's Disneybounding time! Brave style!

I freaking love this movie! I love Merida's feisty attitude, and the whole plot about bonding with the mother.. Tears, I tell you! TEARS! So, I decided to make a small post today inspired by the amazing Merida, and one of my favorite quotes of all time by Disney- so strong and powerful.   So anyways, The look is a little more whimsical than hers, because.. I'm in love with this set by Noodles, the daisy grown and necklace, and the pose fits really well, oldie from the zodiac by hopscotch. Pants are similar to those by Maitreya, but they're actually Blueberry. Now.. normally I'm a huge fan of anything Maitreya, but.. to be honest, I didn't like her version of the pants.. I do love these though, they have the zipper in the actual mesh map, which.. <3 and the detail of the folds in them, just total love on how they were made. Top is an oldie by Somnia. Enjoy!

I Was Walking With A Ghost, I Said Please, Please, Don't Insist.

Seems like I'm back, baby. And oh, how good it feels to be back! So.. since I feel like I've really been neglecting this while recovering, and dealing with rl, I'm going to probably be posting a lot, which I guess is good news for people like me that enjoy getting styling ideas. Right? I hope so. I guess with fashion, my number one rule is styling. So.. I wanted to created a kind of rocker outfit to go with the new R3volt military boots that are up for grabs, and I decided to also use one of their laced skirts, which have a cool lacing to them at the side. I decided to grab some old half leather leggings that screamed rock to me, and a rockabilly styled jacket from Mon Tissu, add an accent piece for a necklace, my choice was the elephant necklace from League, and some sunglasses, and.... Tadah!

The Sad Cafe

If you haven't been able to tell, there's something about melancholic songs that always captivates me. The music is so soothing, and you always feel some sort of connection to the song. Have to say, this song by the Eagles for sure was my inspiration for today.

And this awesome amazing dress too! How amazing is it? So, we're in 2013, and the new trend for this year, what's really.. really hot right now, is what they call extreme structuring. What that means is that the dress plays with geometric shapes in order to distort your body visually in a rather appealing manner. I believe this dress is like.. hitting the nail in the head when it comes to this trend. Now, MichaMi has always sort of played with this, be it lines, or the actual structure of the dress, or even the patterns, the use of her work contributes to adding a new silhouette and more dimension to your body, and it is for this reason that I absolutely adore Milla's work. The pattern of this dress also sets it apart from all others, and in all honesty, to a lot of people, when they saw it in the marketplace, it didn't really look appealing to them, but once they saw the dress on, they were fascinated at just how the sides made the contour work of the avatar really pop out in a fashion forward manner. This dress is a must for the new years, specially given the trend for this type work that is in style this year.

To style it, keep it popping,  but simple. I know.. contradiction there, but like.. the hair, instead of having it down, you might want to keep it up, in a bun, to continue with the silhouette working. I'm wearing Magika's new hair release that came out yesterday, Now. As far as a necklace is concerned, yes, you do want a statement piece, but you don't want to steal the attention away from the dress either. A choker would do nicely here, or like I did, a high necklace, that way I'm keeping the main focus on the dress, but at the same time, I'm making a statement. LaGyo's Venhia necklace was the best choice, in my opinion, given that I wanted to part from pearls for the day. And I'm also wearing their Edwige pumps and a ring by Donna Flora to finish giving the outfit the pops it needed.. and practicality, of course. Can't leave home without your shoes!

Echo Sale!

Echo is having a sale! Everything is 25L or less. I know, right! :O!

In all honesty, they do have some good stuff, and the mesh quality is good, however, it's a little too shiny for my tastes, like.. pvc shiny at times, which is kind of a huge turn off for me, but I did manage to find a good few cuties to share with you, even a non mesh shirt that I just fell in love with!

Also.. Magika. New hair. One good thing about magika.. you don't have to buy a fat pack.. it comes with an HUD that you wear, and chose your color. Not as many colors to chose from as Alice Project, and if you want to go wild with your style, you have to buy pack 2 and pack 3, but for someone like me that changes hair color often depending to skin, and I only wear kind of natural hair colors.. so pack 1 is perfect for me! Anyways, three new styles, and I'm wearing one of them today, the one that I just fell in love with.

Amazing Free Stuff. FREEEEE!

I am one of the pickiest people when it comes to clothes. I mean.. I love free stuff, but mostly, I'm disappointed over the quality, but there are some around the grid that have seriously left me with my mouth wide open.

Mojo has this amazing tanned skin as a group gift, which is odd for me, because.. well, normally I go for the paler skins, but this one is gorgeous, great makeup, and amazing detail. It's definitely worth joining the group and popping in there really quick to get it while they still have it for grabs. Group is also free to join.

Magika also has a freebie out, pretty cute hair, comes in blood style, and candy corn style. Pretty odd colors, but if you're up for the whole weird/punky look, it will for sure fit you. Mesh, and the amazing quality that normally magika has. Love the style of the hair. I just wish it came in regular colors : ( For sure will be buying it in normal colors though!

And finally, on to one of my all time favorite stores in sl. Mon Tissu. If you haven't been there, you should, probably some of the most amazing quality clothing in sl that is mesh, the detail is amazing, and the styles are.. well, urban contemporary, not with your boobs and butt hanging out like half of the other stores in sl. Cute and sophisticated and casual. You can join their group for around 1,250L I think, Mon Tissu Soiree. If you can spare the linden, it's worth it, alone on the freebies that they have you would save at least around 700L if not more. Hopefully they update it soon for more cute freebies! You also collect money with your purchases, so in time you can chose something you want to buy for free. If you're a fan of the store, this group if a must. The underwear is one of the gifts they have out for that group. Satin Lingerie in Blushing. It's cute and simple, and it's just.. so casual that I fell in love with it.

So, there you have it, a couple high quality free gifts that you can find in sl. Enjoy!
