Dayum Jeans

I don't often do solely fashion posts and I also don't do them so quick and dirty but I don't have a lot of time and I wanted to basically just post quickly - especially about these jeans but also about everything I'm wearing.

So here goes.

These are the new "Nora" Jeans from Vanilla Bae, currently available at Equal 10 until August 5th.

I do wish people would not be going to this naming convention of merely numbering the colors as I have a much harder time guessing what number 15 is in my inventory than I do snow or cloud or even just white. Since the items are not mod, I can't rename them for my own use, so it makes it difficult.

But that being said, these jeans are definitely Dayum jeans as described to me by a gentleman friend of my acquaintance. He further mentioned how good they make my butt look which I cannot help but agree. See for yourself.

On top of how great they look on, these jeans are also strippable, meaning you can allow certain people to click the jeans to gradually open them. I'll link you to Vanilla Bae's flickr ad so you can see that for yourself.

As you can see, they also come in fits for several mesh bodies. I initially bought two pair and went back and bought two more after I saw these on.

My pictures were taken at the event using the highest possible quality with no local lights. The only editing I've done was to sharpen up the snapshots after cropping and resizing then adding a little watermark.

When I got home, I decided I wanted to show off this top and hair a bit more than I had done. This top is so pretty. It's the Deja top from CandyDoll, presently at C88 until around the fifth of August.

The tops come in solids, a pack of solids or individual patterns or a pack of patterns. Due to budget constraints and the fact that I feel patterns are much less often offered, I just bought the pattern set which is huge and varied. The top also texture changes the top ruffles, the bottom band and the sleeve cuffs for the maximum mix and match possibilities. It's a really gorgeous top and I love it.

The cute hair is also an offering at Equal10 by Sintiklia and comes with the most adorable baby hairs which you can turn off and on as you please as well as a style hud to place the pony on either side or in back plus the color huds of your choice. You can also wear the hair with a pony on each side if you like.  My only quibble is the same one I often have with mesh hair in sl which is that it sometimes looks thin and that it would be improved by a tiny bit of extra flexi attachment to give it more movement. That being said, it's still a beautiful hair and I've been wearing it for 3 days now, lol.

The rest of the style notes are below. I am wearing the new magic pixie ears from Swallow currently out at Kustom9. K9 is open until August 10 for this round. Here's a link to the flickr page for these ears which are absolutely beautiful and fun to wear. I have several pairs of Swallow mesh ears and have always been happy with them.

Again the above photo was taken in ultra settings, local lights off, my usual windlight setting and the only editing was cropping, sharpening, resizing and watermarking. Poses used were merely from my ao, the Zoe full bento no face from Vista.

So...Absinthe Dreams

I'm hosting now a few times a week at this beautiful club, owned by my new adoptive family. The music is eclectic and we also have live performers there. I was really scared the first time I hosted but gradually I am getting the hang of it and finding that I enjoy it. The kind tips I receive also help my shopping addiction. ;)

You can find directions to Absinthe Dreams here, and check out their page on SocialVR here.
Especially check out the beautiful photos of the club. Like this one, taken by my big brothers Brian and Dresden.

It's been a little over a week since my last post which is longer than I usually like to go but, there's been rough spots healthwise with a lot of super bad headaches and some fibro flaring. But right now, knock wood, I'm doing pretty well.

There's also been some real highs and lows relationship wise as well. I realize now I did what I always do which is hope too hard and throw myself in heart first. I don't know that I know how to be any different... maybe this is part of my "never really grew up" thing that people comment on from time to time. I always think that love will win out, even though I have ample proof that isn't the case. I feel stupid about this and I guess it looks like I don't respect others' thoughts. If wishes were fishes and all that.

But on the upside, I've been accepted by both the Rhodes-Lescher family and by the Dame and Sin Ross family. I can't complain about that, in fact I'm very happy and grateful for their love and kindness. It feels good to be a sister again and to have that sense of belonging.

 

 I didn't take pics of myself this time for a surprise, ha, but I did take this one of Dame and I, also edited by me. I hope later to take pictures with other family members too.

More blogging soon. ♥

In this house...I do love...

I haven't been blogging much mostly cause of two things 1) I've been busy because I moved into a new place on second life and 2) my head is killing me every single day. The little imps in my skull need to give it a rest already.

There's also a new development happening in my slife which is keeping me smiling even through the pain. I keep hanging on as they say

Saw this, and yeah... it's just me in my house, but the ideas still apply.

My new home is on the Island of M., it's so beautiful there. I took some beauty shots of it.

I can't take credit for most of the decor and landscaping, that was done by the talented owner of the island. It's very private so Im not mentioning names or anything like that. My pictures were taken in super large pixel size using windlight settings from Jackson Redstar aka Jax. You can download them in a zip file here.

On this last pic though most of the decor is mine, aside from the rails, thermometer and surfboard and I like how it looks so far. :)

 Edit: 1) I changed and moved things around so now it looks like this. -  

I didn't edit the image so it its what it is, but I'm happy. This is just a gyazo shot, and ignore the chair that didn't rez completely.  LOL

Anyway. Decor is from all over so, sorry folks no credits cause I'm evil. Except that that Hey Ya'll sign is from a gacha by Brixley. I'm very fond of it.

 

Here's a couple shots of me sitting in those chairs (i changed it from this blue teal to white) gotta love porch sitting.
