Do You Like It? Keep Doing It.

{Taken at Dystopia}

Sometimes I have this thing with blogging, it's almost like an overflow of ideas. I have so many pictures in mind but at the same time...the set up, the outfit, finding the time is always a factor. 
I don't know if any of my fellow bloggers can relate to that. Sometimes by the time I'm even ready to take the picture, someone has blogged something similar and then I will just toss the entire idea out. I know, I know...I've been told many times I should just take the damn picture anyway but I just can't. The worst thing is to be accused of copying someone when you haven't....believe me, I know that from personal experience. There are people I take notes from and by 'take notes', I mean..I try to break down their editing skills and apply them to my own skills that I've already learned. Is that bad? No. I don't think so at least. I myself am all too willing to share any skills I've learned. And just how some blogs love to brag that they don't edit. I brag that I do. I don't edit my sponsored items but if I want to mess with lighting or focus, blur, etc..I have the programs and the tablet to make it happen. It's part of my enjoyment in blogging, we all do it in different ways, as long as you enjoy what you're doing that's all that matters.
Same with my style of clothes. If I like what I am wearing, that's pretty much all that matters. Everyone styles differently. Everyone thinks they look amazing but SL has definitely underlined the 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' saying for me. What you think looks amazing, might look like a big ass mess to me & vice versa. So all you can go by is your own perspective, as I do mine.
My reasons for bringing all of this about is that in one of my groups the other day, I saw a question about blogging and I saw this person being flooded with bad information. I just watched and read, I wasn't about to be lost amongst the others chatting there.
All I really wanted to say was,  1. If you're blogging for an SLebrity status or to get free things, you're wasting your time. While you have one sponsor giving you their newest release, you will realize quickly that you have to buy most things around those few sponsored items. It costs money to blog. It is NOT free. It costs personal time. And that's not all. Wall blogging is awesome but it takes a special skill to stand there and get all the views and favs you want. I think Petra Messiopetra is one of my favorite Flickr bloggers that can stand in front of a wall and make you gawk. There are many more too but she is one of the ones I takes notes from.
2. I As long as you like it, keep doing it. Don't let anyone change it. Don't let other bloggers get you down. We're in an ever rotating blogger world. They come, they go, they rise to the top, they fall. It's how it works. So do it all simply because you enjoy it.
And these are all things I still practice myself mind you. Things I tell myself when discouraged or overwhelmed.  "Do You Like It? Keep Doing It."

Okay okay end rant. This is a late blog as I was super sick the past few days but I'm doing alright now <3 
So I hope everyone has made it to all the events including The Fantasy Collective because there is a ton of badassery there including this hair I am wearing! Reminded me lots of Yolandi so tuuune in like a few secs here <3

Mother Night

{Taken at Ironwood Hills}

Well hello again! 
So glad we're nearing the end of the week, it's been a long one. 
The events that have opened recently have been pretty awesome! I hope you've all had a chance to make it to them. Don't worry, I will have them linked below for you to pop over and play grabby hands. 
Glam Affair released several different skin tones for the Lelutka Mesh head and I have to say, I am in love with so many of them! Here is a closie of the different shades.


The one I am wearing in the picture is #14, a rare and so very gorgeous. For my pale skinned lovers, this is one you will want. With that fierce eyeliner on such porcelain skin, it definitely is a head turner! Maybe it's just me, maybe not but the eyebrows seem to have changed too. Fuller, fluffier and more defined...all things that none of us women mind!
I won't talk your pretty lil heads off tonight as I still have such things to show you. But I will be back again really soon. 
Luv you all, enjoy the rest of your week! <3

Hello luvs! 
Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend. Mine has been a relaxing one, which is just what I needed after an all too long work week AND catching some darn cold! *sneezes* It's okay, I am feeling a little better now!
Remarkable Oblivion released these awesome shoes for Kustom 9 and I hope everyone has been over there and snagged them! I fell in love with them. Can't take them off! Especially my darklings. The heel of the shoe is an adorbs little coffin and they inspired my picture here. It's just a quick one. Something sexy, something creepy...just like my heels lol. 
With only a couple of days till Autumn and Halloween just around the corner, all things creepy are about to start flooding in! I for one, am so excited for it! I look forward to seeing and taking many creepy pictures. Speaking of, definitely check out the lil cemetery I ran into! Small, quiet, lag free and decorated pretty awesome for all your graveyard pics! Linked right under my pic above <3

The Watchmakers Apprentice




Hello Lords & Ladies!
There's nothing I love more than a Steampunk post! Okay...well, a Goth post too. Okay, okay there's several things I love but anyway as you all know Steampunk is one of the absolute favs!
There's a lil event that just opened recently it's the Mesh Avenue- Sepsteamber Steampunk Event and it runs from the 10th through the 30th so you have some time to go in there and browse around. I know there are several cute things you will love all over and this outfit is one of them! The boots that are available are also so cute. Here's a closie...


I love the detail in these boots. The embroidery is very realistic! Petite Mort is definitely one of the stops you will want to make. Oh and check out the whole sim! It is quite gorgeous with its airships and other little sights to enjoy.

So in case it isn't obvious, I should say that I edited the dress in the top pic to look like it was draped over my knee. Mesh in Second Life isn't friendly enough to work with us like that but I had a picture in mind and I couldn't see it happening it any other way. So there you go!
I have lots to show so I will be seeing you again shortly! <3333

All Things Witchy



This trend has been on for awhile though more recently in our Second Life....it seems to have caught fire! It's a good thing because it is a good style. When it's done good, it can be amazing!
I fell in love with American Horror Story when I finally gave it a chance. AHS:Coven was season three of the show and I swear it helped push this style right along. Creepy school girl kinda look? Pretty much! With school starting up, it was something that had to be done.
So Livid released this awesome lil gacha with so many goodies that you will need. If you haven't been there already. They should match perfectly with everything you will be snagging at Collabor88 which just opened at 12am SLT!
I was also sure to include the awesome RARE owl by Remarkable Oblivion which is at The Arcade this round. He's such a little cutie!
The awesome skin I am in is by Glam Affair featured at We <3 Roleplay this round. There are several different Lelutka appliers, this was one of my favs and it fit the picture well.
I wont keep you long today, as there are just a ton of things I want to show you and another blog post already in the works!  Have fun shopping and see you all soon! <3

Things I Will 'Cutesy' For



I don't do 'cutesy' often. In fact, when I do 'cutesy', I question myself and how well I did it. In this case, I was so in love with this little look. I was so in love with the outfit and the shoes and it all seemed to just fall in place.
I have to admit that I was also listening to Kyary lots and so she was a lot of my inspiration! She is so darn adorbs. Her style in general is. THIS style is!
It's Friday though and I have a long weekend ahead, which I am soo thankful for! I look forward to getting in some more bloggage and showing you all the different ways to play with the pretty stuff <3
Until then, happy shopping and have a great weekend!! <3
