Snuggly Sweater

Not much text just wanted to show the NEW Graffitiwear Snuggly Sweater. Aww, feels so comfy on these cold evenings. It comes in many colours, but showing Tan, my fav.

Using one of the poses from the NEW Juxtapose 'Too Shy' pose set.

Zaara sweaters and a bottle....

Yesterday my friend Kooky showed me the Abranimations Mocap Drunk AO, which is a Xmas gift and comes with drunk AO and Bottle of wine with drink animation. Is too funny and I had so much fun wearing it. It looks sooo real.

Anyway I decided to blog the awesome Xmas gift of Zaara: a sweater male and female, in resp. green and red. Zaara makes awesome clothes so yeah also these nice sweaters fit super, they come with a collar/shawl and sleeve prims.  
Of course I had to adjust the sleeves of the male one a bit, but I do wanna show you coz it's a super sweater. I love the wrinkles, aww they both look so real. Thanks Zaara for your kind gift!

Innsmouth

Innsmouth is a fictional town in the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, a horror writer who was active in the 1920s and 1930s.

Its SL counterpart is a dark, damp, grungy, rusty place with perpetual rain; an abandoned, antique town full of atmosphere, melancholy and weirdo things. Very nicely made with lots of details and a few surprises. 

It's a place that warrants exploration and is extremely photogenic, so I went there and met Nakula at the entrance of the sim. We decided to explore together. Now Nakula is studying the work of H.P. Lovecraft in RL and a big fan. So hey, what better guide could I wish ;-)

I show you some pics to give you an idea of the place. 

Best, however, is to go and explore yourselves. Taxi to Innsmouth.

Romantic Dreams a sim for romance

When you like beautiful (blossom) trees, horse riding and a sim full of romantic places (picknick, dance floor with fountain, many cuddle balls, etc) visit Romantic Dreams. It's so nice.

I was there exploring with Michiel and we sticked to the horse riding ;-)

Here's your taxi to Romantic Dreams

Enjoy!

Drowsy

Smiling and me visited the isle of Drowsy, which is actually a shopping area. You find shops there of the Japanese designers  Kurotsubaki, BP, and Zero Number. But the isle is far too beautiful to visit only the shops and demands to be explored. We started yesterday Smiling and me and today I finished exploring.   

Some areas are a kind of fairytale town/forest (Dickens like). When you enter you walk the cobbled narrow main street with many surprises behind the doors. A narrow alley leading to a library, a deserted Zoo (take the apple and see what happens), cross a sewer and be surrounded by butterflies, enjoy yourselves at the abandoned playground, ... so many many things to do and discover at Drowsy.

The sim is tasteful (use of colour scheme, theme and composition) and definitely made with an eye for detail. I could not find any information/notecard about the isle on the sim itself, so I decided to google. I found usefull information on f.i. this Linden site. 

But hey go and explore yourselves. Enjoy!

Who's afraid of blue and purple?

MINA opened a new store (picture taken there) and has several 1 L$ opening gifts hidden. One of them is the Lotte brown hair I am wearing. But also the cute black/white top in the back of the picture is a 1L$ item as are several others. Success hunting ladies.

I am also wearing an oldtime favourite, the Zaara Xacuti wrap top. Now in lilac-turquoise version, which I bought today for little money at the Blue Dressing Room. Awesome!

Last but not least:

I received an NC from Mischief in which Janie Marlowe explained this is her last sale in Mischief history. She will stop with the Mischief lable and start something new.

Meanwhile all outfits and dresses marked down to 90L (greedy packs for 180L) and all single items marked to 50L (greedy packs for 100L). Not sure how long the sale will last. 

I am wearing the MIS Up and Down skirt Blueberry.

Skin: League Suntan Smokey

Bracelet: MandalaTakara bracelet buddha blue

He said: 'Dido, you will like this place, can take nice pics there'. Soooo I went and this is the result ;-)

In the first 2 pictures I used AM Radio windlight, love the weirdo effect.

leather jacket

This weekend I spent far too much money on clothes. I had been such a brave girl over the last weeks, but.... well must have been the autumn weather (wind, rain) that inspired me to go shopping in SL. And because of the fact that I spent lots of Linden dollars I now feel the obligation to blog about at least some of the items I bought ;-)

As I love the picture shown above I decided to start with the Aoharu black leather jacket. I combined this new item with my black Zaara slacks, the Coco (Update group gift) belt, a simple top, a pair of sunglasses and my fri-day red Deena hair, giving me exactly the look I like 'Dido style'.

Formal night

Last night (Tuesday, 25th August) was formal night at Key West Resort (The Wave). Lovely to notice that everybody had dressed up.

I was wearing my Zaara evening gown. I went there with my Canadian friend Wordsmith, who of course wore a tux. I let him choose the colour of my dress: red it was.

We had great fun, lovely music, walzing the night away. Well that was until Words had to leave.

There was a best dressed contest and guess what..... Yeah I won, split 1st place with Loriii (she is the girl in the white dress dancing behind me on the picture above).

I was happy with the price: 500 L$ wow! Thanks to all who voted for me, among them a girl who IM-ed me before the voting started and said 'I will vote for you, you look stunning, you European girls beat us'). I had to think of my friend Nereisse who describes herself as 'classy non-American (or at least loves being called one ^_^) in her blog.
