Future

1-future-sm

While 2017 is still in the future for a lot of you, it arrived here nine hours ago for me with little fanfare. I chose to stay home and away from the crowds (and drunks) this time. I heard the fireworks at both 9pm (the family fireworks tradition) and again at midnight. But I was dreaming not long afterwards of a better year to come.

Here is wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2017. The future is our best hope as we try to create the best present ever.

I’m Awake!

1-willow-sm

I had a busy weekend in Second Life, so forgive me if I stop to take a little snooze. My new sombrero from JfL Hats is perfect for keeping the sun out of my eyes while I enjoy a little shuteye. It’s just as handy for covering your eyes if you are surreptitiously checking out whomever is walking past 😉

My outfit is from *Just BECAUSE*, and while I chose to showcase a standard colour, do hurry over to pick up the skeleton bone versions if you need a fast Halloween costume. The bodysuit, straps and leggings are separate pieces (although sold as a set) so you can mix and match for a variety of looks. Both my hat and outfit are main store releases, so wake up and get out there to do some in-store shopping!

Lazy Autumn Stroll

1-lazy-autumn-stroll-sm

Autumn is my favourite time for taking a walk. With the nip in the air, it is always best to have a big, warm guy to tag along. There is no need to hurry; dawdling is encouraged.

There are tons of new autumn-appropriate items floating around the grid this month. Starting with me, the dress from *Just BECAUSE* comes with a bolero to keep your arms nice and snug. The leg warmers from fri.day keep my legs toasty and the hat from JfL keeps the heat from seeping out of my head.

Chance has a totally new look (see below for all of his meshy wonderfulness), including the jacket/shirt combination from VRSION. Given my appalling lack of male fashion sense, I was thrilled to see this combo and sent Chance running to TMD to pick it up. He has even grown a beard for the season, compliments of an awesome group gift from NO.MATCH!

On to the scene…I am in love with the bicycle prop from {what next}. With a basket chock-full of pumpkins, it is perfect for a fall setting. With contributions from Apple Fall and Kalopsia, plus the finishing touch of the wrought iron fence from Botanical, we found the ideal spot to rest on our lazy autumn walk.
