I’m Awake!

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!

Questionable Fortune

1-questionable-fortune-sm

She walks into the foyer of the decrepit theatre, her pulse throbbing in her throat, her heart pounding in her chest. She hears a sound – a low whisper, perhaps? Or just the wind creaking through the dilapidated walls? She freezes, the whisper now resembling a quiet moan. Then as she peers to her right, she sees eyes in the darkness blink once, twice, three times. As an eerie glow begins to emanate from behind an ancient carnival machine, its inhabitant raises a hand and with a gnarled finger beckons her forward. Trembling, she remains in her spot, fearful of her questionable fortune.

What is not questionable is the deal you will get on this skirt from *Just BECAUSE* at the October round of No21. Each pack comes with two versions – a colour-match waistband on one and a brown waistband on the other.

Don’t trust the answers you get from a has-been fortune teller in a tumbledown playhouse; look no further than the credits below.

Lazy Autumn Stroll

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.
