A Burst Of Colour

1 21Shoes My Attic - A

I do love a splash of colour in my SLife. I’ve mentioned before my aversion to black clothing in SL (although it is the main colour I wear in the real one). I adore bright yellows and hot pinks mixed together. Throw in a touch of electric blue or a deep purple, and I’m rainbow-delighted. I don’t often go as bright as this outfit, but most of the time you will see me wearing some colour, whether it is the main element of my outfit or as an accent. Wearing colours gives me a mood boost, whether I am feeling blue and need a lift or even if I’m already in the pink and just need a bit of extra zing.

Oh, I did throw in a bit of black – the boots from KoiKoi from the first 21Shoe event. See? Even I will compromise my colour-craze sometimes 😉

I was displaying my recessive blonde gene and accidentally deleted my list of credits 😦 I’ll do my best to include what I can and I’ll update when I get in world later today.

Shopping Nirvana

1 21Shoes & My Attic

Happiness may be a warm puppy, but it’s also a two-for-one shoe sale on the same day I visited My Attic @ The Deck! As you can see, I was positively giddy after my latest shopping excursion. And who can blame me? My boots, the Cream version of Eudora 3D’s Coffee & Cream Edition for the inaugural 21Shoe event are sparkly-new and oh-so-cute. And don’t forget about my new hairstyle by MINA, cashmere top and comfy yoga pants (each one of a pair in the sets) by *Fishy Strawberry* and my pose set by {NanTra}, all nabbed at My Attic. Two stops, all this goodness (plus more I haven’t shown…yet 😉 )

Now I can just lie back and fall asleep, dreaming happily of shopping nirvana.

Unfortunately, 21Shoe is a one-day only sales event, so if you missed it this month be sure follow the 21Shoe blog or join the in-world group to keep up to date. (I’ll grab the link and update my blog when I get in SL later, or you can find it in the Groups in my Profile).

Just a quick note of advice: be careful about carrying on a conversation while posing oneself. I accidentally let my mouse slip and shot myself across the sim o.O The things I put myself through for a happy snap!

Three-Six-Five

1 365_038

Yesterday was a big day for my little blog. It turned one year old. It was also the day with the highest number of views since I started. I am humbled and thankful to everyone who has stopped by over the past year, whether the casual viewer or the dedicated friend.

Since I did a retrospective for the New Year, I’m just going to sit back and give myself a wee pat on the back for hitting this milestone. Yes, it would have happened whether I was an active blogger or if I had just opened the account and let this page languish. But I have spent a lot of hours photographing, processing, sweating, laughing and crying for this tiny little mark on the interwebs. I am sending out big hugs to those people who have been with me since the beginning and have joined me along the way. You know who you are; if you are reading this post, you may consider yourself hugged ❤

The photo has nothing to do with an anniversary edition. I just felt like dressing up and looking pretty. No shame in admitting I think I am pretty; it’s my party and I’ll preen if I want to.

Happy Anniversary to me!
