I’ll Lean On You

1-ill-lean-on-you-sm

Friend or lover, it’s important to have someone to lean on. Even if it’s yourself.

Apple May Designs has released this sexy jumpsuit for Sad November. While I chose black, it comes in other colours. It has deep v-neckline and wonderful draping. The event runs through November 28th, so make sure you stop by.

The pose I chose is from Luane’s World for The Liaison Collaborative. It is one of four friends/couples unisex poses in the BFF Series, which is so very fitting for the Bountiful Harvest round. In addition to the regular designers, each has been allowed to invite a guest. In some cases both designers have their own offerings, in others they have collaborated and sometimes both.

I recommend taking a friend along; you’ll need someone to lean on by the time you’re done.

Warm At Twilight

1-warm-at-twilight-sm

Usually when I am doing a Home & Garden post, I build a set, shoot the photos and immediately take everything down. It’s not that I don’t like the looks I create; rather, I am generally just trying to be tidy and clear the space for the next go around. This time, however, while collecting the credits, I plopped down on the sofa with a sigh. I’m not sure exactly why I did it; it might be because the sofa from .. Warm Animations .. for Shiny Shabby looked so inviting. Perhaps it was because this room has a different feel than most of my settings (slightly more masculine, don’t you think?) Or possible it was because it was a chilly day for spring and the sun had just set in my real world and I simply wanted a comfortable spot to rest my bones.

Whatever the reason, I sat back and relaxed, quiet at home, warm at twilight.
