1 So Not A Fashion Model

I have never considered myself a fashion blogger. That’s probably ironic since I mainly blog Second Life fashion. But other than Johnfrancis Laville of JfL Hats, I don’t blog for any fashion designers, other than those who are in the few events I blog for. And Johnfrancis is primarily a men’s designer.

So imagine my surprise when I received notification that I had been nominated for an Avi Choice Award for Favorite Fashion Blogger. I was stunned, shocked even, and not just a little bit excited. I never imagined that I would receive a nomination for an award for my blogging. I have always just done it because it is fun. I have always tried to blog only when I felt that I could do justice to what I was blogging, whether it is home & garden, poses, a location or fashion, and that is why I haven’t been blogging as frequently as I used to. I am usually too tired during the week to do a photograph justice, so I content myself with a couple of shoots on the weekend that I can live with. Even then, more shots end up in the bin than land on this page.

Voting opened yesterday for the Avi Choice Awards. I am honoured to be in the company of nominees such as Strawberry Singh, Harper Beresford, Love Trill, Lucie Bluebird, Oakley Foxtrot and of course, my lil Cao. Many of the other 29 bloggers I have never had the fortune to read. But I am humbled to be in the company of those who inspired someone enough to nominate them.

I have no idea who nominated me. Whomever it was, I thank you. I am under no illusion that I will win, but I am touched by the recognition of being someone’s Favourite Fashion Blogger, especially considering I am so NOT a fashion model ❤

Voting is open until 3pm SLT on December 8th. If you would like to cast your vote, you can do it on the Avi Choice Fashion Awards blog.

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!
