What am I leaving when I am done here?

The news of the death of Autumn Rose hit me harder than expected, given that I do not know her personally. It made me think of what I would leave behind if I died tomorrow, how spend my time on in SL, which is work, work, work and more work. I work so much that I barely have time to make a human connection, other than work related ones, and if that isn’t what SL is for – making connections – then what is it for? I realized that only about 4 people from SL would know I was gone, and that’s because we’re connected outside of SL. It has really put things in perspective for me, and I’ll definitely be making some changes in order to socialize more and not just fill my SL with work.

If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing to do is wake up

Don’t let someone dim your light, simply because it is shining in their eyes

Autumn is the season to find contentment at home by paying attention to what we already have

The days are really getting colder here, and I’ve broken out my favorite sweater – and not just in Second Life! Outside it still looks like spring, but the colder winds definitely tells a different story. I honestly love this time of year, bringing out the warmer cozy clothing, scarves and coats, tea and soup! ❤
If someone asked me to name a favorite season, I wouldn't know what to pick, because I love them all. Each season has its beauty.

My sweater dress is from Kaithleen’s and comes in a wide array of colors – and with stripes. You can also color the neckline and dress separately. ♥ It has a beautiful open back, which you can get a glance at in the ad photo below the credits. ♥ Kaithleen’s has also recently released a great outfit for the men at Cosmpolitan! My man tried it on and we both loved it. Don’t miss out, guys! ♥

Today, I’ve been going wild at Uber and spent way too much (as usual), but there are just so many lovely releases. Foxcity has released this really cozy backdrop cabin and pose set including this awesome hanging chair and a cup to match the poses – the chair contains the poses as well, so you can just sit and pick which pose you want ♥ – this poser maker just keeps taking it to the next level. ♥ I love watching her grow and expand.

Truth has worked his magic again and given us the adorable Aislin hair and I’ve immediately added it to my favorite button on the toolbar. ♥ It has 10 different styles, mirror versions included and three different sizes for each one. Did I mention I am totally addicted to Truth? ♥ Not just because of his hairs, but once I lost nearly all my hairs and spend hours putting a NC together (this was before redelivery was common) where I was wearing the hairs I lost, Truth was the first to reach out with a helping hand and put a massive amount of L$s in my credit to replace some of them. That is truly something I appreciate and value, and will never forget – a creator with an exceptionally kind heart. ♥

Bueno is also at Uber, and released these cute boots that are just my style – I love the loose fitting in boots like these, and I immediately fatpacked them. ♥
Sole and boot can be colored separately. ♥ I can’t really say much about these other than they are perfection. ♥

Dust Bunny has released a cute branch coat hanger and umbrella holder at Uber too, and I am in love. ♥ I love naturally looking creations with wood that isn’t necessarily completely straight up and down. ♥ The coat hanger comes in four different colors; gold, black, white and light pink. The umbrella stand also comes in the same four matching colors. ♥

Whispers of Love

Spring is yet again on the way after a long, dark and cold winter, and it’s time to bring on the fresh, light and new! Which is also why I have finally gotten rid of “wordpress.com” and moved onto .blog, and in the upcoming weeks, you guys my see my blog theme change a few times, since I am trying out different themes to personalize my blog even more. ♥

Today, I am bringing you guys news from Cae, Runaway Hair and Neve! All light, fresh and lovely to suit any spring day. Cae has the cute Lydia collection out at Cosmopolitan right now, and I love it. The set comes with 3 layer necklace, with the option to hide some of them. as well as two different sets of earrings. Long, beautiful heart earrings with a pearl in the end, as well as cute studs in the shape of flowers.

Runaway Hair has this light summerdo out at Shiny Shabby, and I am in love. This hair reminds me of spring breezes and warm sun. It’s so natural and cute – and as always I LOVE the way Runaway makes materials, her reflections are nothing short of gorgeous!

Neve, I feel, is a highly underappreciated brand that always creates such lovely, feminine outfits. The creator of Fateplay (I really miss Fateplays fantasy outfits!)has created Neve, a brand I feel is wonderfully down to earth and modest in many ways, which I really like personally, but also manages to keep the feminity. The top I am wearing below, Connelly which is out at Tres Chic, is a finely knit top that ends just below the breast, and then a fine, sheer (or opaque if you prefer that) shirt with cute 3/4 sleeves – also in partially knit/sheer. Combine it with a cute pair of shorts and you’re all set for spring.♥
