The Rosy Side of Things

There's a time for music and there's also a time for relaxation! Of course this post is purely one just for fun, no sponsors, just myself and the Luxe Box from August. I can't wait for another round of Luxe Box, I hope that it would be more structures than just clothing, but that is just me! I love structures and trying new things out on SL for my home and backyard.. which by the way the only way I would have had this hammock is because of Striker, my brother. He wonderfully set up my backyard into this gorgeous garden/beach! Happy Shopping <3

There is nothing better than finding a new store to make a person use the credit cards like crazy! Thanks to my sister Kahrm, I have discovered the wonderful store of Mimikri! Mimikri is a unique Cosmopolitan and pin up style store that I could just stay in all day and probably make myself broke in no time. Needless to say, thank you Karhm for giving me this cute outfit! <3 Happy Shopping!

I am taking a black and white film class in RL and I have recently learned about composition and structures with definitive lines. I have purchased a Nikon N65, an apparently older camera but with a brand new lens. My instructor appernetely approves of my choice and I honestly can not wait until I get out there tomorrow for my assignment. Learning to manually do things on a camera is exciting, gives one control over how the picture turns out. Also, a piece of art. Unique to each individual. Besides my rambling... I have a couple of things for my readers today! First and foremost we have Delirium with a cute flower pin in the hair which is exclusively at Lost and Found Exclusives! What is great about this flower set is that my readers have the choice between six different types of settings for them to appear. Happy Shopping <3

Needless to say, I am learning slowly but surely thanks to Skyra. What would I do without him? This photo is only brought to my readers by Rosy and Skyra with COMBINED (cough) forces. As he would disagree with haha. Today's sponsor item would be the outfit that I am wearing which include the top and bottom that is by Legal Insanity which is exclusively at the Shiny Shabby Event! In the meantime... I think I am going to dive into some college work! Of course back to school would make me excited... for now that is. Happy Shopping! Also.. I can't get enough of these bow heels! They are my absolute favorite! <3

For this post today, I have the Luxe Box and the Arcanum as my primary focus. Special mention to Delirium for these pants which are available at the main store of Delirium! First and foremost I have this top from the Luxe Box which I love because in the back there are ties that hold it together which give it a sexy feeling. Last but not least I have some information about the Arcanum which sounds like a great shopping spree to be honest... If I had the Lindens that is! The place that I am located is at the Arcanum (one of my favorite places to take a picture) and there are a ton of shops to look at!

Talk about sexy classy. For the sake of keeping my blog PG 13 I had to use a certain pose from Something New while using my rated R Delirium item that I just couldn't resist. First and foremost we have an item from Delirium that is not only see through (which is what transforms a post immediately from PG 13 to R) but has a hud as well to switch different types of textures. My readers can pick this up at the main store of Delirium! Next up we have this pose which is part of many different poses to show off accessories and other assorted things such as tattoo's. My readers can get these poses from Thrift Shop exclusively! Last but not least I have a couple of items from the August Luxe Box! This hair and of course heels are from the luxe box which I have to say that I absolutely am in love with! Happy Shopping <3

I love it when one of my sponsors creates something that I would enjoy wearing in real life, Legal Insanity has made a tank top and high waisted shorts that would make any girl want to scream happily. This tank top has many different colors and the shorts that go along with it also come in different colors as well, but also comes in different types of textures! Needless to say, mix and match is definitely in order thanks to Legal Insanity, and my readers can find these at the Tres Chic Event! Special mention to Delirium (I have found many of Delirium's shoes to be my favorites especially with outfits) for the cute flip flops that are available at the main store of Delirium! Happy Shopping <3

I have bought myself some new dance moves, which I have to say I am enjoying quite well. I got tired of all those normal dances, and I quite enjoy hopping on others chimeras and dance! Of course, sometimes (more than most) people have huds that aren't visible anymore, but I tend to be a bit old school when it comes to Second Life. Simpler is better. Today I bring my readers some fun things from the Luxe Box! This is my first time purchasing the Luxe Box, but I have to say... good designers with high quality things... what's not to like? Special mention to my sponsor Delirium for these heels that are at the main store of Delirium. Happy Shopping <3

Ahhhhhh... if only I had a supplement that was something like coffee (less kick in the face and disgusting-ness) and brought great satisfaction. For me, that would be relaxing in a garden and forgetting everything and observing nature. Watching other organisms do their own lives instead of doing anything. My ideal relaxation technique isn't very accomplished at home or on an normal Texan day (humidity ruins it), but that is what I truly love to do. Anyways, while I am relaxing in the garden that my brother Striker had constructed for me (thanks <3) I have a few items that may be of interest to my readers! First and foremost I have Something New with this pose that I am using that has three or four other poses along with it! each pose is a little different and can accent whatever part of the body one is trying to focus on. My readers can find this at the main store of Something New! Last but not least, the boots that I am wearing are from Delirium which can be found at the main store of Delirium <3 Happy Shopping, kick back and relax with me! 

Thanks Dad for making me think of good times whenever I hear the Eagles... I correlate it with relaxation now. Here's to you. RIP.

I guess one could say that this is the official wedding pictures of Rosetta Shackleton and Skyra Flux! I took the opportunity from my sponsor Something New whom had some great wedding poses to use them as an excuse to get our avatars officially hitched in Second Life. I know I didn't invite anyone to this 'occasion' but trust me, this was more picturesque than ceremonial. At least now I have pictures right? Haha. Thanks Ally! Now, the pictures that I have are in order with the poses that I have listed below for easier identification. My readers can pick up these three separate poses (they do not come together) at the Pose Lover & Friends Event which opens up the 15th of this month! Happy Shopping <3 

P.S. Special thanks to Striker for the new furniture and animals for the back yard... he knows how much I love to decorate! <3

My husband and I have constructed our desks, our makeshift office in our home is coming together nicely, a place where both of us can focus without the temptation of falling back into bed and taking a 'short nap'. Needless to say, a proper place for college and my gaming habits that my husband and I share together. I'm just happy that he doesn't have to sit on the floor anymore, and that he gets his prize computer instead of a P.O.S. laptop (that has misfired all of its life that I understand). Today my sponsor item is this pose that I am using which is a pack of four or five poses that can be used with this lovely cigarette. These poses are available at the Thrift Shop exclusively! Special mention to Delirium (my sponsor) for these sneakers that I am sporting, I just can't get enough of them! They are also available at the main store of Delirium. Get em while they are hot! <3 Happy Shopping!

Pose: Lost In Thought 2 by Something New @ Thrift Shop

After figuring out my land, I discovered that apparently I have some tracks in the back yard! Of course, thanks to Something New's marketplace hunt, this was fairly easy to figure out with map and magnifying glass. Haha, all jokes aside, this pose is available as a hunt item which can be found at the marketplace link (I will have it below) so my readers can snag that! Next up on the list we have Legal Insanity with two different items that are both located at the Anybody Event Exclusively! The top has different types of textures but of course my favorite would have to be the yoga one, since I do pilates. Then of course my readers can choose between different types of rugged looks for the jean skirt as well! Happy Shopping <3

Holy Schomozes.... anyone remember this song? Haha. I had some fun digging up older songs that I didn't even realize where of certain singers! There are certainly a ton of songs that I remember that are in the back of my mind that I don't know the artists too. So, whenever I find one of them, I try to remember and play it whenever I can. Anyways, this post for today is simply something fun thanks to the Arcanum! I got this idea originally from the last blog post that I did, but I had to post pone the idea until I had some time. Hopefully later on I can show my readers the neat auras that all the huds at the Arcanum have to offer! Who says magic can't be photogenic? Special mention of this pose which is my sponsor Something New which is still at the main store of Something New! Happy Shopping <3

Not only did I get my friends onto Second Life for this, but I finally got an up to date picture of Striker! For those that have been following his progress (an incredibly select few), Striker had been having issues with finding certain body parts and items to complete his look. Which as a long time Second Life player, can take quite a long time to figure out what way you would like to look after so many years of being here. Sooner or later, Striker will be the most fashionable of the group! Haha. Anyways, I thoroughly enjoy the company of many of my friends, including the tight circle (shown above) of my closest friends and others in Second Life that will probably be introduced sooner or later! Down to the details, I have some new kicks (literally) from Delirium which is available at the main store for sale. Then of course we have these pants that I am wearing which could only be from the one and only Legal Insanity which is exclusively available at the Crossroads event, which speaking of, the top I am wearing as well (also Legal Insanity, just separate item) is exclusively available at the Crossroads event as well! This is the perfect combination of casual that I would actually probably wear in my RL. Kick back in some flip flops, V neck T shirt, and of course some kind of cargo or jeans/shorts. Last but not least I have Something New with this pose that my friends and I are using! This pose is available at the main store of Something New that my readers can have fun doing poses with. Take note, that I have only used three of the five poses that can be used. Special thanks to Arcanum for the great gazebo that I got to use for this <3  Happy Shopping!
