~You are my sunshine



I love sunflowers, my wifey Ally, she loves sunflowers. It's also the state flower of Kansas where I live. When I put this new release dress on by No Name called Oceana and played with the hud and saw that it had sunflowers I squealed with delight and was like OH MY! I need to wear this! I snuck over to Ally's place and stood before her sunflowers to model this beautiful dress.



Thrift Shop ends in just 2 days (May 30th), The pose I am using is by Image Essentials called "Clutch" I am not a big clutch/purse fan in real life so it's hard for me to be in SL too, lol but the poses worked for me without the clutch in my hand. This is a set of 8 poses with 8 mirror poses too. Quite a deal.






While standing and admiring the pretty flowers to beautiful butterflies landed on my hand. I was so surprised, I love butterflies and they remind me of my mom. This pose that is at Spring Fling that also ends on May 30th. This pose is called Flutterby which is one of the rare gacha's found at this event. The nail polish I am wearing is a new release by La Boheme called [LB Flora]





I decided to take a break from preening and walked over to my daughter's house. Madi and Mark just moved into their house and are trying to finish decorating but I dragged my wonderful son in law away for a few minutes so he could pose for me. I have him using the Distinguished pose also by Image Essential Poses and Props.





Of course, no outfit is complete without the most perfect hair which is by Doe, called Foxy. Doe formerly known as .ploom is at this round of My Attic @ The Deck which ends May 31st. It's amazing the new look and the polished new hud. I'm very impressed with her new look. The shoes are also by No Name, called Oasis, they come with a hud so you can truly mix and match these with the dress or other clothes!

(and darn my foot was sunk into the ground.. grr!)

~2 Chez: Awesome New Releases


*•.♥.•* 2 Chez Carrie Ann*•.♥.•*




Gigi has a new release called Carrie Ann. This outfit comes with boot cut jeans for both HIGH and MID slink feet which is very exciting. You not only get a pair of jeans that fits two styles of slink feet but you get 2 styles of mules (one for high and one for mid feet). You also get a sexy little sweater number to complete this look. All for the low price of 199L. Yes you heard me, 199L for jeans, 2 pairs of shoes AND a sweater. O



h and the jeans? They're hudded so you get 8 kinds of jeans really with this price. Woot. We know how I love my hudded clothes! 


Because the jeans have kind of a bell bottom look to them you couldn't really see the mule shoes so I took a picture of the shoes so you could see how adorable they are and can be worn with other summery type of outfits.



And of course, you can't dress without the RIGHT nail polish right? So I dug out my pretty pagan polish from BCreative Wilde of Dark Passion Nails, painted my nails and my tosies with this! I was very excited to see that she continued her metallic look with these beauties with a nice pagan symbol on them. I am very charmed by this polish.



Pose used: Something New Poses and Props: Check out my shoes *Pose 3* Pack comes with 6 different poses.

~Family Time

Starting May 15th 2015 until June 5th a new unusual event is hitting the grid. Le Petit Faire. A Family event. This event has goodies for both Mum and Dad as well as the wee little ones. My Libby and Charlie were so excited that they had to apply to be a blogger for this event, their excitement got me excited so I applied to and to our happiness all three of us were excepted. Phew! Let me tell you, there are some pretty fantastic designers at this event. I bet everyone will find something!



As we have begun to prepare for LPF, and the kids very excited at the thought of being pet owners of a new puppy, Charlie asked his Daddy what he could do to help. Sadly for Charlie it was to mow the yard. To me I think this is slave labor, but I suppose we have to start teaching them at a young age about responsible. The kids do want a puppy so I guess if Charlie can mow the yard, he can pick up the poo and be responsible. This pose is called Dad's Mower by Something New Poses and Props. We're very amused by it, and it's a wonderful showing of bonding between father and son. (I'm sorry Charlie!)  To the right of Cedric is a lemonade urn that's available at the Faire also and it's by Loco.Motion called Springtime Lemonade Urns comes in both Strawberry Lemonade as well as regular Lemonade. You can see a better picture of these on my children's blog post here: Charlie and Libby






So while the men were bonding over lemonade and lawn mowing, Libby and I decided that we wanted to fly our new kite. Sadly for us the wind decided to pick up and it tried to take my little girl away. Oh what a panic I flew in to! How stressful, but I got her down and phew! I was so happy. You can see more on Libby's look here: Staying Grounded


The dress that I am wearing is by Zoey's Closet. This is a creator I haven't seen before, but she's someone I'm going to keep my eye on.

~Dreamer

I'm just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those Who will come after us ...
This time






There's something in the air, wanting to feel pretty. I decided to wander some of my landmarks and found this beautiful sim called Pandora's Box of Dreams which made me think of a beautiful dreamer. I had wanted something edgy for this new release by No Name called Bonnie but once I stepped onto this sim I knew I was where I needed to be, after all I am a dreamer and lately my world has been filled with hopes and dreams of a very happy future.




This shows the outfit a little bit better. Comes with a hud so you can change the color of the top and the lining as well as the pants. Diggin it. I feel so beautiful.






The make that I am wearing is from La Boheme, new releases out in her store. Well the lipstick is an older release but I LOVE her lipsticks so it's almost part of my everyday wear. My lipstick is Matte Rose 1, my eye shadow is part of her glamour eyes that's at We <3 Roleplay until May 31st 2015, and the nail polish is called Mainframe Silver (Also comes in gold) each set is for manicure and pedicure and comes in a LOT of awesome colors! I used blue since my outfit was kind of a smokey blue.
You can see the name details below to see which I'm wearing. The eye shadows come in a variety of colors too! I lovvvve completing all my looks with La Boheme make-ups.

Spring has Sprung!






I wish I could say that Kansas Spring looks this pretty, well on some days it does, but right now all it's doing is raining. Maybe that's why I just want to curl up in bed with a good book and just chill. BUT I couldn't resist wanting to enjoy sunshine weather, beautiful flowers and wishing it weren't raining. This Spring Has Sprung pose prop is available at the Urban United: Spring Fling Event. There are 5 poses to this prop. 4 standing in various positions and one laying down. It also comes with a basket and a sprig of flowers for your hand. You may or may not have to do some editing to make these fit your hands. In some of my pictures I even put the basket on the ground which ALSO comes with the pose prop so if you're in a tight spot and you want pretty flowers this is a great pose prop to own!




The outfit that I am wearing is by one of my former sponsors but I hope to always claim as a friend. When I saw her new stuff, I just *HAD* to have. The top is Ruffle Black, and the shorts are denim with a black belt. They come in a few different colors and choices.Both were at a previous event. You can buy the top with a lace skirt as a fatpack or you can buy them separate. (Links provided below in what I am wearing to her main store and her marketplace.) I'm really loving the new clothes that Dalriada has been putting out. I'm also wearing La Boheme eye shadow called "Glamor eyes Kitty" Available at this month's round of We <3 Roleplay.




Because we all know that I'm a sucker for polishes, I wanted to share this new release that's elusive at Thrift Shop 9.0. Dark Passions polish has come out with a Midnight Metal. I know it's probably not very spring-ish but it's very edgy for what I was wearing and well, I loved it so there ya go! What's nice about these polishes is that the're almost a gradient of color. A matte finish and a shine finish so you can really have a different look then normal. Pretty creative if you ask me!

This is the ad for the SLINK polishes, but it also comes for the Maitreya.
