Step out of myself

Whew! RL has really taken a bit out of me this last little while. I did find out that we've been nominated for the SL AVI Choice awards for Best Blog - and its a complete honour to be nominated! Although we've been on a hiatus, this blog is very important to us and we're happy that folks out there enjoy it enough to nominate it.

While I've popped in to SL when I'm able, I've found some great deals! Right now the "My 60L Secret Sale" is on and they have some fantastic items for all types! Their blog gives you a peek at some of their things, but touch their subscribos so you can get the notecard of all of the locations.

This dress (with shoes AND purse) are available from Exclusively Yours for just 60L$! They have a few other outfits there that I've picked up as well. They're worth a look for sure!

After that, I popped over to TDR Fusion and picked up a skin and new hair for 70L$ as well - they're not my usual style, but I think that's what drew me to them!

The skin is a choice of three different makeups from Your Skin & Your Shape, and the hair is a neat style fatpack from LoQ!

Be sure to drop by before these deals are gone!

Black is Fair in Vegas

The Black Fair is so much more than black! In fact, I nabbed this pink outfit (Skin, dress, clutch and nails) at the fair in the plethora of gifts provided by the gracious and generous designers!

Who doesn't want a fantasy?

There are so many awesome things in SL that are not a part of the mainstream and part of the fun of SL can be discovering that awesomeness. One of the many draws of SL for people is the ability to be someone who you wouldn't be in Real Life - for instance, a fantasy, futuristic or historical person.

And that brings us to the look today! FATEwear- a gorgeous mesh menswear store has started to release a new line of role play clothing called "FATEplay" and it is amazeballs if you're looking for a medieval/fantasy look. With that of course, you need some appropriate hair and what luck! The Hair Fair is going on right now and proceeds from the sale of hair during the fair goes to Wigs for Kids! Lots of different kinds of hair including some great fantasy/medieval styles! I picked up a great one from *Calico*.

The only thing missing? A place to wear it! I highly highly highly recommend you check out The Realm of Mystara - the detail of the sims is mind boggling. Make sure you check out the rules and grab an observer tag if you're just checking out the view. Perhaps stay a while and get wrapped up in the world? Its an easy thing to do!

The Look: 
Skin: Essences - Whisper Goth Sunkissed *Brown*
Dress: FATEplay - Wende
Hair: *Calico* Freya (MB) (Available @ Hair Fair 2013)
Shoes: Evie's Closet - Slipper
Pose: Little Red Hen - Lookbook Series One Pose one

Summer Vacation

Summer vacation is here for almost all North American children who attend public school, and for the kids, its a much needed break. For the parents - its the beginning of a juggling act that it is surpassed only by the events following the birth of a new child.

And for my family, it means going to the museum. Do you like to go? Big or small they all have lots of things for you to see, do and learn. There are even some great ones in Second Life!

Even in a sleepy little town, museums crop up, ready to share their history and knowledge... and the gift shop! Lots to see and do in Second Life during the summer months too - don't forget to hop around at all the great events! (hint: see the links below for some awesome places to check out!)
