Happy Boxing Day!

If your Holiday season has been anything like mine, the last thing you want to do it go shopping on Boxing day.  Retail sucks this time of year, and I'm speaking as a consumer and as a person who works retail IRL.  Just sucky all around.

However, what does not bite me in the butt is tossing on some of the most comfy clothes I have in my inventory and spending the day just lounging around in my very own personal Christmas Present.

Yay and a sigh of relief is what I feel now that the season is over.  So I get some of my trusty clothes and rock them like only I know how....  Amerie and their lovely black fur textured hoodie, Admiral Spicy with their off the hip jeans, my trusty Baxies, and of course it would not be complete without an uber cute off to the side pony from Magika.

 

2012 is fast approaching and I for one and making a couple of promises to myself this year.  I refuse to call them resolutions as I will just end up getting discouraged, but if they are promises I am sure that I will have no problem making them come true.

This will probably be my last post of 2011.  It has been a wonderful year.  Full of tears, joys, sorrows, laughter, and support.  I like many, have learned a few lessons, some, in the hard way.  I have seen relationships tested, friendships made and broken.  Trust given and taken away.  I think 2011 was definatly a year that "most" of us woke up and opened our eyes to things surrounding us.  It has been an amazing journey in self-discovery, one with many experiences I will hold true to my heart, even if some were bad.  This year, opened my eyes to many things I have been blinded to in the past.  2012 is a new chapter.  One I am very much looking forward to see.

So to you and yours, Peace, Love, Success and happiness in the New Year.  We made it!  We rocked it, and hell we made it LOOK Good!

Typically, I don't do a nonchatty post.  But I'm crunched for time and must do math homework!!  So here we go. Yes for those staying tuned...I've got *counts on fingers and toes*  .... aww hell... A LOT to catch up on in the challenge, but I went for simple with this post.  Affordable and cute, SN@TCH has really proven to be quite the prolific content creator and source for variety (at least in my opinion and since this is in part, my blog, that's what matters right? LOL).  But seriously, you can pair Ivey's tops up with shorts (the ones here came with the top O.O), skirts, slacks and switch this cute top from elegant to downright grimy depending on how you accessorize.  Add Mandala's ever evolving style and you've got a winning combo for clothing and jewelry, two key elements for hot fashion.  The hair is an old group gift from Magika, but I love that she made the hat modifiable, so I can pretty much match it to just about ... anything! LOL

Alright my fellow 'gasmers...the math lab calls! MUAH!!

Fall into Autumn...with Kalnin's Shoes & Boots

So one night I was feeling a tad ... down in the mouth and my awesome sauce of a cousin, Beks simply typed the word "shopping?" into im.  Within minutes I was by her side looking at shop*gasmy goodness.

When you walk into the store, it's a bit unsuspecting in that, there doesn't seem to be a hole lot here. Mostly stuff for guys, but then...oooh..aah...ohhh *insert the typical opening hook of let's get it on* was all i could say as i turned and saw the yummy that is Kalnin's newest selection of shoes for the lovely ladies of Second Life.  Introducing Kalnin's Shoes...and their most recent addition: Kalnin's Fall Boot.

This glorious piece of footwear is the Fall Boot.  Coming in 11 fall colors, you get your standard black and white shades as well as browns, oranges, russets and even a funky purple and blue/green option...all in the celebration of Autumn. Though resizable, the smallest you'll get this boot to go is 2.00 and they look GREAT.

There are three sections you can color individually:

Area 1 (the heel)
Area 2 (the boot)
Area 3 (the straps)

At L$750 with this many options and the option of silver or gold metal, the possibilities are endless with how you can wear this gorgeous anklet!  Below is how I managed to find a way to rock the boot.  But....before you get to the rest of my ensemble, go to Kalnin's by clicking here, get on the subscribo and when you buy these boots (and you wiiiill), you'll receive an immediate discount of 20% off (or is it 30? can't remember *shrugs*) of every purchase.  Ok! now on to the oufit!!

Ok. So it's a rarity I will ever shoot in front of my house, but..yeah..I was being a lazy bum. Welcome to a glimpse of my sanctuary :P  Now on to the important details!!  Clothing and how to achieve the look!  This is a mix and match of many content creators inworld and a rather awesome effort if I do say so myself (and I do).  So yup...here we go (good luck all):
