Hello! And what a year 2011 has been! I for one (like many) have taken a rather introspective look at 2011 & also what I hope to achieve or benefit from my SL life (& more importantly my RL!) .  For 2012. I certainly plan to have more fun in the latter. Wheyheyyy !!!

Anyway, I also wanted to take this opportunity to (not to only wave goodbye to 2011) but also convey my gratitude to all those who have peeked in this blog & tolerated my little witterings.  I am eternally grateful for your interest which appears undiminished even during  periods of absence ..kinda sweet really…thank you. And goodbye to FLF event which is no more…as well as a number of other creative brands which have shut their doors too, sadly.  I do hope they will be back in one guise or another.

Anyway, on a brighter note..I love this pretty romantic, soft look!  I picked up the lovely Almost Lover Dress @ Willow ($50 FLF). And the fabulous Black Pillbox (Pearl) Gloves are Eclectica (NEW)  (part of a set which I will blog v soon!). Pretty Sandy Shape @ CS Shapes.   Dove Hair @ Dernier Cri (look for 50% Sale !). Poses @ Marukin.  Lipstick @ Curio.  Skin @ Laq.  Fuller view of Dress below. Goodbye to 2011!

Thanks for looking in. And a Happy New Year to you all!  ((Xanthe)) xoxox

Hello again! Ohmy..more foraging in ol’ Inventory..and isn’t this such a pretty look!  The new Curio Party Girl  Skin (Xmas Group Giftie).   I do love natural looks with a slash of scarlet across the lips. Plus..wait for it..a mesh dress from no less! Wooot! (PC nearly died but I managed to snap a few piccies…tadaa!)  Anyway…this lovely Annette Dress from Elymode which has both Mesh & Sculpt Add-ons so if your PC is sh*te  like mine..you can continue with the hark the dinosaur days.

Oh and the fabulous poses are from Pacs of 22679!  Yay! Paco tossed me a collection of  his *Denim Poses* which he probably rustled up whilst simultaneously blending an awesome outfit & chatting to me in World hehe.  Pacs  is pretty good at making poses actually..just another skill to add to his increasing repertoire (wails* I need to learn sooo much!), But do pop along and get them cos they are suuuper!

Hello!  I played a little in SL last night and was rather taken with these silks!  Who would have thought *Silks* could look so ssophisticated! Hell yeh! (Oh gawd..just realised ..moaaarrr boobage!  Sorry! Running theme in my blog of late..I promice to cover up next time).  Anywwwaayy… I rather like these Coin Silks from Angelwing (and  from an aesthetic viewpoint..they are extremely detailed and well made pieces of design.  They swish, flow and tinkle pleasingly when you walk..am sure if you included a couple of hip swirling animations you could have a lot of fun with these ).   

One of the beauties of blogging purely for fun..is that is just that.  A little fun to absorb me for a short period.   I hope the pics are ok..had a few problems rezzing..boo hoo hiss…I loaded the new Phoenix mesh..not bad but rezzing takes an age…bahhhhhh(!!) 

The backdrop Textures were an X-Mas Gift from my lovely friend  Khan Omizu of [K.O Textures] which contain a veritable collection of some awesome textures which he created over the past year (ty dear Khan!).  The Rococo frame is also from Khan.  Love it.  Agness Shape @ CS Shapes.  Smoky Brown Eye-shadow @ Ferrishyn Designs .  Hangover Hair in Blonde @ Pomme d’Amour.  Poses my own which you can find instore for free. Thanks ever so much for peeking in.  ((Xanthe)) xoxox

Mmm…smexy!! Soo good to see David78 Messer of Hood Mood releasing his particular brand of sexy which you can see in this contemporary and super stylish Hoodie Dress. Love it!  Colour is cool & understated and lots of detail in the design to make it a cut above the rest.  Gorgeous! I have created a bit of a Barbarella look.  Somehow it just evolved that way.  Heeee

Pretty Agness Shape @ CS Shapes which am finding soo versatile for different looks.  May Skin is Al Vulo (Giftie @ Winter Fair ..please see previous post) (worn with lipstick from Cheerno). Curvaceous Boots @ Gos. Poses @ Everglow.  Christmas Eyes @ Poetic Colors (last years Giftie). Bangles @ Mandala.  Hair @ kik. Hair Flowers @ Its cake (Pink)  & Ema’s Secret (Grey) . Backdrop Shabby Door Textures by my old friend Khan @  [K.O.] Framelight Textures (coming soon!) Not all links this time but do toss me an IM if you get stuck!  Off to beddies I go.  Exhausted! ((Xanthe)) xoxo

Off to post my letter to Santa and my wish for X-Mas..is to have time to complete my ***! :D Anyway..these stunning Vintage Twinkle Dresses can be found at Hello World, a shop I absolutely love!   This is quality, vintage style at its best.  You can buy this Dress at a modest price of $120 (or catch it on the Lucky Board if you happen to see your letter up on arrival. Fabulous shop and much in line with my own style which is a mix of kawaii /boho chic style.   And…if you fly over to the RMK Gothic SIM you will find a shorter version of the Twinkle Dress (see below bottom pic ..again find this Dress on the LB but similarly, you can buy for a modest $120 too!

Ohmy..what a lovely gown….I rarely blog gowns but loved this stunning lacy, flouncy, utterly gorgeous Liquid Lace Gown from aDiva Couture.  The gown has quite a long trail, part of which you can see in the bottom pic.  As usual I kept the look very simple, with minimal editing..and the pictures were taken at the ZombiePopcorn Dark Magic Winter SIM..stunning SIM btw. It is quite incredible how landscaping & building have evolved. Do check out the stores while you are there!
