It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

My family isn’t religious. Well, my mom will identify herself as Catholic, but she doesn’t practice. However, the maternal lineage of my family is Jewish. So I finally convince my mom that we should celebrate Chanukah, since I’m generally a grinch anyways and this Christmas is going to suck, and suddenly I’m in the Christmas spirit. Also doesn’t help that I can’t find a menorah anywhere here. That’s ok, though, because on sl, I’ll celebrate Christmas. Everything’s a bit more magical here anyways, especially my wardrobe.

Everybody run now

Listening to The Reckoning by 30 Seconds to Mars.  I personally can’t stand Jared Leto, even though I do like the band.  He was fine when almost no one knew who he was.  Now, he’s a prick.  Rates up there with Megan Fox imo.  I’ll stop now, don’t need to waste my energy on a vapid vacuum.  Hmm, Vapid Vacuum…that’s good.  I do love my alliteration.

It’s a well known fact that boots = sex.  Ask any man alive and he’ll probably confirm this.  These thigh high boots from J’s are sex times 10.  They come in three heights, this is the highest, but they’re all rather daring.  And, of course, it comes in a long list of colors as well as two separate fat packs.  So if you’re looking to spice up a short skirt or dress, I would say these are the boots for you.  Or you can be really daring and wear them naked.  Something I might do later.

Sometimes, girls cry

Yeah, we do.  For no reason.  It’s not spilling something that makes us cry…in fact we probably spilled something because we were too distracted by how we wanted to cry.  It was one of those days today.  So while this awesome anime-inspired skin from vive9 that I picked up on Friday was supposed to be a “sick” skin, I thought it fit quite well.  The new Grace line looks amazing.  If you’re not a member of the vive9 group, join.  It’s 100L but you get free skins and they’re uber impressive.  Trust me, you’ll be blown away by them too.

Oh, and I had to include panda accessories also from last Friday.  Blame South Park.  “I’m a saaaaaaad panda.”  Though, they are my favorite animals.  Only a panda can make me go all sappy.  Ok, that’s not really the case.  I’m a chick, I go sappy over almost anything.

Wow…that was longer than a week

Yeah, I took a break for longer than week.  I’ve been back on second life, but…the blogging bug didn’t bite again until now.  And wow, I missed a lot of shopping too.  Which is probably good since I’m strapped for lindens after quitting all but one gig.  However, I’m happier.  Much happier.  And in the end that’s what matters.  Happiness and shoes.  Oh shoes <3

Winter is coming.  Here in Southern California, that generally means that we wear pants instead of shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt…possibly a sweater or a hoody.  So these “winter” styles may not look all that warm, but I’m sweating them just seeing them on my avi.  Oh how I long for colder weather.  But, it should be noted that, as the hot weather withers away, I get less and less sexy.  Which I guess is still sexy…my bf sure isn’t complaining.  Of course he fell in love with the cute, clothed me–a quality which indubitably made me fall for him.  Ok, enough with that sappiness

Fridays = Vacation

I didn’t post about the last 50L Friday, which was awesome!!!!  But this week it was yet another great 50L Friday. I shopped with my bffl, Toxic. We have completely different styles, but we both know a good deal when we see one, and who doesn’t like shopping with their best friend? Upon visiting pig–after she said the clothes there were “weird”….I like weird, and the pleated pants, omg I’ll wear them forever–I realized we’ve known each other a year now. It’s amazing how on the internet, that’s such a long time, but in reality, my rl bestie and I have known each other eight years…and lately, I’m no where near as close to her as I am to Tox. So I’m dedicating this 50L Friday post to her and to my biffle, Treo. He’s always been there for me whenever I call. I love you both.

Muism

Muism is having a sale.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Lovely, wintry, leathery, woolly, formally goods….on sale.  Normally, Muism is a bit overpriced for me.  But I got a fair few things to keep me satisfied.  I might even go back to get a few more.  I love the style…simplistic, classic.  Reminds me of when my mom used to shop at Nordstrom’s when I was a kid.  Best part about a lot of the pieces…they can be dressed up, down, be made classy or vixenish–nothing’s impossible with them.

The Mojave

I went boot shopping the other night and bought a pair that I had been debating on getting. Everyone made them look so good. But when I got them….I was utterly disappointed. Not worth what I spent. Bad metal textures, coloring is a bit odd imo….I’m slowly getting used to them, but in my opinion, I’d rather there were a return policy. Such is fate on sl. I’ve done it before, I’ll do it again. This time, however, I went and picked up the new pair of anexx boots to cure my blues from my bad purchase. You’ve probably seen them. They’re everywhere right now, but they’re sexy and my blogging obviously isn’t keeping up with what’s hot and new right now (damn rl for getting in the way), so I went ahead and featured them anyways.

Why can’t you be more like me

a water massager's the purest love I've ever known

So I’ve been listening to the new Third Eye Blind cd non-stop.  I didn’t even know they had come out with a new one, but when I was picking up the new Pearl Jam, I saw it and nearly peed myself.  Stephan Jenkins is the poet of my dark heart.  We even have the same alma mater.  Go bears!  That’s how to live…get a degree from the best public university in the world and become a musician.  Well, his lyrics have somewhat inspired this outfit.  A lot of what he writes about is struggle–with addiction, depression, letting go–and not necessarily from his point of view but from that of those he’s loved.  He’s the self-proclaimed moth to the dark flame of so many.  Anyways…on to what you really care about…the clothes.

50L Fridays Reeks of Awesomeness

top: oyakin, jeans: armidi, boots: aoharu, hair: 50L Friday Tiny Bird

While this might be what my mood is like–it’s a thunder storm lately–these 50L items from Reek certainly made my night!  I feel like writing a song about how much I love 50L Fridays. Lots of good stuff this week.  Two awesome tees from Pididdle for the price of one, a cute shirt from Tyranny, and omg League <3.  Also as always, This Is A Fawn’s items are win and the jewelry from Epoque, though perhaps not something I’d wear everyday, is classic.  And…..UNRELEASED hair from Tiny Bird.  I love Fridays.

So Many Styles, I’ll never get bored now

Long, long time overdue for a post, but rl and school are kicking my ass atm.  Hmmm what is there to say about the new releases from SMS?  They’re fantastic, edgy, great to play around with.  And this hair from barberyumyum?  Divinely innocent.  I like innocent lately.  More skin I cover the better.  I think it’s that transition back into fall.  Which is about to be interrupted by another heat spell in Southern California.  Just when I was ready to pull out my short-sleeved cardigans and knitting needles too.  Enough rambling, or next thing you know I’ll be talking politics in anthropology and cultural resource law.  Trust me, no one wants to go there.  Lots of pics after the cut.  They speak louder than words anyways.
