Coffee Break

 

I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they’re sorry and an even stronger person to forgive. Yolanda Hadid

I have been to so many events in the last week, so I have my work cut out for me. So many great designers are putting out some really great items. I decided to jump right in and talk about everything second life shopping for June. And here we go…..

I want to talk about this whole outfit… as well as poses. My awesome poses are by the great Cuca@Designs. It’s the cuppa Joe and Jane poses. You can find this pose set at Flourish. My shirt is by the ever fabulous Eliavah. This shirt is so gorgeous. Eliavah created this beautiful top for Fameshed. My wind swept hair is none other the wonderful Exile and you can find this beautiful swept away wig at Collabor88. My shoes are from Utopia@Design, which is also featured at Fameshed. Can we talk about shoes, I really adore these heels. I’m so going to rock them all the time this summer.  Lets not forget about this really fabulous handbag by Vive Nine. I found this at their mainstore. I recently won a contest for Vive Nine, so I was going through their store and checking out a lot of their clothes and accessories. They are not a store to be missed. They have some great pieces. Check them out. I can see myself using my fab bag all around town. And if you like this gentleman’s shirt.. you have to look no further than Anthem. It’s by always fantastic Gabriel. If you would like some further info, please check my credits out down below.

My quote on forgiveness… well my sweet honey bees, forgiveness is always something that I think about often. We’ve all been on both ends of forgiveness.. giving, or receiving forgiveness. It’s like a cat scratching you, but you forgive the cat and still cuddle, because well you love them. It’s kind of like that. I think about it often because I find it interesting how it’s easy to forgive some situations easier than others. I guess it sparked something that happened to me in rl. I forgave someone for almost breaking something of mine.. that had sentimental value. I was lucky it didn’t break, but … It also made me think that even if they did break it.. I would have still forgiven them, because I care about them–but also for myself. I didn’t want to hold onto that anger. It serves no purpose to hold onto anger. Holding onto anger holds a person back, from feeling happiness in the moment. It prevents us from enjoying the good that could be happening around us. It steals our time.. our happiness.. and our moments.

Sometimes it really is just best to forgive. And then after forgive… you could just go shopping inworld… like I did 😀

Seriously, there’s some really great stuff out there and I look forward to sharing all the wonderful shopping out there. Here’s to shopping.. grab a friend and enjoy….

Be Kind To One Another,

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

A Day In The Sun

 

When you start recognizing that you’re having fun, life can be delightful. Jane Birkin

Whew, lets talk about second life for a minute. If you haven’t heard, Linden Lab is working on some stuff, which has been impacting SL. They’re going to be doing maintenance from the 13th to the 16th. And I …like so many others.. have felt the effects. I really wanted to do this photo about three days ago, but I had log in issues, rezzing issues, and things disappearing on me issues. Needless to say, I am very happy to get this post out for the world to see. Please bare with me this month.

So let’s talk about this fabulous summer time inspired photo. I couldn’t do it without some really great designers. So lets begin. My pants are from Eliavah and you can find this playful number at the latest round of Collabor88. My top is from Pseudo and you can also find this top at collabor88. My flowers are from lode and my hair is from Beusy. Nate’s shorts are from Noir and available at Fameshed. Finally, lets talk about this awesome pose. The pose is available at this month’s round of Pose Fair. She has made this fantastic pose. She also created a backdrop to go along with some other poses, but that’s meant for another post.. for another day. Please check out Cuca@Designs at Pose Fair. If you like any of the items featured in the above photo, please check out my credits below.

Lately, I haven’t been online much. I’ve been dealing with real life quite a bit. Some may have noticed me working on photos or not online. I haven’t really been able to have a lot of free time lately. Hopefully it starts to slow down a bit. I came across this quote, while thinking about having fun online. It really is important to smell the roses, get lost in the rain, and have some fun. It’s delighting in fun that you really start to enjoy life. Fun is definitely something that I need a little more of these days. And who doesn’t need a bit of fun every now and then?

Hopefully I’ll get a little more time inworld and some down time. In the meantime, I will share with you all my haul. So get out there, shop, and bring a friend.

Be kind to one another,

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Evil Seductress

 

Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality. It’s part of the sizzle. Camille Paglia

So I wanted to type a quick blog towards the end of the week. There has been so many great events with some really great clothing and furniture. I just had to jump right into it and snap a quick picture of my haul.

I went to three different events for this picture: kinky, collabor88, and FaMESHed. Okay okay, okay, lets talk about this really sexy dress. Eliavah made this hawt number for Fameshed. I don’t want to take this dress off at all. It’s just that good. And the hair.. yes the hair.. omg.. Sigh. I’m kind of in love with it. Lamb made this sultry number and I knew right away that it would pair really nicely with the Eliavah dress. The hair is available at Collabor88 and again.. it’s by Lamb. The mannequin in the background is by Backbone and you can find this naughty piece of decor at Kinky.  The furniture and skybox are from anxiety. It feels incredibly rich and polished. The skybox is perfect for feeling like a million bucks in the sky. For further details, please check out my credits below. My pose is by Bauhaus Movement.

Finally, my quote, I couldn’t resist. I felt hot and sizzling. I agree completely with this quote. I really could go on and on about how sexy this outfit is. There’s a dangerous slit that shows your legs… and even gets a bit cheeky. I’m ready to pursue and seduce in this number. So what are you waiting for? Get out there, spend some linden, bring a friend, and enjoy the shopping trip.

Be Kind To One Another,

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

bed and breakfast

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. Hal Borland

 

Nope, I didn’t quit. I actually met to write this blog awhile ago. I’ve had a few issues with second life crashing on me and my power has not been great this past week. I actually lost power, trying to take this picture. So seeing it done, I’m truly happy. Hopefully my luck gets a bit better with my next photo :P.

There are a lot of events in this photo, featured above. So lets begin. My dress, hair, and shoes are all from collabor88. My gorgeous dress is by Ison, which I paired with a pair of shoes by Pure Poison. And my hair is by Opale. My bed, bookshelf, and mirror come from Ariskea. The speaker in the background is by mishmish, and the picture of a person outlined is by Fancy Decor, all of these items are available from Collabor88. The curtains, flower frame, cabinet, lamp, and tray with a grapefruit, and book on the table are all available at Uber and it’s by Dust Bunny. I just love decor from Dust Bunny. I always seem to end up buying it. My vanity is from Access and it’s by Build works Decor. The cake is from an event called Spring Flair 2–and from Ariskea. The chair, bunny, rug, stool, and pink vase of flowers all come from Kalopsia, which are available at Fameshed. The tray in the background is by granola, and you can also find this item at Fameshed. The strawberries, and the bag are also available at Fameshed. Whew, I know there’s a lot of new products in this photo. I have bought quite a bit of furniture lately inworld. I can’t say no to a pretty pink flower or light airy spring time decor. Overall, these are the events that you don’t want to miss out on: bliss, fameshed, Uber, Collabor88, and Access. And now for my quote……

The quote above is a wonderful reminder that things don’t always last forever. There’s always change in life. Winter comes and goes. There’s the hope of new life and new beginnings in spring. No matter what hardship a person goes through, there’s always solace in change. And for me, I welcome spring, and change. I’m inviting the warm air of spring to grace my sim. It’s time to bring flowers into the world and let go of the cold.

I hope that you all have a wonderful spring break and be safe out there. Enjoy the blooming flowers and maybe a chocolate bunny. Happy shopping 🙂

Before I go, I want to make a quick note. I meant to make this blog post earlier, but I’ve been dealing with power outages, and storms. It’s part of the reason why this post is late. I’ve also had some issues with second life.. like most people lately. I’m hoping no further issues come along. Crossing my fingers……..

Be Kind To One Another

Cheers,

Violet

Things in Bloom

Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine. Jack Ma

I’m going to keep this blog short, because I need to. I’m sorry everyone. When I feel a bit better, I’ll write a long post.

However since there are so many events featured in this post, I want to go over them very briefly. As you can see a lot of items came from this month’s bloom event. I also visited Collabor88, whore couture, kustom9, shiny shabby, and FaMESHed. Whew, yup I did some major retail therapy. I also bought a ton of items from Tentacio. I keep loving everything they create lately. It’s just flat out beautiful. Ariskea has also made some really great items. Nutmeg is a long time favorite of mine. I can’t rave about them enough. I buy everything they make. I’m not even ashamed. Foxwood, Apple fall, Granola, and HEXtraordinary also made some great pieces that all work really well together. My hair from SINTIKLIA has also become a new favorite. I love their hair. My pants from cynful are extremely elegant, and my top from Bombshell is incredibly sexy. Last but certainly not least is my pose from Cuca Designs, which is featured at whore couture fair. It only has a few more days so you will have to hurry. I have to say that she has made a handful of very sweet poses and they really are incredibly wonderful. All of the items in this picture will be used again. I’m certain of it. Truly, designers.. I’m looking forward to spring. All of your creations have been very beautiful. Thank you for making pretty pretty pretty things for me to buy ♥

Be kind To One Another

Cheers

Violet

They Call Me A Tease

It’s a pity nobody believes in simple lust anymore. Ava Gardner

I just want to jump right into all the loveliness in this picture. My friend created this pose and I knew right away…. it’s definitely lustful. It’s by Cuca Designs and available at Whore Couture Fair. My top and shorts are by Eliavah, which you can buy at Kustom9. I really adore this outfit. I always love what Eliavah creates. It’s so cute!! My hair is by foxy and it’s called Sanya. You can find this hair at the latest round of Collabor88. It could easily become one of my favorite go to wigs. It does come with a hat, but you don’t have to wear it. There’s also a style hud. Finally, my boots are from Utopia@Design. And you know I love a good boot. I always really adore Utopia’s boots and I highly recommend them. They always have so many texture options. As always, for more details check out my credits below.

Lately, I’ve had sort of a stressful inworld life. So I have been taking time out for myself. Sometimes it’s nice to just go through flickr or take a pictures, while hiding away from all the noise. This week has definitely been that kind of week. I’m going to keep this blog a bit short, since I have been dealing with insomnia. If you see me online, there is a chance that I have just plum fell asleep at my desk. Speaking of.. off to bed I go. If you like anything in the pic above, then check out the credits below.

As always, Be Kind To One Another,

cheers,

Violet xoxo

Sleep Over

 

Capt. Crewe:
“You can be anything you want to be, my love, as long as you believe.”

I have always loved the movie A Little Princess.. the version made in the nineties. Some of the most beautiful scenes are in that movie. I loved the story about a girl having a wild imagination. It’s such a lovely thing to live in a world of imagination and magic. There’s just something about that story that I love. For me, this quote means a lot to me. It gives a certain kind of hope. And I like books and movies that promote hope. If we lose hope, we lose the possibility of making those dreams and beliefs true. Hope drives us to go after goals. It inspires us to try. When we try…is when we truly live. So never give up hope.

As I saw ads for the epiphany, I knew right away what I wanted to do. I’m really excited to do this photo. It’s kind of my take on a sleep over with all things pretty. I probably would set this scene up in my house, if I had the money for all those flowers. Hey flowers are expensive!! But thankfully, it’s much easier to make this in second life.

I really want to thank everyone for making such cute things. I have to thank Eliavah for making this truly fantastic outfit. This is hawt and I love it. I like the ruffles at the top of the shirt, the color, and the fit. It made me feel extremely girly. Eliavah is selling this outfit at the epiphany. So you too can take a chance on her gacha. Kalopsia is selling the Cleo set–the pink lamp and mirror at collabor88. Lamb made this great hair which is also available at collabor88. Disorderly created cozy piles which is available at collabor88 as well. You can see it in front of my tent.. the cookies and magazines. It is all linked together. I absolutely adore it. The laundry basket is from tarte and can be found at a new event called soiree. Soiree is a new event and an extension of Collabor88. I bought so many things at the epiphany. I could go on and on about all of these really great events… but my credits list says it all. Please stop by Collabor88, FaMESHED, Soiree, and the epiphany. There are some truly great events on the grid. Don’t miss out.. tp and bring a friend with you.

I’m ending my post a little early. I have so many credits from this wonderful photo and I want it to be the center of this post. I hope my follows have fun shopping this month at some wonderful events.

As always, Be Kind To One Another,

Cheers,

violet xoxo

Lazy Morning

 

 

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress. Charles Dickens

I’ve been quiet lately. And I’m a little late blogging this post. But, I had some living to do. It’s important to remember to enjoy moments and taking them in. Today is a snow filled lazy day. So here I am blogging away and enjoying the picturesque ambiance of silence in the snow. I generally hate snow, but I’ll take my lazy day. So like my day, my picture captures a quiet hopeful morning with breakfast in bed. Of course, I could never create such a picture without the help of designers and their amazing creations.

I’m going to jump right into the thick of it and talk about all those lovely events. Collabor88, Uber, Fameshed, and equal10 are all featured in this lovely picture. My hair is from doux which can be found at equal 10. My shirt came from Uber. My boots are from Uber and by Utopia@Design. The bed, 8 tracks, furniture, food items, and dishes are from collabor88. There are also a few food items from Uber as well. My skirt is from collabor88. The nightstand is from Fameshed. I would go into everyone of these items in detail, but real life is sneaking up on me. BUT, you can find all the lovely details for these items in my credits section, down below.

Generally, my blogs are a little longer, but I have been dealing with lack of sleep. So my pillow beckons me for a nap. BUT, I do like to add a moral or something important in my blogs. With Thanksgiving coming up around the corner, I wanted to again emphasize the importance of enjoying life. Family can be crazy. Friends can be difficult sometimes. BUT, these people in life are so important. It’s important to take a moment and enjoy the season… find something to be thankful for and cherish it. Every season has its beauty. Don’t let it pass you by.

Be kind to one another,

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant. Victor Hugo

I’ve been putting off this blog post for a little while. This past week has been stressful inworld for photographers, bloggers, and creators. Flickr is imposing new rules, turning out community upside down. There are some changes going on and I’d like to touch upon a few things.

Many residents are now switching to Instagram over Flickr. Last week, Flickr announced a cap of a 1,000 pictures on free accounts. Residents are now expected to label pictures as screen shots as well, meaning that groups need to change their settings to allow screenshots. And if you link pictures to any form of business, you must be pro to do so, which leads me to my next topic. Many bloggers link their pictures to events inworld, which deals with an exchange of funds. So to be safe, I paid for pro. Other bloggers should consider going pro or to instagram.

As soon as I heard of the changes, I sought out my fellow bloggers, creators, and photographers. Many of them have decided to create accounts on Instagram. I am also now there as well. I am also contemplating starting a tumblr blog as an extension to my blog.

Many may not realize it.. but.. Instagram has very strict rules about nudity and depictions of sex…as well as sex itself. I would highly suggest that residents use Tumblr, if you’re a blogger, photographer, or creator who creates things of the X rated nature, then tumblr is a good option to display such works. I don’t always just  blog pg and g rated material and will let my followers know of any addition to social media platforms to display my work. But for the time being, you can find me on Flickr and Instagram.

In time, things will calm down a bit. Life will return to normal. But for now, we’re all experiencing some changes. It will take time. I want to remind everyone that humor is helpful in those stressful moments.. and… well chocolate.

Normally, I would have blogged Uber by now, but setting up an Instagram account took some getting use to. I know excuses..excuses. But I’m here now!! I swear! And I’m getting into the swing of things once again.

To relieve some stress, I headed over to Uber and Fameshed. A lot of my decor was purchased from both of these events. My entire outfit is from Uber. I saw this wonderful corseted dress by Junbug at Uber. I also found this great eyeshadow by Veechi and hair from Lamb. My boots are also available at Uber. They’re made by Reign. Foxwood created this really great set of furniture. I very rarely buy fatpacks for furniture, but I did pick up the fatpack. It is fast becoming some of my favorite pieces this fall season. I headed over to Fameshed and found the weathered chair, sconce and coat rack from DRD. Before I forget, I also bought a wine cart from peaches and the mirror by Sayo, both are available at uber. Last but not least, the skybox is from Semipiternal. I knew that this skybox was perfect for my dark inspired after sexy Halloween picture.

Most times, I take very clean pictures, but I do enjoy taking pictures of a naughtier nature at times. I love this outfit. It makes me feel soft, yet sexy and bold. I think there is nothing better than being able to express oneself. I’ve seen many people discuss nudity and sex in second life. I don’t shy away from it, yet I embrace it. I walk a very fine line.

Speaking of walking that fine line of sex and nudity. This really hawt pose is by Cuca Designs. You can find this great pose at her mainstore. It’s located on the second floor. I’ve always enjoyed taking femdom inspired pictures. I like the idea of being a woman who is strong and powerful. It’s reclaiming sexuality and strength with no apologies. So often women shy away from their inner goddess within. I don’t believe in hiding it. I never will. So I will let my pictures serve as its own mistress, dancing with my imagination. I’ll capture the moment and let my memory serve to preserve the past.

In closing, I want to say that no matter what you struggle with in any world, you are much stronger than you think This past week has tested me in every possible way. Sometimes the best way to deal with struggle is taking a moment for yourself and doing something that you enjoy. I was reminded this week the importance of taking time for myself, planning visits with friends in that other realms that we call real life.  I hope that if you notice the signs of feeling overly stressed, that you take a moment for yourself. I highly recommend Lost Girl on Netflix and Sabrina.. those were my poisons of choice this past week. Okay enough of that, enjoy shopping and bring a friend along.

As always, be kind to one another.

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

It’s time to talk a little bit about all of the events sweeping the grid. Eliavah made this absolutely adorable outfit. It’s available at The Season’s Story. I do not want to take it off. It’s so warm and cozy.. and cute. Well, I love it, as you can see. I highly recommend it. I think this may be my go to fall outfit. My shoes are by Utopia@Design and available at Fameshed. I paired them with a pair of heart tights from Izzie’s. Then finally, I added some fabulous hair from Tableau Vivant, which is now available at The Event (arcade). I really love all of these evens and I highly recommend a visit to each of them. If you like any of the pieces featured in the above photo, please check out my credits below.
