Pierre blanche.

Today will be a day to remember for Div - my boyfriend - and I.

Long story short, we met in Second Life. He is american and I'm (french!) canadian. All the odds were against us but we managed to turn our virtual dream into something real. It was hard, and it took some times, but we made it! Div lives with me in Montréal since 3 months now, but we need to legally allow him to stay for good.

So today is the first step of his immigration : our civil union. Nothing big, just us and our two witnesses, and some home made cupcakes. Following today, we'll fill all papers and stuff required for him to get his permanent citizenship.

Only, I thought it would be fun to commemorate this even in SL, where we met over 3 years ago!

Since Div doesn't log in Second Life anymore, I decided not to do the traditional picture with the two lovebirds. Instead, waiting for him (forever?) in a white dress seemed more appropriate. I couldn't resist adding LaGyo's Spring accessories to my outfit. The headpiece is stunning; I didn't retouch the picture at all (except for lighting), these are the original textures. The flowers look so delicate! And the earrings are to die for.

Paperdolls.

I had a wonderful time with Lazy Sunday yesterday, what a thrilling experience! I've met some great people, had a fun time, and got plenty of very nice comments regarding La Bohème set (pssst! it's still available for a few hours at L$75 only, I didn't have the time to remove it yet!).

A very great experience overall, so you'll see Statique for Lazy Sunday again in a few weeks!

it reminds me of the paperdolls I used to play with!

Major snowstorm in my town today, we're expecting up to 50cm - that's 20in, folks! - so I'm making a statement against it in-world with a light, pastel, spring-ish outfit thanks to this super cute poncho from R.icielli. It's from their early February hunt but guess what? it's still ongoing! You can still put your hands on it for a ridiculous L$10, along with 11 other items.

Yay!

Cozy Lazy Sunday.

It's Lazy Sunday and you can finally put your hands on Statique La Bohème earrings and necklace! There is plenty of other wonderful goodies as well this weekend, and I have to say I personally enjoyed the Who’s There? poses proposed by Hopscotch, and the Wooden screen & chair by Scusi.

I've always been a sucker for poses - which explains why I made some for my own store - and I love to see what other people can come up with!

Enjoy what's left of the weekend!

C'est l'amour.

I must admit, I almost didn't purchase the dress shown above. Because if there's one thing I hate as much as bodylights, it's skirts with the mini prim between the legs, which moves with the AO and makes you look like you pooped a square of fabric.

So I got this dress thinking the color and pattern were divine and I could always wear it as a shirt with jeans or something. But voilà, the whole skirt is a prim! I went waaaaarrrgblll! in happiness and purchased the 2 other colors (black and tan) as well.

These gorgeous dresses from Riddle are currently available at Pure Juice Event and I can already confirm : I'm gonna wear the shizz out of them!

Thank God I'm Fashionable.

It's Friday, lets start the weekend and what's usually three busy days of shopping! Today's Fifty Lindens Friday (FLF) offers cute and very well done stuff, as usual you can find all details at The Rumor. Also, The Dressing Room Blue released their new collection earlier today. And because you can never shop too much, Truth new hairdos Pippa and Florence are just hitting the market too.

Happy weekend!

It's the Skin Fair!

...and I almost missed it.


Yes, I went in fluffy slippers and mud mask... after all I was running late!

The Vanity Universe Skin Fair, 3rd edition starts tomorrow! Hope you saved some Lindens cuz there is skins to satisfied the most difficult people... myself included! I'm seriously lurking the new Fairy skin by Redgrave... but let's put this on the side for now.

Since I got an invite for Bloggersday, I was planning to go to the Skin Fair for a few hours, take the time to try all demos available and do a huuuuge report... but I forgot about that thing called Real Life and was caught into it all day. Uuuugh. So I teleported in at the last minute tonight and only had a quick overview.

Fortunately for you, plenty of bloggers are already talking about this very interesting event in a much better way than I could ever do. So I'll just go with this: to the few creators it may concern, please stop thinking we all want to look like Angelina Jolie. Play it safe when it comes to drawing the size of lips 'cuz ginormous mouths aren't as sexy as you think they are.

Besides that, I strongly recommend to have a look at the Skin Fair where you'll find very well made skins by amazing creators. All the well known brands such as Redgrave, Laqroki, LeLutka, Curio, Glam Affair, etc. are around, but you'll also discover some new - and gorgeous - faces.

First sale ever at Reek!

Everything is 50% off at Reek for a limited time! This reminded me of their nice Autum Boots that I adore. They're scripted and you can change the fur and laces color to go with your outfit.

Weather is very unusual where I live since yesterday. We're used to snow and very cold weather during February (it can easily go down to -40¤C (-40¤F) with the winds... AYE!). Instead we're having a very comfortable 5¤C and rain.

My avi is dressed almost as I did when I went outside today.

*My* Cotton Poppy skirt.

I came across My Cotton Poppy dress from The Secret Store (sold exclusively at The Cellar) a few days ago and fell in love with the lovely pattern. After purchasing the dress, I tried in and... aïe, que dolor! the skirt ended being a total disaster on my shape - I'm slightly curvy but the skirt was made extremely straight. My butt and hips were sticking out everywhere, and when I tried to simply make the skirt bigger, I ended up looking like a box.

Ok perhaps I'm slightly exaggerating here... ;)

So tonight I came up with a skirt of my own. I paired the original Poppy skirt with the Geisha Leather Belt from Fishy Strawberry and modded the shizz out of that skirt for what seemed forever.

Final result : tadaaaa! Shorter, curvier and totally adorable just like the original was already. Only, it fits me a hundred times better.

It was worth the hard work.

My "Carlucci" outfit.

If - like me - you shop at The Dressing Room Blue, you've noticed the latest Look of the week by Amelie Carlucci. Love at first sight! I saved it with the firm intention of trying it, but Valentine's Day kept me busy with all the hunts and gifts.

It's now time to put V-day behind and I thought a full outfit without a single touch of pink would be a nice statement. Above is the closest I could get from the look with what I already had in my inventory. Below is my ~lightest version~ of Amelie's great look, which is more casual and suits me better.

I know, I know, I'm ultra late! I wish you had a great time, and plenty of chocolate! On my side I stepped away from SL to bake pink cupcakes for Div and I. Which explains why my avatar is on a sugar rush!

Friday, I'm in love!

If there is one reason to love Friday, it's because it's one of the biggest shopping day of the week in SL... and I've been spoiled today. Between The Dressing Room, Chic Boutique, The Fashion House and 50$L Friday... phew! There is enough to satisfied the most picky fashionista.

On this note, may I introduce you to the cutest skirt I've seen in a long time, from The Secret Store. It's so not my usual style, but I couldn't resist the amazing pattern. Best part is : I only paid 50$L for it! And 'cuz you can't really see my cute necklace on the above picture, enjoy the one below instead.

More information about all these releases is available at The Rumor.

I'm back!

It's been a long month.

I've been awfully sick IRL since my last post, to the point I couldn't find the energy to sit at my computer. I spent the whole time laying down on my couch watching TLC and Discovery Channel.

I can't take it anymore!

I logged back in SL a few days ago and decided to do some major change on my avi. I've been wearing the same skin, lashes and eyes for the past 18 months and I suddently decided I wanted to go for a fresh new look. I ended purchasing the latest skin release from Laqroki : Vilda which is a-freaking-mazing with my shape - actually with any shapes it seems, since it looked good on my friends who tried it as well - plus new lashes and eyes.

And the latest hair releases from Truth, indeed.

I'm extremely happy with the result! The lips, lashes, hair... Wow!

***

There is a very interesting Valentine's hunt at G-Field. The items are very well done and there is lotsa and lotsa pink! which makes me extremely happy.

And most of the items are free!
