THE SCOTS AUTUMN

Enjoying a fine day at the sea before the first freeze.

The loverly knits, plaids and argyle made me think of Her Majesty, but I don't have an old Land Rover so I am portraying a lesser member of the nobility. Perhaps a very distant cousin. I started dressing with the Sleepy Eddy sweater and the Gun provided by Don't Freak Out for the Seasons Hunt. Sleepy Eddy also made these leather clogs that I couldn't resist.

The sweet little necklace from Lassitude and Ennui includes a texture change HUD that lets you customise the colours of all its components.

SEASON'S FAREWELL

Job well done (again!) for the all the shops and organizers of the Seasons Hunt, which has been one of the few must-do hunts in Second Life. I loved so much discovering a few new shops, squealing while I opened the boxes ... and knowing beforehand that none of the prizes would be junk. *happy sigh*

Last week I had this year's first real cold snap, so I wanted to try putting together one of those mega-layered-supa-primmy outfits that some (other) bloggers do so well. I tried combining three tops but the prims didn't work, so I took off the Teefy shirt. I stretched the heck out of the scarf to fit it around my hair. And oh yes, a slider diet to keep my bum from sticking out of my clothes.

Dressing warmly can be a lot of work. But so worth it.

OCTOBER MY LOVE

oh my! ... I think I will probably be up all night tonight. Yum!

And I can't tell you how sad I was to hear that this autumn's Seasons Hunt will apparently be the last one. I love them so much. What can I say? Would it make a difference if we all begged nicely? *sigh*

Love,

HOT HOT SUMMER

Ready to go for an ice cream cone?

Yeah, me too.

This summer’s Seasons Hunt is a sweet treat as usual, and of course I cannot show all the beautiful hunt prizes, which range from beautiful clothing, shoes and accessories for men and women, to carefully crafted house wares and a lovely beach house. For those who don’t choose to idealize the season, there are several sunburns and zinc treatments available in this hunt, and Miss Shippe even provided heat rash and mosquito bites. (A little too much reality for me.) Enjoy!

HAYFEVER

Even though he has allergies, he still brought me flowers.

I don't have any eyedrops, sorry.

What a romantic! Loving spring.

I so enjoyed the Seasons Hunt for spring; I wanted to encourage the men to go too. Some of the hunt is just for you <3 ... I could have worn a shirt but I was enjoying Inotto's abs. Of course this season's hunt also includes boatloads of lovelies for the ladies and quite a lot of home furnishings. Enjoy!

Eyes: Hoot "Allergy Eyes (Blue)" (multi-color pack)(Seasons Hunt prize)

THE CHANGE OF SEASONS

Just stop and breathe. That's what I am doing this week.

But in between breaths, I made time to go see the Seasons Hunt like everyone else. :)

If you've seen all of these things before, that's all right. They're perfectly lovely anyway.

Most of this is from the Seasons Hunt, but not the shoes. ... For a couple of weeks I've been avoiding going to G Field because I wanted these shoes so bad. And not just one color either. You know how you see some things in Second Life and wish you could get them in Real Life? Yeah like that. Finally when I was in the mood for self-restraint, I went and bought them, only the two pairs in brown, and purple. Oy.

Sweater: Pig “There b Leaves on it T” (Seasons Hunt)
Dress and Corset: Ingenue “Highland Traveler” (Seasons Hunt)
Leafy in My Hand: Scribble “Seasons Hunt/Autumn Leaf” (Seasons Hunt)
Shoes: G Field “Square-toe Shoes ‘Sophie’” (color change piping and buckles)
Hair: Clawtooth “One Fine Day – AutumnMix” (Seasons Hunt)
Skin: Glance “Frieda”
Eyes: MADesigns “EYES_LIGHT – copper” (Make Him Over Hunt 4)
Poses: Long Awkward Pose and Pididdle
Location: New Trails
