JUST OUT SHOPPING

I was having fun running around shopping today and feeling a little like a slacker when I thought, why not blog what I am wearing? So here we are.

I am vrai tres picky about geometric prints, but I really do like the one on this skirt.

Repeating circles in the skirt pattern, triangles in the garments and pose, and the lime green carries through to the hair tieback and bows on the shoes. It's almost like I planned it. :)

Skirt: Ibizarre "Summer Print Skirt"
Shoes: Gos "Espadrilles"
Hair: Truth "Gabriel" (color-change ribbon tieback)
Skin: Curio "Sweetheart-Rose"
Eyes: Fashism "Sunrise"
Eyelashes: Glow Studio "Innocent.eyelashes - pure"

GIMME SUGAR

Digging around my bloggitybloggage closet I ran across a neglected bag of things from the Albero Gacha Festival. (Yes, I should be more organized.) My favorite schtuffs were these sweets. The Ring Pop took me way back but I restrained myself from popping more and more coins in the vendor to get all the flavors. And who doesn't like fruity popsicles? You know you love them. All calories hand-removed by elves.

It isn't too late for you to go to the Gacha Festival for a bit of cheap fun. If any of you haven't tried one of these events before, these inexpensive little vending machines randomly choose an item for you. Almost all of these things are transferrable so you can give any duplicates to your friends, or maybe trade to get the items you want.

Each popsicle comes with a matching tattoo layer that colors your lips and tongue. *grins*

TEKK DOCKSIDE

Tekk is the new club down at the old dock. When they offered me a security job I thought it would be fun. What was I thinking? Not like I was ever going to see any of the action inside the club.

It's a hot club in a bad part of town. Watching for trouble outside is a little risky. But no one wants the Gannano family looking for them later. Tonight someone hit me from behind. ... the shocker was, when I came around I still had my weapon.

*rubs the back of her neck*

(I love the jacket! ... but I think it's fair to mention that if you wear it without the collar, you can see where the seams are misaligned at the left shoulder. Still love it! )

PUNKY IN PURPLE

Pretty in pink? No ... But how about Punky in Purple?

The hemline on this gown reminded me of the 80's, Molly Ringwald, and Boy George, and so you have this outfit that is a little bit punky. I considered hightop sneakers and legwarmers, but found these pumps instead ...

I wish I'd worn THIS to prom. *grins*

A SPRING MORNING WALK

It's still pretty nippy even if it's supposed to be spring. Better wear a scarf and thick socks.

Always remember, no matter how hard the climb, it's worth it if you get to the top. Great view! (I mean the sea, but yes my butt looks nice in these shorts too.)

But if it's gonna be a hard climb, wear some tough shoes.

(Wearing this belt again to show you another color option.)

On a whim, I decided to go back to my roots a little and show you some sweet ears I bought recently. I have several sets I love already, but I fell in love with these 'cause they came with the earrings built in. The gems look like little berries, but up close they are faceted and the metal settings are more interesting than simple rings. And I love this hair but prefer it with a hairbase skin to soften the edges around my face.

Sweater: Ibizarre Cardigan (unavailable)
Shorts: Ducknipple “Hobbs”

p.s. Yes I was playing with Torley's Windlight settings.

DAWN AFTER BATTLE

The battle was vicious and I broke my sword early in the evening. My blade was useless, I threw it aside and fought with magick. Even as sorceress and commander I barely survived.

All night long we fought for control of these stone walls and finally drove them up into the towers. The last few jumped from the parapets when it became clear that I would show them no mercy. As they fell they cursed me and this place.

After the battle was over and the remains cleared away, I threw open the gate and watched the sun rise from the front steps.

I have looked into the Stone of Vision and seen the farthest ends of this ancient kingdom, all the way to the shores of the sea. I shall rebuild it and enlarge its borders into the barbaric wilderness.

The throne is mine.

p.s. I met the proprietor of "Cats of a Feather" on a random shopping trip when I noticed him sporting some fabulous cyber legs. He mainly makes cyber-neko things like legs and a few ears and tails, and these minotaur hooves seem to be a new direction. He says that the cyber hooves should be released in a week or two, in various metals. *grins* I love finding a new store. ... When I saw the hooves I thought of my collection of "Hat Mechanic" headgear. The only problem I have with Hat Mechanic stuffs is that it's hard to find other things that are sufficiently over-the-top to wear with them. :P

I LOVE FALL

Dressing warmly for a walk in the woods. I'm in this mood as fall comes along.

The weather has been so nice and crisp the last couple of days, and the mossy woods and earth have complicated and enchanting scents I love ... they lured me out of doors. But I am not sure I remember my way back to the house. The mist is tricky.

I am sure this is nowhere near my home. I think I have wandered out of all the familiar places into one of the lands in Between.

These aren't the best shoes for hiking but who cares? They're fabulous.

I like to do a few fall posts of "normal" clothes but I'm not sure if I'll be doing many this year. It's October, so who has time for "normal"? Coming soon: all Things Halloweeny!!
