EVERLASTING

This field of flowers goes on, year after year.

The flower fields go on, but individual flowers do not.

This week I got to thinking about all the people places and things that I miss. People come and go as their priorities change, lovely and inspiring designers suddenly pack up shop and disappear, whole worlds vanish overnight and I wish I had visited them more often. Right now Ashoka Eales is having a closing sale for a few more days, and Phoenix Rising will vanish. I went poking through my inventory and stumbled over Kunstkammer, Armidi, Pacadi Jasha, ... The Nameless Isle, Templum Obscurum, Cu Mara, Nagare Island, and on and on. But I am not exactly sad ... People are going their own way, but I miss their art. Let me enjoy it while I can.

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!!

Earrings: Kunstkammer “Falling Stones Earrings” (gatcha gatcha festival)
Jacket: Ibizarre “Black Knit Jacket”

p.s. Dang. I did some more exploring and this accidentally turned into a Halloween post.

SOME SASSY PINK

The whole outfit isn't pink, but a little cotton candy goes a long way.

The pink necklace is Kunstkammer's RFL item, available at the Fashion Expo. The pink MichaMi corset dropped on me like manna from DSN, and its seams are subtle but they whisper "vintage". Finally pink clogs from Duh! ... (I bought them all, but that's not as expensive as it sounds.)


The black leather balances out the sweetness nicely. I love this little jacket ... the prim bits fit over a jacket-layer piece, but if you need the jacket layer for something else, the prims work well all by themselves.

I wear the Hat/Hair with lots of things cause the hat changes texture on touch.


Necklace: Kunstkammer “Poppy Necklace for RFL”
Jacket: DeLa “Short Jacket Bette”
Corset: MichaMi Carmela Bustier Top in Blush” (DSN sample)
