Elegance in Hiding

Hi Everyone!

I'm late on my Lady in Red series! Sorry! To make up for it, I will be making a few posts this week. I will be busy from now till the end of November so I will be putting up quick posts in the meantime. Although, that means I plan on making more posts as well. 

For tonight, I'd like to share a gown I really like. It is an item from Gizza called the Dark Glamour. I just really like it because of how sleek and sexy it is. I love the top part and the feather attachment for it gives it this sort of subtle elegance. Go check it out inworld!

Dress and Shoes: Gizza: Dark Glamour (Yes! The shoes come with the outfit)

Note: The Shoes are made for SLink Feet

 I decided to pair the gown with my current favorite jewelry which is from Finesmith. Also, Clawtooth is currently having a 50% off Sale. If you haven't been, you should really go.

Hair: Clawtooth: Lady Julliette (50% Off Sale in the store)

Skin: Glam Affair: Lauren (Europa 6) [Collabor88]

Jewelry: Finesmith: BatKol Jewelry Nightfall

The Lady In Red: Part 2 - Lost

There's no going back. 

From now on, I am a different person. 

I don't have a past, only a future. 

I have no destination... 

I have no idea what to do with my life.

I just know that what I did before is no longer an option. 

I threw away the phone clients call when they need my services. No use keeping it anyway. I set off east, hopefully go somewhere warm. I've never felt happier in years. I'm excited to start over.

I'm almost past a town called Louisville when I see this open park that ends just before the city borders. It was captivating. The trees were different shades of yellow, orange and red. The plants were plentiful and the flowers popped with color. I decide to stop there and rest for a while. I locked my car and head towards a short bridge that connects the park to town. There was a lake on the back end of the park with a narrow stream connecting it to somewhat of a fish pond. The air was crisp. Fall's cold brush was refreshing. I lean against the bridge railings as I think of what I should do with my life. Perhaps I could find a quiet town and live in a small cabin. Maybe I could continuously travel till I've been around the world.

I sigh.

For now, I think it's best to continue driving. If I can find a nice town where I may live peacefully, why not?

If I can't... then I leave the country.

I'm lost... but I will find the way one day.

Hi Everyone!

The Lady in Red: Part 1 - One Last Mission

"Kill or be killed" That's what they always say. In my world,I'm the only one who shall kill. I don't plan on dying in any of my missions. I've been in it for so long that I can call myself the best in the business. Although, I am growing weary. I've lived a brutal life filled with death. I have no friends I have no family.I only have my pistol to keep me company. I will finish this last mission and call it quits.

The men I've killed are all ignorant. A little show of cleavage and a little sway of my hips and their brains all become mush. I have them in the palm of my hands. I've yet to see a man who can withstand my charm. I lead him to the bedroom, strip down to my lingerie and tell him I just need to freshen up. I went to the bathroom which was connected to the room.

I laid down my purse on the counter and waited for a minute or two. I hid behind the slightly opened door. Once he looked away, a devious little smile crept up my lips. This will be easy.

I pulled the gun out of my purse. He was coming to check up on me, so impatient. He was about to grab the door handle when I pulled the door and shot him right between the eyes.

I was done. The only thing left to do is vanish from the world I've come to know so well. I will no longer kill for money. I shall live peacefully somewhere new;  a place where no one knows me.

From now on, people will know me as Jaden Hollow.

Prim and Proper

Yup! Today is a good blogging day and I wanted to share a few items. First of which is a jumpsuit from VeroModero. It's very chic, and it has this nice little black lace lace that makes it into something formal which you can gladly go to work with. The shading is realistic and you can definitely tell that it looks loose and the fabrics were chosen nicely and it shows off quality. My accessories are from Baubles! and I like my little flower with pearl bangles and the little flower ring that comes with it. It comes with a necklace and a pair of earrings for only 100Ls. My skin is another item from Poudre which has the 50% off First Generation Skin Sale. The Sale is until December 31st

Rock and Roll

Hi Everyone! New post for today. I'm feeling Haley Williams-ish from Paramore. I am wearing several items from the Singer Icon Fair, and please do check it out if you haven't already. I have apparently mistaken the end day to be Dec. 13 and I just found out earlier it was November 30!! I was looking at their previous website for it. The one in the wordpress site. I repeat it ends on November 30. Hurry up and grab as much as you can. There are several mix and match items from different stores and they can create something that symbolizes a certain icon or maybe even hint at several different ones. Hayley has this innocent face that I wanted to somehow portray in my avatar. Good thing the shape that is partnered with the Jaden skin from Poudre gave me what I wanted. Poudre currently has a 50% off sale on th First Generation Skins so tp on there and find something you like. Her skins are very cheap, but you'd see how nice they are. The cleavage options are on a tattoo layer and they have slink add ons! Yay!

An Elegant Affair

Hello Everyone. For today, I have been inspired by the beautiful Lana Del Rey. I have been listening to her songs lately and I was enchanted by her voice. I have been playing her songs over and over not feeling the need to change them. I am actually the type to listen to almost anything that floats my boat, as long as I find the lyrics and melody interesting. I know we all have different tastes in music, you may also like or dislike Lana, I don't really mind either way. Back to my post, I've wanted a post that showed elegance and grace as I am wearing a lovely gown from Sascha's Designs. It's called Eliemee. If you didn't already know, Sascha creates gown with different skirts and extras. It is very handy, since if you could style it in different ways and mix and match most of her casual clothes. Sometimes even the Gowns. I absolutely loved how the dress sparkles and creates that "I'm elegant, sexy and expensive" look. The thing is, the items from Sascha's are affordable but of quality. You can also join her store group since she has gifts every month [another something to look forward to] for a small fee. I've been part of that group for mo than a year now and it's worth it let me tell ya. 

Next, we have a skin from Yoon. One of the things I liked most about it is how the skin is very smooth and creamy. The lips are easy to edit [since mostly I have a hard time getting the lips to look how I want them to be] which is nice and it has this very soft glow to it. The jewelry are form Chop Zuey. They are sold separately and comes in different colors. One thing easily notable about the Jewelry is the outstanding quality. It actually looks like it sparkles and it has a unique feel to it coming from the gems used. 

Style Card:

Hair: Vanity Hair: Candice 

Bracelet: Chop Zuey: Grace Notes SLV/D

Earrings:  Chop Zuey: Arpeggio SLV/D

Necklace:  Chop Zuey: Symphonie Fantastique SLV/D

An Excerpt

I look around…  No trace of the man I used to call mine. I try to escape the clutches of darkness, but I was too weak. I felt a deep longing for him. I try and stand, but pain strikes and I find it terribly hard to carry my own weight. Tears fall and I could not hold it back. I try and remember our last time together. “It’s not that I don’t love you. I just need to find myself first and live without you” he said. I thought he was my heart as I was his, but he left. Do you leave our heart somewhere else? No, you must be with it everywhere you go. Was our relationship not as strong as I thought it was? Was it all in my head?  

 I try to return to my daily routine, though I moved slow and weak almost crying every time I see a memento of our love, or perhaps my love for him. I hoped dearly he meant it when he said I was his heart. I hoped he would return...

I've cooked, I've cleaned, I've dressed down to something I thought he would like. I tried to keep the darkness out, even though it sucked the life out of me.

I sat there waiting for the door to open and for him to burst in and shower me with affection. I waited for what seemed like years... I've cried till there were no more tears left... I try to play back the times we've been happy. It has been 3 months since we've last laughed together, two months since we've last spoken, and a month since he left without a word. I wanted to be with him again. I wanted to be loved again. I wanted him... But he never came. I am in pain... I am broken... I was losing hope... I was losing the light that was once within my soul... I was consumed by darkness. Death.

Hello, I was reading books again lately and I've been writing again. I've mostly just written short stories or sometimes a reaction to what my imagination has been feeding me. This is a an excerpt from one that I am currently writing. In my post today I have some items from the Candy Fair and Halloween furniture from Aphrodite/Heart Homes. I have to say, I'll give The Aphrodite Shop two thumbs up for this dining and kitchen set. It is very interactive, It doesn't cause me lag, which of course I loved, and it "rezzes" these extra items just I just adore. The kitchen counter and the stove rezz food that you will be baking or preparing. The dining set lets you rezz several types of food, which are mostly with the theme of course, Halloween. The spider web was a nice touch. OH! and I liked the whole horror and activity animation in both of the sets. Also, I found this cute lingerie set which is part of the Candy Fair. This is from Que Bella! and it comes with the shoes and all. The skin I am wearing is also from the Candy Fair and I do like how it got all messy. With food and make up in my face, I'd still strike a pose for the camera.
