By The Dividing Stream

Fantasy? Magic? Mystery? Warriors? I've been listening to too much Dio and Ensiferum. Actually, nawh, I can never get enough! Excuse me while I turn it up. Heheh.
Anyways I'm totally on a purple kick right now if it totally isn't apparent. Keystone's Bryre Crown had me drooling since it came out. I've finally gotten my hands on it and I completely and utterly LOVE it. Not to mention their recent group gift, Varika'Vys collar, which is absolutely beautiful. Both of these are a high quality unrigged mesh. The Bryre crown comes with 9 gem colors, 10 string colors and 10 bone colors all in a convenient HUD and one script in the crown itself.
For a while I couldn't find a hair I liked to go with the crown, but my best friend and the genius behind this blog pointed me at the hair Wasabi Pills had out for the Fantasy Fair. Dragon, I gotta say, I don't know what I'd do without you! But from there, I found a pretty location in one of my favorite forests in a stream, put on a little warpaint, posed and snapped a photo! <3

Tell Me When I'm Dead

You know, it's not too often I see a bright neon purple hair in Secondlife. So as soon as I get my hands on it, I immediately pair it with dark colors to make it look ever brighter. Speaking of bright colors, this hair is actually from Candy Mountain! They've recently stepped foot into the hair world, and they're storming it with all sorts of gorgeous colors. My favorite is the brightest of them, as you can see.
Cute Poison has come out with some beautiful new mesh goodies as well. Cute Poison has come out with a new mesh color that is simple, yet a beautiful accessory. My dumb self didn't pay attention to angling so you really can't see it in this picture, but trust me when I say it's awesome. Also see that killer tote bag? That's an exclusive in the Cotton Candy hunt, which is currently going on from the 4th to the 31st of May. So get out there and hunt before it's over and you miss all the neat goodies!
L.Warwick has also come out with some friggin' amazing mesh wedges for the slink high feet. They're completely handmade, high quality, efficient mesh and comes in a variety of colors. There's also spiked and unspiked versions, of which we all know I went with the spiked version. If you can run advanced lighting and shadows, aka deferred rendering, check out the maps on these shoes-- they're GORGEOUS! While you're at it, don't forget to pick up the new bracelets DRD has set out as a group gift. For every 100 likes they get on their Facebook page, they'll put out a new gift! Isn't that friggin' rad?! I think it is. Teehee!

Ever Dream

This week has been a rough one, but with all emotions comes either dreams or nightmares. I feel as though when I'm asleep I am within a surreality that's constantly swirling around me. Finding the the way is always the hardest things, but there's always a light that leads me back to reality of the waking world.

Sn@tch has recently had a fall sale, and I definitely took advantage of it. I pieced together and outfit in my head that I absolutely had to have-- and I pushed forward through the crowds to get it! With such a stunning, long mesh skirt and a gorgeously textured corset, I was in love. I of course had to find my favorite gloves ever (of all time) from +DV8+, which I felt fit well. So, I put my hair up in a very Beauty and the Beast style, then accessorized with my current favorite jewelry from Maxi Gossamer and Cute Poison. Feeling pretty, I visited Pandemonium and took a few pictures; this is the one out of the bunch I loved the absolute most and had to share!

'Till Death Do Us Part

Purple, pink and orange? Kick-ass skulls and artwork? SIGN ME UP! Oh wait, I already did. cStar Limited has a new tattoo line, and holy heck are they bad ass! I love sleeve tattoos, and when I saw the Buck Off sleeve, I had to blog them. They're wonderfully detailed and really do look like something you would see someone in the first life sporting like a boss. So why the hell not sport it in SL like a boss? I totally did. More and more ink is is to be expected from cStar, and I don't know about you, but I'm hella excited!
I recently fell in love with this hair from Rosy Mood too, and with an epic cute tank dress from MV and my favorite jewelry, I set out to storm the town. Walking by a record shop, I stopped and thought-- Hey this would be fun. So I snapped a pic and rolled with it.

Black Magick Woman

So on a dark whim, the dark magick took over me! A visit to cStar's past line, added with a new gown from Rue was sure to crush all in the way with original mesh boots by a friend of mine, Lindsey Warwick. Anyone that knows me, knows I love the darker side of things, so this look was something I really enjoy. So with my favorite Ankh necklace and a little (more like a lot) of black lipstick, this post came to be! I think it's mostly the transition from the sleek look atop down to the flared out skirt and platform boots below that really makes me like this look so much. Enough of my rambling though!

That Girl's Got Swag

Well the SWAG Fest started this past week and since cStar had a skin release for the even you know I had to fight my way in to get there for one of the awesome limited edition skins that sell out so fast. While I was waiting to be admitted to the region and then waiting again for things to rez enough to walk without plowing people over I took a peek at Flickr and Seraphim to see what other awesomeness awaited me. The nails from [ S H O C K ] made me giggle so much I knew I had to have them. So I wandered around until I couldn't stand the lag anymore and then ran off to play dress up. I found this adorable pair of shorts on the marketplace and knew I had to have them to play with, however I was having a hard time finding a top that I liked to match so back to Flickr I went for inspiration. I didn't expect to stumble upon the new piercings from Cute Poison that I had missed at SWAG Fest, but I saw them and went running back through the lag. The piercings brought a new light to my look, and I was able to piece together this look with just enough SWAG to make me look like a million buck, and a cute million bucks at that.

Draggy

I think I have decided that Ghani of +Blue Blood+ is the most crazy sweet creator I know. Yesterday morning I woke up to a message from Ghani that she had managed to get one of the mesh templates to work for her finally, and that there was an adorable dress on the way. Then she took it one step further and she decided "Draggy" was a fitting name for the dress because it "fits a little girl that has helped [her] a lot lately." Never did I expect such a sweet gesture from so awesome a creator, all I wanted to do was help and I guess that's how this all started.

The adorable, flirty, fun dress comes in five beautiful colors (Black, Pink, Purple, Red, and Teal). It is not yet available but will be announced on the +Blue Blood+ Blog when it is.
