Momento Mori

     I have to say Kamelot is probably one of my favorites bands ever, especially their albums Epica and The Black Halo. I had been listening to them the other day when a particular song titled Momento Mori really made me feel something powerful, especially the following lyrics:

"Who wants to separate,
The world we know from our beliefs,
And who sees only black and white,
Distinguish loss from sacrifice,
Some day we may come to peace,
With the world within ourselves,
And I will await you,
Until I close my eyes... close my eyes... close my eyes..."

     So with that playing in my mind over and over again, I set out to create a look based on how the song made me feel.

     Of course things went quite Gothic as you can tell, but that happens with me quite a bit. So I went with something pretty with my own flair to it. It just so happened I was in love with a new acquired, but older, cStar skin. I was wearing her around the Fantasy Fair went I happened to find a dress that called my name and I absolutely just HAD to have! My problem was I had no idea what shoes to wear with it though; that is when my friend Lindsey Warwick popped in and told me about some new platform boots she made! With the name being Crushers<3 I was interested. So I popped over to her store and fell in love! She has numerous colors, including discounted flame print ones specific to her in-world location. I grabbed as many as I could hold! It was to my surprise though that her HUD is very simple and easy to use. Not to mention color packs can be mixed and matched. I was so epic jazzed about it!

     After I had found the PERFECT boots to go with this look, I found a pretty flower head piece and a monotone clutch in my inventory that were begging to be used. I originally had a blonde hair with this look too, but something about it didn't seem quite right, so I didn't blog the look right away. I did however go to the Truth Hair sale with one of my closest friends, Jasmine. With her knowledge, she knew that there was a ponytail waiting there for me that I would absolutely love. I wasn't quite sure on it at first, but after buying it and trying it on in Pearl, she was so friggin' right! <3 My look was complete!

     Lastly, I headed over to a certain monotonous dark carnival out on the grid with one of my favorite Apple Spice poses. Pictures were taken and I was very happy with the results! <3

Good-Bye Emily

Inspired by one of my favorite songs by Parov Stelar (Good Bye Emily), I felt as though it was time to create a very high class and red carpet worthy look. So with my favorite hair from Elikatira, a gorgeous skin from cStar Limited and some heels from N-core, I set out to find the perfect dress. It took me a while searching the marketplace with no avail that finally pushed me to search in-world. So after searching a couple stores, I had remembered Sassy! had released a dress recently. So I went over there, and there it was! That was the dress I had been looking for, yet, there wasn't just the right color for the look I wanted. I was sad and decided to just shop around the place for a bit. Moments later, I found a Tango Train Hunt gift from Sassy!, and it had a special color of the gown inside. So, I went back home and unpacked it. OH. MY. GOSH! It was EXACTLY what I was looking for, the perfect color! So squeeing with excitement, I put on my favorite nails from one of the cStar Limited PLATINUM skins, a gorgeous set of pearls from Lassitude and Ennui and felt so pretty.
