Nom Nom Cafe Library Gardens

There are so many places in SL that are wonderful to explore. Places that are fairytales, places that are another world, places that are educational and even places that are for those with certain tastes which others may or may not share, yet when I heard that my amazingly, awesomely, wonderful Best Friend of a million years had created a place for people to gather, hang out and enjoy somewhere peaceful, I couldn't wait to see it... 
Today I managed to sneak off from everything I was doing and take a peek, it was lovely to be welcomed to the Nom Nom Cafe Library... 

The whole location is totally and utterly gorgeous. My Booboo has always been amazing at decorating, I've always admired the plaes that he creates, but now thanks to his beautful Nom Nom Cafe everyone gets a chance to enjoy it too... There are things stuffed into all of the little nooks and crannies in this place, meaning that wherever you look there is something to see, and no matter how many times you cam over a place you will definitely see things that you missed before. It's beautiful... 
It's also a safe and welcoming place for the LGBTQ community, but everyone is welcome so long as you can be nice. There are plenty of places to sit with friends, or a loved one, to enjoy the peace, the tranquility and the beauty of the place... While I was visiting I enjoyed the flowers so much, that I hope my booboo doesn't mind me picking some of the flowers to take home to remind myself of my new favourite place. I might have picked more than a few, making myself a wreath for my hair as well as a posy for the window sill...

Kissing Frogs

I've always loved fairy tales, and believed that true love can conquer all... That's mostly because I was brought up on a diet of Disney Movies and later romance novels... Yet there was a pose released recently from Image Essentials that I couldn't let slip away... I HAD to try to find out if kissing the frog would turn him into a red hot Viking prince?!

The pose prop is adorable, as I said it's from Image Essentials, and it's called My Prince. You can find it at this month's round of Twe12ve, and the pose comes with the well and froggie props too!! 
She was on her way to market and stopped by the well... Looking so pretty in her hippy girl look... A Bette Dress shirt - from Blueberry - and a pair of Huntington Sandals - from Reign - she accessorised her hair with a Maiden Daisy Wreath. 
Will it be a prince or a case of poisoning?

Calling in the Spring

The weather has been so bad recently in RL in this part of the world. There is a cold wind blowing, the snow has been falling, and it's been icy cold. Not that I mind, I LOVE being wrapped up in a blanket where it's warm and snugly, preferably with a cup of tea and a good book, but it's about this time of year that I start getting twitchy and needing to feel a bit more life... it's about time that the Spring arrives... 
Even the Spirit of the Forest agrees, she's calling in the Spring in... 

Taken at the snowy Lakeside, she's watching, waiting and calling for the arrival of the spring... 
I have to admit that I'm very excited by this outfit... The set I'm wearing is from Tentacio and PSYCHO.Byts - that most brilliant of collaborations which is available at this month's round of The Epiphany - is the Children of Diana. You have the chance to win the body, which is the rare, but also flowery stuff, apple stuff and furry things, as well as some adorable companion pets like the little elephant called Big Moss. 
Now that she sings her song, calling in the spring let's hope it arrives and the world begins to get a little warmer?!

Hair: Truth - Caralisa in Redhead

Boho Flower Chic

Many of you who know me will know - or should at least - know by now that I am a little weird when it comes to dressing... I wear what tickles my fancy, and OK a lot of the time that is what I so lovingly refer to as grunge slutwear, there will always be countless times I will dress up in something totally different and throw people that try to guess my style off... 
Boho has never really been my thing though, I LOVE hippy chic, but I've never really been one for the Boho style. My big sister Solde on the other hand is gaga for boho! It's a style that she really enjoys, and she was so happy to see that the March BishBox was all gogo for boho! 
Come Soon had a Boho Pose Set in the Bish Box, for some lovely poses with your girlie friends, so when it came to taking the photo there was only one person that I needed to ask!!!

This has to be the BIGGEST pose prop from Come Soon ever! It's a gorgeous hippy style farmy location, complete with lots of little nooks and crannies that are so pretty, and four awesome poses. Solde and I are using pose number 2 or the Indie is Life pose, which was a release for this month's BishBox. 
Now of course, when there is a theme, I have to play dress up. Solde had the Boho theme wrapped up naturally, I was a bit more hippy and a bit less boho, but it's kinda the same thing really, right? 
Still the way I figure, it's two pretty girls with flowers in their hair, it seems to be fun no matter what you wanna call it!

Can Someone Save Me?

Ever have one of those days when all you want to do is shut out the world, curl up and sleep, all the while though your mind thinks 'someone save me!' Well today I am having one of those kind of days... I woke up this morning and although I LOVE thunderstorms I prefer not to have to go out in them and well wouldn't you know while I'm hiding from the rain in a metal bus shelter, the storm started! Add to that I am suffering from an emotional rollercoaster and BAM isn't it great to be Rudh right now?!
So the picture that I have chosen to share with you today is representative of that feeling of 'someone save me!' A princess locked in a tower, BUT there are signs of hope for her, someone has left her a rose... Who she doesn't know, but I'm hoping that like the princess, someone will leave me a rose - or show me my sparkle again or even just give me a hug randomly!

The rose is actually a part of the decoration on the Paper Moon Song's Ephemera Tray called My Lady Silver. This is part of a collection different trays that can be won at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, but each tray varies in theme... Some are more masculine, and others have food!!
The Princesses dress is actually one of my favourite freebies in a LONG time... It's a gorgeously coloured version of the Aura Gown from Valentina E, that you can get your hands on ABSOLUTELY FREE by joining The Fantasy Collective group and hitting the board on the Valentina E display!
I wonder if some handsome prince will come and whisk me away... HellBone is a sweetheart, but lacking in the romance department... Maybe someone like Sam Winchester please??

What is she wearing;

Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer do!

Not a traditional nursery rhyme by any stretch of the imagination, but it was definitely one of those adorable little songs that my mum used to sing to me, and one that I will no doubt sing to any children I may have in the future - not that I am having any, it's not on my agenda - and since those early days I have always loved flowers... Daisies - and sunflowers - being my favourites, so much so that I had them in my RL wedding bouquet!
So when I bought something at the latest round of Fi*Friday this weekend, I couldn't get the song out of my head... This may help that, then again, it may make it worse... I had to play with flowers... Had to...

The whole reason that this look started life was because of an outfit that I'd grabbed randomly as I flew through this round of Fi*Friday - I mentioned that before - but now I will admit that it wasn't something I'd normally have chosen... It's from a store called Bish Whet, and comes in a variety of different designs, though of course I grabbed the daisies as I headed in the direction of the shoe department!
I then went to town on accessories, as per usual... I wore an old but so pretty necklace from AZE Designs called Forest Treasures - it come's as part of a set but I chose to wear just the necklace on this occasion - then I added a Daisy Choker from [Buzzeri].
Finally to complete the look I chose to wear a hairstyle that was a little different from my normal long flowing locks. I chose a short, choppy one -sided style, that is a brand new release from adoness for The Dark Style Fair 2. I laced a Maiden Daisy Wreath from Shar's through this choppy half-bob and it just seemed to look perfect...
So perfect and serene that whilst I was taking my photographs, I was messaged someone that really put a smile on my face... Not naming names but the conversation went as follows;  
[01:34] Mr Stranger - at Ode: hmmm... are you a flower?
[01:35] Me: do I look like a flower?
[01:35] Mr Stranger: yes somehow you do 
YAY I look like a flower hehehe!

My last outing as a Photographer/ModeL

For the last three months, my fab designer sister - Solde Rothmanay - has asked such an amazing favour of me I have been a little flabbergasted to be honest. She had ads within a widely read SL modelling magazine called ModeLS - check out page 65, THAT's ME!!! LOL - and she had asked if I'd like to do the pictures for her! 
When am I ever going to have an opportunity like that again? So I said yes! The first month was a look fit for a shopping Diva, the second an anti-Valentine, and now...

This dress cried out for a bit of a hippy look... So flowers in my hair, flowers everywhere - check out Wanderstill, Ode if you don't know it! - and a bright, fun, summery dress to call in the warmer season in a gorgeous yellow colour... The dress is gorgeous, not a brand new release any more - though it was when the photo was being taken - the Soul Designs Marsh Retro Dress comes in a selection of different colours, but each has that summertime feeling! 
Just a side note, this is possibly the last time you will see me, human and unscarred for a while LOL... I feel so naked in this photo and I am fully dressed... Weird how that works huh?!
