Summer Retreat

Hey gang I'm not going to be on this weekend, but I just had to share again how much I love the Matilda's Getaway cottage I bought at the Home Expo!  Here's a few pics and just a real quick cut and paste about where to find them.  I hope the pictures are worth a thousand words!  Smallest house I ever bought... but just so perfect for summertime relaxing!

Just Dance With Me

Tonight I managed to get happily whisked away to go dancing with a very handsome man. *swoon*

Just a friend, mind you, but oh what a delight to actually spend the evening having fun, listening to music, and dancing the night away.

We couldn't have found a more perfectly dreamy place than the Amorosa Ballroom, and if you're looking for a beautiful experience in a formal fairytale castle, Amorosa is well worth a visit.

I'm wearing Utopia's Frida gown (previously blogged here), and just love how smoothly it flows.  Perfect for a romantic evening out dancing, and you may find your cares floating away as the soft wisps of silk swirl around you. The gown comes with multiple top options and accessories of which I chose only the necklace and gloves.

Jake is wearing the incredible Modern-Black-Open Suit by Lapoint & Bastchild, Radiant Midnight hair by LAQ, LaVie Mark skin: Goatie2 Eyeliner Cut Hairbase, and 380 Outlander Mesh Boots.

My hair is Lelutka Daisy mesh hair (blogged here), and skin is Ludicia in Tan by Filthy that I've blogged before (here), but just couldn't help wearing again.  I really love Filthy skins and the detail and workmanship that went into creating these. Eyes are Mayfly Liquid Light Mesh eyes.

Sometimes it's too easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life events and let things drag you down and it's times like tonight I cherish. The beautiful surroundings, great music, and the hand of a friend pulling me onto the dance floor and reminding me it's okay to let go sometimes. Thank you Jake, I had a lovely time.

Enchanted,
Boudica Destiny

Rose Colored Jackets

The new Sugar hair by Tameless is beautiful. I love how it drapes across my eye, framing my face with smooth and silky shine.  As always, Tameless hair comes with color change built in, including highlights, which I love.

I'm wearing G Field Bolero, Lace Shirt, and Alex Strap Shoes, paired with the divine Moto leather pants from Fishy Strawberry, and Tameless piercings and lashes.  Polishing off the look I stopped by the Tropicalia Bazaar II on the Purple Moon sim and found the Ludicia skin by Filthy, Dorothy Cat Eye glasses by Purple Moon, and poses by Art Body Store and Wet Cat. LOVE this skin by Filthy.  The lips are kissable and not overglossed, and the eyes are lovely, with delicate almost petulant brows.

The Cat Eye glasses are really great and are color change in all parts of the frame between brown and orange, with shades of opacity for the lenses to achieve your perfect look.  Another feature with the Sugar hair from Tameless is the braid attachment, which I am wearing here draped over my fabulous Survivor jacket by SEY.  I'm in love with SEY jackets and the only thing that could make them better is if they were Mesh (nudge nudge... ok beg!).  My go-to jacket of the season, it's hard to part me from my red Survivor jacket. Even inside. Next to a roaring fire...

Rose colored jackets are the tune of the day, and here I sweeten the sugary look with the R.icielli Stefani Rose Blazer and the new Chrissie hair by Tameless.  A playful ponytail style, I'm digging the "bangs in my face you just want to reach out and brush them back from my eyes" look.

Tropicalia Bazaar II is home to the Tropicalia Magazine office upstairs, where you can browse past covers of the magazine on the wall, posing hopefully to be scouted out as the next hot star.  Adding some edge to the look, I choose the R.icielli Alexandra leather jacket in (pick me! pick me!) red. Gotta say, these Moto leather pants from Fishy Strawberry are really scrumptious!  And when I'm not using a mesh viewer and licking my divinely crafted Maitreya mesh leather leggings... I'm prancing around in these lovelies.

Now, this jacket looks amazingly like another jacket in my inventory from Stars Fashion Mall (blogged here), and when I looked closer I found that the base sculpts are, in fact, the same, and most likely from a kit.  Some people may shy away from designs made from sculpt kits, but it's the personal touches, the texturing and additional details that a designer adds, like this one from R.icielli that make it stand out as a great design on its own.

Muahs!
