Hello Gang,

It's been awhile since I last posted and I want to apologize to my friends and fans for the disappearance.  Real Life grid has been a hectic place this spring, and while it's been keeping me busy, I've been longing for a little "Me" time to log in and enjoy SL.

While I've been gone, the Petites craze has been taking off, and I'm looking forward to blogging about some Petite looks soon.  But today, I'm playing catch up on opening up and enjoying the generous gifts of some very talented designers that have sent me some things while I was away.  Thank you for your generosity and for sharing your beautiful talents with me!

Today, I will be highlighting a sexy little black dress from Stars Fashion called "Lovingly Black", and I adore it.  The flouncy ruffles at the bust are sure to be a tease, and the tempting bow tied at the front also a nice touch.

A fun dress that you can dress up or down, and would even be lovely as a tunic top over jeans, leggings or tights.  The dress also comes with a pair of black ankle booties, though I decided to show another pair of shoes with this dress today.

The shoes are the new mesh "Pry." heels by Chandelle with rhinestones and little bows dressing up the back of the heel.  Love these!  Also from Chandelle, the super adorable Emie Rabbit skin with painted on whiskers and "kiss me now" lips.  Je t'adore!  Shown here with hairbase.  Chandelle, I adore it!  Thank you~

Crowning the look, the beautiful mesh Sybille2 tresses in cinnamon from Wasabi Pills.  Can't say enough good about this hair.  Oh, and they make hair for Petites too!  I *love* having full lovely hair draping over my chest without prims poking through.  Mesh mesh mesh... love it!


Much Loves... Muah!
Boudica Destiny

Violante

I was chatting with a friend of mine about her daughter who is sick.  I sure hope she feels better soon and I know how worried she is for her daughter.  I don't know what it is lately, but so many people I know are sick or have family members who are struggling with colds and flu (or worse) lately.  Wherever you are, I hope you're staying safe, happy and healthy!

It got me thinking again though about plants and herbs and wanting to grow a bigger garden again this spring, and how something seemingly so simple could be so healing in a natural and gentle way.  I suggested to my friend that she find an herbal store in her area and get some Lemon Balm tea for her daughter.  It's one of those soothing plants that when you're sick, if you cannot even keep down water, you'll be able to keep down Lemon Balm tea.  One of my favorites, and if my friend were not halfway around the world I'd go out to my yard and snip her some fresh leaves and brew a fresh tea for her now.

It's a strange thing the synchronicity of the universe.  My thinking about herbs, and being given this beautiful herbalists outfit and hair from Fantavatar & Moonstruck!! Here is the Violante dress in purple and I just LOVE it!  I did have to edit the sleeves to be small enough for my avatar since I'm short, but once I got it adjusted I just love how it fits.

It comes with two belt options, one plain or this beautifully detailed herbalists belt with pouches, fresh herbs, a little knife, and little scrolls.  The dress also comes with a modesty shirt, but I couldn't get mine to rez well for the photo. And the hair... oh the hair!!  Fantavatar and Moonstruck is now making hair! The braids and tendrils and wonderful silk ribbon details are color change.   I love this style... called Medieval 006.

I love the way Fantavatar and Moonstruck send my deliveries in this cute little cart.  Just gets me all in the mood to go adventuring.  Now.. you may have noticed this beautiful skin I'm wearing.  This is Anna2 from Chandelle and I just love it!  I will be doing a more in-depth review of this skin soon, so keep an eye out.

If you are looking for beautiful and very realistic clothing for Medieval, Renaissance or Fantasy role-play, or if you want beautiful hair for a wedding or other event, please take a visit over to Fantavatar & Moonstruck for some lovely and high quality creations.  You can also keep in touch with them on the Fantavatar blog.

Good health.. and good fashion to you!
Boudi Loves You!

Chasing The Dressing Room Bus

This vest is MESH and I love it!  Great for either guys or gals, it's the perfect glamorous topper for your fashionable ensembles.

Ginerva Winter

I'm a huge Dressing Room fan, as many of you know.  The dressing room is a discount store that highlights some new and often exclusive color releases from some of Second Life's finest designers, at intro prices that won't break the bank, and are great for filling up your closet with high quality go-to pieces.  Often I drop by to see what is new, and look for great deals on clothing, shoes, accessories, skins, and hairs.

This week is no exception.  Your Skin & Your Shape has long been showcased at The Dressing Room, and again I am wowed with another YS&YS beautiful skin.  Perfect for my current wintery mood, the Ginerva skin in "Winter" in a special makeup shade for The Dressing Room. I adore the muted powdery skin, and delicate lips.

Also found this week at The Dressing Room is the beautiful Charis sweater dress by Baiastice. I just love the sculpted drop shoulder to this sweater.

If you haven't been there in awhile, or if you've never heard of it, now is a great time for a trip to The Dressing Room

Carriage Trade

Some friends lured me away from work and took me exploring today, to a roleplay sim called Carriage Trade.  Thank you Leanna, Mera, and ArtWolf!

If you're in the mood for a Victorian/Edwardian Equestrian village, this is just the place. At the landing point you can find a free Edwardian gown and hat by Debutante, and there is even an outfit for men.

Wearing our visitor tags, we met Ivy Myst, and Moonsorrow Magic, our two guides, who led us on a lovely carriage ride tour.

Carriage Trade is home to many Equine avatars, and Ivy informs me there are other animals as well as some humans. They hold many weekly events, races, and foxhunts, though no animals are ever harmed of course. It's all in good fun.

Go take a trip over to Carriage Trade for some delightful vintage shopping and experience a new community of friendly and very helpful roleplayers.

Enchantedly Yours...
Boudica

Lacecapade

My last photo blog of the Georgette Lace Cocktail dress by Connors was missing one very important feature... the beautiful front rosette detailing. This piece went *poof* when I wore my necklace as they both share the same attachment point (chest), and I completely missed it. Here is another view to show you just how fabulous this dress really is. Find it at the Vintage fair while it lasts, or at the Connor's mainstore.

Mwah!
Boudi loves you!

Vintage Lace

Strolling along the Jersey Shore, winter teases along the waters edge with feathery touches of snow...

I'm wearing the lovely new vintage Georgette Lace Cocktail dress by Connors and I love the way the fabric moves with the tiered skirt draping delicately from the thighs, accentuating my hourglass figure. The delightfully lovely rosette tie detailing nestles at the back, adding movement and furthering the vintage appeal of this great dress.

It felt so perfect to tie in the rosette detailing from the back, by adding the LULU rose necklace by Donna Flora. 

Stepping into perfect pair of footwear for my stroll I added the stylishly well-turned ankle boots by Bax Coen.

Come - stroll with me...
Boudica
