New Year and Mr. X - New releases by Heart Homes and Jumo @ Sneak Peek

New Year and resolutions... I asked Mr. X if he had any and he scoffed at me because he believes you should continually try to better yourself and be "nice" to people every day not just on New Year's Day.

Sitting around the new Candlelight Dinner Set by Aphrodite at Heart Homes we wondered just how the tradition of New Years Resolutions began.

This table comes with a 5 step menu of options from rezzing plates, lights, hats and even tiara's (just touch the New Year's sign by the champagne) to turning the lights on and off.  And, because it is Aphrodite at Heart Homes, the dinner is delicious and romantic!

As for resolutions, the earliest recorded were traced to the ancient Babylonians that made promises to return stolen objects and pay their debts.  The Romans made promises to Janus, in medieval times knights took a "peacock" vow... and the this tradition has continued through the centuries......So Mr. X what will you New Year's resolution be?  We  want to know.

Since I am in a festive mood, I am wearing Jumo's exclusive cocktail dress called Khanna Outfit in Lavender (it comes in many jewel tone colors.  This dress is brilliantly embellished  with jewels and an applique of flexi plumes that scream Happy New Year!

Khanna comes with a gorgeous diamond necklace and earrings as well as divine High High High heels for slink high feet -- of course!

Sneak Peek is Open! Exclusive by Zibska and Mr. X

Take a SNEAK PEEK  at the list of great designers along with a full preview of what’s in store for you this round that begins Dec. 25 and runs through Jan. 5. Wandering around Sneak Peek, with Mr. X, I could not resist this fanciful dress called Caja by Zibska.

This sheath mini dress, called Caja comes with a lavish feather collar sure to keep you cozy in the coldest times...and the short skirt is sure to heat things up!

Style will matter today, I announce boldly to Mr. X.  And, Caja has a convenient hud that comes with  a choice of nine unique jewel tone colors to choose from making it fun to mix and match.

And, yes, it it's all about the silk. How it feels against your skin in the cold winter air. Remember when you always use to dress in it?  Or how you adored a choice of bold colors? Taking sides?  Remember those nights when you were closer to those friends that sometimes drank too much and said too much (but were always fun)?

I have paired Caja with a new shoe release by Wicca Merlin called Carrie Heels - Winter Edition.  The heels  comes with a handy color changing hud offering 5 shoe colors and a variety of heel and metal accents to choose from.

Mr. X Lingers with Brilliant by !Lyrical B!zarre

Wonderful. Terrifying.  Possibly clairvoyant. The Snow Queen turns you to ice with a mere glance...and smiles when you cannot move. Oh yes.

Regal in this lavish new gown appropriately named Brilliant by !Lyrical B!zarre, it is available December at Courier Docks. There are only 50 copies of this exclusive and at 50% off!  This is a must have gown because it is perfect for any formal occasion.

Mr. X loves the Elizabethan lace collar and is reminded that the clear eyed Snow Queen knows more than she really wants to and never lets on.  The pearl and ruby head piece is an impeccable addition to this look that is haute with a historic vibe.

The sides of Brilliant are like waves of festive ribbon candy that flow with the cold north wind warming Mr. X and encouraging him to linger longer in the Snow Queens frozen realm.

Winter Silence -- Mr. X and the Ice Queen

Mr. X walked through the gates of her palace, a biting wind followed him through the landscape of velvet white.  She sits on a glittering crystal ice throne surrounded by her faithful white wolves.

The Ice queen, so beautiful to look at. Crystal blue eyes and white hair that shimmers with snowflakes in the setting sun. She glides through her ice world with the ease of a goddess. Effortlessly.  Like breathing.  Like a heartbeat in the dead of winter.

The Ice Queen wears a fabulous white gown of swirling flakes and ice... she is beguiling and beautiful... alluring as sugar icing.... Mr. X does not want to leave this frozen kingdom with moonbeams shining on fresh snow and ice.  They dance and spin snow dusted and regal.

Mr. X and the Faun - J&A - Lyrical B!zarre and 7 deadly s[K]ins

The Lady of the River sent Mr. X to visit the Queen of the Fauns... deep in the emerald forest... she lived in a land devoid of lies and pain.

He heard the call of her wood-flute and then saw her gleaming in a jeweled top and crown made by Lyrical B!zaare Templates  for 2014 J&A Expo called Goddess of Issas.  The skin is a new release by 7 deadly [s]kins called Fauna 3 and is available at Frozen.

The Queen of the Fauns told Mr. X that his journey must take him through dark reeds, wet with rain. Past river foam that sings and enchants.  A place where he will have to beware of the Mysian Maids  and their sister Naiad Nymphs.... that call Hylas home and sing praises to Artemis deep into the night.

This skin, Fauna 3 is detailed and evocative... sure to set the night on fire especially when worn with this opulent  and jeweled top and crown by Lyrical B!zaare Templates.  The back of this set of jewels is as gorgeous as the front of it.

Mr. X stays a long while drinking spring water from a golden ewer.  The moon was full. He saw her emerge from the emerald shadows of the forest.  His heart filled with desire.  Eagerly he kissed her gentle lips... and ...........

Dancing in Fiji - Wicca, Sascha & Holy Shirt Oh my

Dancing with him on the beach.  I am wearing  Wicca's Gambler  Zebra Heels,  Sascha's Designs NEW  Peek a boo top and Holy Shirt's high top maxi skirt.  The new skin called  Keiko  in the blossom  tone by October4Seasons is beyond sexy---- Mr X is totally ---bedazzled.... I like that! 

Wearing Gambler Heels in Zebra by Wicca's Wardrobe  Is there any way to lose ---really?    The gambler  heels are  great the dice heels and  tips are just so much fun.... 

Away from the man-made lights. Away from the Shangri-La. Away from the rugby team's Cibi war dance ( he liked that a lot rolls eyes, men). 

And this skin, Keiko in blossom is exotic and a must have  and comes with 4 distinct hand drawn make-ups... and all the appliers  available.  Mr. X  just cannot but help himself  --- he has to kiss me .... but  then again-- I never kiss and tell.

Ocean waves fill your ears. He has you close.

The night sky is alive with celestial lights. You've heard about it. You came here to see it. The dancing makes it even easier to see. The mysterious glow of Magellanic Clouds and silver star clusters capture your eyes as he watches you.

He will say, "I never knew you could dance... like that."
