Quiet after the storm

 Snow has fallen through the night and in the early light the gardens and hills glint in an unearthly glow. I am pierced with longing- if only this quiet and these lovely memories again become reality. Stories of summer drinks on the loggia where we held court. Ah yes, those were the sweet last days of summer. I am wearing something new, sleek, and sexy all at the same time called Sabrina by Melody. It is an off-the-shoulder number with fabulous diagonal cutouts that make this dress stand out. It is made for maitreya worn, classic, curvy, legacy, and reborn. It also comes with a color-changing hud.

I paired this look with shoes by Evie called Amy Shoes. I love the juxtaposition of the super mod dress with the cute shoes with their dotted socks.  The shoes are made for belleza classic, curvy, legacy, reborn and maitreya (worn) and they come with a fab color changing hud.

The Necklace and earrings are by Zuri Rayna and care called Mystic. I love the intricacy of the sapphire/plum necklace and drop earrings. Best of all you can control the bling on this set that is really easy to resize if necessary.

Wisteria and More...

In the moonlight, the color and scent of wisteria seem far away...... the breeze comes in sudden puffs, so soft and gentle like a pond with sunlight glistening on the deep blue water...  that ripples under her artful fingertips...

I adore this new look by Fuyuko Kanna created by V8 UnderGround, an exclusive at  Swank.

It is the cutest Japanese look that comes with shoes, a headpiece, an obi, a sugar drink with poses

even a panda bear! It is made for Maitreya (worn), kupra, legacy, reborn, and reborn waifu.  

I idle along the scented path... to while away the hour, he will come soon, I know it in my heart... Mr. X will emerge soon

and I just can't wait for that adventure -- can you?

Maiden of Summer - Luxe Paris and Heartsdale Jewelry

When I close my eyes I see Coventry House. In the darkness, as I lay down to sleep, I see the stone frontage in the glow of the late afternoon. The sunlight glints off the upper windows and the air is heavy with the scents of magnolia and salt. Ivy clings to the porch archway, and a magpie pecks at the lichen coating a limestone roof tile. Smoke seeps from one of the great chimneystacks, and the leaves on the unfilled lime avenue are May green and cast mottled patterns in the long drive. 

Everyone is just out of sight. I can hear the ring of the drinks tray being prepared; on the terrace, a bowl of pink camellias rests on the table. And in the bay,  fishing boats bounce on the tide, nets cast wide, the slap of water against wood. I wait for him as I am not exiled yet.

Those summers were long and hot. I remember it all, or at least I think I do. And, yet, he remains, a smooth pebble of a memory. Coventry, Coventry. As though if I say the name enough I can go back again. It doesn't seem that long ago to me. I have replayed each moment so often in my mind that  I hear my own voice in every part. On the page we live again, young and unknowing, everything yet to happen.

Sita Seeks Rouge - Sascha's Designs....

Who can sail without the wind?  I love the colors of the islands of the South Seas... glittering paradise shaped like a pearl floating in an azure sea which is why I am wearing the new cocktail dress by Sascha's  Designs called Rouge in teal/azure. I feel as exotic as a tropical breeze in this gorgeous dress with its deep slit with an off-the-shoulder top. I particularly like the detail of the feathers at my wrist... a nod to a bird of paradise, Mr. X likes that. And the hat reminds me of an abstract flower -- it is fun, sophisticated, and retro all at the same time.

Rouge is made for larax and MB, Maitreya (worn) , legacy and perky, reborn and waiful, legacy and reborn. It comes in so many wonderful colors...

Polka Dots like Love Potion #9 - Beauty Style

I love this little number by Beauty  Style called 195 which is an exclusive at Swank. Black and  white polka dots are so old and so new... they are just always in style.

Polka dots have a long and storied history back to medieval times. The pattern was originally associated with disease and uncleanliness because it resembled the blotches and boils caused by smallpox and the plague. However, the invention of the sewing machine around the 1750s made it possible to create perfectly round and evenly spaced dots, and the pattern became more popular during the 1800s. The pattern also got its name from the polka, a lively European dance craze that swept the continent in the 1840s.
