A Strawberry Moon

A Strawberry Moon rises—soft, glowing, and full of magic.  Tonight, my heart is light, filled with hope and longing. Beneath this celestial charm, I search the stars with only one wish: To find my love.

Romance shimmers in the air,  

Every breeze whispers your name.

And as the moonlight dances on my skin, I know deep in my soul...

Love is near.  Tonight, under the strawberry moon, I believe. I hope. I love. And I wait for you.

I’m obsessed with shopping at Swank — and this show-stopping jacket and skirt set, Pride Jacket and Skirt

by Scarlet Fey (SF) It's is an absolute knockout. It's a bold, high-fashion pattern that channels the iconic style

of Europe’s legendary fashion houses. This is designed exclusively for LaraX, and comes with a 5-button

hud. There are only 20 pieces to be sold. That’s right — just 20. This is ultra-limited, high-impact fashion.

Don’t wait. Hit Swank now and claim yours before it’s gone.

I paired this look with two more exclusives at Swank.  I love the Indian styled bell earrings in gold called Jumbanel by Heartsdale Designs that come with a color-changing hud for the stones. These earrings add to almost every look imaginable and are my new go-to earrings. I also paired the Pride Jacket and Skirt with a colorful collar called Anawarkhi Necklace by {Druken Brokkr}. This ornate collar featuring a sun medallion and colorful inlay has an Aztec feel to it. I like the way the colors pick up the colors of the Pride Jacket.

Get loud. Get proud. Get ready to SLAY this Pride season. @ Swank V8 UnderGround

'Pride isn’t just a celebration—it’s a statement. A bold, unapologetic declaration of identity, unity, and unstoppable love. So why not show up in an outfit that turns heads and drops jaws? I hit up Swank and discovered the ultimate showstopper: the Alexandra Daddario outfit by V8 Underground. This isn’t just fashion—it’s a full-on Pride power move.

We’re talking fierce rainbow short shorts with side slits to show off those legs, a rainbow crop top with

fiery red satin sleeves that scream confidence, and red lace-up heels that demand attention. Add a garter,

thigh-high stockings, and you're not just dressed—you’re armed for the party.

But wait—it gets better. Alexandra Daddario comes complete with rainbow BOM face makeup, a sparkling rainbow tiara, and dazzling rainbow drop earrings. It's glam, it’s bold, it’s everything Pride should be. And yes, there’s even a bottle of champagne and a glass included—because this look doesn’t just celebrate, it owns the moment. Made for LaraX, Maitreya, Legacy, Reborn, and Reborn Waifus, this outfit fits like a second skin—and feels like freedom.

But let’s be real for a second: Pride is more than glitter and good vibes. It’s a reminder of the LGBTQ+ community’s fierce fight for equality—a fight that’s far from over. Rights are still being challenged. Voices are still being silenced. That’s why we celebrate, and why we keep pushing forward.

Pride is protest. Pride is power. Pride is personal. So this season, don’t just show up—show off. Be loud. Be proud. Be unstoppable.

I Fell in Love with a Cowgirl... New Jumo @ Swank

 There’s a saying in the country: “The heart follows the sound of boots on dry dirt.” I never believed much in sayings—until I met me! I rode up on a chestnut mare like I’d just stepped out of a painting. Long braids,  gorgeous midriff top, long sleeves, jeans with fringe down my long legs... leather gloves holding the reins with confidence because I knew this land better than any GPS.

Leaning against the weathered timbers of the Sheriff’s office, hat tilted just enough to shadow my eyes, I caught a glimpse of a stranger in a land of dusty spurs, silver buckles, and sunset stories. Howdy, he said, you look strong-willed, serene, and still as the prairie at dawn. I smiled. My name is Sita, and I am not the sheriff’s daughter — but I am the town’s best shot, and my horse Whiskey can outrun the wind.

If you want to stay a while, I will teach you how to saddle up in the morning and slow dance on a porch at dusk. Looking back, I didn’t just meet him by chance.  And, I know he met me by fate... standing proud, by the Sheriff’s office—where my heart would forever be held under his arrest.

Moonlight Dance & Capucine Black Gown - Sascha's Designs

His voice? Unforgettable. Smooth like a clarinet gliding over sultry saxophone notes—pure magic. Just the sound of it sets my pulse to a slow, steady rhythm, like the hush of twilight wrapping around my heart. In a world that often feels hollow, I found something real. I found him. Tonight, I’m waiting in an empty ballroom, breathing in the anticipation, dressed to captivate in the jaw-dropping new gown from Sascha’s Designs—Capucine Black Gown. 

This gown? It’s a showstopper. An edgy, asymmetrical masterpiece that bares one shoulder while the other is draped in the softest, most luxurious feathers you’ve ever felt—feathers that dance on the breeze like they’ve got secrets of their own. I’m obsessed with the dramatic detail: a black satin sleeve that ends in a bold feather flourish, like a whisper of scandal in the dark.

Sweets for the Sweet - Ayesha by Black Angel Store @Swank

Ready to turn heads this season? I’ve sworn off sweets IRL (yes, bikini season is calling), but I’ve found something even more irresistible—the Ayesha dress by Black Angel Store. This knockout piece isn’t just a dress—it’s a full-on mood. The color instantly reminded me of my favorite French pastry filled with raspberry crème—rich, indulgent, unforgettable. French pastries aren’t just food—they're edible art, a rush of flavor and finesse. Think buttery croissants, zesty tarte au citron, decadent mille-feuille… every bite a masterpiece. 

Now, imagine wearing that kind of deliciousness. Ayesha serves that same energy: sweet, stunning, and a little sinful. With a flirt-worthy skirt featuring two front slits and a floral and plain pattern, a gold chain that hugs your waist just right, a scoop neckline, and slightly puffed long sleeves repeating the floral pattern—this dress drips confidence and charm. And yes, the fit? Perfection. 

The Ayesha skirt is tailored for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. The top? Flawlessly made for Bombshell, Erika, Kupra, Larax (and Larax Petite), Legacy (and Legacy Perky), Maitreya (and Maitreya Petite). Wrap it all up with a killer pair of heels made for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya (I'm rocking them with Larax), and you've got a look that's as addictive as the pastries I’m dreaming about.  It also has a color changing hud. Serve looks. Skip the sugar. Ayesha’s all the sweetness you need.

KiraStyle is Fun @ Swank and Everywhere

There’s undeniable power in expressing yourself. I know you feel it, especially when your inner confidence shines as brightly as your outer flair.  I feel that way sometimes, like right now! I combined 132 by KiraStyle, coming with sleek latex shorts and two interchangeable tops, you can mix and match depending on your mood or the moment. The best part?  132 comes with a color-changing HUD for all three pieces, so your look evolves as much as you do. It's designed to fit LaraX, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifius.

To complete the look, I paired 132 Kira Sytle with the “Relax” tattoo by Kira Tattoo; it has so many cool symbols. It’s available in 50%, 75%, and 100% opacity, giving you control over how bold you want to go. “Relax” is compatible with BOM Classic, Lelutka EVO, Catwa, and Genus heads, making it as flexible as it is beautiful. This look isn’t just fashion. It’s freedom.  It could even be you!
