Croissant and the City

Do you remember when the round croissant was the MUST HAVE breakfast treat for insta photos such? It wasn’t that long ago right? Well Here I am in the city with a latte and my round croissant. When I was in NYC last June I went to an Italian bakery and they had croissant cubes! Of course I had to get one because, just because it was too cool not to, and I love carbs so it was a win-win for me. I wish I had taken a picture before I dove into it. It was raspberry filled and just magical.

I am pretty sure that if chocolate had been an available cube flavor I would have taken that one back to the hotel too! I wish I looked this fabulous when my non-digital bum was in the city. I however was in shorts and sneakers since it was summer. Maybe next time. Anyway if you have a chance to eat a non-traditional shaped croissant I say do it! Heck even “normal” croissants need to be eaten. I may just be hungry at this point so credits for you and food for me.

Storms Brewing

Ironically I took these pictures before I had to leave my house due to an impending hurricane back in the beginning of October. Luckily we didn’t have any damage but spending so much time in the car I am off road trips for a while! And hurricanes, but I have more control over the road trips than the weather.

I am sure there are some quotes out there about weathering a storm or something but today is not the day to go searching for that. I will however tell you to live every moment to its fullest because you never know when a storm will hit (I mean a proverbial storm not the predictable weather type).

Corn Maze

Go to a corn maze, it will be fun they said. Sure it’s all fun and games till you get yourself all turned around and start thinking of the minotaur and his labyrinth. Maybe that is just me and my recent delve into all sorts of mythology. In all honesty in the non-digital world I am pretty good at corn mazes, but then again they do give you an aerial view of the maze.

In SL however I get lost easier than, well something very easy. For example I get lost several times at The Fantasy Faire each year and at some other events too. It can be a bit daunting as you can see from the look I have going on here. Or maybe I am just trying to show off my pumpkin-y manicure.

Good Morning?

Today I am waking up and choosing violence! Not in my non-digital life though, I am way too soft to survive prison. I think my look is what would happen if Zeus somehow managed to reproduce with a storm cloud. I don’t know, that god seems to let his freak flag fly. I think if there was a way to *ahem* fornicate with cloud he would find it. I may still be high from last night at this point hence the Greek god ramble.

Oooh look shiny! I wonder what kind of chaos I could create with a little ball of energy like this. Oh the possibilities…

Not Ready to Say Goodbye

We got a little sneak peek at the cold winter we are to expect here in the south last week and let me say it makes me want to hold tight to fall (I mean I do have a little bit till it’s officially winter). I will however happily trade pumpkin spice lattes for peppermint mochas. Of course, I don’t have to miss out on seeing geese because in theory because this is the south they fly to in the winter. I have already seen a flock by the pond near my home.

The Reluctant Warrior

Practicing archery skills is not a favorite way to spend a sunny day for our friend here. She prefers to sip her tea and read rather than shoot at targets. I am sure her instructor will be looking for her shortly so I hope she can get her tea finished in time!

Feeling 17

Taylor may have felt twenty-two, but today I am channeling my inner seventeen year old. I say that because when I saw this outfit at Kustom9 a couple months (I think) ago it reminded me of my youngest child in the non-digital world. Their haircut may not be the same, but it is dyed the same. And they are forever wearing boots of some style, but you don’t want to know about my child’s wardrobe.

Well that was interesting. As I was writing this post my mouse decided to roll over and die. Sometimes life just doesn’t want me to be productive I swear. I think I am going to just get to the credits before something else decides it wants to get in on the fun!

Always a Good Time…

For cookies! At least to me it’s always a good time for cookies. I mean there are such things as breakfast cookies so that means they are good anytime of day. Generally I don’t do milk with my cookies, unless it’s an Oreo and I am in the mood for dunking.

On cold days in the winter I love to bake because it warms up the house, makes it smell good and leaves me with something delicious to eat. In fact it was cold in my non-digital life yesterday so I baked some brownies. I may have even had one as a midnight snack, but don’t let cookies know I cheated on them! That is enough rambling from me. I will be back with a blogging vengeance (no for real!) as soon as I am house guest free.

A Case Of The Blues

This year has been off to a busy start! I have already had a house guest for almost two weeks and then I am off to visit family for another later this month! Of course that doesn’t mean things are all rosy, hence the blues. I won’t get into it here, but let’s just say the non-digital world has slapped me with a harsh reality. On the plus side this old blogger has learned some new tricks! Check it out.

Look at that little circle close up of my rings. I know it’s about time I started doing something like this. Next time I will make sure I do the same thing for my earrings!

A Little Artsy

It’s Tuesday which means I will be showing off my picture(s) for the BVN Blogger/Vlogger Challenge. This weeks theme was/is ” You Can Leave Your Hat On”. There were so many idea that went through my head, but this is the one I settled on.

I will admit I may have had a gummy before I took the picture or when I had the idea for it or both. I was aiming for something “artistic”. I just used windlight magic to take the photo, only photoshopping done was to crop the picture.

Of course this is a fashion blog first and foremost so, here is what I looked like with the lights on.
