Worth Defending

Some things...some values...are worth defending.  Be that in a galaxy far, far away, or right in your own back yard. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In these days of entire planet angst, stand up for what's right. Be informed and vote...wisely. Protect the innocents - children, the elderly, and animals. They have no voice in this world. The saying, "it takes a village," holds true even more so today. What do you fight for? What values are important to you?

Where IS that Taxi?

I called for a taxi 10 minutes ago - where ARE they? Don't they know I've got to get to events to shop? It's a matter of consumer life or death!

Krew, VG Shoes and Frayed Knot are showcasing at the Trending Event this month. Krew offers us this sexy top & skirt combo, called Ashanti. Take a look at the color options for your favorite. My heels for Slink High are Sidney in red by VG Shoes. I need just a touch of animal print often in my life, and these do the trick stylishly! Frayed Knot's telephone booth is a fun decor build with only 9Li. See how many people you can squeeze in it. ;)

Here is Bridget by Phoenix Hair. Bridget is available at the Tres Chic Event that started today, so you don't have to wait! Isn't she gorgeous? The color pack of your choice or go wild with a fatpack - whichever way she's got to hop onto your head.

There's lots of Zoz newness at Cosmopolitan. This polish pack is called Romance Glitter. Don't make me swat your hands to get you to check out these pretty polishes!

Sneak peek! Image Essentials has bunches of poses soon-to-be at the Hipster Fair. The event doesn't start until February 22nd, so mark you calendars to find Image Essentials at the fair then! The two poses I'm using are from the Clutch set.

Swank at Home

Did you know that the Swank Event offers more than clothing? Take for example this impressive collection of furniture and decor by Wood Works. So many beautiful items to use together or separately. One idea may be to intersperse the pieces in different rooms for black accents throughout your home. Note: you can add your own pics to the Hearts as One frames (shown over my fireplace).

Below is another Swank offering - Keresma's Babydoll Ribbon Dress. There are several colors to choose from, pick your favorite(s). This dress is fitted for mesh or classic avies. It's delightfully romantic and lacy.

I've been living in my Sandy Saddle Shoes by Slipper Originals! They're just so cute. These shoes are available at the Trending Event that starts today! I'll be showing you more from Trending in upcoming posts, there are sooo many more goodies.

Trending with Distinction

Power is like being a lady...if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

                               ~~Margaret Thatcher

The Trending Event starts February 10th, mark your calendars for the lovely items with event discounts! Trending will include a collection of original designs. Distinction, a participating store, offers up this lovely applier top & skirt combo, in six different colors. 

Lovely Zoz nails at Cosmo! This is one of the hud options for Angel Heart in White. They are also available with gold tips for Valentine prettiness!

*Kate* has created this gorgeous Crystalline watch. There are several colors available, and are 100% original mesh. I keep my eye on Kate's creations, they are lovely and it's always great to support designers of original items. This is certainly one of the prettiest watches I've seen on SL. The hands move! I'll be showing you different colors of the Crystalline watch in upcoming posts; it's so jewelry-like it will coordinate well with many outfits.

Valentine Oopsie

My guy is the greatest; he bought me this jewelry for Valentine's Day. And sweetly dictated I'm not to spend any money on him. I must do something, of course. What to do. I know, a simple but heartfelt love note! 

Now where to put the love note so he'll see it. What does he love almost as much as me? I know! His classic '73 Beetle! He'll definitely see a love note there.

Perhaps I should have put the note on the fridge...something about the adhesive ruining the paint job? Aren't we overreacting just a bit? ;)

I am thrilled and incredibly honored to be selected to blog for Swank Events. Included in this post are four designers exhibiting their creations at Swank, which opens tomorrow! I have listed them first in credits below. 

Trending starts February 10th! It's a new event for original creations. I have been selected to blog for this Event as well; my happy dance continues. Slipper Originals contributes Sandy Saddle Shoes for the event and they're adorable!

So many events and goodies! Please visit the Events and Stores for all the wonderfulness.
