The Boathouse Cafe

Moving to Washington wasn’t a choice, it was a neccessity. I felt like I was suffucating in the Albuquerque dust, wanting something but knowing I’d never get it. So, I ran, and it rained for two full weeks. I drove to a waterfront as soon as the clouds cleared, and I sat. I thought I would feel free, but I was drowning in lost dreams. Clear blue water did not cure my sadness, so I had to pull something from deep within me and fix myself. Escape was not the answer because it was only the beginning.

So Cowgirl

I’m feeling so cowgirl right now. I decided to focus on accessories that can only be found at Rock Your Rack 2025.

Vesta’s Cass boots and Tero hat are deliciously intricate. They definitely have their own personalities.

AVAinc. Pony Express Bag is a limited item that emphasizes your waist. Love the curves, ladies.

Luna’s nails are the perfect compliment because they are an ode to honest desert living (trust me, I live in New Mexico)

You don’t only have to shop! Rock your Rack has plenty of events to look out for on October 5th! Click here to see the full schedule.

C’est la vie

Good or bad, sometimes we just have to go with the flow. Two of the things I love about Rock Your Rack are that it celebrates the lives of those we lost and dedicates itself to promoting awareness and raising vital funds. Each creator comes up with something special, and I felt a special affinity for 4U’s Haute Couture 027. I love the pattern (for you fellow Swifties out there, I feel ‘Reputation’ vibes, IYKYK) and the in-your-face sculpted hat.

Visit Rock Your Rack and shop for a purpose! Click here for your ride.

I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve…

So does Pose Fair, and it’s all good. I felt like “Cowboy Like Me” by Taylor Swift so Tribal Tuesday’s “Evening Star” called out to me. There’s nothing better than sipping on a cup of tea while strumming your guitar.

When it comes to XMAS shopping, I don’t discriminate…

Naughty? Nice? Who cares when it comes to shopping for people you disagree with and barely know? Yeah, I feel obligated to get small gifts for my co-workers. I know, I know. Kinda hateful for Christmas, right? Anyway, I love, absolutely love, buying gifts for my family. The shipping is a bitch, but I should have started earlier lol. Do you have a naughty and nice list?

“On the [boat] ride of our lives…”

Going nowhere fast? Slow down and drift in Amitie Boat Days and see where you end up. That’s right. Pose Fair is back! Amitie Boat Days let you travel solo, with a friend, or with your lover. For this ride, Sunshine is my companion, even in the dusk. 😉

We pass knowing we're fearless.jpg

When riding solo, you have 7 animations to choose from. Six are mirrored. Want to travel the open waters with a friend? Choose from 4 animations to set the scene. See above and below for examples!

Going nowhere fast.jpg

Can’t leave your bae behind? You’ll get four couple animations to show the love. PG love that is, unless you like to go boating au naturel. Want Amitie Boat Days like now. Don’t fear. Pose Fair officially opens October 1! Until then, how about you check out Flickr for more sneak peeks?

Listening to

 

“My, my, how the seasons go by…”

It’s my second fall in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sorry, I have to clarify the state because I’m from New Mexico. We have a Las Vegas too, but it’s not the glitter and glam of Sin City. Anyway, my first fall here was strange. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Now, I’ve noticed fall/winter wear paired with summer wear, and it’s typically warm on top and cool on the bottom.

My, my, how the seasons go by

Fall fashion has hit SL, but true to my new RL home, I mixed fall and summer. Actually, I did this in New Mexico too. Maybe it’s a desert upbringing? Regardless, PurpleMoon Creations‘ Sola Vest is cozy and chic and is available in a variety of patterns via a HUD, so you can go rawr or snuggly.  You’ll find the Sola Vest at Tres Chic until October 10th.  Click PurpleMoon at Tres Chic for your taxi.
