these boots were made for walking

I did some shopping today (big surprise there lol) and one of the places I went to was VG Shoes who were participating in 55L Thursday.  I got some really gorgeous boots from there...

And the really great thing about them is you get two pairs for 55 lindens!! The red and black which I'm showing here and black and red as well.

Autumn Challenge

Feeling better today so I decided to participate in Strawberry Singh's new meme.

1. Is Autumn your favourite season? Why or why not? It absolutely is my fave season of the year. I love that the temperature is just right - not too warm and not too cold and the colours are just incredible although I could do without all the rain we usually get here in the UK.

2. Do you call it Autumn or Fall? Autumn. We don't really use the word Fall to describe this season in the UK.

3. What kind of weather does your area get during this season? Temperatures can range from 40-60 F and we get everything from rain to sunshine to gale force winds (sometimes in the same day).

4. Which colour do you always associate with Autumn? Orange - makes me think of the leaves changing colour.

5. Which Autumn themed sim is your favourite at the moment? I don't really have one yet as I haven't had a chance to do much exploring yet.

What I'm wearing:

Skin - YS&YS - Rachel (ocean)
Eyes - IKON - Sunrise Eyes in Celtic Green
Tattoos (Lips) - ENCHANTED INK - Matte Lipstick in Berry
             (Eyes) - WOW SKINS - Smokey Eyeshadow
Hair - SLINK - Bianca in Russet
Outfit - SN@TCH - Astrid Sweater Dress in Purple
Jacket - TokiD - Juliana Sweater in Mustard (dressing room fusion)
Boots - DUCKNIPPLE - Abba Boots

Prim Perfection?

As promised I've taken some photos of my new furniture.  I think the store was called prim perfection but I'm not sure - will edit later if I'm wrong.

This is my new living room set which is colour change.  I know it looks pretty basic but it's only one prim for the whole set which is great when you have only 20 to play with.

This is my kitchen and again only one prim and I really like it.

And my bed which is again only one prim for the whole set and the colour scheme actually reminds me of my real life bedroom.

a little cold

Wow couldn't believe it - logged onto my post and the view count told me that at least 30 people had visited yesterday *yay*.  This is a bonus but I actually do this blog for me but if people read it that's ok.

Reason for the title - I'm feeling ill.  Got a head cold and I'm an absolute baby when it comes to them, just want to curl up on the sofa and veg out watching TV which would be a good thing since I have loads to catch up with on my Tivo.  Won't actually be inworld much for the next week between work and feeling like crap so will probably only log on a couple of times a day just to get whatever notices get sent out.  But here's the great bit of news I have two weeks holiday starting this weekend which means I can finish sorting my inventory and hopefully start exploring the grid as I haven't done much besides shop and go hunting.

Fishing part 2

Yay got the outfit from Sn@tch and quicker than I expected - only took me two hours.

A big thank-you goes to Gekischa Ameterasu who gave me about 6 of the items I needed as a thankyou for helping her finish her outfit.

I'm now back to trying to sort out my inventory so that I can actually find stuff in it *lol*

Fishing

Spending the next few hours fishing at Sn@tch to get their new outfit the green fairy - wish more stores would do this as it's a great way to get a free outfit plus I get to help people finish theirs off with the extras I collect.

Halloween goodies

Just wanted to show off the new Halloween sweater I got from Sweeter Than Candy - only 60L this weekend and you get three sweaters in the pack.  The other two are a green one that says happy halloween on it and a purple one that has a witches hat on it.  I've paired it with the new hair style from Alli & Ali - they do really great hairs and this one didn't cost me anything as I won it in the action board at the mainstore - there is also one available as a group gift (or the voting present I'm not sure which).

Outfit

Hair - Alli & Ali - seventeen in light brown (free)
Sweater - Sweeter Than Candy - Halloween sweater (not free)
Pants - DE Designs - rune leather pants (not free)
