Hi! I’ve posted a new post over at my new site: http://aexo.tumblr.com/

Follow me over there! :D <3, Abra

New Beginnings. =D

Hey All. I have started posting again.

I lost the drive for a while and thought I was just tired of blogging. Turns out, I was just bored of wordpress and it’s limitations. For now, tumblr will do, and you can find me there. Archives will stay up here, no worries there. Cheers and xo’s to you. xo, Abra

Hi y’all. I’m back from the dust. Feb/March are super busy for me, thus the dead stop in updating. RL first, yo. I still love you though, very much, & I still love to blog. (Addiction? Nah. Art, bitches.) Thrown together a little number 4U. Old, new, simple, obtuse. I like it all, and I’ve piled it on here.

Uhm, I’m going to be gone for another 2 weeks starting on Friday. If I can make updates from the road, I will. But bet your bottom dollar, they’ll be on my flickr stream, so check there first. This blog will spring to life again with the coming season, I’m a bulb waiting to bloom, people. Love yaaaa, Abra

ps. Being ‘gone’ has been really inspring! I encourage all of you to ‘get out’ for a bit & ‘get lost’ in the world around you.

pps. Aside from the confusion it gives me, I am digging the new SL2.0 features. Now Emerald people, get on that viewer like hot shit. Gotta make a baby for us, Emerald 2.0. Pronto, pronto!

double double.

I’m back. Illness & computer problems aside, the small break was kind of nice. I do this because I love it, and coming back, I’ve had the chance to reflect on that sentiment and it’s true. That’s why I’m still doing what I do. :)

I have a lot to catch up on, including a few reviews. I wanna sing to the heavens about Dutch Touch‘s Sjors skin. Iki Ikarus is a skin master and wow, wow, has she come a long way since her first skin. Sjors is gorgeous and boasts my favorite lips and freckles in SL. If you haven’t slipped it onto your bones yet, please do so. Now. Love, Abra

Hi You,

I was randomly tping around the grid yesterday, and came across this great new-to-me skin shop, CStar Skins. I love the facial features of this skin! It’s super flattering and feminine. The makeup might be a tad overkill in most circumstances, as I usually go for a natural look, but I honestly love the heavy nude lipstick and mega lashes on this face. The cool thing about this shop is that all the skins are limited sale. All of them! I talked with the owner, Unico Solo, and expressed how cool this is. At one point or another, we all question our ‘identity’ here, what it actually ‘means’ and how to ‘preserve’ it. Certainly limited sale items are a good way of preventing an army of clone avis. The best way, of course, is to develop your own sense of style. Always. And to dress and buy items for your own style. (Eff trends, srsly.) I must note that although the facial features on these skins may sometimes vary, (there are a few different ‘faces’ at this shop) most of the variance is with the makeups. Which, I suppose, is what you would call ‘variance in style.’ The makeup that I am wearing, Obsidian, is apparently sold out at the main shop location. I purchased mine at a smaller location, here. Get it while supplies last! After that, it’s gone forever. Love, Abra

Hi all! I’ve missed you, what with my weekend away and technical difficulties (read: SL has been so so SO slow for me!!) and I am glad to be back! I’m really loving this double bag made by BettiePage of BP*, just how cute & quirky is it?! It’s not released yet, but will be very soon. To make it even better, it’s texture change and sized small! I like small bags in both lives, as they allow you more freedom of movement. (I’d totally buy this irl too, as I love it so.) And honestly, as a lot of us nowadays are more of a RL size, hugely oversized bags (without resizing options) are really odd looking. Ironic/cheeky fashion statements aside (as some times do call for it, so this isn’t a rule), who wants a bag that bigger than your whole torso?  More comfy things to match: Reek‘s cute winter boots and Milk Motion‘s knit cardigan. I’ve found perfection in both items! Love, Abra

laced friday.

Going away for the weekend, and I’m leaving you with a simple post! I really love this look, as simple as it is. Girly, very girly/feminine with a little edge. ;) Can’t go too long without posting, I love it so and I don’t wanna leave you hanging either. The big players in this look were found at this week’s $50L Friday. God I love that event.

I hope you have a great weekend! I’ll be back next week with a bunch of posts that are long overdue. Love, Abra

ps. Vega and I doozied up Dooze’s Shade Throne site. Have you seen it? Do you own some Shade Throne stuff? Add it to the flickr group!

pps. Thank you to Puma Jie for the very sweet compliment and hello to all of you who’ve found me through her. She’s pretty amazing! And to answer your question, Puma, sometimes a look can take me five minutes and sometimes it’s a lot longer. It all depends on my mood, the vision I have for it and how inspired I am. Oh, and how cooperative SL is being, of course! Love ya girl. <3
