I have to run out and buy a Vogue every month, just to drool at the clothes in it. Every month, Burberry runs, what I consider - the best advertisements in the magazine. Their coats look so amazing, and all the time I think - man, I'd kill to have a coat like that in SL (mainly because I know I can't fit my fat RL butt in a Burberry coat). Obviously I was so excited when I seen this new release.
I did an internal \o/ and ran to pick it up and snap photos.
When I heard Stiletto Moody opened up her group with her group gift shoes still out, I went into all sorts of embarrassing squeeing, and HAD to go get them. I was quickly reminded why I don't buy Stiletto Moody shoes anymore, once I put them on. XD
The shoes are nice, but man. Not only are they a pain in the rear to tint, but I can never get them to sit right on my feet. I spent literally, all day yesterday tinting them, rotating, resizing, and making an AO type thing that locks my ankles in place so they don't mess up.
With tinting these, its a constant battle of "Oh, maybe I need more blue" *clicks the + blue button* "Nope. Maybe less red..." *repeat over and over while banging head on desk* I wish more prim feet creators had a notecard of settings for popular skins, like Maitreya does. Maitreya's notecards saves me sooooo much time in tinting.
I think I did a pretty good job, all things considered. They aren't a perfect match to my skin tone, but I have no more patience left, and I don't think I can get them any closer. xD
It snowed on Bluebonnet (where my husband and I live now), so I spent yesterday morning dropping down trees and making our plot look wintery. I haven't laid down the snowmans and stuff yet - I'm determined to get past Thanksgiving before I decorate for Christmas. xD
On a RL side note, I have fallen in LOVE with this scarf. I neeeeeeeds!
I'm doing pretty good with this 365 project so far, and - its sooo fun too. It's really getting me out of our house, going around new different sims and looking for a good place to take a photo.
And, its been really fun playing in Picnik and trying new post processing effects.

I'm still alive, I swear. I've been dealing with some drama, which has sapped tons of energy from me, but has in return been my blessing in disguise. It's made me take a closer look at people I consider friends, and rid myself (taken off my friends list and muted) those who need cleansing from my life. And, I thank my husband, Jeffry, for everyday he talked me down from doing something incredibly stupid on a whim that I would regret later. So, I have channeled this negative energy into a couple positive projects and various different things in SL.
While, I am rarely alone in SL - I spend most of my time with my husband. And we are usually at home together, cuddled up in bed, or on our hammock. So, I think the majority of my posts about this will be photos of Jeffry and I. I've asked him if he was okay with this - and he seems to be all for the idea. :D
I'll also definitely miss some days in this project, but I'm thinking it should be fun to at least get 300 blog posts through a year. :D
