Forever - RIP 12 years.

2011-09-04T23:26:00.001+01:00

Twelve years ago this week I lost my best friend. I won't say how. I was almost 15 years old, he was 16. I never thought he wouldn't be there forever. We never took photographs, that wasn't really in our nature. I didn't think we needed to document memories. I never thought he wouldn't be there forever. Then he left. He chose to leave. I was left with the forever. Missing

Support for Jori

I'm usually the one who keeps out of drama and doesn't get involved in fights between other people. But after hearing about this on plurk and on other blogs I had to pledge my support to Jori. Jori Watler is an amazing, friendly and talented lady, who has been there many times when I've needed her. She has advised me on many things and always been knowledgeable and lovely.

Gogo over at JuicyBomb has set us bloggers the challenge of wearing unnatural hair colours! I too love the shades in hair packs that don't get much of an outing. Those pinks, teals and purples that look too cartoony for most looks, but absolutely amazing if you can pull it off. So here's my first attempt, helped along by todays new Exile release Nomi in Passion.. a gorgeous purple. Enjoy, and

This post is a little late, I do apologise. When I saw these skyboxes on the marketplace a few days ago I instantly knew that I had to see them in world. I just had to know if they were really as amazing as they looked in the pictures. They did not dissapoint. The skyboxes, or skydomes are made by Paty Paule, who owns Cartoon Kid's a store for child avatars. She has a choice of 4 available, the

90's Child

2011-06-17T19:25:00.000+01:00

I grew up in the 90's and I loved it. I adored the fads like the tamagotchi's, trolls and smurfs, and I adored the fashion. The 90's was an era of mismatch and randomness when it came to dressing. It was a decade of expressing yourself by breaking all of the rules. Bring back the 90's! I put this look together by rummaging around my inventory for bits and pieces I already had. The dress is

Lady in Red

2011-06-06T19:20:00.000+01:00

I'm not exactly a dress sort of person in RL, yet in SL I always find myself gravitating towards the pretty, and this dress is no exception. From A-bomb, Time After Time is the picture of beauty, with the added bonus of being in a totally awesome shade of red. The dress conjures images of the 1940's or 1950's and gives just enough class alongside the bucket full of sass. Until Next time Tracy

When Sabina Gully plurked her new "roots" editions of her hairstyles about 30 minutes ago, I literally fell out of my skybox trying to get to Magika to get them. I've been a fan of Magika hair for a long time, and I've watched as Sabina has developed more and more amazing ways to deliver her unique, recognisable styles. This time is no exception to her amazing talent. As is usual for newer

There's an extra special treat for you this time, since my laptop decided it was a good idea to completely crash out on me and require a full format to get it to boot again. So now I'm left without photoshop until I have a chance to reinstall it. So here goes, a sneak peak at L'abel's amazing new spring collection, where flowers and bloomers seem to be the order of the season. L'abel Country

I was trying my hardest to avoid them, but who can stop themselves when there’s something so adorable all over plurk. Emma Gilmour released her Bloom dolls last week and they became an instant sensation, with hundreds of gorgeous pictures taken and edited in all styles. Every other plurk had a doll picture and each one made me “awww” even more, so it was only a matter of time before I ended up

I love skin, but omg can it get expensive. So I always find myself on the hunt for high quality, low cost skins. Todays lazy sunday offer from CandyDoll, Tamara, fits that description exactly. It’s only 50L today only and it’s cute! I love the shade of the tan and the soft summery makeup. It’s perfect for the beach or a nice summer day by the lake. I’ve paired it with the “So Boho” blouse

Rockberry – Apple Skin

2011-05-12T21:12:00.000+01:00

I’ve never done a proper skin post, because I’ve always been pretty scared to do it. Skin always seemed so hard to critique because I have no experience with it. I hate to make comments on things I haven’t made. Then the demo’s for Rockberry’s new Apple skin came out ready for skin and shape fair and I was instantly in LOVE. Heather Beebe, the designer at Rockberry kindly sent me a review

New stores are like a drug. Once you know there’s a good one on the market, you hunt it down and grab onto it. If it’s really good it’ll soak up your cash leaving you broke, dazed and confused and with a load of extra baggage to deal with. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is my current drug, with the exception of the price! Everything in this little store is under 10L, from shoes to clothes in the most

Broke isn’t good. But after months of being in RL and not really doing much in world, broke is where I’ve landed. I’m sure we’ve all been there. Balance is low, yet all you see are sales and promotions and … well ok I caved, but only to put together a look you could wear to see Mum.

On January 29th Neferia Abel will be releasing new designs in her L`Abel store! We all love new stuff, and new Nef stuff is top of that list... for me it had to be the Jayme pants and tops. They come in 4 colors each (Black, Olive, purple and white).

If there's something you're least likely to see me wear it's latex.

I will admit that I've never worn braids in SL. Mainly due to the fact that they're usually unrealistic and look as though they're not actually attached, or they're too thick. Then Kallisti from Discord Designs dropped LUX on me, and I was instantly in love. Kallisti makes braids that look real. She puts the details in perfectly, including the pulled roots on the hairbase.

At that young age I wasn't quite aware of how sick she was, but as I grew older I learned that she'd had leukemia, a terrible cancer of the bone marrow. The girl recovered and is now a happy teenager, but that isn't always the case

OMG I'm so behind with things and have a big apology to Bottle Bird for being so late with this as the outfit has been made for the Call for Couture festival which stared on the 9th October. When I first put this outfit on I thought 'OMG it's so cute' and had to run out and get some cute poses to blog them with, but when I put them in my posestand I couldn't find them....such is life.

Sometimes I fall in love with something, but don't get a chance to wear it. This skirt from BottleBird is one of them. It was sent to me a few weeks ago as a gift, and I loved it the minute I tried it on. The hand-drawn detailing on the high waist and the soft material made me think about wearing it constantly. So today, I jumped at the chance and put it on. Dirty Adored, designer at BottleBird

It's been a long time since I've blogged, or in fact done anything vaguely SL related, and I'll be honest with you, it's because I kinda lost interest! Yes. You heard right. I just couldn't drag myself away from the tons of RL stuff I had to deal with, and when I did get to sit down, all my mind could cope with was silly little facebook games or a book. So I neglected SL, and gave RL some TLC.

Standing Room Only

2010-05-28T09:59:00.003+01:00

In the 2.5 years since I joined SL I have heard many things. But the one thing I seem to hear all of the time, and the one I have even uttered myself occasionally is..."Thats such a hard market. It's saturated. I mean do we really need another?"Strangely the line seems to fit anything people mention doing. From designing gowns to building chairs. From blogging to setting up a sale.One of the

I'll have my cake (and wear it)

2010-05-15T10:13:00.003+01:00

Hair is a bad topic for me. I hate shopping for it, but I love owning it. The problem is, I want too much from those wigs. I want realism, I want style and most of all, I want it to fit without me having to spend hours altering it to fit.I've heard about "Cake Hair" before in general conversation. But I've been stuck in a Magika phase, where I'd found hair I loved, that always fitted.So when I

Photoshop vs me

2010-05-15T09:34:00.003+01:00

Learning photoshop has always been an uphill battle for me. I'm not an artist in RL, in fact I can't draw a half decent stickman. But since joining SL I have been on a one girl mission to learn everything I can about using this program.As a designer, I've had to learn to use the tools for evil... I mean, clothing design. But I've found, since taking pictures for blogging and/or vendors, I've

Lazy Summer

2010-05-12T21:00:00.005+01:00

Summer is coming, and I felt like a new look before lounging on my beach. So I pulled out this tube top and shorts from *Dreams* that I'd had sent by owner Sanura Snowpaw.I love the total casualness of the outfit. The simplicity that works so well with my Artilleri maggie tattoo, and shows off the *Dreams* Flaws tattoo across my stomach. The flaws tattoo overlays the stars of the maggie tattoo

Easter Lunch

2010-04-04T10:57:00.005+01:00

Easter Sunday means one thing in my house.Lunch at my Mothers!Ok, so we go to my Mum's house all of the time, but Easter Sunday is a day of egg hunting and chocolate. Mum hides eggs all over the house for my daughter, who hunts for them all afternoon long. Even if she finds them she insists on us hiding them again.Then we all sit down to a lovely roast, and sponge pudding for dessert. It's

Going to the chapel...

2010-04-03T13:13:00.006+01:00

Spring is here. Which means the start of that dreaded wedding season.Like most girls I love a good wedding. The flowers, the tears, and seeing a good friend tying the knot to the person they love. It's all so amazing and each wedding leaves its mark in my memory.But the part I hate... trying to find the perfect outfit.It has to be pretty, and show some effort has gone into dressing for someones

Just a note to say, I'm a giant dufus.So I logged in and scrolled through the 10 or so comments I'd been left on recent posts and was so happy to see there was zero spam.So I select them, click "accept" and smile, thinking all of your lovely words would soon be shared with everyone... and bam, it hits me....The little pastel shaded banner... comments rejected.Yup, I didn't check the accept

Viewer 2.0

2010-02-24T12:56:00.003Z

You know those days you step into a store you visit regularly, to find everything has been moved. You wander around and around looking for the one thing you wanted, and realising it's now at the other end of the store. That was my first impression of viewer 2.0 when I got the beta installed yesterday. It's completely different to the older viewers, with a total new look and lots of new pretties

Blues Muse Hunts

2010-02-01T23:12:00.004Z

Hunts are everywhere these days, but what's not to love about them?Blues Muse is not just one hunt, but a series of back to back hunts running through 2010.Organised by "muses" Southie Allen and Celestria Henly, these are a set of themed hunts beginning with the "My Heart Bleeds Blue" hunt in February.If you're looking for something cute from a new, or just new to you creator.

Still here

2010-02-01T23:07:00.002Z

I am so used to posting here daily now that its actually seemed odd not dropping a post on you hehe.Latest system news is, I'm still down. We thought we had the laptop all figured earlier when it finally ran for nearly 2 hours solidly. Then we turned it off, let it cool.... and now it won't boot up at all :(So, back to the expert aka Dad tomorrow lol. (for those who don't know, my stepfather is a

KTQ

2010-01-29T18:14:00.003Z

I know that my graphics on this temporary system are not working well enough to show this in its very best light, but with some tweaking I have at least managed to bring you a picture.Katiecue Wood of KTQ approached me last week as she has begun learning to create content and wanted to show me what she's learned so far.Her store is still small, but this girl is really showing potential already!

Technical Difficulties

2010-01-28T22:29:00.005Z

As many of you have already heard my laptop died. It was old, it was on its way out but I wasn't expecting it to go in the middle of a picture taking session last night. The screen went black and now it's lost half of my RAM and won't run.It's in with an expert to see what, if anything, can be saved/fixed. But it's 90% looking as though I need a new laptop altogether.Get a desktop you say?I have

Feeling Red Hot

2010-01-27T18:29:00.004Z

Valentines is heading our way, and I'm sure many of the loved up types are starting to plan their evening. Of course a major part of that planning will be the outfit designed to get your partner sweating... and when this hit my inventory I KNEW I'd found one.Red Hot is the newest creation by Christine Svenska of CS Fandango, and wow is it shocking. The folder comes filled with over 30 different

Bloggers Challenge - Closet Clean Out

2010-01-26T19:38:00.006Z

Luna Jubilee posted an interesting challenge.Everyone seems to be having a good inventory cleanout, with it being the new year, and Luna has asked bloggers to show off something they found when cleaning.Here's mine...Yes, somewhere back in time I was a fan of goth culture. In fact, that hasn't changed. I love the style, I love the way things are so OTT.The dress in this picture was something I

Look of the Day #1

2010-01-25T19:18:00.008Z

I got some gorgeous boots given by Pixieplum Flanagan of BabyMonkey today and just knew they'd fit with some of my current inventory favourites. So what better excuse did I have to post my first ever look of the day?So here it is...The boots are BabyMonkey's MukLuk boots, that come in a variety of colours. Pixie kindly sent me the fatpack and it has so many choices I couldn't decide at first. I

for Ruby - Convert in Training.

2010-01-24T19:49:00.005Z

I love boots in RL and in SL, but never really seemed to find the time to update mine in world. So today, with a few hours to spare I went boot shopping. I didn't know what I wanted, just that they had to be killer and something I could wear over and over and not get bored.I thought I'd found them, so I threw a message to a friend who told me "Get to Bax and buy some real boots."I can honestly

Bloggers challenge - Then and Now

2010-01-24T18:34:00.003Z

Sophia Harlow asked bloggers a while back to post pictures of how they looked when they first started out.I've been astounded by how pretty some of the pictures were, especially for newbies. So much so I hesitated on whether to do mine, but after some deliberation I dug into that "what the noob?" folder and pulled out my first ever picture, taken the day I logged in as Tracy Rubble, slipped it in

Nyte and Day (and all other occasions)

2010-01-23T20:28:00.009Z

Back in the days when I was a shopping newbie, a friend dragged me kicking and screaming into a store she'd been going to regularly. She persuaded me with the promise of a shopping mecca. A place that does it all and some. I didn't believe that anywhere could be that good.I was wrong!Nyte and Day has been my "must go" shop ever since. It's my first stop if I want something new in my virtual

These Boots are made for walking

2010-01-22T17:14:00.004Z

...and that's just what they'll do.I have never really been a follower of 50L Fridays, although I've known about it for weeks now. I've been interested. I see things on the feeds, but I hate shopping when places are lagged out.But this week I decided to give it a chance and I am really glad that I did for these 2 reasons.Miel is one of the stores in this weeks selection and they have these boots,

Waiting for Summer

2010-01-21T21:31:00.000Z

Every morning I look out of my window and sigh. More rain and cold weather, and another day in a coat and hat, battling the icy blasts of wind as I dash around on school runs and other outdoor chores.I'm ready for summer, so when I came across this purchase in my inventory I couldn't resist using it for my first post.I first came across Pink Outfitters when I was on the hunt for a sheer blouse,

Dial G for Girl

2010-01-20T23:38:00.002Z

Hello world! Blogging is something I've considered time and time again but never gotten around to doing. I've always been an avid reader of the fashion feeds, and spend hours scanning for reviews of the latest releases from stores both old and new. I'm a designer myself, and I know just how amazing it feels to see something I have made on someones blog for all to see. I've wanted to be able to
