Maternity Worldwide Charity

Sally Soleil, owner of Fierce Designs, is heading off to cycle across Ethiopia and give her services as an RL midwife to those less fortunate and help the charity - Maternity Worldwide.

After being chosen as a Runner Up in the "One in a Million Designers Challenge" Sally decided to sell a limited quantity of these Limited Editions to raise funds to go towards her fundraising site - Just Giving

Shown below is the Breakfast outfit but if you follow the link above to Fierce Designs you can also find the other two limited editions - Devine and The Midwife.

In Ethiopia as many as 1 in 7 women currently die in pregnancy or childbirth. Each one of these deaths is a tragedy that has a devastating effect on the family (many young children also die following the death of their mother) and hampers the community's development. Most of these lives could be saved by relatively simple, cheap measures. Maternity Worldwide is working hard to save lives in childbirth.

Carpe Noctum

Tableau Vivant's latest group gift is absolutely stunning!  I think I may need an SLex change for a while so I can wear this skin a little longer

I write in anger, along the edges of light

Singing songs to the sleeping in royalties flight

My hands working through black velvet air

Sharp points of fingers in our loveless fair

Carpe Diem, the rest was a hopeless song, true

They said it to others, but they didn’t for you

‘Seize the day’ was chanted with pride on the streets

But it’s charred and lost now, while Earth’s light retreats

But I, I have a new song to sing

A beautiful verse in our dark sheltered wing

Carpe Noctem, my friends, my angels who fight

We lost the day, but we can still seize the night.

Not only do they make womens ones, but they make a pair in mens wear (also only $L37) as well.  HORRAY!!!!  Men in white jeans = smoking hot!

Bring on 2012

What a way to start the year!  Blog some fantastic newness!!!!!

Firstly - This outfit just screams "I Love my Linden Balance!" The skin only cost me $50L.  The hair I found after visiting an old favourite hair store I hadn't been to in a while.  I was helping out a friend and went TPing all across the globe, ended up at D!va and there is new group gifts.  HURRAH!  Best thing is it comes with an options to have no pony tail over the shoulder at the click of a button!  Last but not least - Fifty Linden Friday Boots!  

I can't decide if I want to pick up the ruffles of my dress and go skipping through the long grass, or sit in front of the mirror and ask in the beauty of this headpiece.  Why not both!  Even though I told her it wasn't going to work - seeing the end design on this dress floored me.  Job well done Sanura!

Sometimes less is more.  These have to be an all time favourite pair of pantyhose with built in panties for modesty.  But this jacket!  22769 you have outdone yourself on this one.  I didn't want anything else to overshadow the jacket so simply stockings it is!

Talk about adding a touch from everyone.  Each layer comes from someone completely different to the next but I love this look.  Very school teacher-ish, but with a touch of flair with the yummy mesh boots from Maitreya.

Ironic

I was 'trying' to sort out my inventory the other night and came across the awesome halloween inspired snowglobe home that Isabeal Jupiter was kind enough to give to me as a gift.  I put it aside ready to do a blog post for it and then promptly got sidetracked and forgot =(  So I found it ironic that the day I log in ready to get to blogging her snowglobe that I find yet another gift from her aptly titled 'Ironic'.

So yes I am slightly late with the halloween blogging - however! - With a quick modification the halloween house is simply an old eerie house in amongst the trees.  When I say modification, I removed the jack-o-lantern and rat from the front door stop.  Simple as that.

This gorgeous little house is actually inside the 'snowglobe' with the inner walls of the globe looking like stormy clouds that move around the sky.  There is ample room around the house for you to remove the trees and add your own, or even just add to what is there.  There's even enough room out back for a pool!

Inside is actually bigger than it looks from first glance outside.  With a nice big open living area downstairs and a cute little loft bedroom upstairs.

So with my new ironic hipster inspired tunic, I'm all ready to get decorating and move into my new little home.....if only I could find a place to put it (sorry to those shopping at Somnia today if they looked up and saw a huge globe floating above the store, and Sanura I PROMISE I cleaned up after myself!)

Once Upon A Time.....

This was one of the many wonders I found during my search for the Sleepy Hollow inspired dress (more to come on that - I finally have the dress!).

The first stop on my journey was Evie's Closet. An absolute wonderland of magical, fairytale inspiring gowns and accessories. If you haven't been there - you MUST add it to your To Do List.

I really don't want to detract from the stunning gown with matching Collar & Crown (sold seperately - but with all matching colours to the different variety of colours this dress comes in) so I'm hoping the photos do all the talking for me.

All I can think of when I wear this ensemble is Once Upon A Time - The Evil Queen. I feel a little Lana Parrilla at the moment. I don't know why, I just do. probably because it's one of my favourite shows at the moment. But obviously I have a little more ....... hmmm .... 'niceness' .... to me with the wings and delicate touches of flowers on the accessories. Evangeline Miles really does go all out with her designs and I'm so glad she does!
