The hardest things are always said last… ( going on hiatus ).

As I push the 100 and something blog post threshold I feel myself losing interest. Perhaps it has a little to do with how hectic/busy my rl has gotten since this semester’s began. Like for example, I took pictures last week and I am not entirely satisfied with them but, I figured to achieve the ‘looks’ I want, I’d need to dedicate more time to the process… more time, which, I certainly don’t have.

So, what’s the basis of all this? Is it a subtle hint into the near future? Maybe… because, as it is this year will be an eventful one. I am graduating in the summer and making plans for grad school or pursuing a second degree. I’ll be leaning towards the latter but, I am certain my performance by the end of this semester will be the defining factor all around.

Oh, and not to mention, I’ll be moving in less than a month. Now, not to put my entire reallife out there because, I’ve always strived to maintain a certain amount of anonymity but, I think it is important everyone who cares understands the reasons behind my prolonged absences hence! the explanation…out of respect mostly… Because, I just think it’s rude to disappear without a word and not to the mention, the speculations that might arise as some people have no problem blatantly impersonating others ( e.g the never ending copybot crisis and the things in between) ~ of course, that’s another story for another blog post.

Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed my short ado about absences!. When I am officially back, you’ll be the first to know!

and as always,
xoxo

Video :: Heartbreak warfare by John Mayer
“Lightning strikes
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?”

New year renovations and a shape!.

Windlight settings :: Place Astryls wild

So, I spontaneously decided to tweak up my mini shop, Jumphearts, for the new year. As far as I can remember the last time I had done any major renovation was at least 8 months ago? So, I got tired of staring at the same old stuff and decided to get to work. Oh my goodness! almost a hundred hours later and some suggestions from Daphne and Tobias over at [HANDverk] I came up with this; taaadddaaaaa!. What do you think? yay? or nay? here’s a TAXI if you wanna check it out!.

Yes, the image was treated in photoshop with this free background I found!

I found this gorgeous house at marketplace by Kessi Andretti creator behind Sweet Harmony. My parcel is on the low prim side so I had to compromise a lot and ended up modifying the house down to about 20 prims. Overall, I was going for simple look and I’m happy with the results. Besides, I go googoogahgah for shabby chic or vintage houses anyday!. Oh! While on the subject of houses check out these from Willow’s. I am not familiar with her designs but, ran across them after I had purchased my house from Sweet harmony already. Anyway, If you’re looking for extremely cheap ( I mean as low as 10L ),cute and low prim shabby chic houses Willow’s seems very promising!.

Anyway, here’s a shot of me grinning my head off after I had finished EVERYTHING!. Although there are still a few things I’d like to change I am pretty content with how it’s turned out.

Also, I finally went ahead and got one of PINKFUEL’s Elly skins. I had been obsessing over her lipgloss collection which you can’t buy individually! … I went ahead and invested in one of her skins. Surprisingly enough -or not- I fell in love with the skin and decided to whip up a shape!. So, here’s to shape 003! dedicated to Pinkfuel!. I hope you like it \o/ .

In the meantime enjoy the first month of 2012 and I’ll see you soon!
Xoxo,
Mia

It’s a beautiful thing when music inspires fashion. Such is the case with this look I sorta scrambled together. I thought I’d share it with you guys. I hope you like it.

Also, I’ve spent the last few days walking around with this machine gun leg as seen in the movie Planet Terror directed by Robert Rodriguez. Here’s a picture of the character Cherry with them on!

I think it’s sexy!. Also, Halloween is around the corner, it could work as something to help build your character!

Anyway, enjoy the look!

I really like cybernetic looks and I think carrying swords is sexy so when I put this look together the other day ( yes, I have been walking around like this for a few days now ) I thought it was perfect but, when it came down to snapping the pictures, getting the perfect snapshot and location to get what I was trying to portray was damn near impossible.

Did I mention how much I love apple spice poses? Especially their action poses? I had to restrain myself yesterday while surfing through her collection but, I must say they were literally perfect for this sword.

Also, a good friend of mine, Onagh Ashbourne, who is an angel by the way filled me in on the new updates going on around sl. It seems like mesh will be rolling in really soon, by the end of August, are you ready?

In other news;

It’s awesome the things you discover on flickr just by browsing through it. It’s one of the only ways i update myself on what’s new in sl if I’ve been away for a while.

Anyway, I saw the skin I have on in this picture at lucifer luckless‘s stream and fell in love with the softness of the face. It’s still in beta and he’s doing a lot of tweaking so he’s looking for feedback and, I volunteered! and even modded my shape to create a face out of it.

What do you think?
If you wanna try it out too IM Lucifer Luckless in world and let him know you’d like to try out his Elio beta skin ohh and there’s a male version too :O Ikr?!!

thank you luci

ROZENA does makeup.

Windlight settings :: (see group ” My trampoline heart ” for Perfect windlight settings ).

I was sorting though my inventory today and came across this old subscriber’s gift from Rozena, the Molan Molan Lip colors. I know blogging about old gifts is pointless especially since they are all gone by now and noone will be able to get them but, before you start ranting and screaming your head off, there’s a point to this.

Lately, I’ve been particularly stingy about my makeup choices and which brand of makeup I choose to hoard. I think it’s probably time to explore other prospectives, test the waters, see what’s out there, you know? This is where Rozena comes in. Although I’m not particularly crazy about this gift set she sent out to her subscribers the vinrose color caught my attention.

*Shrugs* who knows, you might be seeing more makeup colors/styles on me from Rozena in the near future… we’ll see.
xoxo,
Mia.

Tp to ROZENA.

Maybe we’ll be friends?

So, it’s true I tend to get a tad bit over-excited about things coupled with slight enthusiasm about little things but, that’s what you love about me the most right? Right. Anyway, 3636 re-opened last week and sent out this awesome hair I’ve been wearing for the past few days out to their subscribers!!. I can’t seem to wanna wear anything else regardless of how dramatic it seems. I think I also love how well it pairs up with my wreath from wishbox. Sighs* good times. * Goes back to dreaming about bunnies and stuff*.

I am trying to keep track of my windlight settings so I’ll make it a point to mention them in each post as much as possible.

Hello, all you bronzed summer beauties!,

Though summer hasn’t officially begun over here, (yup, some of us have to wait till June 21th) I am so excited about the vast array of flower patterns popping up in sl. I like flowers in general, that’s definitely a known fact (see; Here, Here, Here and here)

And, did I mention how much I LOVE my new carry on scathel from La Blaq and the wreath of flowers from wishbone?? I have been looking everywhere for one, even requested a look on flickr weeks ago. Luckily, I got a response from Heather Beebe with a link to wishbox’s flower wreath. And OMG! I so pwerty!!! teetheehheh.

In other news I have added a new tab to my side bar called “current staples”. I don’t change certain items often like my eyelashes and skin. So instead of continuously blogging the same items over and over again I created the “current staples” tab. So if you wanna know what skin I am wearing in the most recent posts see the side bar!.

The most exciting thing about sl is dressing up like this and walking around without anyone giving you a ‘second look”. Another exciting part is finding the perfect “scene” when it comes to taking pictures. One of my favorite blogs to visit for scenery inspirations is avatar’s in motion. I have to admit, in my opinion, her blog is one of the most beautiful blogs I’ve ever come across.

Anyway, on to the look of the day- If I haven’t already creeped you out and scared you off-. I am having a blast with the makeup pack I picked up from Nuuna Skins’ store. If you’re into this stuff like I am, go visit her store and have fun drooling as much as I did.

Also, I got that dress a while back and absolutely loved it, except I am pretty sure it would look pretty odd with an overly active ao. Luckily it comes with two alpha layer options so your legs don’t pop out as you walk. And it has a few other options ( shorter and so on) Pretty awesome right? I have to admit, Violent seduction has a number of well made items!.

So before your eyes fall out of your head with my current look of the day I’d like to say a special ” hello ” to the United States Air Force Academy and well every other Air Force unit out there in the world. Thank you so much and love you guys xoxo.

Before we rush right into the look of the day here’s some food for thought, what makes a good student? Diligence? Perhaps hard work and dedication? Well today I decided to go the extra mile! and put in some effort because you see, I really wanna pass my flight test. *smiles*.

Anyway, on to the look of the day. Enjoy
