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?”

Sweetest goodbye says a final goodbye.

At some point I am beginning to worry about the secondlife fashion community and the people who make all of this possible. Without a doubt designers in my opinion are a significant part of this community so when a tone of them start disappearing off the grid and calling it quits it makes you seriously wonder what will become of secondlife fashion?.

Such were my thoughts a few days ago when I learned Sweetest Goodbye will be closing it’s doors after 3 years. When I visit a store, I usually scan over things and if I had an outfit in mind or a particular item I went there for, I make a bee-line to that outfit.

I decided to do it differently this time when I visited Sweetest Goodbye. I took my time, I let things rez, I debated between items, styles and colors. I am quite sure I spent over an hour in that store that day. And picked up a good number of beautiful pieces that I am pretty sure will stand the test of time.

Anyway, without further ado, I recommend you heading down to sweetest goodbye since she is holding a 50% off sale as her farewell gift to her customers.
We wish you the best, Morphine janick, in all your future endeavors.
xoxo,
A loving fan.

P.s. In other news, my friend Viking Metall was hanging out with me while I was snapping away, and I thought I’d include him in one of the pictures with this awesome shirt by Effie Namori. The look on my face just says it ALL.

( Dedicating this song to all the designers who have left slfashion thus far. )
“I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,”
