Breezy Easy

I love Evangeline Miles' design called Nereida. It wears so well and the fit is outstanding, plus the fabric is soft and breezy. I purchased it in Coral, but it also comes in Pearl, Seafoam (bright blue), Anemone (Periwinkle), Wasabi (green) and Flotsam (black) . I just love Evie's Closet because every one of her designs is beautiful in some way. Whether it's the color tones (including the way she mixes colors in one outfit), the detailed trims, the cut, or the way the design fits and flows on the body, she definitely continues to create the highest quality and truly original pieces. Nereida is an example of how good the fit is, plus the mix of colors used and the way the skirt hangs and flows is lovely. When you purchase one of the designs, you get a short and long skirt, along with optional pants to go with the shorter skirt. Even the arm wraps in a sheer feminine fabric are gorgeous! I bought a few other pieces when I visited Evie's Closet, so I'm sure I'll be featuring them soon, so stay tuned :)

Bye Bye Butterfly

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies...

The end of summer and warm, sometimes HOT days are soon gone. I don't want to say goodbye to all the lovely butterflies flitting through the sky! With all their beauty and so many fashions that include them, I just had to do a butterfly blog before summer is completely gone :D

A butterfly hovers closely
And then quickly moves away,
Swiftly going wheresoever
Her heart may freely say.

A butterfly lowers and rises
With the wind's gusty breath,
As if coupled within a dance
Of a loving tenderness.

I thought the butterfly headpiece above was such a cute idea! It's so bright, cheerful and seamless, plus the feature of being able to change ALL the butterflies (skellyflies that is...the butterflies have tiny skeleton heads, hehe) wings to different colors/shapes is wonderful. That way you can match just about any outfit, or not match, whatever your heart so desires.

I thought this skin from Redgrave was so pretty. She has so many makeup choices in such a good variety. They're not all just eye shadows and liners, but she also adds tears, smears, and nice designs like the one above. Alot of unique choices, plus her skins are amazingly realistic!

The butterfly only knows
How it feels to have wings,
To kiss the petals of flowers
In such elegant flitterings.

To have but one moment Of such an exquisite flight, Would be like a dream Where all seems so right.

The Jar

If I could capture all the enchantment of the forest in a jar,
Then I would open it and let it escape when needed near or far.


I wish I could collect the magic dust and bubbles that sparkle in the breeze, as they make their way in and around the tall, dark trees.

I wish I could pick the kaleidoscopic mushrooms that cover the forest floor,
So many shapes and sizes that glow and adorn.


I wish I could catch the tinkling sound of the fairy flying by,
And the bewitching voice of the mermaid’s lullaby.

I wish I could trap the beams from the twinkling stars and moon above,
Filtering through the wooded forest I love.


I wish I could contain the majestic power of the unicorn
As it stands peacefully on the river bank where it was born.


All the magic of the forest contained in a jar
Would have the power to captivate both near and far.

It's Gridiron Time Again: College Football

Yes, I love pro football, but college football is my absolute favorite. One team in particular is MY team, the Texas Tech Red Raiders. I graduated from college from this school in Lubbock, Texas, which is in WEST Texas. Tech has always had a good team, but never as good as it was in the year 2008. Tech actually ranked at the top in second place behind Alabama for a long time that season. It came down to three teams that were about even in our conference that year, Tech, Texas and Oklahoma. Tech didn't end up going to the final game, but they sure came close and we were SO proud of them! That year they had the winningest coach at Tech, Mike Leach. They also had the super pair, Michael Crabtree and Graham Harrell who became nationally known due to their great plays. We were the only team that beat the Longhorns! No one will ever forget that season for Tech football, it helped the school become more nationally known and recognized.

I noticed the store I purchased the Cowboys and Saints cheerleading uniforms also had collegiate uniforms. However, they didn't have Texas Tech, so I wrote the designer and asked if she ever did custom work. Well, the very next day when I came in game, I was very surprised and happy to see she had already made a Texas Tech uniform! Get your guns up!

It's Gridiron Time Again: Pro Football

I love football season and it's here again! When I was growing up I wasn't a big fan. I just remember during that time of year, my Dad would have the TV turned on loud with a football game on all the time, especially during the holidays. I remember the sound of a cheering crowd, the blow of the referee's whistle, the sports announcer's play by play, and of course, my Dad yelling, hehe. Back then I didn't think much of it, but now when I hear the sound of a game on TV, it brings back so many memories. It's funny how you remember other nice memories associated with football, like, crowds of people visiting, the smell of my Mom baking during the holidays, and just wonderful times. I do remember rooting for the same teams my Dad did, especially the Cowboys. I was born in Dallas and grew up most of my life in the Dallas area, so it only makes sense! Now, I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and truly enjoy watching most all the games when I can.

Knowing it was that time of year again, I thought to myself how fun it would be to have some team jersies! I actually found my two favorite pro teams in game, the Cowboys and Saints! Of course there were MANY other pro teams available too. I was so excited!

I also found a store that carried cheerleading uniforms for just about every team there is (pro and collegiate)! Each pro uniform comes with pom poms, a megaphone and sneakers with socks. Also, there were other versions of some teams. For example, she had a "Super Bowl" edition of the Saints uniform.

My other favorite pro team is the New Orleans Saints! We visited New Orleans a few times when I was growing up, and I really liked it. It has such a diverse, interesting history and culture, plus, it is such a colorful town. Well, a while back, when my oldest son was three, we moved to the area. We lived across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans in a beautiful, small town and ended up living there about six and a half years. I made some lifelong friends, plus I really enjoyed the time we lived there. My younger son, who's ten now, was also born there :)

I guess you might say my time there turned me into a Saints fan, even though at the time they didn't do well at all. However, I am loyal to a team or a school not because they win or lose, but because something has made that team special to me. You can imagine how happy I was, along with the city of New Orleans, when the Saints won their first Super Bowl ever!! WHO DAT!! What a season and a win! I'll never forget it.

A Pirate's Life For Me

On impulse, I purchased a pirate costume a while back and had yet to wear it. I tried it on once after I got it, but that's it. I decided it only appropriate to visit a pirate ship and take some pictures wearing it. I've seen many pirate costumes in game, but this one stood out with all its extra little touches. It consisted of many optional components, including a hat and unique eyepatch. One of my favorite things about it was the pretty, feminine ruffles in front and the ruffled, lace cuffs. Ahoy maties, elf pirate aboard!!! Arrrrgh!!

Just arriving at the pirate ship in ElvenMyst

Taking a tour of the ship, and making alot of discoveries

Enjoying the beautiful view

Yes, I found the rum, and had a little too much!

Hmm, pirates for hire...I wonder if pirate elves are acceptable?

Warriors Can Be Feminine Too!

After enjoying time at the beach the other day, I ended up having to go to the snowy mountaintops not far away to head off some humans who had come to hunt old Fuzzball the bear. Fuzzball had lived in peace and perfect harmony in the mountains for years, but had earned the reputation as a mean old bear who "could" hurt someone. Yes, he could be mean, if he didn't know you or your intentions and thought you might be a threat, but he was really a kind, peaceful bear who wouldn't hurt a fly. I threw on my lovely leather armor by Elvina Ewing of Caverna Obscura, because I knew I might need the protection and I can always depend on this particular design. It's very pretty with several optional pieces and even came with some gorgeous, detailed boots! Not only is it feminine, beautiful and sturdy, but it's also reliable and very flexible. I can wear certain pieces for specific destinations and reasons. Other than the boots, the outfit also comes with an extra pair of pants and a modifiable shape. I also carried my bow along just in case. You just never know about those humans!

I rode my beautiful, dependable friend, Mist, on my journey. He helps so much, especially when he uses his magic to FLYYY :D



We finally ran across Fuzzball and I warned him in my best bear slang that he needed to hide out for a while. He was not happy :/


I watched as he climbed to safety and then ran across the hunters in the meantime. I told them they would not find Fuzzball and that they needed to worry about something besides an innocent, ornery, geriatric bear.



What a day! As always, my armor held up well and is still just as comfy as when I first put it on :)
