Arya's Heart

Do you need a place to read some mags and chill out?  This place is built for just that.  It ticks all the boxes:

Just a hint of pink in the darkness today.  Black on black, but with a splash of colour to give shape to the shadows.

Well, that took a poetic turn.  Not intentional.  Ignore me and just enjoy the look and the styling.  Carry on without me.

I am in retreat mode today.  My brain is feeling fuzzy and I am just wanting to sit and blob out a bit.  I am glad I have this little sanctuary from all the hustle and bustle to hang around in and read a magazine or a good book.

The only time I will need to leave is to head downstairs to the kitchen for a snack or two...or three. Like now, for instance.

I do love red and I am excited to focus on a pose and pose backdrop today as well as some awesome fashion.

The cool backdrop is from Spot On Store and is the Showtime Doorway - Circus.  You can also get this same look in Valentine (pink) and Mardi Gras (purple).  They also have blinking lights and a door that opens and closes.  Awesome!

My pose today is from Nantra Poses and is called Won't You?  It comes with the balloons and there are poses with red, white and pink balloons either single or bunched.  Great for those Valentine themed photos, but since love is for everyday then it can be used throughout the year!

Both the backdrop and the pose set are at this round of Boardwalk.  Easy!  You can grab both at the same time!

Where do I go to get away from it all?  I am so glad you asked because that question makes it easier for me to talk to you about our fab items today.  Hehe.

I am so excited to be blogging for a fairly new event called Boardwalk.  This event is special because it is dedicated to home, garden and poses.  That means it is a one-stop-shop for all your decorating needs.  It starts on the 15th of each month so make sure you go and spend up large!

All items are from Boardwalk unless I tell you otherwise.

I feel like I haven't been on an SL beach in ages so it was nice to venture out and find a nice one to walk on.  I found this gorgeous place called A Way of Life and it definitely was my way of life today.  Had fun wandering about finding the perfect spot to take a pic or two.

Speaking of wandering...I hope you are all managing to get yourself to all the events that are starting or have just started.  You will see a fair bit from some of them over the next few days.  Keep looking.

If you are one of my avid readers (do I actually have any of them?) then I want to apologise for my lack of posts over the last few days.  In Aryaland it is summer and I am on holiday and have visitors so didn't want to be snobby to them by being in SL and ignoring them.

But, I am back on deck and have soooo much to catch you up on so without further ado and monologuing...here are some fab items.

Shoes:  ::Slack Girl:: Nika Shoes (On9)
Hair:  RAMA.SALON - Samantha Hair (Saturday Sale)
Pose:  {NANTRA} - Cuz I Can (The Liaison Collaborative)

This girl looks like she wants to build a snowman somewhere.  She is icy looking and should probably not be approached.

Her cat looks nice though.  Dang, I want to pat him so bad.  I wonder if she will let me or just ice me.  It seems worth the risk. 

Skin:  .::WoW Skins::. Vanessa MILK skin (99L this weekend)

Don't rush me.  I can't move because my nails are wet.  I will have to stand here until they are dry.

I will stand nice and still so you can check out my outfit and accessories.  Just be super careful not to brush my nails as you check me out.  Look but no touchee touchee!

Also, can you go and give my flickr pics some favs love?  I am doing a wee experiment this month and would love you to be a part of it.  You can go to my flickr page by clicking HERE or the 'ARYA FLICKR' button on the right hand side of this blog site.

I know, I know...it is not February but who says love is limited to one month of the year?  Not this girl.  She is all about the loving one another for all 12 months of the year.

How do we show love to one another?  Well, not with chocolate and cards.  Nope, it is all about kindness and caring.  Let's do that this year.  Say no to hate and hateful people and just get on with treating each other with respect and dignity.  Treating others how we would want to be treated.  Wise words said a long time ago but still relevant today.

I am loving on this dress from Charisma's Designs.  It is gorgeous and perfect for those romantic dances that SL is famous for. But wait, there is more!  If you love this gown in black then you will also love it in white and you can grab the white version at Spotlight.

I am also loving this shape at the moment, as you may have guessed.  It suits my looks this week.  It is, as I have mentioned previously, from 7 Deadly Skins and is the Aura Shape and is made to go with the LAQ Noelle head.  My head is the LAQ Neve one, but it works well with this shape.  You can grab the shape at Designer Showcase.
