Arya's Heart

Sometimes I just have to show you both sides of me.  I am wondering today which is my best side.  Tricky one. 

I  have been wandering about in this little number for days and it is super cute.  I have had loads of comments about it.  Read on to find out where you can get it from!

I am hanging out with some polar animals today.  I am definitely closer to the North Pole than I was in the last post and I am quite happy walking along with bears and bunnies.

While we plod onward you can check out what I am wearing.  I am loving my outfit in this post and enjoying my pose too.

Remember I am doing multiple posts a day at the moment, so please check back on the blog more than once a day to keep up with all the goss and news.

I am pretty sure this is not the North Pole.  It is a whole different kind of pole altogether.  I think I am leaning more towards the 'naughty' than the 'nice'.  But perhaps this is more your style of Christmas gift...

My outfit is made up of Christmas Countdown gifts (Dec 14th-24th).  The outfit and boots are from Wicca's Wardrobe and are gifts on separate days.  The outfit is called Aenice Outfit and the boots are Aenice Boots.  Keeps it simple!  There is one Secret Christmas Special everyday. Free for Wicca's Wardrobe Group Members, 50L$ for non group members (per day) For those, that missed a gift they have the "OMG I missed a DAY!!!) second chance wall. The second chance option does cost 50L$ for group members and 99L$ for non group members.

I am back now from my time away now and hopefully RL will not interrupt again this month as I have so much to show you that I am going to be doing two posts a day from now until Christmas at least.

I also have some new events to tell you about and one is Winter's Hollow.  There are loads of great items and you can see a few of them below!

I set this up outside my house to do this photo.  But I am leaving it there because it just looks great.  I love the white and red colours that stand out.  I love it among the gorgeous white trees.

I have so many things to show you all at the moment that I can barely keep up.  I am trying to make sure you are up-to-date with all the events, but this month is huge.  I hope you are doing the rounds.

Today is a lounging day in SL.  In RL it is the opposite.  It is a busy, annoying day and I am glad to spend a few moments of reprieve setting up this scene and enjoying some peace and quiet.

In the meantime, I am relaxing, catching up on some rest and maybe even a nap...zzzzzzzz.

NOTE:  I had written this post last weekend because I was going to be away for a few days this week, and I had this post, the one before and the one after all set up to post, but I just wasn't anywhere with internet, so I apologise for the lateness!

This is my happy place.  I think I am part Disney Princess, but perhaps more of a Merida than the others.  I am happy with the animals here.  This is a safe place.  I am sure I am part feline myself.  I am very catlike in many ways.

The winter scene behind me is from .:Tm:.Creation by Tm Susanowa and is called [Snowy Nature] Winter scene.  That makes sense as that is just what it is.  It is currently on display and for sale at the RFL Christmas Expo.

No snow today, just a bit of rain.  Lucky it is warm where I am because I am not dressed for the cold.  Well, whatever the weather I am looking and feeling good.  I am just going to wander around and enjoy listening to the rain on my umbrella.  Might even jump in a puddle of two.

While I do that, you can check out what I am wearing.

I am wandering about on the Best of SL Boulevard sim looking at the different areas and enjoying the snowy wonderland.  I am also adding a few new bits and pieces about the place and today I added this little hideway just off the beaten path.  This great outdoor area is called the Winter Garden Fireplace from GOOSE.  This is at the new round of Cosmopolitan that started on the 2nd of Dec and finishes on the 15th of Dec.

The set includes the garden itself and the lanterns.  I added the Snow Covered Garden Table and chairs which are also from GOOSE, the Icy Paving Stone 5 from {what next} and the Snowdrop Drifts from Cube Republic just to add some flavour.

You can visit this setup here or go and check it out at Cosmopolitan.

I am trying to sleep so that Santa will come and visit me quicker.  I figure that sleeping makes the time go faster.  I didn't say it was a great idea, but it keeps me out of trouble.

Today I am inside the Ellika Cottage that I showed you yesterday.  This is the lounge area that I set up.  Now, before you comment...yes, I know the cottage already has a funky cool fireplace, but I wanted to show this one, so I have set it up that way.  I am using poetic license.

I have a pile of items here from different places, so I will itemise them all for you so you know what to go and buy!

Cleo Design - LUNA SOFA - set includes sofa, coffee table, poppies and chocolate log cake (RFL Christmas Expo)
Beyond Majestic - Winter is Calling - set includes fireplace and accessories, wreath, birds on branch, tree with base and gift boxes (RFL Christmas Expo)
*paper moon* Holiday Wrapping Paper (New Release - come with texture change hud so perfect for
                         matching your decor)
~Off the Wall~ Escaped from Grumpy Santa! (Grumpy Santa Hunt)
Junk Food - Ramen Shop Carton -Sky and Ramen Shop Carton -Green (rez or animated to hold - 6
                    colours to choose from)

I am loving this build so much.  It is a fab home with a gorgeous loft bedroom upstairs and a load of space downstairs that could be a lounge and a kitchen or whatever you want.  I love the steps down from the area I have set up as a lounge, down to the kitchen area.  I also love the cool angles and wall spaces.  It is a funky home!  It is, of course, from Trompe Loeil and is the exclusive for Uber.  It is called the Ellika Cottage.  I am showing you what it looks like with its snow addon added on!  Brill!

The trees surrounding the build area all from Little Branch.  The ones at the front are the Red Bud Tree and the ones at the back are the Korean Beech Tree.  Both are animated and, as you can see, are seasonal with the touch of a button.

The wee snowman on the right hand side of the home is from Beyond Majestic and is called Frozen greetings from the North: Frost.  This is a RFL Christmas Expo item and he is a stunner.  Go grab him.

I haven't done many fashion and home & garden items together lately as I had a complaint about that from a designer.  It made me think about making sure clothes and furniture or decor gets your full attention.  However, I sat here while I was doing some inventory and then I decided my outfit suited the vibe of it.   I If I fits, I sits!

The bench, lantern and wood box are all part of the set from Serenity Style called the Cozy Winter Set that part of The Builder's Box this month.  It´s a themed box inspired by winter and snowstorms this month.

When is Santa coming anyway?
