Arya's Heart

Stuff does happen and sometimes you just have to roll with it.  Today I am wearing gorgeous clothes in a snowy place and that is good.  Tomorrow, I might be stuck in RL doing dull stuff and that is bad.  Still it could be worse so every day I count my blessings.  Today I am thankful for where I am in SL and what I get to show you.  I am also thankful that it did not take me long to get this shot as I am super tired and ready for my bed!

I hope you have had a fab day too and are thankful for something in your day.

I am back from my busy few days and ready to share the inside of The Cabin in the Woods, as I promised I would a few days back.  Here it is!

All of the items shown are from 22769's The Cabin in the Woods gacha pack which is up for grabs at Gacha Land.

I am in love with the artworks and, if you like them too, keep an eye out for the February Best of SL Magazine and you may spot them in there too!

I am hanging out at my cabin in the woods.  Well, there aren't that many trees to be honest, but the ones that are here are fabulous. 

Anyway, I am going to show you the outside of the cabin today and the inside in the next few days.  I am actually crazy busy in RL the next few days so please forgive me if I am absent.  Should be right by Saturday hopefully.

Today I am in the sunflowers and barefoot.  I love being in nature and without shoes.  In Aryaland we have no snakes or crawly things to worry about, so we are often seen out and about barefoot and fancy free.  Of course, I don't normally wear glam cocktail dresses barefoot, but this is SL and I can do what I darn well like. 

Today I am showing off some more items from SWANK and loving it!

As promised, here is the post that is not home and garden.  I know I said it would be fashion and it is.  It is more artistic, than frilly, but you know me well enough by now to understand that things are never simple when it comes to my posts and photos.  Anyway, I love it.  It is moody and could be taken in so many ways.  It is also pretty but a little scary at the same time. 

Suits me.

I have so much blogging to get done that you are going to have to excuse me for multiple posts.  This is mostly because I have soooo much to show you and I don't want to accidentally miss anything out.  I am going to try for a home & garden post as well as a fashion post today, but that may extend out to more depending on what I can get done in between having a RL and trying to get my BOSL article finished.  Whew!  SL is getting as busy as RL!  I will need a SL holiday.

I am hanging out in Tuscany today.  I am trying to find somewhere to have a Merlot or a Pinot Noir.  There are definitely vineyards around here so where there are grapes there is bound to be wine. I am pretty keen to sample some olive oil, breads and cheeses too.  This sim seems to have it all, so definitely a must-see on your tour of SL.

I just hope I don't get any red wine on my new dress!

I am filling the post with SWANK items today because I have so much to show you and they are all awesome. The main focus is this stunning gown I am wearing and feeling all princess-like in, but I am also giving you a faraway glimpse of some other items that you will get a closeup of later in the week!

I hope you are over the New Year craziness now and settling back into normality, whatever that may be.  I am back into routines and feeling better for it.  As much as I love the freedom to sleep in and eat junk, I also like a set pattern for my day and the feeling that I am achieving things!

Sometimes in life you get blown around a bit and sometimes you have to stand your ground, face the storm and embrace whatever it delivers.  The start of 2020 feels a bit like that.  I will not be swayed by what is going on around me.  I will stand strong and firm.

I had fun doing this photo.  I was literally in my favourite element; the cold and snowy.  I am not a summer girl at all.  It is just too hot.  So, today I am escaping RL and enjoying some SL reality!

My cool outfit and shoes are from AnaSTyle at SWANK.  I am enjoying a casual look today as tomorrow I will be all gowned up.  This is just one thing I am enjoying about blogging for SWANK; the variety available in each round!  I hope you are all racing over to see what else is on offer!

As promised here is all the info you need on this scene that I teased you with earlier today...plus some exciting news.  Okay, news first then...

I am SOOOO excited to announce that this year I have the honour of blogging for the SWANK event.  They are even letting me blog fashion and accessories as well as home & garden items.  BONUS!  I can't wait to show you all the great stores that are a part of this fab event.

Today is a tease.  I am showing you clothing, but I am also showing you the items behind me.  However, I am not going to tell you anything about them, where they come from or where you can find them until later today.  You are going to have to be patient.

I am also going to tell you some fab news later on too. Gosh, this is fun.  I should do this sort of thing more often.

In the meantime I will dance like it is the 20's.  Oh...wait...it is!
