Once upon a SL time....

There lived a princess....but Princess Ema was not your ordinary princess. She was a little feisty, she liked to break the rules, and she loved to have fun. Most importantly this princess loved to shop and find pretty dresses, tiaras and shoes. Well this weekend, that princess was in luck, Taste of Second Life's weekend theme was "A Fairytale Ending." She found amazing poses too, but her prince charming was logged into real life for the weekend. As much as Princess Ema wanted to blog those pictures...she was going to have to just have fun exploring the enchanted forest alone.

Who wants to wear clothes?

If there is something you should know bout me....I like wearing the smallest amount of clothing possible. However, I love shopping for clothes and occasionally I really do love wearing them. This weeks 50L Friday at Kyoot had an adorable brown printed bikini with a matching brown tank. Kept in the theme of wearing as little as possible. Then I kept exploring the other stores in the list and Scribble had an awesome hemp and glass bead necklace that seemed to match the outfit. I decided to pair it all together with a new facial piercing release from *ICED*.

Relaxin from the SOL Fair

So after all that shopping and fighting with the lag on the sim(which I really didn't was that bad but I was going in the middle of the night for me), it's time I think to relax. Alexohol had two SOL exclusives swimsuits that are plain adorable....a one brown/teal one piece and then a cute bikini.

So if you aren't up for hanging at the beach or pool, you could also just chill and relax in these adorable T-shirts from T Junction. I paired both with two other SOL items, a cute jean skirt from Berries and a pair of jean shorts from Black & Blue Outfitters. The shirt of the left says, "Please talk to my face, my breasts can't hear you." (The angle of the pose may make it difficult to read.)

Here comes the bride

A year ago tonight, I did something in Second Life that I thought I would never, EVER, in a million years do...I got married. It was something that was unexpected but nonetheless it was by far the most amazing thing I've done in SL. I know there are the critics that don't get the whole wedding thing and I respect them as much as I respect the people that are happy to have partners. A year later, I know without a doubt, that this was the best choice ever.

So this got me thinking tonight, I realized something. Since I have started blogging, I always leave something out. Maybe it is on purpose and maybe it isn't, honestly I'm not sure. I just know I have my reason for always omitting it. It's my wedding ring. I took a closer picture of it tonight so that can kinda see the shiny wonder that is around my lil finger. It was picked out all by Tyrone, with only one hint/request by myself....it had to be silver, I'm not a fan of gold. The ring is from JCNY and is the Nations Princess Combo Ring(It came with the engagement ring, the combo ring and the wedding band).






I'll try and make this part not so sappy and sweet but I'm sure I'll fail. I, very unexpectedly, met Tyrone when I wasn't looking for a relationship. I'm not going into details of what all was happening in my SL for various reasons. There is a HUGE part of me though that is for ever amazed that we met the way we did, that we have held on through some rough SL waters and that today more than ever, I am happy that I said "I do" in that perfect little church. His famous words one afternoon when we were chatting were simply, "You know Em Jay, you aren't the marrying type." He was probably right...well in fact, I know he was. I'm just glad he has never given up on me and here we are....still tangled up in each other over one year of meeting each other and one year to the date of being married.






This isn't the dress I wore the night I got married. This is the dress that I found one afternoon shopping around and it just jumped out at me as the perfect dress. My wedding dress was very, very simple from Earth and Sky. I thought I wanted the big poofy wedding dress and I ever have three or five, well maybe ten, in my inventory because I couldn't decide. I didn't want flashy, I wanted simple....because after all, I'm just Em. Simple Em.

This dress is one that I hope to wear soon, when I say "I do" to Tyrone again. A year later...better and stronger.

Dress: Indyra Originals : Demeter-Platinum
Earrings: LacieCakes : Floating Diamond Drop Earrings

Skin: LAQ : Elena [Nougat]-02

Here is to an wonderful adventure of year one. I can't wait for year two, three and maybe even like seven, ten and twenty (who knows really). It's going to be done like only we can do it. I love you, Tyrone. Happy Anniversary!!!!

Love,

Em

There are also very adorable necklaces from *ICED*, LacieCakes, and *INDI ROSE* It the middle of July, who doesn't need another bikini.

Chillin' Em Jay Style

So last night, I think I did one of my favorite things to do in SL. What you ask? Well, it's watching Tyrone build because I really suck at building. I tried to make a simple sky box and it was an utter disaster so thankfully I gave up on it. Instead I prefer to just stand and look cute while he builds. This is exactly what I did last night....yes I even put on sunglasses just to look cooler.

Date Night

Last night was "date night," well maybe every night seems to be date night for me lately. I was looking for something summery but still sexy when I happened upon the latest release from Twisted and Spoiled. The lime green dress has the potential to be very casual with a cute pair of wedge sandals but also able to be dressed up with a pair of sexy heels like in the picture below. It also comes with a matching bikini and also in a variety of different colors.

A case of the Monday Blues...

Who really "loves" Mondays? I know I don't. I would rather be playing around or relaxing...doing my own thing rather than working. Today I had a horrible case of the Mondays so I thought Em should at least be rockin' out the blues from her Monday.

Rawrrrrrr...

...Means I love you in dinosaur!!!!

I love that shirt and I fell in love with it when I found it in world. I'm also a huge fan of my rain boots. I have the cupcake ones and also the black/teal polka dot rain boots from Urban Bomb Unit.

So I was so bored tonight and when that happens I typically either go find trouble in SL or I get silly. Tonight it was silliness that prevailed.




Case in point...me jumping in the grass and running around at home. Of course maybe it had something to do with the poses...just the name made me smile--Silly Girl. I think I was nothing short of being a very silly Em. All that jumpin around led to the need to lay down and relax in the tulips for awhile though...so I did.




Then I got this crazy idea....cartwheels...


















So that was my late Saturday/early Sunday adventure...here is how to get the look:

Shirt: Cheeky Lemon: RAWR! T-shirt
Capri's: *Connors*: Half Denim [A] Old Blue

Lazy Friday Afternoons

It's been really, really hot in RL today, so I figured I would mirror how I feel in SL....comfy but content to just lay on the couch and chill. Plus I've been in a very casual mood in SL lately...nothing more than shorts and t-shirts or really cute tanks and capris. I was super excited when I got the NC from Fri.day and saw the 50L Friday Exclusive Poet. Halter tank. It goes with my mood of the afternoon...
