Summertime

I think about you in the summertime, 
And all the good times we had, baby, 
Been a few years and I can't deny, 
The thought of you still makes me crazy, 
I think about you in the summertime.

TOSL ended a few days ago but I'm pretty sure that you can still get the dress at the Alexohol store, maybe just not at the TOSL price.  The store is in the process of being set back up, they moved...the info is all here in this blog blog .  Alex is starting releasing more mesh stuff, which I've blogged before.  It's really cute stuff for adorable prices.  Check the store out here .

What makes you Beautiful

You're insecure, don't know what for.

You're turning heads when you walk through the door.
Don't need make-up - to cover up...
Being the way that you are is enough.
Everyone else in the room can see it...
Everyone else but you.
Baby you light up my world like nobody else.
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed.,
But when you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell...
You don't know...
Oh oh...
You don't know you're beautiful!

A Taste of Country Couture

The leaves are quickly changing from the bright green shades to a mixture of reds, oranges and yellows. It seem to even happen in my little corner of SL. Then this weeks theme for TOSL seemed to just compliment the changing of seasons...Country Couture. Check out all the items at the TOSL blog.

The Tammy outfit, only a 150L, comes with three different styles of plaid shirts with the options of wearing the white tank and also the cute pair of denim shorts. The pose set is from Baffle and comes with the ground cover, pumpkins, hay bales, hale pile with pitchfork and the wagon. The pose itself has a total of seven different poses.

"June Bugs"

It's the second week of Taste of SL and this week's theme is June Bugs. There are so many cute adorable things. While shopping, I was thinking of this amazing place that I discovered while I was bored one evening and actually just managed to take Tyrone here last night. Never Never Land is magical, romantic hideaway with so many areas to explore, cuddle or just dance.


{dollipops} is new to the TOSL lineup. This week there were two items...this adorable dress with matching necklace, bangles and shoes(which I'm not wearing because I like to be barefoot so much) and then a set of really cute poses.

Happy Birthday Alexohol....

This week Alexohol turns 1. I'm partial because of two reasons...

1. I'm the manager there.
2. My two longest and bestest(yes, I said bestest) friends own and run Alexohol.

So Happy, Happy birthday Alexohol and congrats to AlexandraM Guisse and Kylie Krell for making it a year. I remember being TP'd to the first store, I remember the day those two asked me to help them out.....I remember moving the store around the grid on SL...I remember the fun, the laughing, the stressing, yeah even maybe a few mistakes. It has been an amazing year and I'm glad I've been apart of it.
