Come taste my wine... Nic in the cantine vinicola offering her wines.
I made many crazy tipsy pictures from Nic (was fun to do), but decide to put just this tasty pose in which she is offering you a drink on the third picture here. May be otherwise you get a wrong impression of her.

Nic is wearing a maxi skirt from Kaithleens. Available at FaMESHed.  It's a boho skirt, but here i styled it more for roleplay. You choose the basic color from the skirt. The frill part comes with a color hud with many colors.  The top is from a set with a short skirt from .:Amui:.
Pay attention to Nic's skin and necklace. Both are from the sale at amias. I love this pale red look. The freckles are also from amias. Several packages are still available (be in time).
The skin comes with natural lips... i used the lipstick from Nic's LeLutka hud. The hair i used already yesterday. From Limerence at FaMESHed. The hibiscus flower in her hair is from LODE. It is a hand accessory but i like it this way too. It is an old gift. In Christmas time i made a blog post with it. So may be you have this in your inventory too.
In the decor you can see the Vineyards table from Mesh India ( for this month Deco(c)rate). This will be the last Deco(c)rate. Read about it here. From July designers have an option to sell their items in their stores. So when you always wanted something specific from one of the Deco(c)rates now you get your chance.

The keg (or wine barrel) is from the Silk Road Hunt. Running this month. Find a golden pagoda. On the wall an old map also from that hunt. You get 15 textures from old maps from Timeless Textures in their present. Useful for nice decoration idea's. If you like old art paintings, then go hunt at Les arts de Saint-Bruno for the hunt gift.
In the decor are also items from Pixel Mode (table with chairs and the rug)  and 8f8 ( the pecorino rack and the salumi) from Nic's inventory.

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic ‘til I’m gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon Show me slowly what I only know the limits of Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long We’re both of us beneath our love, we’re both of us above Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love. (Leonard Cohen)

Dancing on a sunny day. In a garden with gypsophilia and chamomile and tea. It's time for love and dance.

Her little dog friends are sweet but.. not for birds.

Nic is wearing a combination of black and red. It is for the new theme "Modern and Elegant in Black and Red" from this week's challenge for the Reine du Shopping contest at Flickr. I hope you like it.

The blacks:
Nic is wearing a black dress from **Mistique**, a new release in the mainshop. I combined the dress with black shoes that i got as a present at FaMESHed. I hope you picked up all the presents there, because then it will be in your inventory. The round is over now. The choker from Safira is a present at Tres Chic. The black necklace is a present at eBento. The black hair (you get a fatpack) is one of the many gifts at Fabia. A whole wall with many group gifts there. The group join is 100ld, but that's very affordable because you get so many hairs!

The beautiful bento rings from CODEX , available at eBento (ending May 31st ) or also on the 4Mesh Event ( ending April 1st). Comes with a color hud.

the color of sorrow

☼

☼

Sometimes things change in life. Pain and sorrow can overwhelm. But sometimes something beautiful will bloom unexpectedly. The missing will always guide you, but you can feel strong bonds for ever. We are part of a great mystery.
Click small picture to enlarge. My Flickr picture is here. I love faves;)

Nic is in the color purple, the color of sorrow. She is surrounded by purple color tones from the Looking Glass Sim. It was by accident  (was it by accident?) that she was dressed like this and standing there, listening to a sad story. The blog post is a reflection of this all.

The dress is a release from Una for We <3 Roleplay. The colors are beautiful. Sold seperately are red, brown, purple, blue, pink and black.  The dress comes also with an modesty with embroidery. In the fatpack are more colors and also more modesty colors. Available at the event are a fatpack with veils in transparent and opaque. I didn't choose for Nic to wear the modesty, because i like the way you can see a small part of Nic's bra. She is wearing a bra from lingerie from FA Creations ( available at marketplace, because the shop is already long time gone). Nic's eye make-up is from Veechi, a group gift for Catwa and LeLutka in 6 duo colors.
The necklace from !IT! from the post before this one, Nic is now wearing in purple.
Under the skirt Nic is wearing an antique mule. You can see a close-up below.

sunny sunday morning

☼

☼

A bit sleeping and dozing and reading and then slowly starting the day. The soft silk from her lingerie feels cool and also warm on her skin. What a daybreak!
Click the small picture to enlarge. My flickr picture is here. I love faves ;)

Nic is wearing lingerie from Nerido, available at The Chapter Four. The beautiful tattoo from White~ Widow you can get in white or black at Uber. After long being in doubt i finally joined the Sintiklia hair group. There is group join fee, but worthwhile to join because you immediately can grab many good hairs, like for example this one, that Nic is wearing on the pictures. And don't forget to grab at The Liaison Collaborative the free for everyone Sintiklia hair gift. The hair flower in Nic's hand and on the bed is from LODE from a gacha at the Chapter Four. Near the bed you see leaves from a potted tree  It's a gift it Kazza. A decor heart is hanging near the tree. You can edit linked parts and place the hearts somewhere else or make the heart and shadow transparant when you want use the potted tree somewhere without a heart. The bed is also from Kazza, romantic and luxurious, with many adult animations.

hobby room

☼

☼

Playing with her dog or preparing some garden work, a place to hang her bike, doing some painting work. It's all possible in the hobby room. The hurling bat from him is there. The cake is ready for the tea this afternoon. A room for everything. Outside you can see the potted crocuses. Click small picture to enlarge.  My flickr is here. I love faves.

Nic is wearing a flower skirt, a gift from maci. The top is from an old Luxe Box from Stories&Co. by Flowey. Her hair is from the lucky boards at pr!tty. I was also the winner of a full desk set from .tree there. It is i think the furniture part of the pr!tty shop. See the set below. I already had the blanket curio from .tree (an old gift). Filled now with the group gift keepsake boxes in duo colors from Salacity. The other keepsake boxes in uni colors you can buy in the shop.They come in two sets. The artist chair on which Nic is sitting is also from Salacity. On the pictures you can see two of several colors. It is a chair with 10 different colors/types of paint finish for the chair and 29 different dynamic solo poses, including sitting and activities.
The Collabor88 March round started on 08-03-2018. The shopping sim makes it possible to shop already on the first days. And i did some shoppings there: the crate board side table ( see also below) and Nic's stockings. The can's from Lode combine perfect with that table(all cranberries).The sweet dog is from the new round of the Arcade. The skin fair opened today. Nic is wearing the skin Brigid from Dulce Secrets from the fair. From the March deco(c)rate is the ball and the hurling bat from Mesh India ( there is more in this MI Vineyard decor set). I will show other parts later on my blog.

"love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind"

♥

♥

♥

The title of this blogpost is a bit different from what the tattoo shows. The title of the blogpost is from Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream. Helena ponders the transforming power of love, noting that cupid is blind. Isn't that beautiful also in sl. In sl it's a bond of soul or mind that can bind strongly, without knowing what the other looks like in rl. The sentence from the tattoo will be based on this sentence from Shakespeare, i guess.

Nic is wearing a classic dress from Adorez, perfect for showing a back tattoo. At first glance when i saw the rose tattoo from [White~Widow], a release for The Enchantment Event, i knew, i wanted that tattoo. Some more roses i added. Roses from Lode in Nic's hair. The Ariskea groupgift rose in her dress between her breast. And a rose from NikotiN from a rose giver box in the shop in her hand.
Nic is standing in the shop from *MSS* ( Me Sew Sexy), because i wanted to buy there beautiful lingerie. I met the very friendly designer and talked a bit. Because of my love for Asian style ( the background of the designer), i suddenly got an Asian dress from him. Thank you so much Jaylen. I will blog both *MSS* items as soon as possible for you.

golden brown sunny dreamy winterworld

☼

☼

Making this blogpost  with Nic's golden sunny outfit the whole time the song from the Stranglers "Golden brown" was in my mind. First i thought the songs name was golden dream, but it's golden brown. The music is very cheerfull.
For Nic her second life world is in a golden dream. A sunny golden dream, although it's cold and snowy.
Don't blame me please, that i show you again something from Gulabi. It's the ruffle skirt, available at the Sense event. The new Year brings a new event. The first round of SENSE. This event showcases new releases in many categories, such as men & women's fashion, furniture, home&garden and more by prestigious & luxury Second Life brands. In the fatpack from the skirt is this golden color and some more beautiful extra colors. The colors that you can buy apart are also very beautiful.
I searched in Nic's inventory with what to combine the skirt and found the top from tres blah ( old Luxe Box item). The hair accessory is from the gacha from *LODE* at The Chapter Four (each try 50ld). The shoes are from Blueberry, showed them before in silver. I think these elegant shoes are perfect with this sort of skirts.
Nic is wearing the same jewelry as yesterday, but now also the necklace.

do you like my Christmas table?

In a festive mood Nic is giving you a preview from the Christmas table, that she wants to prepare for her friends. The table and chairs and the delicious things on it are from unKindness. It is from the gacha at Imaginarium. Even a feast pavillion is in that gacha.
The cookies in a box are from Dust Bunny, the Fifty Linden Friday item. The candles are from Pixel Mode. On the plates from [- Blue Sky-] ( posted before here) are flowers from Lode, a present at The Chapter Four. The sparkling stars are from 7mad;Ravens from sometime ago. At the small picture (click to enlarge) you can see at the right side a pouf from Upcycled. Told you in the post from yesterday about all the gifts there.
Nic is wearing a nice gown from -Aura- . Dancer told me about the closing sale from the shop. Because of that at marketplace are many nice clothes just 25ld. The hair is a new release from !!Firelight!! called Maia, a release at the Naughty List 2 (till 31st of December) . It's a gacha item. The necklace and earrings are from Fortuna, a gift at The Avenue. It's the jewelry set Alice. I like the little cubes. The snow kitty ears headband is in the package from the hair at The Chapter Four ( a gift).
