Don’t worry, you will be
Everything you need to see
Don’t worry, safe in here
The pain and the sorrow that you felt
Will be washed away

Shoeless in Hamburg

.Reading time 3 minutes.

Good morning everybody! It’s the weekend and I know I’m not supposed to ramble but this time I have to! 6th Republic is back and I can’t just ignore that. I’m incredibly honored to have been chosen to cover the event, so get ready for many many pictures this month.

If you’re not familiar with it already, the event is bi-annual, it’s about decor except from this round, though, where you will also get some fashion as well. The theme for this 2nd anniversary round is Destination: Europe, so all designers have been inspired by their favorite places in the continent. I have seen some Athens and Santorini releases so far and I’m very very excited!

The layout of the sim is the same as the previous round, perfectly decorated as always (I loved the “memories” section at the sim), with Jay‘s amazing windlight and will open for you tonight at 12pm SLT. You can have a look here for more details about the event and all the participating stores.

My first post for the event will be about Hamburg! I have mentioned before how 22679 constantly challenge me as a blogger with their work. This time they almost had me! They created “The Speicherstadt Hamburg”, which I had to google myself as I have never been to Hamburg yet, sadly. The build is incredible, so real-life looking and so big as well! But size, sometimes, does matter, so I can’t imagine making something like this, in a smaller size – it wouldn’t make sense I guess. You can have a look for more details about the build here, to give you a better idea of what it is.

The shoes are from Essenz, also at the 6th Republic. They’re wearable of course but you can also rez them as decor, in 3 different options. Pretty cool!

So guys, I don’t know how you’ll be spending your night/noon, whatever timezone you’re on, but make sure you visit the event as it will remain open for only 2 weeks and you might want to hurry!

That’s all for now everybody, I’m dancing today so I have to go get ready! Wish me luck!

The story continues…and Some News

.Reading time 4 minutes.

This is my last post that I will be posting on DIY SL Blog the amazing blog I have with my Bestie and partner in crime Exis.   So yes prepare for a small ramble lol.  Exis and I after a few discussions over time have decided that our blogs will be best suited separately, there is many reasons for this, none of which are bad despite what some may wish to think or believe I’m sure knowing the virtual world the way we both do lol.   The simple fact is that we have very different styles, very different visions and wish for very different things on our journeys as bloggers and therefore we feel it will be more beneficial for us to have our own blogs.

We initially began the blog what seems years not only months ago, Exis began with my support and encouragement and I worked behind the scenes building the blog, posting her blogs/pictures, doing her credits, basically doing all of the admin side to the blog whilst she worked hard on her pictures, building knowledge, growing her creativity and artistic side for which I have great pride for all she has achieved even though I need to spank her occasionally to have more confidence in all she’s achieved.

Once everything was in place I began my own journey of taking the pictures, creating blogs, learning and growing which will continue no doubt forever lol,  her support was endless as always.  It is something we have always done for each other not only during our blogging adventures but since we met a few years ago, we’ve supported each other through good times and bad, through laughter and tears, through immense happiness and heartbreak and nothing will ever change that, no matter what paths we are on, that is true friendship and I feel very fortunate to have that with her.

So now the story continues and I will be starting my own blog, its already set up and it’s called Sunshine & Sparkles and I know hand on heart that Exis and I will continue to support each other probably even more so now they are separate.   I hope you like my new blog and continue to support me and enjoy my posts too.

There may be some changes as I establish the blog further but one thing will remain is my love of blogging, my love of fashion, my love of coffee and my love of my best friend.  I hope to see you all on the new blog soon.

Hugs and Love

Jules

Challenges

.Reading time 2 minutes.

Life is full of challenges not only in the real world but in our Virtual world too, challenges can be a good thing in my opinion.   I am a person who loves to be challenged aswell as challenging myself with new things especially learning new things, I know I am a geek but hey I’m a fun geek lol.  Recently I have been challenging myself a lot learning new things, this could be about blogging, or photoshop or even some totally new to me things which I won’t digress about just yet but one thing I will say, it keeps the mind active, the energy flowing, excitement of life alive.

Now yes some are likely thinking after recent posts isn’t your life busy enough as it is lol well hell yeah it is but I also thrive on busy, it keeps me busy, out of trouble lol and distracted, all good things.   So why not challenge yourself today, do something you wouldn’t normally do and see how it feels.

Todays outfit comes from Erratic, I bought it a while back but have yet to wear it so today’s the day hehe the leather skirt just screamed out for Tattoo which I added by Ephemeral and really cute eyes by Mesange which is available at Designer Circle for just a couple more days, the pose is such a sweet selfie pose by darling poses it finished it off totally.  The décor is by Q Essentials and floorplan you should totally check them out if you are looking for some new décor.

Have a great day everyone ♥

Positive mind equals a positive life…

.Reading time 1 minute.

I’ve always been a “Glass half full” kind of person, I try to see the positive in even the worst situations and this actually amuses a lot of people around me.   But whilst even I can have my down or off days I do feel thinking positive just gives your day, your life a more positive feel to it, so why would I not choose that above feeling negative when let’s face it there is already enough of that in life to deal with.

So today why not look for the positive in everything that happens,  yes can be difficult at times, but I guarantee it’s totally worth it.   Today’s post was such a pleasure to create, with the stunning new dress from #bubbles along with this awesome pose by Awear which you can find at Pose Lover & Friends for just a few more days and yes my day was already a happy and positive one, and I wish the same for each and every one of you.

Have a great Tuesday everyone ♥

End of Summer…

.Reading time 1 minute.

The end of summer has definitely come and gone, well actually I’m not even sure it arrived properly for me but well it’s nothing new.  The cooler days are coming and already the nights are darker earlier.

To be honest whilst I do love summer once it arrives, I am also very much a lover of Autumn and winter too and I am looking forward to those not only in RL with cosy nights, in cosy comfy clothes, hot chocolate and fires, but also in SL with all the amazing clothes I can’t wait to see wear.

But for today I have chosen a wonderful summery outfit to end my summer with gorgeous little dress by L.c. Clothing and available at Pose Lover & Friends, and if like me you love to buy and use poses, check out this sexy little pose by XXY called Flirty girl also available at the Pose Lover & Friends Event.

Happy Monday everyone ♥

Friends will always be there…

.Reading time 2 minutes.

I am thankful to be able to say I have some really good loyal friends in my life, I am not a collector of friends to be honest, I would sooner have a small amount of good, loyal, honest friends I can devote my time to than reams of friends I cannot keep up with.

True friends are revealed through hard times and that’s been true in my experiences so I hold tight to my true friends, I give my love, loyalty, support back to each one and will always be there when I am needed no matter what is going on in my own life.

Today’s post was done with one of those friends, he’s been a really good friend for a number of years now and is always there on good days and bad and I couldn’t ask for a better or more loyal, supportive friend, so a huge hug and thank you to Daniel for not only helping me with today’s pose but for being such an awesome friend.

If you never try, you will never know…

.Reading time 4 minutes.

Happy Saturday everyone, the weekend is here and doesn’t it feel good lol.   Today’s title is a small quote I got today and it really is true.   So many of us sit and wish for this or wish for that but all we do is talk, you never know what you can do, what you can achieve until you try.  I used to sit and look at all the wonderful blogs out there, inspired by them I knew that I wanted to try it for myself, initially I came into this world of Fashion blogging by supporting my bestie Exis, I was the silent partner on the blog, doing the admin and setting it all up while she took the pictures, made the fabulous and creative posts.

Once we was all set I began my own journey of blogging, photography and honestly it’s now a huge part of my life, it’s hard work, anyone who says blogging is easy “you just put on clothes and take a picture” needs to walk a week in a bloggers shoes.  A friend of mine saw yesterday the day in the life of a blogger lol from choosing your outfit and accessories, the pose and location, the windlight etc and that’s all before you even start on the editing in PS and actually posting your blog, making sure to credit it correctly,  he was really surprised and commented on how he hadn’t realised how much goes into it lol.

For me every moment is worth what I do because I love it so much.  I get to showcase many fabulous designs from my own wonderful sponsors aswell as items I purchase to blog, I get to explore wonderful sims of SL and I am also getting to know some wonderful people, even though we don’t meet or even talk much apart from Flickr, I come to appreciate all they do, the hard work, aswell as be thankful for the support we all give each other.

So next time you want to try something, don’t think about it, do it, because “If you never try, you will never know”

Todays outfit is courtesy of the wonderful designers Love for the gorgeous hair which comes with a halo and is available at The Book of Daniel Event that opens today, this event is for a really wonderful cause so be sure to check it out.  The cute dress I am wearing is by PaperMoon, the hand tattoos are Arabic Tattoos and the really cute pose I am using is by the awesome MEOW Poses.  I really enjoyed putting this one together.

Have a wonderful Saturday everyone ♥
