New year, new start and all that, and I’ve hit the ground running in Second Life at least. In real life I am of course full of the snot and germs that prevail at this time of year, but at least in-world my nose isn’t red and my chops aren’t spotty…

In fact, dare I say it, I look rather good. The keen-eyed amongst you will have noticed a change, and that is because I’m trying out a new hair colour and skin combo. Yes, that’s right folks, I’ve gone blonde. Now, I don’t know how long this will last, but I have to say it looks rather swish don’t you think? In fact, I am very taken!The skin is from LAQ and is called ‘Vilda’ and it’s the nougat shade that I’m wearing, but what is totally brilliant about this skin is that blonde and brown brow options are included in the pack ( as well as a brown hairbase too) I love LAQ skins; they’re just so clean, crisp and nommylicious; always beautifully made-up and I guarantee compliments when I am sporting them. Plus you can purchase an outrageous cleavage enhancer in store too should you need one, but be warned; it really does make your decolletage into something other-wordly but if I’m feeling fun and flirty I add it into my outfit mix. The hair is new today from TRUTH. I’ve not been buying as much Truth hair recently as I usually do, and this is because I’d felt like I had my fill and needed to explore other options. But you just cannot beat the artistry behind his hairstyles, and I’ve found my way back into the fold via this glorious hat hairstyle called ‘Tatum’. To be fair recent weeks have seen my interest piqued by a number of ravishing styles, but with Christmas taking all my spare lindens tasty tresses were just not an option for me:( But I had to have this: It’s just so darn easy to wear and of course it features streak options and a colour change hat so is the perfect style to add to your casual wardrobe and see you through the rest of Winter. I must point out that this style actually looks as good from the back as it does from the front! I know that may sound utterly bonkers (hey this is me, remember?) but the length and layering as well as the movement just look totally swish. In fact, speaking of swish, there’s a bit of Cat Deeley in there somewhere, as well as a soupcon of Fearne Cotton, don’t you think?
Finally, the vest that I am wearing is part of today’s FIFTY LINDEN FRIDAY event ( The Rumor ALWAYS does a corking review of it, so add to your bookmarks and go here to take a peek)  and comes from FRI.DAY. It’s tres simple, but benefits from long, lean styling with a great texture and shading, plus the open buttons at the top make it look ever so slightly naughty. It’s perfect for just slobbing around your virtual abode. I’ve teamed mine with SURF COUTURE Yoga pants ( A MUST BUY!!) and my ever trusty MIEL ‘Nero’ flats while I lug boxes around my new home. Ahem, yes, you heard right. The year has changed and so has my dwelling. As much as I adored my previous residence it just wasn’t big enough for my needs, so I found something that was at a bargain price that I shall be featuring on these pages VERY soon; when I’ve finished decorating and stuffs, natch. Right, that’s enough chit-chat..pass me that box will you? Yes, that one, marked ‘Crockery’, don’t drop..
Oh dear. Time for a trip to SL HOME AND GARDENS methinks…
