Please forgive my few words these days, it is a quite hard period in my RL. I know I'm not at my best in writing, in taking pictures and even in following events and catching up with all the things I would like to blog, but at this time I can't really help it. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Take a chance and roll the dice - Ride with the moon in the dead of night

So this is Halloween! Although it's not a traditional celebration in my country, it's been spreading all over in the last years, above all among kids.

I'm sharing with you some interesting Halloween deals, with very nice prices!

Severed Garden has put out 2 costumes for Halloween: Morgana, a cute witch outfit including a scripted cauldron as a backpack, and Wednesday, obviously inspired from the Addams family character. They are priced 90L till November the 2nd, then Morgana will go back to its original price.

Evie's Closet is spoiling us with Fable, an amazing gown in the Halloween edition. It comes with long and short skirt and can be worn as lingerie too. 50L.

The skin is from Glam Affair @ The Dressing Room, which means great quality for low price.

Enjoy! 

Outfit: Severed Garden - Morgana - 90L

Skin: Glam Affair @ TDR - Gio Light - I wanna bite you - 70L

Outfit: Severed Garden - Wednesday - 90L

 Gown: Evie's Closet - Halloween Fable (2011) - 50L

Happy Birthday Italy & Pacific Crisis Fundraiser

Today Italy celebrates the 150th anniversary of its unification.

A famous Italian architect, Renzo Piano, recently said "we are dwarves on a giant's shoulders." and I totally agree with him. We must be proud of our art, language and our culture, but those giants are dead. Now we have to deal daily with all the dwarves who are making Italy the tail ender of Europe. These vulgar, close-minded and rude dwarves are showing a distorted reality to the rest of the world. We are not like them. Believe me.

There are also some dwarves who think they would be better if Italy wasn't united. You are anachronistic. In the Internet era, more than ever we are citizens of the world, and so we should feel. Don't go back to Middle Age and grow up.

Olela, one of the most famous Italian bloggers, shared with us a great video that unfortunately is not subbed in English (it's something we should do, sharing the few giants left we have with the rest of the world) and pointed an Italian pride gift offered by an Italian designer. Check it out and if you have ever heard about Dante Alighieri, watched "Life is beautiful" or just eaten pizza or Nutella, think of us and celebrate too.



I won't forget, as I was saying earlier, we are citizens of the world.
At the other side of the world, an awful disaster occurred, or better is still occurring. Once again Second Life community is showing its support.
Japan is a country very dear to me, I am in love with Japanese culture to the point I made it my major at university. Even though, as someone said, Japan is a rich nation, those who suffer, die or lose people they love, deserve our solidariety, no matter where are they from and what is the reason.
Thank you very much to the organizers and the designers who are offering their produts as donations at the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser.

Here's a look I put together with items purchased at the event, the biggest part with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity.

Skin: Glam Affair - Sakura Skin Natural 01 - 599L, 100% donation.
Hair: Exile - Sakura naturals (mink) - 200L, 100% donation
Jumper: Ibizarre - Leela Norge Jumper - 100L, 100% donation
Skirt: The Secret Store - Froufrou Onyx - 189L, 100% donation
Bangles: je suis... - je suis...asymetrique Red and White - exclusive colour for the event, 79L, 100% donation
Necklace and earrings: je suis... - je suis...douce bright - 390L, 50% donation.

The slurs should bring you right in front of the item. The place is crowded and lagged, so keep your ARC and scripts down. It's a bit claustrophobic, many designers wanted to be part of the project, but don't give up!
Visit the venue, there are so many items that it will be impossible not to find something to buy!

[Review] - Lelutka, shoes & hair

It's shopping time at LeLutka: one day after another, they released beautiful items in various departments, and I want to show you the ones I like most.

Let's start with...shoooooes! The stunning Fame pumps, that I'm wearing in the Pearl shade. They come with a detachable legwarmer in 2 versions, plain or striped, with a colour change script that allows you to mix and match the colour of the lower, upper and main part. I can't resist shoes...

Georgeous, that I've been wearing for days, is an awesome long hairstyle, shown in the Coal Mine shade, from the Dark Greyscale pack.

Flapper, I couldn't help falling in love with this original and retro style, worn again in Coal Mine.

Check these beautiful products and many others at LeLutka!

Thank you so much, LeLu VanDouser!
