Last Minute Shopping

Who says you can't get all dressed up to finish your last minute Christmas shopping?  After braving the Black Friday crowd all sleepy eyed, wearing one house slipper and a sneaker, there's no reason why you can't get all dolled up for your last minute shopping excursion. 

Look how bare my tree looks back there! I've been slacking.

Sweet Antidote

Apoca is a new release from Sweet Antidote and I love how the designer put this outfit together.  I feel like all I need now are some weapons so I can venture out to hunt the evil that lurks in the dark parts of a post-apocalyptic world.

SL's Evil Message

There I was, minding my own business... when all of a sudden, SL sends me one of their notorious threat letters!

I couldn't believe they would send me such awful news!

So I scrambled to leave!  When I got to the place where I thought I would be safe... SL sent me ANOTHER evil message!

I tried to think happy thoughts.... and when I was almost out of time, I decided to go buy MAKEUP!  Weee makeup! (I know that makes you excited too....lol)

I ended up going to the Juicy sim; not only for makeup, but for pretty scenery.  I love ponds with water lilies... I only wish there was a turtle somewhere in there lol.

The Chelle Tropical makeups have been out for a little while now, but I think they are so pretty. <3

Prue

I love doing Pile Ups!  Sometimes I forget to look at the Pile Up groups on Flickr and I see so many great creations already posted on there.  Prue Genira submitted a photo that was already so pretty, but I wanted to try and Pile Up her lovely face! <3

A Dream to Wonder

I dreamed I was a doll....  A doll with smooth porcelain skin and bright shiny eyes.  Waiting for you to come home from school, anxiously pick me up, hug me close, and dress me up for a tea party. 

I tried to dress myself, but I didn't get very far.  It's not as fun without you to help me choose.

I decided to wait for you to pick out what's best to wear with this dress.  I danced on my music box like a happy honey bee, wondering what new stories and secrets you would be too excited to tell only me.



Bloom Doll - Surf Co.
Music Box (Over the Rainbow) - HopScotch
Hair - [e] About - Elika
Dress [Pret-a-porter Heiress Dress] - TASTY  (This dress is no longer available, but there are LOTS of awesome knick knacks, homes, accessories, and more to see here.)

What To Do...

I was rummaging through my inventory, (trying to organize the mess that seemed to sneak up on me), when I came upon my "Lingerie" folder.  This is a folder that I don't really have much use for, but I will say it is filled with tons of lace and satin in any color imaginable. 

I asked Steven Tyler what he thought, his sleepy eyes cracking just for a half a second, before closing once more so that he could continue with his beauty rest. 

After trying on a few of the pieces that I love most, I found one that I'd not yet tried on.  When I saw it in the store, I fell in love with it, but in a hurry to take care of something else, I put it away with intentions of going back to it soon. 

This corset by Candy Doll is simple, gorgeous, and sexy.... a great addition to anyone's "Lingerie" folder. ;)

Separated Blogs

To make things a bit easier for me, I've decided to separate the ::COOL BEANS:: blog from my personal blogging.  I figured it might lessen some confusion to name the blog for the store appropriately as well LOL.  So... if you're looking for the store blog, please visit ::COOL BEANS:: here.

Kisses <3
