I Work Out!

True STORY!

When I first came to SL it was for the sole purpose of Role Play.  I am a writer at heart....and one of the places I found along my search was Perdition.  It holds a fond place in my heart because I met one of my dearest friends there and well...played a whole lot of fun things!  In any case, one day not last fall, but the fall before...I went and got on some sweats and cute lil shoes and my new hair from Truth...and I decided I was going to RP my Lawyer character out for a jog.  So I am all excited and I tp on over there and I go running around the sim.  Cause you know, I am jogging. 

Running running running....and then I get this IM...."Umm, I don't know if you know it or not....but your naked."

I stop....surly not.  I mean, his graphics are prolly messed up or wishful thinking, ya know?!  Only, then group chat opened up and someone else was like. "I just saw Krysta run pass naked!"

By this time I was doing Yoga in the park....naked.

I about died.  Just saying, I don't wanna be naked in Perdition.  I wanna be jogging in Perdition, in my new hair.  At least that part was on.  So I tped my naked butt outta there so fast and I was ...mortally embarrassed.  I really do think I died a little that day.  -sighs-  LOL BUT today when I threw on Intrepids new Track Suit, I was reminded of that day.  I am really excited about Intrepids growth.  Initially they had a very small inventory but it is growing every day and I love the new things the designer is coming out with. 

See mah ABS!  How cool is that?  I broke down, I went to go see Alena over at Pink Fuel....between Wow Skins and Pink Fuel, I feel like my love for any other skin is slowly drifting away....SO While scooping out that Alena skin, I found this cute little abs tattoo....-grins- I feel all...not sitting in this chair blogging right now, but like....like....

I AM RUNNING NAKED THROUGH PERDITION!!!!

Memories of {mon tissu}

I admit, entering contests over the past year has taught me a lot about blogging.  I've learned how important it is to make sure you pose in a way that shows off the clothing, how to edit photos without distorting the main focus of the picture, lighting.....it goes on and on.  I have learned a lot.   Still, the main thing I have learned is how important the credits are for each item.  I admit, in the past, I have slacked a bit with a skin or eyes that I wear constantly and I haven't don't many pose credits because I have so many.  I have since learned the importance and I suggest to new bloggers....join some contests....if nothing else, it will teach you how to be a better blogger!

So, with that said, I want to present to you....my first memory of {mon tissu}!

When the contest was announced for {mon tissu} blogger I thought back to the first time I dived into their cute little store.  I remember I about died and fell in love with just the outside of the store. A beautiful little village square that was reminiscent (at least for me) of the little villages on the Almafi coast in Italy.

I contemplated the wisdom of entering, considering my impulsive nature....but I wanted the shoes.  My friend had been wearing them and I wanted them so so much.  So, peering through the glass, I promised myself I would get the shoes and run.  Yes, that was the plan.

Bracing myself, I marched to the door, offering myself a quick pep talk. "You probably don't need anything else but those shoes....just find the shoes." Yeah, that's what I would do.

*Offers a dramatic sigh*  I don't have to tell anyone who has been to {mon tissu} what happened then.  I am sure it has happened to many a strong woman. 

Hello, My name is Krysta, and I am a fallen woman at the feet of {mon tissu}.  I bought the shoes, I sure did!

And a pair of pants, two Boho blouses, because one certainly wasn't enough....and a plethora of other items.  I banned myself from {mon tissu}.

I mean, I tried.  Only, I am an addict now...and when MESH hit the scene, well...I was there to grab the Lycia tank and bra...that's all I meant to get, but I walked out with the Sloane pumps and....lawd, you guys get the idea.

So when I heard about the contest, I wondered how I would do justice?  I am glad I have two chances...because one isn't enough.  I thought....the shoes that started it all and that (I AM SO SORRY) I have blogged quite a few times since, would be instrumental so....I shop...and what do I need?  A smart little number from {mon tissu} will do just fine!   I love the gathered material around the tie of the dress, it offers a really realistic and soft look with the shadows and the bow. 

The shoes, which I still absolutely love a year later, have the same attention to detail and soft look I love most from {mon tissu}. The heel?  That wooden heel?  Yeah, that's one of my favorite parts, but the cute lil ruffle on the front, the shadows....they sold me on this shoe.  I admit, I didn't even see the side strap until I bought them and put them on.  It is a super cute heel...why are you still sitting here?
In the end, I decided the shopping bags weren't enough and snagged me another....the cute little Weekend Traveler...well it just put me in the mood for this small travel back in time.

{mon tissu} has moved though and all that remains of the old little store front are my memories and a wishing fountain...but if you are a true blue lover of the brand, you can grab your Weekend Travel bag and head on over to  Mayfair and get to shopping!
