True Love’s Beginning

True Love's Beginning

Hello everyone!  I will be moving blog addresses starting today and completely effective as of February 10th.  I will still be blogging and all that jazz, just moving to a domain with hosting other than wordpress. So if you have us on your blogroll or follow list, or you are one of the many designers we blog for the new address will be:  Once Upon a Second Life.   If you don’t already know, the two of us, He Got Swag (Brayden Thirdborn) and Miss Painfully Hip (DanicaSaerwen), have decided to join blogs.  Why?  Well to start the story,  Brayden and I met here in Second Life.  We fell in love with each other and got married in world.  Then we decided to take it into the real life and began the start of a great relationship.  Four years later, here we are, married in Real Life, and of course living together.  Some say they don’t believe in fairy tales.  Well I do.  Because I’m living my fairy tale here in Real Life and in Second Life with the same amazing man and family.  So we want to share our Second Life with you.  Our fashion, our joy, our happiness, our passions, our family and much much more.  We hope you will continue following us here now through this storybook.  We love you all, our friends, family, fans, and followers.

❤ Dani & Brayden

Know I Love You More

Know I Love You More

Good morning lovelies!  And happy Monday!  I know most people hate Mondays, but I like them because it’s my Sunday, my day off work!   A lot of us are off work anyways because it’s Martin Luther King Day.  So enjoy your day!  I have some new stuff I would like to show you today so get your purses and wallets ready!

If you haven’t been to the Cosmetic Fair, you should definitely run down there because you will find this gorgeous skin, Mokatana, from Glam Affair.  It’s available in 8 different makeups in this lovely Artic tone.  So go get your favorite!

There’s a new event in town and it’s called The Theme Park.  It’s a monthly event that changes at the 15th of every month.  The theme for this round is Vintage.  This gorgeous dress from Coquet is just one of the many designs available at this event.  It is available in 3 colors so you can go get your favorite one.  The textures on this dress are just amazing so you don’t want to miss out on this.

New Truth Hair?  That’s right.  This GORGEOUS new hair called Esperanza is just one of the two hairs that was released yesterday.  You can’t go wrong with Truth Hair.  It gets better with every release.  You’ll fall in love with each one!  You can never have too many.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Happy Shopping,

❤ Dani

Cause We Got the Fire

Happy Saturday lovelies!  I hope everyone had a great week.  I think we’re probably all glad it’s the weekend. Still getting caught up but I am still going to show you some new designs that are out for you to go pick up because they are still available for you to go get!

This gorgeous skin, called Magenta, made by the beautiful Aida Ewing from Glam affair is available at The Seasons Story collection for the winter round.  This is a pre-release of this skin so definitely something you want to check out and demo!

And this dress from Color.Me.H.O.F.. I don’t even have the words.  It’s so fabulous!  You can get it in several different colors but this color was just too sexy so it was my favorite.  Go get yours!

Also while I was gone on vacation Lelutka released some new hair and this one is just to die for!  It’s called NEU.  There’s a version that goes over both of your shoulders but I just loved this one this most so I had to have it.  Must demo it!  You won’t walk away empty handed.

Happy Shopping lovelies!

Let’s Hear it for the Good Times

Let's Hear it for the Good Times

Ok so the holidays are over.  And now I’m so serious it’s back to blogging.  Being out of town for almost 3 weeks can really put you behind. I did have a great holiday and came back to some wonderful things but I was sad to go but glad to be back and getting back on track.  I have some new stuff to show you today yay!  Also my hubby and I are going to be working on a new project together and combining blogs so be on the look out for a move and a new awesome site!  A sneak peek can be found here.  Still a work in progress but it’s getting there!  Once Upon a Second Life  (Coming Soon to a blog near you….)

I am so excited and thrilled to say that Curio has finally released her new skins!  She released one called Ember, Penelope and Nadia.  And I just fell completely with this one I’m wearing called Penelope and I had to get the whole pack.  I know it’s a younger looking skin but I think it’s just darn adorable!  So if I were you, I’d get down there and try them out! The are first of many to come.

It seems there were so many new releases while I was gone.  And then when I get back there’s more!  This lovely new hair, called Snow from Truth is just a must have.  I’m so excited because it’s the same name as my display name in world!  It feels so special! So I had to show you and you must go try it too!

This cute cute cuteeeeee dress from Tee*fy is available in lots of color choices at Collabor88.  I was feeling a little tired of winter and decided to dress a little more for warm weather so I found this perfect dress! And since I love mint it was perfect!  There’s other colors available so go get your favorite.  Along with some other awesome deals!

And you can’t have a perfect outfit without the perfect shoes.  If you have the high version of the Slink feet, you wanna get these new Miranda heels made by fri.day at Collabor88.  There are several colors available and you can find the perfect one to match your outfit!

Happy shopping lovelies!

Winter’s Kiss

Winter's Kiss

Good morning lovelies!  I just love winter.  All the snow and pretty things.  I’m sorry I’ve been away for a bit.  Real life has been kicking my butt.  BUT I’m back now and happier than ever.  I have some wonderful news to share!  My SL husband, Brayden Thirdborn and I eloped in Real Life this past weekend!  We’ve been together for a long while now and just felt that it was time.  I know we wanted to do the big wedding and reception but for now this is just as good. We’ll do all the big stuff next year.  The important thing is we are more in love than we’ve ever been.  And it was definitely the right decision.

Ok ok enough of my mushy story haha!  Anyways I wanted to share this beautiful picture with you today.  We actually took this picture at our home in SL and the amazing Polly Elan edited it!  We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome.

In this picture we used a new pose at The Men’s Dept, made by the fabulous Luna Jubilee at !bang poses.  It fit the mood, the look, and the picture!  Love it!  Such a soft sweet pose.

I hope you all are having a great start to your weekend.  If you want to know what Bray is wearing you can go visit his post HERE!

Also there’s a new event on the grid called Winter Trend SL!  It started yesterday and lasts til December 13th.  You can find lots of warm cozy designs perfect for the season!  This adorable sweater from Suicidal Unborn is one of the great designs you go get.  It comes with a texture HUD with different colors so you can find the one you love the best.

Somebody To Love

Somebody To Love

Heyyyyy there lovelies!!! Life has been soooo busy lately I haven’t had time to even think!  Had a short vacation last weekend and now I’m back to show you some more goodies!  If you haven’t been down to ShoeTopia, you have until the 30th to do so.  And if you do you should go check out these CUTTTTEEEE boots.  These are something you don’t want to live without along with tonnns of other amazing shoes to fill your inventory with!

I decided to step out of the norm too with this new hair from Exile called Erase and Rewind, and wear black.  Normally I wear Blonde or brown hairs but today I felt like wearing Raven.  It fit the look and the mood.  Love it!  So you should go try it too!  There are a couple of other new ones too to choose from.

I hope everyone is staying warm this week!

Happy Shopping,

❤ Dani

Never Be Royals

Never Be RoyalsHey Lovelies!  Sorry it’s been so long.  I’m trying to play catch up now!  RL work gets so busy sometimes I don’t get a moment away but I’m back and back to show you lots of new things.  I’m a little behind but these are still new and available for you to go get if you haven’t seen them yet!

The new round of Collabor88 had lots of great goodies to go after.  This leather corset and skirt both made by ISON are just too perfect.  I love the sophisticated yet sexy look it gives off.  I decided not to stick with one color here and mix matched the skirt and top just to spice it up a bit.  I freaking love fri.day shoes!  These new shoes made by fri.day are available now at Collabor88!  Sexy and sleek and goes just perfect with this outfit.

Belleza came out with a new skin just recently called Nina.  It’s gorgeous.  So gorgeous I haven’t taken it off in like a month and if you know me I change skins every other day.  I would definitely recommend trying this one on because I’m pretty sure you’re going to walk away with more than just the demo, hehe!

And yayayayayayay Magika released a couple of new hairs and this one is so my favorite because it reminds me of my hair in RL!

I hope everyone is doing just fabulous!  See you soon for another post!

❤ Dani
