Shake It Out...

"Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive
Your darkest moments
I can see no way
I can see no way...
And all of the ghouls
Come out to play
And every demon
Wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep
Some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn...
And I've been a fool
and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way
I can see no way...
I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is questioned
such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury
that horse in the ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn 
Shake it out shake it out
Shake it out shake it out
Ooh woaaah
Shake it out shake it out
Shake it out shake it out
Ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance
With a devil on your back
So shake it out...

Vibe..."Shake It Out" by Florence And The Machine...

No contest-one of my FAVORITE groups on the planet; I fell instantly in love with Florence Welch's voice the first moment I heard it years ago...I believe her to be our generation's "Janis Joplin." And much like F.A.T.M, I was instantly love sick over Rolland's (Vanguard) label. It's rare that someone gives us the HIGHEST of high fashion, but in a very wearable, accessible way. Rolland has done just that and I know there are even more amazing things to come. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and the blog this year, and to anyone who has taken time out of their busy lives to type my web address into their browser. I am preparing to go on a much needed vacation, and that includes a bit of a vacation from Second Life and blogging as well. But that's not to say that I won't find a moment during a late night or early morning to do a quick post.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, regardless of who or what you believe in.

Be safe, and I'll see you all next year...<3, SaV.

I Can't Stand The Rain...

"I can't stand the rain
Against my window...
Bringin' back sweet memories
Hey window pane
Do you remember...
How sweet it used to be?
When we was together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
It's just one sound
That I just can't stand
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringin' back sweet memories...
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Cause he's not here with me..."

Please Don't Break My Heart...

"All these stars out...
And these people know MY name
I can be so pretentious...
But he likes me all the same
And these lights are glowing
But he don't want none
He'd rather chill and hold me
Maybe he could be the one...
You want me to trust you
But how can I trust you
When I don't know
The first thing about that?
There's so many questions
And I learned my lesson
Messin' with my heart
And I just got it back...
I just wanna love you baby
I don't wanna waste no time
I wanna be the only one
Baby PLEASE don't break my heart..."

Extraterrestrial...

"You're so hypnotising
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
They say be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you...
You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You opened my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light...
Kiss me...k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your loving
Fill me with your poison
Take me...t-t-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction...
You're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial...

Addicted To Love...

"The lights are on

Your heart sweats

Another kiss...is all it takes
You can't sleep
You can't eat
There's no doubt...you're in deep
Your throat is tight
You can't breathe
Another kiss...is all you need
Ohh you like to think that
You're immune to the stuff
Oh yeah...
It's closer to the truth
To say you can't get enough
You're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love..."

Stronger...

"Let's get lost tonight
You can be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a f*ck
What they all say right?
Awesome the Christian
In Christian Dior CHANTKARE
Damn they don't make em' like this anymore
I ask cause I'm not sure:
Do anybody make REAL sh*t anymore...?"

                              

I've stated on numerous occasions, that I'm not a particularly trendy person. I'm a woman that values STAPLE pieces; garments that will look just as relevant and fresh today as they will several years from now. In my heart of hearts, I believe Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE to be the same way. Everything she produces has a classic refinement to it; her work is polished and quite possibly most importantly: CONSISTENT. She isn't trying to "keep up with the Jones'," she is one of the undisputed leaders of the SL fashion pack. Her work is always painfully flawless, and while her spring collection is full of amazing looks, this jacket from her "BERGMAN" ensemble is the stand-out. Made in a haunting steel grey shade; the power shoulders and tied waist add structure while the slightly flared hem at the hip provide a feminine twist. You'll dress this up with the sculpted skirt she includes with the look, but you'll also dress it down with a smart pair of shorts or even jeans. If you buy NOTHING else this season, you MUST invest in "BERGMAN." While there are many other great pieces available from other fashion houses right now, it's my humble, unsolicited opinion that Chantkare is simply STRONGER...

Teach Me...

"I just wanna be
Wherever you are
I just wanna know you're there
I just wanna see
Whatever you see
Cause I know you're not too shy to share
Nooo
Cause everywhere I go
And everyone I touch
What I already know
Is not enough
And no one's taught me quite like you
Nooo
Following my eyes
Searching for the real
Knowing that there's not much else
Tell me that you hear what I'm sayin'
Oooh I swear you know the very best way to:
Teach me
Train me
Guide me baby
Oooh only you can
Release the love inside me baby
I waited my turn and I'm ready to learn now..."
