Hello lovecups!

Hey hey, Artifex here—reporting live from my cozy little snowed-in cave (aka my home)! ❄️ Just wanted to share my latest blog post in the hopes it’ll make you smile, warm up your heart, and maybe even get you dreaming of sunshine and spring days. Okay, okay, it’s a bit of a stretch, but I had to give it a shot, right? 😆

So, let me tell you about SATO’s latest creation: the “ICE CAVE” backdrop pack. It is everything I’m feeling right now—majestic, detailed, and textured to perfection! Seriously, you’ll feel like you’re on an epic adventure, discovering lost artifacts, and hey, the chill isn’t so bad when you’re wrapped in this stunning scenery. Just look at it!

Now, no one’s braving the ice without the right gear, am I right? That’s why I’m rocking my SORUMIN “Puffer Jacket” to stay cozy, and the PARE “Aradia leggings and boots” to tackle the elements in style. Gotta be warm, but who says you can’t look fabulous while doing it? To kick it off, I’ve got my GUAPA “Victoria” skin, DOUX “Apple” hair, and a little pop of glam with REVERIE “Glazed Eyeshadow”. Ready to explore the Ice Cave? Let’s go! With these PKC “Brenda” earrings to light the way, every step is brighter!

✨ The fashion girlies have spoken: The gloom of winter is no excuse for boring outerwear. Whether you go with a bold print, a unique silhouette, an eye-catching color, or some combination of the three, a statement-making coat will pay dividends when you want to stand out and “pop” amid a sea of solid black puffer jackets (and I have several lol)

Whether the temps are dropping at home or you’re gearing up for a winter getaway, a great coat must keep you cozy and stylish in the chill. Find the one that speaks to you—because when you rock it, you own it! As always, all links and LMS will be listed below and I hope to see you out there exploring your own caves- wait..what? Anyway, stay classy and sassy!

Hello dear lovecups!

Today’s blog is super close to my heart, and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. The ocean and the incredible creatures that call it home are something I can’t stop thinking about. That’s why when my sponsor, SATO, dropped their latest backdrop pack for the BLUE EVENT MONTHLY, I just had to share it but tucked in it was a pack called —”Dirty Pier,” and it truly spoke to me on a deep level. SATO knows me too well!

Now, onto this post! I couldn’t resist diving into the edgier side of fashion while shining a light on that powerful (and yes, a bit grimy) “Dirty Pier” backdrop. I started with THE SKINNERY‘s “Taylor” skin, added some smudgy glam with MILANI’s “COPAS” eyeshadow, and while it looked gorgeous, I wanted to amp up the attitude. So, I threw on NO_MATCH’s “NO BAN” hair, REDGIRL’s “Offshoulder Tee” and “Rhys Boxers,” and topped it off with PURE POISON’s sparkly “Ballerina” nails and rings. The sparkle on those nails? Absolute perfection. And let’s not forget the tattoo—I’m obsessed with VEGAS TATTOO’s “The Seed” tattoo—it’s just edgy enough to make me feel tough but soft enough to wear with anything.

Don’t miss out—head over to SATO Blue Event and grab your pack today! I can’t wait to see what creative magic you come up with! As always, all links and LMS will be listed below! Stay classy, sassy and brassy!!

Happy New Year!

Alright, it may not be perfect but close enough, right? 😂 How’s everyone doing? As I reflect on this past year and some of the real-life moments that have come my way, it’s become pretty clear to me: the Higher Powers have a sense of humor, and I absolutely delight them! 😏 Also, I’m grinning from ear to ear thanks to the jaw-dropping backdrop SATO created for the 7 Day Sale “Enter My Darkness” — it’s like a masterpiece, rich with detail and elegance. Seriously, have you seen this pack?! Snag it today!!

Now, full disclosure: I’ve been feeling a bit of the seasonal slump (you know, the whole SAD thing), but let’s be real, it’s probably just because it’s freezing and we’ve had zero sunshine. 😬 I need my Vitamin D stat! But guess what’s been working wonders? SL and some retail therapy! Check out all these amazing goodies I’ve snagged!

Big shoutout to Blamage for the stunning, peek-a-boo sexy “Donda” top and leggings, and a huge thanks to ASTERIA for this cozy “Love” fur coat. It’s a match made in heaven with the “$RICH FATALE” “Koach” bag, the “Elaine” ankle boots from [Gos], and the super cute “NO DELIGHT” hair from no_match. Honestly, I think that name is a little off—because this hair is all kinds of delightful! 💁‍♀️

With GLAM AFFAIR’s “Astrid” skin and $RICH FATALE’s “KOACH TABBY” bag, I was almost all set… until I realized I needed the PKC “Melted” earrings. See? Sometimes the cure for the winter blues is a little retail therapy to make you feel amazing again!

Keep fighting the good fight, lovelies — we’ve got this! Spring is just around the corner. 🌸 As always, all the links and LM’s will be listed below, so stay fabulous, sassy, and keep those blues at bay! You’ve totally got this! 💖

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!

I’m so thrilled you’re all here to ring in the holiday cheer with me! This might be a short and sweet blog today since I’m out and about, but you know I give it my all—100%! So, how was your Yule? Did you get plenty of presents, delicious food, and laughter, all wrapped in love? I sure hope so!

Wishing you and everyone around you a holiday season filled with joy, love, and laughter. As we celebrate, let’s keep those who are struggling in our hearts, along with our furry friends who could use some extra care and kindness. Everyone deserves love and respect, and, remember, we’re all in this journey together. Now, let’s dive into this blog post, shall we?

First up—it’s a picture-perfect Christmas morning thanks to SATO and their gorgeous “Christmas Train” backdrop! Look at all those delightful details, right down to the sparkle of the wreath lights! Such a magical touch to an already lovely morning.

Keeping with the morning theme, I had to try the NEVE “refresh/renew” robe and socks along with STUDIO EXPOSURE “Allure” hair bun and bangs! I mean, don’t we all throw our hair up if we can right before starting a new day?

However, let me brag about this new skin from MOCCINO “Bia” in rosekiss, it has freckles! How adorable is that? Topping off this combo with “Bliss in a mug” from lilp and the “Makeawish” earrings from RAON and I am ready to chill, unwrap presents and munch!

But, like I said, i have to dash off again but as always all links and LMS will be listed below and have a safe and delightful Holiday! xoxo

Happy Yuletide, lovecups!

Just like devouring Cool Ranch Doritos, I can’t stop blogging—and tonight, I am so pumped to share this stunning backdrop from SATO! The “Champagne Christmas” backdrop pack for the Blue Event is EVERYTHING. It’s elegant, detailed, and so on point for the holiday season! Don’t walk—RUN (or strut!) to grab it before it’s gone!

Now, let’s talk about the cozy side of the holidays. Sure, the holiday season is full of glitz and glam, but it’s also about snuggling up by the Christmas tree in the most comfy, cozy clothes. Whether you’re rocking a loose sweater and over-the-knee socks or cute plaid PJs (like I’m showing off here), it’s all about that warm, fuzzy feeling.

Because let’s be real: Christmas isn’t about being out at wild parties all day—For some, it’s about curling up indoors and staying cozy while the winter chill happens outside. So, a HUGE shoutout to EPOCH for creating this adorable “Myla” set—sweater, joggers, and slippers all in one. It’s the perfect mix of warmth and style, and I just couldn’t resist. I’m living in it this season!

And what’s a chilly Winter Yule night without presents and hot cocoa, right? Thanks to ENAMOUR for their delicious “Santa’s Gingerbread Delight” mug (because what’s better than gingerbread?!), and to Sintiklia for their messy bun “Titania” updo, I’m all set to dive into my gift pile (courtesy of DaD) in serious holiday style.

Big love to my sponsor, SATO, and to you, my lovely followers! May this holiday season bring joy to you and yours. As always, you’ll find all the links and LMs below. Stay classy, stay sassy, and don’t forget to leave cookies out for Santa! xox
