Gold Dust and Berry's Introspection Meme

Hey! After a while of not doing berry's memes mostly due to lack of time. I finally got back on the meme bandwagon and decided to do the introspection meme. I also have a new look I put together with the latest releases I've liked the most lately from Collabor 88 and Hucci's flawless shoes.




1.  Regardless of your current number, how old do you actually feel? – I am 28 years old and part of me feels about 50 years old and another one feels like a teenager hahaha. People have always told me even when I was little that I act and think like someone way older than my age and I think it’s because my dad was a great influence in my life and he was my best friend until he passed away. Yet another part of me, feels not ready at all to assume certain adult responsibilities and when I look at myself in the mirror I still feel 16.
2.   Which is worse, failing or never trying? – Oh never trying definitely. I don’t want regrets and wonder what would’ve happened if I had done something. I’d rather try, fail and then move on.
3.   If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently? –  I’m very pleased and happy with my life, but I would definitively spend more time with my loved ones.
4.  Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? – Both. I always over think and over analyze every move and decision I make on my life. I don’t want to make the wrong decision! And then of course I don’t want to screw it up once I do.
5.  Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? – A joyful simpleton, I’ve discovered that all I want is to have a calmed and happy life. I don’t want to be an intellectual tortured soul, I’ve moved on from that stage of my life lol.
6.   Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? – I normally don’t reach out to my friends a lot, especially in RL. I can spend months without seeing or not talking to them at all. But when it comes to stuff that matters, if they reach out to me because they’re depressed or going through something difficult, I will be there. And when we see each other after months, it’s as if we had seen each other the day before. Yeah I think I would like a friend like the kind of friend I am, except I would want them to call or message more haha.
7.  Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? – Oh yeah it really doesn’t matter at all. I was extremely upset and depressed after failing a very important test on law school for which I studied soooo much! I remember clearly that the professor that graded me, told me he gave me an excellent grade on research but that I didn’t pass. I was traumatized for months.
8.  At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? – This last year! And yes, this will be a cliché answer but I fell in love for the first time in my life (it only took 27 years) and this person is beyond wonderful.
9.  If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? – I don’t think I would. I would travel a lot though! and use that money to help my family.
10.If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? – Oh wow there’s a lot of people I would like to visit, my RL and SL friends, my family and of course the boyfriend.
11.What do you feel is the difference between being alive and truly living? – Being alive is just that: breathing and having a beating heart. Truly living is taking control of your life and giving it the direction you want. Being with the people that make you happy and doing the things that make you feel fulfilled.
12.  If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? – Making a mistake makes me feel like a failure. I know we all make mistakes, we are humans. Which is why I try, if I’m going to make a mistake hopefully it will be a small one and not one that will cost a lot to fix.
13.What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? – Nothing. I know people judge no matter what you do, there will always be someone that doesn’t agree with what you think or do. This is why I don’t let others rule my life. It affects me when they judge (not gonna lie) but I keep on doing what I believe it’s right.

14.If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? – Live life according to what you belief is right and do what makes you happy, don’t let others impose on you should do.

Mother Of Dragons

Hey all! So I've been meaning to post this for a while and it took me over a week to get it done, cause there was always something I wasn't pleased with until I finally got it as good as I wanted it to look. Obviously this image is based on the TV series Game Of Thrones. The dress made by Peqe for fantasy faire and the hair made by Monso for Wizading Faire inspired me to do this. I know I'm very late but I am very happy with the results and it was a very fun photo to make. 





Hope you guys like it!


P.S. Thanks to Vintage McMillan for helping me out with the amazing belt! And if you want to see the picture on a bigger size feel free to go to my flickr stream.

SL Style Hunter Turns 5!

Back in 2008 when I started this blog: Armidi was the shit, flexi was all the rage and every single shoe had an invisible prim. When my avatar was only 6 months old was when I decided to start this blog, I never thought I'd still be here posting 5 years later. With the first skin I bought ever in SL and merely the poses of my AO, a very clueless Lauryn Arado began to blog fashion, without having any knowledge about how to take a decent picture and the word photoshop was completely unknown. 

This is why for the 5th anniversary of this blog I decided to take a look back to all my clueless and photography fail moments; To laugh, to see how much SL has evolved, to appreciate how much I feel I have improved and just in general to ask myself: What the hell was I thinking when I thought that looked good or awesome?! hahaha


For the picture above I chose 5 pictures and looks I did for the blog back in 2008-2009 that made me just go "oh god what the hell was I thinking?". There's plenty more of those moments though hahaha, if you wanna have a good laugh feel free to scroll back!
