I was privileged to be able to take some pictures with one of the loveliest bloggers on the grid, Nicandra Laval of The SL Fashionista. I first came to know Nic during Luna Jubilee’s color challenge, but since then we have had to get to know each other in different ways! One thing I appreciate about Nic is that she is very perceptive to people’s moods; she gets after me when I post things that look sad or unhappy and pesters me until I get happy again. Nic is always so complimentary of everyone’s different styles, but she has a delightful style of her own. Here she is in her own small home:

Nic likes to travel around the grid and find interesting places to take her pictures, so in order to showcase her properly I went in search of a new place. I found it at a sim aptly called 2304 RAIN, since it is truly a downpour no matter where you go. Another thing that Nic does regularly is feature items that are free or very low cost. I learned just how hard this is to do! For my own look I restricted myself to items I already own, or items that were free or under 100L.
Nic came prepared with her coat and boots, but I was very foolish in my footwear choice!

I had to add this picture just because it was funny, as if Nic is standing there saying “Seriously, Eliza, what a DORK!”:

It just goes to show you you don’t necessarily need faces to tell stories. We also had technical difficulties so we had to do a little photoshopping to get our last photo, but how I loved sharing smiles with Nic today.
