In the dog house?

On By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

As I mentioned a few days ago I would be out of town from this weekend for about a week. I had hoped that maybe if time allowed that I would have taken pictures to carry me through, but that didn’t quite happen as I had hoped.  In any case I’ve also found that the internet is quite spotty here.

Saying all that just to say that I will be taking this week off from blogging, which is something I haven’t done in a long time.  Maybe it’s a good thing?  Anyways,  I wish everyone a fantastic weekend and week ahead.

For those interested in home & garden, the Home Show 2017, is accepting blogger applications here.

Fun at the drive-in diner

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, HomeLeave a comment

Getting in another post today to share with you the start of the Vintage Fair, plus it seems it’s a theme that has crossed over onto other events this month.  Participating at the Vintage Fair Event is [Tia], who brings a bit of nostalgic fun with her release of the Betty’s Diner Set.  The second picture gives you close up of some of the items from the set, which is the retro telephone booth with public phone, one of the signs of a few in the set, and the table with four color chairs and the items on all the tables. Fantastic set to give you a little taste of a by-gone era.

I’m also showing you a new release by unKindness, which is Lucky’s Drive-In Diner set at Collabor88. The set includes the larger pieces and the connected tables and drive-in menu signs.  It’s another fantastic set in my opinion.  Collabor88 runs from the 8th of the month to 6th of July and the Vintage Fair goes from 9th of June to the 25th of June. If you click on the logo for the event below the credits, it will take you directly to the web site where you can get all sort of other great information on the event and whose participating as well as the map of where each participant is located.

I have been wanting to try this method of using a frame on my photos and thought this was a good opportunity to try as it lends to the whole vintage look. It’s not something that I will do all the time, but might just try it again.

Have a fantastic one!

Happy Thursday!  I know some of you are ecstatic as its only one day closer to the weekend.  I’ll be traveling over the weekend and gone for the week so I am hoping that I can work on doing some pictures today and tomorrow so that I can just focus on writing out credits and posting the pictures.

Today I am showcasing items from the newly opened round of Cosmopolitan and then a few sponsors and it’s all about summer things.

As always everything shown is listed below the pictures under credits. I wish you all a fabulous day and a good start to the weekend!

Morning everyone! Today is a simple sort of post showcasing another home in the Builder’s Box subscription event.  This is a quarterly event with nothing but homes and skyboxes.  The pre-ordering for the next subscription will be July 15th so visit the website for more information, plus you can view the catalog of the homes in May.  The Daphne cottage is a one room home by Lagom, that has some lovely features like the wall in the top photo that cast some great light and shadows.

I’m also wearing the flower crown by Astralia, which is currently at Shiny Shabby. The crown comes with a HUD for changing the colors.  The cute dog next to me is from the Cheeky Chihuahuas gacha set by JIAN at the Arcade. This is the comfy blanket one and is a rare in the set.

Have a gorgeous day!

I will be brief as my mind is a bit scrambled today and it’s far better for me to be short than try to write something long and it make no sense. The decor that I’m featuring today is a mixture of items from  a few creators at the Arcade and Zen Creations along with a few pieces from other creators.

A big thank you to Julie for keeping me company while I created this scene this morning. Normally, like I’m sure most of us do we work alone in our platforms, so having the company from time to time is a pleasant diversion.

Enjoy the rest of the day!

I’m in a rather lethargic mood this afternoon and if I was inclined it be easy to crawl into bed and sleep the rest of the afternoon away.  Though I have some things I need to get done or rather started so it’s not really an option. Plus it would wreck additional havoc on my sleeping schedule and that’s pretty out of whack right now.

Today I’m showcasing this new bedroom set by [Tia] that is available at FaMESHed. The weathered vintage white set is super lovely and it can be purchased as a set or by individual pieces. the flowers in the vase next to me are by Pixel Mode and are a gacha item at the Arcade.

I’m wearing a new hair style by Tableau Vivant, which is one of the styles in their Summer Hairplay gacha at the Arcade.  The night dress is by Sweet Kajira and it’s available at the newest round of We ❤ Role-Play.  It’s a medieval style dress, but it really passes as modern to me as it looks just like some of the night dresses my grandmother wears.  The pose is in the Heather Series by an lar [poses], that was at the just finished round of Tres Chic, so it should be available at the main store soon.

Until next time!

I didn’t anticipate doing a second post today, but it is looking like I will be going out of town on the weekend for a week and that means being on a laptop.  I don’t like using a laptop for SL as the screen is way too small for one thing. This just means that I will work extra hard the next few days to get some posts done and lined up so that all I have to do is press a few buttons and I’m done.

I’m showcasing a mixture of summer fashion and some fun decor, so take a peek at credits for everything shown.

It’s kind of hard to be cheerful when you go to bed hearing of the terror and tragedy that has struck in London and wake up and knowing it wasn’t a bad dream.  Today I will just leave it here and send my thoughts and prayers to victims and their families and all the British people.

At the lake house

Happy Saturday! I hope it’s a good day for those who have already been up and and about for a while.  I’ve been up a while too and had a traditional Mexican soup for breakfast.  I’ve spoken of this soup called menudo before as it’s a favorite of many family members that it has become a tradition to eat it on Christmas morning. Though it can be eaten at anytime and you can usually find all the ingredients at most grocery stores today or at these Latin stores where they sell Mexican products and fresh food, in which you can also find it already made to serve.  Though when you have a great cook like my mom our experience of tasting the food at places like this has been it’s pretty watered down. Though, don’t let that be a discouragement as it’s still pretty decent and it can be made super hot depending on how much red child peppers is put in it.

Anyways, my breakfast meal was definitely not what I set out to talk about this morning.  It’s all about the arcade right now with some other decor I’m showcasing in this picture.  I won’t go into complete details about everything shown, but will give some small insight.  22769 has brought us another beautiful set with their Lake House gacha at the Arcade. You can find the key to the gacha here.  It gives you a little detail on the whole set as well.  I particularly like the openness of the rare house and the whole wraparound feel to it, but all the pieces in the set are fantastically done and go well in almost any decor setting.

Soy is another creator at the Arcade and they bring us the Dream Aquarium gacha. The fish tank is one of the rares of two in the set that also includes eighteen commons.  The fabulous feature to this gacha is that the fishes have a realistic swimming system that works with the rare fish tank that also has some built in feature with lighting and sound to give you that realistic feel.

Then last I am showcasing items by Serenity Style that are at the main store and also at an event. The antique dolls are from the Emma Antique Doll Collection and are now at the main store. I really like these dolls as they bring up happy memories of dolls my grandmother used to collect and had around her home.  Check out the gacha key here, but definitely visit the store to check the rest of her awesome work.

The other gacha set by this same creator is the Home Stuffs gacha set at Shiny Shabby currently.  I’m only showing the pitcher, pile of dishes and basket of pillows from the set, so take a look at the key here so you know what else you can get if you play the machine.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!!

It's a messy kind of day

On By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Gacha, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

The day has shown itself to be somewhat messy literally already, but it’s the start of the weekend and I am going to enjoy it to the fullest even if I have somewhat of a busy day tomorrow.

Today I’m showcasing items from [Tia], who has this wonderful clock-maker desk and chair set at Whimsical that ends tomorrow and then you can find it at the main store.  The detail and quality of her items are amazing and she’s really doing some great new things.  I have a bedroom set that I’ll be showing in the next days.

Then I’m also showcasing a new hair release by [Ink], which is a common in their messy hair gacha at the Arcade.  You can find the gacha key here to see the rest of the hairs in the gacha set.  The other items shown today are by Plastik, from their Vindeluna gacha at the Arcade as well.  These are such beautiful decor pieces that I will no doubt use again, but if you want to take a look at the rest of the set take a look here.

Enjoy the rest of this day!
