Aria 002

I really planned to get this post done last night except I couldn’t get organized or focused enough to put my words together.  Today isn’t any better as I’m feeling a bit scattered and my mind is racing.

Life gets interesting like that sometimes.   I’m sure that I’m not the only one whose had days like this.

Today I’m featuring a few things and the first is this lounge set by [ARIA], that is currently at the newest round of FaMESHed.  The Libera set comes with two lounge chairs with texture change options for the fabric and wood and the other for the cushion and throw as well.  The table also has texture change option and the flower too.  It’s a nice set for a corner or for use with just individual pieces.

The other items that I am featuring are from [CIRCA], which are the Berry Mix Autumn wreath.  I like hanging wreaths in the home, especially during the holidays. To me it gives a feeling of warmth and brings that festive feeling into the home.  The area rugs are also from the same designer.  The beige is from the “Into the Forest” set that [CIRCA] has for the Autumn season and the rust is part of the “Harmony” set, that is a gift at the store for $1 linden.  I’ll be showing some more great Autumn stuff from this store in the next days.

The rest of the items are not new just well liked stuff that I keep in my inventory. Considering my inventory is once again bulging I kind of like a lot of things!

I’m working on it.  I am.  Soon.  Maybe.

ARIA 057

New round of N21 just opened a few days ago and [ARIA] is participating with the release of the Leonora two sitter sofa.  The sofa is a mid-century influenced design that comes with 6 choices for the velvet fabric, 3 wood shades for the wood portion and 10 choices for the cushion.   You can find it in both adult and pg version, copy and modify materials ready.

The rest of the items are pretty much from my inventory except the fireplace, which is a decor item currently available at Collabor88.

A getaway where you can smell autumn in the breeze

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping4 Comments

DaD -029-2

I’m trying out a new theme.  I loved the previous one except the lettering was quite small, so lets see how this one works.

It’s hard to believe that autumn is almost here.  Not that I get to see much of the autumn season down here in my part of southern Florida.  Everything stays green all year long, while many parts of the country burst into colors of orange, red and yellow.  I don’t get snow either.  It’s one of the nice things about my Second Life… that I can enjoy the autumn and winter season whenever I want.  Not to mention the joy of setting it up and decorating in the way that I would love having it in real life.

DaD Designs is releasing a new build.  The Woodstock Cottage is like the perfect home to get away to and enjoy the season.  The rich dark brick and wood tones that make up this house just creates that warm and cozy atmosphere. There is so much included with this build that makes it such a great build to have, not to mention bargain.  The cottage  comes with several add on’s, such as the stone path with round central plant bush.  Ivy with leaves blowing in the wind and climbing bougainvillea that come in three colors.  Not shown are the stone walls that come in 4 designs.  It has several ample sized rooms and I really appreciate the high ceiling walls with the wood beams.  The gothic style windows and doors is a nice feature as well.  You can find the cottage at 20% off during the Fantasy Collective event, where it will be released. The event runs from August 22nd to September 15th.

The other items that I want to point out are the hydrangea bushes by Jian.  Like most if not all of Jian’s landscape products, these bushes also come with the all seasons hud to change the texture and color of the plant leaves and flower by the season you want.  Jian had also recently released this birdy home petunia planter for 25L Tuesday, but I was not able to blog it in time.  It’s a cute decor item that comes with a robin.

DaD 033-2

I was in the middle of decorating when a box hit my inventory and I got these new fall items by Shutter Field.  It was labeled as decor so I didn’t hesitate in opening and instantly knew that I would use some of the items in this scene. They were just perfect for what I had in mind.  I love the pumpkin in the basket decor! That just screams autumn season to me. The other items include the fall letters, the autumn frame on the table and the box of plants on the window seal. You can get a head start on decorating for autumn with these decor items.

I’ve blogged this dining set by [ARIA] before on it’s release, but I think it’s a perfect table for the upcoming season.  Especially, with the red chairs, which is one of several colors with the texture change option, so completely adaptable for other seasons.

The sweet luxuries of having time

Aria 03

It used to be that taking long hot baths was just pretty common.  Something we did that was enjoyable and was a treat to ourselves.  It’s been quite a long time where I’ve indulged in this luxury.

The new round of FaMESHed is now open and [ARIA] has brought us a complete bathroom set.  It’s available in pg and adult and each comes with animations for singles and couples.  The set includes the bathtub, vanity, mirror, silk robe, towels hanging, toilet, soap dispenser, toothbrush holder and toilet paper.

The stool is Aria’s participation in the Mix Event and comes with 9 poses some with attachable props and with 8 texture change options.  It’s not meant for the bathroom, but I tested the animations and they work well enough to be used there.  In this day and age it won’t be strange for your guy to sit on the stool and drink coffee or work on the laptop while watching you take a soak. Just saying.

In the heat of the moment

Aria 070

New round of Uber and look what [ARIA] has brought us.  The Giada bedroom set is a mixture of modern and industrial and includes the bed, side table, drawer cabinet, hanging bulb light, the potted zamioculcas plants and book decor.  You get texture options with the bed, side table and drawer cabinet to personalize to your own taste.

You can grab this set in either PG or Adult version and both come with poses for single and couples with some attachable props as well.

I am a bit tolerant in my Second Life, because scattered clothes on the floor would drive me a little nuts in real life.  I’ll just pretend this was in the heat of the moment.

Living Set 008

I haven’t stepped outside just yet, but with the fierce light that is shining through the windows I can already tell it’s going to be another hot humid day.  Thank goodness for summer tanks tops and air conditioning!

Today I’m showing some lovely pieces of furniture that I was able to work in together to create this living room set up.  The classic modern sofa, tree stump coffee tables and the orchid plant are from [ARIA] for this round of Shiny Shabby.  The sofa and orchid plant have texture change options to customize to your liking.  This set is available in PG and Adult versions and both come with singles and couples animations, some come with attachable props.   You also can’t ask for more with a 10 land impact.

The rest of the items shown are all from [CIRCA] and are various pieces from two complete sets that are now available at the store.  The first set is the “Augusta” and it includes the turquoise vintage credenza that allows you to open the doors, which is a nice touch to allow you to store other items or just for that bit of realism that we sometimes might want.  The peacock wall art is also from this set.

The remaining pieces shown are from the “Savanna” full room set that come in tan color. The beige bean bag chair comes with 28 animations for both male and female.  Besides the plant stands, rugs and wall art, there is so much more to this set, so you’ll want to definitely check it out at the main store.

He’s a messy kind of guy

Kuro-Aria 003

I was slightly tempted to double log and bring in the male alt to feature one of the more pg versions of the poses in this adult furniture.  Though I work much faster just going alone at times.  It’s hard enough dressing one not to mention it’s a lot easier on my computer too.  I love wearing my mesh body, though I’m slightly put off with the fact it takes longer to dress these days.

Anyways, that’s a whole different conversation and a soap box kind of post that I’ll leave for a rainy day.  Instead let me talk about what I’m showing while I sit so modest in my red satin mesh corset lingerie by Blacklace.  I just got the updated version of this outfit that I never worn and thought perfect timing as I’m featuring adult items that just seemed to say wear it.

Kuro is participating in this round of ROMP with several office decor pieces that are available in PG or adult versions. It’s kind of neat that to use the desk you have to click on the key on the top drawer and a menu will pop up that allows you to rezz decor and to enjoy the animations all you have to do is sit on the desk decor you rezzed out.  The idea behind the rezzing menu is to give you some privacy and gives you the option to set it to group, everyone or just yourself.  You can find this set at a 30% discount throughout the event period.

You’re bound to get thirsty after the use of that furniture, so [ARIA] has you covered with the Lux bar cart that has wine decanter, glasses, cocktail shaker, coasters and a potted flower that comes with texture change options.  This bar cart can be found at this round of The Men’s Department and if you rather decorate the cart on your own, there is an empty version included as well.
