Thoughts unguarded

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

Goodbye weekend.  I didn’t anticipate making a second post, but as I’m organizing my thoughts and posts for this coming week it seemed like something to do.  I am showcasing the light set from DRD’s Shadowbox Series. The set contains six pieces of bathroom decor. Now if you’re not familiar with the Shadowbox subscriber boxes, please visit their web site to learn more about it as each box contains a light and dark set.  The dark set this month is a little more than my brain can handle, so you might have to peruse the Flickr stream to get a look at the items in that set.

The couch with pillow decor is by [ zerkalo ], which is an older release that is discounted for the Le Six Event.  The table and items on it are newer items that were previously release and can now be found at the main store.

I’m also featuring the bra and panties that I’m wearing by VoluptasVirtualis, which are at this round of Kinky Monthly. There are six colors available for you to choose from, so visit the event to get your kinky on.

Have a great one!

The Secluded House

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home10 Comments

I should probably mention that if I suddenly go missing for a few days it’s probably due to a loss of power as most of you know I’m in Florida and we have an approaching hurricane.  To say the least things have been and are a little crazy lately as most of our local stores are short on supplies and no gas to be found at any of the gas stations.  I’m staying put for the time being even though we expect to get pummeled when it makes landfall and travels up the state. While precautions have been made I’ve adopted the motto.. “What will be, will be.”

In the meantime I get to continue to show you more wonderful stuff around the grid for home and garden.  Several days ago I gave you a glimpse of the “The Secluded House” decor by 22769 that is available at the Arcade, and so today I am showcasing it on it’s own.  It’s a really amazing set that can be fully appreciated when you have advanced lighting on, especially when it comes to the portrait on the wall.  I was lucky enough to get this shot in to show how the frame looks with the lighting on, because without light it is a totally different picture.  You can see the fantastic details and the quality of the textures on the furniture even in this dark photo.

Also included in this picture is once again the upright piano in the light version set of the Series 01 by DRD.  It’s not available for purchase on its own, so please visit my post from yesterday, “Timeless aging“ to get the full details on how you can buy this item.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Timeless aging

On By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home, Landscaping10 Comments

If you’re familiar with Death Row Designs, that is also known as DRD, then you know the quality and the overall awesome creativity they are known for.  They recently introduced their new concept; the Shadow Box, a monthly subscription box that has a bit of mystery to it. Something new and unknown once a month, with a bonus reward if you purchase every box in the series, which is 6 months.

I’m going to link you to the Death Row Designs website where you can learn all about this new subscription box and how to subscribe. You will not be at all disappointed if you do.

Just opening the box is an amazing experience! You click the nicely wrapped box tied with rope, which sets it to start animating to unwrap itself and as the paper and rope fall to the side a beautiful standing jewelry box is revealed that also animates opening its doors on the side and top and you automatically receive two folders containing the light and dark sets of the series.

I’m showing the items in the light version set. As you can see they are remarkably well done.  The sofa and chair have sit animations as well as the piano chair with objects having a land impact that range from 2 to 18.

Enjoy!

It’s a quickie with this post as I’m going to let you peruse credits to see where all this stuff is from.  It’s a mixture of fashion and decor items from all over the grid.

Have a great one!

A beautiful romance

Morning everyone!  It’s a new round at Cosmopolitan and as usual lots of variety to be found.  I’m wearing a dress by Hilly Haalan, which is great for this summer heat as wearing anything tight in this heat is just unbearable. Yesterday was really hot with a heat index of 102 Fahrenheit… it was a scorcher.

The other items I’m featuring from this round is the swing decor in the corner by Sources. It’s available in a few colors and the planter by Chez Moi, which is part of their outdoor bed set at the event.  I’ll be showing the bed in another post soon to come.  I’m also using a pose by Di’s Opera that is available at Cosmo as well.  The front side braided hair is by Tetra and is one of three new hairstyles she has at Hair Fair.  

The bronze star wind rose decor on the wall is by Blue Sky, and it’s available at Summerfest.

The last items that I want to mention is the garden nook set by DRD, which is a new sponsor and I’m super elated to be blogging for them.  I’m featuring their garden nook set available now at Shiny Shabby.  The set includes the fountain, table and chairs and the flower bucket on top.  DRD is also having a summer sale that you definitely do not want to miss. The sale is going from today to June 27th, and it’s 40% off store wide and 70% on select items that are moving to marketplace and more.  You can view the creators Flickr here to get more details.

Have a splendid Saturday!

I mentioned in my last post that I had decorated a whole cottage with all Christmas decor.  It was mainly to relax and get my mind off other things and also because I didn’t want to leave things unpacked without at least looking at them even if I didn’t get around to using. Today I thought to show it with several photos, plus it helps to have a visual for any future use.

012-full-room-view-side-1

For the most part they are items received as Christmas Gifts at ongoing events, advents, hunts, group or subscriber gifts.  I will list the sources below under credits, though not individually as it would take a lot of time of which I don’t have.

013-full-room-view-side-2

I hope everyone is enjoying the spirit of the holidays.  Also, unrelated to this post. I forgot to mention in my “Tidings of Comfort & Joy” blog post on Wednesday, the free Christmas gift by eXxEsS.  The hair shown in that post with Christmas baubles on each side is this year’s holiday gift.  You can take a peek here and find it the main store.

029

A few things to note. All the gifts by the La Galleria are for being a subscriber and most of them should still be available if you sign up at the landing point and click the history to grab the weekly note cards to see where the gifts are located.

003-1

The gifts at the arcade if you didn’t notice were under the huge Christmas tree right in the middle of the arcade.

008

Unfortunately, the Chapter Four event is over and you missed out if you didn’t grab them before the event was over. Most of the events and hunts listed are over at the end of the month. The advent gifts for this year’s KittyCatS are all still available just by clicking each day.  The gifts at Midwinter Fair are available without needing group space at the event until December 31st. Plus make sure you check out all the other wonderful stuff at the event as it has some great home and garden as well as great fashion too though it’s more fantasy related.

036

There is quite a few pieces by [CIRCA], which are part of their Holiday Advent Tree. You do have to join a free group in-world and items cost from $1-$75 lindens and some at $0 lindens. Each day items are added and kept circulating for 3 days. I didn’t receive these items until a few days ago so this is short notice as I mentioned in my post yesterday, but the gifts from days 8-24 will still be available starting tomorrow as the advent tree for those days will be opened again.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and if you want to know about anything specifically pictured, feel free to ask me.

Have a great one!

Nostalgia

circa-001

This year has been a bit busier than what I remember it being previous years. I know in large it’s due to taking on more blogging commitments and I recognize that simply from the fact that I have yet to open a quarter of my arcade items that were purchased and not given to me as a blogger package.  I really have no problem with it. If I didn’t enjoy this I simply wouldn’t do it.

I also have not had time to unpack some of the advent or hunt gifts I find as I am always on the lookout for home and garden decor.  I find hunts are sometimes one of the best sources for me finding more one of a kind items or the unusual or even home decor stores I wasn’t aware of.

005

So last night I decorated a whole cottage with a bunch of Christmas decor mostly from decor items received from hunts, advent and group gifts and maybe a few other pieces bought or given through a blogger pack.  It gave me a feeling of nostalgia and a small dose of guilt of not doing it sooner.

Today I’m showcasing a new hair style by Tukinowaguma that’s available at Tres Chic. It’s a sweet and stylish updo that’s perfect for those holiday parties as is the Antonina dress by Fame Femme, that has a fun bow going down the open back that adds a little sexiness to the dress.  Both of these items can be found in different colors at the event.

The decor being featured is by [CIRCA], which are items in their Holiday Advent Tree. There is a group that you need to join, it’s the [CIRCA] Living – Christmas Advents (in-world) and it’s free to new members.  Each day items have been added to the squares on the wall tree near the inside entrance. Items do cost from $1 – $75 lindens and some even at $0 lindens.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get these items until a couple of days ago, so it’s a bit of a short notice and hopefully she will leave them out a bit longer as the group will be closing the Eve of Dec. 24th.  The wall strip art in red plaid is  available currently at the Midwinter Fair.

Edited: A note on the advent for [CIRCA].  The creator will be opening the advent for days 8-24 on December 24th, so you will still have time to grab anything you like from those days.

Have a fabulous Wednesday Thursday!

Today I’m featuring a pop corky game by THOR that is available at the main store. It makes for a good Christmas gift for those who enjoy playing games. I included some information below credits on how to use this game.  Not pictured here is a brick wall that serves as a background that is part of the set.

Now if you enjoy the hunting in Second Life, then you should go visit DRD to complete the Krampus Hunt where you get all sorts of Christmas goodies. Though you must be a group member to participate, but it’s free to join.

I’m unable to focus as clearly as I would like to type more than just a few words. Thankfully, I had all the credits completely done so today I will leave you with a few words of saying I’m wearing fashion that can be found at On9 and almost all the decor is by Aphrodite Shops and can be found at Tres Chic.

Have a great Wednesday!
