The other day I got a chance to visit the lovely and I mean quite lovely summer greenhouse addition that fellow blogger, but above that my good friend Cougar, added to her sim Lost Horizon. I was captivated by all the beautiful colors in the plants and flowers chosen, the fountain, seating arrangements and the well thought out plan of how she arranged it all. It was all just amazing… if and when she opens it up for public viewing you must pay a visit.
Another friend who taught me a thing or two about decorating always said look at things from every angle to ensure you get an amazing view from wherever you may be standing. I was not disappointed and as you can see I was stopped in my tracks when I caught sight of these delicious desserts. In my book another bonus for visiting. Who can pass up sweets? Plus she now she has me on the lookout for some of these desserts.
As for what I’m wearing is a new hairstyle by enVOGUE called Jacquelyn available at the main store. The top and skirt are by Una and it’s her participation at this round of Tres Chic, which has a Paris theme going. The shoes are also at this event and are by ChicChica. This cute pose is another great one by K&S Poses, which can be found at the main store.
Have a great start to your weekend.

I absolutely love this “Once Upon a Time – Vintage School” gacha set, a newly released set by THOR for this month’s round of Chapter Four. Everything pictured minus the attic building and some stack of books are part of the set. There is a total of 45 items with 18 mini-sets, 3 rare and 1 reward. The rares are the table, chair and the blackboard and they all have animations. My favorite piece is actually the spinning top toy as I have one of these in real life that my eldest sister gave me, because she knows I have a love for old stuff.
The rustic attic is by Pixel Mode and it is another great decor item at this round of The Liaison Collaborative and was just perfect for creating this school setting. It has a land impact of 18 and it has a texture change floor that can be accessed by clicking the door. Makes for a great one room home as well.
I’m also featuring the items that I am wearing. The hair is a relatively new release by enVOGUE called Giovanna and it’s available at the main store. The dress is another find at the Liaison Collaborative and it’s by Entice and available in several colors. The Oyster heels/boot type combo are by Empire and are currently at Uber. I can never say enough that I love the concept of paying a slightly higher price for a 12-color Hud that you get when you purchase a pair of shoes from this maker. Plus the ability to mix and match on the different sections of the shoe.
Last item is the pose used, which is part of the “With My Baby” series from K&S Poses. It’s actually a modded version, as the original has the child facing you as you have your hands extended towards him or her. I just didn’t want to be the whole center of attention in this picture so I just un-linked them and turned her around.
I also want to thank my sister PB for helping me out with this picture.

Having a little time and being better focused than I was yesterday due to a terrible sinus headache I took the time to sit back and relax and catch up on blogs first. I was delightfully engrossed reading some of the stories shared by fellow bloggers of memories, what they’re up to or just in general a small tidbit of real life they share. It made me smile and I’m glad that I took the time to read and comment, as often we get so caught up in our own stuff that we can bypass those simple things.
Today I am featuring some fashion and home decor. I’m wearing one of the latest hairs by enVOGUE, which can be found at the main store. Janelle is fitted and rigged mesh and available in 96 colors, root & ombre colors that can be changed via HUD. I’m wearing a blond color in the diversity pack, because it gives me the freedom to choose depending on what I want to be today. ha!.
I’m wearing a mesh top made for Maitreya by {le fil casse} +// Lucid, which is part of a gamer girl gacha. There is three rares and 18 commons, all in various colors and sayings. The pink mouth accessory, My Geek World, is by Les Sucreries de Fairy. This cute hilarious professor pug is by [Black Bantam], and it’s static, but an interactive holdable pet that speaks to you and your friends at random. All these three items can be found at the Geeks & Nerds event.
The last items being featured is the decor. The Star Wars inspired gacha set made up of the sofa, chair, ottoman, mobile and wall posters are by enMeshed. The mobile and adult sofa are the rare items.
I’m showing some pieces from a fireplace set by Dreamscapes Art Gallery, that can be found at the Twe12ve event. It’s the pumpkins and candles on the table near the window and the beautiful picture frame above the sofa. I didn’t have room for the fireplace, but the individual pieces worked great for this scene.

I am attempting to use my phone to post this morning. It’s not my usual method as I prefer a desktop for any computer use. Though I’m not home until this afternoon and wanted to get at least this portion done and post to Flickr later.
Today I’m wearing a new skin called Imani by Essences, made for the LeLutka mesh head. It comes in several tones…the tone worn is medium. The thick eyebrows is what I really like with this skin. The mesh hair I’m wearing is Thalia by enVOGUE and it’s at the main store. You will find it in a range of hair colors giving you plenty of options to choose from. Variety is a must these days. This hair has a long braid going down the back and with the hair pulled back in the front it’s easily workable for any outfit.
The dress is by Una and it’s a new release for Project Se7en and you’ll find it in a few colors such as pink, green and black to name some. As seen in the picture it gives your chest quite a boost, though I’m sure you’re not going to get any complaints on that.
Now to the decor. I’m happy to be blogging for Dreamscapes Art Gallery, a store that I’ve been familiar with since joining SL. It’s got some fantastic decor pieces, from small to large, to fill any room you decorate. It’s where you’ll find most of this Autumn decor I’m showing. The crates with pumpkins and apples. It’s apple season so just in time for some homemade apple bread.
There’s a few goodies also worth mentioning. The bushel of pumpkins next to me is a market place special for just under 40L. The pumpkins are texture change. The wreath and scarecrow are freebies if you are a member of the subscriber group for La Galleria. Check out her store while you’re there.
As soon as I am able to I will update this post with some of the missing landmarks.
I got so distracted decorating a skybox that I will be blogging soon that I forgot that I was also posting. Then I had to run an errand during and here it is early afternoon and just getting around to it. I can’t be the only one that loses track of time.
I’m wearing a new hairstyle by enVOGUE that is available at the main store. The Sabrina is rigged mesh and is available in 96 colors, root & ombre colors, and also an accessory that can be changed via HUD.
I’m wearing a romper by Wicca Wardrobe, which is still available at this current round of On9, which ends tomorrow. It’s available in several colors. The last item being featured are these shoes by N-Core. They are fairly new, having been released at a previous event and are now available at the main store. It’s made for the Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Venus, Isis, Freya) and Slink (Physique & Hourglass). It’s available in mix and match colors with loads of a girl’s best friend… diamonds! The diamonds are removable.
Edit: I forgot to credit and mention the skin and tattoo that I am wearing. My apologies as I didn’t double check that I had everything when I just copied and pasted from my note card.
The tattoo is called Ameli and it’s by Aurica Store and available at the main store. It’s available in black and white and made Maitreya, Slink, TMP and Omega.
The skin I am wearing is by Essences and it’s a gacha skin set at Kustom9. There are 12 skins total for the Imani skin, with 1o commons and 2 rare.
The Fall season is my favorite when it comes to weather as it’s always not so hot and muggy here in Florida and just about the right breeze. Though, I don’t get the changing of the leaves as much here in my real world, in Second Life, it’s one of best seasons to take photos due to all the rich colors. I’m in complete awe with some of the amazing photos people are creating that I see come across my Flickr stream. It definitely inspires me to want to go out and explore. I welcome any mention of sims that are worth visiting.
Today I am showcasing a couple of items that I am wearing. The first is a recent new hair release by enVOGUE. The Milly is rigged mesh and is an avant-garde hairstyle that has a classic bun style and pulled to the front in a braided tail. It’s modern and quite chic. This hairstyle is available in 96 colors, root colors and 16 ombre, which are easily accessible through a HUD. It’s available at the main store.
The next item featured today is the Miu shoes by N-Core, which are mesh body compatible {Xtreme Feet, Maitreya, The Mesh Project, Belleza and Slink}. Perfect ankle boots for this season that’s for sure to bring some cool day and nights ahead. There are 14 options available that can be purchased individually or as a fatpack. Currently available at Kustom9 until October 10th, then afterwards you can find them at the main store.
Hope you have a great start to an awesome weekend!

I might have mentioned in a previous post or two that I don’t watch a lot of television, especially in the last few years. Until now, the last time I tuned in to watch anything was the election debates. Recently, my niece introduced me to a few shows on Netflix, which have been entertaining and since there’s no commercials I have been on a binge watching a few shows at a time.
I just finished watching the first season of the series, “The Ranch,” and while not overly fond of all the cursing in the movie it kept me entertained enough to keep seeing it until the last show. The comedy follows the return of a struggling semi-pro football player, to his Colorado home to help run the family farm with his father and older brother. All played by familiar known names in the acting profession.
My pictures were not inspired necessarily from watching the movie itself. It was from the theme song, “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” originally performed by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. I remember hearing this song when I was growing up, and it made me smile as I thought of that long ago memory.
In the first picture is another wiener dog by JIAN, the Ducky PJs wanderer, which is a common in the Wonky Weenies gacha at the Arcade. The rest of the decor items also previously shown, are from the Hive’s American Countryside collection, and also available at this round of the Arcade.
The second picture was a just because and similar to an image that played with the theme song in the series.

I’m dragging a little today… so I’m way behind my own schedule. Today I am featuring several things, starting with these adorable wiener dogs by JIAN. It’s a second gacha set that will be available at the Arcade on September 1st. Showing only 2 dogs of the set, the naked and hot dog plus also showing the reward dog, which is the blue known as Habada the Pilot. There are 12 commons and 4 rares, with a selection of wanderer dogs or companion ones. All the pets include the 4 coat texture choices, resize, sound and animation menus. The reward dog includes both the companion and wanderer and you get the same features as the other dogs plus 7 plane color choices. Plus the dogs animates and barks as the plane hovers and propeller spins.
The scene is Sushi Monster food truck by Heart Homes, which is available at the new round of Creators Collection Box. The complete set comes with the tables, there are 46 animations total with 22 props and 2 sequences to make Sushi and Yakisoba. The Japanese lanterns are add-ons and available at the event as well.
I’m wearing the newest hairstyle known as the Ashley, by enVOGUE, available at the main store. The color I’m using is from the dark greys pack, but available in a variety of colors. The top is from Bender, it was available at the just passed On9 event, but you should be able to find it at the main store now. It also comes with a skirt, and in several colors.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
