Stay with me

It’s a short and sweet one this morning as I’m going out the door as soon as I get this posted. I’m showcasing the ‘Stay with me’ gacha by Ionic at The Chapter Four. It’s a lovely set starting with the industrial house, which is the rare and not all pieces are being shown.

Have a great one today!!

Lazy Sunday

It’s definitely beach weather here with the sun shining and just the right amount of breeze to make it a lovely day except there’s not one close by and I’m not in the mood for a long drive.  I used to love to drive and for most of my career life I traveled at minimum 45 miles each way to work and several days of the week that same amount of time driving between two cities for meetings. It was time where I did a lot of my thinking and planning or on many occasions where I just breathed.

Not so much driving these days and I’ll take the passenger side of the vehicle any day for long drives. Even though there is no beach nearby it’s lovely weather to just relax today, but we’ll see what the rest of the day brings.

As for the scene I’m showing I am wearing a top and skirt from Scandalize that is in this round of Cosmopolitan and the anklet is by Naminoke, which is part of their gacha set at Lootbox.  The square nails are by Empire and these come in short, medium and long sizes and also in different styles, so go check them out at the main store.  The last item being featured is the vintage fan by NYU, which can also be found at Lootbox in other colors. I did a close up below to show the smaller items a bit closer and as always the remaining items shown are detailed below in credits.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Keep calm & sing in the rain

Not much rain here now, though that will come soon enough and we will wish for the rain to go away.  I love rain and even thunderstorms.  I just don’t like to be driving in either.

This post is just to show some more home decor and some fashion.  The April decor is by Dreamscapes Art Gallery and will be released on April 1st for the debut of Enmeshed Monthly.  This another subscription box event, so I encourage you to visit the Enmeshed Monthly website to get more information. The outfit is all by [ Have Unequal ] and available in several colors. You can this at the current round of Tres Chic. The knee boots is by N-Core and they are available at Shoetopia.  You can find these in ankle, knew or thigh high.

Enjoy the rest of what’s left of today!

There’s no other like you

Today has really been a lazy Sunday and I’ve not done much of anything except bake brownies, blog, text with a friend and I took an hour nap.

Anyways, hope your day has been just as easy. With this post I am showcasing items from the new round of On9, that just began a few days ago on the 9th and ends on the 28th. The Moonsoul swimsuit by [Aleutia] is the bikini top and bottom that comes with a HUD that has 30 color options for main and strap parts.

The Scarlet tattoo by Nanika comes in a black, white and henna version and it’s also at On9. The shoes are by Empire and is available at Chapter Four.  As always with all Empire shoes, it also comes with HUD with many color options.

My decor is a combination, but the main pieces are by unKindness in collaboration with Ariskea. The solace set is available at this round of Collabor88 and is made up of the door nook, the seating, table and plant. The fruit dolls decor is gacha items by Les Sucreries de Fairy and at On9. The tulips are also gacha items by Bee Designs also at On9 and the last item is the cake by Ionic, that is part of the Spirit gacha set that I showed a day or so ago.

Have a great one!

I figured since morning will come too quick here in a few hours and I will be a bit cranky after only a bit of hours of sleep that I might as well post this now and get it out of the way.

I’m showcasing Ionic’s new gacha at The Chapter Four event called the Spirit Gacha.  It’s got some cute artistic items as well as other adorable decor items that are all detailed below.  The one thing that I want to point out is that I heavily modded the curtains, so the actual version is just two panels and not four as shown.

Have a great Friday!!

Home built with love and dreams

galland-006ps

This luxurious home is a new release called “The Naples” by Galland Homes. This Mediterranean beauty has a land impact of 227 if you use the ultimate version with the mesh clay roof or you can choose the standard 183 land impact version with a flat plane roof.

010ps

I will let the pictures do the talking, but warn you that you will need at least a 4096 space to put this home on.  This home is very typical to the homes you will find in some of the more luxurious neighborhoods in the gulf, southwest and eastern parts of Florida that I opted to decor the outside with that in mind.  picmonkey-collage

This is a home that really dictates you take a visit and have a walk through.

Have a great one!

Happy Saturday! The credits were way longer than I thought, even with having much of the information it still takes time to sort it out and insert all the links and everything else that goes along with making a blog post.  Though I’m in a cheerful good mood today so let me share what I’m showing today.

I’ll start with what I’m wearing.  The Valery Skin is a new release by Insol and it’s available at Tres Chic.  I wasn’t familiar with this skin creator, so it was nice to try it out and was rather pleased with the skin tones and easy to use applier system. I’m wearing the tan version of the skin, but you can find an additional five tones (peach, miilk, honey, creme and cinnamon) as well.

011

The pulled back hairstyle called Alanis is by Opale and available in 9 different color sets also at Tres Chic. The lovely necklace is available in a black, silver or gold pack.  The cute dress with open shoulders is by Kaithleen’s and you’ll find it in a range of colors, at least 15 if not more.  Then I’m wearing one of the new releases by Empire, which are the Tithonia that are available at this round of Kustom9.  As always with Empire shoes, you get a 12-color hud that gives you quite a few options.  My last picture gives you a close up of the necklace and hair.

009ps

The last items being showcased are all the decor items. The first is the rustic Whimsical Light set by [Merak], available at Shiny Shabby.  The candle in the vintage lamp light can be turned on and off. The painted tree comes in two versions, showing the green base, the other not show is silver. The rustic vase also in two versions, shown is green base as well and the other not shown is red. They can all be purchased separately or in a discounted pack.

I’m showing rugs from Bee Designs, and it’s part of their Haven Tree House Gacha out now at Shiny Shabby.  Other items from this same creator are items from their Bella Gacha set at Lost & Found. The two frames above the bed, the suitcases on the bed and decor boxes on the chair.  The small golden table that holds the teal lamp is by I[BDKX]I-//- and is available at On9, which is open for another couple or so days. The lounge type chair is by Sources and at Cosmopolitan.  You can change the texture of both the chair and the blanket.

That’s all for today. It’s time for me to grab some lunch before I start on getting this posted to Flickr.

Nothing says home like the smell of baking

ionic-005ps1

There was a time that I really enjoyed baking and did a lot of it as I always loved having some coffee dessert on hand for family and friends when they visited, even though I didn’t drink coffee myself.  I still enjoy it even if I bake mostly for a holiday or a special occasion these days. When I moved it was an opportunity to go through the the collection of baking pans, measurement cup sets, gadgets and tools that I acquired over the years.  I downsized considerably.

It’s no different here in Second Life, where I’ve collected a lot of kitchen ware over the years. I’m just not ready to downsize here just yet.  It’s all this wonderful realistic pieces of home goods, baking ware and gadgets that makes our kitchens come to life. I’m not disappointed with the newest releases by Ionic and Serenity Style.  I mixed both with some old gacha favorites to put this kitchen scene together. There’s just too many pieces to reference, but all items used are mentioned below.

I’m also featuring a new hair release by eXxEsS called Citron, which is a long hair style even if you can’t see the back. It includes the new “Breeze” technology that animates the hair and a texture HUD that has 56-single tone hair colors. The lovely dress with a lace pattern is from Noche and it’s available in several colors at The Liaison Collaborative. Make sure to go check out this event, it’s one of the best for home, garden, fashion and a whole lot more.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, night or whatever it is for you right now.
