It’s the right kind of weather for a little outdoors.

Aria Kuro LB 049

It’s a second post today.  I am trying to do a little catch up while I have some time before rushing off to meet some friends for dinner to show you some of the awesome stuff that you can find right now at current events.  The Deva mini living set by [ARIA] is currently at this round of Uber.  The rich colors of the pieces certainly meet the expectations of the theme spice.  The lotus candles, the tables and sofa all come with texture change options.

Next are the sun chairs with well over ten sitting animations that Kuro will have available tomorrow for Lazy Sunday. There a total of five chairs, the only color not shown is the blue.

The cypress oaks are from Little Branch and can be found at the current round of The Cosmopolitan Room.  I love the option of having all four seasons with just a few clicks.

You can find all the information below.

Shoes can set you on the right path.

21Shoe 037

It’s almost that time again ladies where you can grab some fabulous shoes for the price of one.   The 21Shoe event is every month on the 21st and only for 24 hours can you buy two pairs of exclusive shoes from some of the established shoe creators in Second Life.  I’m showing two pairs from different designers that are participating this month.  The first picture are the pumps from G&D that are made to fit the Maitreya mesh body, the Slink high feet and The Mesh Project body.

This second pair denim heels is made by KC Couture and has been made to fit the Maitreya mesh body, Slink high feet and the Belleza mesh body.  If you want to see the other shoes for this month, check out the 21Shoe  website where the pictures of the shoes are being added daily.   If you want to stay informed about the event and get some great gifts as well, there is a group in-world you can join for a small fee.  This month’s gift is 12 exclusive fashion poses courtesy of Thirty Loop Animations.

The last thing I want to mention is this brick path set by Jian that she is releasing tomorrow for 25L Tuesday. Seriously, that’s a steal!   The brick path is low impact, and has 26 pieces and 12 texture options that can be changed either piece by piece or to all paths of this set by one click.   After tomorrow the price will go up, so make sure you grab it.

21Shoe is right around the corner in a few days with some more fabulous shoes this month. For those of you who may not be familiar with this event, it is a monthly event where  you can get exclusive shoes never to be sold again. What makes it even more exciting is that you get two for the price of one.  I’m showing the “Los Angeles” shoes from Essenz that are made to fit the Slink and Maitreya high feet.

The shoes are yellow and peach and will also come with a HUD to change the sole and metal colors.  Make sure to check out the website to see the other great shoes that will be available only on the one day of the event, which is always on the 21st of the month.   Plus if you join the group you can get all the news and also group gifts.   All the shoes can be purchased at the store location for those participating in this round.

Shoes 097

I am also featuring these new mesh sunflower field plants from Little Branch that you can find at this month’s Liaisaon Collaborative.  They are super realistic and great for photos and doing up your landscape.   I’m am wearing this lotus headband also from Little Branch, that if you click brings up the menu to change colors.  You can find it tomorrow at the newest round of Shiny Shabby.

I am also wearing this nicely made blouse and skirt from NYU that is part of the Wayward Hunt that just started.  The swing from Pixel Mode has several poses and is also a gift for the Wayward Hunt. Lots of great stuff from some of the very well known creators in SecondLife.

Happy shopping and hunting!

Pumpkin Patch

“Things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ~ Marilyn Monroe “

Pumpkin Patch

The last few weeks have been a little up and down for me and a large part is my own fault for allowing circumstances beyond my control to negatively get the better of me.  Though over the weekend I had a bit of an epiphany and accepted the circumstances in the best way possible by making a choice to let nature take its own course.   My seventy plus year old grandmother often reminds me that sometimes you have to let one door close to allow another to open.  Since she’s still kicking up a storm I guess she knows what she’s saying.

Feeling a bit of the tension now leaving me I found myself wanting to bring out little me, because she makes me laugh at myself.  I picked up these pumpkins during a 25L Tuesday, which I might add this list is mostly role-play items.  I have always loved the idea of a pumpkin patch and unfortunately here in my part of the world you only find them in the yard of a few churches who decide to sell pumpkins to raise funds.  Just not the same thing and it’s a good thing I’m in Second Life, because I’m definitely not wearing mommy clothes for such a place.

[Circa] Living/Z is for…(challenge)

Snapshot_024

Today I am finishing off the Alphabet Challenge with this zebra cream cropped blouse from Vive Nine and zebra sunglasses from Gabriel that were part of the swagbag gift from the Hollywood event that happened several months ago.   The challenge has been fun and I really enjoyed getting to dig into my inventory.    With this outfit I am also wearing a “Serendipity” diamond ball ring from [Circa] Living that is available as a gacha item at The Monochromatic Fair that runs until May 2, 2014.   There are 18 rings to win, with 8 being rare colors.

Snapshot_0063

I am also showing off this excellent “Charlotte Bay” room set from [Circa] Living that you can also find at The Monochromatic Fair.  There are single and couple animations in the sofa swing and sit-lay single animations in the sofa, with 8 blue textures you can choose from to complement your taste and decor.

Snapshot_0266

The retro chairs also give you several options of fabrics and sit animations.  It is a very detailed and well designed set.  The coffee table has three wood colors that you can change on touch.   The rest of the pieces in the set really fit so well in any room.  I added a few pieces like the glass bowl and vase with flowers and books in the corner crates to finish the room.

N is for … (challenge)

“Daisies are like sunshine to the ground” ~ Drew Barrymore

Daisys 1

My second post for today is for the alphabet challenge and today’s letter is “N” and I am featuring this  “Blooming Daisies” pose from Nani that I got in a hunt.   I have several other poses form this store, except this is the one I liked most for today’s post.

Snapshot_006

Actually, the other poses were mostly couple ones and well I have a bit of a problem as I am missing the other person that makes the couple.

Snapshot_009

I must confess that I purchased this daisy field off market place as I didn’t have one in my overstocked inventory.   Though this pose just called for a whole daisy field and for 99L it was worth getting for these pictures.   While I’m confessing, I might as well tell that I derendered my neighbors whole house along with furniture to ensure it wouldn’t show in the background.   Then with just a change in angle, all that work was for naught as it was completely out of view.

St. Patrick Goodies…

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way –
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
~Author Unknown

Snapshot_003

I remember growing up that St. Patrick’s always signified wearing green, otherwise, we would get pinched by someone.  My Google search about why pinching was done revealed that wearing green would make you invisible to the Leprechauns and the pinching is a reminder to warn you.   This seems to be more of an American thing?

Snapshot_007

The holiday is right around the corner and Aphrodite Shops has released some fun things to celebrate St. Patrick’s — like this Shamrock Pub, which is excellent for role-playing.   It’s an easy set up with a rezzer that allows you to position the bar and stools exactly where you want it or move it around as necessary.  The bar dispenses drinks.  To create the whole atmosphere of a pub, there is an option to add-on a barrel table and with stools, which you can see in the background in the first picture towards the windows.

While I didn’t use this buffet table full of yummy St. Patrick treats in the pub.  It certainly can be used in whole as shown for the pub, your own parties or you can always use only the foods you want for your own table settings.   Some of the treats you get in this buffet is pizza cones or pizza in a cute shamrock shape,  fondue, cake, cookies and drinks.

Snapshot_010

However, if you want a more intimate setting then try the romantic table for two.   This would be a wonderful way to surprise that special someone in your life.  The table rezzes food from a menu, from starters to desserts. This setting also comes with a limited edition of one of the most expensive champagnes in the world.  🙂
