I was in a bit of a lazy mood last night preferring to go out and enjoy Second Life for once instead of trying to get my blogs for this week prepared.  I did manage to do a couple of photos to get my week started.

I’m simply featuring this group gift by MoDANNA, which is the dress that I am wearing.  If you’re not familiar with the store, it is a mesh apparel store that also does clothing with the use of appliers for most bodies and also using the omega system.   The group is free to join and every month you get a free and exclusive group gift.

Enjoy this fabulous day!

Decor 0022

I’m using my iPad to get this post published as I don’t have access to my computer at the moment, so here’s hoping it goes without issue.

Just when I thought that there was nothing more for me to show of Fall/Autumn seasonal stuff I get these new decor items that are available at the Trick or Treat Event that runs only until November 1st. It’s an assortment of items, so check out the credits below.

I’m also wearing leather patch leggings by MoDANNA as part of the [Trenet Collection] that are available now at Sad November in several colors.  The shoes are from Stitched and are at the Trick or Treat event.

Outdoor 001

There are two events coming our way soon.  The Trick or Treat Event is a very short event and will be held at The Shopping District from October 29 and runs only until November 1st.  I’ll be showing some previews from here to then starting with this midnight cat tattoo by Passion Tattoos.  It comes with most of the known appliers like Omega, Maitreya, Slink Physique, TMP as well as classic tattoo layers. It comes in light, medium and dark ink and I’m wearing the medium ink.

The next event is the second edition of Sad November that begins November 1st and will run until the 21st.   I’m wearing the military style mesh jacket by MoDANNA that will be available in several colors.  Aside from the jacket, there is a skirt, leggings and cardigan also in several colors to choose from.  I hope to show you some in the next few days.

The fierce protector

Mine 004

It’s not very common for me to wear coats in this fashion in real life as we just don’t have that kind of weather for it.  Casual is the norm and even in the winter, which if you know the southern part of the state of Florida, it’s mildly less hot than at other times of the year.   It’s why dressing up in Second Life has its perks.  Alright. We just like playing dress up.

The rigged mesh coat is from MoDANNA and is currently available at Fashion Fair that runs only until the 15th of October.  There are 8 colors to choose from and it’s reasonably priced at $179 lindens.

The other thing that I want to share is that Apple Fall still has some fantastic discounted items at the main store.  The chairs in the background and the building are both $0 lindens currently at the store.  You really can’t beat that price!

It happens

Epia 016

This is a bit of  the rebellious nature I find myself in shining through in this post as I share with you some more items to be found during this month’s round of events.

Both the fringe suede top and skirt by MoDANNA are mesh and found at two different ongoing events right now.   There are several colors for both items and you will also find other styling pieces as well so that you can tailor fit your style.

The other item that I am featuring today is the workbench by (epia) available at this round of The Men’s Department.  While it has single and couple animations I decided to use a different pose as I wanted to make sure that the clothes were highlighted as well.

Music calmed the chaos

Jian 017

Showing a  few things today.  MoDANNA is participating in the Mesh Body Addicts Fair that opens on Saturday, August 1st with the [Beaufort Collection] high waist jeans.  The jeans come with all clothing layers, and appliers for a number of mesh bodies as well as the Omega system.

Next, is the console record player by Jian for this round of The Challenge.  The console top opens and closes with just a click and the record will also spin on touch.  Very low land impact at two.  You can find it at the store.

The ottoman I am leaning up against is from Dysfunctional Designs.  It’s been out a while, but I somehow missed blogging it.  It comes with several stripe texture options including a plain tintable one, which I am using here.  The leaning pose is one of about 9 sitting poses included.

The remaining items I have blogged previously and are listed in the details below.
