Enjoying the birds sing

On August 25, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, LandscapingLeave a comment

Doing a second post today as I’ve been trying to catch up a little in the last days I’ve been able to log. What I am showing is this delightful garden set by unKindness, which is available at this round of Collabor88. There’s so much you can do with this set, either indoors or outdoors and the pieces range from 1 land impact to 5 and benches have about 10 sitting animations. The other decor items being featured are the little birds chandelier and the twisted oak bird bath, which are new releases for Whimsical. These two come in a light or dark version.

Just in case you missed me in the picture… I’m right there on the ground enjoying the summer heat as the birds sing a melody. Only in Second Life can I really enjoy being outside in 80 and above degrees Fahrenheit weather. I’m wearing a boho top and denim skirt by [Lakshmi] available now at the ongoing round of On9. You have 3 more days to catch the great designs and savings at this event.

On Sunday I will be traveling and not sure how often or how good my internet will be to log in and blog. This means I have from today until Sunday when I leave to be able to get in as many posts done in both blogs to show some of the great things you can find at ongoing events.

Today I am featuring a few things from all over the grid. The first are these amazing peacocks by JIAN at Collabor88, which is celebrating their 5th birthday. It’s been only 3 days since they opened and trying to get in right now may prove to be a little difficult. The peacocks come in a worn, rezzable or static version, plus two texture options. Shown is the blue texture, the other is albino and all this for just $288L during the event only.

The wood bench is by Industry 7, available at the newest round of The Liaison Collaborative. Two versions, a wood or metal and each come with 13 female/male sitting animations and 6 couple. I need to point out that I am not using any of the sitting animations in the chair. This is due to the fact that I needed a pose that would show off the shoes and dress a bit better and the sits in the chair are more geared to wearing pants or dresses that are straight.

On9 opened its doors on August 9th and I’m wearing this lovely striped dress by Snowpaws, a women’s fashion store that has been around a long time. You will be able to find this original mesh dress in 5 options of the stripe and non kind.

The last item being featured are the shoes. On August 14th, “In Your Shoes” will open it’s doors and Oh lala! is participating with these heels called Popy. They are white with a color bow in front and in back with a ribbon that weaves around the heel and are made to fit the Slink high feet.

Your support of this event by buying shoes will go a long way. As 30% of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Mexican Diabetes Association in support with Virtual Miss Latin America Organization.

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Tomorrow the newest round of On9 begins and besides fashion there is always a few home and garden stuff at this event. I’m showing a couple items today that you can find. The first is the industrial tray by Decor Junction, it has a magazine, vase and two steaming cups of coffee to get your morning started or to finish off your evening.

The other item is the white apothecary cabinet by New Church. It’s also available in 4 other wood colors and stands at about 2m tall. It can be resized, though you’re cautioned that it may affect this item’s land impact. If you do resize, you need to make sure doors are set as closed, as they will reset to accommodate the new dimensions as you resize it. It also allows you to link items together with the cabinet, helpful instructions are provided if you do this.

Last item being shown is the Livingstone sofa by Dad Designs, available at The Crossroads. It’s got a land impact of 13 and is available in both a pg and adult version. Both have an abundance of single, couple and family animations.

Staying connected, no matter where you are

On July 25, 2016 By AlexaIn Furniture, HomeLeave a comment

Every time I visit one of my youngest sisters, who lives further up the state from me, one of the things that I enjoy is her office set up. She has two large computer screens, which is quite handy for her as she works with numbers and spreadsheets. I have my own little folder on her computer where I have SL stored and it’s always fun logging in from there as I get to feeling all techie.

I didn’t feel so smart when I accidentally re-textured all three screens when I was setting this up, even after putting a prim over each to prevent that from happening. From time to time I still make these mistakes.

Anyways, on to what I am showing today. First, this new hair by eXxEsS called Coco, which is available at the main store. It’s materials ready and comes with a breeze version for that natural hair blowing in the wind effect. The dress that I am wearing is by Zibska and its at the Secret Affair for a few more days. It includes 5 standard sizes and fit mesh options for the following bodies: Venus/Isis/Freya/Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Eve Slim & Pulpy and Tonic Fine & Curvy. It also offers 12 colors via a color change HUD.

I am also showing the Dim Sum Panda & Chopsticks by Aphrodite Shops that is wearable and animated. It’s available now at On9 also for a few more days as the event comes to an end. I’m wearing the panda version, but can be found also in a mouse, piggy and mixed version.

Lastly, I want to mention this XChip SmartHUD and the exclusive social APP “Wink”, which is available at Uber for free. According to the information that I received, the hud’s goal is to create a smart phone app feeling for a more fun user experience. You can stay connected with friends through the integrated social network or follow them, post status updates and receive your friends updates in real-time, both on the web and in-world. Plus many other features.. like meeting your soulmate or a new best friend with the wink app… so go grab yours for free at Uber and visit the website here for more information.

Take a leap of faith

Happy Sunday!

I’ve been trying to get this posted since the morning, but it’s been one distraction after another. Just got off a two hour phone call catching up with a friend and I said let me get this done before something else comes up.

As the month is coming to a close, so are a few events. I’m doing one last post for items that can be found at On9, which ends on the 28th. I’m beginning to be one of those last minute shoppers… waiting for the lines to go down and not having to fight the lag.

I’m featuring this lovely heavenly paradise patio set by Lavian & Co., which includes the sunshade, planters, table and chair that has like 18 sit animations. In the background is a piece of wall decor by Chiana Oh. The rosette decor is available in 4 colors perfect for the summer months or you can grab them in a fat-pack.

The pose I’m using is part of the Spanish patio pose prop by Exposeur, which is a pose store closing at the end of the month. I really loved the poses that came with it, and figured the prop would make a great background for future posts.

I’m wearing a new hair release by eXxEsS. This hair can be worn with or without the summer hat. It comes with an extensive hud for both the hair and hat and the newest feature of breeze in your hair to give it that natural movement as you walk about. It’s available now at the main store.

To complete my look I am wearing a swimsuit by R.icielli, which comes with a texture hud that gives you plenty of options with 26 variations. It’s a great bargain! These super high heels I am wearing are from [MODA], which also come with a texture hud, giving you several options to change the straps, platform and bows on the shoe.

Don’t miss out on these super bargains! Enjoy what remains of this weekend!

Vacancies at the Florida Motel

On June 18, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, Landscaping5 Comments

If you didn’t get your fill of summer things at Summer Tropical Fair that just ended then it’s a good thing as Summerfest ’16 just started today. It’s back for the 4th year to bring us some more hot summer fun shopping from June 18th through July 10th.

BoOgErS is participating again this year with some cute decor and wearable pizza and rainbow kites. Just the perfect thing to entertain the little ones outside and wear them out for bedtime. One of the releases by Seven Emporium at the event is this flashing Florida Motel Sign. It feels like I never left home. Chuckles.

If you’re the sporty water type then there is these sup boards by Balaclava, which gives you the choice to chill out with two relaxing sits and a laying animation or you can yoga with six different poses. If that’s not enough then how about paddling away on water with the paddle that comes included to paddle on water. Several colors to choose from.

For calmer waters Jammin has this old wooden rowboat with oars, with two seating positions that have four assorted poses. If you want a bit of refreshment for the blasting sun make sure you pick up this cute drinking rafts by RC Cluster that holds a drink.

The beach chime tree is by unKindness available currently at this round of The Chapter Four, which ends in a couple of days. You have just enough time to get them at 50% during the event. The log side table is by Industry 7, a new brand from the same creator of 7mad;Ravens and affiliated with unKindness. The complete set is an additional log table and some candles, which are not shown.

I’ve previously blogged these items, but I’m also showing one of the rare beach corgis by Jian currently at the arcade and the tropical palm trees by [Noble Creations] available now at Cosmopolitan.

Now moving on to what I’m wearing. The bikini top and briefs are from Mimikri, one of my frequented stores when I first started Second Life. I’m happily rediscovering it again. The bikinis are available in several colors at On9.

Lastly, the pose I’m on is another one from the set Ella by Amitie, also available currently at On9.

Oh I keep forgetting to mention this. In honor of Second Life’s birthday there are several events where you can find participating designers giving out a piece of cake containing a gift. One of those events is Hairology. The last few posts in both my blogs are featuring hairs that were gifts.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!!
