Happy Saturday everyone!

It’s a rainy kind of day here as we’re having on and off thunderstorms throughout the day. It just called for a lazy day at home and quite perfect as I have to get some reading in.

It’s another mixture of fashion and home decor in today’s post with items from all over the grid as there’s just an overabundance of events going on. Some that are fairly new and others well known monthly ones.

Check everything out below.. and have a fabulous rest of the day!

All the time someone is watching you

On September 29, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home1 Comment

I’m in the groove right now listening to 80’s music, which was one of the highlights of my teenage years. When I was putting this scene together the song, “Somebody’s Watching Me,” is what came to mind. For most of my career, at least the past 15 years, I had a very public life where I had to get used to the fact that there is always someone watching you.

I kid you not. It was a bit uncanny when comments would reach me that someone would see me at a certain place or I said this or that, all unbeknownst to me. I was still in this career when I started Second Life that at times I was a little apprehensive with it. Though I’m no longer in that career and fully embracing not having to censor everything that I do or say.

Today I am showing DaD Design’s latest creation, which is the ‘Wrought Iron Vintage Bed’. It’s 100% original mesh and is available in both PG and Adult and has 4 different texture colors (white – gray – dark grey – black) accessible by clicking on the headboard.

You can find more details on the bed below the credits.

Memories of you always make me smile

On December 10, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, General, Landscaping, LifeLeave a comment

Today I’m simply doing a tribute to my father to celebrate his birthday. It’s been 6 years since dad passed and more then ever I miss him terribly.

Dad loved old cars and would from time to time share a long ago memory of some vehicle he drove or owned. The belair was one of those vehicles so when I saw this version recently it was a given that I needed to get it. It’s about the right size as he liked big cars.

His other love was music and dad played the accordion from a young age up until his last days. I’ve showed this accordion on a previous post remembering my father and it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t bring it back out to use as this was his passion. It’s not the same kind of model as his were always the button and not the piano variety.

That Texas marquee was another must have and no it’s not because all my exes live in Texas…well just one! My Dad who grew up in Texas would have chuckled at that as he was a bit of a jokester himself.

Today is a little hard for me not being close to home to take him flowers personally, but I know he wouldn’t want me to give it a second thought. Easier said then done.

Feliz Cumpleaños Papi!

Unself yourself

I was not planning to blog anything today as I didn’t get around to doing anything the previous night as I usual do for the day ahead. Though I have quite a few things to show in the coming days.

Then I got some new stuff to blog and I couldn’t wait to do something with it as ideas quickly began to form. I am featuring this picnic blanket with basket of bread and wine from Shutter Field. It has animation for single and couples. I’m showing the purple version, but you can find it in two different colors at the event. The little one took the phone while the grown up went astray and is showing off her new clogs and leg warmers by BoOgErS, which are available at this round of La Boutique. It is a monthly event for kids.

The last items I am showing are these giant maple trees from Little Branch, which are at this round of 6th Republic. There are three versions with texture change for all seasons by touch.

Found the cookies!

On September 25, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, ToddleeDooLeave a comment

Doing a quick post this evening to show a few items for the toddleedoo. The first are these dinosaur pajamas that BoOgErS made for the Gen-Neutral event, which ends tomorrow so you still have a little time to grab them at a great price. There are two options available for you to choose from.

Over the past weekend I made two batches of peanut butter cookies, which amounted to about four dozen. So it made me chuckle as I was doing up this scene as I recalled the amount of cookies I had in the last days. I’m glad they’re all gone now. This cute “found the cookies” pose is by Buglets and is available at the main store.

There are a couple of items that I picked up today for kids Fifty Linden Friday like the peg board toy and the black sneakers, which are a part of a complete outfit. You can find all the details below.

My little pumpkin

On September 21, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, ToddleeDoo2 Comments

It’s definitely starting to look like Fall in Second Life with all the orange, yellows and red colors you see around. I’m featuring a few new items by unKindness to help you decorate for the season.

The County Pumpkin set, which can be found at the Tres Chic event includes the pumpkin seat, pumpkin accessories on the floor and the candle tray on the table. The seat comes with male and female sit animations.

Another item by unKindness is the spooky brigade decor that is leaning up against the wall made for the Autumn Effect Hunt. You can hunt for it at the main store.

The other item that I am featuring today is the big baggy hoody outfit for the toddleedoo made by BoOgErS for the Kawaii Project. The big baggy hoody outfit is available in two options.

The rest of the decor is listed below.

Painting our own realities.

On May 2, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Home, ToddleeDoo4 Comments

Tomorrow the May round of “All The Little Things” event for ToddleeDoo opens and so I’m doing a second post today to show you a few more items. This is for those who want to be an artist when they grow up. Both the creators of Little Deer and High V. made artists sets for the event. The easel and table that the little me is sitting at is the set from Little Deer and comes with a blank canvas to add your picture or a painted canvas as you see here. The stool also has about three different animations included. The outfit minus the shoes is also from the same creator and is unisex.

The other set that consists of the stool, easel and table with everything on top and the painted art on the wall is from High V. I am using the adult version that will also be sold at the event, though it is also available in the TD size. The stools has some funny animations and the canvas gives you several choices in pictures.

Pretty cool stuff.
