Sweet friendships always refreshes the soul

On By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, Landscaping6 Comments

Morning and Happy Friday!! I hope your weekend is off to a good start and while I have somewhat of a busy one with things I have to get done I’m looking forward to mine.

Today’s post is a collaboration with fellow blogger and someone I now call friend, Jules, who has her own blog at Sunshine & Sparkles.  It’s an appropriate name for her, as her personality is all sunshine and sparkles and I really like that about her. Plus she shares my sun sign of Aries, with our birthdays just days apart, so we’re finding that we have a lot in common including our feisty nature.  I think she has more patience than me and might not be as stubborn as I can be at times.  I know that’s hard to believe, but alas it’s true as much as I hate to admit it.  I do try to reign it in, because it’s not really endearing qualities to have.

Anyways, check out credits below for the amazing stuff we’re showing and as soon as Jules posts I’ll link up her blog once again here.

Have a fabulous rest of the day!

Let’s stay home today

On By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Happy Saturday everyone. I am literally going to stay home most of the day as I have to pack for a short trip away from tomorrow until Thursday.  I am taking a laptop so I’ll get to post as I normally do and be able to log in to SL.  Though I really dislike using a laptop for getting things done in-world so I’m taking advantage of a free day today to get a good portion of my pictures done so all I have to do is fix up credits and post and upload them into flickr.

Today I’m wearing a relatively new hairstyle by Tetra, as it was a previous release at the last round of Uber and can now be found at the main store.  It’s a gorgeous hair that comes in 2 sizes: fitted and unrigged, which means you can resize and reposition the hair as you like.  The top and shorts are new as well and both from recently closed events, so these too can be found at their respective main stores listed in credits. I’ve blogged these shoes before though they’re quite lovely to use over and over again. They’re called Waterlily and are by Empire and still at the N21 event that goes on for a few more days.

The decor I’m featuring is the lounger, which is by Shutter Field in collaboration with Decor Junction.  It’s available in a dark and light version and it’s at the Crossroads event. I must point out that the pose I’m using is my own created specifically to show off the shoes, so it’s not part of the lounger. The other item there as well is the organic rust vases by Merak, which I think can work in just about any decorating style you may choose.

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day!

What I remember of the 90s was that I was really busy finishing school in the early years and the start of my career. The rest seems sort of a blur now. I’m mixing a few events in this post starting with a new hair by Vanity at Tres Chic. This is a fun hair style and something every girl should try once just to let loose and let those hairs swing.

The t-shirt with a nice quote is by The Annex and it’s available at Enchantment. This one has “A dream is a wish your heart makes,” though there are a few others as well. The boots is one of the latest releases by Astralia for the Rewind 90s Throwback Event.  It comes with a color hud to change the actual heels, giving you 8 color options. The last item being featured is the pupperbot by JIAN and the poster behind me, also for the Rewind Event.

The event is ongoing until to the end of the month, so make sure you go check it out before then.

When they go low, we go high…

I think the title quote from one of Michelle Obama’s speech will be my motto for this year.  She did a marvelous job in describing that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully you don’t stoop to their level… no, instead when they go low, we go high. Let it pertain to anyone who chooses the low road… even including those you care for.  Forgive them not because they apologized or will even acknowledge they hurt you. No, instead choose to do it for yourself.. to free yourself from that negativity and always continue to love.

Have a great Saturday!

After several attempts to get a scene and picture completed I finally made it here. It’s just one of those days, so today I will leave you to peruse the credits for what I am showcasing.

I do want to apologize if anyone tried to use my landmark to The Crossroads with my previous post.  For some unbeknownst reason it didn’t take the event landmark and instead you landed on my empty work platform. I’ll have to make sure I pay more attention when I add the link.

Have a great one!

While I am usually drawn more to neutral warm colors for my own personal likes when I am decorating my own homes — I do like white and light colors. I think part of the reason that I’m drawn to warmer colors is that I grew up in a large family and light colors was never an option. My paternal grandmother on occasion had light color furniture, but she lived on the west coast and visits there were for short weeks at a time.  My maternal grandmother had two living rooms, a formal and non formal one, but both were warm colors.

It’s one of the reasons to love about Second Life decorating. You can experiment as much as you like with decorating — trying something that may not be your usual style or colors and replace it so quickly if it’s not to your liking.  If you’re like me and often stick to warm colors how about shifting to something new.

Today, I’m showing a new release by a store that I just started blogging for known as (luc) boutique, that specializes in jewelry and home decor.  I hope to be showing you some more great things in the future.

I’m featuring a few pieces from their gacha at The Season’s Story.  There are 12 pieces total, of which I am using 9 listed below under credits. The pouf is by Soy, and it’s at this round of The Liaison Collaborative. You can also find the updo hairstyle that I’m wearing by D!va and the fur jacket by Mimikri at the same event.

The lingerie Mimiry in black is by Mushilu for Oh My Gacha.  You can view the gacha key here.

Happy Saturday!
