Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Happy Friday!

Today I’m featuring stuff by Empire and The Den in collaboration with Ariskea. The shoes are from Empire and available now at the Geeks & Nerds Event. Like with all their shoes the Hydrangea shoes are 100% original mesh and 2o colors are included via a HUD with the ability to change parts individually. They are rigged mesh made for the Belleza Freya, Belleza Venus, Belleza Isis, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, Maitreya and The Mesh Project.

The furniture set made up of the couch, chairs along with the chest table and balls decor with the hourglass and clock, lamp, postal frame and letter decor are a collaboration by the creators mentioned. It’s a lovely set that fits all year long, the sofa is available in both a pg and adult version.

You can find it at Uber. The rest of the close up pictures you will note were without any processing other than some light blurring, just to give you a better view of all the pieces in the set.

Have a fabulous one!

There’s no place I rather be than home

On September 28, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Gacha, Home4 Comments

When I got this skybox to blog the first thing that caught my eye was the design. My mind started to think of how I could decorate it, to create a living space without a big emptiness in the middle and keeping in mind the view from the windows. You can see it without the furniture below. That’s where I challenged myself to completely decorate it and hoping that I would have enough prim to do so. It’s mesh and the quality of the textures are very good. It’s by Dubu and available now at SaNaRae until October 18th.

The other items that are being featured today are some of the decor pieces in the room. Some of the plants on the table and on the stairs are by .aisling. and are available at the Fantasy Collective. There are two sets: the Mandragorae includes four versions with texture change via menu and Herbae includes three versions with texture change via menu as well. Each plant is only 1 land impact.

The vase in the table with twigs and the book near it sitting on top of some other books are by Serenity Style and at LTD The Event. Unfortunately, it is the last round for this event as it was unexpectedly announced to us yesterday. I’ve included vendor pictures of both the plants and the items by Serenity below credits so there is no confusion.

The remaining pictures with the one on top of this text and below are so that you can see the details and quality of the skybox.

My credits lists is huge and while I tried my best to stay in some particular order I might have gotten distracted and wandered from side to side as I copied and pasted. Though as always, if you want to know about any particular item, please don’t hesitate to contact me via comments, in-world or even flickr.

Why Grey? Because my ideas are colorful

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.

Don’t bottle it up all inside, let it out

On May 23, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home2 Comments

I don’t know if I ever really bottled up things inside. It probably depended on what it was and if I did it was probably not for long. More often the case as quick as I was to get angered I was quick to cool down.

These days I rarely hold back my tongue, though I am very diplomatic in nature… well most of the time.

Today I’m showing this furniture set by Mushilu that is available at Whimsical. The set includes the rose color dresser, book lamp and the table with some of the bottles.

I’m also featuring the mushrooms right outside the door. These are the latest landscaping decor by Little Branch. They are available now at the newest round of Shiny Shabby. On touch you can change the color of the mushrooms.

Have a great Monday, or what’s left of it.

Twisted happenings

On March 27, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, HuntsLeave a comment

The [Den.] has come out with a new skybox — the Room 341 out now at the newest round of Uber. The size is 24 x 22 x 6m and is 73 prims. One of the things to note about the builds from this creator is they are easily adaptable to fit whatever need you may have. For example this skybox can easily be used as a personal home or used for a business and modifiable to customize to your liking. The first two pictures top and bottom of the photo below show the bigger room in dark and light lighting. The other two pictures show the skybox as a double without doors, which makes it great for a store.

Featured as well is the decor wall clock by unKindness currently at the monthly Tres Chic event. It’s available in a few colors. The other items by the same creator is the table and ottoman that is below the television at the LTD Event.

To decorate the room above I used items from Finishing Touches. The yellow loungers, rugs, round table with vases and the column shelves with the accessories are the hunt gift by Finishing Touches for the Twisted Hunt. There is one other piece as part of this gift that is not pictured, which is the column shelves as stand alone.

It’s been three years since I last fully did this annual hunt. If I remember correctly you get no hints to find the twisted hunt object and there are dozens and dozens of the same object all over the store. Though the gifts for the hunt were always pretty good as evident by the prize that Finishing Touches has put together for it. There are other accompanying pieces to this set available in gacha at the store.

Happy shopping and hunting!

Check out all these cute bears! They are the rest of the bear collection by BoOgErS currently at the Arcade.

Little me is wearing some items from the All The Little Things event. However , there seems to be an issue going on with the sim where the event is hosted, so I am listing only the creator/designer landmark as they item may have been moved to their own stores.

The cute dress and all the accessories is by Q’s Quties with the ladybug boots by Little Llama, both stores cater to kids in Second Life. The pose is by p.o.s.e., a great store for toddleedoo poses.

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!

“Women are like roads, the more curves, the more dangerous they are.” ~ Mae West

Hope your Monday is off to a great start. I am just grateful that I didn’t wake up with another headache this morning and despite waking up with a worrisome dream I feel quite rested. I also had an absolutely lovely weekend in both worlds so I feel very content.

Today I am featuring this dress, which is from a new brand called Mulloy. It’s an elegant sexy dress made to fit several mesh bodies as well as the classic sizes. The brand conveys luxury and classy chic so ladies stay tuned for some more great things from this store.

I was a bit of shoe and purse shopaholic in both my real and second life at one time and not so long ago. Over the last 3 years that desire to have the latest style and purchasing over $200 purses has waned, even if buying quality shoes is still a must, only not as often. I never really bought purses here in second life only shoes and I mean lots of shoes, so much shoes that a closet like these new ones by Bazar would have been the ideal thing to have. At one time early in my Second Life journey I did find a shoe closet that had rows and rows of shoes in a flat prim. It was one of my favorite things and I probably still have it somewhere tucked away in my inventory.

The closet is by Bazar and it’s at the Home & Garden Expo. I am only showing some of the individual pieces as the space only allowed for four here. Though the full set also comes in a rez box version so that all you have to do is rez the box and click to rez the scene of closets in perfect order. The other great thing is that there is a male and female version. The ottoman is also by Bazar and has poses for female, male and couples.

Make sure you check out the rest of the fabulous items at the expo!

To: My Love

On February 11, 2016 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Home, ToddleeDooLeave a comment

After reading an article that a friend shared with me about unrealistic valentine’s day expectations earlier today it’s a little disconcerting to share in the social pressures this day brings. Is our expectations as women any different being in a virtual world? Or men finding it like drudgery to do the expected? Hmm.. let’s pretend otherwise.

Like most women I like my significant other to express and show his love, except I am more inclined to be spontaneously surprised or shown in other meaningful ways then have it be proclaimed on a specific day. It makes me recall one of my most memorable and never to be forgotten surprises when I logged in one day. There were all these giant size arrows leading me to various areas around the land where other posters with pictures or sayings expressing their love and affection. I melted and still do thinking about it. I loved even the cartoon character with the arms crossed and pouty lips with the words “little miss stubborn” …. coughs…me stubborn?

All that said there was a funny quote that I found not too long ago that went something like this. We like a man with a past, but we like a present too.

Today I am featuring all these cute items from All The Little Things Event that runs until the 21st of February. There is a lot of cute gacha items that are perfect for Valentine’s Day for both child and adult alike.

Surprise your loved ones!
