Look 84: A River So Long

Pastels in winter? Why not, I say. The fading sunlight is actually a perfect accompaniment to blushy pink and frosty mint tones -  a palette I used to inspire both my outdoor setting and my outfit. I picked up quite a few items featured here from Collabor88: the flared coat by The Secret Store, the fluffy lambs by MishMish, hat by Milk Motion, and poses by Imeka. The pink skates are also by The Secret Store, the pink hair is by Clawtooth, and both can be found at the Arcade event. I don't even want to tell you how many lindens I spent to finally get the pink skates! :)

Look 83: If on a Winter's Night

I'm enjoying winter in SL far more than I am enjoying winter in real life. It has been brutally cold where I live, but the digital landscape allows me to enjoy the beauty of winter without any of the inconveniences: slick roads, chapped lips and hands, and unflattering multi-layers of clothing. I wanted to put together a Christmasy outfit that didn't amount to a santa suit, and was pleasantly surprised with all of the goodies up for grabs at Collabor88's latest round, along with some treats from the new Arcade event. This cozy knit dress and boots by Katatonik pairs up perfectly with the knit-wrap hairstyle from Clawtooth. The backpack of fish by B.C.C. and igloo by What Next add a decidedly Inuit feel to the whole scene. Now all I need is some penguins to feed.

Look 82: Unlock the Lock Inside of Me

Hi all!  Just wanted to show off an outfit I've been wearing around the grid lately, comprised of items from many recent events, including collabor88, Fameshed, shoetopia, etc...  I tried to keep everything mature and simple for once. Maybe because someone once told me that my avatar always looks 13. :/  But I do quite like the results and perhaps I'll be putting together some more mature and simple outfits in the near future. ;)

Harvest House

Hello all. It's been a while... I've been very busy in RL, but I just realized the other day that I haven't yet posted the pictures of my autumn home. And since it's really barely autumn anymore, I really ought to get them up.

I was going for a cozy, warm place with a witchy feel, and I think I achieved that... let me give you the tour, k?

I'm going to do something I wouldn't normally do and skip the credits, mostly due to time constraints. I will post a list of all the creators featured in the above pictures (and cross my fingers that I don't miss anyone), but no landmarks. If you want to know where something specific comes from, please leave me a comment to ask!  Despite the brevity of this post I hope you enjoyed these pics :)

Content in above pics by: Trompe Loeil, Happy Mood, We're Closed!, Beetlebones, Pilot, Lisp, MMG's, Cheeky Pea, Sanctuaire, Vespertine, Noctis, Discordant Designs, Fri.Home, floorplan, POST, Zigana, Zinnia's, Half-Deer, Picnic, Lark, BBQQ, Y's House, Atomic, lame, OMEN, applefall, keke, tatty soup, TIA, tres blah, and hopefully I haven't missed anyone!

Look 81: Brittle Flowers

Hello everybody - hard to believe it's almost mid-October and I'm only just now getting to some of the monthly events! It definitely doesn't help that there's so much cute stuff to choose from. Today's look and room is mostly comprised of things I picked up from this month's Chapter Four. It features a lot of Ionic because I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to Iakua's gatchas, plus accessories by Milk Motion and Tokame, and pose by Imeka. If you haven't collected your haul from the Chapter Four yet, be sure to get there in the next few weeks while the getting is good.

Look 80: Make My Mouth Water

The Candy Fair just opened this weekend and there's lots of delectable treats for your sweet tooth. I actually don't eat candy in real life, but it seems in Second Life I can't get enough of it - especially if I can wear it like an accessory! Most of what I'm wearing - including the birdies on my shoulders and the cotton-candy cart - can be found at the Candy Fair. I'm also wearing a new skin, Luna, by one of my favorite skin creators: The Sugar Garden. Both the eyes and lipstick are a new TSG release, too, with the lipstick being a Candy Fair exclusive. I don't know about you, but just looking at this picture gives me a toothache. In a good way...

Look 79: A Thimblesworth of Milky Moon

Today I have a bunch of odds-and-ends to show you. A few last-minute Arcade prizes, some FLF items, a thing or two from The Dressing Room Fusion, and some new releases from the home furniture store Junk. Basically, I'm wrapping up all of this month's events and getting ready to blow even more lindens on the upcoming October events! Why is it that shopping in SL never gets old...?

Have you been to the store MishMish yet? I love these cute little clay pots they featured for FLF. They come with a hud so you can add a bow, mustache, pacifier, etc. Sort of like Mr. Potato-Head, if anyone remembers those toys. Floorplan also put out a great texture-change metal lamp for FLF - the half table is by them, too. Except for the TV (which is by the Loft and was an arcade prize), the rest of the furniture shown here is new from Junk. I love the chair, it's so unique! I chose the vegetable-themed floor cushions because they remind me of fall.

Well that's it for this weekend. Hope you have a great Saturday!

Look 78: When the Weather Breaks

The leaves are just beginning to change where I live - summer has a few last gasps in her and then we'll be in the thick of autumn with Halloween coming up. Today I'm wearing an outfit in anticipation of the upcoming chill, mixing together some items from both past and the current Collabor88. As for the fawn ears and make-up....consider it early practice Halloween. Plus it just looks cute. <3

Look 77: Go on and Wonder

You've been to the new round of The Chapter Four by now, haven't you? If you haven't, get there pronto and grab one of my favorite gatchas...a set of fantastic furniture and decor by Ionic. Everything pictured above was included in just one play for $75L! A great deal, and a great way to get your hands on some adorable goodies.

What about The Seasons Story? At this event you'll find lots of Autumnish, whimsical-themed fashion and home decor. Everything I'm wearing (except for the skin) was picked up at the The Seasons Story, including this delicate lace skirt by Pesca and gathered silk blouse by Tram, which I paired with more boyish-looking boots by +ILO+. The hair is by Truth and comes with a hud to change both the hat and hair textures. I love all of it!

I've picked up lots of fun stuff at the Arcade, so it's about time I showed it off! As usual, there's just wayyy too many cute and fun things to spend your Lindens on at the Arcade, but I refuse to have any regrets about it! The Chapter Four also has a new round up, full of cute clothes and home decor items. I'll be showing off all the home items I got in a future post.

If anyone used to shop at the great home store Tatty Soup (now closed), the creator, Tab Tantham, has a new shop called junk, where you can find some of the cute new releases featured above.

See you next soon!

Look 75: The Music of What Happens

A rowan like a lipsticked girl. 
Between the by-road and the main road 
Alder trees at a wet and dripping distance 
Stand off among the rushes. 

There are the mud-flowers of dialect 
And the immortelles of perfect pitch 
And that moment when the bird sings very close 
To the music of what happens 

Happy Saturday! Today I've put together something simple using some items from the Arcade and Fifty Linden Fridays. The photographs came out kinda poetic, somehow, and reminded me that one of our best poets, Seamus Heaney, died this week. The poem I quote above, "Song," is by him. Saturdays are good days for reading poetry, don't you think?

Look 74: Without so Much as a Shiver

If you still haven't made it over to the Arcade because you can't stand fighting the crowds, why not swing over to Collabor88 and grab up any last minute goodies you might have missed? There's only a few days left before the next round, and I don't know about you, but the birthday round was so great that every time I've gone back, I find something I meant to buy and didn't! 

In addition to my C88 goodies, I've purchased something I never thought I would purchase - mesh feet by Slink! One thing about me is that I hate, and I mean hate tinting feet. This is why I rarely purchase open-toed shoes in SL. When I discovered that some of my favorite skin creators are now making appliers for the Slink feet and hands, I became a lot more interested in getting a set of feet for my avatar. Then, when I saw these platforms by Milk Motion and how cute they were, I was sold! Now I can't wait to expand my collection of Slink-compatible footwear. Better go buy some more lindens...

Look 73: Back from the Dead

Hello all!  As the title suggests, I'm back from a long SL hiatus. My real life has been a priority the last several months, and while I don't see that changing, I have made time lately to buy some new outfits... so I figure while I'm doing so, why not blog them?

As everyone already knows by now, it's C88's 2nd birthday. C88 was one of the first events I ever shopped in SL, back in April 2012, and even though I tried to take photographs of my outfits, my photography skills were pretty abysmal, so they never got posted. Still, C88 became one of my first favorite monthly events and has remained a favorite ever since.

Notes:
Though it's slow going, I'm having a ball decorating my new spring house.  Today I'm showing you part of the sleeping loft: a little parlor area I created using items from fri.home and floorplan. Once the entire house is done I'll do a proper "grand tour" post, but meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this little teaser!

I'm hardly the first to post about it, but the new Dakota Mesh Head from Sugar Garden is just too cute for words. It's got an anime-cartoonish style to it, which originally made me think it would only work with cutesey outfits; however, I've seen a lot of people pair it up with naughtier looks, and even this outfit I'm wearing here is actually borderline sophisticated. In other words, Dakota is more versatile than you might originally think!  It's also very easy to fit onto your shape so long as you follow the instructions on the notecard. I didn't have any problems getting it to fit me at all, though it might help that my normal base avatar shape is rather petite.

I'm also in love with this skirt from C'est La Vie, which was recently available for a steal (65L!) at Stuff in Stock. I really appreciate designers who create their own original meshes, and it seems to me that Larcoco deserves accolades for her fresh and original designs; I love the fit, flare, and shape of this piece!

Happy Saturday, friends.  I'm off to try to make my way into the Arcade next!

Notes:
As I sit here on a snowy Sunday, spring has never seemed further away. In SL, however, spring is already starting to show itself, especially in this fun and flirty outfit by kata0nik. Now, I never though I would buy any kind of mesh breast attachments, as they just don't really jibe with my personal style....however, I'll fully admit to being charmed by the sort of "blow-up doll cutsey/kawaii cupcake" look that has accompanied the popularity of Lola's Tango breasts, in particular.

Turns out that I DO actually like fake boobs so long as they're part of a look that is sweet enough to give a person a tooth ache. The Sugar Garden's skins, makeup, and clothing are my favorites for achieving this look, and now I'm happy to see that katat0nik is contributing to this trend.

I put together this scene rather quickly, as I wanted the outfit to take center stage.  I've included a few pieces from the new parlour set by fri.home, which is just great. Run out and get it if you haven't yet!  I've also got my new Scarlet Creative home set up, but am still in the process of decorating. It's a much bigger space than what I usually have, so it could take me a while!

Wow, this week's Fifty Linden Friday has really impressed me with all the cute furniture releases that are available for 50L!  In fact, I'm going to rush this post a bit so that it goes up before Saturday, so that those of you who haven't been out shopping yet can see what you're missing.  The first big news is that the store fri.day is teaming up with Floorplan on a new line of home decor, and from what I've seen so far, it looks great!  The entry table and assorted decor is on special for FLF, and comes in at a modest 4LI.  Now, I'm not sure what's going on with all the book-themed furniture lately, but being an avid reader myself, I approve of this trend!  The cute book shelf frames are a FLF item by .lame, and the spool book table and book lamp are both on sale for FLF at Floorplan's main store. Make sure you go buy all this cute stuff before midnight tonight!

I love this rabbit hoodie by u.f.o., but I wanted to pair it up with something other than the skirt it came with. I've been wanting this lace-edged skirt by NuDoLu for a while, and I thought they looked super cute together. Fair warning, though - it's extremely challenging to find hair that fits under this hoodie.  I ended up just going with some bangs and a hairbase to mimic the look of a tucked in ponytail, but that's because I was being a perfectionist and didn't want any hair sticking out through the hoodie at all.  If you're less picky than me, then you may be able to use a wider variety of hair styles underneath it. It's a cute enough ensemble that I didn't mind having to go with a somewhat plainer hairstyle.

The poses (except for the chair) are a new set by my friend Nati, available at her store Imeka. Go get them!  Soooo cute!

Happy weekend, friends!
