Good Morning, Love

Have you ever been served breakfast in bed? Or served someone? I never have. Oh, I've eaten in bed, don't get me wrong. But the whole romantic breakfast in bed thing? Nope! But I have always thought it's a cute idea!




Windsong and Dust Bunny have teamed up for this round of The Chapter Four with this cutesy Valentine's Tray. It's just a nice little piece of decor and only 1 land impact! I think my favorite thing is that the heart shaped pancakes on it are not perfectly shaped. My pancakes never come out perfect either!

Happy shopping, dear ones!

Digging For Gold

So this tiny little event started this week. I don't know if you've heard of it. I believe it's called... THE ARCADE. Okay, so you basically have to be living under the biggest rock in the deepest cave in the most remote part of Antarctica to not know about The Arcade! Second Spaces is out there with the cuuuutest decor set! It's called Flea Market Finds, but I thought it looked like stuff you might find in the attic of your grandma's house!








There are 11 pieces to collect, 2 rares [the bingo set and the cigar boxes], and it's $75L a play. Second Spaces is my favorite place for "clutter" stuff in SL, and I know I'll find places in my house for every single piece of this set.

Happy gacha-ing!

Bathroom Break!

There are a couple of things [among many, really] that I love in SL. One is having a house that is realistic enough, and two is... The Arcade!! When Elle Kirshner of Second Spaces started showing sneak peeks of her Arcade set Bathroom Clutter, it spoke to every thing in my "Of COURSE I need a bathroom in SL!" heart of hearts.






There are 11 items in the collection, and you will want every single one! Two are rare, and all of the items except for the Crates of Things are only one tiny little land impact! Elle is the queen of clutter as she's proven time and time again. But really, it's the cute little details that just MAKE a home, don't you think?

Here is the gacha guide for you with better, up close photos of the items.

The Arcade starts on March 1st! You can see all of the awesome stuff on The Arcade Shopping Guide, too!

There are 10 things to win, 2 of the 10 being rare. To complete your collection, you'll need the Crafts On The Go box [blue is the rare, beige is the regular], Caddy [rare], Paints, Papers, Washi Tape, Stamps, Ribbons, Punches, and Table. Each play is $75L, and each item is just one little land impact. 10 land impact for the ENTIRE set? Oh mesh, I love you.

You can hit up the Second Spaces gacha right here on September 1st when The Arcade opens! Good luck!!

This New Obsession Is Turning Us Alien

It's time for another round of The Garden, and this one is out of this world! *gigglesnorts*




Area 51 is the theme for this month's Garden, and the designers have gone all out with some space and alien inspired goodies! I never thought I'd decorate with this kind of theme since mostly I'm girly and floral and all that, but oh my gosh, look how cool everything is! Jet on over, because you need everything!

Oh, and PS: If you have me on Flickr, you might have noticed some of my photos not showing up. WELL. Seems like Flickr decided my photos of family, cows, and pretty clothes that cover up all the important bits necessitate a RESTRICTED label. I know, right? I'm fighting it, but until then, if you could please add my NEW FLICKR, I'd really appreciate it! Also, add me to your groups! I feel lost and alone without my groups! Thank you. :)

Love Is A Verb In My Room

Summer is definitely here! I don't know about you guys, but some days during the summer, I'm awfully lazy with the heat. All I want to do is lay down in a beautiful bed, in a nice cool room, and just rest.




There are three really awesome events going on right now - Zodiac, The Garden, and Summerfest! And there are lots of gorgeous home and garden items at the events! I'll admit that I'm being super super lazy at the moment and I don't know exactly which event certain things in my room will be found at, but it really just means that you need to hit all three events and check them out. I'm sure you don't mind, right? :)

Events You Need To Go To:

Zodiac - Cancer Round
Summerfest '13
The Garden

Stores Where All This Stuff Came From:

Cheeky Pea
Floorplan
The Loft
Pilot
Pixel Mode
Second Spaces
Mudhoney
Funky Junk

Let's Watch The Sun Go Down

The Home & Garden Expo is still going strong! You have a few days yet to head out there and see some of the fantastic work people have done and do some shopping for a good cause. Then when you're finished shopping, head home, pour a glass of iced tea, and watch the sunset. Perfect day!

I'm Coming Home

HOME EXPO IS COMING!!!! Sorry for the caps, but this is definitely one of my favorite favorite favorite events of the year!




This is the sixth year for the Home and Garden Expo in Second Life. The event has over 100 of Second Life's best home and garden creators, so there's sure to be SOMETHING you need for your home there! This year the event spans 8 sims for just the home and garden products, 2 sims for the Breedables Fair, and 1 sim for entertainment. There will be a great hunt, silent auctions, and raffles, too! It's going to be so much fun!

The Home and Garden Expo runs from May 24th to June 2nd and benefits Relay For Life. See you there!

[I'll have all the SLurls for the Expo when the time comes!]

What's New, Pussycat?

I picked a great time to get over my cold that had me knocked out last week because there's lots of new goodies from Collabor88 and Coldlogic!




Kitsch is the theme for this month's Collabor88 and the creators really had fun with the theme! There are a lot of brightly colored items in fun prints, if that's your thing, it's absolutely worth a look! I'm all about bright colors, so naturally I found this month's theme wonderful!

Coldlogic released some new dresses today and oh my goodness... If you like cleavage, you will LOVE a few of the dresses!! I'm wearing the Bailey dress. It looks more modest, but it's backless and I find that a lot more sexy than showing a ton of cleavage sometimes!

Tons more to shop for, so quit reading and go do it!

Thin line between dreams and memories

I'll admit, I am a home decorating junkie! I pick up so much home and garden stuff, it is probably the biggest folder in my entire inventory, and that's really saying something if you've ever seen my inventory. Collabor88 gave me another H&G fix this month because there are some cute cute things for all your decorating needs.

I Surrender Honestly

I'm feeling awfully lazy today. I really don't even want to get out of bed!




More goodies from FaMESHed! I fell in love with the adorable Bowlicious dresses from The Secret Store when I first saw the photos! I'm wearing it in cappuccino because I sure could use one right now!

Gos Boutique has a special Gold Snake color of the Grace sandals for FaMESHed this round. I'm not usually a big fan of animal prints, or snakes, but I really couldn't resist buying these gorgeous shoes.

Trompe Loeil's Gramercy bedroom suite is so perfect, I can't get over it. I'm just using the bed right now, but truly, the whole set is amazing. It's also great for men because it's not overly feminine like many bedroom sets in Second Life tend to be.

Not at FaMESHed, how cute is the Virginie hair from Truth?? I love the swoop to the side! Have I mentioned how much I love his Fades pack? I've been wearing the Seasand fade color lately and it's just fab!

Enough of that - let's get some shopping done!

Don't Question Why She Needs To Be So Free

Oh my goodness, what a crazy past few days I've had! I meant to blog this on Saturday but... Anyway, FaMESHed opened! Yay! I'll keep the post short and sweet today.




New goodies for FaMESHed from The Loft, Maxi Gossamer, and Erratic! All amazing, all VERY necessary for your SLife! :)

Truth also released new hair this past weekend, and of course you need it too. I am in love with this London hair and have not once taken it off in DAYS.

Shopping time!

It's the hap-happiest season of all!

Oh, look at this place! It's beautifully decorated, isn't it?




I just love when I stumble upon sims where I can take pictures. It's so helpful that people decorate so that... What? It's not a sim? OH THAT'S RIGHT. It's a collaboration piece from Pilot and Exposeur!




This wonderful winter Snow Globe makes my heart happy! I collect snow globes in SL, and actually being in one is awesome! Pilot does wonderful mesh work, and Exposeur makes some of the best poses on the grid, so now could this NOT be full of fantastic?? This globe comes in at 44 Land Impact, and has 7 couples poses, 3 group poses, 5 female poses and 5 male poses. Also, there's a little mini version [3 LI] of the globe for decoration! I already have it out on one of our shelves!

I think more people need to do collaboration projects. When two awesome creators combine forces, it's pretty much always amazing!

Not Very Technical

So the husband has been hinting that he might like a television in our bedroom for when we want to be totally lazy. But um...I might have to let him hook this up. I'm not very technical.




Luckily I'm pretty in my new outfit from FAIR!

FAIR opens today at 4pm SLT!! Also, if you like my pose from aDORKable, you can pick it up tomorrow when the Libra cycle of Zodiac opens!

Happy Saturday!

Autumn Time

I just love autumn as a season. Football games, marching band contests, lots of pretty falling leaves and pumpkins, and of course pulling out the jeans and sweaters! Of course, in my neck of the woods, we're usually still wearing shorts until Thanksgiving, but in SL, it's definitely time to start pulling out the cooler weather clothes!




Coldlogic just released a whole bunch of new items, and I fell in deep love with the Shereda top! A lovely cropped sweater over a pretty cowl necked shirt? Oh, yes PLEASE! I never want to take it off!

At FaMESHed this month, Auxiliary released their new Skinny jeans. I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of skinny jeans, but these are just fabulous! They're low rise and make your booty just look amazing. And while you're picking these up at FaMESHed, be sure to grab the Noriko hair from Wasabi Pills. I'm not a short hair kind of girl normally, but this hair is so adorable, I can't seem to take it off!

I guess it's time to stop looking pretty and start doing some autumn landscaping. Hey, while I have you here - Where are the best places to get autumn trees and other outdoor decor? Leave a comment or IM me! :)

Chillin' With Books

I don't always wear mesh clothing. I do probably 95% of the time these days, but sometimes, you just can't beat some nice texture layer clothing, like the cute Denim Vests from BOOM for Stumblebum, and these lovely LaceBack tank tops from The Sea Hole.




Barnesworth Anubis came out with a really gorgeous skybox for this month's Collabor88. The Stockholm skybox comes in both a furnished and unfurnished version. I just adore the bookshelves!!

If you use the unfurnished version, the new Laura living room mesh set from MudHoney is just the perfect set for the skybox!




There are many cute pieces in the set, so you're sure to love putting pieces of it in your own home.

Come On Over

When I saw the new Shasta dresses from JANE, I immediately thought of a pretty housewife, maybe back in the 50s or so. I absolutely love vintage inspired clothing, so this is definitely a dress for me!




Okay, so maybe it's a little shorter and more low cut than an old school housewife would wear, but that's what makes it fresh! It is mesh, of course, and comes in standard sizes. By the way, all of the older JANE mesh clothing [before standard sizing!] is on clearance! But hurry in, you only have a couple of weeks before it's retired forever.

Don't you love when house makers make decor sets to match houses? Funky Junk recently released the super pretty Beatrice house, and the new Beatrice kitchen was made to match! It's not just pretty, it's interactive! You can cook, wash dishes, sit around. It's fun! For those of you who like a little more realism in your SL, this is the kitchen for you. Come on over, I'll make you some soup!

Fiesta!

If you're looking for something fun to do for Cinco de Mayo and you don't have a chance to go out for margaritas, why not stop by the sim opening for FD Decor!




FD Decor is having a party from 2pm - 4pm SLT to celebrate both Cinco de Mayo AND the opening of their new location! There will be some exclusive freebies given out, including this really cute Boardwalk Bench. I am really sad that I'll have to miss the party [Saturdays are never good for me!] but you all should go and hang out and report back to me! :)

Lazy Days!

It's Spruce Up Your Space time!! I swear, I just love this event! Of course, I'm a total home & garden addict. Funky Junk doesn't disappoint with the new Lazy Days Hanging Bed and Gazebo!






The gazebo is just awesome and comes in at 37 prims. It does include the bed! But you can also purchase just the hanging bed on its own if you aren't in need of a gazebo for your garden. The hanging bed is 17 prims, no copy/no modify, and has 19 couples cuddles and 7 single poses. Get it this weekend for SUYS if you want the discounted price!!

Also, be sure you've updated your landmarks to the NEW Funky Junk mainstore over on The Pea! It's super pretty out there!

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends

I have always been a HUGE reader. I started when I was barely past my 3rd birthday and cannot seem to stop. My bookshelves are double stacked. I still prefer real books to Kindles/Nooks/whathaveyous. When I heard that the theme for this month's Collabor88 was Classic Novels, I squealed in delight! The designers did SUCH a wonderful job interpreting the theme!!




From Whippet & Buck comes the Tess lingerie. [And yay for the lingerie challenge!] It's simple and cute, just the way that I like it! Little bows, little lace, perfect!

Trompe Loeil set out the Novel Decor Bedroom Duo behind me. An awesome mesh bed and book table, this is a must have in any book AND mesh lover's home! I just love the colors. It's a little darker than I'd have normally, but oh so pretty!

Not at Collabor88, but new today, Elikatira released her newest mesh hair, Abbey! LOVE the back of this hair!




Although I think everyone should love reading, you should STOP reading now and go shopping!
