Living That Valentine Life

We're 2 days away from Valentine's day, and even if you're your own Valentine this year, you can still live that Valentine life with some pretty cool home decor!




Magnolia is in a new-to-me event called The Countdown Room with the cute little Window To My Soul decor set! It's a console table and a shuttered "window" with a heart for the wall. I like empty tables sometimes so I can add all my own stuff! There are 2 different windows, too. I'm using the music heart one for this photo. The Countdown Room only lasts a week, so hurry on over!

Second Spaces is in Collabor88 this month and bringing us Amor! I'm using the Amor couch and the Amor wall art [modified to be a bit smaller] for this photo. There are different prints in the wall art, and different colors for the couches, and also armoires that match everything.

Happy shopping, valentines!

Spring Is Coming?

My daughter, Abby, has been asking me when spring is coming back. Well, soon... but with spring comes gardening and just between us, I'm not that great at it! At least I look cute, though.




Coldlogic released today! Just a smallish release [well, smallish for them!] of some layered shirts and dresses. You know I'm thrilled every time there's something new! I'm wearing the Carpenter top and not only is it pretty adorable, it fits great over my Maitreya body! That's kind of a big deal these days, isn't it? Finding clothes that fit over whatever mesh body you're wearing. :)

21 Shoe is happening today and you can get these fabulous Elsa boots at Livalle! I'm still pretty much in love with Frozen, so you know I already loved these just for the name alone. There wasn't an option for the Maitreya body, but the standard avatar ones fit pretty well over the legs. There is also a hud to alpha out the tops of the boots so you can wear them under pants.

N21 starts today and Second Spaces is there with the Garden Sink you see behind me. This comes in a couple of colors [I'm using the winter one] and if you don't want anything on the shelves, there is an option for that, too. The sink actually works when you touch it, if you like when your plumbing works.

Happy shopping!

Don't You Talk To Unicorns, Too?

Don't you sit around having nighttime conversations with your unicorn, too? No? Well, you're missing out. Unicorns are pretty smart. Collabor88 is opening up with the theme of "OMG! UNICORNS!" Trust me when I say this made a LOT of people very happy!




Second Spaces brings us the Unicorn Chaise Set for Collabor88 and it's super adorable! The set comes in either pink or teal and has the chaise, the framed prints, and a deco wall. I used the pink wall and the teal chaise and prints because you guys need both sets and I had to show that. :)

Hopscotch is at OMGacha this month with these precious little Animal Slippers. There are 6 different slippers to play for, and I am wearing the rare Unicorn ones for this picture just to stick with the theme! OMGacha opens up on the 10th.

Happy shopping!

Doesn't It Feel Like Christmas?

So Ms. Elle Kirshner of Second Spaces has been an incredibly busy bee lately! Let's take a look at a couple of her new releases!




If you didn't know, Second Spaces is in The Arcade with the Wrap It Up set! If you're getting ready to wrap Christmas gifts, this is the set for you. There are 12 items to collect, 2 being rare. [The ribbon shelf and the wrapping paper rack on the wall.]

Collabor88 starts today and for this photo, I'm using a few pieces from the new Snow Day set by Second Spaces. I LOVE this set! There are several pieces because Elle is truly the queen of stuff to clutter your home up with. The lights on my wall are from the set, but I edited them to be bigger and tinted the bulbs red.

Go on! It's time to shop!

Checking In

There are SO many things going on right now, y'all! I might need to start posting twice a day just to show it all! [Okay, okay. Let's not get crazy.]

How cool is the Checkout At 11 set by Second Spaces for Collabor88?








You THINK it's just a run down hotel set, but then you check the guestbook. Oh my! That's not a hotel I want to stay at!! There are 5 pieces to the set - the counter, the hutch, the guestbook, and 2 luggage trolleys, one with and one without luggage. Total land impact for the set if you use the trolley with the luggage is only 7. ONLY 7!

Trunk or Treat started today and that is where I got my Happy Halloween Garland from Windsong. The garland is free! You really want to check out this event, especially if you are a kid! There are a few gachas, lots of very inexpensive items, and freebies, too!

Happy shopping!

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!

Space Study

Okay, I'll admit it. I've never been a huge fan of any kind of "space" theme in SL. But some of the designers for Collabor88 this round have done such a great job, they just might be changing my mind!




Second Spaces and MudHoney are two of my utmost favorite home decor and furniture stores in SL, so I was super happy to see them in this round. Second Spaces has items named Supernova and MudHoney has the Jerry office set. I used bits and pieces from both sets to create this "space study" in the very cool Centauri Pod skybox from Barnesworth Anubis, also at Collabor88.

Head on over to Collabor88 to shop! I'm sure you'll find a lot of things that are out of this world!

[Ugh. I'm sorry. I had to make that joke! LOL!]

Happy February, everyone! I love the start of a new month, don't you? I don't have much to say today because it's Saturday, it's camp day, events are opening, and who has time to read, anyway? It's time to shop!!!

After All This Time?

So I'll admit it. I'm probably the least "geeky" or "nerdy" out of my group of friends. I don't know anything about Doctor Who aside from what I've learned by osmosis. I don't care about Star Wars or Star Trek. I don't even care about having the latest and greatest gadgets and until recently, I've been using a super super out of date iPhone that wouldn't even let me Instagram!

But, I do adore my geeky friends because they teach me things daily, and I absolutely love the things that are out at the Geeks n Nerds Fair!




FATEplay has some fantastic Doctor Who themed outfits for the fair, and even though I had to Google it to see who Billie was, I do know that I love her outfit! Jeans, a great tee, and an awesome jacket? What's not to love? I'm wearing it in the Original color, but you can also have it in Dark and Autumn, and of course all the pieces mix & match. You will definitely mix the jacket and jeans in with your wardrobe, I can tell you that!

!bang is also out at the Geeks n Nerds Fair with a Geek Speak gacha! These are wearable frames that say various geeky things. Of course, being the book lover that I am, and will always be, this one spoke right to my heart! ♥

The Geeks n Nerds Fair is going on now until December 8th. See ya there, nerds! :)

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

Well, That's What I Saw Her In.

When I put this outfit on, I thought of that line from Mean Girls. "I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops."

There's a big 50% off sale at Coldlogic right now AND there are new releases today, like the Waid top that I'm wearing, that fall under the sale price! It's win win for everyone! Expect my next post to have me covered in Coldlogic!

But today, I wanted to let you all know about a photo contest that's going on!




FATEwear will be releasing soon, and there's a photo contest going on for it! I guess this is mostly for men being that FATEwear is for the guys, but ladies, you know you can get in on it, too. It's super simple. Just pop on over to the store and get into the subscriber. You'll receive the Carter outfit. [I'm wearing the shorts in my picture!] Get in the outfit, take a great picture, and submit it to the FATEdesign flickr group. If you're the winner, you'll receive the ENTIRE launch collection!!

Have fun!

You Don't Need A Mirror To Know You Look Good

If you haven't been to FaMESHed this month, you need to goooo!




JANE has some cute dresses at FaMESHed for June, like this Mary Ellen dress! It's simple and classic. And yes, this is my 2nd JANE post this week. Y que? :-p

The Fairy Tales event opens on Friday, and from what I can tell, it's going to be a lot of fun shopping! I'm wearing the Princess hair from Wasabi Pills for the event and even though I'm not really a short hair kind of girl, I love it! It reminds me of how my hair was cut back when I was around 21. Cute!
