Creating Curb Appeal

Hi there Fabulous Folks! I am switching things up today and am showing you some décor items instead of clothing. I came across a few cute things this weekend that I thought you all might like to hear about. Perhaps you’ll find something you like to spruce up your home in Second Life!

Come On In!

The build you see in my photo is Ranger Rick’s Office which is part of The Hive’s Arcade Gacha offering at 50L per play. To the side of the doorsteps you’ll find a couple of items made by The Ruddy Duck Co. (one of them a dollarbie!), and on the steps a group gift by JIAN and Zen Creations which are both free to join.

JIAN Kitty Shark Bed:

This adorable item is just 2 prims to rez and includes the sleeping kittens inside the bed. Both kittens are texture change as well as the bed and as it is copy, you can rez out as many as you like. You can find this as a free group gift at JIAN with a free group join.

Zen Creations Cape Cod Candles:

The Cape Cod Candles are the latest group gift at Zen Creations. This décor piece is 7 prims and is copy/mod so that you are able rez as many as you like and edit the colour and size to your liking. The Zen Creations group is free to join.

The Ruddy Duck Company:

The Ruddy Duck Co. is a fairly new shop in Second Life and has some really nice outdoor décor items available in their marketplace store including a 1L item. In my photos you’ll find the following…

The Ruddy Duck Co. Pink Hibiscus Bucket: 1L / 5 prims / copy-mod
The Ruddy Duck Co. Rustic Fence w/ Roses: 99L / 4 prims / copy-mod

Summer Yellow

A new summer outfit is always a great thing, especially when it’s something colorful and pretty and has a little bit of lace. I love this pretty yellow lacy top I found with the matching shorts! For just 1L and a little hunting time as part of the Summer Hunt, you may want it too!

Look for the Beach Ball!

I stopped by Prism and hunted around for the beach ball (as per the clue), and when I found it, I also found the beach ball that was the little item I could buy for 1L. I was rewarded with this Milan Citrus outfit package! It includes the shorts and top.

The top comes in the lacy version as well as a more modest version that isn’t see through in the lacy parts (not shown). You’ll get all the standard mesh sizes as well as a fitmesh size for both the top and the bottom.

If you decide to go exploring…

You may have noticed that a couple of my posts have been pictured at the sim Elysion. Just a quick forewarning if you decide to go exploring: it’s a beautiful place for picture taking — lush and exotic and gorgeous. However it is an adult setting and does require a group fee for entrance. Just wanted to make sure I put that out there for those who have adventure on their minds! 🙂

Peace & More Mojitos

Hey there Fabulouses!

This is a short and sweet post today, but I wanted to make sure I stopped in to tell you about a couple of FabFree worthy items I found – one a dollarbie on marketplace and the other a fun group gift!

My Favourite Colour!!!

I feel like I have been showing a ton of swimwear lately, and well I guess it is the season, but I found another fabulous 2pc swimsuit called Scandal you should know about. It’s in my favourite colour (blue!), and is so pretty with the ruffled top and strappy boycut bottoms. This set is available for just 1L in the Dusti’s Odds n Ends Marketplace Store!

Sizes included:

Maitreya
Slink
Belleza
Werewolf

More Mojitos

I can’t believe that I am holding a mojito in my hand again so soon after my wild ride of a girls night with Pru [HERE] and then ugh [HERE], but the new Preocupada Bento Pose by Reel Poses that comes with the floatie and bevvie is the latest group gift, and inspired me to give it another go. The group is just 30L to join.

PEACE!

Nautically Inclined

Ships Ahoy! Look out for land! I admit in real life I never learned to swim, but that never kept me off the boats. I’ve always had a love for boats and everything nautical! I love to fish, rather it be small ponds or deep sea fishing. And you’ll never catch me passing up a boat ride. So this outfit I ran across today, had me really smiling!

Ready to sail.

I’m ready for sailing weather, or even to sit dockside, in my new Sailing Day Outfit by Tam. It only cost me 1L and a little hunting time as part of the June Effects Hunt. I went to the Tam main-store and hunted down the little life preserver and the shorts and top were mine!

It comes in a variety of sizes including:

Standard mesh sizes XS- XL
TMP
Ebody
Maitreya – Lara
Tonic – Curvy & Fine
Slink – Hourglass & Physique
Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

Worth mentioning!

It’s over the 75L limit, but I know you’ll forgive me when you see the deal that I got on my hair! I stopped by the Hairology event which began on June 10th and visited the EMO-tion’s booth. Hair at this booth is 50% off, and I picked up my new Claudia hairstyle for just 122L per pack. It was such a good deal that I wanted to share it with you, even if it was over the usual limit, in case you are a hair fanatic like moi!

Close Your Eyes And Float

SILENCE!

Can you think of anything more relaxing that silently floating in the clear blue sea? I suppose there are a few things that could be “up there”, but for me, not much tops it. The sun warms your skin and the water drowns out all of your worries and cares. The water pretty much forces you to be at peace, because the second you tense up, it sucks you under like it’s trying to teach you a lesson.

Get your own gold bikini!

I am very happily floating in my new Beach Bikini that I picked up for just 1L at Ezmeralda’s for the Summer Lovin Hunt. This Bikini comes with system layers and an omega applier as well as the bows with beads which add on at the hips, back and center of the chest. Until the end of June, you can find the hidden beach ball hunt icon in the store and purchase it for 1L.

This Wild Hair…

My hairstyle is by Tableau Vivant Cocomuel and is one of the styles available at The Arcade Gacha for just 75L per play. The cool thing about these unique hairstyles that are awesome for photography is that they come with bento poses!

Happy hunting… and floating!

Backside

In my days as a skateboarder, they used to call me “Backside” because the 180 backside was my best trick… Ok… truth be told, I had no tricks and they called me “Backside” because that’s where I always landed in attempts. These fun skater poses by [west end] are currently being featured at The Cosmopolitan Sales Room and reminded me of the fun I used to have “trying to skateboard”!

Pick Up! I’m Calling You On My Banana Phone

The banana phone is not necessarily a very effective mode of conversation, however it’s worth a shot when nothing else works and if it still fails at the very least – onlookers will be entertained.

In this blog post I have news about a new group gift at Poeme and also am revisiting Just Ordinary to show off a free instore group gift.

More of the extraordinary

I had recently blogged a Fitmesh Fanatics group gift that is available at Just Ordinary and if you liked that one shown here – you’ll love this one too! The Char Dress in Denim Flowers that you see me wearing today is available as a free gift for Just Ordinary inworld group members (free to join!)

Dress Sizes Included:

Mesh XS – L + Alpha Layer
Fitmesh XS – L
Maitreya
Slink
Belleza
Tonic

Now About Those Shoes…

When you join the Poeme inworld group (has a 1L group join fee), you gain access to the Double Happy Roses Chucks in the floral Rhyme print. They were just what I needed for today’s ensemble, so it was perfect timing that I came by them!

Shoe Sizes Included:

Maitreya
Unrigged + Alpha Layer

Just One Last Thing!

The Endless Summer Hello Sunshine pose that I am using today includes the bananas (for making phone calls of your own) and is available in an instore gacha at 50L per play at Le Poppycock!

Everything Is Coming Up Roses

I feel like a flower in the garden wearing this pretty pink rose printed dress by AdoreZ that I picked up at The Garage Fair.

Will You Accept This Rose?

The Mabel Flower Dress comes in several sizes as listed below so I am sure you’ll find a size to fit you, and the best part is… it’s just 1L! There are a few of those barrels sitting around at the AdoreZ display at The Garage Fair, so take care when you are looking for this dress that you check for the one that is priced at 1L and check the contents first. The others are barrels are priced at 10L and I haven’t checked them out yet, but if this dress is any indication, I am sure they are great too.
