Somewhere Beyond the Sea

Beach season has perched itself firmly in my spirit.  I live not far from a beach in RL, but it’s not the kind of beach that we all dream of – soft sand, crashing waves, and warm waters.  It’s more of a thin ribbon of sand leading you to icy cold depths.  I’m not complaining one bit – it’s a beautiful lake – but I always wished for something traditionally beachy.  I get my traditional beach-bound moments in SL, I guess!

Choices

Seniha have been spoiling group members recently!  Pru showed you a recent group gift HERE which is still available, and now they’re getting us ready for the beach with their newest group gift!  The Ariana bikini comes with lots and lots of texture options in the HUD, which allows you to switch the top and bottom separately for your own look.  There are nautical stripes, tropical flowers, and even solids.  Your mixing and matching will never get tiring!  To get this lovely gift, just join the Seniha group for free, and click on the vendor near the entrance.

An Exploration of Nature

When I was little, my parents often took me to parks and conservation centres to explore.  I loved walking on little hidden paths through the woods where you could imagine that there were no people about, and that you were the first to discover this place.   I loved the quiet peace of these parks, and trying to block out the noise of the city (even though it’s a bit quieter than usual right now!) is something I’m working on in my mind today.  Where’s your peaceful spot in SL?

Still Staying at Home

I know the days seem to be going on and on, but I hope you’re all out there staying strong and staying safe.  Happily, The Stay at Home Club continues to drop awesome gifts on us every single day!  How cool is that?  I’m showing off two items today that were recently added, and they’ve got me feeling spring-like and cheerful.  Here’s what I’ve got going on:

• FREE top and skirt from Ghee sized for Legacy and Maitreya
• FREE pose by OMY with 3 different poses in the box

No group join required for these cool gifts, and don’t forget to check out the Stay at Home Club’s website for all their newest additions!

Ah, the joys of Spring…

Remember Oubliette!

There are new lucky boards at Oubliette (and Petite Mort too)!  I got this lovely boho dress there, the tie-dyed awesomeness really calling to me from afar.  There are lots of pretty things on the boards that I’m sure will catch your eye, and all you have to do to get them is join the Oubliette/Petite Mort group for free, and wait for your letter to come up.

Lavendula Angustifolia

There’s nothing I love more than Lavender.  It’s been an important part of my life for years and years.  I love the way it looks, the way it smells, and all the memories it brings back of trips I took to the South of France.  I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before here, but I’m the kind of person who has a little sachet of the stuff under my pillow to ensure sweet dreams.  I get to decorate my home in it in SL, and that brings me just a little spark of joy!

Wash it Up!

The Wash Event continues, and really the more you explore the more you find!  I couldn’t resist these gorgeous decor items by Kaerri.  The elegant chairs are the things that dreams are made of for me, and the fact that each decor item cost only 25L is a deal and a half.  I got the chairs, curtains, mirror, and planters there and I couldn’t be happier!  There are a bunch of other items too, including a table and lots of little plants.  I can just imagine the scent!

Clothed in Comfort

While I was at The Wash, I also picked up this sweet outfit by Shae’s.  The top and jeans cost just 25L each, and they are a perfect fit.  I love the way it all looks on – the perfect mix of comfort and sexy.  There are a bunch of different colours to choose from, as well as different jean washes to satisfy all your denim cravings.  You can even pick up the matching shoes to the set for just 50L at their display.

Spring in your Skivvies!

My darling readers, did you know that it actually got to double digits today?  Yes, the sun decided to appear and things felt decidedly springlike, which in my world means “pull out the bikini”.  Or even, “cavort in your underclothes in a field”.  It’s SL, I do what I want!

The Call of the Wild

Spring madness is probably upon me right now, since I am clearly under dressed for the outside world, but I care not!  I got this pretty lingerie (or perhaps is it a bikini?) set over at Tachinni.  Their group is 15L to join at this time, so it’s a deal and a half!  Head on over there and pick it up!  Then come hang out in a random field too!  Doesn’t that sound like a plan?

Keep on Celebrating

I am still channeling the magic of the cinnamon heart today.  To be fair, February is a month that needs a whole bunch of pick-me-ups to get through it.  That’s probably why there are so many celebrations around this time of year.  There’s Valentine’s Day, Carnaval, and even the 100th day of school to get you through the often dreary days!

Still Heart-Covered

I will for sure be wearing this awesome dress a whole lot, because come on…check out that harness work!  Love!  I picked this up over at Safira as their latest group gift (haven’t they been hitting it out of the park recently?).  To get it, join their group for 50L and click on the vendor – grab the bajillion other group gifts while you’re there too, and you’ll be unpacking for ages!

Fluffy and Fine

I’m all about the massive fluffy jackets right now, and today I found a fantastic iteration of the relentlessly chic look!

Gacha Covered

This round of Kustom9 is, as per usual, full of things I want to spend my Lindens on.  Amitomo always calls out to me with their awesome creations.  Their Merry and Bright gacha is just 69L per pull, and most of the prizes are complete outfits.  I got the coat and dress on the first pull, and the hair just 2 pulls later.  You’re sure to walk away with a fantastic outfit for very few lindens.  Also, you can make the dress disappear with the HUD if you want to wear the coat on its own!  This gacha comes sized for Maitreya bodies.

Good Luck!

Life is a Snowglobe

Ah, the glories of winter!  In RL, winter right now is a brown earth and grey skies kind of an affair, and it’s not exactly what I would classify as pretty.  So, I’m nipping inworld to enjoy the snowglobe effect of the gorgeous Luane’s World.  Best of all, I don’t have to shovel any of this!

Round to the Circle

I headed back to Designer Circle again because there was another fantastic gift I wanted to show you.  My entire outfit – top, skirt and boots – are courtesy of Apple Heart.  I love a good winter white, and this outfit is pretty perfect.  Happily, it’s also completely free!  No group join required either, so go pick it up before this round ends!
