Can never have too many homes in second life!

I have a tendency to purchase different houses. Most are skyboxes because I love my privacy. Some I love and keep up for a while and some I put up and take down after a couple of days. Even though this is our virtual life, I think we should feel comfy in the place we call home. I think I found my new home at collabor88! BarnesworthAnubis made a truly delicious skybox, Stockholm Attic Skybox. The details are amazing and it is just so cozy! You have the option to purchase the skybox sans furniture, but I went ahead and got the whole deal because the price was right. I don’t use sl furniture that often, so if you really like to chill on a couch or bed, you may find it a bit limited for your tastes. However, for my tastes and my sl life, it was perfect. I used a standard sit from my AO for the bed shot, but I really wanted to get a view of the window behind me.

I feel like nesting lol. Time to add some of my own stuff and decorate 😉

Starving!

Today I woke up starving for something new! As soon as the traffic died down, I headed over to faMESHed and found a few tasty treats. Mesh is so popular now, and faMESHed is a monthly event that features all that is mesh. Needless to say, I dropped some lindens there, but I absolutely adore mesh. Sometimes it seems it only looks really good when we are standing still, but it’s still relatively new for some designers, so I predict all those little glitches will disappear.

I love maxi skirts and casual tanks, so this outfit was perfect for my preferred styling. I found out it doesn’t work that well when walking or with shoes, but that may be because I was too lazy to dig up some shoes. Oops! Seriously the skirt doesn’t look quite right when walking, but it is such a pretty design, I’m content to just stand there and look cute 😛

I finally rezzed the Palm Springs skybox\house that I found from collabor88. I don’t particularly like SL furniture, so my little skybox is bare. However it suits my needs if I need a place to style an outfit 😉 I once walked into a couple having sex on my furniture, so I refuse to furnish any home lol. Here is a little peek at the box. If you don’t regularly go to collabor88, you absolutely have to go and check it out. You can find some amazing deals there, so click that link! Thier collections change, so if you ever seen an item you absolutely have to have in any blog…better run to get it 😀

I’m a lil Teapot!

I was doing a bit of summer cleaning in my inventory, and I ran across this adorable pose prop from Baffle! It was a hunt item from some time ago, so it must have been quite the bargain!  I thought it went along with my newest find. *LpD* came out with the cutest makeup ever! It is so doll-like and cartoonish at the same time!

I paired the makeup and hat with an *LpD* mini dress. I’m such a girly girl, and the Moment dress is so deliciously girly. Yummmy!

Another Fashion Collector!

I’ve been playing around in Second Life for some time now, and one of my favorite pastimes is collecting new items to fill up my inventory. Actually, I do try to keep my inventory down to a respectable level, but that hasn’t stopped me from finding and purchasing new clothes, shoes, jewelry….actually… anything! I especially love places such as The Dressing Room and Collabor8 because a lot of amazing designers offer their creations for minimal lindens. Which is always super nice! What’s better than minimal? Free! Loads of designers also have hunts for their customers and items are often free. Not so bad! So hunts and bargain shop items usually find their way into my inventory, but like any true shopaholic, I do not let prices stop me when I see something Imusthave.

Thus the reason for this blog. We all have the opportunity to use blogs to spread our word, so I’m going to use this new blog as my fashion dairy. Totally another fashion blog, but I love to collect beautiful things…so why not? 😉

Purple Moon Styling Challenge Fun

I teach a blog class in SL, and I try and come up with assignments that are appropriate, fun, and related to my employer, Classic With Style, so I was so happy to see a styling photo challenge with one of the designers who has a satellite shop in the CWS Fashion District.

Purple Moon has always been one of my favorites due to her style and use of textures and colors. The designer seems to explore one of my favorite styles too….I love that Boho Chic look! So it’s very cool to see a styling challenge that asks people to create their version of different style choices. I am already a fan of photography challenges. I always take my own photos, when I am able, and I like to spend a lot of my free SL time taking pictures around the grid. Of course I love to play grown up virtual Barbie too…so yay! Challenges like this are always fun. I’m going to try and add the PM Challenge as an advanced homework assignment. I only teach what I do, so it was only fair that I did the same. I had a total blast!

This is what I came up with for the four challenges.  I posted my descriptions on my Flickr page if you want the dirty details. Too much fun lol 😀

I didn’t need a passport to travel to this solAria, which is awesome because I don’t have one! I recommend taking a day trip here because it really is a beautiful sim. Just don’t try talking to the locals. They are only there for show 😉

My next picture, I took on top of my skybox. I used to have a little pink house on my property, but I kept getting visits from a “neighbor” who dressed as as furry rabbit. After his last unexpected visit….I was in the middle of dressing my avi and only had on a top…I moved a place up to the heavens to style and stare at my walls in peace. On top of that, I have my ghetto photostudio…which is two large prims. Hey it’s free and gets the job done! I used this fabulous texture from !dM deviousMind which is one of my favorite places to browse.

Now my next look, I wanted stark white buildings as a backdrop and I also wanted to start using more of SL’s, shall we say, natural resources. I remembered I once went to a modern day Paris sim, so I searched it out. 😀 

My last trip was also to Paris, but old time Paris! I love love love this sim. I am in the USA, and I don’t have a passport, so I have not been able to travel the world…yet 😉 Until then I go to places in SL. I really loved this location and the plane overhead added to my pose. I imagined a Cinderella type woman who needed to run home in the wee morning and a plane startles her…lol…I have a vivid imagination 😉

Styling Suicide Girl

Last night one of my friends, Rhea, mentioned she was taking pictures for a Suicide Girls Flickr group, so I thought that would be fun to try myself! I love tattoos in real life, and I do have three, but I always wanted to get more. I’m too chicken because … well… real life tattoos are for real 😉 So I let myself go under the ink pen in SL. I didn’t do the piercings because 1) I didn’t have them in my inventory, and 2) I didn’t want to purchase what I would rarely wear.
This is also my contribution for my advanced blogging class. I tell my students to do assignments so I best do them too! However, I cheated because I used a small amount of PS to smooth out the sharp edges on my thigh and torso, and I asked them to produce a stunning snapshot using only SL means. Still the Glitterati Justified Couch I’m laying on is awesome. I have a freakishly tall avi, so I’m pretty sure it is totally my height.

Dazzler’s Charity Event

I don’t get out much, but when I do get out, I love to watch dance performances! A few of my fellow cheer friends are part of Second Life’s Dazzlers Inc., so it was great to see them perform. It was a burlesque ballet theme, and it was also a charity event for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. I had to leave early, but caught a few pics from the show. There is so much to do in Second Life! I need to get out more 😀
