Sunday Morning Stroll

It was a beautiful morning for a stroll around the sim, and I couldn’t resist dragging out the new stroller I recently picked up. Now that we have wide spaces for walks and beautiful parks, it’s perfect. I like that you wear it, so it doesn’t matter that it’s a bajillion land impact.

The sim is beautifully landscaped and I have to admit, it’s like paradise to wander around. Lovely boardwalks, great shopping and lovely little cafe tables abound all around. Beach surrounds it all, it’s kind of Gidgey paradise. Continue reading

Flowers In My Attic (not in THE attic)

sep21_003

 

Please don’t confuse Flower in My Attic with the books. This recent My Attic cycle is a celebration of beauty and the effervescent abundance of flowers. Is there anyone who is not moved by the sheer exuberance of flowers? Isn’t it wonderful that these plants have such a lovely, giving way to propagate? Of course, since I love pose props, I had to check out Whimsy Winx’s latest for My Attic and her attic does not disappoint, though really, someone should pick up once in a while. There are papers all over the floor. I was also playing around with a projector I am working on to sell on Marketplace. It’s not done yet because I am still thinking about whether I have the spacing right. Yes, it’s just 1 prim with a texture, but I can still have creative difficulties like a real creator, hahaha!!

This outfit is from Lacuna and is also for My Attic (the floral shorts could be considered a clue). Because it’s an extra special cool top, you get two versions. This top is peach and jade. The other is jade and peach.  I had to add 2 notches to the gravity on my breasts to fit it, but perhaps I notched them up a bit for something else.

Cute flowers, not creepy flowers

Whimsy's garret (4)

Happy Sunday! I was seduced by all the pastel cuteness at My Attic, and especially Whimsy’s cool WinxBox, made specially for the event. I played happily in it for a while last night, enjoying all of the sit positions and different wall textures. It suited the My Attic theme, which was “Flowers in my attic.” Luckily this was interpreted literally (flowers on things, including hair and pants) instead of metaphorically. There were no incestuous relationships or abusive grandparents for sale (did you know that the book has a drinking game?). More photos, including Jackal’s elegantly lacy Slink add-on pumps for The Boutique, behind the cut.

Sakide’s Delhi dress for Marquis Market is a real head-spinning confection. It comes with a hud filled with as many color options as an ice cream counter. The dresses remind me a bit of ice cream with their ombre colors coming from brilliant fresh scoops of color in 14 flavors. Add the classic summer cut and the great fit and, really, what more could you ask?

A Life of Luxuria

It’s a great day when you wake up and realize one of your favorite stores is BACK.

Luxuria, the amazing brand of lingerie and other wonders has returned! I think that until maybe some time this year, I was STILL wearing their releases in skin posts and the bedroom slippers until mesh shoes finally made them obsolete.

Fashionistas are always looking for lingerie, and these new releases should keep us full of girly goodness for a few weeks.

I had a happy face all morning getting ready for my pixel day. Continue reading

New azure jewelry set from Ellabella, and stuff

Detail: Ellabella necklace

Yesterday, late at night, I looked at this lovely blog and realized that I had things to say! But none of them were more important than Cajsa’s post, in which she described all of the articles that she’s written for AVENUE this month. I am partway through that list, and have the cool article about Bryn Oh bookmarked for later. So awesome!

Then I wanted to post something here this morning, and Gidge was already awake and looking pulled-together and gorgeous, like the organized working mom she is.

But I had things to say too, and I wondered what to do with them. My fingers kind of wandered for me, and I opened up a dusty blog named achariya.net. “Huh,” I thought. “I have stuff to say here again.” So I actually…posted on my own blog for a change. That doesn’t mean the fine women at IOF are off the hook! I will continue to bug everyone over here too! And I don’t really know what I want to do with that space yet. Maybe I’ll post once a month. Maybe I’ll only photo other people. The possibilities are vast…

Oh and look at my pretty new necklace from Ellabella for Genre (photo above) and a sim where I’m about to go shop like mad (photo below).
