October Sky

Ah…October.  Welcome back, so happy to see you again.

A new season means a remodel of my SL home and land, and Autumn is my favorite.  I love those grey skies, chilly mornings, colorful leaves…everything!

For my new outdoor space, I wanted to make it cozy and warm with plenty of options for entertaining.  Have you seen the backyard cinema set by Cheeky Pea and Pilot at Collabor88?  It’s amazing!  I’ve seen something similar on Pinterest and dreamed of having something like it one day, so I’m excited to make it a part of my SL!

The Metamorphosis House by Vespertine is cozy and mid-century fabulous, and I tried to reflect that with my decor. I love that there is an abundance of furniture on the grid to work with the theme.

It’s a chilly, rainy morning here in the real world. I’d love to be snuggled up in this house with some hot cider, a good book, and soft, crackly music playing on the turntable. Magical!

Mon Tissu Contest

Hi!

Tonight is the deadline for the Mon Tissu Blogger Search contest, and I couldn’t resist giving it a go.  It’s my favorite store on the grid, a virtual Anthropologie!  How can you not love that?  The contest ends at midnight, so you still have time to throw your hat into the ring.  There are some amazing entries!  Even if you don’t enter, take a moment to look at the beautiful work everyone has done in the Mon Tissu Flickr group.

These were already posted on my Flickr account, but I wanted to post the looks here.  It’s not often I venture out to do “on-location” shots, so I thought I’d share the lovely locations in case you’re looking for a new spot for photos!

Gacha Mania

Happy weekend!  The awesome gacha event The Arcade opened, and it seems most of SL (myself included) has gone gacha crazy!  Crazy in the best way, of course.  There are so many amazing items at the event, who could blame us?

The event is being covered everywhere, so I’m not posting anything detailed tonight.  Just a quick shot of some of my favorite scores!

Color Me Impressed

Can we take a moment to talk about colored jeans?

Color Me Impressed (01)

I love them!  I’m so excited that colored jeans have made a comeback in the real world.  I’m a child of the 80s who spent her youth decked-out in an array of colored pants (or everything, really), from neon to jewel tones.  I think that’s why I still love color so much today.

Luckily for me (and you!), there have been plenty of excellent colored jeans released in SL recently.
