Uptown Girl

I headed out to the city today to do a little shopping and maybe grab a bite somewhere. How’s your Saturday?

While I do have a host of vehicles I love to drive around, nothing beats the subway for getting around when you’re in a big metro area. And in my pixel life, no one is pooping on the floor during my ride so that’s a plus!!

I’m hitting the town in this adorable new headband from SparkleSkye for the Saturday sale. It comes in vivid or pastels and it’s really just too cute to pass up. I hope you hop over there to get it.

Conversation Hearts

I have a deeply etched love for creators who tell you what the free gift is that they’re giving away at events. Today I’m celebrating three of these champions from Shop & Hop who pulled me in with their cute offering.

Why does it matter so much what your free gift is? Well, technically it doesn’t. But I don’t want to pick up a bunch of random stuff, honestly. I look at free gifts as a chance to check out your work for free, and I do go back and patronize those folks whose work I like. No one owes me a free gift, and I do truly appreciate them. But those champs who show what the items are – well you’re the true MVP folks.

These conversation heart jeans are a great example. While I was wandering through this booth, I saw them and my first thought was “Man, I wish those were the free gift!” and holy shit they were!

Are the seams perfect down the side? NO. It was FREE I don’t really care that they don’t dork around with the texture to match it up in this instance. The waist and the button, fly etc look fine and honestly it’s conversation heart jeans – so cute. I’m not too precious to sweat the seam on this.

My sweater is a little fuzzy but I like to think that’s because it’s cashmere. Right?

Free shoes, shirt and pants courtesy of find folks at Shop & Hop. I need to finish my run through it tomorrow to see what other goodies can be found!

Back to Exploring

I heard there was a new place to check out for wine and treats and had to make my way over there. When I landed, I was a little perplexed that the only way down was via skylift. I wasn’t really dressed for it, but I did have panties on so no roaming werewolves were getting a show and I decided to just go for it and see what happened.

It’s a really adorable little village, and I was able to pick some things up while I was there. Now you might see that alpha collision with the window and my hair. There are people who want to act like that is some sort of photo catastrophe. You know what that is? That’s what it looks like in SL. This will be your experience too most likely and you aren’t going to die because of it. I suppose if you have some photoshop foo and you wanna try to fix it well that’s cool and good for you, but I don’t and I don’t think it’s wrong to show things on the grid the way you are going to experience them.

This rant brought to you by memories of someone who once ranted at me about a photo that had alpha halos.

Other parts of this build were also beautiful, although strange when coupled with the city build. I guess I need to maybe read what it’s supposed to be or something. Maybe.

I don’t know. I got some wine, that was really my goal. Now – time to get back to the skylift!!

In Candytopia It’s All Sweet

Candytopia feels like I place I should have been before now but somehow I’ve failed to go. I made amends for this today by going and actually even checking out their fun game. It’s like the worlds biggest candy land and you can walk through all of the beautiful lands as you progress – and even get a treat here or there.

You know I was loving that!

There are treats and snacks along the way and everything would meet Willie Wonka’s criteria of being edible, eatable – YOU CAN EAT IT!

At the end of course I was the winner as I was playing alone but that didn’t stop me from sitting in the King’s throne for a bit.

How’s your Sunday?

Comfy Shoe Exploring

My friend’s sim Aurelias was recently reopened with an entirely new build and it’s a sweet little blogger paradise with all of it’s wonderful details and scenery.

It’s a lovely place just to BE as well. I could just spend time here being me and enjoying the scenery honestly. It’s so comforting to be in a space that feels so good to be in.

What I found really magical was the level of detail that was put into creating this build.

Look at these adorable little mice in the clock. This is the kind of just wonderful detail that makes this sim worth every little inch of discovery time.

They also built a rainy swampy area that is really spectacular. I’ve been a big fan of any kind of rain in SL forever but clearly it’s improved over time. It’s a great look.

Where did you explore lately?

Christmas Fries

I’ve been missing from the grid for several weeks due to an internet issue that was blocking me from accessing. We got an upgrade and suddenly I couldn’t connect. Annoying, let me tell you.

But eventually I landed back in my house and found Christmas in full swing which means it’s time to decorate and get SUPER happy. I love Halloween but right behind that is the wintery joy that Christmas brings, even to my island paradise.

I picked up this hilarious Elf Fries from Junk Food. It’s the time of year for the silliest of treats and you know I’m here for it.

What’s your methodology for Shop & Hop? Do you go to it? I have a strict rule of always walking in the same direction with either my left or right shoulder facing the shops. I just keep going until I finally get back to wherever I started – if I can remember where that is, of course.

I messed up the other day and when I logged in I chose to log in at home, which meant I had no idea where I’d left off. Oooops. It’s so overwhelming and huge. I’m also not a fan of booths with too much brown. Bad textures are bleh but omg when everything is brown I’m just so done. I know that’s probably silly, but we all have our thing, don’t we?

Now I post this pic with lots of brown because my likes are duplicitous and without reason.

But besides that, I’m back! YAY!

Bell Hop

I headed over to New Orleans for a night or two but the place is in complete disarray. Not the sort of “there are beads, trash and pee everywhere” disarray that one might normally expect in such a place but rather, just trashed. There seemed to be a lot of random people wandering aimlessly too. I’m not sure what exactly is going on, really.

I was excited for a delicious drink from one of my favorite creators – FLAIR from the Halloween Shop and Hop. Do you LOVE Shop and Hop? I legitimately do. I got this adorable hair stick there too.

True story I love hair sticks and was actually introduced to them in SL as an accessory, so I covet them in both lives.

Speaking of Shop and Hop – I’m not done there! Time to get walking…

Surfside Sunday

I know your feeds have been awash with black and orange and blood and guts the past two weeks, and I’ll probably contribute some but today was just too perfect not to hit the beach.

If you can, you should.

I can, so I did.

My entire ass is hanging out of this bikini. I was very popular at the beach, lemme tell you.

Happy Sunday, I’m looking forward to the ghoulish, creepy holiday coming up. What is your costume? I JUST got mine. I’m pretty excited! No I won’t tell, not yet!

Let’s make it a great week girls.

Just a Snack

Today I set out to do some exploring and found a lovely little restaurant serving amazing treats for those who ventured inside. I grabbed a vanilla shake, not intending to stay long but was soon coerced into making my stay good for lunch too.

I started with my pie rather than my burger. CAN YOU EVEN BLAME ME? I mean look at these servings. I wanted to make sure I got the pie in before I bothered with the burger. a burger is a burger but a pie, man alive a pie is life.

I confess that I did not eat all of either thing but then wandered over to their ice cream offering where not only did I find a cupcake for sale that definitely appealed but then of course there was the question of the ice cream itself. I might die of diabetes at this rate but at least I’ll die happy.

I wandered around a bit and lucked into finding a little farmers market so I grabbed some necessary supplies before heading home. How was your Sunday? I hope it was filled with beautiful things!
