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!

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!

I was hungry and decided to go rolling around until i found some free food – which I did in SPADES. YEAH baby free turkey burger. I have to feed this thick body, don’t want her to get skinny.
This spot was really fun, it was a seaside boardwalk area with rides and lots of interactive fun to enjoy. It’s called Dark Dreams and if you’re interested in checking it out – pop over to this spot.
I have to admit, I was pretty obsessed with food and drink while I was there.
But sitting by this ocean view, how can I even be sorry about it? I can’t. Plus I’m really hungry – all the time.
I’m not even sorry. This is dessert and a drink. No, really.
If you’ve never been to Kowloon, you’re missing out on an amazing adventure of a build. It’s celebrating 16 years as a community and I highly recommend it. I come here and wander the alleys, the stairs that sometimes go somewhere awful and sometimes go nowhere. I grab a bite to eat and maybe pick up a black market item or two if it suits me.
Sometimes the blogger in me is just here for the gorgeous vignettes that seem to perfectly suited to photos.
The real world Kowloon is not such a great story.
Much like it’s real life inspiration, it is a place for outlaws and those who would not conform. You can read about it here . It no longer exists, but we can visit this homage on the Grid. This Second Life build is celebrating 16 years!
If you’re a regular, you will know where to find a great spot with lots of amazing local cuisine to enjoy in privacy, away for the squalor of the streets below. It’s probably not even all longpig…
Just joking it’s real pig. Mostly.
Today I’m wearing almost exclusively vintage stuff I found digging around my closet. FITMESH! Remember that? Eh it doesn’t fit so well anymore but it works out. Do you wear your old things? WHY NOT? Get your linden’s worth!

Did you know that capybaras are an animal that can live with all kinds of other animals. It’s a very nurturing, friendly little creature, although not so little. They’re like this great big guinea pigs who just love everybody and are gentle and sweet.
I’m kind of a huge fan.
I had a very busy week, and am just a lazy girl today. I didn’t even get dressed. How is your weekend going?

I stepped into an alternate world after reading an article Cajsa wrote!
It was beautiful and amazing, I would 10/10 go back without a doubt. They even say they have residential areas which I cannot imagine what they are like. Please let them be like this?
This was a beautiful wander through a magical build, and I met some people on the way who were as entranced by it as I was. I love these elephants. They are very excited to meet me too!
At the end of the walk were these quintessential SL chairs that have been re-imagined as beautiful and with great poses. I just had to stay awhile and enjoy the ever present peace and calm. It was amazing. Plus, is that the universe rolling around me? Yes – it is.
Makeup today is courtesy of Alaska Metro and if you don’t stalk her lucky chairs you’re a fool! A FOOL I SAY!
Happy Sunday Girls! Hope it was great!

We picked up a new little boat that has a built in grill and decided it was as perfect way to end our lazy Saturday. It was an absolute steal at the Saturday Sale from MADPEA and it has both a floaty and drivable version if you’re feeling like tooling around.
For us, we were content to cook our dinner and watch the sunset off the coast of Bellisseria this evening. It was a pretty good way to end the day.
If you don’t have a bikini, lingerie is also a valid bikini, fyi.
Aliana is feeling pretty cute this evening too.
Happy Saturday everyone!

I found the MOST adorable spot, a little village that has tons of vehicle rezzers for anyone to use, from bicycles to hot air balloons and lots in between, you can dork around in your vehicle of choice. As you can guess, I chose this classic Corvette. Just had to. It popped out in this gorgeous yellow and I couldn’t resist driving over this amazing bridge build to see what was on the other side!
I landed at a seaside seafood shack and I was starving – as always – so I popped in for some fresh octopus.
It was a little more wiggly than I’d normally care for but I’m so hungry – and they had free sodas so why not. I can make it work right?
They were also offering free umbrella drinks and you know how I feel about that. Bring it ON. Of course then I ended up staying far longer than I meant to, riding rides and taking a hot air balloon right. All in all, it was the sort of day that reminds me of how much fun resident built areas can be when they are done with love.
I’m definitely coming back here. Link the fashion details below.
Yes I am trying to steal this car. Wish me luck…

I love a new vehicle, I think I love vehicles almost as much as I love food. This winner from 777 is a gift at Shop n Hop and you can pick it up here . Like everything they make it’s great quality, and Aliana and I had a great time cruising around the beach before our early morning picnic.
777 added a cute little addition, this kitty has stowed away in our picnic basket. I hope he didn’t eat our donuts. That was our only sustenance for the morning!
A fun addition for our beachy morning.
We’re matchy matchy today in our outfits from Addams, also from Shop n Hop event. This little set is awesome, as it has a ton of textures in it – they’re giving you a fatpack for free with a great summer outfit. That’s so sweet of them.
Aliana grabbed this adorable free hair at Hair Fair which is still going on until July 2! Don’t miss out on the great free hairs and there are so many beautiful things to buy and it’s a great opportunity to support a wonderful cause.
