Conversation Hearts

Leave a reply

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!

Just a Snack

Leave a reply

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!

16 Years in Kowloon

Leave a reply

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!

October 19th, 2021 – The Bookstore

Leave a reply

If I ever were to win the lottery, this is exactly the place I would get for myself. A bookstore / cafe, with cats sleeping on pillows all over the place, and maybe a dog or two. In the meantime, I made it in SL, where it’s way more affordable, and almost as relaxing.

With A Little Help From My Friends

Leave a reply

I’m always so excited when I get to support my friends.

NECTARINE – the line brand from my good friend OMGTWF Barbecue is kicking off with a force that is to be reckoned with. As a real life fashion designer she’s stepping her toe into the mesh fashion world with small, deliberate steps that are both quality and really cute.

Cow prints seem to be all the thing lately, as I’ve worn them repeatedly lately. I managed to pair hers with my new shoes from GOS – and I confess the pairing was perfection.

I have this silly little clutch bag, I have no idea where I got it. It makes me happy. But more importantly can we talk about KEVIN? Kevin is my wee little friend that pops around behind me, following me around wherever I go.

He’s new from GRIXDALE and he’s a cute little bean. He bounces about and is available in multiple colors. He’s a perfect little Halloween friend!

Lastly I want to talk about this AMAZING eyeliner from CAZIMI. I picked it up a while back and let me tell you this, I’m in love. You need this.

Today’s finds : the boots from Silvery K I was telling you about yesterday, a cute top from Zoom that I matched with those sexy shorts from Chocolate Mint and glasses from Eclectica, all at Vintage Fair.

Also, Lara Hurley has a new skin out at Equal10, and obviously I had to get it. It’s perfect. Just take a look at those lips, those eyebrows…

Oh hey! remember that post I did yesterday where I told you about that one full outfit I was able to make only with gifts from the FaMESHed anniversary round? Well here’s a second one. The hair, earrings, dress, septum ring, bracelet and shoes are all free from the event!

The gorgeous tattoo is also a gift from this upcoming round of We ♥ RP, that’s also an anniversary round.

Winter Warmth

Leave a reply

Wouldn’t it be lovely to be able to wear all the lovely winter wools and layers and run around in the snow and ice and have your feet stay warm, dry and toasty? Wait,  it’s Second Life and I can. Whee! As someone who grew up in the Minnesota Northwoods – who remembers the joy of touching a frozen metal stair rail with my tongue at age five and recalls my hand sticking to the door handle of my dad’s car, I so love living in a warmer place that seldom sees a flake of snow. But I would have occasional bouts of nostalgia for the sparking beauty of winter snow, of hoarfrost on the trees and all the loveliness that winter brings. Second Life gives me a taste of that without the chapped lips and runny nose.  And so I can dress for these winter wonderlands in lovely wools such as this Zona Cero coat and this Boom sweater.
