I’m still loving the new things at Collabor88. This dress and coat from Emery work together beautifully. I’m wearing the Amberly 2 skin from Glam Affair, and these boots from Decoy. My earrings and scarf are from LaGyo. This theme is really suiting me. I can’t wait to put more outfits together!

Rust and Supernova Stardust at Collabor88

Collabor88 brings us many exciting things each month and this month you sorta get double the Collabor88 because Collabor88 brought us Prom.. and it’s a Supernova prom and each designer brought a “Date..”.

This skin is from Atomic, it’s the new “Muse” skin and I like it a lot and it even comes with a few starry lip options. It’s a cute skin. I’m also wearing hair from D!va and this planetary necklace from Yummy!

These poses are a collaboration of Decoy and Exposeur poses and they are quite cute and there are I think six of them with right and left options and these cute balloons to hold. The dress is from Ane, which is a new to me store but I really like these dresses and the boots from Ingenue go perfectly because they were each others date!

Today was a happy day for me. I spent time with Auto, and we took a few photos using two poses from Rack Poses. Rack Poses is going to be one of the stores in the Wayward Hunt coming March 7th.

fall

“You’ll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it’s gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It’s like you feel homesick for a place that doesn’t even exist. Maybe it’s like this rite of passage, you know. You won’t ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it’s like a cycle or something. I don’t know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that’s all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.” The Garden State

Crafty Sunday Afternoon’s spell L-O-V-E!

1

It was a typical Sunday and Ryleigh and I were looking for something to do. I had seen something on SLPinteresting – on one of the boards of arts and crafts that you can do with your child and I thought that it would be fun to try, plus we both love the excuse to get out the paint. This was not a thing to do indoors so we went into the greenhouse – which is new from Vespertine at Collabor88.

2

I put out some old newspapers, and she watched me sitting on the table wondering what I was planning giggling when I used the paint brush to paint my hand! She watched as I first painted the Letter L and she is very smart so she recognized the letter right away. After I did that I put my hand down on to the red paper. She sounded out the L and smiled when I told her that she got it right and then I picked her up and put her in the chair.

4

I said give me those piggies! She laved and shook her head no but smiled really big when I explained that I was going to paint her feet! I told her that we were going to spelling out the word love with my hand as the O and her feet to make the V and she wiggled her toes and giggled and as I painted her feet, it was pretty ticklish!

3

I picked her up as not to get the paint everywhere and helped her step on to the paper to make her foot prints form a V holding her hands up to give her balance. She pressed her feet on the paper and made a perfect V! I painted the E in after that and we stepped back for a moment to look at our work.

5

The craft had turned out adorable and we decided to find a place for it in the house. But first we wanted a snapshot of ourselves – to show off our little project! After the paint dries we will find a place for it in our new home!

I am wearing – A white mesh tank top from Decoy at Collabor88 along with a pendant from Noodles – the Millie Rose pendant is also available right now at August’s Collabor88. I’m also wearing jeans from Maitreya, my hair is older E! hair.

The gardening set in the back ground you can get at the Dream Garden from Petite Bowtique.

The outfit that Ryleigh is wearing from Baby Pie is from Limited 50 along with the pose set from .click that we used but those are all sold out but you can still find some really nice limited edition items if you teleport to the Limited 50 event going on here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Jubilee/154/94/23

Mid Summer Nights at Collabor88 begins soon!

ms

Tomorrow Collabor88 starts a new round and the theme for the month of July is “Mid Summer Night”. I’m very excited about this round and have seen a few things so far that I love. Two of them are in this post! This bed from Tableau Viviant and this dress from Decoy.

I look forward to Collabor88 every month and always love the things that come from it. I think next month Collabor88 will turn two years old! I look forward to seeing what else comes about this round – and I especially like the theme. The best time I’ve found to go to Collabor88 when it first opens is early morning, there are still many people but I’ve found that to be the easiest time!

Time is running out to check out Global Domination and I wanted to remind you that you only have a few day’s left and you don’t want to miss out on these awesome prizes. The hair that I’m wearing from the Alice Project, the set of mesh shirts from Decoy and this beautiful mesh lounge that I’m sitting on in this post from Trompe Loeil. You really need to get to one of the locations and check this out before you can’t anymore. So get over and get ready to dominate that globe while you still can!

The Arcade, Gacha, Gacha Madness!

lifesizearcade2sitting

Gacha, gacha, gacha at the Arcade has run rampant in second life this weekend and I’ve relieved feelings of going to carnivals from my childhood. The Arcade Gacha is quite an intoxicating experience.

No idea what it is but it’s a combination of the music, and the carpeting and the sound of seagulls that makes me throw caution to the wind and spend! spend! spend! Everything except for my jeans that are from Decoy in the photos above can be won form the machines.

I took some extras that I had from the Pilot Christmas Village and made them huge for this background in my photos, just a word though make sure you have a lot of prims available if you do this because it takes a lot of land impact to make them huge.

I wanted to enter the Gacha photo contest and you can find more info on that here: http://thearcadesl.com/contest. I had a lot of fun taking these photos.

My poses are from the Gacha machines from Adorkable and !bang. My sweater is from tulip, my boots/socks are from Boom, my hair is from Clawtooh, my satchel bag is from The Secret Store, my scarf is from Fatewear and my skin is from Glam Affair and all that is from the machines at the Arcade Gacha located on the Country Club Sim.

Scorpio has arrived!

I can’t say for sure why, but it seems just yesterday it was the start of the year.. and now we are already knee deep in October with the Zodiac season of Scorpio to take over. Where did this year go? That is kind of how a Scorpio hits you. When you meet them they are the kind to slowly sink into your psyche little by little until bam they are all up in your face and you are stung with allure. Scorpios can be quite unexpected and intoxicating!

Anyhow.. *ahem* I am wearing this glorious new Steph 2 hair from the Alice Project available this round of Zodiac.. with more hair color options than even I know what to do with. I loved how I could change several parts of the hair.

Lassitude and Ennui also had this key necklace for Scorpio which went well with the light blue of this strapless top from Pink Outfitters which comes in two other colors as well. The tattoo that I have on is the Cosaintoir Daingean Tattoo from Collisions which has an intricate back piece to it that is not shown in my post.

I am also wearing these very cute mesh boots from Decoy that have the option of showing the Scorpio symbol or hiding it. The boots are so very cute on. My poses are from Exposeur for this round of Zodiac and are a part of the “She’s Crafty” set.

Not apart of Zodiac but still fabulous that I am wearing is: Skin from Glam Affair. Skirt from Mon Tissu and tights from Izzies. (Also) Just about all my furniture/house in the background is from the Loft.
