And Amber Waves

It is the turning of the seasons around the world. Where I now live, spring is just beginning. For my homeland, autumn is slowly creeping in to wear its wardrobe of reds, golds and burnt oranges before winter steals the warmth from the winds. It is the season I miss most; the season for which I have always felt an affinity.

*Just BECAUSE* has released this autumn dress at the current round of Uber. I chose this particular colour to blend into the autumn season. The season of transition, change and amber waves.

Wild Roses In The Snow

[ keke ] has released several flowers over the past few months, but these wild roses are by far my favourites. From the variety (nine different stems/groups in each pack) to the painstaking detail to the sheer beauty, they are simply exquisite. There are four colour groups – blush, purple, white and pink – but the pink is definitely my first choice. Depending on the light, they are either a subtle pink or a much deeper colour – in fact, almost red.

You can find these lovely roses at Lost & Found through October 1st.

The Second (Almost) Annual UnEVENTful Challenge

I hadn’t planned on doing a second post today, but it’s turning into a day of seconds.

Earlier, in the SL Blogger Support group chat in world, we got into a spirited discussion about “the old days,” back before shopping events became the way to shop. About the competition to find the latest, best, newest releases and the race to be the first to blog them. About grid-hopping parties, where someone would take the lead and mass TP a group of followers all around the grid. Yes, those good old days…

During the course of the conversation, I mentioned that a while ago (unbelievably to me, over two years ago!) I posted a challenge I called The Uneventful Challenge. In this challenge, you are not allowed to wear/show anything that has been purchased at an event. Before I could blink, I was being asked to revive the challenge. With input from this enthusiastic group, I am tweaking the rules from the original, and I have created a Flickr Group for everyone to add their photos.

And now, on with the rules…
