Urban Haven

1 Soho sm

If you are a fan of an urban theme, or just in the mood to create an urban haven, you’re in luck right now in Second Life! The theme for The Liaison Collaborative May round is “Urban Jungle” and there are loads of great edgy items to pick up. From the gachas from [Toiz] to the regular purchases from [Fetch], 22769 ~ [bauwerk], Industry 7 and unKindness, you have a plethora of choices of products and buying method. It is a round that you really can’t miss!

Also continuing the urban theme is, of course, 6 Republic, where you can populate your home or garden with more urban-ish things. [ keke ]‘s London set is, as always, beautifully crafted with a choice of a dark or light style and of course, a bit of tasteful bling. The pieces can be purchased separately, but DO splash out on all of them. They’re just lovely!

And while the theme for Collabor88 is “Americana,” the guitar props from {what next} are so versatile they can easily fit into an urban setting. The guitar case is my favourite, with a variety of print textures at a touch to announce your venue’s acts, or to simply make a statement in your own loft.

Go forth and shop. Your urban haven isn’t going to create itself.

In A Mystical Place

It has been a long, tiring day at work. I’ve been having more of those lately than I care to have. But I am trying to get my feet back under me when it comes to my blog. I have so many lovely things queued up to show you from so many wonderful designers. I will do my best to give them the attention they deserve.

Today’s photo is rather mystical, which goes wonderfully with the jacket and skirt from Salt & Pepper for the May anniversary edition of We < 3 Roleplay. The sandals from fri.day for Uber fit right in. I’m not a roleplayer, but I do know how to scout out a great location in Second Life, in this case, Rustica.

I keep wondering when my world will slow down and I can settle back into my usual routine. Instead, I keep waking up in a mystical place. I guess I’ll have to learn to embrace it.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

*Jacket: Salt & Pepper S&P jacket Celeste maitreya exp by xxSaltandPepperxx (available at We < 3 Roleplay May 4-31)
*Skirt: Salt & Pepper S&P skirt Celeste maitreya exp by xxSaltandPepperxx (available at We < 3 Roleplay May 4-31)
*Earclip: Salt & Pepper S&P earclip Cece L rosegold by xxSaltandPepperxx (anniversary gift at We < 3 Roleplay May 4-31)

Beating The Event Barrier

1 Dress for Tea sm

Are you tired of trying to attend shopping events, only to find yourself up against the “The region you are trying to enter is full” limitation? Well, there is a new event that started May 1st that helps you defeat that message! Called Buy Now, it is run through Marketplace. For a limited time, you can purchase new releases exclusively on Marketplace at discounted prices. With close to 50 designers participating, that’s a lot of newness you won’t have to wait to get your hands on! Just pop over to their website and click each vendor’s logo to link you to a preview of their product, then it’s just one more click directly to the Marketplace listing. No more waiting to get in, no more landing on someone’s head and walking through sludge to move off the landing point, no more waiting for the vendors to rez. Simple, yet ingenious!

Apple May Designs is offering the adorable Dress For Tea at a discount for this event in two colours. It is very feminine and just a bit daring. The blue and black are on sale for the event, but there are other colours available at full price. Pick out your favourite and gloat over beating the event barrier!
