The Hell’s Haven

1 At Hell's Haven sm

I have felt a bit lost since Furillen closed a couple of weeks ago. It is where I would go to just unwind and as it turned out, where I took some of my favourite photos. So I have been wandering around the grid, trying to find someplace that gives me the same inspiration.

I have visited a lot of wondrous sims, but more often than not, I have just been a spectator, never pausing long enough for a photo.

That changed yesterday when I visited The Hell’s Haven. It is misty and haunting, but much more of a haven than hell. Snoobjohnson, the builder, has chosen a very effective Windlight setting – something that I have discovered few builders have done. While this photo is post-processed, I used the region settings for the shot.

The whole point of my trip – other than to explore – was to find a setting to show off the Harper clogs from fri.day for Shiny Shabby. Maybe I’m a bad blogger for not just doing a “look of the day” shot that shows nothing but the fashion l’objet du jour, but that’s just not my style. I prefer to try to make them a focal point in a lovely location.

At Hell’s Haven, I hope I accomplished that.

I Suppose It Will All Make Sense One Day

1 Scattered Dreams sm

Running her fingers through scattered petals like so many shattered dreams, she has to believe it will all make sense one day.

I visited The Outer Garden this weekend. Owned by bisou Dexler, it is a softly beautiful space. It could easily be a romantic location, but for me it was a place for contemplation. While the photograph may seem a bit melancholy, I left feeling light and refreshed.

Do check out my stunning sandals. They are newly released at Kustom9 by fri.day. Exclusively fitted for Maitreya Lara, they are one thing that makes perfect sense.

I don’t even have to wait for “one day” to know this.

A Bikini, A Balloon And A Midnight Sky

1 Butterflies Balloons & A Midnight Sky sm

A summer night, a deserted dock, a butterfly-bedecked balloon. A perfectly-fitted bikini and calf-hugging sandals. The evening air, damp with dew creates a slight fog over the landscape.
