First off, I apologise for my recent absence. I have been doing two people’s jobs for the past several weeks and it caught up with me lately. But this weekend, with so many beautiful things available, I’m going to be busy.

The Liaison Collaborative opened on the 7th, running through the 30th of April. This is a fashion and poses round, with an appropriate theme of “Bloom.” There are so many springy pretties at this event, starting with the bodysuit and cage skirt I am wearing from United Colors. It has butterflies, blossoms and berries of the colour-change variety to customise your look, and is just so feminine I just had to swoon. My “swoonage” is compliments of the pose by [Shi.S.], which includes the flower-covered blanket. Please note, I did edit my leg and neck positions slightly for this shot, but it is a lovely, restful pose.

My necklace from Salt & Pepper for We < 3 Roleplay is not your typical collar. It hugs not only your throat, but your shoulders as well. It is unique and beautiful.

Finally, let me talk about the flowers and petals. Nobody in Second Life does pretty, delicate blooms better than [ keke ], in my opinion. The vases with blooms are a gacha offering at The Chapter Four, and with no rares, you have an equal chance of receiving every single one. The light plays so beautifully off the glass and the flowers are perfect. The lotus blooms and petals from the last round of Lost & Found, should be available at the mainstore. Again I have to apologise; my tardy blogging has delayed showing these beautiful flowers 😦

Don’t let this photo fool you. There is no rest for this Second Life blogger this weekend – I promise, there is more to come!
