Retreat

1 Retreat sm

Creating a place of retreat can be elaborate or as simple as finding a quiet spot where you can simply reflect and recharge. It can be in a garden, on a mountaintop or simply inside your mind. It’s your choice – whatever makes sense to you.

I have created this retreat not just within a garden, but with beautiful fall roses around me. You can win them at the September round of The Chapter Four in the gacha machine by [ keke ]. There are 10 commons and one rare, all equally as lovely as each other. Dressing for the occasion also enhances the experience. You can find the dress by Salt & Pepper at We < 3 Roleplay and the shoes by Apple May Designs on Marketplace.

Find your special retreat; find your own peace.

Lips Like Marilyn

1 Cressida sm

Ah, to be such a classic bombshell.

There is lots of newness in this photo, from the dress from Apple May Designs to the hat by JfL Real Hats, the decorations by Kaerri to the pose by * La Jolie Rose *. In fact, everything in this photo is new, except my body, mesh head and skin.

Maybe I can’t be like Marilyn, but I can at least surround myself with pretty things I’m sure she would love.

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!
