Secrets Into The Wind

I did a bit of wandering yesterday in Second Life. I visited several sims and took photos at them all. Some will make it into my blog; others will probably just sit in a folder until one day I reopen it to see what I have seen. I love immersing myself in others creativity and while I do that on a regular basis with fashion and the occasional H&G post, I am usually most inspired when I do a bit of traveling.

When I land on a destination sim, I always start with the region Windlight setting. I want to understand the mood the creator tries to convey. I also make sure I have my stream running to soak up the sounds that accompany the landscape. And then I roam, just looking for a while, and usually end up taking pictures. When I do this, I try to create a story with the images that I share.

I felt a bit whimsical in the outfit I chose and that suited de*cid*u*ous, a pastoral location. It seemed a good place to whisper a few secrets and allow them to dance in the wind.

And at one point, I do believe it whispered back.

Just When You Thought Your Lindens Were Safe

1 Summer Romance sm

Maybe you really did think your bank account was safe. Then the calendar turns over to the 7th, and not only does The Liaison Collaborative open, but so does a brand new event, Bon Voyage! And if you make it through those two events, the page flips to the 8th, and Collabor88 opens. Oh well, no use saving for a rainy day – go forth and spend now!

The Liaison Collaborative this month has tons of lovely things, as you can see from my hair, the lanterns, the stool, the gorgeous olive tree and my pose. Dig into my credits, and you will find all of the details on these gotta-have items. I’ve been teasing with stuff from this event, but now that it is open, you can go see for yourself.

1 Summer Sweetheart sm

Do check out my shoes from fri.day for Bon Voyage. This event, which runs for a full month (August 7 – September 7) is themed around a specific country. The inaugural round centres on Japan. Think kawaii, think adorable, think bunny-eared stockings to go with your heels! The stockings are optional so you can choose to wear the shoes alone, but with that wriggly little nose, why would you?

Even after splurging on these two events, makes sure you save a few coins for the 5th anniversary edition of Collabor88. {what next} brings you this delightful summer house, which will perk up any corner of your garden. I simply adore the bi-fold doors and the metal roof with the finials. (As an aside, did you know you could find that term by googling “pointy bits on a roof?” 😉 ) You can also pick up the potted olive trees – obviously the little brothers of the giant version from The Little Branch from TLC – with the summer house.

So, the moral of the story is…your Lindens are never safe if you stop by my blog!
