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.

Winter Swing

1 Winter Swing sm

Kicking back and relaxing in a lovely swing in a snow-filled glen is my idea of a perfect occasion right now. As I sit in shorts and a t-shirt, it is a very humid and sticky 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) at 7:49 pm. Even after having spent 15 years in Australia, I can’t get used to the idea of Christmas in the summer.

No matter which hemisphere you call home, you can find all of the gifts you need for your Second Life holidays at Christmas on 34th Street, which just opened a few hours ago. In addition to the swing from :Moon Amore:, you can also find the dress and snowflake necklace from Salt & Pepper, the shorter necklace from *YS&YS*, the shoes from Essenz and the hat/hair combo from MINA Hair . These are just a few of the exclusive, transferable items you can pick up at this gift-giving event.

Swing on by and wrap up all of your shopping in one stop.

When The Bough Breaks

1 Cold Out sm

Winter is slowly finding its way to Second Life. While there are still some sims sporting autumn colours and some that just stay the same summery or springy style all year round, there are more and more opportunities to frolic in the virtual snow. Pull on some snug boots, throw on your favourite jeans and toss on a sexy jacket and you’re prepped for stepping out or just lounging on the nearest branch.

Since I didn’t get to partake of Thanksgiving dinner this year, I’m hoping I’ll be able to get out of this pose before the bough breaks.

This cute jacket will be 50% off at Apple May Designs on November 29th for Lazy Sunday. It comes in a variety of colours – something that will suit your mood, I’m certain. The boots by fri.day are available at Kustom9 through Dec. 10th. You can check the credits for all of the other goodness.
