Lu Is Back!

After a hiatus from creating in Second Life, Luana Dawg is back with her brand, Kuro. I have missed Lu’s quirky style and I am thrilled to see she has returned with a rebuild of her Microapartment. It is a cozy, two-room build with lovely detail. I am hoping this is just the first of many great things to come.

[ keke ] also has released recolours of her Gustavian console table and the lovely refurbished spring drawer, which was originally found in the February Deco(c)rate subscription box. They work well together or of course, on their own. They are available at her main store, along with a lot of the other things you can see in the photo, so do a little browsing when you stop in to pick up these goodies. In addition, she has created the spring sprout set for the Mad Easter Egg Hunt. I haven’t done this hunt, but it is a collective hunt with more prizes released the more people play and find eggs. Check out the link for full details.

The Liaison Collaborative should be open by the time I publish this post. The theme of “Rainy Days” is perfect for April and there are loads of showery-themed pretties at the event, including these from Serenity Style and Sway’s. Stop by for your April gear, and don’t forget your umbrella!

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

Nobody’s Fool

After I took this photo and was finished processing, I sat back to think about a title. The more I looked at it, the more I thought to myself, “Geez, she looks pissed off!” It’s the look on a woman’s face whenever she is being fed a line that is pure BS: part incredulity and part anger that the speaker believes she might just fall for it. Being April 1st, the title just seemed appropriate.

I am showing off the latest release from fri.day for Uber, the Aloy Booties. These stunning shoes are half boot, half strappy heel and pure sexiness. Perfect for doing a little arch-stomping, if need be. My top from ChicModa from the March BishBox is a great halter that says, “I’m fun, but I’m no nonsense.”

In other words, I’m nobody’s fool.

Eucalyptus, Agave & A Rubber Tree, Please

I love sun rooms. The airy feeling in an enclosed space is a lovely place to just relax with a cup of tea and a good book. Requisite plants give it even more of that outdoor-while-inside feel.

The plants, in this case, are from {what next} for today’s Fifty Linden Friday. These beautifully crafted plants come in either a potted or stand version and all are texture-change for the pots, and I mean, there are TONS of choices. Plain or patterned, the possibilities are endless. You can create your own virtual jungle with these versatile plants. Not shown, but also available, are lovely daffodils bursting from their own planters. Don’t miss out on these bargains for today.

The sun room is compliments of the La Cas Azul house from [Merak] from the last round of Deco(c)rate. It is fun and bohemian with just enough room to be cozy for one or two. And a perfect setting for a eucalyptus, an agave and a rubber tree, if you please.
