The Old Greenhouse In The Garden

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

I’m taking a quick break from skins and fashion to bring you this lovely spot to rest and recharge. My absolute favourite from this month’s Deco(c)rate is hands down, the old garden greenhouse from [ keke ]. Even though you know [ keke ] is one of my all-time favourites in general, this greenhouse is a stand out. The gorgeous textures – the way the sun plays off the windows, which are streaked with rain, the detail on the fittings and just the space you have (not a cramped greenhouse at all) make it something very special.

If you didn’t subscribe this month, this makes the extra cost worth the splash-out, never mind the other gorgeous items, including the Palmero set from ARIA.

The rest is a mix of old and new home & garden stuff, like the beautiful blooming trees from Little Branch and the wheelbarrow decor, part of a HUGE rustic garden set by DRD, both available at The Liaison Collaborative.

Put your feet up. Relax. Take in your surroundings in the lovely old greenhouse in the garden.

A Chat Among Friends

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

Spring brings the perfect opportunity to settle down for a chat with friends. In this case, they are four-legged and winged pals, courtesy of this cute pose prop from Luane’s World for The Liaison Collaborative. I have no doubt these squirrels are tempted by the flowers on this lovely top from *Just BECAUSE*, an AnnieRose Collaboration available at the main store. This pattern is part of the fat pack, but standard colours come with both a solid and striped version and the detail is incredible. Just check out those buttons on the ruching at the waist and the perfect bows on the tied sleeves. For those who don’t know about AnnieRose, these designs are the product of Annie Melson’s partnership with her daughter, Rose. This top is definitely worth the visit to the mainstore.

I am featuring the Amaia skin from *League* for Skin Fair 2017. It is a LeLutka applier and I am wearing it with Simone. This is a very clean skin, with a freckles option plus some beautiful eye and lip colours.

All perfect for a springtime chat with friends.

Curtain Call

Image PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

I may be getting ahead of things, since Skin Fair 2017 has just begun, but all of the designers will be deserving of multiple curtain calls once the event closes on March 26th. They have truly outdone themselves, with stunning skins, tattoos, makeup appliers and mesh head releases. After the cut, I’ll give you more information to prepare you for one of the biggest events of the Second Life year, including sim maps and SLurls to the fair.

Before I do that, I wanted to make sure that some other releases weren’t lost in the shuffle of Skin Fair. Collabor88 is spectacular this month, with warm and wonderful designs from the top creators in SL. I could live in these leg warmers from fri.day at the event. With autumn upon us in Australia and winter looming, they will surely become a staple in my wardrobe.

The Liaison Collaborative is up and running with their 4th birthday round. There are some beautiful home and garden items in this round and many of the designers have put out birthday gifts – yours for the taking. Do make sure you visit.

Jump past the cut for a close up of my skin, the promised details on Skin Fair and the ever popular credits!
