Second Life

Changes

1 Studio

Hi. My name is Peep and this is my blog. Pleased to see you here 🙂

I am reintroducing myself because I have been away for so long that I was worried some of you might have forgotten me. Real Life has been a whirlwind of change which has kept me largely out of Second Life and when I have been in, I haven’t had the chance to take any photos. The RL changes will prevent me from blogging as often as I have been, but I am hoping to manage to get up at least three posts a week. I hope that absence has made your hearts grow fonder and you will bear with me while I transition to this new schedule.

The changes also extend to Second Life; after having my showroom and studio in the same location for about a year, I have just moved to a new location! I can now be found on the 5th Avenue sim; quite posh, don’t you think? 😀 The photo is of me sitting in my new digs. It is very different from the old studio…Rwah says it is “grown-up Peep’s place.” I don’t know about the grown-up part, but it is definitely a major change for me. Please feel free to drop by anytime. I still need to do a bit more decorating but it is open and ready for visitors to stop in.

I can’t do this post without mentioning that I was recently interviewed for the LUMIPro blog! Sammie Ansar, the Social Media Director for LUMIPro was such a sweetheart to talk to. She was extremely patient with me, working diligently to accommodate the time zone vagaries. I was thrilled with the final result. If you have followed my blog at all you know I am a huge proponent of LUMIPro and I was honoured to be asked to share my experiences with their followers.

The outfit and shoes I am wearing are gifts from Sammie’s business partner, UkeMochi of Mochi Styles. I just adore this outfit; in fact, I have been wearing it for a week! (Don’t freak out, Cao…I send it out to the cleaner’s every night 😉 ) I am happy to show off these goodies not just because I love them, but because they are kind-hearted people. This is from a note card enclosed with each purchase:

When a good friend of ours who suffers from MD was recently hospitalized my friend Sammie Ansar of Sweet as Honey Designs joined together with me to help. A percentage of everything we sell will go into a fund to help him with medical cost and personal needs.

Please stop by to check it out. You can buy pretty things without guilt, knowing that a part of your purchase is going for a very good cause.

It’s good to be back…I’ll see you again soon ♥

Swinging At Sunrise

1 Sunrise Swing

It has been cold here, as is to be expected in the dead of winter. The thought of being able to swing at sunrise has a very strong appeal for me, especially with a little friend.

The friend comes courtesy of another adorable hairstyle from !Ohmai at Hair Fair 2014. There is another version without the birdy friend that is included. But when out for a lark, you really need to bring your little buddy along.

Out-Strutted

1 Ursula Photo Bomb

So there I was, all excited about my new hairstyles, clothes, manicure and jewelry, strutting like a….

…um, yeah. Just when I thought I had that strut down pat, along came an expert to photobomb me! I guess he put me in my place, eh? 😉

But seriously, check me out! This round of Serafilms‘ theme is Sequels, and is there a better sequel ever than The Godfather II? Heck, it won the Oscar for Best Picture so it’s got to be good.

But not as good as the pretty stuff from Cae and {Wicked} Peach. The necklace and earrings from Cae are so delicate and feminine, and with colour-change options for the chain, rose and pearls it is so versatile you can match it with almost anything. The nail polish from {Wicked} Peach has your fingers and toes covered in either a Business or Pleasure set. What more could a gangster or moll ask for?

I’m showing off more pretty hair from Hair Fair today. One thing I love about this event is that each year I seem to find a new-to-me designer who becomes a fast favourite. Last year it was *ARGRACE*; this year, it has to be +elua+. I realise both of these stores have been around for a while, but I just hadn’t visited them. I love the short, flirty hairstyle, Ursula, worn in my first photo and the longer style, Tricia, coming up next.

1 elua Tricia

You can see the same necklace and earrings in this photo with different colour combinations and I adored this pose set from {Exposeur} at a super-discounted price for The Dreaming Tree this weekend. Sunflowers can make even a cloudy day seem right.

If you still haven’t gotten into Hair Fair, make sure you’ve joined the Hair Fair Demo Group. You can try on the demos before you arrive so you can get in and out quickly. Make sure you check out the Hair Fair Blog for the locations of your favourite stores, plus adjacent landing points where you can cam shop across borders or push in when a space comes free.
