Second Life

In A Mystical Place

It has been a long, tiring day at work. I’ve been having more of those lately than I care to have. But I am trying to get my feet back under me when it comes to my blog. I have so many lovely things queued up to show you from so many wonderful designers. I will do my best to give them the attention they deserve.

Today’s photo is rather mystical, which goes wonderfully with the jacket and skirt from Salt & Pepper for the May anniversary edition of We < 3 Roleplay. The sandals from fri.day for Uber fit right in. I’m not a roleplayer, but I do know how to scout out a great location in Second Life, in this case, Rustica.

I keep wondering when my world will slow down and I can settle back into my usual routine. Instead, I keep waking up in a mystical place. I guess I’ll have to learn to embrace it.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

*Jacket: Salt & Pepper S&P jacket Celeste maitreya exp by xxSaltandPepperxx (available at We < 3 Roleplay May 4-31)

Beating The Event Barrier

1 Dress for Tea sm

Are you tired of trying to attend shopping events, only to find yourself up against the “The region you are trying to enter is full” limitation? Well, there is a new event that started May 1st that helps you defeat that message! Called Buy Now, it is run through Marketplace. For a limited time, you can purchase new releases exclusively on Marketplace at discounted prices. With close to 50 designers participating, that’s a lot of newness you won’t have to wait to get your hands on! Just pop over to their website and click each vendor’s logo to link you to a preview of their product, then it’s just one more click directly to the Marketplace listing. No more waiting to get in, no more landing on someone’s head and walking through sludge to move off the landing point, no more waiting for the vendors to rez. Simple, yet ingenious!

Apple May Designs is offering the adorable Dress For Tea at a discount for this event in two colours. It is very feminine and just a bit daring. The blue and black are on sale for the event, but there are other colours available at full price. Pick out your favourite and gloat over beating the event barrier!

Guest Appearance

1 Guest Appearance sm

It kind of feels like I am making a guest appearance on my own blog. I know I haven’t been very active lately; my real life job is sapping my energy and time. I am going to try to play catch up in the next few days; this photo (and the one for my next post) I actually took last weekend. But I just got around to working on them last night. What a way to spend a Friday evening!

The pretty nightie and shoes are gacha prizes from Salt & Pepper for The Gacha Garden. So delicate and feminine! The shrug is also by S&P for the same event, but it is the Seed of Inspiration prize. For those of you not familiar with this event, the vendor rewards you with a special gift after playing the machine 20 times. That is your seed of inspiration to keep playing! The shrug works with all of the pieces; the common babydoll and the rare dresses. You could even pair it with any other sleeveless top you have, making it a very versatile piece.

I’m keeping the commentary short; head to the credits for all of the details – they’re what are really important!
