1 Stopping Traffic sm

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll realise that I don’t do urban. You’ll also know that I love the juxtaposition of extremes. So knowing I had this feminine and sexy teddy from Apple May Designs to blog, I wanted to do something different. That’s why I didn’t photograph it yesterday; my brain was still pretty much mush from my work week.

Then this morning, while sipping a cup of coffee and scrolling through my Facebook feed, I saw the telephone booth from .UNTITLED. and I had to have it. It’s from a brand new store; two versions of the phone booth are all that are for sale at this time. But I am looking forward to whatever Supremebeing creates.

Then came my dilemma. How was I supposed to use lingerie with this creation? Urban grunge was the only thing I could come up with.

Oh, joy.

Having a sister who loves to create spaces with an urban feel helped out. I remembered one of Rwah’s go-to grunge designers and quickly hit Marketplace. Plus, being a gacha fiend, I knew I had some things from DRD that would work. Find a pose, throw in some mist and done!

I’m still not good at urban, but I know I’m going to be stopping traffic.

All The Beautiful Things

1 All the Beautiful Things sm

Right now is a great time for finding beautiful Home & Garden items around the grid. The crocuses from [ keke ], which come in four different colours, are available at this round of Lost & Found. They are crafted in the signature detail of Kean Kelly and are perfect for springtime decoration.

Shiny Shabby offers up loads of amazing decor, as usual. The crowns and table from NOMAD are just a tiny example of the offerings. And make sure you get to The Seasons Story before it closes April 30th for more loveliness from [ zerkalo ].

The rabbit mannequin is a gacha prize from a new-to-me store, {-Maru Kado-}, also from The Seasons Story. Unique, different and quirky, it is weirdly beautiful and completely unexpected. Those are qualities that immediately catch my eye and are deadly to my pocketbook!

Get out this weekend…explore, shop and enjoy all the beautiful things.

I went back to Bar Cafe Fabriken at Furillen to showcase Evelyn by Apple May Designs – this time, fully clothed 😉 It is a great location for hanging out and catching a few shots. All I’m missing in this photo is a pool shark in the background, trying to take his shot.

The dress is available at the Apple May mainstore and is elegant and sexy. Perfect for that uptown/downtown feel.

Rack ’em up and take your best shot.
