Shopping in 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!

Stopping Traffic

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.
