Lu Is Back!

After a hiatus from creating in Second Life, Luana Dawg is back with her brand, Kuro. I have missed Lu’s quirky style and I am thrilled to see she has returned with a rebuild of her Microapartment. It is a cozy, two-room build with lovely detail. I am hoping this is just the first of many great things to come.

[ keke ] also has released recolours of her Gustavian console table and the lovely refurbished spring drawer, which was originally found in the February Deco(c)rate subscription box. They work well together or of course, on their own. They are available at her main store, along with a lot of the other things you can see in the photo, so do a little browsing when you stop in to pick up these goodies. In addition, she has created the spring sprout set for the Mad Easter Egg Hunt. I haven’t done this hunt, but it is a collective hunt with more prizes released the more people play and find eggs. Check out the link for full details.

The Liaison Collaborative should be open by the time I publish this post. The theme of “Rainy Days” is perfect for April and there are loads of showery-themed pretties at the event, including these from Serenity Style and Sway’s. Stop by for your April gear, and don’t forget your umbrella!

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

Recollection

Check out the stunning necklace and earrings from Baiastice at The Liaison Collaborative. These are truly statement pieces and you only have a couple of days left to grab them at the event before it closes on March 30.

A few days ago I promised a closer look at the latest fedora from JfL Hats, and here it is. The texture of the suede just makes me want to run my fingers across it, then smooth it back down. This is, once again, the bright pink, but all of the hats in this release are lighter colours than the usual JfL pallete. They are perfect for the ladies, but will still work great for the guys. Do go check them out – they are new releases at the main store.

As I was scrolling through my JfL Hats folder to find this photo, I realised that I have been blogging for John for almost four years. He is the designer I have blogged for the longest. He has believed in me – stuck with me – as I have slowly become a bit better at blogging. OK, I can say easily that I have become a better photographer during that time. I don’t actually have the first photo I blogged for JfL – those images were stored on a back up hard drive that sadly failed – but the images I have go back to October of 2013. And I know I was blogging for JfL Hats for a few months before that. Looking through those images, I smiled, I cringed and laughed out loud at my efforts.

All in all, it was a lovely recollection.
