Mediterranean

A new round of The Challenge has begun with this month’s theme of Mediterranean. There are several lovely new offerings, so make sure you head to the creator’s mainstores to take advantage of this classic style.

My favourite this time around has to be the Tuscan Patio by [hate this:home]. The warm colours are the perfect background for the detailed textures and the crackling fire. There are versions with and without the drapes, but I love the mystery they give this cozy build.

Check out The Challenge Blog for all of the goodies this month and find your own Mediterranean favourite.

Upside Down

1 Upside Down Bench

MixMatch is an interesting sales event. It may have been around for a while, but I only discovered it. The idea is you go to the event and buy the displayed item there, then you can go to the creator’s mainstore to purchase a complementary item at a discounted price. It’s a fun way to mix and match some cute stuff with the added benefit of getting you out of a sales event and into an actual store.

At the MixMatch event, you can find this quirky upside down bench from Kuro. It comes in three different textures – the wooden one I am showing her, plus pink and blue. It has TONS of animated poses and seats three. You can even swap which seat you want to sit in. Kind of a fun way to play musical chairs 🙂

1 Upside Down Chair

Once you’ve tired of that game, head on over to Kuro to pick up the matching chair. Having exhausted myself playing musical chairs alone, a nice relaxing rest while reading a book seemed the perfect ending.

On another note, even if you’re not interested in shopping you really should go to this event just to see the MixMatch venue. It is housed on the After 6 Days sim and is a touch surreal, a little bit avante garde and totally awesome!

(I was only joking about the not being interested in shopping part, of course!) 😉

Tell Me The Story

1 Wistful

I didn’t really have a reason for this photo. I just put on an outfit, rezzed a few items, plopped down on the suitcase and played with Windlight until I found something I liked.

I think there is a story here, looking at the image. Is she moving in or moving on? Or is she simply taking shelter on her travels?

Will you tell me the story?
