Ahoy Mateys! I’m home!

I get so excited when I find out about a new home maker in Second Life that exceeds my expectations of quality and design.  That is just what Bethany Heart has accomplished with her store Coeur.  I had the opportunity to make myself a new little home here in Second Life and I used Bethany’s new home called Maison S.S. Momo as my place of residence.  With the help of my close friend Paige Patrucci in the decor department, the place is feeling quite cozy!  So far my roomie Paige and I are only starting to get moved in so the place is a little bit empty still, but cute nonetheless.

The detail and quality of this house are incredible.  I couldn’t find a single error in build design or texturing.  The textures are absolutely perfect.  The little additional touches such as, the model ship on the fireplace mantle and the ship wheel hanging on the wall really added quite a bit to the home.  The home includes a front porch, two rooms in the front, a bedroom and a bathroom.  Plenty of space to decorate, but still quaint enough to be cozy.

Definitely drop on over to Coeur and check out what all Bethany has to offer.  Her talent and eye for design is wonderful!

Happy Friday everyone! <3

Chain and Vine Obsession

I seriously have obsession issues with my new find Chain and Vine.  Just released like an hour ago was this lovely adorable Vignette. Seriously. Just. Go. Now. Do it. It’s cute. Actually…it’s more than cute.  Kinda like Lyric Demina, creator and designer of all the awesome at Chain and Vine.

Oh did I mention my skin is from there too?

NOW GO! Off you go! Get yourself some cuteness!

Shiki Designs

I had the opportunity to check out a new (well new to me) store yesterday and I’m excited to tell you all about it!  It’s called Shiki Designs.  When I think of colorful, vibrant, and funky, this is what I’m going to think of from now on!  Every single piece of apparel from this store is adorned with the brightest of hues and unique accessories.  If you are looking to distinctively stand out and make a shining fashion statement, this may be the store for you.

I’m really in love with the new elikatira release as well.  I think it’s so feminine and pretty.  I can dress it up or down too which is great.  I know there has been mention and rumor of many new releases coming our way from elikatira so be on the look out if you are a fan! (and how could you not be?)

Pssst… I’m wearing my new favorite ski from Chain and Vine, my Lael skin, in a different “flavor”.  Instead of my usual Stargazer, today I’m wearing Primrose, and oh my heavens it’s like I fell in love all over again!  Chain and Vine is on the rise and, in my opinion going to be one of the top competitors in the skin making business pretty soon.  I get more compliments on these skins when I wear them than any others.  I eventually need to try some of the others aside from Lael, but it’s difficult for me to take off this pretty skin!

Have a great Thursday Second Lifers!

Dancing in the Street

I originally wanted to title this post “Jay Walkin!” but them I realized that I was actually using the crosswalk…so….I guess that won’t work!  I’m a little bit obsessed with my new poses from Bent! They are all incredibly unique which is something I can certainly appreciate.  This one especially caught my eye!  I feel like I’m dancing in the street.  Now I’ve got this song stuck in my head. (I feel as if Bowie Zeplin would be proud of this reference.)

So, the new pants from KOSH are umm… really cute. I don’t own a whole lot of baggy shorts/pants so these were a fun add to my digital closet.  The cuffs on the bottom are fantastic and the back has these great little pockets. I paired them with my default sneakers, my HOC low tops.  I’ve had these shoes in my inventory FOREVER but I always come back to them.  They were incredibly affordable and come with three different versions. (two with laces, one without.)  Not to mention they are scripted to change colors.  They are perfect for when I’m going for a casual look, and I wear them quite often! A worthy purchase if you are looking for a pair of versatile sneakers.

I wandered over to the City of Perdition to take this photo.  If you are into any sort of role play in Second Life, this is one of the best sims for a sense of realism.  I RPed here for a bit and I really enjoyed it.  The people are talented RPers and the story lines are all thought out well.  I really wish I had the time to role play again in Second Life.  It’s incredibly time consuming, but it’s an absolute blast as well.

It’s hump day so you know what that means…. *evil grin*

Magic Nook

One thing I really encourage shopaholics to get involved in are subscriber groups.  Especially for some of your favorite stores.  One of my favorites, Magic Nook, just released this adorable new dress (in a multitude of colors!), and I was alerted about it as soon as it was released!  Hooray for subscribers! (Plus they don’t take up group space. Double win.)

I was so impressed with the sculpts on this dress.  I didn’t have to adjust a thing!  That almost never happens.  Ayumi Cassini, owner & designer of Magic Nook took the time to include an option for “chubbier” avatars with this dress.  Not that my avatar is necessarily “chubby” but she does have a little junk in the trunk, so the larger skirt size was perfect for me!  Thank you Ayumi for considering the curvier avatars when you created this darling dress!

I’m really digging the new release from MOOD as well.  Jori always does a fantastic job.  These earrings went great with this dress.  I know they were released for Moody Mondays, and I was slow to blog them, so I hope you are able to still find them in her lovely store!

I wandered around the Cupcake sim some more.  I can’t get enough of this place!  It’s just perfect!  I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, and if it was a three day weekend in the states for you, I hope it was fantastic!  It all went by way too fast for me, but I feel like I accomplished quite a bit in those three days!  Have a happy Tuesday everyone! <3
