#43 Winter's Edge

 

Hi Lovelies ⛄

If you have time this weekend, I encourage you to go visit LeLoo's World Winter's Edge.  Pop your 'shared environment' on and be wowed at the beauty before you!  This place is magical!  Breathtaking!!  As you arrive, a flurry of snow drifts over you, the beautiful sky slowly highlighting the scene before you.  This is somewhere you will want to slow your pace... take your time and drink in the surroundings.  The Observatory is a definite highlight.  You feel the warmth as you walk in the door.  Instant cozy vibes.  Makes me think of Polar Nights in Svalbard.  This is somewhere I could truly just lay and watch the sky drifting by whilst listening to the whistling wind.  A true peaceful haven.

What I Am Wearing:

Gramma's are here to bring you the 'Winter Forecast' this month!  I am loving the layered sleeve top with its fun slogan 'Winter Napstorm Warning: All Paws To Cozy Positions'.  The Red version of this outfit has an equally fun slogan 'Winter Forecast: 100% Pawsitive Nap Vibes Ahead'.  Paired with knitted pants, these are an absolute bargain at 1L each this month in the CMH Baby It's Cold Outside 5' Hunt.  I have added this cute Snowflake Winter Hat from Starlight Dinkies which can be worn with or without the bow and is scripted to tuck your ears away and keep them cozy!  You can only find this hat Exclusive to the Hunt for just 25L!  To complete the outfit, I found these lovely All Little Folks Ode Boots.  I am wearing version 2 that comes with 5 Boot and 7 Legwarmer options.  They cannot be worn apart but I think it completed the look perfectly.

After all that exploring, it was time for a nap!  This beautiful Blanket and Cushions set from Petite Panache is so beautifully textured for winter, and I just had to add my Snowman Cushion from Starlight Apparel to snuggle with.  Both are available in the 'Baby It's Cold Outside 5' Hunt this month.  Not to be missed!  But now... it's time for some zzzzz's.

   

#42 New Year, New You?

 

Hi Lovelies ⛄

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  Here we are, finally into 2026!  January is definitely a month to hibernate for me.  Wayyyyy too cold outside (currently -5 as I write this).  I plan to visit a few snowy, winter regions this month as I ease my way slowly into this New Year ahead (and before the creating commitments become hectic once more as Valentine's comes around next month).

Cheeky Monkey Hunts are starting the year with a jam packed line up of amazing Prizes and Exclusives in their 'Baby It's Cold Outside 5' Grid Wide Hunt throughout January.  Today I want to focus on a very talented Dinkie Creator, Llola Lane, who I affectionally call Dinkie Monkey, such is her passion to create and also to attract other like minded Designers to the Hunts.  She is an absolute godsend!  So with that...

What I Am Wearing:

Llola puts a lot of love and pride into her designs, making them as unique as she can with her own design patterns.  She also includes some wonderful accessories with her outfits which I feel really make her stand out from the crowd.  

This month Llola has created this beautiful Snowflake BOM Outfit.  Do notice the attention to detail with the little added snowflakes on the waist and also side of the Boots.  The outfit and boots are EXCLUSIVE to the Hunt this month, there is also some Ear Muffs included, but my preference on this occasion was very much like me in RL, a bobble hat.  I live in bobble hats in the winter.  Head on over to Llola's Dinkiewear shoppe and there is also an additional 1L knit sweater available too.

In my right paw I also have one of Llola's Full Perm creations, a Snowflake Plushie!  What a super cute accessory to finish the look!  You can find this as well as Llola's many other Full Perm goodies at her Full Perm Store. 

#41 Love To Decorate Holly and Frost Faire

 

Hi Lovelies ❆

Today I managed to encourage Hubby to join me (reluctantly) for a little Christmas shopping trip to Love To Decorate Holly and Frost Faire.  This region also hosts the Enchantment Events across the year which are always stunningly decorated so I knew I was in for a treat.  The Faire is open until 5th January so may be somewhere to pop and shop during the holidays.  You can expect to find top end designers here like Nutmeg, Oh Deer, Dahlia and more with some very affordable festive decor, 50L specials and free gifts too!  Definitely worth checking out.

What I Am Wearing:

Ari-Pari has creating a beautiful reindeer knit dress with 10 festive colors included on a HUD, ideal for mix and matching with your partner or friends.  Fitting Ebody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya and I am wearing it on Lara X.  You can grab this beauty for an incredible 1L until the end of December as part of the 'CMH Candy Cane Wishes 5' Hunt'.  I have paired it with my winter staple, KC Couture Unisex Short Ugg Boots.  With 50 Color options for the Boots, Trim, Inside and Sole, you can easily co-ordinate with any winter style.

Hubby is wearing a super cozy knit 'Up To Snow Good' Sweater with attached shirt from Cloud Nine with a beautiful, bold snowman design.  The sweater fits Gianni, Geralt, Legacy, Aesthetic and is worn here on Belleza Jake.  You can grab this stunning knit for just 1L as part of the CMH All Male Winter 4 Hunt until the end of December.  He has paired the sweater with some Caligula Sharpman Chino Pants which are Hudded with 21 Colors, coming with and without tucked shirt options.  Fitting Classic, Slink, Legacy, Gamit, Gianni and Jake, this was a steal at just 99L!  Finishing the look with one of my own creations, Ben Loafers from Starlight Apparel.  Hudded with 10 Colors, 10 Striped Colors and 4 Sole Colors these really are flexible for all seasons and will fit Slink, Gianni, Legacy and Jake.

#40 Yesh, I'm a Mesh!... But Shopping Helps!

 

Hi Lovelies ❆

It's the most wonderful time of the year... to spend lindens!  December always has such a wonderful selection of Christmas Markets, Events, Hunts and more as well as the Linden's own Event, Christmas Shop and Hop!  I want to bring you today over to The Christmas Event which is a Home and Decor Event.  There are so many wonderful designers taking part here, all coming together to inspire your own decorating for Christmastime, right down to a huge Christmas Tree plot where you may just find the right tree for you!  Most stores are taking part in a Hunt with prizes ranging between 0-20L, just look for the Christmas Stockings as well as gift boxes with free Festive goodies.  The Christmas Event also has 'Waffleville', a magical Christmas area for Dinkies!  There is a wide selection in stores ranging from outfits and decor to full perm items.  Do come take a peek!

What I Am Wearing:

Gramma's Shoppe has delighted me across the year with some wonderful outfits, several I have featured in earlier blog posts.  I LOVE this sleepy sassy cat on the front of this tee and the slogan is just perfect!  Patty comes up with some wonderful themed Dinkie Outfits and Tees at her Inworld Store that are all at super affordable prices.  "Yesh, I Am Mesh" comes as a layered top and separate pants and I urge you to grab this!  During December it is just 1L as part of the CMH Dinkie Winter Hunt and Sale.  Enjoy!

#39 Winter at Luanes World

 

Hi Lovelies ❅

It's been a minute!  Christmas has been super busy on the creating front which has kept me away longer than intended.  But tonight I thought I would start my festive season right in Second Life at one of its true must sees, Luanes World - Le Monde Perdu - Winter.  You arrive at a little cafe area surrounded by Christmas Huts serving cakes, hot chocolate and so much more to tempt your taste buds.  A perfect spot for a romantic date or perhaps a bit of people watching as you see people arrive into the region.  There are pathways to lead you around the region either on foot, or hop on a horse for a ride.  I opted for the horse and followed a beautiful path along the waters edge, looking at the beautiful home rentals (all full at the moment).  Taking the occasional pause to soak in the view and the icy waters, with the sound of birds.  It really is such a relaxing haven.

Today I want to share with you some wonderful items that can be found in the CMH Dinkie Winter Hunt and Sale which is on until the end of December.  

Firstly, let me show you this super cute Christmas Tee with matching resizable Christmas Hat from Tosca Piccolo which is an absolute steal at just 1L!  If you have a female friend that wants to match, Tosca also has a wonderful Christmas Fairy outfit with accessories included for just 50L this month which is EXCLUSIVE to the Dinkie Winter Hunt and Sale!  Not to be missed!  

I paired my tee up with some bold, colorful trousers from GPA Dinkies which come as a 'Christmas Colors Fat Pack'.  The BOM Trousers come with and without a belt in 8 colors and are just 100L this month only as part of the Dinkie Sale.  I will show these in more detail at the bottom of this post.

Finally, what is not to love about a Dinkie Waffle Cone Yool Tree!  Just 3 prims and copy/modify to adjust as you wish.  It is held firmly in place in a jar of maple syrup!  Runnn and grab this beautiful decor for just 1L from Psyche's Pstyles.

#38 Necropolis Umbrae

Hi Lovelies 🦇

Well this is a rare treat!  Back to back Blogging!  I wanted to have a peek at the trusty Destination Guide for Haunted Halloween and there is a small selection of places at the moment but hopefully will grow as we move towards October.  The one that caught my eye was Necropolis Umbrae.  

As soon as you arrive you hear a haunting twinkle and groan (best way I can describe it) which sets the scene for eerie, space vibes.  In the centre is an ancient occult library 'at the veil between life and death' which is wonderfully decorated to theme.  But if you head outside and head to the left, take the stairs up and you are greeted with a stunning fallen temple.  The sound of the Enchanted Ponds water adds to the ambience.  With lush vegetation and twinkling lights everywhere, this is such a soothing place to relax and ponder.  I ended my trip hopping on a passing space rock that let me drift happily in space.  What a treat indeed.

What I Am Wearing:

Peeps Dinkies are definitely bringing their best at the current CMH Autumn Dinkie Hunt & Sale with this gorgeous 'A Little Batty' outfit for Male and Female Dinkies.  This cute little sweater with bold Bat Design is very eye catching and works perfectly with the batty shorts.  The female version includes a skirt and panty.  Casual and fun to wear all over the Grid!  You can grab 'A Little Batty' for an incredible 25L this month while it is EXCLUSIVE to the Hunt.  I hope to have time to show you the super fun Skelecat Pyjamas which are a steal at 1L!  While you are at the Inworld Store, do not miss the 24 items that have been reduced to 100L each until the end of September.  Lots of autumnal coziness perfect for the season.

I am also wearing one of the prizes I won earlier at the All Little Folks Inworld Store too which is 'Dinkie Blush Black'.  Perfect for some haunted looking eyes!

 

#37 Evening Ride at Sunkiss

Hello Lovelies 🍂

Today I am continuing on my journey around Second Life's Autumn regions with a wonderful trip to Sunkiss.  This region embraces that magical time of summer ending where the air is cooler but still warm enough to feel some warmth on your skin from the sun.  Beaches are quieter and there is a joy in that peace as you take a blissful stroll, listening to the waves crash on the shore.  

I do envy how well people can decorate in Second Life as I have never quite mastered putting together a home just how I like it and usually buy another home and start again lol.  But I did rather love the shabby chic decor in the old Shanty Boat on the shore and said hello to the kitties before I continued my wander.

As you walk more inland, Autumn really embraces you in the golden colors of the grass and trees that are slowly shedding their leaves.  It truly is a magical time of year!  I do urge you to go visit!  

There is a beautiful quote on the wall of a home there that you can visit and enjoy simply saying 'Don't ever lose your sense of wonder' and honestly, that would be the perfect tag line to describe Second Life, our wonderful creative haven.

What I Am Wearing:

I am absolutely loving this Leny Outfit in green (also available in brown) from All Little Folks who you can also visit Inworld.  The cozy fox and leaf design on the sweater, paired with cord trousers and comfy shoes just completely embodies Autumn for me.  There was a cap also included but I love my little crown best.  The Inworld Store has some wonderful themed outfits and with Halloween coming, I highly suggest a visit.  Head towards the vendors on the far left for your choice of Halloween attire.  There are also prizes to be won on the Happy Mushroom chairs and I won three while I was there which was a lovely bonus to my trip.

I have saved the absolute best to last... As soon as I saw this Fall Sidecar Ride, I could not WAIT to try it out!  You have the option to be the driver, or enjoy the ride in the sidecar as you wave to the passers by.  Obsessed!  You can adjust it so you are seated to the level you need.  There is also the 'beep' to make people jump as you bump into things lol.  Beautifully made by Flying Arts and EXCLUSIVE to the CMH Autumn Dinkie Hunt & Sale for an incredible 25L until the end of September.  Enjoy😊.
