#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😊.

#36 Love Valley Autumn

 

Hello Lovelies 🍂

Finally... My favorite season is upon us!  I absolutely LOVE Autumn.  It most definitely is the most beautiful season to explore and as nights draw in, what better time than to spend a cozy evening exploring some incredible Autumn Regions in Second Life!  I hope to bring you a few worth a visit across the season so let us begin at Love Valley Autumn.

You arrive to a sea of stunning golden colors, a beautiful forest like setting spread across two regions.  This is definitely somewhere to really take your time to explore.  I was drawn to wander the trails that you felt you just had to see!  There are lots of areas to picnic and camp, all conveniently here ready for you to enjoy.  Tucked away cottages in the woods as lighting and rain roar outside.  Very romantic!  The perfect place to snuggle and stay dry from the storm together maybe.  The second region continues this theme but is more Equestrian based with a race track, stables and riding trail.  Not something I have tried as of yet in Second Life but maybe this may tempt me to come back and try it out another night.  I hope you enjoy this stunning Region.

What I Am Wearing:

Today I want to highlight a couple of items I love from the CMH All Male Autumn Hunt 4 which is on now until the end of September.  Pynkie have created a fabulous batty face tattoo with a choice of Faded or Fresh BOM (I am wearing the Fresh).  I love the simplicity of this tattoo, subtle and yet you are drawn to look at it.  I don't think I will be removing it until after Halloween!  It's a must have! 

While you are wandering among the Autumn Regions, is this tee just the perfect positive message to share?  I think so.  'Beleaf' by Good Vibes is designed for Legacy, Gianni and I am wearing it on Jake.  The message is on both front and back and in this current world, we could all use some 'Beleaf' in Ourselves.  Enjoy Loves 💖

#34 Sugarberry Summer

 

Hi Lovelies 😊

#33 Aloha, Kanaloa!

 

Hi Lovelies 😊

Having not been here for a while, today I decided to hop over to a true classic in Second Life, Kanaloa Surf Beach which has been around since 2016.  If you want to try your hand at surfing or kite surfing, this is THE place to be!  They have kindly put out a range of boards with full instructions how to go hit up those gigantic waves rolling in to the shore.  Being a dinkie, the kids board were the perfect option for me to paddle out to the massive waves on or take a pause to just sit and watch the world go by.  There are also many places along the beach to make friends (there is always someone here) or to bring a date.  I finished my trip with a walk along the beach before it was time to head back to RL.

What I Am Wearing:

This month, Cheeky Monkey Hunts introduced a new Hunt Theme, Kawaii and WOW did their Designers deliver with over 60 Prizes and Exclusives!  I am wearing the bright and bold 'Kawaii Treats' outfit from GPA Dinkies which is EXCLUSIVE to the Hunt and a steal at 25L!  There are several options in the pack.  You can wear this super fun shirt with either shorts or trousers which both come with the option of with or without a belt.  GPA Dinkies want to make sure you are covered for all occasions with this outfit.  The top had me craving for an ice lolly but sadly, I could find none dinkie sized!  Do check out all the amazing Kawaii prizes available until the end of July.

#32 Sunset Beach Walk at Silent Melody

Hi Lovelies 😸

While dinner was cooking in the real world, I had just enough time to slip back to Silent Melody to explore more of the beach area.  As I strolled along the beach I could not resist grabbing a boat to tour the island first before finding a nice area to chill at the 'Flower Power' snack bar.  Listening to the waves crash on the shore while munching on a donut is a perfect way to pass the time as I watched the sun sink lower in the sky.  Healthier options are available too.  There is an absolutely stunning dance area at the corner by the lighthouse.  I joined the group (which is free to join) and hope they have some singers here in future to enjoy in this beautiful setting.  I ended my trip in my favorite spot, the Rooftop Vegetable Garden.

What I Am Wearing:

Being the weekend, it was time for a treat!  So I headed over to Dinkiewear to grab this stunning Teal Swimshorts Outfit which is currently on offer for just 100L as part of the CMH Summer Dinkie Hunt and Sale which is on until the end of June.  This is an absolute steal for the price.  The Bucket Hat, Sunglasses, Shorts, Sandals, Cute Duck and even a Rubber Ring (not pictured) are all included in the price.  It's bright and bold and I love it!  There is also a matching Swimsuit version available which is also in the sale.
