#27 Durty Feckers!

 

Hi Lovelies 😊  So with St Patrick's Day fast approaching on the 17th March, I wondered what Irish Destinations there are to enjoy in Second Life and there wasn't a huge choice.  But... I found this gem, Ireland.  You arrive outside the 'Durty Feckers' Pub (which also made me think of the classic TV show 'Father Ted').  As I walked in the bar I am almost expecting to see Father Jack shouting 'drink, drink, drink!' and Father Ted outside saying 'Down with this sort of thing'.  The bar looks warm and inviting, very traditional and well set out with an area for people to sing and play a fiddle, or a game of snooker.  In the back is a stage and I wonder if they have anyone come perform here.  I can imagine a packed bar and a warm crowd surrounding the stage.  Do take time to wander as there are many little treasures to discover here and the owners should be very proud to bring their little slice of Ireland to Second Life.  The little woodland area leading onto the beach where I learned about the tale of the Selkies was especially a highlight.  

What I Am Wearing:

Cloud Nine have made these wonderful 'Shenanigans Coordinator' tees for the Cheeky Monkey All Male and Shamrock Hunts this month that are an absolute steal at just 1L each!  Perfect to make some Shenanigans of your own with a friend or partner in.  Head to the website here to find these and many other wonderful prizes and exclusives.  The Female Tee will fit bodies Star, Erika, Lara X + Petite, Maitreya + Petite, Reborn, Waifus, Legacy and Ebody Reborn.  I am wearing it on Lara X.  The Male Tee will fit bodies Aesthetic, Legacy, Gianni and modelled here on Belleza Jake.     

#26 Midnight Stroll at Margarita Beach

Hello Lovelies 😊  So this was a rather lovely find tonight.  Feeling I needed a tropical location to match the vibe of my shirt, Margarita Beach caught my eye and did not disappoint.  So much love has gone into the creation of this place.  I am writing this while sat in the outdoors bar, watching the mist over the trees and listening to the tropical sounds all around me.  You instantly feel relaxed here.  I love that each level brings you something new to explore and encourages you to pause and relax.  There are lots of little romantic areas tucked away that are perfect for couples.  Tropical Gardens, spectacular beach, harbor and so much more, I urge you to come visit!  Do not miss the caves!  Loved them.

What I Am Wearing:

Today I am wearing this wonderful, bold, tropical slim fitting shirt from Harambee Gwassi - Kenya Charity Shop  which is part of a pair (with the other shirt being a solid blue) made to fit Signature, Slink, Adin, Gamit, Onupup, Fitmesh Classic and worn here on Belleza Jake.  These are EXCLUSIVE to the Cheeky Monkey Hunt 'All Male - Spring 4' Hunt until the end of March.  I am also wearing this rather fancy Steam Punk Watch from ::REA:: which comes in four colors, I am wearing the gold version.  They are copy, resizable, unisex and actual keep the correct time!  Definitely a statement piece worth adding to your collection and only 1L in the All Male Spring Hunt!

 

#25 Happy Go Lucky at Luanes World

Hello Lovelies 🙂  Spring has arrived at Luanes World - Le Monde Perdu and this is the closest I am feeling to it as in the RL world, we are still freezing here in the UK!  

Walking among the dunes, with the wild grasses and purple heathers revealing lots of little gems to explore, it's a place to pause, take your time and really enjoy the sites and sounds.  After a long walk, I slipped into my ever so cute lucky PJs and got ready for a snooze.  All that fresh spring air clearly tired me out on the walk 🐱.

What I Am Wearing:

With St Patrick's Day approaching on the 17th March, Cheeky Monkey Hunts are celebrating with a 'Shamrock and Shenanigans' Grid Wide Hunt which caters to Human and Dinkies alike.  I am LOVING these 'Happy Go Lucky' Pajamas from Peeps Dinkies.  Super cozy and stylish and great texture detail.  I feel these would work as Unisex and they are a steal at just 1L!  I urge you to RUN and look for the hidden lucky clover containing this wonderful prize.

I also want to highlight a wonderful build that is perfect for Spring which is this amazing Faeland Mushroom House by Roawenwood.  Feel free to come and test it Inworld and see the quality for yourself.  You will not be disappointed!  This beautiful Dinkie home fitted right in at Luane's World like it had always belonged there and would make for a super cute forest home I feel.  At just 28 prims it is not to prim heavy and perfect for a little retreat.  Faeland Mushroom Home is currently in the Spring Dinkie Hunt & Sale until the end of March for just 100L!  Treat yourself today 💖. 

 

#24 Midnight in Paris

Hello Lovelies 😊.  My goodness it's been like an eternity since I had a chance to relax and blog and I have missed it.  Christmas was the usual chaos of creating for Events and January was very cold here in the UK, so I have been hibernating.

So my first proper venture out to explore in 2025 was a magical place called 'Midnight in Paris' (seriously needs to be the name of a film!).  Arriving at the Metro you walk out into a city like no other.  Rain falling hard with the lights of the city bouncing in the puddles beneath your feet.  A thunderstorm grumbling in the distance.  You soak up the atmosphere as you take the bridge over the River Seine.  The Eiffel Tower comes into view.  One thing I was so happy to see here was the Eiffel Tower twinkling with lights, just as it does in the real world at the top of every hour (although you can capture this 24/7 in the SL world).  I have never found another place in SL that added this very special detail.  It brings back very special memories for me.  So I gazed for a while remembering before seeing what else there is to explore here.  Take time to wander the bistros and bars, the book stalls by the river.  It is a little peace of heaven.

What I Am Wearing:

Peeps Dinkies have bought out a gorgeous 'Sweetheart' range for this Valentine's Day.  I am wearing the 'Sweetheart Couples Pajamas Pink' (cos who says you can't wander Paris at night in your PJ's!) which has BOM pants and top.  I love the cozy fabric detail with simple polka dots on the pants and so many cuteee hearts on the top.  These are just 1L in the current Cheeky Monkey Hunt 'Love is All You Need 5'.  If you want to buy more of the range, there is also a similar Boy Outfit for 25L or a super cute Dress for 50L, both being EXCLUSIVE to the Hunt!

 

#23 Peek-a-Boo at Leloo!

 

Hello Lovelies.  It has definitely been a minute since I was last here.  The creative world has kept me super busy in the past month.  Halloween is always the busiest time of the year in Second Life I feel, with Christmas chasing not far behind!

I let the trusty Destination Guide find me somewhere fun to visit before bed last night and I was not disappointed with 'Leloo's World Boo Fest'.  This would be a wonderful place to come with friends as there is so much to see and explore plus many a fun photo op moment!  As a Brit, I don't think we embrace Halloween anywhere near as much as they do in the States so it is fun to enjoy the season at least in Second Life.  The creativity you see in this world never fails to blow my mind and there has clearly been a lot of time and care put in at Leloo's for visitors to enjoy.  I am back there now as I write this experiencing it again but in Dinkie style in a Pumpkin Boat being followed by Crocodiles!  I highly recommend you go visit!

What I Am Wearing:

Don't you love when you randomly unpack things you likely had sitting in your inventory for months, even years (that deffo is me!) and it's an 'Ooooh!' moment because it's pretty.  For me that was these super delicate, cute Tweety Bird Earrings by Dark Mouse Jewelry.  They are HUD Driven with 8 Colors for the Birds and 4 Metals and a real bargain at just 99L!  Hop to the Inworld Store and the link above will land you right in front of them.  I sadly could not find a Marketplace link to share for them but there is some really pretty designs to discover at the Inworld Store.

Friday has become one of my go to stores in Second Life for some real quality casualwear.  I could not resist their Tara Cardigan which is on offer this week as part of the Saturday Sale.  The Cardigan comes with optional Tee.  There are 8 Autumnal Colors for the Cardigan and 6 Color/4 Pattern Options for the Tee.  Absolutely perfect for fall so I bought the Fat Pack for a bargain 450L but there are 8 single options available this week at just 75L each!  I have paired it with the Friday Weekend Jeans in Coal that comes with optional belt and also version that should tuck into boots.  An absolute staple in my wardrobe!

Finishing the look with some cozy Uggs from KC Couture that come with a 50 Color HUD and are Unisex.  An absolute steal at 199L.  

Have a wonderful rest of your week everyone ♥

#22 SunRayz Coast

 

Hello Lovelies.  I had planned to go back and hang at Sea Breeze Garden today and experience it Dinkie style but it has gone!!  That is the sad reality of Second Life sometimes.  I could not see a relocation anywhere which is a real shame.  So with that I turned to the Destination Guide to see what's new and took myself to the Caribbean!  SunRayz Coast has so much to see!  For any Brits out there, as I landed it gave me real 'Death In Paradise' (UK TV show) vibes.  So vibrant here!  There is so much to see and experience from their art gallery and cafe, beach bar and a beautiful spot for beach weddings.  I felt very tranquil as I wandered around the island, exploring all the hidden away cozy spots ideal for couples.  As I write this I am sat on a swing at their beach bar with the waves crashing through my speakers.  Bliss!

What I Am Wearing:

I am LOVING this beautiful orange 'Take Me To the Beach" tee which also includes a scoop neck version if you prefer a more open style tee.  This was made by GPA Dinkies EXCLUSIVE to the CMH 'Life's a Beach 4' Hunt until the end of July.  I have matched the tee with my ever favorite Peeps Dinkie Deck Shoes.  With 50 colors on the HUD, you have so much choice to pair them with any outfit.  I also treated myself to some new Dinkie Dean Shorts today from Dinkie Boutique in Black Denim.  Always good to add a few staples to your closet I think and these are amazing quality mesh!  If you get a chance, do hop over and browse the stores at Petite Village.  I can definitely see a dedicated blog coming in the future as there is so much to experience here.  Enjoy! 😺

#21 Fam Time At The Firehouse

 

Hello Lovelies.  Even though I am usually in full introvert mode in both worlds most the time, I do like to at least be a little social over the weekends (or try to be!).  Tonight was a fun Family night at TFEG where there is a contest and good banter every Sunday night from 6-8pm SLT.  Next weeks theme is 'Christmas in July' if you fancy joining us.

What I Am Wearing:

I am a BIG fan of the Peeps Store who create some wonderful looks for Dinkies.  This entire outfit is beautifully made and comes with optional fire to wear!  You can wear as much or little of the outfit as you need.  This outfit contains a fire jacket, shirt & pants, boots, hat and extinguisher.  Smoking Hot Firefighter is also available in dress form for female Dinkies.
