#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. 

#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!

#34 Sugarberry Summer

 

Hi Lovelies 😊

Today I am here to share with you a bit of a 'Look Of The Day' with a couple items to really put the zing in your Summer wardrobes.

Firstly I just have to show you these fabulous pink palm tree nails which are just made for summer days at the beach!  They are rigged for Ebody, Kupra, Legacy, Peach and Maitreya (which I am wearing here on Lara X).  Runnnn to Sugarberry and grab these beauties for a stunning 25L!  They are one of the EXCLUSIVE prizes as part of the CMH 'Kawaii' Hunt until the end of July.

I am also wearing my staple rings that barely ever come off!  They come with 14 colors for the gems so I am always mix and matching them to my outfits as well as gold, bronze and rose pink metals to complete the look.  You will find them only at the E.Marie Mainstore and they are called 'Renita'.  I am also wearing these super cute 'Victoria' Earrings' by Michan which immediately caught my eye as the hearts took me on a nostalgia trip back to the 80's!  You can show or hide any part of the earrings you do not want on show and there are 6 colors you can mix and match the heart and trinkets with.  They are just 199L per set or you can go for golds and mix packs at 299L.  Buy them all for 450L😁.  

Happy Shopping Loves 🌞

#31 Hazy Summer Days at Silent Melody

 

Hi Lovelies 😊

With a rare heatwave currently here in the UK, it is far too hot to sleep!  So I felt in the mood for an adventure in Second Life.  I turned to the trusty Destination Guide to inspire my journey and that lead me to 'Silent Melody'.  I would suggest coming here when you can set aside a decent amount of time to fully enjoy it, either alone with with others.  It is one of the most detailed and well thought out regions I think I have ever seen.  There are so many hidden joys to discover, literally all over the Island plus a couple of secluded House Boats that feature some cozy, inviting decor that can be hired by the day if you have a special someone you wish to treat.  My personal favorite spots were the roof top gardens, the woodland walk and of course this fabulous Windmill!  I do rather love to visit Windmills in RL too so this was a real treat to find tonight.

What I Am Wearing:

'Gramma's Shoppe' have done it again and made this fabulous 'Smol But Mytee' Outfit as part of the 'CMH Summer Dinkie Hunt and Sale' which you can grab for just 1L at the Inworld Store until the end of June.  This outfit screams fun!  The clarity of the image on the tee is super sharp and a good conversation starter when you are wandering the SL world.  The tee and pants can be worn separately but really do work perfectly as an outfit.  Do not miss it!
