#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😊.

#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.

 

#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!
