#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!

#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😊.

#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.

#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! 

#28 Star Lake Resort & Sector 51

 

Hi Lovelies 😊  So it definitely has been a while (again!).  Today is the first day I have wanted to be back on my Dinkie since the RL version I named after him, my beautiful boy Tootsie passed away in April at nearly 20 years old.  It feels a bit surreal to be Inworld and not have him sat next to me in the real world watching over what I am doing.  I miss him very much.

Today I am over at Star Lake Resort & Sector 51 which is very futuristic, set in the year 2077.  As cliche as it sounds, to me at least, very 'Bladerunner' vibes... and I LOVE that!  This is one of those places where you are at awe with how much detail it has taken to bring this space to life.  There is also a games room here, bowling and even a MechDonalds!  I took a slow wander, just taking it all in before hoping in a flying taxi to let it zoom me around the city.  I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and hope you will too.

What I Am Wearing:

I am loving this cool 'Embrace The Dark Side' outfit from 'Gramma's Shoppe' and is only available Inworld for an incredible 10L!  What an absolute steal honestly for any Dinkies on a budget!  I matched them with some cool Kai Sneakers from Starlight Dinkies which come with a HUD that gives you 30 color options to match all your outfits all summer long.

  

#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!

 

#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.   

 

#16 BlossomVale in Venice

 

Today I was in the mood for a new adventure and went to the trusty Destinations Guide to see what was new in the world of Second Life.  BlossomVale of Venice immediately jumped off the page to me as the place to go!  I loveeee Italy and could not resist exploring Venice in SL.

BloomsVale has been beautifully thought out in its planning and whimsical feel as you wander through the streets and along the canals filled with gondola's.  There is so much detail here that I feel multiple visits you could always find something new to see.  There is a stunning wedding venue for elopements and a fabulous stage for live performances.  I joined the group inworld in hopes of catching a performance here in the future.  I finished my trip this time with a relaxing balloon ride over the city. 

What I Am Wearing:  GHOSTRAVEN PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE DINKIES have created this gorgeous Blue Floral Outfit which just screams perfect for Spring!  I love the sharp clarity of the blue floral pattern on the shirt and the bottoms come as both shorts and trousers, with or without a belt.  I feel very smart but casual and this was just such a perfect look for Venice.  I am also wearing [Peeps] Dinkie Deck Shoes which I likely will live in most the spring and summer!  You can find the GPA Blue Floral Outfit EXCLUSIVE to the Cheeky Monkey Hunt this month, 'A Few Of Our Favorite Things 3' Hunt along with Human versions too.  Don't miss it!

 

#15 Elvion

 

Today I am debuting my Dinkie, Tootsie to my Blog.  Last year I decided I wanted to make a Dinkie that looked similar my RL cat Tootsie and being a Dinkie bought a whole new joy to my Second Life.  

Today's venture took me to the beautiful town of Elvion - Blackbird Edition which is a lush, green land filled with beautiful scenery and landscapes to explore.  There are forest trails, a cozy Harbor and so much more to see.  Perfect for a peaceful nature walk or somewhere to venture as a couple.  My personal highlight was sat listening to the waves crashing near the Windmill which felt very soothing.

What I Am Wearing:  I just had to break out my crown to complete this look today!  This beautiful waistcoat outfit by GHOSTRAVEN PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE DINKIES looks very high fashion, and there is a human version too!  There is several ways you can dress this outfit with alternative trousers, black shirt, bow tie and more to personalize it to your needs.  You can find all the versions (including a Dinkie matching gown) EXCLUSIVE to the Cheeky Monkey 'Hollywood Glamour 2' Hunt until the end of April.  Do not miss it!
