#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.

#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! 

#29 Summer Nights at Bachata Magica

Hi Lovelies 😊  With Summer so close now, I definitely wanted a Resort vibe tonight, and found that at Bachata Magica.  As I landed on the pier, there was a little jump scare moment from the gigantic shark head that filled my screen!  But as you wander into the very colorful, vibrant square it just feels warm and inviting.  There is a really beautiful beach club in the heart of it all and joining the group, I can see there are several DJ sets each week.  This is definitely a place to come, grab a drink and sway the night away!

What I Am Wearing:

Cheeky Monkey currently has their 'All Male Summer' Hunt on until the end of June and I just had to show you this quality 'Surfboards on Parade' Denim Waistcoat, which I am wearing here on Belleza Jake (also for Signature & Slink) which I urge you to run and grab for just 1L over at The Sissy Bar.  The Waistcoat works so well with Fashionatic's Carter Ripped Shorts in Black for a double denim look.

#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.

  

#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 ♥

#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.   

 

#19 Badu, Maldives

 

Hello Lovelies.  Tonight I decided to try out one of the latest resort destinations in SL, Badu, Maldives.  When I think of the real Maldives I think luxury, high end location with stunning beaches and the bluest of skies.  Not somewhere I could ever afford to visit in the real world sadly.  You arrive by their beautiful pool surrounded by loungers, bars and the sea peeking through the palms and exotic plants.  The resort does feel luxurious.  Somewhere that would be perfect for a couple on honeymoon or romantic trip as there are several beautifully decorated bungalows catering for all you could need.  You can follow the pathway around the island and discover the beach club, cute little hang out spots and so much more.  I ended my trip with a fun dash around the island on a Segway, making sure not to crash into people of course!  I would definitely recommend checking it out!

What I Am Wearing:

Today I want to focus on two gorgeous items in the 'Life's a Beach 4' Hunt that is currently running to the 31st July.  Mikki at The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co is definitely the Queen of Tees in SL!  Always bringing out some cheeky and fun themed tees that you need in your life.  Something literally for every occasion.  'Bring on the Sunshine' is EXCLUSIVE to the Hunt at just 25L!  I am also wearing some fabulous Beach Shell Nails from backSTORY which come hudded in 5 summer shades (I opted with white to match my outfit) and are an incredible 1L.  I love a classic nail and will be wearing mine all summer long!

Additionally I am wearing Oanez Earrings from Adore Amore which are currently in the Blue Moon Monday's Sale until Saturday.  Hudded with 20 gem colors, these will pair nicely with any outfit and are for the Lelutka Evox Human and Elf Ears.  I am also wearing Friday 'Weekend Jeans' in Cloud.  Friday are becoming one of my firm favorite stores, do check them out.

#18 Sunset Sands Retreat

Happy Sunday!  If you are looking for somewhere to unwind and relax be it alone or with a partner or friend, I have just the place!  I actually discovered Sunset Sands Retreat by pure chance when I was browsing Facebook.  I logged straight in to take a look before a million other things distracted me (as is the norm for SL lol).  

Just to sit and listen to the waves crashing onto the shore is something I absolutely adore.  It's a really pretty boho retreat and MyStory compatible.  Lots of lovely seating and dining areas throughout the resort and there is also a House Retreat that can be hired in 2 hour blocks which may be something fun for date night.  I found a teleporter to an event area and its so cute!  This would be a fab space for singers during the summer.  I am wishing there had been a subscriber in the event area to see what was coming up there.  There is a Group you can join though which mentions special accommodations for guests to enhance their stay so check it out.

What I Am Wearing:  Summer is almost here and I fancied something bright and tropical!  I am wearing one of my latest creations 'Sookie Dress' by Starlight Apparel which is HUD driven and comes with 25 Colors and 15 Patterns for the Dress plus 40 Strap Colors.  I am wearing it here on Maitreya LaraX but will also fit Legacy, Maitreya, Ebody Reborn/Waifus & Juicy Boobs and is currently EXCLUSIVE to the Trending SL Event until the 4th June. 

#17 Spring Walk at New Deer Isle

 

So what do you do when you are up late and wanna unwind... go for a spring walk in Second Life!  I had a little time to unwind tonight so took myself over to New Deer Isle which is a Region based on Maine in the US.  As I wandered past a Motel (with decorated rooms to rent), Coffee Shop and so much more, it gives a very warm, inviting feel.  There are sailable waters here if that is something you enjoy that lead out to the Mainland and so much more to enjoy.

What I Am Wearing:  Tonight I wanted to feature this pretty 'May Day' complete outfit (handbag and shoes included) made by Simple Terms which is EXCLUSIVE to the Cheeky Monkey Hunts 'A Few Of Our Favorite Things 3' Hunt on now until the end of May.  I am wearing it on Maitreya but it will also fit LaraX and Star bodies.  This is one of many amazing goodies in the May Hunt.  Don't miss it!

#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!  

#13 In The Midnight Hour

 

I'm definitely in a dark vibes mood at the moment now we are slipping into Autumn.  It's my favorite season of the year.  I love seeing the trees turn golden shades of red, yellow and orange but also the nights drawing in also give me that cosy, snuggly vibe.

I could not resist showing you this gorgeous 'Knit Me a Dream' Dress created by Psyche's Pstyle which is currently available for just 99L as part of the Blue Moon Monday's weekly sale from Sunday to Tuesday each week.  The dress wraps to my Maitreya body perfectly and comes with a HUD that has 8 colors and sizes to also fit Kupra, Legacy, Reborn and GenX Classic and Curvy.  Go grab this beauty now.

#12 No Blah, Blah, Blah!

No Blah, Blah, Blah start of the day for me!  What better way to awaken the senses than an early morning dip and walk by the sea.  This is one of my 'go to' beaches here at Bumrose Beach to have a wander and listen to the waves crashing, very tranquil.  Some nice chatty people here too usually but with nudity allowed a lot more happens too!  

What I am Wearing:

Today I am wearing 'Cheeky Girl Outfit' by SLW Design.  HUD driven with 6 Bright Colors and Fun Slogans for Maitreya Lara & Petite, Legacy & Perky and Ebody Reborn.  You can find it in this weeks round of the Blue Moon Mondays Weekend Sale from now until Tuesday at 12pm for the fabulous price of just 69L!  There are some amazing bargains to be had in Blue Moon Mondays.  Don't miss them!

 

#11 Hashima Island

 

I love seeing what's new in the Destination Guide and today I chose something rather incredible, Hashima Island.  This place is stunning in it's detail.  I don't think I have ever experienced anything like this in my decade plus time in Second Life.

You arrive at the Ferry Port to an old coal mining community.  It is like walking out to a place where disaster has struck and nature has slowly taken over.  Little fires still burning, deserted homes, everything left like people ran in a hurry.  Extremely thought provoking.  I urge you to go visit!

What I am Wearing:

This weekend I am showcasing some of the amazing fashion that you can find at this weeks Cheeky Weekends  sales event until Monday at 12pm.  Today I am wearing this fab skirt and top outfit from Sugar & Spice Designs.  You can buy Cassy Outfit in single sets but I completely recommend the full HUD set which is huge value for your lindens.  On top of plain colors there are some really sweet designs on the tees as well as extra patterns like the one I am wearing but you definitely need to come see.  The HUD set is 50% off here until Monday.  

#9 Love... or Hate?

Love or Hate?  I'll take love anytime!  With Valentine's nearly upon us it can stir many emotions.  So do you celebrate Valentine's?  Even more so, how do you celebrate it in Second Life or is it a day that just passes you on by?

What I am wearing:

Getting into the Valentine spirit I popped on this fab slogan t-shirt by OPOPOP!

which is part of the Dawson Male Valentine T-Shirt range.  There are 5 Male slogan tees to choose from in this range that fit Belleza Jake, Legacy and Signature Gianni and there are also matching tees available for the ladies in the 'Dawn' range.  You can grab these right now at the Cheeky WOW! Event until the 25th February for 69L each!

 

#7 Autumn is Coming

Autumn is coming, yes!  Summer has been way too hot for me in England this year so I am counting down the days for my favorite season to begin.  The beauty of Second Life is we can have any season any time but I do especially love to wander in the autumn time and see all the beautiful colors and vibes of the season.  Urban City is a great place to wander if you love a realistic city vibe. Every time I am there I always spot something new.  There is a lot of love gone into this place which has a residential area that leads into the city district full of beautiful stores catching your eye as you pass and their new monthly event 'Them', a unisex monthly Event is well worth a visit.

What I am wearing:

Today I am wearing my latest release, Zadie which is a wrap top and leggings that come in 10 patterns/colors perfect for chilling in on those Autumnal days or just every day wear, for me at least.  This set is EXCLUSIVE to the Vanity Event open on the 18th August.

I also recently released 'Parris' Sneakers in 30 colors which match up perfectly with Zadie.  I have popped these out at Vanity but they are also available on Marketplace.  Demos are available.

 

#6 Summer's Day at Luane's World

 

If you want to find a peaceful, visually stunning beach for some much needed 'me' time, you will not be disappointed with Le Monde Perdu at Luane's World.  It gave me that 'just arrived on vacation' feel with the choice of do you go and unpack or just head straight to the beach vibe.  I was straight to the nearest vacant deckchair, eyes closed and relax to the sound of the waves.

What I am wearing:

I am LOVING this Justice Bandana Top made by Totally Random which comes hudded in 9 colours plus there is an extra surprise on the HUD itself which I will let you all discover for yourselves.  It fits my Maitreya body beautifully.  You can buy this at 50% off over at the Cheeky WOW! Event Room until 25th June.  Don't miss it!  You will be wearing this all summer long!

Blueberry is pretty much my go to for classic denim.  The Power Play Denim skirts are perfectly fitted with optional panties attached.  The belt can also be hidden if you prefer.

#5 Longing For Summer Days

 

Wow, it's been a long while since I had chance to actually explore or blog.  Most my time in Second Life is following my passion for creating, running events and hunts so I relish the moments I get some time just for me.

Over in the real world, it feels like it has been winter forever in the south of England.  Here we are in March and it's still freezing!  I am longing for warm sunny summer days with a nice breeze.  So with that in mind, I took myself to one of my favourite spots in Second Life, Soul2Soul Coast.  Soul2Soul have some amazing regions, all with different themes and are my go to if I want to just relax and wander while i listen to the gulls and the waves lapping onto the shore. 

What I am wearing:

I am LOVING this vibrant 'Wilde' Chained Body Suit by Ari-Pari which is hudded with 10 vibrant tropical shades and a choice of 6 metals.  It feels flirty with a hint of classy.  Not everything has to hang out at the beach lol!  I would urge you to check out the Farah Earrings also, hudded with 6 metals to pick from and FREE!  Yup, that's right, freaking free!!  You can find both at the Cheeky WOW! Event open now until the 25th.

I am also using a fun 'HappyKawaii' Pose by LDK Poses which is the FREE GIFT at Cheeky69! Sales Event.  Do check out her other amazing and affordable poses too.
