#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. 

#41 Love To Decorate Holly and Frost Faire

 

Hi Lovelies ❆

Today I managed to encourage Hubby to join me (reluctantly) for a little Christmas shopping trip to Love To Decorate Holly and Frost Faire.  This region also hosts the Enchantment Events across the year which are always stunningly decorated so I knew I was in for a treat.  The Faire is open until 5th January so may be somewhere to pop and shop during the holidays.  You can expect to find top end designers here like Nutmeg, Oh Deer, Dahlia and more with some very affordable festive decor, 50L specials and free gifts too!  Definitely worth checking out.

What I Am Wearing:

Ari-Pari has creating a beautiful reindeer knit dress with 10 festive colors included on a HUD, ideal for mix and matching with your partner or friends.  Fitting Ebody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya and I am wearing it on Lara X.  You can grab this beauty for an incredible 1L until the end of December as part of the 'CMH Candy Cane Wishes 5' Hunt'.  I have paired it with my winter staple, KC Couture Unisex Short Ugg Boots.  With 50 Color options for the Boots, Trim, Inside and Sole, you can easily co-ordinate with any winter style.

Hubby is wearing a super cozy knit 'Up To Snow Good' Sweater with attached shirt from Cloud Nine with a beautiful, bold snowman design.  The sweater fits Gianni, Geralt, Legacy, Aesthetic and is worn here on Belleza Jake.  You can grab this stunning knit for just 1L as part of the CMH All Male Winter 4 Hunt until the end of December.  He has paired the sweater with some Caligula Sharpman Chino Pants which are Hudded with 21 Colors, coming with and without tucked shirt options.  Fitting Classic, Slink, Legacy, Gamit, Gianni and Jake, this was a steal at just 99L!  Finishing the look with one of my own creations, Ben Loafers from Starlight Apparel.  Hudded with 10 Colors, 10 Striped Colors and 4 Sole Colors these really are flexible for all seasons and will fit Slink, Gianni, Legacy and Jake.

#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.

#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😊.

#36 Love Valley Autumn

 

Hello Lovelies 🍂

Finally... My favorite season is upon us!  I absolutely LOVE Autumn.  It most definitely is the most beautiful season to explore and as nights draw in, what better time than to spend a cozy evening exploring some incredible Autumn Regions in Second Life!  I hope to bring you a few worth a visit across the season so let us begin at Love Valley Autumn.

You arrive to a sea of stunning golden colors, a beautiful forest like setting spread across two regions.  This is definitely somewhere to really take your time to explore.  I was drawn to wander the trails that you felt you just had to see!  There are lots of areas to picnic and camp, all conveniently here ready for you to enjoy.  Tucked away cottages in the woods as lighting and rain roar outside.  Very romantic!  The perfect place to snuggle and stay dry from the storm together maybe.  The second region continues this theme but is more Equestrian based with a race track, stables and riding trail.  Not something I have tried as of yet in Second Life but maybe this may tempt me to come back and try it out another night.  I hope you enjoy this stunning Region.

What I Am Wearing:

Today I want to highlight a couple of items I love from the CMH All Male Autumn Hunt 4 which is on now until the end of September.  Pynkie have created a fabulous batty face tattoo with a choice of Faded or Fresh BOM (I am wearing the Fresh).  I love the simplicity of this tattoo, subtle and yet you are drawn to look at it.  I don't think I will be removing it until after Halloween!  It's a must have! 

While you are wandering among the Autumn Regions, is this tee just the perfect positive message to share?  I think so.  'Beleaf' by Good Vibes is designed for Legacy, Gianni and I am wearing it on Jake.  The message is on both front and back and in this current world, we could all use some 'Beleaf' in Ourselves.  Enjoy Loves 💖

#35 Shop Til You Splash at 'Under The Sea'

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 🌞

#30 Sunshine On My Mind at Kona Beach

 

Hi Lovelies 😊  Following on from a beautiful evening at Bachata Magica, a restful beach day was needed and with 'Sunshine on my Mind' I headed to a true staple in Second Life, Kona Beach.  In a virtual world that is always evolving, I love that places like Kona still exist and are still thriving!  There is a bit of something for everyone here.  For me personally, I love to sit and listen to the waves and watch people surfing.  There is horse riding, jet skis, fishing and plenty of ways to interact and make new friends.  Equally there are some beautiful more secluded spots for a romantic date or just to unwind together (or alone as you wish!).  Don't miss a turtle ride through the underwater world!

What I Am Wearing:

Continuing on my focus on Menswear in the Cheeky Monkey Hunt 'All Male Summer Hunt' this week, today I am wearing this bold statement tee 'Sunshine On My Mind' from Cloud Nine.  Loving the vibe of this tee!  It is also available for women in the All The Colors 4 hunt incase you fancy matching with your love.  You can grab these for 1L each!! and wear them all summer long.  I am wearing mine on Belleza Jake, but they also will fit Signature Gianni, Legacy and Aesthetic.

I paired the tee with some equally bold and beautiful cargo shorts that matched perfectly!  You can grab these EXCLUSIVELY at Harambee-Gwassi - Kenya Charity Shop with all proceeds going towards charity.  They have been dedicated to raising funds for schools in Kenya since 2008.  The shorts will fit Belleza Jake, Slink, Legacy, Signature Gianni, Ocasin Gamit and Classic Avatars.  Also included with the shorts is a Butterfly Necklace that matches the shorts colors perfectly.

#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.

  

#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!

 

#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.   

 

#20 Sea Breeze Garden

 

Hello Lovelies.  Today I visited one of the most magical places I have seen in some time which is Sea Breeze Garden.  This is absolutely my idea of a slice of heaven!  I love the peace and tranquility here as you wander through the field of pretty blue flowers towards the sea.  This region has been well thought out with many spots for couples to spend time together and equally some little hidden areas ideal if you just want to have some quiet alone time.  I have always loved listening to the sound of waves crashing on a beach in Second Life and can see myself coming here often when I need to decompress from the world.  I urge you to come visit!

What I Am Wearing:

Today I am continuing on with highlighting designers currently in the 'Life's a Beach 4' Hunt.  Blink2Wink has made this gorgeous teal 'Beach Body' Swimsuit which is fitting my LaraX body perfectly!  With just a hint of transparency it really is so pretty and giving me mermaid vibes.  It is an absolute steal at just 1L!  Do not miss it!  I am also once again wearing the fabulous Beach Shell Nails from backSTORY, today in teal color as they match the swimsuit perfectly!  The nails are hudded in 5 perfect summer shades also for 1L.  Runnnn and grab these amazing deals ♥

#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!
