It has been a busy weekend and I didn’t get to check out any of my usual weekend shopping events so I am going to keep this short and sweet.  All of my featured items can be found at The Liaison Collaborative which opens today at noon SLT.  See how easy that was!

I have also used other sponsored items, not necessarily new but I like to give a shout out to those creators to continue to help me make pretty pictures!  Thank you  Serenity Style, DaD Virtual Living, Cheeky Pea and TLC Home Collection!

Featuring ViSion and Lyrium

Today I am featuring a new release from ViSion.  It is the perfect dress to pair with your favorite accessories because the dress is clean and simple but the ruffle and belt add the perfect amount of detail while still letting you add your favorite necklace, earrings, handbag, etc.  I’ve gone with a bold earring, one of my favorite pairs and a cute handbag.  The Malea dress comes in 30 colors and you get 2 versions with each as well as a hud for the belt.  There is also a fatpack available.  You can find the Malea dress at Access.

I am also featuring another pose series from Lyrium.  This one is from the Ninna Static series which includes 5 poses and their mirrors.  It also comes in gentle breathing animations that have hand and leg movement options.  I love that Lyrium’s poses makes it easy to accessorise for photos without altering hand positions.  My handbag fit perfectly into my hand with zero fuss!  You can find and demo the Ninna poses and animations at Equal10.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

This picture was so fun.  I can’t get to the beach so this was the next best thing.  I mentioned the other day that my husband and I were starting to plan in ernest, a vacation for next year and I have been looking at a LOT of beautiful white sand beach photos.  It has totally gotten me in a summer mood and I will now confess to ordering one of those inflatable pools and and a nice vinyl covered foam lounger/mattress.  The pool is 10′ x 6′ and just shy of 2 feet deep which is plenty big enough to hold me and my mattress.  Also shallow enough to use the water to water my plants when I am done for the day.  That way the water is not wasted and I don’t have to worry about crawling into it with bugs and ick the next time…..and all in the privacy of my own backyard.  I can’t wait!

Today I am featuring this adorable romper from Aleutia.  I just love it!  It is so cute and the fit is amazing.  I comes in great summer colors and you can choose from four different levels of sheerness.  You can find it at FaMESHed.

I am also featuring a new set of super cute poses from Lyrium…of course all of Lyrium’s poses are so cute.  She really pays attention to all the details…leg, hand and finger position.  The Christie series comes in a static version and an animated version.  I have my Firestorm AO filled with Lyrium animated poses and I rarely go back to my Vista AO anymore.  Definitely check out the animated set if you want a cute AO that doesn’t have you moving 5 feet across the room or standing robot still.  You can find the Christie series at Access.

Need to get your Second Life beach in shape?  Well hopefully you grabbed these fun lawn/beach chairs and camper coolers when they were on sale a couple of weeks ago but if you missed them then they are STILL totally worth the price.  The Lawn Chair includes a hud so you can choose from a selection of colors and it also includes wearable props.  There is even a version that you can attach and wear so you can use it at any sim without needing rez rights.  The Camper Drinks Cooler includes versions that give beer & soda, just beer or just soda.  There are 3 textures to choose from on touch.  You can find both of these items at the main store.

Double posting today since I was super busy with work last week.  Since I do decor and fashion blogging it works out great when I need to play a little catch up!  Of course playing catch up for me doesn’t mean I am behind…it just means I am not ahead…which is where I like to be! 

My hubby and I went to lunch today and were discussing vacation plans.  As much as I love Disney, I really want to go somewhere tropical.  Somewhere with beautiful beaches, gorgeous water in shades of blue and turquoise (no sharks allowed), fruity drinks and fresh pineapple.  I like to plan ahead so we are planning this for next spring when hopefully most everything will have returned to the way it was pre-Covid.  Thanks to our tax return and our stimulus check we are debt free other than our house and one of the cars so we are ready to reward ourselves with a special vacation.  Have you been somewhere amazing?  Let me know in the comments and I’ll add it to my research list!

I am featuring a beach perfect bikini from ZK Store.  The Sabri bikini is available at Cosmopolitan and comes in 8 colors as well as a fatpack with 22 colors.  It includes the pretty chain with also has metal color options.  

I am also featuring a new pose set from Lyrium.  The Riana set comes in a static series and an animated series.  It is just finishing its run at Dubai so you should be able to find it in the mainstore very soon.  Lyrium also has new releases at Access and Equal10!  You can be sure you will see those in my blog very soon!  Have a great day!

“Let us be lovers, we’ll marry our fortunes together
I’ve got some real estate here in my bag”
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And walked off to look for America
“Kathy”, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
“Michigan seems like a dream to me now”
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I’ve gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said “Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera”
“Toss me a cigarette, I think there’s one in my raincoat”
“We smoked the last one an hour ago”
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
“Kathy, I’m lost”, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They’ve all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

Happy Saturday everyone!  The sun is shining and I have some yard work I’d like to get done today.  I wish yard upkeep in the real world was as easy as it is in the virtual world.  Let’s get straight to the goods!

I am wearing pieces from the Cali set by ZK Store.  The Cali sweater includes an optional scarf and the shorts have options for metal colors.  There are also matching shoes and socks.  Great pieces in pretty colors for spring!  You can find it at the mainstore.

My pose is from Lyrium and it is available at their brand new, beautiful mainstore.  It is from the Hills Series which comes in a static version as well as breathing animations.  Be sure to check out the new sim Lyrium shares with Lunar and Sweet Art and don’t forget to pick up the new group gift!

Well, they say all good things must come to an end and so this is going to be my very last blog post!  (Insert lonnnnnnnnggggggggggg pause here.)  GOTCHA!  April fools!  My daughter and I have a long history of trying to catch each other with a great April Fool’s joke but after several years we have both learned to be on the watch for a one of our usually silly pranks.  I do love when I am able to pull off a great one though.

I was a dock manager for a large department store a few years back and my crew was mostly male.  As they were unloading a delivery truck I very casually stepped inside, pretending to want to inspect some of the contents and then in my very best shrill girly voice screamed SNAKE!  You should have seen them scatter!  I nearly wet myself and could barely get out the words “April Fool’s” from laughing.  We all talked and laughed about that for a long time!  They were a great crew, mostly college students, and I hope they are all doing great things!

And so for the record…I ain’t going nowhere! LOL

My featured item today is this super cute halter from Aleutia.  For me it has a total 70’s vibe to it…and I should know…I was there!  The Thyme Top comes in 16 colors, 4 mini packs and of course a fatpack with bonus colors.  Each color includes the top in 2 opacities, including single colors.  You can find Thyme at Uber!
