This entire outfit screams kawaii! I love the new Kyoko hairstyle from Truth; it includes two bangs options and a face mask with color-changing HUD. I’m just thrilled when Teefy release a complete outfit (top & bottom) cos it’s guaranteed that I’ll love it. I don’t like when I have to find my own bottom or top, cos they don’t always fit well together. This Brooklyn top and Joey skirt from Teefy is super adorable, comes in a variety of colors and patterns to mix-and-match.
The Creative Workspace set from The Secret Store is clearly a work of art. I’m guessing that the drawings are Maylee’s art (buy her art on Etsy)! I like everything about this set, especially all the art brushes, paints, and a drawings. The only thing missing was a chair, so I just paired it with a random chair from Tres Blah. I also resized everything up just a bit, so that it’s the same scale as the rest of the furniture in my home.

Sparkle landscaping my new Copperfield Heights cottage
Did I ever tell you guys that I’m a recovering Linden Homes addict?
It’s actually been pretty easy this past year to work on my addiction, mostly because Tiki, Aspen Ridge, and Ridgewood Enclave just weren’t for me. I tried Tiki for about a week or so, just to give it a fair shot. Aspen Ridge and Ridgewood Enclave? I didn’t even try them. I knew on sight they weren’t my thing, and that made it a lot easier to stay “in recovery.”
So last Thursday, Second Life released the newest Linden Homes theme, Copperfield Heights. It caught me off guard because there wasn’t really any hype leading up to it. No big buildup. I wasn’t expecting anything new at all.
I didn’t even love these on sight either. They launched with winter terrain and landscaping, and the houses didn’t really blend into the all-white surroundings. It felt a little harsh visually. And honestly, I wasn’t even wanting another Linden Home. I’ve been doing so well.
But FOMO is FOMO.
So I rolled.
There are definitely things I don’t love. Some of the textures don’t line up perfectly. There’s no white interior wood trim. No back doors on some of the homes. None of it is a deal breaker for me, but it’s also not great. They’re just those little details you notice and wish were done a bit better.
At the same time, there are things I really like. The built-in porches are nice. There’s slight PBR, but it’s not overly shiny like the Aspen Ridge homes. And the houses can absolutely lean cottage if you want them to. That’s what I wanted. A girly cottage. So I made one.

What really sets this theme apart from the previous fifteen is that it’s available for all premium membership levels. Plus members can get a 512. Premium members get a 1024. Premium Plus gets the largest 2048 homes. I think that’s a really good move. The regions are seasonal as well, which we were recently introduced to with Aspen Ridge, and I do like having that variety.
I wouldn’t say I’m completely in love with Copperfield Heights, but I do think I could be happy with one. The one I have now is on a finished edge, and that’s good enough for me.
Sparkle already started landscaping for me, and she says if I leave she’ll unalive me, so I guess I’m staying.

Interior – the fireplace works!
So. much. brown. wood.

IBIZARRE recently released a pair of Crinkle Zipper Leggins that caught my eye. I love the texture on these (featured in center outfit) and they include zippered and non-zippered option, along with gorgeous sculpted cuffs. A quick glance around the IBIZARRE shop shows a vast range of styles and outfits ranging from casual pieces to glam dresses.
IBIZARRE has been around for a long time now (Anyusha Lilienthal was one of the first renters on my sim last year) and I'm totally impressed at how much her design skills and shop has grown over the year.
I have many friends who choose to play an avatar that’s the opposite of their gender IRL. However, NONE of them carry out romantic relationships without informing their SL partner first, of their RL gender. I think that’s the best way to be, even if your partner is infatuated with your SL pixels, they deserve to know. Let them decide if they want to carry on the relationship, don’t decide for them. Truth is best, don’t you think?
Oh Chloe, you’re irresistible. I’ve been having issues with my SL eyes popping out of my head (SL glitch?), so I’m wearing Chloe’s eyes again. Iris wrote a great review of Chloe over at NWN, and included links to reviews done by other SL residents too. If you still think we all look the same, look again! I think my Chloe doll has a Gogo flavor, and is different from everyone else!
Check out this new Beyond the Waves hairstyle from Exile. It’s so lovely, and can be worn with the color-changing flowers or without. I’m also trying a new hair color today — Mahogany, instead of my usual and darker Swiss color. Exile also has some gorgeous Pink fades, I promise to make a look with some pastel hair colors soon!

Truth has just released 3 adorable new hairstyles as well! I am loving Kirsty’s wavy pigtails & the sweet Berry hairstyle has a color-changeable hair flower. I’ll probably be wearing Berry a lot, cos I love that sweet island-beachy-girl look.
