Exploring SL

Hi everyone! I am at the Chinese New Year festival, and it is so festive here! The  build is so fabulous, and the event is well organized, so it was super easy to shop while standing in one location. I even braved the crowds and took my blog pictures here, and there was no lag.

Did you know that this is the Year of the Horse?

I felt lucky, so played a few gacha machines and didn’t get anything I wanted LOL!!! Note to self: don’t gamble, ever. I still had fun checking out the event anyway, and dressing up for these pictures. I didn’t find any outfits at the event that was festive enough, so I looked around and found the perfect Cheongsam dress from The Sugar Garden. This dress is slightly sexier than a traditional Cheongsam, but that’s what I like about it. The only thing that I dislike about this dress is the horrible rigging on the mesh skirt and the sizes didn’t fit me right (small was way too small, and medium floated away from my waist). If you want something cute and cheap for CNY, this dress is just $100L — but you do get what you pay for, the quality is just okay. The attached collar was inside my chest when worn, so if you’re my size or bigger, you may have to cam inside to re-position it.

What I’m Wearing:

Pink Fuel Skin
Exile – Quiet Afterthought
The Sugar Garden – Sexy Cheongsam Dress (Red)
Ingenue – Pickford Heels (Cherry)
Tokame – Red Envelopes (open) + CNY
Zaara – Kashiti Bobble Ring (Pearl) Gold
Flair – Nail Hud Add On – Slink Avatar Enhancement – Set 163

I went to Coney Island by myself! Usually I love having a whole sim to myself, but I think this sim is haunted. It was creepy being alone, wish you guys were here! My look today was more Wintery, but I changed my shoes at the last-minute, so it has more of an Autumn vibe. I love this LUCK sweater from Emery, it does look cozy!

What I’m Wearing:

Truth hair – Katya
Emery – Sweater Luck Blue (S)
Monso – My First Jeans (Deep Blue) S
Ingenue – Pickford Heels (Cherry)

I visited Maria Lynn Falls, a gorgeous sim inspired by the beauty of Kerala, India. I love this sim’s decor so much, there were animals and flowers everywhere! Have you guys visited any gorgeous sims lately?

What I’m Wearing:

Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Truth – Ursula (Swedish)
Teefy – Milena Ruffle Blouse Short (Creme) S

You might have already seen the Neva River sim featured on a few dozen SL blogs. I’m late to the party, but I tend to avoid places that are over-hyped, cos I know it will be extremely crowded and I can’t de-render anyone or anything since I use the official SL Viewer. Finally, I went today, cos I wanted to see it once before it closes to the public.

I was sick all week, but I’m feeling a lot better now. Send me some good vibes, cos being sick was just awful awful awful awful awful.

I’m loving this new Caprice hairstyle from Truth so much, that I haven’t taken it off for days. It’s so sweet, and one of my favorites. Also, the other half of Mon Tissu released some lovely Collared Shirts, and Tulip Shorts. The shirt includes a long version, and a short (tucked in) version. This outfit is so casual, perfect for exploring new SL sims! 🙂

What I’m Wearing:

Pink Fuel – Sora (Peach)
Truth – Caprice (Swedish)
Mon Tissu – Collared Shirt (S) Denim Light
Mon Tissu – Tulip Shorts (S) Gingham
Monso – My Studded Oxford (White)

It’s so interesting how my skin tone today, looks super pale against the Ink lipgloss/lipstick from Pink Fuel. This is the same tone that I always wear (Peach), but I think with dark lipstick, the contrast is more striking. I love the look, reminds me of a Goth doll. I didn’t notice the texture bleed on my fishnet stockings until after I had cropped and posted this picture, so…. try to ignore that! 😀

I am exploring the Just Visiting sim today, as seen on Ziki’s blog post. This gorgeous water sim is the perfect place to practice water-mirror photography. My graphics card acted up a lil, so I had to turn my draw way low. I can’t wait for my fixed one to arrive (it’s at the EVGA factory), so for now, I’m still using my old Nvidia GTX 260, ugh.

What I’m Wearing:

Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (dkbrow/crease)
Pink Fuel – INK Lipgloss
Truth – Ursula (Espresso)
BOOM – Duveteux Rayonnant Jacket (Cobalt) Small
Monso – My Crochet Sweater (Bra/Black)
Mandala – Smexy Tie Necklace (Cross) Urushi Black
BlowPop – Fishnets Tights w/ Panty (Black)
Happy Undead – Mini Skirt (Vinyl Black) M
Monso – My Combat Ankle Boots (Black) Girls
RezIpsa Loc – Raven Nails

Hi everyone! I checked out a few residential estate sims last night, and some of them are very well landscaped. I don’t really want to admit this, but I totally miss my homestead sim! I miss having my beach house on the ground, and the shimmering SL water.

Where do you live in SL? On the ground? In the sky? Do you prefer beachy, grassy, or some other terrain?

What I’m Wearing:

Truth – Devina (Swedish)
Monso – My Overall (Bleached Blue) Size2
Monso – My Fabric Oxford
BOOM – Everyday Tank (Baby Blue) No Sheer
LaGyo – Starla Necklace & Ring
