    Stillwater Village

    Hello from Stillwater Village! I needed a pretty place to show off my pretty new teacup from Sparkle Skye, so I found this gorgeous estate and decided it was the perfect backdrop for these photos. The trick to crashing an estate in Second Life is simple: act like you belong. Stand in front of houses or public buildings, but steer clear of homes where people are inside. I’ve never once been asked to leave. Most estates are surprisingly welcoming to bloggers and photographers.

    A little bird told me that today is Truth Hawk’s birthday, so happy birthday to one of the most prolific hair creators in Second Life. Thank you for two decades of beautiful styles! One of my earliest memories is wandering into Truth’s shop in an urban region, back when he only sold clothing. Are you old enough in Second Life to remember that? It feels like things have come full circle now that Truth is releasing clothing again. This top might be a little nipply, but I don’t care. It’s cute, it’s still modest in its own way, and I love it.

    I spent the entire month of August without shopping. I survived retail blackout and came out the other side.

    Now I’m back just in time for autumn cozy vibes and everything the grid has to offer.

    It’s finally sweater weather, and I couldn’t be happier! I’m absolutely loving my cozy Hooded Fur Jacket from Coco. The ad for the jacket is adorable, too, showcasing the designer sporting a hairstyle from Truth that I have as well—it’s such a cute look that I’ve been wearing it non-stop for days. I must say, the brunette Gogo vibe is striking! It’s a refreshing change from my usual blonde.

    While snapping pictures at The Bradbury Project, I couldn’t help but appreciate how much easier posing is thanks to Tillie’s Pose Stand with HUD. It allows me to take all my favorite poses on the go without rummaging through my inventory or fussing with a pose stand. In addition to posing, when you’re using the stand, you can easily rotate and move your avatar, save camera positions, and so much more.

    To share the experience, I created a quick video demonstrating the amazing lighting features and the backdrop that comes with this pose stand. Of course, you can mix things up like I do, using a standalone HUD along with your own light balls or experimenting with your own EEP settings for lighting. For just L$600, it’s genuinely been one of my best purchases ever.

    While some people prefer a simple pose stand without a HUD or stick to playing poses directly from their inventory, that just feels too chaotic for me. Prior to the bento era, I had over 2,000 poses saved in my Tillie pose stand. Then I decided I wanted more realistic fingers poses in all my photos, which led me to create a new pose stand dedicated to bento poses. I’m now up to over 600 poses, and I love every single one! After all, the pose truly makes the photo—it’s the small details that really make an image pop!

    Do you use a pose stand or pose HUD? Let me know in the comments!

    Drizzle

    Hello from Cherishville! This stunning autumn region is a must-visit for any fall enthusiast and photographer. It’s finally feeling like autumn here, and I couldn’t be happier. Bring on the rainy days and cozy vibes!

    Even in the rain, when my energy drink cravings hit, I find myself walking to the store to grab one. This NRG can from Flair is amazing—it features an animated drink opening sequence and even includes a static hold pose. Plus, it comes with a handy HUD to change colors!

    I’m always on the hunt for staple pieces to add to my wardrobe. Recently, I picked up the Archer top and Micro shorts from Tres Blah. They pair beautifully with the Alexa Overknee Legwarmers from Gawk.

    Starlight Skies

    Hello from Starlight Skies! This is my friend Sparkle’s Linden Home that she turned into a magical sparkly forest. She was able to accomplish a lot on a prims budget! Depending on what happens with region pricing once Linden Lab is fully on the cloud; we might bring back some of our regions. I’m ready to do a beach region and park it next to Sparkle’s sparkly forest.

    Starlight Skies

    Autumn is here!! Bring on the crisp weather and holiday festivities; I’m ready for it! Looking forward to all of the cooler weather fall fashion in SL too. Do you like the changing seasons in SL? Which is your favorite season? Let me know in the comments!

    Coffee Time

    Did you read the latest blog post about new improvements and fees? I’m super excited about Animesh! I can’t wait to have clothing and curtains that sways gently. As usual, there is some uproar about the fee for processing credit increasing from 1.5% to 2.5%, but that’s just the cost of doing business. Linden Lab could easily charge for a “business license” of $1,000USD a year and people would pay it, as long as they’re able to profit from their SL businesses.

    In the decade that I’ve been in SL, I have not seen a single brand quit over ‘fees’ – but some do make a bunch of noise, and quit when they stop making a profit. My favorite brands aren’t going anywhere, as long as we keep supporting them with our lindens!

    Coffee Time

    Speaking of favorite brands, What Next is easily one of my favorite home decor brands at the moment. The Colonna Hot Chocolate Station from What Next is giving my home such cozy autumn feels. I’m looking for a new bedroom set, if you guys have any suggestions, let me know in the comments!

    What I’m Wearing:

    Exile – Autumn Breeze
    Teefy – Gwen Loose Shirt (Classic), Lexie Tank (White)
    Teefy – Ada Skirt (Chocolate)
    Ingenue – Olivia Heels – Auburn

    My New Kitchen

    I have done nothing but shop, decorate, shop, decorate! I love my new Catia Kitchen set from Consignment. I have used decor from various brands for years to make a vintage kitchen, but I felt the need for change. This new set is modular, and very easy to assemble to fit any kitchen. I don’t like to change my decor often, but this change is definitely much-needed, since it also pushed me to update my living room and other corners of my home.

    My New Kitchen

    A new kitchen set calls for new food!! Isn’t this set of brunch food from Dust Bunny fantastic? It’s a gacha, but it was actually fairly easy to complete the set since it’s a small set.

    My New Kitchen

    Autumn is here! It’s cold outside, so I am loving all the sweaters and beanies in SL. I love this Amitomo dress at Sanarae, it’s a gacha, but I won’t complain since I won the dress after a handful of tries. Exile released perfect autumn hairstyles at Collabor88 this month! I am wearing Full Circle, it comes with a color-changing HUD for the cap.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Exile – Full Circle
    Amitomo – My Story Gacha (Dress)
    Ingenue – Nina Heels (Oxblood)

    Decor:

    Consignment – Catia Kitchen (White)
    Dust Bunny – Brunch Foods gacha
    What Next – Patisserie Kitchen Decor

    I’m ready for autumn, pumpkin spice lattes, and all the cozy clothing that goes along with the season. The Arcade opened yesterday! To my surprise, there are some fabulous autumn decor and clothing available. I am wearing the Fall Essentials and Fall Vibes items from Reign. This gacha offering has such a nice color palette. I picked up the cardigan and dress in several colors, so I can mix-and-match them later.
