Starlight Skies

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.

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!

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

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.
