    Autumn Glow

    Autumn Glow

    Hello from Evergarden Equestrian!

    A couple of days ago, I decided to visit Collabor88 to snag this adorable Maple Dress from Tres Blah. Typically, my event visits are quick—I know what I want, grab it, and leave. So, I teleported home, slipped into my new dress, and then, to my surprise, received an IM from a mysterious stranger.

    Long story short, he had seen me at Collabor88 and invited me to a dance club. Feeling adventurous, I agreed. But once we arrived, I realized I was too casually dressed for the very formal venue.

    This encounter got me thinking… For the men of Second Life, approaching ladies at events is surprisingly clever. It’s the perfect setting to meet stylish, well-dressed women! While I’m not seeking anything serious in Second Life, I occasionally do enjoy accepting a dance with a kind stranger.

    Made a quick video to show off the Alyssa Heels from G Field.

    To complete my outfit, I picked up these stunning Alyssa Heels from G Field. I used to be a huge fan of G Field and even blogged about them frequently. Their store used to be right next to my region! However, with the advent of mesh bodies, my interest shifted elsewhere. Recently, while casually searching for new PBR shoes, I was thrilled to discover this pair of heels priced at just L$200 for a fatpack. Amazing! It’s exciting to see that G Field is back and making PBR shoes again.

    Autumn

    Autumn

    Hello from Winchester Harbor!

    I have a thing for layers, and I’m not just referring to the countless tattoo makeup layers on my face. I’m talking about clothing layers—complex and intricate outfits, which, unfortunately, are somewhat rare in Second Life. Autumn is almost here, and I couldn’t be more excited to layer up and frolic around golden leaves and cozy landscapes.

    Today, I’m wearing this adorable Peony dress by Cheezu, available at Kustom9. Deciding on a color was tough until I discovered that Cheezu offers the entire fatpack for just L$449! What a steal. This thoughtful pricing means they consistently get those slightly higher sales, rather than just L$300 for a single color. It’s a win-win—less decision-making for me and more value for them. More brands should adopt this smart pricing strategy.

    To complete my layered look, I’ve paired the dress with an Off-shoulder cardigan from Tetra. Though this cardigan is an older release and hasn’t been updated to LaraX, it’s roomy enough to perfectly complement the LaraX dress I’m wearing. I’m thrilled I can still enjoy this piece.

    Layers bring such joy and variety to fashion. Here’s to more cozy, layered adventures this autumn!

    Pour Up Winery & Vineyard

    Pour Up Winery & Vineyard

    Hello from the Pour Up Winery & Vineyard! This Ricielli Yana outfit is absolutely adorable. Some elements of the floral print do remind me of a 90’s sofa, but it’s a nostalgic touch I don’t mind at all. The outfit’s shape is very flattering, and despite being a crop top, it still covers all the essential parts perfectly. It’s the ideal casual ensemble for a day of exploring a winery, offering both comfort and style. I absolutely love this region—it’s so posh and meticulously designed, every corner photogenic.

    Buddha Garden

    Buddha Garden

    Hello from the serene Buddha Garden! I discovered this gem through the Destination Guide, an excellent resource for finding picturesque spots and experimenting with EEP settings.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how tranquil and well-designed this homestead region is. They’ve kept things simple due to prim limitations, but this simplicity enhances its charm. As a long-time admirer of Second Life water, being surrounded by it here is a dream come true.

    The default EEP settings in this region were quite dark, so I created a new one specifically for my photos. Interestingly, I didn’t plan on making an EEP or shooting a short video, but I was inspired to capture the stunning new Second Life skies in a PBR viewer.

    Adjusting to PBR has been a challenge, but I’m coping better by fully embracing the PBR viewer. By doing so, I avoid making constant comparisons with the old viewer’s water. Surprisingly, I’m starting to miss the beautiful pre-PBR water a little less each day.

    Sometimes, diving in headfirst is the best approach to adapt to a drastic change.

    My photos are straight from Second Life with very minimal edits—just a bit of blurring and cropping.

    Drug Town, RSCM38

    Drug Town, RSCM38

    I recently visited RSCM38, a unique region in Second Life known for its moody atmosphere of crime and poppy fields. I found myself mesmerized by the poppy field and even spotted some mysterious figures lurking in the hills. The area is beautifully crafted, featuring vibrant, colorful streets and plenty of places to grab a bite. You can wander around this place for days, and it makes a fantastic setting for photo shoots.

    The vibe here really reminds me of Cuba, from the colorful buildings and vintage cars to the scenic beaches. It’s a spectacular spot that’s definitely worth a visit!

    Happy Sunday! There’s something incredibly charming about smaller spaces— they radiate coziness, and it’s quite simple to create a full, inviting room with just a few pieces. With the help of my friend, Fay Starlight, we’ve assembled three delightful rooms using furniture and decor from the latest Anthology releases.

    Cozy Spaces
    Bazar – Kay Bedroom

    The bedroom we designed showcases the Kay bedroom set by Bazar, which offers a complete suite for crafting a comfortable space. It includes a bed with an array of textures at your fingertips, as well as a classic fireplace that brings a slice of warmth and realism to the setting.

    Cozy Spaces

    Moving over to the living room, we selected items from Blue Sky, another gem found at Anthology. The Alpaca armchairs and ottoman by Blue Sky add a touch of whimsy with their delightful fuzzy texture. The centerpiece here is the splendid Blue Sky Cusco Console, complemented by an elegant Gold Leaf Abstract artwork, versatile enough to harmonize with decor accessories from various home and garden creators.

    Wings

    Wings hair from the 11.11 sale!

    In China, November 11 is celebrated as Singles’ Day, originally a celebration for single people that has transformed into a major online retail event. Chinese consumers take advantage of discounts and promotions, making it the world’s largest shopping festival. Singles’ Day has expanded globally, showcasing the power of e-commerce.

    For the past few years, Second Life brands have promoted 11/11 as a shopping event offering discounts to residents. It’s an opportunity for brands to capture the consumer spending market before the glut of Black Friday sales. This year, some of my favorite brands are participating in 11/11, so I took advantage of the discount to stock up on items I didn’t already own.

    I was at Toksik to see if there was anything I wanted that I didn’t already own, but unfortunately, I already owned everything I wanted. Then my friend Sasy said, “You need to go to Wings… beautiful hair!” so I went and bought some hairstyles that I didn’t already own. I picked up six new hairstyles from Wings, with prices ranging from L$150-L$160 per hair color pack.

    Pepe Skins – Mocha

    Left: Pepe Skins – Mocha skin | Right: with tattoo layers

    Whenever I see a Second Life skin advertisement, I always think, “But does it really look like that?” I stumbled upon Pepe Skins recently and after trying on a dozen or so faces, I selected one that I thought looked very sweet and definitely something I could wear.

    I’m wearing the Mocha skin from Pepe Skins here, along with the body skin. The skin is created for LeLutka EvoX, and includes Brows or No brows available in just one color. This skin brand doesn’t offer much with the skin, unlike other brands where you can get at least a few brow colors and some makeup. I found the neck shading too heavy/reddish tone and overall the body skin is just grainy but I chose to wear it here cos I couldn’t make it work with my usual body skin and neck fade layers. But overall, the faces on Pepe Skins are all very pretty. They also participate in weekend sales so you can get a cheap skin to try out!
