    Indie Teepee

    Indie Teepee

    I am going to rave about Indie Teepee, even though I’m not a social butterfly. I initially found out about Indie Teepee through one of the designers that I follow on social media. I went to shop, but it was delightful that it is not the focal point of the event. Even though it is just one sim, it feels much bigger, and the shopping area is hidden underwater in a very nice under-the-sea themed area.

    From the Indie Teepee website:

    Just as SL is a home to so many people from all walks of life, Indie Teepee aims to be the roof under which these same people may discover, enjoy and appreciate the diversity and creativity that could only previously be experienced in the real world.

    Let’s meet at the beach

    Let's meet at the beach

    This Kenya II Playsuit from Ricielli is fabulous! Nothing says beachy more than coral, so I added a big splash of coral to my outfit today. I crashed after taking the first picture, and for some reason my hair detached itself, and all the colors reverted to default. This explains why the band on my hat is two different colors, cos I forgot I had originally colored it white. You probably don’t even notice, and I didn’t either until I went to crop the photos.

    Do you ever notice tiny “fails” in SL photos? Sometimes I don’t even fix mistakes like hair going into clothing cos I think imperfections make SL interesting. Back in the day…… we were lucky when our hair didn’t randomly attach to our butts.

    Let's meet at the beach

    What I’m Wearing:

    Truth Hair – Taren / Hat
    Ricielli – Kenya II Playsuit
    Gizza – Nautical Set
    Ingenue – Velma Wedges (Coral)

    Kimono

    Kimono

    The kimono from the Zenith is adorable! Zenith always surprises me with their creativity and ability to create for multiple genres. In addition to casual clothing, sometimes they release these wonderful traditional outfits, including matching accessories. I went to The Epiphany this morning and played just enough times to get the kimono, so I don’t have all the accessories for this outfit, but it’s still amazing! This is my first outfit from Zenith with built-in hands, which I think is neat if I had all the accessories cos they’re meant to go with them. Even if I had the accessories, I’ve noticed that they’re tiny baby hands!

    If you want these items, check the Marketplace, I’ve already seen some items listed on there at pull price. I had an interesting experience this morning at The Epiphany. Since it’s opening day, the lag was especially bad. I played 2 machines that took my money and didn’t deliver anything. Then, I won this Rare Analog Dog hair but it was missing the color HUD. There was a free Analog Dog hair pack at the event, so I bought it and saw that it had all the color HUDs, so I tried the Dark Brown one and it worked on my hair. Yay!

    Kimono

    I’m not a huge fan of gacha, but I like going for the experience. I use to want ALL the pieces, but now I just try to work with what I have, and enjoy mixing it with items in my inventory.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Analog Dog – Joy A (Dark Browns) Rare
    Zenith – Shen le Kimono(Tiffany)
    Zenith – Shen le Headpiece (Lemon)
    Zenith – Rainy Day Umbrella Necklace (Golden)
    Ingenue – Melisande Heels (Seafoam)

    Now is a good time to head over to Hair Fair! This gorgeous Lorelay hairstyle from enVogue is giving me wonder woman vibes. The twin braids are so cute!

    Ricielli – Paula Mini Top
    The Secret Store – Nora Highwaist Skirt

    Hair Fair 2017

    Hair Fair is open! From July 1st-16th, a percentage of every hair that you buy at the event will benefit the Wigs for Kids organization. I look forward to Hair Fair annually, cos I have so many fond memories of shopping here through the years.

    Check out the official Hair Fair blog for a preview of all the hairstyles and direct SLurls. When I went to the preview last night, this post was not up yet, which is actually a good thing cos I got to see all the booths and discover some new-to-me  brands. I recommend going to the sims and buying the demos that you want to try directly, instead of relying on the Hair Fair Demo group cos that can get overwhelming.

    I’m so impressed that hair designers got together and brought their best efforts to this event. In addition to bento hair, I’ve discovered that a handful of brands are now offering Style options, often built into the texture HUD or as a separate HUD.

    Here are 5 hairstyles I love from Hair Fair:

    Wonderland

    Wonderland

    Have you ever heard of Lootbox? Instead of winning rare items individually, you win a rare lootbox with the special items inside it. I wanted the Wonderland set from Astralia, cos for some reason I can’t resist anything Wonderland themed. I love being Alice! I went through my old blog posts and found some Alice looks that I wore years ago, and realized that my style was more fun then.

    Speaking of Wonderland themed items, can you guys send me some links to stuff that I don’t know about? I want clothes, decor, anything!

    Wonderland

    Before you play for this Astralia set, beware that the pose included with the background doesn’t look exactly like my picture (or the vendor ad). The arm holding the bottle does not bend that way, I edited the pose myself so what you get won’t look anything like this.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Truth – Rumor
    Astralia – Wonderland Gacha
    Blueberry – Cocodoll Set (Sky) & Bracelets/Necklace
    Katat0nik – Cards1 Wonderland Pendant

    Remodeled Bathroom

    Remodeled Bathroom

    Avatars don’t need to bathe, but I still liked the idea of having a tub in my home. I don’t need a kitchen or a bedroom, but I have them, so why not a bathroom? I stumbled upon this Victoria Clawfoot Tub from Apple Fall and fell in love. I can’t remember the last time I bought any bathroom decor, so this tub is super special. The vintage design is gorgeous and the water is best water that I have ever seen in any tub in SL. The tub comes in two colors – Enamel and Iron. My room is very white, so I decided to use the Iron colored tub to add contrast.

    Remodeled Bathroom

    Even though I love the tub, the animations included are not great. I tried the single poses, and all of them were bathing animations, not really suitable for still photography. I made my own poses for the photos above; it was super satisfying. I hate furniture with fidgeting animations with a passion.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Truth – Scout
    Blueberry – Mood Swimsuit

    Be My Baby

    Be My Baby

    Let’s go camping! This adorable vintage pin-up style outfit is from The Secret Store. I am also wearing the The Be My Baby hairstyle from Exile. This month’s Collabor88 theme is called Resort, and the mood board indicates that it’s a retro resort style! I can’t get enough of this style in SL, cos it reminds me of the sweet stuff that artilleri made back in the day.

    I’m also wearing these gorgeous Dorothy Heels from Ingenue. It’s available for the Slink ‘Kitten’ feet only. I like shorter heels in SL, but it seems that creators and maybe other residents, favor higher heels. These heels are a must-have for casual clothing, they’re also available in a bunch cheerful of colors.

    Be My Baby

    What I’m Wearing:

    Exile – Be My Baby @ Collabor88
    The Secret Store – Cindy Knotted Shirt (Milk) @ Collabor88
    The Secret Store – Bonnie Capri Pants (Sky) @ Collabor88
    Ingenue – Dorothy Heels (Pearl) @ Vintage Fair

    Remember Me

    Remember Me

    Just when I think Second Life content can’t possibly get any better, it does get better, and that is the most exciting thing about being a consumer. This is the first time that I’ve seen bento animated hair, and I’m already craving more! I’ve seen animated hair from other brands, but I don’t know if they were bento or some other scripted method. Exile just released a few bento hairstyles, add them to your must have list! Watch the videos (Palace & Over the Edge) to see the animations! The hairstyles are even more stunning in-world cos the animations are so smooth.

    Remember Me

    How darling is this Vintage Blouse from ANE? I love the front of this blouse, it’s pleated and very pretty. Then I turned around, and I love the back even more! Vintage with a twist!

    What I’m Wearing:

    Exile – Palace (Bento)
    ANE – Vintage Blouse @ The Vintage Fair
    The Secret Store – Yulia Flare Skirt (Navy)
    Ingenue – Lisbet Heels (Navy) @ Collabor88
