On the Veranda
Spring is a lovely time to sit on the deck/patio/veranda and enjoy the sunshine. Of course the BEST time to do this in SL is during the Home and Garden Expo, cos by then you would have been shopping and your outside area is looking FAB!
I have some items that will get you running to the Expo for a spring spend-up!
Pretty in Pink at Home and Garden Expo 2013
I am SUPER excited!! I know I get excited a lot but, as you well know, I get very excited about certain things in SL, and one of those things is the annual Home and Garden Expo. It is very close to beginning and I am counting the hours! Roll on May 24th!
Today I have some of the awesome items you will get to see at the Expo. All of these photos are taken inside a stunning cottage from Dorian Meredith. It is called the Hope Cottage and is the perfect beginning to this Relay for Life Event which raises money to bring HOPE to many who have been affected by cancer in some way.
“Bringing together over 100 exhibitors of the very best homes, gardens, landscaping and interior design products in Second Life, plus an additional 30 creators from the ever popular breedables sector in the second annual Breedables Fair, the Home & Garden Expo for Relay For Life 2013 is a fundraising event not to be missed.
The Expo is an annual highlight for those that love seeking out the latest home and garden products and combined with a full entertainment schedule, hunts, raffles and silent auctions plus items designed just for this event – you can be sure of finding stylish new products to give your home a fresh look.”
In the Rain
I do like standing in the rain. It is refreshing. I like the feel of the raindrops on my skin. I am also a big kid cos I will stand in the rain and open my mouth and catch droplets on my tongue.
It felt like a nice day to enjoy the rain in SL too. The best thing about SL rain is that I don’t have to dry off after or get warm!
Today’s items in the rain are brought to you by The 100 Block!

Coffee Required
It was definitely a day for coffee. Been a long one. So, this gave me the inspiration for coffee and fashion today. A great combo.
Today is all about some new items from some fav designers of mine. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
It is also a chance for me to have a wee rant. If you just want to skip ahead and enjoy the fashion, then do so now, but if you like a bit of a read, then carry on!
RANT WARNING» View author and full post…
I was out and about shopping yesterday when I came to a store where some others were gathered. While I waited for things to rez, I happened to glance at the local chat and was appalled to see someone complaining about the item that was put out on sale.
I tped out of there after viewing the item and, while I didn’t purchase the item as it wasn’t for me, the attitude of the ‘customer’ bothered me.
Firstly, this designer takes time to make these items. I have watched designers doing their thing and I know the time and effort that goes into making the things that we buy.
Secondly, the stores do not HAVE to offer us reduced items.
Out For a Stroll
Had a bleurgh day yesterday, so thought I would get out into nature and clear my head. There is nothing nicer than rocking some fab clothes and then getting out and being at one with the environment…well, as long as the environment doesn’t touch me or get on my shoes!
Most of the items I am showing you today are from The 100 Block. The event has started and you MUST get on over and shop til you drop. There are so many great things that I don’t even know where to start!
All items are from The 100 Block unless otherwise stated. The bridge is a free pose prop from Glitterati.

On the Phone
I came on to SL yesterday to two pieces of sad news. Two stores I love are closing. The first one is aDORKable Poses. I have used their poses for a long time and love the quirkiness and yet practicality of them. It was with this in mind that I decided to whip over to their closing sale and grab this pose set for today. All items in store are 50% or more off so it is a great time to grab some fab poses and pose props. Still sad though.
The other store closure I will deal with tomorrow…
Let us go onto happier things. There are new items at Acid Lily and I also have some other bits and pieces you have to see!

The 100 Block
Depraved Nation has a new event beginning called The 100 Block. But, this is not just your usual shopping event. In fact it is a “full sim block party – A creative fusion of fashion, music and art’.
Today I thought I would show you a few items that you will find at The 100 Block when it opens on the 10th.
I am not including LMs for the 2 reasons:
- It is not open yet
- I love to tease you!
