SL Destinations: Forest in Spring

Hello All
It is near Spring, and daydreams are looking forward to change of scenery, change of clothes, change of how and where we
spend our leisure. I know most will agree, After the long Winter months we are ready for said change.

Most may be thinking ahead to Summer and a nice hot beach somewhere, Or perhaps like me… a happy medium, cool but not
COLD.
…Maybe a place where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
The comfortable mist and fresh smells ..of Earth, of Trees…of Grass.
Until the last of the snow melts or the freezing rain ceases, We can immerse ourselves in Second Life and get a sample of
whats to come while waiting for Mother Nature to gracefully move on to the next season in RL.

There are many Forest and Parks in Second Life, Choosing just one to blog about was a challenge,
So We will just list some of  the photogenic places for you to check out.
Since Nature inspired this post, We Transformed our avatars into Dryad Tree Spirits and set the pics to words.
We hope you Enjoy ♥

 

Affinity in Abundance, Mind & Soul may Radiate…
In the strength of Plural, unions we can create.

 

Together, Spiritual growth gives insight to inner Evolution
A foundation of deep roots, nourished by virtue & altruism.

 

Let Uplifting praise always fall like heavy rain…
Speak love into life, life into love, & never pain.

Kindred Hearts, Filled with hope & promise…
Sharing a journey brings such sweet calmness.

 

To care, and be cared for, makes you feel richer than a King.
Basking in its warmth like the sun in the purest of spring.

Starline Groove

Hello Loves,

Todays look was based on a Jacket I found at La Penderie de Nicole.

It was a new store to me, so the shopaholic in me was curious and checked it out.

OH!, they have some very nice clothing items in Mesh, from feather corsets to cute lil houndstooth jackets like the one I am wearing.

Also, I picked up a braided style a while ago from EMO-tions called Starline. and decided to get some wear out of it as well.

Another store worth checking out is Cashmere & Keane.

They have great poses and a discount room with nice bags marked down as seen here in my pic.

Thanks for looking & Happy Shopping!

IAOS Group Week13 “Classic Evening Wear”

Hello Cuties ❤

I’m back with another inventory assault! lol, I took full advantage of Freebies, Hunts and 50% sale items for this post. 🙂

The IAOS Group challenge for week#13 is Evening Wear.
I stayed along the lines of traditional evening, with long gloves and floor length hemlines

I found this delish dress in my own sisters store!, How dare she not tell me about this, So I bought it- so there! ;-).

I chose to adorn this gown with butterfly embellishments and dramatic makeup to give the dark palette a splash of color.

My good friend Jeter wanted to know more about my blogging, So I invited him to come along and experience what I do.
We sat at dinner going over the importance of windlights, when to use facelights, & location, location, location!
It makes blogging so much more fun when you chose a really nice sim to snap pics on VS just posing in a box.

Soon after we left Midsomer’s Meadows for after dinner drinks in La Citta’Perduta (aka Lost Town). I showed him how important it is to have all items rezzed no mater how far back in the background., He was quiet by the end of the photo session, I’m not sure if I scared him off from blogging, All I remember him saying “Whew, thats alot to remember!” LOL
Thanks Jeter Seriman for hanging! ❤

Around The World Blogger Challenge: “K”- Kenya

Karibu Mambo! Habari gani?
(Welcome- Hello!, How are all of you?)

We have ventured into East Africa, And have landed in the facinating country known as

The Republic of Kenya.
There are 69 dialects spoken in this country, & Swahili is the national Kenyan language,
Although English is commonly spoken thruout.

Kenya is famous for its safaris and wildlife reserves that attract tourists from all over the world.
This very reason, is what inspired my look today.
A Zebra print, bold and mesmerizing like the animal itself.

Today I visited the market to buy some delicacies,
The outdoor vendors were scenting the area with delicious smells,
and my belly was getting hungrier the longer I stayed there!

E-Zzz there!

I even stopped to entertain myself by snake charming!

Urrrrrp! ‘scuse me :-), I done caught the sleepy’itis

Ahh, Now that I ate a bowl of Githeri,
I’m ready to sleep!

Githeri is a Kenyan traditional meal of corn & beans stewed with greens, meat & potatoes.

Pics snapped @ “The Nile“
