One Belle Avenue, Second Life

I did a lot of shopping the past few days and needed to watch my Lindens. So on my Project Themeory shopping crawl, I only bought one thing. Yeah, I know! :-(  

BUT!  It's super cute, so that makes it all good :-).



Skirt: +mocha+  - Maidens Memory
Shoes: Heart & Sole Fallen Hearts
Jewelry: Phoebe - Belly Piercing (old hunt gift)

*Disclaimer* It's only Saturday and I have so much stuff to go thru this weekend, so as sift thru my new items, I will be providing some quickies for you.  Enjoy!

I had a chance to check out the new sim, Glance Style, which celebrates its grand opening tomorrow!  There are over 30 shops on the sim and many of them have gifties! :-)  YAY!  The sim is beautiful! I will totally be back to take pictures - and shop :)

The hair, from MINA and the swimsuit, from SHIKI, are both gifts for the Glance Opening.

I have a confession to make....I am a collector of skyboxes (oh, might as well add houses to that list).  And my collector sense got all excited when Stacie Pryor plurked that she created a skybox.  I absolutely love when she blogs her SLinterior decorating. I seriously would pay her to stage my house when I sell again. Just this week, she set her 'get lost/get found skybox' for sale on XStreetSL.  (and yes, I did a happy dance as I signed into XStreetSL!)  I was even happier when I saw that the price is quite reasonable.

I added some shutters to it (more to block out my mess in the sky).  I'm still decorating it. Artwork is always the last thing for me - even in my RL house; my art is still in the moving boxes. But I wanted to get this posted, since it seems like I haven't blogged in forever.  Hope you enjoy :-)

I was trying to organize my inventory a little better (side note: isn't this a never-ending journey? ), when I came across an old favorite, this strawberry necklace.  What a perfect accessory for the cute dress by BOOM!

Today was one of those days.  I got a lot of shopping in.  Participated in a lot of lag and crashing.  To console myself...I decided to have a Coke and proceeded to spill it on myself!


As you can imagine, I was not too happy!  I just bought these shorts today.  So I grabbed myself a beer this time and changed into another pair of shorts.  I was determined not to ruin these, but I was thirsty and I had a few more beers.

Ugh, I'm not feeling so well.

Today, while the rain kept me inside, I rummaged around my house, sorting my stuff into two piles: the keep and for Mom's Garage sale.  I came across some old Polaroids from when I was younger, when we went camping every summer - when life was so much simpler.  No, I won't be sharing those here - it was during those awkward years in the 80's.  But I will share with you my Second Life version of them (without the awkwardness). And it will give me a chance to share some accessories and furniture that I've picked up recently. :-)

Here's a quick post before I eat dinner....I had taken this picture of Sweeter Than Candy's Group Gift awhile ago and forgot to post :-(   Bad Trin!

This was an interesting little hunt (20 stores) that I came across.  You had to find the shooting star and try to catch it.  You just waited until it came to you.  Love those types of hunts ;-)

The hunt starts here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Killtower/241/52/3604
Info can be found on the so what? blog
Now on to showing you some of my favorites prizes!

Uh-oh....I found Plurk.  I am so going to have fun with this...i hope!  Got to figure it out still, but please add me!  I would love to use this more, but ya gotta have more friends using it for that to happen.

Here's my Plurk:

Lots of Swimsuits to show you from Thalia....all group gifts or Midnight Mania - meaning they are all free. :-)

These first two pictures are from the Midnight Mania prize called 'Summer Love'


I think this is my favorite!

The next three are from the group Bikini gift. Join the group and click away :)





In all these pictures I am wearing Magika's Nicole hair and Belleza Elle skin.

I wish I could remember the poses in these pictures.  I'm using a new HUD and it doesn't show the names of the pose - I've got to correct that...somehow.

I've got lots of storms rolling in today so I'll be trying to get posts in between the badness...so here's round 1!

This is a lucky board find at YunA's.  You have to join the group for this but it's worth it for this hair.  

There's a cool braid that goes along the side as seen in the next picture.

My life (real and Second) has been pretty crazy lately. I had an enjoyable holiday with my parents even though my weekend didn't start out so well.  My little guy got sick.  Doesn't always happen that way? The holiday weekend is upon you, the weather forecast is amazing and then, WHAM-O! Something happens, like getting sick.  Needless to say, a sick son severely cut into my time on Second Life this weekend.  No Project Themeory shopping.  No 60L Weekend shopping.  No scouring for freebies and cool lucky chairs and midnight mania boards.

Then when I try to get some serious shopping in today, I find I have to take care of some real estate business.  (If you're looking for some space on a homestead for either residential or commercial, do I have some land for you! LOL!  Well, I am serious - I'll have a post on that as soon as SL lets me take some pictures! I've been using SL viewer 1.23 for some time now and just recently has it sucked some major prim balls! I think it's time to follow the yellow brick road on over to Emerald.)  When I was finished (take that to read "I've had enough of trying to divide land! Stupid SL!"), I decided to have some old school fun - I played hopscotch with my son.  It's been ages and I had to look up on my phone how to play - but we did!  I think my son and I both needed the laughter that trying to play hopscotch provided.

I'll get to some fashion posts tomorrow - I promise!  There are some fun hunts that started today, lots of group gifts and I am positive there are some new wonderful pieces that I need to buy.  So until then....good night :)
