One Belle Avenue, Second Life

It's been a long while since I have actually done a fashion post. I've been buying so many things and they just sit in my inventory, untouched. Well, I was doing some inventory cleaning yesterday and while trying on things to see if it stayed or went to the trash bin, I got inspired again! And as you can tell, I'm only on the A's. I've got a long road ahead of me!

With each skin that Apple May Designs puts out, I am liking them more and more! Ever since I changed my shape, all my skins are new again - all looking SO different and some of my favorites no longer work. But the AMD skins look so cute and I love the lips. *kisses myself* LOL!

I've been a busy bee the past few weeks and I've got stuffs for you to prove it!  :)

First up is my item for this weekend's La Venta Eventa: The Lombard Skybox.



Funny story about the inspiration of this skybox. It's based off my first place on my own. This place had LOADS of windows and was in a historic building. I was in heaven. On my second night there, there was this smell coming through the windows. I was like "who the hell is cooking bacon at this time of night?" The next day, I met my neighbor and he asked me how I liked the place so far and I brought up the bacon smell. And then he was kind of enough to let me know where the smell was coming from - the funeral home/crematorium next door. AHHH!!! Good thing it closed down a month later.

Anyway, the skybox is 100 prims with a 20 x 20 footprint. It has a large living area, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a deck to enjoy your pretty windlights.

I also have something for Moody Mondays - Lombard Blanket Racks. There are four different styles; each 5 prims. Buy one or buy them all in the fatpack.





I also have some non-event releases (I know! Surprising!)

The Villa Park Door Screen. I am a huge fan of repurposing the old and making it new again. This time I made old doors into a screen. I wish I had the space to have this in my RL house!



Countryside Ladder. There are 10 versions of this ladder (yeah, I couldn't decide which color I liked the best). Each is 33 prims (the ladder itself is just 3 prims), including the accessories. But it's soft-linked so you can decorate it however you like.



Last is the Hillside Ladder Shelf. Again, the repurposing the old (this case the ladder) into something new and different (garden plant decor). It's 34 prims, but again, it's soft-linked so you can decorate the ladder shelf however you'd like.

I've got two releases this week. Some cute decor items for a beach house or cottage.

First up is Winnie's Bird Cage, named after my RL kitty. He loves to chill in the window and watch the birds eat at my bird feeders.



It's 16 prims and comes with the shown accessories (birds, nest and branch). The cage door is not just for show - it works. So be careful or those birdies might get out ;-)

I also have Shuttered Away. I made the wall art for my Americano Cottage but it will go with just about any cottage/beach house.



Two styles are included (one's slightly darker than the other and the starfish are different). And the reason I did the two styles is that I couldn't decide which to sell, so you get them both. They are 11 prims each.

These are both for La Venta Eventa and each are 50L this weekend (more than likely until Monday night)! I was going to put these out yesterday night but I had Comcast drama! I canceled my phone service with them and not two minutes later, I lost my internet. Took 24 hours, many phone calls and a new modem to finally fix stuff. I do apologize for that.

Below are just a couple of pictures of the island, including some of the properties available. All our residents have been here for a long time! Come check them out and see why our residents stay!

I so meant to send this post out this weekend because this item was on sale for La Venta Eventa, but I so messed up my blog queue!  I set this post to publish next weekend.  Yikes!  :/

So because of my error (I blame it on too much sun), I am extending the 100L sale price of my new house until the end of Tuesday, July 12.  After that, it goes back to regular price.

On to some details now...The cottage is 120 prims with an 18 by 15 footprint. It has two floors, with the 2nd floor as the Attic Bedroom.

It also comes with an attached screened porch with a deck. Perfect for chilling and watching the all the activity on the water or just watching the sky around you.

*side note* The chairs are not included, but you can purchase them or many other colors at my store.

I know I haven't been blogging much lately. I have basically thrown myself into my store and my summer. But I have had the itch to blog some fashion though I didn't know what to do. Then Harlow Heslop's Inspire Challenge came along.

And I got to thinking and thinking. I've always loved to buy just about anything in SL: clothing, skins, hairs, home and garden items. I would take pictures of all my purchases in different ways but I never shared. I also loved to decorate (and still do) new homes and stuff but never took pictures of  them. Then browsing the feeds one day long ago, I came across this picture:



If you don't know who this is, it's Stacie Pryor. For some reason, I really connected with this photo. So I clicked through to her blog and started scrolling through her archives. I loved the way she showed off her clothing along with showing off her interior design skills. I really enjoy her posts.

After reading her blog, I decided to give the blogging thing a try. I had a feeling I could do this, so I practiced and practiced taking pictures. I was hoping I had some of those pics but they must have been deleted in my New Year's crazy computer clean up. So I took some pictures for today:





Stacie doesn't know that her blog inspired me. And to be honest, I am a bit embarrassed about letting her know now.  So thanks for inspiring me, Stacie!  <3

This Monday, I have something to celebrate the American Independence Day. It's called the Americano Window Box. The window box is one prim and the accessories are 11 prims. It's editable so you can decorate the window box past the 4th of July.

It's part of Moody Mondays so it's only 55L, but I'll be keeping it at 55L for a few extra days!

Get it now at Fucifino.
