Want Something Special ?

Do you ever feel like everyone has the same thing at times. So many of us shop at 'sale days' we can feel we all own the same stuff and nothing is unique. Now don't get me wrong I love the ' sale day events', Moody Monday is my favourite. Just at times I wish I owned something that was just mine.
Let me share with you what I will be going to tomorrow. It is an event called B.UNIQUE. This is a little different to many other events that are happening. Only a small amount of these items are  going to be sold. They will be out at full price, unique is worth paying for. Tomorrow on the 1st September  everything is put out, then on the 22nd September everything is taken down, never to be sold again. Only a few of these will ever be owned in SL, so either they sell out before the 22nd or are taken down on that date. 
Below I am going to share the vendor pictures, I can not show you the items, these are not given out to bloggers and will not be out to buy until tomorrow. Maybe I will see you over at B. UNIQUE.

My Dark Side

I love to change my skins often and wear many different tones. That is  one of the fun things in SL for me. Adam n Eve have just released a new skin called Jamila.  It comes in 4 tones, I am showing you 2 so you get an idea of what is on offer. There is a shade lighter and one in between as well. The shading and detail is  just stunning, as expected from Sachi. She has been brave to make such dark tones, not many stores offer them. Sachi is a true artist.

Any Dream Will Do

It feels like forever from my last blog post, at one point I wondered if I would ever blog again. I have been trying to learn the viewer 2 set-up. Yes I know I am late to the party but I just hate change so much. Anyway I decided I needed to get out and explore while I tried to work the thing out. 
As soon as I arrived on this sim I remembered a gown I had from Kouse Sanctum called Gabrielle. It comes in 8 unbelievably stunning colours, each with golden gilt trimming. How could I not want to blog when I am wearing something this beautiful. TP over and see what colour you are going to get.

Have A Skin Full

The Platinum Hunt has started and I hope you  are having fun doing it. I love to get skins in a hunt. I like to be able to live in a skin for a while and see if it really suits. Below are a few in this hunt. Even if the skin tone or make-up isn't your thing it is still worth grabbing so you can see if this brand suits.

G Fields - Empire Dress

Bling Me

For me hunts are all about finding new places and being reminded of great stores. That is why you need to do the Platinum Hunt that starts tomorrow.

This gift from Baffle in the Platinum hunt id just brilliant. It has poses built in and you can also change the pictures to more personal ones of you wish. The light gives a nice feel  which makes this a fun thing to either have in a garden or in your home. Do you see the mouse ? cute detail like that makes this gift a win. Even if you do not have land still get this. I remember not keeping gifts before I have my own space, I regret that now.
TP over to Baffle and have a look around the full store while you wait on the hunt starting http://slurl.com/secondlife/van/174/197/35#

This dress is the BOMB.It is from Sn@tch, a store around in SL for such a long time and a good one to remember to visit often. Ivey brings out new things faster than most.  Primrose Path comes in blue, pink and yellow, stockings come with it as well. Adorable outfit to wear over and over.

Again TP over and take a good look around the store, it has so much you will fall in love

I Need To Live Here

This is how I feel at some part of most days. Plurk is going nuts with the riots in England. Different people have different thoughts depending on background and upbringing. All I wanted to do is crawl into this room and hide. What sends you round the bend ? Go get this poseprop and share your pictures with me. It is part of the Platinum Hunt so make sure you grab it. Starts on the 12th August so not long to wait.
 You have to visit Adorkable, its a cool store with brilliant poses and props on a sim that is really nice to walk around.

The cute clothes are from DCNY, never go wrong with that store. Skin is ISPACHI, a great skin store and not to common that you will look like a twin with most others on the grid. Oh and you need this hair from  LeLutka called Rykiel Hair

RUNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to run over today and get these cardigans from L`Abel. 55L for both, but it is only for today. There are other colours set for full price in the store. When I am just running around SL shopping or dressing a house to blog (as I was today), this is what I wear often. 
The other top and pants are both from L`Abel as well and  worth getting - along with everything else in the store.

Stepford Wife ?

 I have been out playing again and found another sim I have never been to. It is called Stepford and so pretty to walk around. I had to find a place that was fitting to wear the goodies from Hatpins. We never wear enough hats in SL. Though when folk do it can be hard to get hair that fits with it. Reghan has sorted that problem out and made hair with these hats. I have the blond  and it offers 5 shades.  

Louisa is colourful with the big flower  surrounded with so much detail it must have taken forever to make.
Florence has a coloured ribbon trim with  a sweet bow detail to the side. 
In the last picture here I have earrings on. They just help add to the overall vintage feel. Left is the Deco Earrings - yellow tourmaline, the right is Atom Pink Glass Earrings
To often I see people saying things are vintage and it isn't really. If you want the real look you could do well to visit Hatpins.

Release The Dragon

I have no idea what Game of Thrones is but it doesn't stop me from loving this outfit from Adam n Eve that was inspired by it. With nothing in mind I started to TP around looking for some place I had never been and have some fun. 

I raided villages and town, stole a ship and let nothing or no one stand in my way

The texture  made me want to touch it. Everything comes in layers it so it is easy to  mix things up abit. Maybe with some layers of bloody  cuts from battle. I wore the make-up layer called Dragon Queen. Let me show you all the colours.

These have been made to go with the Dragonskin but they would look great  when playing a fairy, going to a ball or being a princess. 
I had fun this morning and it all came from putting on a beautifully made outfit from Adam n Eve.

It's A Dutch Thing

Before I blog a house or skybox I like to live in it for awhile and get the feel of it. After all I can not really tell you how lovely something is and how well it works for day to day living in SL unless I try it for myself.

I have been living in the  Pied-à-terre The Hague from Dutchie for a few weeks and I love it. I have tried to blog this before but with lag in SL and a busy RL it just wasn't possible.  

 

The skybox is in an early 1900s style and the detail  must have been carefully researched because Froukje Hoorenbeek has got everything spot on. If you get the skybox you really should get the furniture that goes with it. As you can see it is just so perfect. 

I do not have an SL partner but I know many that do, that is why the animations are important. Everything here has something to suit us all. I was able to sit peacefully and work on my own and later the place worked when I have a group of friends around. Couple poses are also included for the more romantic moments. Even if it is for period roleplay, again the poses suit.

The chairs and sofas all come in a range of colours so easy to use in more than one room and just change the colour to suit. The doors open onto balcony's, even the view has been provided if you want (I did). Something I have no shown and I wish I had was the rays of sunshine that can be set. Blame the lag monster.All lights work and the candles light up just to add that extra special feel.
I really can not tell you enough how beautiful this place is and how much I have loved spending time in it. Go take a look for yourself .

I Think I Need Some Help

Some days I feel like 'Beulah' is dieing. Let me explain.
I love SL and the people I have met. I love the store I work at and the designer who owns it.

But.......
When I first started working  we had a family thing going on, we hung out and laughed so much. As each of us explored SL more we moved in different directions. Even though we are all still in contact in some way we are not as close and I doubt ever will be. Some now live as 'tinies', another is a runway model/trainer, one is a photographer and another has a texture store as well as role playing. Everyone moved on but me.
Don't get me wrong, I never want to leave the place I work in SL, just maybe have something else running along side it.
I started to blog and again I enjoy it but never became part of the blogging community, no idea why, just never happened. Blogging is expensive so not something I can go overboard in.

This is the part I ask for help - stick with me on this until I explain.
I can not create or design, I do not have that talent and refuse to try and shove out anything sub-standard.
My PC is not strong enough to so any photographic work so that isn't an option.
My practical head kicks in when I visited role play sims and struggled to even play along for a short time.
I am jealous of the folk who have the family thing going on with adopted kids and all that but again, it just never seemed to work for me. To DJ or anything like that is a big NO.
So what do I try, what do I do ?
Do I hang in with what I have and hope the stale feeling goes. Have you any ideas I could try to move my SL on  and find new things. DO I just let SL die and enjoy the time I had.
Right now I have no clue, what do you think ?
