Moods

February 20, 2017

Blogging hasn’t really been my forte as of late. It has to do a bit with technical difficulties. I’m not entirely sure if it has to do with Firestorm, or the SL viewer software in general, or the fact that I still haven’t updated my Mac OS on my Macbook to Sierra.

I know, a Macbook Pro isn’t the most ideal for running Second Life, but I wasn’t having a huge lag problem on other sims when trying to take photos. I could crank my graphics on high to ultra and still manage to get some shots without losing my patience. At some point something changed.

Now, I go to other sims and my frame rates drop until they are so low, my Firestorm gets the beach ball and freezes. Ugh.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Anyway, I’ll keep trying to figure out the issue. Until then, I guess I will try to be more creative at putting together backdrops and scenes for my blog photos on my little piece of land since I retain high frame rates there. But sometimes, you just see an area of a sim that just inspires you so much to create an entire look for an image.

You know what I mean? 🙂

Black Friday Sassy

December 2, 2016

Honestly, this outfit was meant more for the club than a stroll in the country…but, it’s a virtual world. My heels won’t be sinking in the dirt unless my hover height is set way off!

I hit the Black Friday sales last weekend with moderate restraint I guess. I mostly took advantage of the furniture store sales at Aria, The Loft, and gift card sales at Cheeky Pea and Trompe Loeil. For clothing I made sure to stop at ISON, where I purchased the black lace bralette and jeans, and Rowne, where I stumbled upon this sassy cropped blazer. Those two stores are becoming higher and higher on my favorites list!

While I was styling this outfit, I realized I couldn’t really find the perfect pair of shoes in my inventory (imagine that) so my last Black Friday stop was at Reign to grab the Chelsea Heels. Love them!

I also love Black Friday in SL! 🙂

What were some of your Black Friday purchases?

Lovin’ The Luxe Box

November 18, 2016

Every month is like a mini Christmas on the 15th because it’s the day that month’s Luxe Box is released! I think it’s become one of the most fun things in SL for me to be honest. Maybe it’s just the anticipation of its arrival!

The thing is, I am never disappointed in what the 12 designers create for the box. I mean, I can be a total tight ass with my lindens. I think about purchases for awhile before buying anything (sometimes I think too long…haha). But I gladly part with $1500L to rejoin the Luxe Box group every time because I love most of the items I receive.

Sure, there will always be a few things that I might not use, or maybe they aren’t my style. Luxe Box introduces me to things I might not have picked for myself and that’s also part of the fun! Another great thing that adds to the value of this subscription box is that clothing and hair come with a lot of color options. You’re basically getting the fatpack of every piece (excluding furniture and homes).

The dress and hair I’m wearing are a couple of items from the November Luxe Box and were a couple of my favorite things this month. Ison designed the dress, and special guest Little Bones created the hair. My boots by Empire were from last month’s box and have already been worn quite a bit!

If you missed out on a Luxe Box you wanted, you aren’t out of luck! Past boxes can be found in the Luxe Box lounge the month after their release for $3000L. Check out the link in this post to read more on the website!
