Enjoying a cup of tea and some music in my SL home

Combining pleasure with... more pleasure Decided to learn more of SL portrait photography and capture some outfits!

Final holiday pic of the year Happy Holidays to all!

aw thank you Well, overall my avi is steering towards dark urban fantasy, but I felt so cozy today, so I wore something more casual 😅

IKR! I just feel so good that I didn't lose my previous outfits and I can still use older stuff on the new body here and there. When I was a Freya wearer... things didn't go quite as happily lol. Oh well, I'm so glad now! Waiting for updates and new clothes now.

Trying this Outfit of the Day thing.

The new update is just wonderful - and free! I think that speaks very, very highly to the creator. I'm happy to keep wearing both versions! LaraX has such beautiful shoulders, I'm excited about that. Still trying to work out my updated shape, but I love how natural and elegant it looks. Also so happy that the jewelry and the shoes fit 😄

New avatar for October

Thank you so much! It was definitely a challenge, but it was fun and I learnt some more about editing! Those fishnets are so good, I love them!!

I really liked my outfit today, so I took a picture and practiced some b&w photography, too.

To the topic above, Maitreya can absolutely be made curvy, but not extremely so I made my avi rather busty as I wanted, and I think with the new body I'll have a properly shaped butt and hips as well. And it works well with a shorter height!

Interesting! It's definitely a step in the right direction for LL when it comes to introducing people to SL appearance and shopping world. It's so easy to get overwhelmed by it, especially when you just join and suddenly there is so many beautiful avatars and shops, but you can't wear or buy anything without first investing a hefty sum in a proper mesh body and head. I hope they do have a plan to have some brands create clothes, skins and accessories for this body. Because eventually a newcomer would switch to the more popular body anyway, but this is a stepping stone. I think it might also reintroduce the creative freedom SL is so famous for with easier access to dev kits. So I hope, anyway

Oh i feel you 😅 I rented out a place good enough to fit in my private home and to have space for my creative endeavors and decor blogging. But I used to have two parcels as well and it was not very convenient to be honest hehe. I'm still on the lookout for even better place for both my directions.

If still relevant, I'd like to recommend DDD Dysfunctional for shrubs. They are affordable, pretty and come with plenty of seasonal textures. Great for borders, standalones, fillers. Also LOVE SUPERSTORE has a ton of shrubs, bushes and the like!

Yes indeed! I think the lack of activity is because the land forums feel so constricted to Linden Homes, for real. And the home threads there seem to be used to promote sales and such. But I think it could be fun to discuss the matter, just like we discuss appearances. I've been feeling a lack of spaces like that in general.
