That cat is trying to use mind control to get at the macarons under glass. Good luck, buddy.

Living Green

Emeraldmist NightfireLeave a comment

This post was inspired by something in real life. My favorite breakfast spot has a living wall near the entrance. I came across a living wall for sale in SL and knew I had to do something with it. I created this tableau using just a few of the green things in my inventory. I collect green things! The bunny is there because I have a thing for bunnies :).

  • Broken Mesh Wall — Gummi’s Flower Shop. I purchased this as a second hand Gacha on Marketplace
  • Ivy — Urban Spirit — Mesh Ivy. 50L on Marketplace.
  • Living Wall — Mithral — Living Wall Display, light
  • Chair — Park Place — Midtown Egg Chair. Green is one of 6 color options on the HUD

Love the Beach, Hate the Sand

I really need to work on my inventory, but here I am sweeping sand off my deck again. I love living on the beach but the sand is a pain in my castle!

  • Skin — Pink Fuel — Anja II, apricot
  • Hair — Wasabi — Edie
  • Dress — !gO! — Rachel Apron Dress. This was a gacha prize, 75L

Starry Skybox

Excessories isn’t all about the clothes and hair! I also collect decorative items. While doing the MadPea fishing tournament today (as if I didn’t have enough to do), I came across a Gacha at Lagom that called to me. It said, “Put money in me and I’ll give you a rare….” And it did! Out popped this incredible skybox. I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for some furniture by Chilly Pigeon that I bought at the Boardwalk event.

  • Skybox — Lagom — Bevamped Skybox RARE 50L per play
  • Furniture Set — Chilly Pigeon — Stars Set. This is a mix and match set, not everything shown here. It’s absolutely gorgeous!
  • Rug — BoWillow — Bohemian Rug, stars. I got this in a hunt a couple years ago.

Nap Boat

I’m staring into space thinking about napping. Napping while rocking in a boat is the best. When I saw this Nap Boat by Brocante on the Fifty Linden Friday sale, I knew it was meant for me. There are single and cuddle poses. There is also a pool boat version for those who want to just float.

Hippy, Hippy, Hooray!

I finally took the plunge and got a Homestead. This will allow me to make my own backdrops, set land forms, textures, weather and more! I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and today was the day!

Today’s post was inspired by the latest creation from my friend, Sylvi, of b[ELLE]. This top and bellbottoms set has a color change HUD for each section. The pants have the most GORGEOUS embroidery down one leg. You can see some in the photo, but I admit I didn’t quite do it justice with my classic cross-legged hippy pose.

  • Body — Maitreya
  • Skin– The Skinnery — Harper, sorbet
  • Hair — Elikatira — Juniper (Exclusives HUD)
  • Top/Bellbottoms — b[ELLE]. Side tie sweater and Bellbottom jeans. On SALE for 99L this coming weekend!!
