Home Series: Reading Nook

Y’s House products now have a little large section in my inventory. When they announced their group gift, I couldn’t wait to own the little house. There is a large version available in case you’re not a fan of the smaller spaces. For me, its ideal for bringing to life a cozy reading nook. I think this is perfect for any imagination.

I wanted the exterior to be loaded with pots and plants. I love homes with a careful spirit and for some reason potted plants have this feel for me.

As for the interior, I wanted to keep the floor space open and used furniture that was simple. The focal points are the books and papers around the room. My fav is using a small potted plant on the “homemade” ledge. This ledge I created using two prims. Using the shelf in the back for books and two pillows was a perfect touch to cover up the bar in the original build.

One of the bloggers I like to stalk follow is Thema Felix. She also showcased this little house on her blog. Thema created a whole other look for the space. What will you do with the house?

Totally 80s

Usually I change my look or outfit often. I think now that I’ve aged to a ripe old age of three and half I tend to change less. Since I received this jewelry set, I’ve been looking for something to use with it. Don’t read that wrong as it’s a set that won’t work with everyone – it is. I’m just trying to blog it in a way that will set it apart from others.  So enough of my yammering, here’s the beautiful jewelry using my totally eighties outfit.

Couple Pose: !BANG

There are so many cute pose creators on the grid. There is a new pose store called !BANG. With only a few pose sets and almost just as many couple poses the store has outgrown its space. With a couples pose on the ground at the store, you’ll be just as delighted as I was to see the imaginative poses. I’ve used some of the single poses in one or two of my last poses.

Check out !BANG inworld for yourself, if you haven’t already. Super cute things and I’m hoping for more to come … if they can find the space! Maybe that’s why they have the couple pose on the ground?!

Oh also I’m planning new, and very short, home post coming up. Its to showcase the quaint little place we used for the background.

BootCamp: Photography Preparation

Express thought the the bootcamp category needed a little love so he convinced me to work with him on a huge post about taking pictures.

Most of photography is about the preparation and post-processing. This guide will focus on the part of the preparation half that is common to just about all pictures.

Advanced Menu

Ctl-Alt-D (or Cmd-Alt-D for Apple folk).

Torley can explain this better than me, so feel free to watch this video.

If you’re on the older 1.23 viewers, take a look at this video.

This menu gives access to unsupported viewer features. None of these settings are necessary nor do they affect picture quality, but I tend to use them just to make life easier

• Disable Camera Constraints – check to cam freely. You can perv on your neighbors three sims over now.
• Quiet Snapshots to Disk – check to turn off the camera’s click-whirr. Makes your perving less noticable.
• Hi-res Snapshots – check to make your snapshots to disk 4x their regular size. We’ll talk about this more later.

Remember, this menu isn’t supported so be careful.

Basic Graphics Settings

Changing your graphics settings under preferences is generally a no-brainer.

Which of the following four sounds best:

• Low
• Medium
• High
• Ultra

If you didn’t say “Ultra”, try again. read more

A little cheer

I don’t typically shop the entire lists of any of the special price day marketing thingies. This week, like the others, I shopped with my blogging partner, Scarlet. We only picked a few of the designers, she more than me.

Tiny Bird and Reek have FLF items this week in addition to new releases. Using Scarlet to help show off the new items is perfect. Usually I wear the all white attire but not this time. I have so many wonderful colors in my inventory that I just never wear.

Glitterati: 100L Sale & Gift Cards

Little Miss Katey Coppola has become a pose powerhouse. She owns Glitterati (in case you didn’t know. How’s that rock treatin’ ya?)  The store is hosting its annual 100L pose until July 15th.

The sale includes pretty much everything but the new stuff and collaboration stuff. The single pose sets are on sale but I’m a couple pose junky. In case you’re not on my flickr and didn’t see the couple pose spam of late, here it is:

GLITTERATI – Keeper

GLITTERATI – I missed you

Also there are several group pose sets. I have a few of them before the sale. The sale allowed me to pick up mostly all of them. Two of my sweetest friends indulged me in a photo:

GLITTERATI – Bond 2
(L-R: Bells Semyorka, me, and Felicity Blumenthal)

Its recommended to use all you Glitterati gift cards now (and I know you have tons cuz Katey sends them out all the time). All gift cards will be no longer valid after July 15th. After this date, cards would make really awesome art for your home cuz they won’t work or be manually redeemed. If you’re stockpiling the cards, unload them! Its time for you to start sharing them with your friends (I’m in search in case I’m not on your friends list).

Men’s Fashion: Ranger Theas

All this time Luna has been searching for her own style that she’s ignored me. I finally went shopping without me being her shadow. I believe most of this outfit is new and created by recently discovered designers for me.

Just a few posts prior Luna showed off the female version of the necklace. This is the inspiration for this post. I picked it up with her several weeks ago but never really found the right outfit. Oh who am I kidding. I needed to shop and the necklace was the excuse. So sue me. meh.

Sneak Peek: Phoenix Rising Lingerie

Phoenix Rising is expanding their reach into the fashion world with the soon to be launched lingerie line. Yes, soon to be … as in tomorrow! You don’t have to wait oh so long for these gems to be in your hands.

Be prepared for a few more photos. I know, I don’t usually do a photo heavy post. There are just so many lingerie sets I could barely choose a fav let alone one for a post. I choose 3 to show off today.

For the post I chose the ones that are more fuller coverage. This type of lingerie seems to be the trend in SL. And thankfully! The lingerie is stunning and the same level of quality of the Phoenix Rising clothing. We all know I’m not a stranger to this brand as I’ve showed them off in prior posts and even appear in an in-store ad board.

I’m sure just like you all, I was just as excited and curious about the lingerie. If you’re on plurk, you would have seem some of the teasers. Finally with the previews in my hands, I can tell you – this is ranking up there with the other greats of lingerie.
