Collabor88 January 2013!

Posted on January 8, 2013 by Chance

That 8th sneaked up on me this new year, but it has proven to be a tremendously impressive Collabor88 thus far! Kicking off 2013, the blogger team of Collabor88 were honored with creating this months palette for the designers. With rich emeralds, golds and hues of copper and soft woods, it definitely has a crisp new feel to it which is just perfect for a new beginning.

I was very pleased to see a lovely skybox by PILOT this round which I am leaving on my sim for good. The simplicity of it is just perfect and the beamed ceiling adds something completely fresh yet classic to the structure. The tones are warm, inviting and offer a great canvas to brighten it up or keep it tranquil. Hardwood floors and bay windows add to the crisp clean feel, making this a structure with endless possibilities.

Cheeky Pea creative genius Isla Gaelach never ceases to impress me with her furnishings and decor. The Ansel set for Collabor88 is inline with this lovely fresh, crisp feel for the new year. With an emphasis on lighting, subtle to charming, the tonal qualities of the furnishings and decor truly bring to mind an Earthen feel, which for me equals cozy and safe. The exceptionally detailed atrium is rather mesmerizing and brings life to this room in a rather magical way. Rustic tables to place old well worn and loved books, candles and the like speak of a home that is lived in rather than a museum to just admire. The seating come in two types; PG & ADULT, and each packed with tons of smooth lush animations. Original mesh at its absolute best, a staple in Cheeky Pea creations.

My favorite item from this round of Collabor88 is the Intrigue Co.’s Oz mobile. The rainbow makes me think of my Gabriella, and the whimsical quality simply gave me a reason to grin. I will be relocating the mobile to a very special room that is being decorated this month for a very special collaboration between Gabriella and myself. More on that in the weeks to come!

Have a wonderful week and be sure to set aside some time to shop this months Collabor88.

Hello October!

Posted on October 1, 2012 by Chance

It is the1st day of October! Yet with 105 degree weather in California, you would think it was mid-Summer, the weather has been absolutely a scorcher. It’s a good thing I can have my Autumn weather in SecondLife or I might go crazy. With a new month brings a new round of events and as usual there are some amazing finds!

The Men’s Dept. will open on October 5th for this new collection. The tattoo I am wearing can be purchased during the event, it is by Vestigium, high detailed and very life like.

I paired it up with my purchases from faMESHed which opened its doors to the public today and it is full of mesh greatness yet again. I picked up these great jeans from Sleepy Eddy, with great deep pockets and slight lift to the cuff, I won’t be taking these off any time soon.

My hair is another great item from faMESHed from Alice Project called Aiden. I have been hoping for mesh hair from Alice Project for awhile now. Every time I go to faMESHed I see the great styles and pout because there are none for us guys, well no more pouting, that’s all changed! A great start to October, hope yours proves the same.

Seasons Gatcha!

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Chance

The Seasons Hunt was by far my utmost favorite hunt in Second Life. I remember discovering it when I was a new resident and how much it opened up my eyes to amazing shops that I still frequent today. The main one is Fir & Mna, a find I will cherish always for it’s definitely my style. When the Seasons Hunt came to an end, I know I was really bummed! So when the little birdies came out of their hiding places in the snow covered trees and whispered of something amazing to come, my ears perked and my shopaholic heart pitter-pattered.

The Seasons Gatcha Event: WINTER

Each season, we will be given a gatcha event! I love gatchas, they are like gambling for shoppers and I so love to gamble. You never know what you gonna get, and that is part of the fun! I really love when a rare item makes my eyes go all dreamy and my palms itch to own it. I hit the gatcha vendor over and over until I get it, and a few times I get really lucky and get them on first go.

I dragged Mrs. Raynier around the beautifully decorated gatcha area located on the My Pants sim and we had a blast. We spent obscene money but every penny was well worth it. I put together some of my great finds and lounged around on my new bed from the event, waiting for Mrs. Raynier to get home. I’m hoping she’ll want to see whats beneath the hat! *wink wink*

You can find out more and see photos of the gatcha items at SeraphimSL who as always do an amazing job of covering our great events in Second Life. Head on over, you’ll be glad you did!
