The Valley (Part 2)

I couldn't leave Silver Sea without doing a few more shots (see Part 1 here). Must be the micro-climate there, but a sudden thaw let me break out Deadwool's shirts from Mens Dept and even the morning chill wasn't bad - so much snow melted that my makeshift Christmas tree from Breno fell over (as shown in the last pic). As I started the long hike out, I knew I'd be back in the Spring...

  • Sweater: Xiaj -  Hikaru Sweater Xmas S (185l at Mens Dept until Dec 31, mesh) 
  • Pants: Deadwool - Jeans + belt blue V1  (Not Free, mesh)
  • Shoes: Lenox - Lenox Duck Boots (250l at Mens Dept until Dec 31, mesh, includes 8 colors & female sizing)
  • Glasses: Kumaki Glasses Style - Sousa (Not Free, Mesh, Texture Change)
  • Pose: Poseology - Evans 2 (120L at Mens Dept until Dec 31, includes 6 poses)

Location: Silver Sea

The Shop (Pt. 2)

Continuing Astrid's previous post, some more shots with Never Totally Dead's build from the Mad Pea Hunt, this time with male fashion from Mens Dept and other places (the shape is a gift from the Menstuff Hunt) and another 22769 dress from the Gallery Gift Shop (the round may be ending today) and BSD Design Studio's Post Modernism shoes from Fashion United.

Note the luggage from BSD Design Studio. These are fully scripted with drawers and panels that open, come in a variety of colors including the LV original motif shown below and are available until mid-week at SL Fashion Week.

Little Warehouse Pt.2

Following up my previous post, here are a few more fashion shots and images of the decor I've used in Bauwerk's Little Warehouse skybox for this month's Challenge round.

Some general words on the build: it's Mesh (land impact of 44 prims) and features high ceilings, exposed ventilation ducting and monumental florescent style lighting that is fully and individually controllable via a central panel. Notably the intensity of each fixture can be set so you don't overpower the space with light, as is often the case. The build also makes use of large skylights and full length windows to bring quite a lot of natural light into the box. It works nicely as a lofty home/office space as I've done, but I can also see it being used in a role play setting.

The fashion here is again from this month's Mens Dept, + a new release from Apple May and a special thanks to the creators at (Red)Sand for providing their excellent Hooligan skin, which I'll undoubtedly show again. Oh, and all poses in this and my previous post from Saal Body. Thanks Alon!

Little Warehouse

The Challenge's 4th round this month has a factory/industrial theme, which is a style I frequently come back to in many of the builds I feature on the site.  Here I've taken Bauwerk's litttle warehouse skybox from this round and imagined it as a combined work/home space for an architect or engineer, using many of the items from the Challenge round as well as other pieces that work well in the build.  The decor emphasizes metal as well as wood, which softens the space quite a bit. The pictures below feature two of the stand-outs from this round: an excellent drafting table and assorted decor from Follow Us and Plato Novo's beautiful "Factory" chairs for %Percent.

The avi features a new release skin from (Red)Sand and super nice texture-change hair from Exile, on sale at Mens Dept and available in various tones. The clothing is also from Mens Dept, except for the shirt from American Bazaar that I quite like and previously blogged in a different color here.

As this post was getting long, I'll have more shots and review of the build and furniture in my next post, but in the meantime previews can be seen of all Challenge items on the event website.

Bungalow Pt. 2

Since it's hard to let go of that California style, here are a few more shots in and around L&K Prefab's Blue Bungalow from the April edition of the Challenge (see Pt.1 for more). Sun, surf, wine and outdoor showers seem mighty appealing after an endless Winter and now cold, dreary Spring in my neck of the woods.

A new round of the Challenge has actually just gotten underway - the theme this month is "underwater" and once again there are some interesting items from a wider range of participants that I'll be showing later this month.

All clothing in the post is from two current hunts: Men Only Hunt 3 and the You've Been Tangoed Hunt. For the guys, Men Only Hunt is not to be missed. Missqwerty and the Flair for Events team have brought a great selection of designers to the third edition of MOH and the theme this time is Rock n Roll. Check the website for the finalized store list and hints (not up yet but should be imminent).

Lavender Encore + 2 more

I love Breno's chair from the Lavender hunt so much that it deserved an encore, don't you think? See Part 1 for more pictures from this hunt and gift previews/hints can also be found on the hunt website. 

My models are the same as last time. The female is a very nice combination of a shape from Shape It Up! found at the Free*Style store for just 10l and a gift skin from Deesse's. The male is the same Kirk skin recently released from Essences - it's so nice I haven't wanted to take it off- here combined with Step Inside's shape from the SYSP anniversary hunt.

I'm also showing two outfits from 22769 to round out the post. I don't know how they do it but their designs always look great on the blog. The male shirt can be found at Mens Dept, where the March collection launched earlier this week. The female is on sale at Gallery Gift Shop for just a few more days. Have a nice weekend everyone!

Lavender Dreams

Monochrome Hunts is back with their latest color-themed hunt, the Lavender Hill Hunt, and like usual there is a nice mix of fashion & decor items to be had. I'm somewhat tardy showing the gifts - the hunt officially ends on Mar 10 - but you still have time to get the things you want (note gifts cost 5l). Check the hunt blog for previews of most of the items.

Some of my favorite furniture gifts include [Circa's] coffee table and pouf set. The coffee table comes in two versions and contains a fascinating miniature garden with butterflies. Breno's bunny chair will also make you smile and is perfect for the season. On the fashion side, Epicosity's Mesh suit is a must for men and Immerse has a lovely purple Mesh dress that pairs perfectly with the necklace gift from Sigma Jewels.

Two of the poses used in the post are new releases from Sup Poses, a relatively new pose store with great prices. Add them to your pose store list and check them in world or on MP.

Modularity

My last post on Four Walls concentrated on some of the rustic items, the grungy even. This time I wanted to feature the more modern gifts - those with clean lines and often modular in concept. Pieces such as Scarlet Creative's shelving units (the gift includes numerous versions that you can mix and match) or Breno's reading nook (part of a future modular series), work perfectly in Circa's "Infinity Cloud" Glass Studio from the hunt, which has cubed rooms off a main living space,  skylights with metallic highlights and panoramic glass windows (Mesh, 29 land impact). Four Walls goes to the end of the month and previews can be seen on the hunt website.

I'm wearing Diego, the new Mesh head from CheerNo, which is on sale at TDR Fusion until Feb 1. In a sense, with these mesh add-ons, be they heads, breasts, hands, feet or other appendages, the avi itself becomes modular, a base to which components can be added or subtracted at will depending on needs. CheerNo's head is interesting and can give a very realistic effect, but the lack of facial expressions can be a drawback. Some new releases shown below include Mens Dept items, a great shirt from HuHu (available with texture change hud) and an outfit from Apple May Designs, which is marking the opening of its new mens store with everything 50% off just this weekend (and a gift or two, gachas and some really impressive deals).
