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).

Bungalow

The Challenge is a monthly event organized by Bauwerk and L&K Prefabs where participating builders have to create an object to fit a randomly generated theme. The second round theme this month is California Bungalow - maybe not the most exotic, but there are some nice items from the participants that should appeal to many (previews can be seen on the website).

The event also challenges bloggers to highlight a different theme every month and it was fun decorating L&K's entry, the Blue Bungalow, in an attempt to reflect the California Bungalow spirit. I'll show more decor items with this build in a later post (as well as the two excellent avis), but note that some of the furniture blogged below is from the Cookie Jar Spring Festival Hunt, which ends in a few days.

The fashion features some great casual items from American Bazaar (including one hunt gift), new release jeans from KlubWerK, more from Mens Dept and BSD Design Studio's cute shoes/bag combination from Kawaii Fair

Bang A Drum

It's almost spring and love is in the air, or maybe not cause it doesn't feel like spring where I am. But with this endless winter drawing to a close it's time to make some noise - and that's what I'm doing thanks to Balaclava's cool drums that you can pick up at the Arcade (75l per play). For those who don't want to try their hand at the Arcade (or are afraid of blowing all their lindens), yard sales are a good alternative. Two well-organized gacha sales I know about can be found here or here.

The Energy Club has been making noise for three years now and to celebrate they have a mess of group gifts out. That's where I got this excellent mesh outfit from D-Style (matching gift for women) as well as the couch from End of Daze (2nd pic), which I previously blogged but now you can get it free. Go check out the club and grab some gifts while you are there.

Also making noise is LaVie. The skin here is a recent group gift (unfortunately no longer available), but I'm told LaVie has a number of projects in the works including new skin releases, group gifts and perhaps a hunt or two. They have recently reopened in a revamped urban style shopping area with a number of top shops. Good to see they are back and bustling again.

Another photo featuring some of the excellent gifts from the Nest's Easter Egg hunt (see Pt. 1 here). I may overdose on cuteness soon, but these items are really hard to resist - especially Cheaky Pea's over-sized Mr. Whiskers tea set (includes cups in a range of colors) and the decorative wall plates from Cleo Design (there is an additional set not shown).

I have a few more photos in the works with more decor and this great shape from Entropy (on sale at Mens Dept), but for now, in the words of the immortal BB, That's All Folks...

Eggies

The Nest's annual Easter Egg hunt started today and there are some wonderful gifts to be had from select stores on SL's leading home & decor shopping sim. The eggs are hidden throughout the sim, on rooftops and in attics, or scattered in the fields, but they are easily found and there are many of them - most of the participants have put out multiple gifts.

My favorite has to be the incredibly cute "Eggie" set of mesh figurines from What Next, which range from the dapper Mister Egg to a Geek in goggle glasses or moody Little Miss Monday, who perfectly expresses the Monday-morning blues (there are actually 6 figures to be found - I'll be going back for my missing egg).

I'll have more on the avi I'm using here in a later post (and more decor as well), but a few eggs seemed a good way to kick off a Saturday morning.

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.

Baffled Pt.2

Here are a few more pics with the build I used in my last post from Baffle (see Pt. 1 here). The store is now closed, but I hope some of you got to check it out and found some nice things at the closing sale.

I've used quite a lot of decor items in this post, some from the Antique Grid Show Hunt (see my previous post for more) - an easy hunt to do with some very nice gifts. I also want to thank Plato Novo of %Percent for lending me her newish enamel cabinets (the set has been released over the last few months). These would undoubtedly look great in lots of builds, both retro and modern.

Baffled

Baffle is a great shop that is unfortunately closing in world and until November 11 everything is on sale for 55l. You can find an eclectic mix of pose props, decor and other items there, but the builds are truly special (see my Secret Garden post for another Baffle build I recently blogged).

Each design is totally unique and range from a domed floating home in the middle of the ocean, to a winter igloo complete with Polar bear or a creepy cottage with graveyard and hidden slaughter chamber. After rezzing them on the demo platform, I couldn't resist buying them all.

I've done some fashion shots below using Baffle's Le Petit Reve skybox from the sale, which is a fun approximation of a slightly grungy Paris apartment with some great texturing. See my next post for more shots of the build.

Also the November Mens Dept round has started with some cool items (including great Mesh pants from Credo and gO this round). Don't forget to check it out.

Edit Nov 15: Baffle is now closed so I have pulled the links.
