These Vines Are Creeping Into My Dreams

A new round of Lost & Found opened on January 22nd and will be open until the 1st of February. Featured at this event are a ton of goodies, but the new DaD Design bed caught my eye. This bed is available in three different coloured woods. I'm showing the pickled wood in my picture. As well, this bed comes with a HUD (put it on and click the bed) which gives you tons and tons of different colour options. I liked that you could change the sheets, pillows, blanket, and duvet all separately. It really allows you a lot of different options. 

What I really like about some of these pieces is that they look stunning with a darker windlight. The bed, the star, and shelf all have lights wrapped around them. They look adorable when they're lit up. Atooly has released the star at Wayward Winter and the Charlie Shelf is at Lost & Found.

The chair tucked in the corner is a new release from Brocante (Consignment (Wavie Haller/ValiantCo) & floorplan. (Tegan Serin). It's the matching chair to the sofa currently being sold at Uber. Also from the same brand are the hanging lights I've used. I love the detail in them and especially the little knot half way up the cord. I also used a throw rug from the same store. Tons of great things coming from Brocante, so make sure you take a look at their flickr or join the inworld group.

The Nursery

 

 I have never done a nursery before so what a challenge this project turned out to be. Sadly, I didn't have many children's items so I had to gear the scene towards a more mature nursery. With help from a few friends I found some toys and more childish elements. I'm really excited with how this room turned out and I think it's just really adorable in this build from Apple Fall. 

I was eager to use GOOSE's new pieces available at Tres Chic. They're a family themed package and super cute. The basket & love frame as just two of the pieces available. As well, the crib from Fiasco inspired the whole nursery attempt. All the details are below.

This Half

When I started off trying to take a portrait I wanted to do something unique. Portraits are def not my strength so I tend to avoid them. However, when I saw the new eyes for Suicidal Unborn I knew I had to give it a go. What I love about these eyes is the colour choices you get. It comes with a HUD so that you're able to change each eye colour individually. I really like that.

I've really grown quite fond of Catwa's Annie mesh head. It's my go-to mesh head these days. I especially like it with this Glam Affair skin. Catwa has released a new mesh head called, Gwen which is available at the main store. She has three female heads and one male head available. You're sure to find something that'll fit you.

"Reading a good book is like taking a journey."

I have recently started rereading the last book in the Harry Potter series. It's made me remember just how magical reading a really well written book can be. I came across a picture (unfortunately can't find it for the life of me) that showed a boy reading with books flying around him. It inspired me to create this picture.

Most of the props in this photo are from KEKE, and I think they make a magical setting. The candle cages are from Sway's featured at Jan. Tres Chic.

The shoes I'm wearing (better picture below) are from Essenz and available at the main-store. For all the Essenz VIPs you can get Granada in pink for free. I really love this shoe and it comes in a range of single colour and fatpacks. Head over to Essenz's main-store for a demo.

Rustic Moment

The theme of January's Tres Chic is Rustic Romance and the things that are coming out of it are just beautiful! I am wearing a few goodies from the event and a few other new things from the grid. The hat/hair combo is from Vanity hair. It's available at Tres Chic with another version that only has one pigtail. The shirt & jeans are from Dead Dollz and come in a few different options. The earrings are from Ilaya and also features at Tres Chic.

I've decided to try new eyes and I'm really eager to share them with you. They're from Suicidal Unborn and come in a wide range of colours. What I really like is that the hud allows you to change the eye colour so easily. I have always like having mix-matched eyes and SU's eye hud makes that super easy.

The shoes I'm wearing are from Ezzenz and available at the newest round of Shinny Shabby. I love these shoes. I'm always looking for a nice pair of boots and I feel like these can go with just about anything. They are available in 12 single colours and with fatpacks too. They're for Slink or Maitreya high feet.

Also wanted to mention the location of this picture. My friend Kaelyn Alecto has reopened her "It All Starts With a Smile" sim and it's truly amazing. There are so many places to hang out with friends or take photographs. The sim will be opening soon so make sure you head over for a look.

Forgot My Pants

It's a running joke among my SL & Flickr friends to tease me about my frequent lack of pants. I've been known to ditch pants a lot. This outfit was no different and caused a few comments from my mates. It was all in good fun. I've seen some other bloggers wear this sweater with jeans or tights and both look fantastic. I'm wearing my BlackRose sweater with the lazy socks from Fri.day. These socks are a must have as they look cute with just about anything. They come in 12 different colours. A new release from Fri.day is the Vega booties which are available at Kustom9.

The sweater I'm wearing comes with the scarf and I haven't been able to take it off for a few days. It's a really adorable outfit. I'm also wearing another Tres Chic release from Boon hair. This hair is gorgeous, and I'm really loving the details.

Cabin in the Woods

I'm not sure about you, but I'm not ready to give up winter. I really love the winter season (especially in SL). I love that you can live in a season all year long if you wanted to. This build is the first by Hive and so impressive. I love its size, textures, and overall design. It has a loft style upper level and lots of room on the main level. It'll be available at Wayward Winter when it opens on the 18th of this month.

When I have more time I'm planning to decorate the inside of the cottage. I'll be sure to share those photos. A lot of the outside accessories are things I've gathered from gachas over the winter. SO many designers have released really adorable animals. I love the birds from Half Deer and the huskies from Xin. A lot of what I've used in this scene is actually from What Next's gacha at Dec. The Arcade.

A special shout out to my friend Sheri who lent her advice and some pixel props.
