Apple Fall´s release of "Looking East Collection" has inspired us all, but talking about what sort of post to put together, a challenge idea came up. Yes loving all those house improvement TV programs, Extreme makeover or House rules, we challenged ourselves to work on a before and after project!

Yes this post has 3 pics :D

Stay tuned for the "after" post!

Me :

Like many others I have my land and I spend 90% mytime there, or on the platform. Such hermit :P
I don't have a "home" as I need many prims available for the scenes for my blogposts, but what I do, when I put together a deco I really like, is to keep it for as long as I can!

I landscaped my land in a way I could have some green area, but also beach, I miss it so much in RL, at least here I can have it any time. So all this works as a base I slightly modify to adapt it to the pic when needed.

I've used for my land's landscape base the following sets :

Tonight's tune:

Me:

When mesh heads came out LOGO's Alex was the only one I really liked, felt a bit diffferent and somehow myself, when they released their Bento I was over the moon of course. Even If I feel very attached to my Genesis Lab MOLLY, I love going back and use my Alex head ♥

So I was working on a scene to feature Dead Dollz's gorgeous dress for Collavor88 this month, and Serenity Style's  beautiful built for The Liaison Collaborative. Zooming around, trying different angles I caught the gaze and thought, I should do that one too, and here it is!

Somehow I felt like I was part of a movie scene, and looking into the camera hahaha, so tried to work on the B&W version of it.


Me:
Pose used Amitie  SOON 

So when I logged in SL I had in mind doing a portrait, to show you the new Vault Ears by Little Fox, and this curly pony tail by Stealthic, but you know how it goes, one idea leads to another and you end up doing something completely different.

Then I thought on taking a picture half sumerged in the water, and trying different poses... changed again, wearing this gorgeous tail, I hope you like it!

Me:

From 31ºC and sunny yesterday, to 15ºC stormy and rainy today, I will need my duvet back tonight!
Feels like the end of summer... BUT the temperature is meant to rise again after tomorrow, so I'm enjoying the greyness and rain as a break from these crazy hot days.

Every month I look forward to Scarlet Creative's release for Collabor88, so when she doesn't take part, doesn´t feel the same, and here she is back with this gorgeous summer house with patio in both versions, sky and ground.

This summer has been a real treat, I know I always say the same, but it's true! so many gorgeous creations!

New month, new sponsors, new responsibilities and experiences... and still summer in London! It's hard to believe hahaha, but just makes me miss the sea and the beach so much more...

Pocket Events has just launched a new shopping experience, using the same philosophy as Pocket Gacha, they present us the Pocket Shop. We all love events and gachas (yes I know some are tired or don't really like playing gacha), to be honest I've gotten to know so many creators/shops this way, but Mainstore releases are important too.

With the Pocket Shop HUD you can do your shopping from home, when chilling at your favourite place, while partying or you can choose to tp to the mainstore
