After the lil summer we had last week, we're back to the grey and rainy days, well there must be a reason for the "april showers" expression I guess

The good thing is that the creatons in SL are all designing with spring/summer in their minds. Lovely colours and stuff to use outdoors either in the garden, terrace or a gorgeous Patio like this one by Serenity Style for Shiny Shabby, perfect match for Concept's set called Sevilla for Bloom.

For Illuminate's april round the designers had again created gorgeous exclusive items, so do not miss the opportunity to visit the event and get some beautiful Home&Garden items.

The Pocket Gacha continues to grow with fantastic gacha sets and without the hassle of overcrowded sims, lag etc, Featuring here Serenity Style and Mesh India.

 I hope you like it! ♥

Sunny weekend that feels like summer, was soooo good! Coctails outdoors in the city and bbq in the back garden at home. What a difference can that make in our mood...

I'm a beach girl and during this warm sunny week could only think of spending time outdoors and go back to the beach in SL too. Vega and me, admire each others work, and had spoken about doing a collaboration sometime, and finally here it is! YAY! and what better than this gorgeous Beach picnic set by Merak for The Pocket Gacha this april's round!

Inspired in Helmut Newton's picture Two Pairs of Legs in Black Stockings, Paris, 1979

Helmut Newton's , also called the "King of Kink", black and white pictures , always provocative, styled, gorgeous and erotically charged were a mainstay in VOGUE.

I find his works very inspiring and have had in mind replicating a version of this one a very long time. Of course we are our worse critics and there are many mistakes, first and biggest the angle, but even if I tried couldn't get it, loosing my connection constantly doesn't help either. I'm very lucky having patient friends happy to step in for a pic ♥

These Dead Dollz stockings available now in Fameshed are simply perfect, do not miss them!! as are the sandals with a flower in two tones by Fame Femme for Shoetopia. It's a pity the angle doesn't help, neither the B&W but I can tell you Mossu's lingerie for Uber is gorgeous!
