This Couch.

I love this couch. Like totally would marry it and have little couch-ling babies with it. I really wanted to do an amazing picture to go along with this post. Unfortunately, Firestorm has decided it hates me and it took me an hour and a half to get Autumn and the couch to rez just to take this picture. I really don't think the couch needs anything else to be beautiful, though. You can get this couch on Monday, when The Home Show opens, from Mudhoney! Squee!

P.S. - It also comes in like a billion other magnificent colors, good luck picking just one!

Credits....Autumn and I look cute. If you need to know what we're wearing, you can IM either of us inworld. Or leave us a comment here...or hit us up on Plurk...or Facebook....we'll let you know.

Bazar at The Home Show!

This wasn't intended to be a post about just one vendor at The Home Show, but once I started rezzing pieces from The Toronto Bedroom from Bazar...I couldn't stop myself! I am such a bed hoarder in SL. It's a serious problem, only rivaled by my addiction to buying houses that I'll never use. This bed caught my eye, right away! It looks like the kind of bed I could hang out in for hours on end and read, snuggle, watch TV...anything! The additional pieces of the set are each adorable, on their own. But, by far, my favorite piece is the Toronto Closet. The clothes rack in the back left...perfection! And it's only 9 LI! You're totally going to have to check this out when The Home Show opens on July 1st!

It's just a couple of hours away! The Home and Garden Expo is about to begin! I wanted to get one last, quick preview in before it kicks off, officially! A store that I was very sad to see close it's doors is making a cameo appearance this year at HGE! Second Spaces was always one of my favorite furniture and decor go to stores. (I do still get an occasional treat from SS on Fifty Linden Friday's!) This is one stop you are not going to want to miss...just look at this stuff! I can't wait to put it in my new house, this weekend!

You know The Arcade Gatcha starts in just SEVEN short days, right? I've been keeping my eye on flickr and Plurk to see what goodies I am going to need to get my hands on. The most exciting, by far, are these awesometastic squirt guns from MishMish! When Aime dropped them on me yesterday, I swear I squealed, chair danced and hyperventilated all at once! They are so fantastic!! There are 12 to collect, all in fabulous colors....and three of them are rare, a shark, a dolphin and an orca! The orca is, by far, my favorite! They come with a hud to turn the water on and off...perfect for a surprise shot! This is going to be a great summer!


***Edit*** I almost forgot! See that sexy van behind us? You can get that from 22769 at The Home and Garden Expo, starting today!! It's filled with single poses and couples snuggles...Autumn even serenaded us with some Bongo's last night....fabulous!

The Home and Garden Expo - Just A Peek!

I have a general addiction to shopping in SL, however, when it comes to houses and decor...addiction is an understatement. Autumn's favorite story to tell anyone is how, one weekened, I purchased, decorated and deleted four houses. Four. So, I guess you can start to imagine how excited I am for The Home and Garden Expo. You can read about all the excitement, here. And check out more amazing pics, here!  These are just a few, small pieces of what I have seen so far. There will be lots more to come, I promise! Squeeee!!

Busting Out Of My Bubble!

I finally did it! You may or may not know, I started a challenge back in January. It's called The Bust Out Of Your Bubble Challenge...and it's taken me forever to get my junk together and get it done!

Like a lot of people, I chose to have myself matched up with someone, randomly. I got super lucky and was matched with Roxi Bluewood from Cosmopolitan! I was way excited because she is adorable and our styles are rather similar! We talked back and forth a few times a week, trying to get our schedules together...and finally this week we worked it out! Roxi is adorable so it made taking our pics easy! And we had both been selected as Pose Fair 2013 bloggers, so we had TONS of poses to choose from! We used Infinity's Entwine pose above and Atooly's Pose 45 for the super fun pic below!

Have YOU busted out of your bubble yet? If not...find someone and ask! It's easy and fun!! Check out some of the other BOYB challenge pics on the flickr page, here!

Tokyo Girl At Skin Fair!

Tokyo girl, Tokyo girl
Shaking up hearts around the world
You can't forget that stunning face
Smiling at you it's your destiny

(Totally can't stop singing that song, now!)

To say that I am adverse to change is a pretty huge understatement. It's very hard for me to change the staples of my av's look aside from a new release from the same creators I'm already comfortable with. This is why I love events like Skin Fair because it gives me an opportunity to check out things I normally wouldn't. Tokyo girl is not a skin line I was familiar with before today. I snagged some demo's and tossed them on for fun and totally fell in love! This face is totally adorable...and we all know how I am about some adorable! And I love the Asian feel, as well...something I totally didn't expect! Moral of the story kids....you never know what you may discover if you reach out just a bit further than normal. ♥

What I'm wearing:

Skin: Tokyo.Girl - Skin Amelia - Natural
Hair: ::Exile:: Catwalk - Marone
Undies: Kyoot - Soft Words Lingerie 
Eyes: Insufferable Dastard - Glare Mesh Eyes - Gray (From The Men's Department)
