small but mine

I love well made low prim stuff! So when I tp’d to Apple Fall yesterday – initially only to buy a giant fireplace which had caught my eye – I did some sky-box-on-sale hopping and fell in love with the New York apartment I’m showing you here. It’s mesh, it’s texture change, it has beautifully baked shadows and it’s only 10 prims!

Of course, a new skybox is a very good reason to buy new furniture and decorations, so…. I discovered a new to me store through an ad for a dress (which I also bought) – Ionic – and went a bit wild there… so many lovely things to discover! we’re ClOSED is another new to me store with fab things to find – well worth a visit!

The lighting in the New York apartment immediately lifts my spirits – for me, it spells spring. I love baked lights and shadows – my SL would be much too laggy if I left shadows on all the time, so baked shadows make everything look nice without the lag, though I would love to have an option with no shadows for picture taking!

I feel this little box will stay up for a while (I change my living arrangements often) and please my eye!

This is my lovely new home from +NODe+! I especially love the little walled veranda and pond – there’s a rain system coming with the house, it’s so peaceful! You should visit the SLOW sim, where all +NODe+ houses are on display, as well as a lot of small shops whose items are featured in this post, like { ililo } and Bitter Vanilla. { ililo } is rebranding as +ILO+, a lot of the older stuff is available at reduced prices and will vanish soon, so go grab it now! As always, I hope I have credited all items, if you find something I have forgotten to mention, leave a comment!

Hard Work

So, sometimes it’s not about looking hot and fashionable…. sometimes it’s about all the hard work that goes into looking hot and fashionable! A girl has to do what she has to do…..
