The Arcade September 2014

How convenient, just as we decide to redo our bedroom, The Arcade comes along with plenty of offerings to help make the choices on what we want just that little bit more difficult. I think this room has been decorated, cleared and re-decorated at least 3 times before we finally found a combination and style that we both agreed on. It was tough, their were arguments, but this is the final outcome.

The toughest choice we faced was between the Ispachi and Apple Fall beds.

For once I kinda one the argument, and we went with the more masculine looking bed from Apple Fall, lending itself to a much more neutral looking room, oppose to the more feminine style we have always had in the past.

Story Time

Its nice to sometimes kick back relax, chill with a friend and read a good book, and so with everyone busy thats what I decided to do.

Meet my newest BFF Butcher. He is to adorable not to love. What story are we reading? 3 Little Pigs of course!

I've Been rocking this outfit for a while now, mostly because I love it. These jeans are always my go to when I have trouble finding something to fit a mesh top and they 9/10 times suit my needs, and the Purf shoes match them perfectly, a lil costly at 495L$ but for what you get and the level of customisation it really is easy to justify the cost. I wear this Jean/shoe combo ALOT. Both texture change and so perfect to match as apart of most outfits. The cardigan/tshirt combo by from Scars is the first time I had picked up anything by them, but I will definitely be going back in the future to see what else they have to offer, other than a little bit of clipping (most likely to my unwillingness to wear a bigger size or edit my shape) I have had no issues with this, and will most likely continue to do so for a while, and it will definitely stay in rotation in my 'Go to' Outfits

As I mentioned before, I am definitely not the decorating in my family, that title falls on my wife, and you can see why I leave her to it. She does such a brilliant job of creating spaces that make me wish I could live in them all the time. We have recently just moved, and so the house is still being set up, but she has already put this space together, and I spend alot of my time here. It just feels so right. Open, beautiful, spacious yet cozy.  Normally I list everything I photograph, but my wife has such an eye for detail this picture is just filled to the brim with things and Id be here all day so Im going to just list 4/5 of my favourite parts.

Kalopsia at the Arcade

The Arcade opens its doors once again tomorrow, and I suspect, like myself many of you are waiting to try brave the madness and get in and get all the things you have been drooling over for the last few weeks on plurk. 

I was fortunate enough this year to get a chance to see some of the items I was really looking forward to early, and honestly, Kalopsia's offering was just as amazing as I expected it to be. 

Its no lie amongst the people that really know me, but I am not much of a decorator on Secondlife, saying that it really is hard not to love this set and how versatile it is. Its a nice balance of cute and stylish, I can personally see it being used in a variety of ways, from Sun Rooms, to kids bedrooms. as a set, or even as individual pieces. As a gacha addict, and someone who loves to surround them self with beauty on SL this machine is in my eyes definitely a must play

Also....PANDA COOKIE JAR!!!!
