#82 The Arcade June 2013

I know it's said every round. So often in fact, it runs the risk of losing all meaning. But seriously... this round. IS. AMAZING. With over a hundred participating creators, the June round of Arcade is shaping up to being the biggest and best one yet. Which is fitting, 'cause June's the best month ever (hayyyy). 

For those of you who are salivating at the thought, here's a cheeky teaser for just a sampling of what's available. And for all the rest, you can check out the Arcade Shopping Guide here. I particularly enjoy the guide for the landing points for each of the vendors, given the amount of participants, this is a god send.

 So enjoy this round everybody. And happy trading!

Décor #4: My Own Home! Pt. 4

Now for the final corner. Ironically, this was the first corner of my home that I began work on. This is abit bittersweet for me, as this skybox no longer stands. It has been my home since my return to SL and it also holds alot of dear memories for me.

It's what brought my closest friend Dailyn Holfe to me, after she answered a group chat call for rug testers. It wasn't long before she moved in and we became virtual hermits, venturing out only to shop and shoot (photos and zombies). It really became a place to welcome friends and loved ones.

So in closing this chapter and bidding adieu to my beloved first skybox, I present a lady's boudoir.

Décor #1: My Own Home!

Now, I don't just shop for clothes in SL - furniture and decor have a very special place in my heart. So when I'm not splurging my lindens on clothes, I'm usually house hunting or looking for knick knacks to add to the home I share with my dear friend Dailyn Holfe.

Thus, I present a short mini-series of posts based around the spaces in our home (just so this doesn't turn into a monster post). We live in one of my favourite prefabs of all time, the wonderful Port Eynon Skybox by Trace Osterham's THEOSOPHY. Whilst I love open plan builds, I did modify the skybox a tiny bit just to define the spaces a bit more (more of which you'll see in the posts to come).

So first up, the formal lounge. Enjoy!
