A Visit to Jilin Estates

  When I seen the Asian inspired prints included in the HUD for the new Chantal top from PM I fell in love with them immediately and knew I had to feature one of them.  Once the outfit was put together, instead of staying at my home sim to do the blog picture as I normally do, I knew I had to do a picture that was on location.  That's when I discovered Jilin Estates. I love visiting sims based on places China, Japan and other Far East countries (a visit to Japan is actually on my real life "to do" list). There is such an appreciation for nature and they are often the most beautiful and peaceful places to spend a few hours seeing all the little details.   For a photographer - it is an absolute dream.

All that Glitters

 Beauty is in so many things.  It can be found in boutiques all over the world where even the basic of things is worth more than one person can earn in a lifetime.  Some people pursue gold and diamonds, designer clothing, cars, and homes that are set in exclusive neighborhoods - spending millions of dollars on them.  Some of those things will take your breath away with how beautiful they are.   But I have walked in the Canadian winter time, where the very air sparkles.  And I have seen sunsets that paint the sky with vivid colors.   I have seen deer laying peacefully observing the world around them - not afraid at all.   Most of all, I have seen love expressed in the most beautiful of ways by people I love and complete strangers.   There is a saying that all that glitters is not gold.  They're right.  Sometimes it's even better.

Out and About

 Only in the last few years, I have become fascinated with dystopian stories and there is a wealth of such themed sims in Second Life.  One such sim, though one would never expect it, is the Enchanted Path Horse Trails which is where I went to take this picture.   It was nice to get out and about for exploring any of the sims in Second Life is a fun pastime.  So many creative people in Second Life and makes me happy to be a resident here.  Of course, as nice as it is to get out into the wild, it's always nice to get back to civilization - such as the Cosmopolitan Sales Room where one can pick up the latest PM release called Olivia.

May Flowers

 

When I first picked up the latest release from PM (on offer for the May 1-13 round of Cosmopolitan) I knew I liked it.  Excitedly,  I attached the HUD and was scrolling through the various textures for the gown, I seen this beautiful dove grey and pale pink one and fell in love with it immediately.   It reminds me of water colour paintings with just a subtle wash of colour so delicate and soft just like a warm spring breeze or tender new blossoms awakening for the first time.    It's full of promise of the new season and the warmer weather to come.

In the Land of Sparkling Wisteria

I love spring.   After months of snow, ice and cold, the higher temperatures invites us to put aside all our winter layers and the colour palette shifts over into soft pastels such as this beautiful pale purple.   With the fairy lights in the wisteria and the gleam and sparkle of silver accents, this is an outfit woven with enchantment and is perfect for any spring goddess.
