Dear Secret Santa !

Last year arround october my blog took a turn into decoration area, at first wasn't so exciting but in december I applied to be part of SL Secret Santa and I got to be Secret Santa for a girl who wanted decor stuff so while I was shopping for her I got to be so excited that I almost forgot my purpose and all I was thinking is how I will decorate my SL home for Christmas. From that point was no turning back, I was hoocked and I love more and more each time I do a home & decor blog post. Yes it can take a lot more time to do it and you have to put more effort but it is also so much fun and exciting.

Dear Secret Santa, I know you have a hard job to find out the perfect gift for a persone you might not know so well or even at all so I tought I could give some tips to help you out:

*Being a blogger I am part of many blogger groups of my favorite stores so I will be listing only the stores I like and I don't own most of their items. 

My favorite colors: peach, mint, navy, cream and black.
My favorite clothing stores: The Secret Store, Vive9, House of Fox, Tee*fy, u.f.o, Maitreya.
My favorite hair stores: Lelutka, Lamb, Truth, LaViere (Hair Colors I wear - Light Blondes & Light Brown )
My favorite shoe stores: Gos Boutique, Ingenue.
My favorite skin stores: Glam Affair, Pink Fuel.
My favorite accesories stores: LaGyo, Maxi Gossamer.

I also love all  Tres Blah decor items from The Arcade and I only have 3-4 of them. But most of all I would love for you to enjoy this "job" and have lots of fun !

  The land impact for this home and decorations is 148 !

Autumn Cottage

Hey guys ! Lately I am crazy about decorating and that kept me quite busy and I kind of let fashion posts on second place. I promise next time I'll do fashion but now I just wanted to show you my new home. Last year I started to do home & decor and I don't know how or what made me but I love this, though my first love was fashion and I often see myself getting my inspiration in real life from my style in second life.

I know it's a little weird but SL it's such a creative place full of amazing people and I just can imagine my life without this place but it has it's bad sides also. I remember being so absorbed about it that I almost forgot to live my own life at some point, it wasn't a good place were I was.

But now I reached the point were I can proudly say that I balance my rl and sl in a sane and good way. Now that I've talked about the bad side there is some really awesome sides of SL, because of it I have come to blog and blogging it's my biggest passion because here I can create with photos and words. I can put myself out there like a in a jurnal and some times I only speak about fashion but from time to time I heal my soul and talk about what gets in my mind. I never tought writting is such a powerful tool and I regret I don't have the talent to express myself like a real writter. Maybe in time ..

Love, Roxi !

Without imagination there is no life, without books there is no imagination ..

Pssst! Did you knew about the limited edition of "Francesca Window Nook" from Cheeky Pea  There will only be 100 sold ( EVER! ) at The 24 and because it is limited edition you might want to hurry up if  you wish to grab one. There are item givers associated with the sits and the seasons in the window change on touch.

Pssst 2 ! The Arcade is starting real soon and I got my hands on a preview for the cutest books in SL made by Sienia Trevellion, the creator behind Lark. I love books because in RL I can read them and in SL they are my favorite decoration items, I just like to trow them arround. Oki my sweets, it's 3 am and I will stop rambling right now.

Love, Roxi !

It feels like home

Happy Saturday ! This morning I woke up with the impresion it is Monday, very strange moment and also a great relief to know it's still weekend. I planned a blog post with home and decor but I just didn't felt any inspiration. I decorated a house, then I changed it and made another and so on till I got to this result.

When I started last year to decorate I discovered how much I enjoyed and spent hours to figure how to mix and match. Of course my skills weren't that good back then, nor today are perfect. But I find that each time I get more closer to improvement and I just love it.

Trompe Loeil released a gorgeous villa for Collabor88' s Second Birthday Celebration with several rooms and a pool outside; I decorated a bedroom and the living room so you won't have a full sight of the inside but you can check on Trompe Loeil's blog to see how the villa looks like inside.

Love, Roxi !
