Mr. X and Dreams of Africa - Nya@ Events@1st

One night as Mr. X and I watched the sun set, I asked him if he thought zebras were white with black stripes or black with white stripes.  Mr. X told me it is an age old question with an answer that delves into genetics and selective pigmentation that creates their striking coat.  Speaking of striking, a great new shopping event -- has just "struck" the grid --Events@1st.  Here you will find deals on exclusive items before they hit the grid.

Mr. X and I went on a "shopping safari" there and found this new dress by Nya called Beach Dress.  I love the casual flow of this dress with its overlapping top and spaghetti style straps. It comes in a yellow pattern as shown and in a "scuba" pattern that is a melage of blues and aqua.

This cute dress comes in a variety of opulent patterns, I loved the almond pattern that reminds me of Ikats that are highly collectible textiles found in Southeast Asia.

Beach Dress also comes in three lovely pastel colors that are just delightful for a long summer night.  The colors include custard, light pink and coral. The solids have an artful stitched embellishment that adds a touch of elegance, Mr. X likes that!

Mr. X and Kioto -- new exclusive @ Penumbra

The nights are growing longer here as the light is fading earlier and earlier in the Nordic highlands. The skies are continually grey and delicate lacey mist drapes the tops of snow covered mountain peaks.  Tonight Mr. X has promised to take me to see the Northern Lights.... and I have the perfect thing to wear.

The Kioto Coat by Nya is an exclusive at Penumbra Fall/Winter  Fashion Week through September 22 and it is perfect for a late autumn walk in search of the brilliant natural fireworks display of the northern lights.  I love the heavy satin coat with the faces of Geisha's on it in tones of lavender, moss green and white.

The green sweater with an extravagant fur collar replete with fur cuffs is ideal for a walk on a brisk night when the damp air chills you to the bone.... and only Mr. X's arm around me really warms me up!

The back of this sweater has appliqued lavender flowers, a reminder of warmer days... and nights.  The abstract floral pattern can also be found on the arms of the sweater completing the look.

The Kioto Coat comes with complimentary green leather boots -- with convenient back pulls and a zipper -- great details and great looking boots that totally pull this look together.

Now, I wait for Mr. X  --- and dream of the Northern Lights....

Outdoor Living by Aphrodite at Heart Homes + Nya and Morphine Skin

If you don't have a lot of prims and are looking for a romantic retreat that is chic and interesting with  a multitude of poses for couples and singles, interactive activities and texture changes the new Summer Flowers Greenhouse in Whitewood or Oak by Aphrodite Shop is for you.

I love the white weathered beachwood  and the flagstone floor that has 12 different textures.  After rezzing it you can move the furniture and plants around the greenhouse or incorporate them into your home.  The details elevates the entire space to pure fun. The flowers are even interactive and you can rake, water, mediate and tend to them.... they are beyond fun!

Summer Flowers Greenhouse is spacious and has furniture that celebrates al fresco living in style. Couch and chair animations offer couples poses -- slow dancing, reading together, feeding each other strawberries, playing video games (I won!!), a movie night, blissful sleep and more. Cool solo poses are also offered.

Each piece of furniture has custom animations.  The coffee table for example is especially fun because it offers board games, cards, wine and cheese and even a kiss... hello Mr. X this wine is getting warm.......the glasses, books, cards, etc. attach to you making wearing them fun and easy plus they don't clutter up your inventory. Cheers!

The Summer Flower Greenhouse is also available in Oakwood with all the same features and looks glorious in a garden setting.  This is one greenhouse that is a must have for year-round fun.

I am wearing a cute and casual outfit by Nya called Alice from Penumbra Fashion Week.  The green linen crop pants and bold floral blouse is perfect for summer and a good read at the beach.

The Skin is a new release by Morphine called Victoria... it is fresh and sexy with beautifully defined lips, perfectly shaped eyebrows and eye make up that comes in natural or smokey... that allows you to customize your look.  The skin comes in 5 skin tones with eyes, a shape and all the appliers.  Slink hand and feet appliers are also available separately.

Last night, over a cup of green tea, in our greenhouse,  I told Mr. X that for me to achieve the art of things, is to choose well rather than often...and he agreed... this greenhouse is a must have.
