After-Taste Weekend

On a serene Friday evening with not much happening in the real world, I decided to immerse myself in Second Life for some fashion-forward exploration. White often poses a challenge for me in photos, tending to blend a bit too much with my complexion. Yet, the latest outfit from Hilly Haalan was a splendid exception. 

This chic pant suit, tailored to accentuate my curves precisely, delivered a look that was both enticing and elegantly sophisticated. The fabric's graceful flow and the outfit's thoughtful design transformed it from mere attire into a bold fashion statement. I decided to pair it with my favorite piece from Kunglers and this elegant cuff set from Yummy because there is no greater crime than failing to accessorize.

I was all dolled up and had no place to go. Fortunately, a friend recommended a house music venue called After-Taste Spa. The place exudes chic sophistication, and the vibe shifts depending on the time you visit. Its decor brings to mind the stylish venues I've experienced in Miami, adorned with tropical foliage, brass accents, and eclectic pieces. 

The residents tend toward the naughtier side, so be forewarned—it's a space where private chats blend with spicy areas for random encounters. While that's not my usual scene, I found the people-watching absolutely enthralling.

Lavender Fields

Last year, visiting a quaint lavender farm became the highlight of my travels through Quebec. The air was a crisp, refreshing 60 degrees—perfect for savoring fine wine and cheese as we gazed out over the sprawling, vivid fields of lavender. 

The purple blooms stretched endlessly, their gentle scent mingling with the cool breeze, crafting an atmosphere of tranquil beauty. We spent euphoric hours in nature's embrace before wandering into the farm’s charming gift shop. Inside were lavender-infused products, from delicate perfumes to soothing body washes, all crafted on the farm, offering a tactile memory of the day.

 

Quebec has indeed etched a profound impression on my heart, and I yearn to return this fall. Next time, I’ll come prepared to converse in French, embracing the preferred tongue of the locals, hoping to deepen my connection with this enchanting place.

This jumpsuit by Coco is truly stunning and available in a variety of captivating patterns. Complementing its allure, the necklace is a unique masterpiece by Kunglers, drawing numerous compliments from admirers in-world. The hairstyle chosen for this photoshoot by Truth was impeccably wind-blown, adding a touch of whimsy and grace. Although the flower bouquet from Ariskea was a bit on the expensive side, its impeccable match to the setting made it an irresistible choice.

Vespa Ventures

At 16, I was captivated by the dream of zipping through the vibrant streets of South Beach on a Vespa. Everywhere I looked, these charming scooters buzzed by, their riders grinning as they navigated the breezy coastal avenues, a scene so full of life and color. 

I adored their quaint, efficient design and the sheer exhilaration of darting through traffic, the spring air fresh against my face. My grandparents, however, had other ideas and strictly said no. Still, I couldn't resist the occasional secret spin, the thrill of freedom tingling through my veins. 

Now, years later, that desire hasn't faded. I find myself daydreaming of finally owning a Vespa when the tides of the economy turn. For now, though, I content myself with virtual rides in Second Life, where spring is eternal, and my Vespa awaits, always ready to whisk me away on another sunlit adventure.
