Winter is Coming...Already?

It has been snowing like the dickens in RL and I've been dressing up Eden in warming clothes even though it is always warm on my platform where I hide most of the time. I am a big fan of Coco and I grab just about any coat or suit that she makes as they are always perfect.  She recently released the Chester Coat and a new Sweater with Shirt underneath and I had to have at least one color of each. The sweater has the added feature of a version that fits under coats and not having to fight mesh clash makes me very happy.  I guess I can justify buying more purely on that basis.

So much of the "stuff" I am wearing with the outfit is currently available at various events.  Wasabi Pills has the adorable Karin hair at FaMESHed for November.  I love the short bangs; besides being fresh, they always make me think of a gamine like Audrey Hepburn or Winona Rider.  The gorgeous shoes I am wearing are from Nardcotix, which has recently reopened and making stunning shoes. The Delilah Stilettos are currently available at The Liaison Collaborative.  There are versions for Slink high feet and Belleza and The Mesh Project bodies. Regretfully the shot came out so "white" with the lighting I used that you can't really make out the stockings I am wearing from Cannibelle. The designer, sweet Annabelle Couturier, has made some finely textured Micronet Tights for Cirque de Seraphim in both dark and light pastel tones.  Let me say this: I am a fussy shopper, I have a ton of things in my inventory and I have come to appreciate good designers.  Cannibelle is tops on my list for stockings and she makes appliers for just about any body, including toddlers.  The things on my nails are actually quite fantastic.  The Rawwr Claws are made by Plurabelle Lazslo of Bliensen + MaiTai for this month's round of We<3RP.  They are original mesh, available ready to wear for both slink casual and elegant hands as well as in sizes large enough as well as modifiable for the standard avatar hand, including for men.  They are delicious and a great statement piece!

8.13.2014: Sometimes the Pants Wear You

I have a "thing" for fetishy types of clothes that can be worn outside of RP. Pixicat's Rouge pants/boots for We <3 Role-Play are some of the most bad-ass looking pants I've seen in awhile.  I do not know areve, who is Pixicat, but I admire her terribly. She has amazing range, her mesh is great and I usually scoop up any new releases I can find of hers.  The textures on these pants...love.  I paired it up with Le Primatif's Kimono Blouse which is at the August round of FaMESHed because I really like yani Tryce's work, too. Plus I felt going all hard edge was just too obvious a choice :)

I am wearing Flounce's new release, Lana skin, in a darker tone and also added the "Beastly" brows for an updated look. Tableau Vivant's new Persephone hair for Collabor88 is gorgeous, and the version without the crown worked perfectly. Bliensen + MaiTai is all over the place lately and Plurabelle Laszlo's Mjolnir necklace gave a nice contrast to Le Primatif's solid top.

8.12.14: Never a Saint

When I die, they might say "she was a nice lady" but I will not be on anyone's short-list for sainthood, but it's fun to play one in SL.  I got a notice from May's Soul for her new Ave Maria crown that is now available at We <3 Role-Play and ended up looking around and spending a small fortune!  I am not involved in RP in SL; I am swamped working on events and attempting to not stink at blogging, but I like the idea of it as well as the chance to let go of my usual boundaries.  So shut up, Eden, the crown includes 4 lovely rose headpieces but I liked the edgier look of the plain crown for this look.  While I was spending L's I stumbled on the Favi gown from The Library.  I have few reasons to wear a gown in SL but this one was so slinky and sexy while covering up those parts I would rather not show off when I am out (PRUDE!) and I so love the collar and beaded effect.  Bliensen + MaiTai has the awesome Fenrir jewelry set at the event.  I thought Fenrir was just the character in Harry Potter but since you asked is from Norse mythology and is just a terrible-horrible wolf.  

I was absolutely flabbergasted that when I went to Glam Affair today with no hope of getting the limited edition Rose skins in Pearl tone that are on Flash Sale right now for only L$ 250 and includes different brow colors and such as I trust Aida Ewing to do but sit down, appliers for Slink (hands,feet,physique), Lolas and Phat-Azz and found lots were still available!  If you do not get at least one of the 4 versions, I just do not know how to help you!  The skin is pale, pale, which I think Aida does so well and appliers, too!  I'm surprised that just the bloggers in SL did not crash that sim trying to get one.  You need.  And Wasabi Pills, makes the Rye tone of blonde that is perfect with really fair skins. I adore her new release Joan, for the August round of the new Uber event.

2.7.14: Miss Tuffsy

Hi everyone.  Continuing to show some of the awesomeness you can get right now at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival and We <3 Role-Play.  The Arrow Paudrons from ieQED are nothing short of amazing.  Sigi knows her way around a paudron.  They are so stylized and sleek and are available in 4 metal textures. Each set includes both a solid and metal offset.  They are a unisex item and perfect for both RP'ers and for a bit of POW over "normal" clothing. You can pick them up right now at 25% off normal cost at We <3 Role-Play.

The rest of the items I am showing are from The Fantasy Gacha Carnival. The event has now been open for a week, so you may have better luck navigating it.  The event is ginormous and not to be missed.  It has really encouraged me to break out of my usual clothing rut and I am having fun with it. To say "I don't RP, so I don't need to go to that" really would be sad.  The variety is amazing, the quality is great and gachas are so much fun and cheap.  I will detail the items in credits.  Do not miss this event!

Serious Moonlight

If you say run, I'll run with you

If you say hide, we'll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

I was yearning to create a quiet, romantic scene ever since I saw Trompe Loeil's Skarstind Patio, that is included as part of this massive cottage pack which is at Collabor88 right now for a ridiculously low price.  It includes the world, so no debate on this buy.  I've decorated it with a collection of items from Collabor88, The Men's Department, We <3 Role-Play and a few old favorites.  Details and locations in Credits.  PS. I miss you, honey.
