Last days of Chinese New Year festival

Have you been to the Chinese New Year festival yet? The event closes on 21 February so there's not much time left to visit.

This post features skin and dress by Potcha, purse by C'est La Vie, and decorations from Dysfunctional Designs and Xiaj.

Slurl to Chinese New Year festival

The red witch

Another Red Riding Hood-inspired outfit from Enchantment. This mesh gown is from Peqe and comes in two ombre shades; red to black or black to red. There's a matching hood included which you can wear or not as you please, and there are three different sizes to help accomodate your hair.

The gown isn't entirely innocent as there's a skin-revealing cut-out at the back. I think it could be a great option for a sorceress or priestess - someone with a little magic and maybe even some menace to them.

The customisable necklace is from Aisling at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival - this one is the rare, which comes with a hud for multiple texture change options.

Additional jewelry comes from Bokeh (also at Enchantment), Magic Nook and Soedara, while the skin is from Belleza at Collabor88 (this round will be changing over very soon).

Inspiration Point hunt & shoes from Lassitude & Ennui

So in-between grabbing Advent gifts last night, I wandered over to the Inspiration Point sim hunt and scored a bunch of stuff for 0L.

It's not specifically RP-oriented but there are some very nice items you'll be able to incorporate into a look (and probably do a better job than me!) My favourites include the fur collar and muff from The Secret Store, plus the silk tees from House of Fox. HOF also have a fabulous, sleek red dress/tunic as a hunt prize.

I finished the look with skirts from an older Evie's Closet outfit and gorgeous shoes from Lassitude & Ennui, which are at the current round of  We Love Role-Play (close-up after the jump).

Both hunt and W<3RP run until 31 January, so hopefully you'll find some time over the holidays to check them out, if you so desire!

Sugar Plum

Sugar Plum

Ok, I think I managed to get a fairly close colour match this week - thanks to a Kunglers top I picked up in the Dressing Room Fusion quite a while ago.

The rest of the outfit comprises a older sculpt skirt I grabbed in Fishy Strawberry when their sale was on, arm warmers from On a Lark's Beau outfit, fur shrug from Indyra's Claudette outfit, and a hat from Milk Motion at the current round of C88. (It started out white, but I tinted it.)

Pretty

Yay! Pretty flexies!

I wanted to show you some particular items tonight, so I kind of threw together a look. The items in question are a new handbag from Junbug and a jewelry set from AZE.

What both pieces have in common is their essential 'prettiness' - both are delightfully feminine and delicately colourful.

The AZE jewelry set is inspired by Victorian magic lanterns - a kind of slideshow. The necklace shows a rendition of the actual projector, so it might be best kept to contemporary, Victorian or steampunk sims. The earrings and bracelets don't have this reference though so can be worn anywhere!

Crayon colour challenge: Week 41, Alien Armpit

Alien Armpit

Alien Armpit

This outrageous lime colour (I'd call it "limey punk"!) wasn't too difficult thanks to a fabulous sale at The Plastik some time ago. I think fatpacks were redueced to 500L or something like that... So whenever there's a colour that isn't very me, I have a rummage in the bottom of those packs and sometimes turn up the perfect option!

The jewelry in the photo is another Horrorfest release, this time from AZE Designs by Amilia Zabaleta. It's the Yum Kimil Maya jade and gold set, and it's inspired by a tale of travellers exploring ancient Mayan temples... and the mysterious dark curses that await them...

The Yum Kimil Bracelet Set is the100% donation item and it's 200L, with proceeds going to The Epilepsy Therapy Project. (earrings are 150L, necklace 250L). Find them at Horrorfest!

Free slave outfit at Soedara

I've been lacking in blog-inspiration for the last little while, but when I saw Soedara had put a freebie out, I had to share it as soon as possible!

You'll find  ~Soedara~ Grinhilde Bond Freebie in the centre of the store, near to the landing point. (Don't forget to check the lucky chair while you're there!

In addition, there's a sale on in the store, with selected items 30%, 40% or 50% off. Signs indicating reductions are dotted round the store.

Fifty Linden Fashionista

Whenever I see The.Plastik are on the Fifty Linden Friday list, I get a little over-excited, cos it's just a shortcut to AWESOME.

Today's round features three great packages from Vae - one of which is another massive box of mesh clothes . I'm wearing just a few pieces from the box in the pics. It's probably about 5% of what you get altogether!

She's also put two beautiful skins out, one of which is pale and delicate, while the other is a teal-coloured fantasy skin (perfect for Second Life aliens or mermaids!).

That's not one of the Plastik skins I'm wearing though; it's from Belleza, and it's also a 50L offer.  Lana comes in a medium tone and features some cute freckles and flicked black eyeliner.

Delicious Delilah silks

'Kay, before I get stuck into telling you about this recent release from Delicious, I just wanted to mention a really neat extra that comes with the new Aeva skins I mentioned last night. (I didn't spot it until now, DERP.) Pre-tinted mesh feet. Yup, no more messing with huds or anything like that; each tone of the four new Aeva skins includes matching mesh feet in six sizes, plus alphas.

New from Soedara: Kara-Khitan silk and chastity belt

It's late, so imma make this quick. The latest release from Soedara is chastity belt / set of silks which comes in a big box of awesomeness with myriad ways of wearing.

The silks belt is constructed as a chastity belt, and you can choose which of the eight different skirt styles to wear, or layer different styles up.  Front and back skirts are added separately so you could also experiment with wearing a short skirt in front and a long skirt in back... or whatever else you wanted to do.
