The sands

When the vendor image for this stunning headdress popped up in my flickr feed, it was love at first sight.  I knew I had to have it! Luckily, it wasn't too long to wait, and this stunning collaboration from Eudora and Enfant Terrible is available now from Uber.

There's a close-up photo after the jump, and you should definitely take a look, as the textures are so amazingly detailed. It's priced at 400L, which I think is definitely a fair price for an original mesh creation as beautifully realized as this.

I'm also wearing top from 22769, chestpiece from Storybook, silks from Soedara, jewelry from Aisling, and sandals from Maitreya.

Golden girl

Some more items from Enchantment to show you... and also a brand new outfit from Soedara.

Adored Bodyshop have produced a nice cosmetics collection for this round. I'm wearing the Gilded eyeliner in Princess, and the Golden Girl nails for Slink hands and feet. At their store, you'll also find a set of smoky eyeshadows and some metallic lipcolours (not shown). Their prize is a set of eyes - the Firstborn eyes - containing six different colours of system and mesh eyes. (I'm wearing goldenbrown.)

Modish, meanwhile, have released a set of eyebrow tattoos (Mesh Project compatible, not shown), and their prize is the Auric gold jewelry set of earrings and bangle.

Soedara's latest outfit is Aegle Nymph of the Evening set of mesh silks. In the box you'll find the mesh top and skirt in standard sizes (plus a bonus top to accomodate your Lolas, etc).

There are several huds giving you tons of customisation options. You have four choices of fabric tint, and change its transparency, which also means you can wear the top and skirt as necklace and belt instead, if you want. The hud also allows you choose between bead colours and 13 jewel colours, plus four colours of metal.  Also included is a pretty circlet in three colours (gold, silver and bronze).

Equinox

Arabic Equinox is a recent mesh release from Soedara. There are so many different ways to wear it, as the hud lets you select between two different textures for each (and a basic black version).  You can also change the opacity of various parts of the outfit, or make them entirely transparent.

With everything opaque, the outfit is almost chalwar-esque, as looks more like pants than silks. Or, you can turn everything off, so you're left with a very skimpy outfit consisting of only the ropes parts. There's even a separate hud for changing the rope color. Helpfully, there's a texture included showing you all the different combinations for the outfit.

In addition, you get the usual box full of Soedara goodies. There's a full set of jewelry, including circlet, ear cuffs, veils, armbands, bracelets, bellyjewel, anklets, and some variations of the slippers.

There's also a tattoo included, BUT, I'm not wearing it in these pictures. Instead I'm wearing a henna tattoo which is  another prize from Kun's upcoming Fantasy Gacha Carnival offerings. I've tinted it slightly in this picture - great to be able to do that.

Slurl to Soedara

Courtesan

Some recently released shoes from Pure Poison inspired me to try something just a little different for this post. We all know Gorean slaves can't wear high heel wedge shoes - but a courtesan from another world certainly could.

Also new are the Zaia hand jewels from Earthstones for Slink hands (note - these are fitted to the Slink Casual and Elegant1 hands, so check you have these hands, and that you buy from the correct vendor).

The clothes are from Soedara - the top is a sexy new mesh camisk, while the skirt is from a set of good ol' flexi-and-sculpt silks. Mask from Boudoir, additional jewelry from Zaara and Lost Haven, and skin from The.Plastik.

Desert Dream

Back to my roots... silks! The Desert Dream silks are a colourful recent release from Second Moon. It's a traditional set of dancing silks - no mesh, lots of mobile flexis. There are lots of different ways to wear it, and you can mix-and-match with the other desert ranges.

The collar is from The Forge, at  We Love Role-Play. You have until the end of the month to buy it there at a discount before the venue shuts down to prepare for the new round on 4 April.

Beloved nymph, princess of rivers

It's the mermaid round of Genre, but this outfit from The Library would be perfect for kajirae or fae who like wearing silks. It's a mesh outfit, in two pieces - a skirt in the usual five sizes, and a collection of bead necklaces. At 200L it's slightly more expensive than most Genre offerings, but it's still a good price for a really nice outfit.

I grabbed quite a few things at this round, including an outfit from Sweet Lies and a circlet from On a Lark, plus the gift box that Curious Kitties put out.

The Precious Haifa silks - and a free gift - from Soedara

The free version of Soedara's Precious Haifa silk; pose by Mien

To celebrate her association with Port Haifa, Marbella Pronovost has created the Precious Haifa silks. You can currently grab a special edition of this silk for free at Port Haifa, where Soedara is vendor of the week.

If you like the silk, you should definitely consider the 'deluxe' version of the silks, you get a twin pack of colours. Each colour comes in either silver or gold trim (with matching jewelry), and there are three styles of skirt - long, short and 'slutty'!

You also get armbands and anklets in both silver and gold, and Lola's Tango and PhatAzz appliers. (The freebie includes just one colour silk and the long skirt.)

New round of The Fantasy Collective opens tomorrow

A new round of The Fantasy Collective opens tomorrow (rumours of its demise had been greatly exaggerated) with the inspirational theme of 'Arabian Nights'.

As always the event is full of exclusive goodies - they will not be available again for at least 6 months.

In these pictures, I'm wearing some mesh silks from Sakide, Slink feet add-on shoes from Hopscotch, and hair jewel from Sweet Poison.

The Drapee silks from Soedara

New mesh silks from Soedara! The Drapee silks come in two styles; Beaute Drapee and Dirt Drapee, for dancing girls or hard workers.

Each set of silks comes with a hud allowing you to choose different colours for the chain parts, and for the Beaute silks, different levels of sheerness. The Dirt silks come with three different shades included, while the Beaute packs include a solid colour and an ombre.

The Dirt silks come with shackles, while the Beauty silks come with jewelry, including an ornate circlet. (There's a simpler version of it with the Dirt silks.)

Tiamat

Brand new from Soedara - the Elysian Tiamat bellydance outfit. As always, the box is stuffed full of goodies. You can choose to wear your outfit with silver or gold trim - clothing layer top, mesh skirt, and prim belly jewel all come with different options to support this.

 There are three different styles of bolero jackets and your choice of a sheer or non-sheer veil. Various pieces of jewelry are included too, and the belt and bracelet feature colour change gems.

The poses and props are three common prizes from Infiniti's 'Keeper of the Light' pose gacha at the upcoming Fantasy Gacha Carnival (opening 1 February). These poses are some of the 10 commons, while the special rare prize is a couple pose.

The nail appliers (Slink hands and feet only) are from Wicked Peach, and another item from the Fantasy Gacha. Close up of rare gacha prize Mermaid Scale after the jump.

I was playing with my new Curio skins and was really enchanted by this one - Makeup 2 of Nadia. For a more womanly look (Gala's skins always tend towards the fresh and youthful), I used one of my less conventional shapes and just tweaked the lips and made the eyes a little bit wider. Curio skins - in my opinion - often look good on stronger face shapes. Must experiment with this in the future!

Soedara's Saga of Valkyrja

Some photos of Soedara's Saga of Valkyrja chastity belt - silks outfit. I have to say, it's a total steal of an oufit, as you basically get the equivalent of a fatpack for 450L!

At the moment, there are two sets of the outfit, both with gold metal. Set 1 includes the silk colours creamy, pink, white, lilac, blue, apple, red, and yellow. Set 2 has peach, soft pink, silvery, mint, icy, lavender, and black.

Reshmaan camisk and silks from Soedara

So, I was having some problems with taking pictures, possibly because I changed some debug settings to try and improve graphics.  I downloaded the new Firestorm Beta and got some... interesting results. Such as, photos where everything is black except the meshes. Or photos where everything is normal except my avatar has no face. Aaaarrgghh!

Anyway, this camisk and silks set is a recent release from Soedara, and it is packed full of things to play with as always. There are at least three different versions of the camisk, in sheer, semi-sheer, and normal. (Note: Thanks to changes in the viewer, you'll need to have advanced lighting enabled in graphic preferences to see the transparency. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.)

There's a hud so you can change the saturation level of the camisk colour, two belts, one of which is simple and one which has hud-controlled colour change beads. There are also a variety of silks to add - long or short. They're mod, so you can change the transparency as you please, and match it up to the camisk if you like.

Beautiful jewelry too - as well as the gold belts, there are simple armbands, anklets and a collar (scripted and unscripted versions). There's a lovely long necklace also, and a diadem with a stone coloured to match the outfit.

Faridah from Delicious

Seems like it's been a while since I did a non-event post, so here's a look at a recent release from Delicious (before I get back to events, lol).

Faridah is a recent release from Delicious and you have three ways to wear the outfit - as a camisk or tunic, as dancing silks, or as, um, casual silks?

The outfit is a mix of mesh (the tunic, the short silks) and flexi silks, prims, and clothing layers.

I really like that the belt is available separately - ie without attached silks - perfect for adding to other outfits!

(The necklace is from  Soedara btw.)

We Love Role-Play... with Soedara's new silks and Bite & Claw's Arcane skin!

Celestial Bidadari Nymph in Black humble - at round six of We <3 RP

I'm off to the airport tomorrow morning, so yes... this post is a little bit rushed, but I wanted to give you a quick heads up on some cool stuff coming your way!

Tomorrow sees the opening of the sixth round of We <3 Role-Play , and Soedara have put out a colour (black!) of their latest silks at a 40% discount.

Don't miss this opportunity, as it's one of Soedara's pricier silks, the full price is L$799. However, the outfit can be worn in so many different ways, and there are so many different pieces included (well over 50!). I don't have time to show all the options, luckily Ms Pronovost has included a 'cheat sheet' which I've posted at the end.

The skin I'm wearing is from Bite & Claw - it's called the Arcane skin and features tattoos of glyphs and esoteric symbols. These are on the skin, not on layers. Each pack includes 8 skins - dark or light brown, and four levels of cleavage. Also included are a shape, brows, bare feet (not worn) and Lola's appliers.

The poses are from Musa, who have put out a set of eyeshadows, fantasy poses, and gown poses for this round.

Love Donna Flora

Two quick photos showing a few things I picked up at the Love Donna Flora event, which opened on 25 July and will run to 11 August. I'm pleased to report the event was so busy the first few days after opening, I couldn't even get in to the sim!

As you've probably heard, the event is being held to raise funds for much-loved designer Squinternet Larnia, who is gravely ill.

30L Saturday, 27 July

Velvet Whip -  Jeweled in Aquamarine -

I haven't blogged 30L Saturday in a while, but there were so many cute outfits on today's list that I couldn't resist.

(And because it's summer, I ended up in a wintry skybox on the Humanoid sim. Go figure.)

Most of the outfits have multiple ways to wear them, so they're insane value for 30L.
