My familiar

Some more previews from Enchantment, and a cute pet from Fantasy Gacha. Both events open tomorrow. Lots of pictures in this post, as there's a lot to show you!

The beautiful gown is Blanchette from Miamai. It has an elegant 1930s look and feel to it, but the hood at the back lends it a quirky touch. It also pays homage to Little Red Riding Hood, the underlying theme for this round of Enchantment.

The jewelry is from Bokeh, and comes in a variety of colours, including pearl, red, black and green. The ring sets include rings for left and right hands and versions for Slink hands. The necklaces include three different lengths. I really like nice, big chunky jewelry in SL - people can see it without having to cam in!

As with yesterday's post, the poses are from Infiniti. You can see that some of the  dynamic 'Running scared' make the mesh gown look as though it's billowing in the air.

Chinese New Year festival opens tomorrow

Chinese New Year festival opens tomorrow, and even thought it's not open just yet, I've linked with the slurl.

Cashmere & Keane have made a traditional-looking suit, which reminds me of an elegant pair of silk pyjamas. The outfit is one piece (not separate top and bottom), comes in male and female versions, and three different sizes. It's housed inside a little hut at the fair, so be sure and look inside.

The pose is from Posesion, from their 'geisha' set, and in the background, I've set out a variety of the decor items from the event. (I don't usually do decor - so hopefully it's not too much of a hot mess!)

The blackened crown

Only two days to go until Fantasy Gacha Carnival opens - and I haven't even featured everything I'd like to. There really are so many amazing things this round.

The mini-cape is the rare from one of Junbug's gachas, and differs from the commons by having a fur trim. There's a wide range of satin colours among the commons, and three fur textures. Gown is from Peqe, and the leggings from Yasum.

The rings and staff are from On a Lark, and the hand jewels are part of the Aaliyah sets from Luas. Belt and armbands are from Luminary, and finally the crown is from ieQED.

All poses are by Infiniti, and you can get them at Enchantment, which also opens on 1 February. 'The better to see you with' set is made of poses featuring hands close to the face - perfect for showing off jewelry or artful nails!

The static poses of 'Running scared' are very dynamic - I love poses which suggest a sense of movement, and these certainly do that. I've found they can have very interesting effects with mesh gowns (another post to follow!) so try them out, and see what you think...

Whimsical girl

CNY Fest, celebrating the Chinese New Year, opens on January 31st. (It's the Year of the Horse, and from what I've seen of predictions so far, a lot of people will have a good year, and others will have a mixed year. I don't think I saw any disasters promised for anyone, thankfully.)

The event is brought to you by the people behind the Water Lantern Festival, so you know what that means - an eclectic shopping experience on a beautiful sim.

Participating designers include Junbug, Half-Deer, Xiaj, Posesion, C'est La Vie!, FAUN, and lots more, with a mix of regular stores and gachas.

To survive

Lots more goodies from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival which opens in two days time. Armlets, boots and collar are from MeshedUp, the crown is from Distorted Dreams, and the mask from Black Pearls.
The fur outfit is from gO, staff from Stitched Gods, and skirt/belt from Keystone.

If you're impatient, you can grab the ears now at The Fantasy Collective) and there's still time to get to the current round of Collabor88, where you can find this hair from Clawtooth.

Winter is coming

Do you like my direwolf? I promise she won't bite - unless I tell her to.

Strictly speaking, she's not a direwolf, but the 'My Wolf' pose prop from Captivity Co, available exclusively at the Enchantment event which opens on 1 February. Just rez your wolf, sit, and choose

This round is inspired by the story of Little Red Riding Hood, so there are lots of red, black and grey colour schemes, and lots of wolf motifs.

You'll find one such emblem on the flower headdress, which forms one part of Enfant Terrible's offerings. It's available in many different colours - you're going to have a tough time choosing.

Opening on the same day is the Fantasy Gacha Carnival (did you think you were going to have any linden dollars in March? Hah!). I'm wearing a bunch of items from there also, including the Ferala chain necklace from May's Soul and neck-corset from Teriotrope.

From the woods

More great items from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival (just days away now!). I love this staff - it's a rare from Roawenwood, and it includes scripted poses/AO so you can just hold it and stand there all badass or walk along without stabbing yourself with it.

The cosy claw-trimmed fur stole is from Stitched, the sleeves are the Bette gloves from On a Lark, - they're a rare part of the corset set.

Hiding under all my accessories, you can see the new Laena tunic from Soedara. I grabbed the mittens in the League sale, today is the last day so hurry if you want to check it out...
