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.

Seafoam

This month's round of Collabor88) is themed 'Snow Day' and one of the featured colours is a beautifully frosty seafoam / aqua tone. I grabbed this shawl from Baiastice and the long mermaid skirt from Fashionably Dead to put together this modest look.

I delved deep into my inventory to add a short dress from u.f.o, top and sleeves from On a Lark, and a flexi skirt from an old FallnAngels outfit.

The hand jewels are an older design from Crystal Line. They're not intended for Slink hands, but with a little tweaking you should get a reasonable fit on at least some of the Slink hand models.  I'm wearing Casual and Elegant hands in the pictures.

Headdress is from Modern Couture, and the beanie hat I'm wearing as a hood comes from a Soedara outfit, tinted to match the shawl.

Finally, if you're super-quick you might still be able to catch the poses on special offer for Lazy Sunday at Ma Vie.

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).

Desert dancer

So, I'm back! It seems like there's been an insane amount of stuff happening event-wise these days. Unfortunately, my SL is very laggy (is it the ridiculous inventory I'm dragging around?) so exploring is not so much fun.

Anyway, less complaining, more fashion.

Vurdah of the Desert is a recent release from Soedara, and it's funky mesh top and harem pants combo. a You get three versions of the top; in these photos, I'm wearing the slightly-sheer version. Also included are the belt, anklets, bangles, upperarm bands, face chain and diamond bindi.

(PSSST, the gold colour of the outfit is 160L, almost half price, on the marketplace as a promotion. I don't know how long this will last.)

Super-express post!

A very quick look at some items from current events, including the Fantasy Room, Genre and We Love Role-Play.

FF2014: SSD

Today is the last day of  Fantasy Faire for 2014, so it's your last chance to wander the awe-inspiring sims and snap up some purchases in aid of the American Cancer Society.

In these pictures, I'm wearing a set of body jewelry from Sax Shepherd Designs (Hope's Horizon sim). This is the Nyx set in gunmetal.  Your set includes a forehead jewel, necklace, earrings, nipple covers (with a set pre-positioned for Lola's), belt, and a bikini bottom for modesty (!). There's also a hud which allows you to turn the modesty on or off, recolour it, and change the colour of the gems.

If you have some add-on silks, you can turn the jewelry set into some dancing silks. After the jump, I've used Soedara's add-on silks for the Adora Bejewelled outfit. These are perfect as you get several different lengths and style of silk, and front and back are separate so you can position them exactly as you want.

I've also added some hand and foot jewels from On a Lark, because I'm a sucker for hand/foot jewels...

White silk

We Love Role-Play is now open!

I spied the pretty Elora mesh lingerie set from !gO! and thought the top especially would make a nice addition to my wardrobe. Perfect as an alternative top for any white silks. I love the ribbon that threads around and dangles in front. Mesh panties (not shown) are also included, and the set also comes in pale pink.

There's another great new release from Calico - this time it's a super long style. That is to say, it's superlong at the back, but the front is relatively short ensuring it doesn't hide your beautiful clothes or clash with your Lolas. Very clever, and very wearable.

I finally picked up the cheapie necklace from Kahli Designs, I don't now why it took me so long as it's only 50L and very pretty. Perfect for slave bina or a rustic look as it's beads threaded onto wicker laces.

Don't forget everything at We Love Role-Play is discounted for the duration of the event.

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

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.

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.)

We Love Role-Play opens tomorrow

After a month-long break, We <3 Role-Play returns tomorrow at a new location (so bin your old landmarks!).  The event opens at 3pm SLT.

Just two of the items you'll find there are the Sister Crow necklace and headdress from Paper Moon's Sisters of the Wood series. The necklaces are new additions to the series are have an introductory 25% off for the event.

The outfit I'm wearing is from Soedara - a panther or bondmaid outfit called Journey of Dagveig. It comes in four colours, and each colour somes with with different variations - leather, fur, mixed textures, and stud top. There's also a hud which allows you to change the textures of the belt leather, buckles and studs.

The Fantasy Collective opens tomorrow

The Fantasy Collective opens tomorrow, and sadly, this mini-round is the last round ever. The items are exclusive, and won't be available outside the event for 3 months.

I've got a bunch of stuff in this post to show you (and more to follow). First off, the skin is from Bite & Claw, and is the rare 'Bare' option from the Fleur gacha. The skins include matching mesh feet and a shape, and you can buy various appliers at the B&C mainstore if required.

The outfit is from On a Lark, and each pack (natural or jewel tones) comes with a hud giving you three fabric colour options, and four metal texture options. I find it fits really well - I didn't bother wearing the included alpha at all.

As for accessories, Keystone have come up with the beautiful 'Bondmaiden's Headpiece', which comes in gold, silver, or a combination of the two metals. (I've worn Silver and Gold x Silver in these pics.) The necklace is the Tory piece from Distorted Dreams, available in gold or silver. Note - you can click the stone in the centre to choose from nine different textures for it.

Gifts at the 25L Holiday Bazaar

You've probably seen or heard about the 25L Holiday Bazaar already (the Good Gorean has featured some outfits in this post)... I finally got round to sticking my head in last night.

Because I'm an inveterate freebie hound, the first thing I did was scoop up all the gifts from under the tree at the landing point. (I'm back there tonight to check the actual offers!) There are all sort sorts of lush role-play oriented gifts from your favourite 25L Tuesday merchants.

The event runs until 13 December - not long - so don't delay and take your taxi to the event!

Note: You will get booted from the sim if you exceed the 100 script limit (a really generous limit in my opinion)!

PS Just discovered there are even more gifts in some of the stores around the bazaar... happy days!

Don't forget to grab your gift from Soedara!

Just a quick reminder to pick up your gifts from Soedara as they won't be out much longer!

To celebrate the opening of new stores at the Serena Gardena sim (home to home to Soedara, Arwen's Creations, Elegance by Elysa, and House of Alcott), Soedara have put out some free gifts.

There are three different versions of the camisk pictured above - varying from revealing to more modest. I'm wearing the modest version with a pair of PG pants from another outfit! Also, two texture-change belly jewels, one silver and one gold.

There's 40% off  newest Soedara release, Quanah of the Plains,  too.

Other stores in the "Serena 4" have offers on as well - Elegance by Elysa have a gift of a free chair and Arwen's Creations have a Free Woman shawl, and a group gift of boots for members (join fee applies).

The box is stuffed full of options - three mesh camisks in standard sizes, each in varying levels of destruction, two clothing layer tops, chest and hair flowers, necklace, armbands, bracelets, anklets, waist jewel, bindi...

Also on offer at the event are the new Camael horns and Elven skins from The.Plastik.

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.
