Winter lavender

I've always been a big fan of  Kaethe Dyrssen's Leafy skins, so I was really happy to see a new release - her first in ages - pop up in her Flickr feet. And, guess what, appliers are included... for Loud Mouth,  Nyam Nyam, Phat Azz, Tangos, and Slink Hands & Feet.

At the moment, there's just one pack of Mirabai available, which includes three skins in two pale tones with different brow options.  Also included are 25 different tattoo layers with makeups, freckles and so on, brow shapers, and cleavage enhancer layers.

The skin is young, fresh, and pretty; and I think 875L is not a bad price for what you get in the box. If you like pale skins, I definitely recommend that you grab a demo and check it out.

My outfit is new from Soedara - the very smexy Wyntir camisk.  It's hud-driven, letting you choose between five different tones and clean or dirty versions. You also get upper arm bands, bangles, and a belly jewel.

While short hair is not traditional for slaves, I thought this tousled style from Elua could make for some fun roleplay. Perfect if you've had your hair cropped as a punishment, for travel, or due to illness.

The lavender headdress is from Lode, and it's at the current round of The Secret Affair. The theme is "Untamed Purity", and if you haven't already visited, be warned! The event is so full of delectable and desirable objects that you're going to need a wallet full of Linden dollars...

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.

I think it's snowing

I recently stopped by Creation.jp and left with a considerably lightened wallet as there were so many cute things.

This vest or shrug from Gizza was designed as a contemporary item, but inspired me to put together a wintry look for a slave or panther.

Fortunately, snow in SL isn't all that cold, so you can run around with bare chest, tummy and thighs, even if you do inspire shivers in onlookers. Otherwise, you could always just layer it over some warmer clothes.

Also at Creation.jp are some fabulous new windblown hairstyles from Tableau Vivant. This is Harukaze which includes both male and female sizes. The other is Breeze, which you can buy for either male or female avatars.

The socks are actually from last year's Frost fair, by Lapointe & Bastchild. They come with a colourchange hud which allows you to turn the pompoms off, but I just had to leave them on...

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.)

Fifty Linden Friday again...

My favourite Fifty Linden Friday round is always the one which includes The.Plastik - and that's today. There are two special offers out today, one of which is the Raine outfit set. I'm wearing the dress and top from it in these pictures, but it also includes a mini-skirt, corset, boots, and puff sleeves, plus appliers... all for just 50L.

Also in today's FLF are the Connie sandals from Noodles, and the Trudy poses from oOo Studio (btw, there's a 50% off sale at oOo until 31st August).

Full credits after the jump.

Super-express post!

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

Natsumi

Natsumi Girl is a new release from  Soedara, it's an Asian-styled 'dress' so perfect for Pani roleplay sims. The outfit includes five sizes of mesh, bracelets, and a hair flower. It's also a bargainous 150L.

I haven't tried layering it yet, I suspect it might work well as a tunic over trousers, but it looks like it might be a little too fitted for skirts and gowns.

Also, if you're not as out of the loop as I am, you probably already know that Aisling (or a i s l i n g) are celebrating their first anniversary. They've very generously put out a special collection of gifts, which includes this circlet and necklace set for women. (There's also a necklace for men, and a variety of decor items.)

This slurl should take you right there - Aisling anniversary gift - but if you do land at the main entrance, look for the special glowing teleportal! I'm not sure how long gifts will be out for, but at least one is a limited edition and the countdown clock reads 19 days.

Earrings (by Distorted Dreams) and Face jewels (from The Forge) are both available at We Love Role-Play while my foot jewels (Pure Poison) and fan are from Fantasy Gacha Carnival 
Both events run until the end of the month.

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...

FF2014: My new shiny

This year, there are a number of Fantasy Faire blogger challenges. You don't have to be an official blogger or even a blogger to take part - if you'd like to know more, details are on the official FF blog.

This post is my shot for 'My New Shiny' - a challenge to find a store you'd never heard of before, and blog or photograph something you love from there.

Even though I haven't spent nearly as much time exploring the Faire as I'd like (must rectify that before it closes on May 11), I did stumble across two treasures.

First of these is the Fantasy Headdress and Collar from Unzipped (on the Asperatus sim). The set includes the filigree mask and sidepieces, the collar, and the black feather-y 'hair'. It's one of Unzipped's RFL items so benefits the American Cancer Society, and it's a very good deal at 400L!

Second is the Mystik foot jewel from Hollyweird, who are sharing a booth with Heartistic and Cutebomb (on the Mourningvale Thicket sim). I love foot and hand jewels, and this one is slightly different in that it's for Slink mid feet rather than flat... perfect for dancers, elegantly perched on the tips of their toes. Again, it's an RFL item, and 150L seems a fair price for such a pretty little trinket.

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.

Fantasy Gacha Carnival is now open!

Fantasy Gacha Carnival is now open, so let the shopping begin!

In these posts, I'm wearing some stunning new foot jewels for Slin feet from Pure Poison, the beautiful Arabian Rose set from May's Soul, and bodysuit from Kun.

These are just a tiny selection from the fabulous prizes that await you at FGC!

Slurl to Fantasy Gacha Carnival

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

Soedara at We Love Role-Play

Round 11 of  We <3 RP opens on Friday. Soedara have put out two new outfits, each at 30% off. The Scurvy Wench is a pirate-inspired ensemble, featuring a corseted dress, shrug, armwarmers and jewelry. Meanwhile, Berhawa-nafsu is a skimpy mesh camisk.

Both outfits have lots of options for you to play with; some are hud controlled, and some are additional options included in the pack. For instance, with scurvy wench, the hud lets you change the colours of the corset and the flowers. There are also two colours of the shrug, and an alternative dress has different colours in the skirt. The Berhawa-nafsu huds let you change the opacity of the camisk, the colour of the fabric, or the colours of the beads.

The boots I'm wearing alongside Scurvy Wench are from Kahli Designs, and are part of the Elven Courtier outfit. The sandals I'm wearing with the camisk are add-ons for Slink flat feet from Maxi Gossamer, at this month's Fameshed.

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.)

The Brutal dresses from The Plastik

New from the The.Plastik - the Brutal dresses, a two-part outfit that could work as anything from an alternative camisk to clubwear, as the textures range from grungy leathers to brash colours. (I've 'borrowed' the previewer and added at the end!)

The top and bottom parts of the dress are separate meshes, so you can mix and match to your heart's content... or make your look a lot more risque.

Accessories - Wimey's Medusa arm band and Bliensen + MaiTai's Cassis earrings - are from the current round of We <3 Role-Play.

Slurl to The.Plastik  

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.)

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.

New outfit from Soedara & nail appliers from The.Plastik

Soedara - Belleza Isabella Pattern {Earth Tones}

Soedara  have just release a new mesh outfit - a top and skirt combo called Belleza Isabella. The outfit is a bit of a bargain as each pack contains 3 complimentary tones for only 150L.

You can choose from either the solid leather tones, or the pattern tones which feature a geometric print skirt. Great for mixing and matching, even across the same pack!

Over at the The.Plastik, Aikea has unleashed a veritable deluge of nail appliers for Slink hands and feet. To get an overview, check out the store blog post. Generally, you get 10 options in each pack, and they're grouped by colour or by texture (so for instance you could get a pack of purple shades, or a pack of sparkle tips). Talk about spoiled for choice.

Each pack includes huds for both hands and feet, and I really like that the huds stack on top of each other - so you can wear both at the same time. Photos after the jump.

Northern girl... or Southern?

Rushing to get this post done, as Glam Affair have a special 'cold day' edition of the Kaelyn skin out for Fifty Linden Friday (yes, that's right, it's today only).

The skin features a wind-burned look with rosy cheeks and nose - the very picture of a girl in the harsh northern climates. Or, has our girl been out under the hot southern sun for too long? Is that sunburn and freckles we see?

Soedara's new outfit, Lucretia, is a partial mesh outfit which could be worn by northern or southern girls. It's kirtle-inspired with a plunging neck, and features some Norse style decoration.

Add some extra layers and boots and you're ready to take on winter as you go about your chores. Alternatively, omit the layers and wear the outfit with the included jewelry to project the image of a high southern slave.
