Announcements, Announcements

Announcements! What a wonderful way to die, what a wonderful way to die! Who stole my cow? Moo! Who stole my cow? Moo!

That is a thing we used to do at my sleepaway camp when announcements were made at meals. But I do have announcements.

First, I'll be away this coming week. I'm going to Georgia to see my my boyfriend. So no Second Life for me. I'll be back soon though.

Second, I am an offical blogger for the Fantasy Faire 2010. The Fantasy Faire benefits the Relay for Life, and features everything and anything fantasy. There is shopping, live music, a hunt, and so much more. I know this isn't typical SL fashion, but it's amazing nonetheless. There will be different sims devoted to the different aspects of fantasy, such as elves, mer-people, nekos, science fiction, magical(fairies and wizards), goth/vampire, and general fantasy. I think I'll be walking around with my antlers on! Yummy!

As soon as I get the landmark, I'll blog it!
And here's a random pic of me:

Still Inventory Shopping

It's really amazing what you can find in your inventory. This dress, from [AV], is one of the most versitile dresses in my closet. You can wear it to a party, a more formal event, or even just out. The black color is great for pairing with brighter colored accessories, like the flower, which comes with the set. Even the pin is amazing. It looks realistic, and you can wear it with anything. I love the tiered look of the skirt.

Can't Think....

...of a good post title.



I love me a great customizable outfit. One that has a bunch of different ways to wear it. This set is one such thing. It's called cotton candy in pink. I am wearing the ruffle dress in the following picture

Now it gets interesting. Here I'm wearing the simple dress.





Now the skirt and one of the frilly tops.



The simple top.



The simple tunic.

The frilly tunic.

And now, the best one, even though I'd never wear it. A short frilly top with skirt.




This is such a great buy. It comes in pink, as shown here, brown, blue and yellow. It's L$120 each, and the fatpack is L$400.


At this store, there are some really cool things. I love a skirt with a dark flower pattern on it. There is also an embrodiered skirt I want. I'm definitely coming back.

The Skin I'm In

Following up on my wardrobe digging, I'm exploring my less-used skins.This skin is from Schismphrenic and is called Red Solstice Lena. My middle name is Lena, so I immediatly put it on. I got it from DSN. The eye make up is a heavy red, and the lips have a couture This outfit is a mishmosh of clothes I found from doing the last post. The shorts are the mijn.t [VINTAGE MONDAY] shorts without the prims. See, I told you they were pretty. The bolero is the one from Hal*Hina with the prims. And of course I have the Fri.Day free tank.



This skin is from Brazen Women, and is from the line is called Classic Lines III. The skins age you very gracefully. The grid is full of young, hot women and men. This is just an older, hot woman. The makeup is tastefully done. The hair is from that random freebie-giver, I think. It is very classy. It is just gorgous. The top is from the mijn.t [PEPE is my cat BODYSUIT] in red. I think it gives the outfit a bit a edge without being to outlandish.

Cleaning Out the Closet

I'm tired of seeing all the same things all over the feeds. Aren't you?

So here are some wonderful things that have been hiding in my inventory.
It looks like I'm waving. :) Since the weather is looking brighter and warmer, I decided to put this delicious pink dress on. It is the perfect thing to wear on a sunny day! From Reale, it features an adorable dark denim triangle top, and an a-line, flowery skirt. The antlers are from Illusions, my favorite place for all things fantasy. The photo hall I'm using is a DSN gift from ~La Petite Morte~. It is great, and I love all the preloaded textures. I just wish I could add my own textures. There is one for sale, which I believe you can add your own textures. But don't take my word for it. I'll look into it and get back to you. This outfit is more of a professional one. It started with [Pink Outfitters] Executive Cord Pant I got a while ago. I love the detail in it. Then I added one of the COCO gifts, the black turtleneck. I hate turtlenecks in real life, but this one is really cool. Good job, cocoro Lemon! The bracelet is something I just got from DSN. It's from Dark Mouse, and it is really cool. The shoes are the Maitreya group gift. It includes all the colors you can think of. This outfit started with the mijn.t shorts. The [VINTAGE MONDAY] shorts look good as is, but also look great without the prims. Now, finding a shirt to go with these shorts was really difficult. Finally, I found the free tank from Friday. Really cute, and really simple. No shoes with this look. I am currently running around in this outfit.
I look weird without antlers. This look was inspired by the ~La Petite Morte~ group gift of a runway photo set. The dress is by LOOKR, and is called Elegente. For the hair, I wanted a more formal look, but @Waffles! Free sophisticated love in dark chocolate did the job. The pose, Kewtie Pie by Long Awkward Pose, does a great job accentuating the asymmetry of the dress.

This is my sexy kitty look. The bolero is from Hal*Hina, and was a gift. I'm not wearing the sleeves because I really like how this looks. The shorts are Pig's contribution to the Red Packet Hunt. I'm wearing the soild version; a sheer version is included. Now, for a story about my hair. I was hanging out, and someone asked me if I wanted freebies. So, of course I said yes. Then this person dumped a whole bunch of everything on me, including this hair. It's labeled The Envy. That's it. Dunno where it's from. I think this is a sexy little outfit.
I never knew I had so much in my closet! Go see what's in yours!

A Very Fashionable Blacksmith

I made gloves. I have called them Godiva. Who knows why. I just did. You can't really see all the details here, but they're there. The gloves are shadowed and high lighted, and also have wrinkles for a bit of realism. They're my first piece of clothing I've made in a while, and I think they're pretty nice. If you want them, just ask. I might charge for them, I might not. The brand is called Blacksmith (with a period at the end).

The shirt is, I think, a gift from PIDDIDLE. It's gone now, but I like it. The skirt is from /artilleri/. The pose was a part of a 50L Friday offering from (pda).

I need to sleep.

Night.

Style Notes:

Skin:*CUPCAKES - Daydream - Sambuca - Ebony

^There is no store inworld for Blacksmith. I made the gloves on a whim.

The Illusionist

If I could go to only one place for fantasy stuff, it would be Illusions.

If you want it, it's there, and the designer and owner, Siyu Suen, takes suggestions and usually makes them happen.

There are so many items, I don't even know where to start! But I'm gonna try. Here we go. There are half masks, full masks, small horns, big horns, all sorts of antlers, all sorts of elf ears, hats, jewelry, Arabian veils, wings, and more. There are even sets, like pirate accessories. I just know I didn't mention everything in store.


This is the Cat Mask Demo. I love it. I want to reach out and pet it. Siyu makes more animal masks, including a horse/unicorn, a minotaur, a deer, and two dragons, one in the Eastern style and the other one in the Western style. They are priced pretty reasonably, ranging from about L$200 to about L$400. The Cat Mask is color change to a bunch of different fur colors.

The above photo is killing two birds with one stone. The mask, Columbina, is one of the lucky chair's gifts. It comes with one other mask. The veil is called Suleika, and can the fabric and the metal can be independently changed. It comes with a headpiece and a necklace.

There is a lucky chair with about five prizes. The prizes are bunny ears, a box of Harlequin masks, a vase of flowers, vampire teeth, and safety pin earrings. There is a cheat wall so you can buy what you want instead of waiting for it. I want the bunny ears. I did get the Harlequin masks, though. There are two styles, Civetta and Columbina, in both male and female styles. I am obviously wearing the female styles.

This is the female Civetta style mask I won from the lucky chair. The pose I'm using is one of (pda)'s 50 Linden Friday Deals. It's called Don't Do It.

There are also two hunts going on at Illusions: STEAM and the Magic and Romance Hunt. For the STEAM Hunt, there is a top hat with gears on it up for grabs. For the Magic and Romance Hunt, find a rose(not hard; it's where it you'd think it would be), and you'll get a gorgeous mask. I'm really not doing it justice, wearing jeans and a top and all. I should be wearing a ball gown.
I wish I got a better picture of it. It's so light, and it's just so pretty. I'm gonna need to make an outfit around this mask one day.

And that's what I'll leave you with.
