The Fantasy Gatcha Fair

So this is the second part of my Fantasy Gacha Canival post.

I decided to was going to try and step out of my comfort zone with this post. I've done a little bit of role play themed blogging in the past, but this was a bit different.

There was so much amazing stuff at the fair that it took me forever to decided what I wanted and what I was going to piece together with what.

So first up we have The Warrior.



The fur dress is from Go! and it just said 'warrior' to me. So of course I had to team it with one of the poses from Rack Poses because they have these amazing swords.

The dress is amazing detailed with leather straps and a fur trim and it pulls across the body exactly like it should. Even if role play or gor isn't your thing, this is probably worth having in your inventory just for being a bit naughty!

Next up is The Angel.



I stared at this forever before I added the wings from Una and went.... That's it! I'd originally been keeping the wings for another picture that I never did, but they just fit in this one so well. I love how the feathers look almost real.

The chain harness and skirt are from Luas and come in a bunch of different colours and styles. I ended up with the hawk in silver which I was quite pleased about.

The bracelets are hawk in metal and are a darker colour, but you can mix and match all the pieces as you see fit. They are mesh, but not rigged so you can resize and move them about to make sure they fit.

Now we have The Priestess



The dress is from Peqe and is a lovely flowin dress but it is open at the front and you will need panties or something underneath unless you are completely comfortable with flashing you naughty bits to everyone.

The headdress from Axis blew me away with the level of intricate detailing, especially in the skull. The neck piece and the head piece are separate so you can wear the neck piece that fits you properly.

I felt a bit like a voodoo priestess in this outfit.

And last up we have The Fighter



The outfit is from Yasum and the leggings and dress are in separate gacha machines so you can mix and match the colours. It's lovely and well worth grabbing.

I had to show off another pose from Rack Poses with this outfit. The pose on the left comes with the swords, the pose on the right is from another creator but looks equally as good with them.

The headpiece is from The Library and while this is supposed to be a full headpiece that goes all the way back of the head I loved how it looked tucked into my hair.

I hope you enjoyed something a bit different than usual. I really enjoyed taking the pictures and fiddling around with the outfits until I was happy.

The Fantasy Gacha Canival opens on the 1st February! Not long now!

The Fantasy Gatcha Fair - An Lar Poses

I like to indulge in a bit of role play now and again so it's always fun to find a gacha fair full of things I can use for that.

The Fantasy Gacha Carnival opens on the 1st February and is literally JAM PACKED with gachas full of all different kinds of amazing fantasy themed items.

You are going to find something you never even knew you wanted there so it is 100% worth going to have a look.

As you might expect I am a sucker for poses, so of course when I got hold of these poses from An Lar Poses I had to grab some friends and make them dress like (slightly slutty) sci-fi secret agents! LOL

Not that they put up much of a fight. We got a little bit too into it...

First up we've got the poses made for women. Enforcer.



They also have a rare couples pose available in this set.



Next up we've got the Executioner poses that are made for all you guys out there. However since I only had my girlies at hand we thought we'd be controversial!

Okay I'm teasing, as always most male based poses work for women so just use them for your girlies!



This set also comes with a rare couples pose.



I've got more goodies to show you from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. Keep your eye out for those coming soon!

Remember, the Fantasy Gacha Carnival opens on the 1st February so mark it down in your calendar and start saving some lindens.

Ain't It The Truth

It's new Truth hair day!

Never fails to get me all excited and it's two absolute corkers this week!

First up is Junia.



Loose ponytails are all the cute. I have so many but every time I see a new one I have to buy it . Everyone is just a little bit different!

This one is adorable!

Rowan is the second new hair available at Truth today. It's a loose style but with a more formal feel to it.



The waves are gorgeous and I like how it's been pushed back on the one side.

Hope your weekend is going well!

Erratic & Magika

I love it when the stores I love release new stuff!

So I rushed down to Erratic to grab the new trenchcoat that was released. As always, choosing a colour is practically a form of torture and I actually had to get someone to make the decision for me.



She chose the khaki colour and I'm glad she did. I really like it.

The detail in this coat is immense. I spent ages just camming around it and looking at all the folds and buttons. Gorgeous stuff!

Magika also has a new release.

I really like the shoulder length hair. It's not too long and not overly short. She's really nailed it with the new release, Never.



Always get a great choice of colours from Magika for a great price. Perfect for those who change hair colour with their outfit.

Me... I'll always be redhead. I dabbled with brunette for a while when I first joined SL but it never felt right. Red is me.

Oh and... it's Friday! YAY!

My Attic - January 2014

I love shoes... but we all know this is no secret.

So when I saw cute poses at the new round of My Attic that involved shoes I had to grab them. All the poses in the pack from NanTra are adorable and a must for the shoe addict in your life... but this one made me a giggle.



The shoes have secrets for me... what are they? Well one of them is that this adorable sweater dress from Lacuna and this sexy dischevelled hair from Mina is also available at My Attic.

The dress comes in what felt like endless colours and choosing which one I wanted was a type of torture! LOL. Luckily they are only 95L so you can treat yourself to more than one.

The tights are also from Lacuna and come in packs of 3. They also come with SLink appliers for your SLinky ladies out there.

Also at My Attic is a cute little dress from DCNY



I love the pattern on the dress and the little white collar and cuffs makes me think of Wednesday Adams.

It's adorable. It comes in several different colours, but the black caught my attention.

Lot's of other things available too, so go have a peek!

Vintage Vibes From Blacklace

The Theme Park is back and their theme for their new round is Vintage.

Blacklace has delivered two gorgeous vintage themed lingerie sets.

First up is a beautiful white lace set called Pippa.







































I'm a bit of a sucker for some highwaisted panties. They definitely give off the vintage feel.

The bra comes with or without straps and for all you ladies with mesh body parts it comes with all the appliers you could want.

Soft and pretty for the sweet innocent side of you.

The second set is a black satin and lace set called Katie.



This is for the naughtier side of you. Sexy satin and lace with a beautiful big bow at the back.

This time garter straps are included and in general those just make everything feel a little less innocent and little more sexy.

Again, all the appliers you could ever need.

Happy shopping!

Poser Pavilion & The Boutique

This round of The Boutique, The Garden and Poser Pavilion have all fallen on the same day.

I didn't grab anything from The Garden but Baiastice has some gorgeous boots available in The Boutique that are definitely worth a look.



You have loads of colours to choose from in either leather or suede. The studs down the sides of the boots can be changed several different colours or even made invisible for a sleeker look.

I really like the pointed toe, it's a bit different from all the other thigh high boots I've seen so far.

WetCat has some great poses in Poser Pavilion.

The first one is called Fireflies and it's a gorgeous couples pose. I forced Valentine to pose with me because I'm a demanding and mean friend! LOL



The candles are part of the pose and if you're not Valentine with a ton of product in your hair you should be fine. Valentine however I feel is a bit of a fire risk...

They also have the Swinging Lights pose prop. It's a lovely prop that comes with singles or couples poses. I decided to go for a singles pose since I'd tortured Valentine enough for one day.



It's lovely and detailed and the lights look wonderful. I'm sure it'll get dragged out again for a couples pose sometime soon!

Don't forget there's always lots more on offer that I don't show, so go and have a peak!

The Seasons Story - Winter

I saw quite a few previews for The Seasons Story on other people's Flickrs and Plurks. There were some cute things that had caught my attention but I couldn't get the near the sim.

I finally did yesterday and it was an incredibly difficult experience.

I'm not sure what's happening there, I think the sim might be a little bit broken. =/

I kept getting ejected by a script counter for having a high script count when I wasn't wearing anything. I stripped right down to system underwear, no huds, no attachments and it still kept yelling at me I was high on scripts and kicking me out. It wasn't even at a regular interval... it seemed utterly at random.

However after what felt like a billion relogs and fighting my way back to the sim after being repeatedly ejected I did manage to grab a couple of things I had my eye on.



I love a sweater dress and this one from Tulip is lovely. It sits and moves well too. Sometimes sweater dresses can be a little dumpy looking, but this one is wonderful. I really like that the arms are a different colour too.

The cat tights are from Izzie's and were too cute not to wear with this. They even have cute tails on the back of the legs and come with SLink appliers.

Baiastice also has a pretty offering at The Seasons Story Winter round.



Never can resist a bit of sparkle and this glittery black skirt is too cute to pass up. If glitter isn't your thing then there are also colours available in a leather style too but everyone loves glitter right?

The cardigan can be worn with or without the shirt underneath and it comes with a colour change hud to change the shirt too.

There's lots of colours available in both the cardigan and the skirt so you can mix and match.

I also couldn't resist the Board Marquee from Floorplan. I'm going to be seduced by anything that says Hello Gorgeous! lol

It can be changed to say several different ego boosting things such as Lovely and Beautiful or even Handsome.

I hope you have a bit better luck at The Seasons Story than I did. There is loads more on offer so go and have a peek!

Collabor88 - January 2014 - Part 2

So we're back for part 2 of the Collabor88 January round.

I may have a shopping problem...

Anyway, onto the goodies!

Tres Blah had the most adorable skirts, shirts and ties available at Collabor88 this month. We decided we looked a little bit like school girls in these outfits and clearly naughty ones who go and lie in black rooms instead of going to class!



The tie comes separately so you can wear it with or without it. Always good to have options!

The skirts are short and poofy. You can never go wrong with a poofy skirt, it's the ultimate in girly.

The Secret store also brought us an adorable shirt, but with a different feel.



It comes with the cute little neck bow and in a tucked or untucked version. The Secret Store makes a lot of the high waisted stuff I've fallen in love with and I'm so glad I have more tucked shirts to be able to wear with them.

Cat said she felt like a school teacher in this one.... so we've gone from school girls to school teachers in a flash!

Not be outdone with the poofy skirts, Milk Motion managed to sneak one into this round too!

I really adore the lacy part down the front and back of the sweater with this big lace skirt. It's a truly adorable outfit and I don't really want to take it off.



The folds in the sweater are incredibly detailed. I love how much thought has gone into how the sweater would fall. Gorgeous piece that is a very welcome addition to my inventory.

Tee*fy always have a great addition to Collabor88 and this month is this beautiful floaty dress. I personally found the two tone dresses gorgeous and it seems Cat has a similar taste in colours to me!



There's also a big bow at the back of the dress that is wonderful and detailed. I recommend you definitely try the demo for this one.

I teamed it with the Knotted Shimmer Pearls from Maxi Gossamer at Collabor88, but these are version 2. Nice to have a choice of different versions. Also all colour change.

Well that's all for my Collabor88 stuff. I know it was a lot, thanks for sticking with me! lol

And remember... only 4 more sleeps until Friday!

Collabor88 - January 2014 - Part 1

Hello!

How's 2014 treating you so far? We're a good 11 days in now and mine hasn't been too bad.

Collabor88 started their 2014 with an immense bang! So much amazing stuff to show you that I've had to split this into two posts! (there's a first for everything)

So here's the first part... and even this is a fairly chunky post!

Maitreya have a gorgeous two layer dress on offer. It comes in lots of pale and vintage colours and then this gorgeous, gothic black.



I had to go for the black.

it comes in two parts, so you can wear it with or without the lace overlay. It also means if you get more than one colour you could mix and match for a bit of variation.

The collar and pearl necklace are sold separately but of course are the perfect accompaniment to the dress.

I'm so glad that Maitreya is now part of Collabor88

Next up we have another gorgeous gown. This one is from Color.Me House Of Fox and when I saw this I immediately fell in love.



Weirdly this not a colour I would normally go for, but it just called out to me and I found myself buying it. I'm glad I did. It's a truly beautiful dress and I feel like a movie star in it.

The jewellery is from Maxi Gossamer and is also available at Collabor88. As always it comes with colour change gems to match to your outfit. I went for the chocolate with this outfit and it was a beautiful match.

This sweater from Deadwool is adorable with it's little lacy shoulders.



I also like that you can wear the sweater with or without the shirt piece underneath. It's always great when creators give you options.

I went for the soft laurel green. Very pretty and super girly.

Boom have brought us a beautiful soft lacy dress. Again not a colour I'd normally go for but it's just so pretty that I couldn't resist.



Honestly I do enjoy it when creators tempt me into buying colours or styles I wouldn't normally consider. It says something about the work that goes into the pieces I think.

ISON always have a great offering at Collabor88 and this month was no exception.



The lace front detail on this dress is beautiful. It was what drew my eye into this dress almost immediately. I went for a slightly different than usual purple colour and I like that it's not an in your face purple, but a much more muted one.

The beads are another Maxi Gossamer offering and they come in two different styles. This is style 1 and they are also colour change.

And last, but my no means least, is a dress and clutch purse from Baiastice.



As we know anything teal, green, aqua gets my attention so this teal dress had to be mine.

It's gorgeous and slinky without being too short. The lace flower decoration is intricate and I love the detail and work that has gone into it.

It's a detail that is repeated on the clutch purse. Perfect with any outfit, not just this dress.

The background of these pictures also has come creations from Collabor88. It's the Crawford set from Lark. I was taken with it as soon as I saw it. The pieces are sold separately and are 88L each, which I personally think is a bargain for top quality mesh furniture.

Lots more on offer and I'll show a little bit more in my part 2 of this month's Collabor88.

Until then, happy shopping!

It's All New At LeLutka

Always been a fan of LeLutka but honestly I've always struggled with it.

They release these gorgeous hairs and I get all excited about them, I try and demo and my heart sinks because they just don't suit my face.

I'd seen this hair all over Flickr. I had jealous face! lol

So I decided to go and try the demo instead of putting it off like I usually did. I'm so glad I did. Finally a LeLutka hair that looks nice on me!

*Happy dances*



This one is called New. I love how big it is and the curls at the bottom. They do wonderful reds too. I went for the Irish Red. Beautiful colour.

They also have a variant on this called Neu.



Just a little bit different. It's almost like you tucked back part of the hair...

...but this one comes with the added bonus that if you are the kind of girl who can pull off the shaved head look (I can't... I really can't) then this hair comes in two parts and you choose not to wear the side close to the hair and wear a hair base to achieve just that look.

I've seen some pictures on Flickr with people wearing it and they look great. That also made me jealous face.

Anyway... I hope you like and I hope LeLutka release more hairs that suit me!

Dressing Warm At The Dressing Room

It's still frosty out there and while we are heading in the right direction for those warmer spring days we still need to bundle up nice and warm in the meantime.

Boom has given us a lovely warm looking jacket combo that will keep you cozy. It's available at The Dressing Room fusion in three lovely colours.








































I went for the grey and teamed it with the cute heart tights from Izzie's, also available at The Dressing Room Fusion.

As always there's lots more available so go take a peek!

I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far :)

FaMESHed - January

It's a new year and a new round of FaMESHed!

Always lots of goodies and I've grabbed a few to show you.

First up we have a sweater/shirt combo and a pleated skirt from Cracked Mirror.



I love the spots on the shirt. It's cute and makes it a bit different to other sweater/shirt combos that I already have.

The skirt is lovely and the pleats look real and move well. A recommended inventory basic for all your ladies out there.

The hair is from Wasabi pills and comes with the adorable bow that is colour change.

Really loving this outfit in general, I think I'll be wearing it for a while.

We also have a combo from Baiatice that is gorgeous.



The top and the skirt are actually separate parts, but when worn together look like a dress. It's great for those who love a dress but also love to mix it up. You can create colour combos to your hearts content with this one. Have fun with it!

I'm a bit of a coordinator so I decided to go with the Amber in both the top and skirt. The rich colour is really eye catching.

The jewellery set is also from Baiastice and comes in Gold, Silver or Copper.

There's lots more to see, so pop down to FaMESHed and have a look around.

Hope your 2014 is starting out great!

Goodbye 2013

A new year and a chance for that year to be the best year so far.

I just wanted to reflect a little on my 2013...



My 2013 started on the Cheeky Pea sim. The New Years Eve party that Isla threw is still a fond memory.

I was all dressed up in my new dress, my new shoes and my new hair. I'd been dancing the night away with some delightful people, some not so delightful, but all in all was a pleasurable night.

2013 would bring about a series of changes that not even I could have predicted.

I decided that I would give the 'blogging thing' a go. Little did I know I'd end up finding something that would bring me a welcome distraction and a strange inner peace during my not so easy parts of the past year. I hope it continues to do so.

It started dreary, as January often does. Christmas had been difficult, I'd lost my Grandfather, I was in a lot of physical pain too. However the dreary never really let up. Every time I found a break from it I realised that I was keeping a poison in my life that would never truly let me heal. It would continue to hold me back and keep me down.

It wasn't until the poison had taken everything it could from me and it finally left that I realised... hey, I deserve better!

And I did deserve better. I'd wasted the first six months, and many years before it, of my 2013 fighting this poison... so the last six needed to be good!

And good they were.

I went to pixel prom and had an amazing night! It was the night that was the start of my new beginning.

I reconnected with lost friends, I made new ones, I discovered friends in people who'd always been there but I'd been afraid to connect with and I spent time with the oldest and dearest ones that had been there through the bad times.

I explored, I wasn't afraid to talk to people any more. I didn't have a reason to hold back or have to make excuses for other people's bad behaviour... I could be myself.

Myself is quite fun! LOL

I met glorious people. Fun, exciting, friendly people who embraced me for everything I am with no exceptions. I found my light... that one person who dragged me through all the crap and got me out the other side, dusted me off and told me that I mattered.

My real life changed too.

I got a new job, I looked for a new place to live... I changed everything. Maybe all a little bit too fast.
I've hit a little bump... a bump I know before would have sent me plummeting down into my little pit of sadness. I've made something worse, my pain levels have increased.

But this time I have my light, I have my special people, I have everything I need to keep my head above water for the most part. I have the occasional sink... but they're right there to pull me back up.

I don't know what I'd do without them.

2013 was a rough year. It started bad, it got worse and then it blossomed into this wonderful experience that has made me happier than I've been in years.

So this is to them. My special people! (You know who you are!) Here's to 2014 and the next 12 months of continued happiness.
