London Lights

Today's post brings together items from Season's Story and We Love Roleplay plus a new mainstore release.

My dress and bolero set are a new mainstore release from Just Because.  Stupidly, I forgot to show you the dress without the bolero, but when you demo it, try it both ways and you will see how versatile it is.  Of course, it goes without saying (but I'm going to anyway!) that the mesh fits my Lara absolutely like a dream, and the textures are just perfect.  I love the way the asymmetrical pulled hem and string give the dress a really unusual outline.  Thankfully the dress comes with intrinsic panties to spare our blushes, and you can change them, the string and the buttons via hud. 

My hair from KoKoLoReS comes with two options - the plain hair above and the one shown below, with autumnal leaves.  The lovely Sisch FIrecaster is creating up a storm at the moment with lots of great new styles for various events, and I am sure I will be sharing more very soon.  My lip and eye make-up are just two of the many items La Boheme has available for just 50L at We Love to Roleplay.  These prices are only for the duration of the event.

#529 Dreaming

Today I bring you brand new items from The Arcade, FaMESHed and Cosmopolitan.

I am always excited when Freya Olivieri releases something new because her items are always breathtakingly gorgeous - and this new set for The Arcade is no different.  My top, shorts, sleep mask and wonderfully girly clutter plus more are available to play for.  From FaMESHed I am wearing one of Exile's two "do's".  This relaxed kinda up, kinda down, kinda wispy "do", is right up my street, perfect for swinging on my hanging bed under the sl stars.

Below is the shopping guide so you can see more of the goodies you can play for from Mon Cheri at The Arcade.  The player reward is absolutely gorgeous too!  Please note that the clothing in this gacha is only for mesh bodies.

#527 The $100L Challenge

And now for something completely different!  One of the YouTube channels I love to watch is Alicia Chenaux's, and in her latest vlog she issues a challenge to put together an outfit, including clothing, hair, accessory and shoes, for just 100L!  If you haven't already seen it, watch Alicia's video here - and give the challenge a go yourself!  If you do, please share your link in my comments so I don't miss it.

I love this kind of challenge but I couldn't go to two of the places I would have normally headed for right away - Hilly Haalan and Pure Poison, as Alicia used them in her video, so I wanted to find somewhere different.

  

After a while searching mp with no luck, I suddenly remembered a store I loved in my pre-mesh days and I was happy to see Sharodie still does gorgeous flexi gowns but now with omega appliers - and she also does mesh dresses.   To say her items are reasonably priced is an understatement and a half - and that is why I am giving you 2 mesh dresses with texture change huds, plus bracelet, hair and 2 pairs of shoes for the grand sum of $99L!

The two dresses I am showing cost 35L each and come with texture change huds but other items from Sharodie usually cost around the 25L mark but are often less. 

I went to the SL Frees & Offers group for both my hair and shoes, and already knew where to find the goodies.  My hair is the current gift for SL Frees & Offers group members from Alice Project - you get the hair plus a basics hud with a variety of naturals and colours.  Both pairs of shoes are from Livalle, again for SL Frees & Offers members.  My accessory is a bracelet from Golden Fleece who used to have a store inworld but I was thrilled to find them on mp, and this texture change bracelet costs just 29L. 

On a final note, the sofa, tables and pots I am showing are part of the Mauricette set by Serenity Style for SaNaRae.

#526 Chic

I am somewhat late with this post as I had an unexpected hospital trip for an exploratory procedure, and it always takes me a while to get over general anaesthetic. I am not complaining however - as a chronic insomniac, someone sending me to sleep so easily is something I actually enjoy - yup, total weirdo.   I have to wait around 10 days for biopsy results but am hopeful it won't be anything sinister.

Anyway, onto the good stuff - I am always thrilled when Annie Melson of Just Because releases a new gown because they are always stunningly beautiful and so classy.  Isabelle ticks all those boxes and then some.  She is a wonder to behold, creating curves a vintage screen siren would be jealous of.  You can either wear the gown alone or add the optional pearls - and if the gown itself isn't stunning enough, the pearls really turns it up a notch, and you can even change the colour with the included hud.  

l realised I hadn't done this gown justice without showing the back view, so here is a quickie pic - the pearls not only add something special to the front neckline, they also do something spectacular with your back view!  Annie has woven these pearls so beautifully round the straps, and the draping is so realistic.  Annie has really outdone herself on this creation!

#525 Marbelized

Today's post brings together a beautiful and brand new mainstore release from DE Designs, a fantabulous Fifty Linden Friday (still available as I publish this post, but don't delay grabbing it!) fatpack of heels from Reign, plus goodies from DeeTaleZ, Truth, Meva and more.

 I love all Doc Eldritch creations, but I absolutely love love love love this one!  This brand new cami is absolute perfection on my Maitreya Lara, is beautifully crafted and the textures are simply gorgeous.  It comes in an extensive range of colours which made it very hard for this Libran to choose which to wear today!  It comes in standard sizing and is also compatible with just about every mesh body you could want - including TMP. 

I have teamed my cami with my favourite pair of white pants from Neve (previously Cold Logic), which come with with a texture change hud and a boot helper which make them wearable with just about any length of heel without poke through.

As for my heels from Reign, they cost just 50L for a fatpack including 2 massive (in scope, not size!) texture change huds.  They are for Fifty Linden Friday and yep, the whole bundle for 50L!

#507 Another page in my legacy

I have always loved boho inspired clothing so when I saw this set from Addams at Uber, I had to grab it.  The skirt, top and jacket are sold separately in a wide range of colours and textures.  I've teamed it with a previous release from Cae, with it's bold earrings and perfect length drop pendant.  You can still get my bracelet from Izzies at the Pulse fundraiser, but will have to be quick as it finishes tomorrow, the 12th.

#506 Green

Today I bring you new goodies from the Pulse fundraiser, Uber and FaMESHed.  I am very happy to share with you Annie Melson's latest creation, currently available at Uber - the gorgeous Mirage gown.  This mesh is simply stunning, fitting every curve of my Maitreya Lara like a glove.  It comes in an array of gorgeous colours, and very happily I can tell you it comes with intrinsic undies which you can colour coordinate with your dress - and you can also change the bead colour on the straps.  

My jewelry is another gorgeous offering from Caelan Hancroft of Cae - the necklace and earrings are from the Mila set, now available at FaMESHed.  The full set includes a choker which I have not worn here, and comes with a hud allowng multiple wear options, plus gem and metal choices. I am also wearing one of Cae's earlier creations, the mantra bracelet - I featured the Peace bracelet with a close up here, and am wearing the Love one in this post.  These bracelets are now one of my most loved jewelery pieces and at some point I am sure Strength and Life will appear on this blog.

My nails from Alaskametro are from Pulse and I have added a pop of colour to my outfit using one of the "mix it" options.  This pack has loads of options, is really good value, and best of all, 100% of the sale price is going straight to the Pulse fundraiser.
