#376 Return of the Fawn

I am sharing again the gorgeous PXL skin from this month's We Love Roleplay, which I showed here without the branch tattoos.  I love everything about this skin, it is so fresh and pure and I adore the little branch tattoo - all the better as a tattoo layer so you can wear the skin with or without. Shara comes in two tones with 3 make-ups each, plus other goodies like freckle and cleavage tattoos.

Serendipitously, I received a notice from Indyra about this outfit which comes with the fawn antler head-dress and thought it would work well with the skin.  Both dress and headpiece come with texture change huds giving 5 matching options each, all of them very pretty.  Although it only comes in standard sizes, there were no issues at all wearing the Indyra maxi with my SLink Physique.

My unusual turquoise palette foot jewels from Sky were hiding under my dress so I dragged them out for a pic - they come with a texture change hud giving you three texture choices.

#341 Silver Unleashed at the RAFF

Today's post again is heavily influenced by Rock Attitude Fashion Fair 2 - in fact it was the silver dress that started it, everything else sort of tagged along.   I don't think it is an outfit I would pop out to get a pint of milk in, but I had fun playing with it. 

My base the gorgeous Charlize from WOW, but I have really changed her with the use of some amazing make-up layers from Senzafine that initially appeared at Skin Fair, but which I didn't feature in time due to an administrative cock-up (mine!).   Both the eyeliner and lips come in some great packs to mix and match, and though they are bold, it's not in an "in your face" kind of way.  On your face obviously, but not in your face.  And those last two sentences are probably proof of why I shouldn't edit blog posts at 4 am.

This is the first appearance of my Mandala ears but I lurve them totally and am sure they will feature heavily from now on.  I said I would never wear a mesh body, look at me now, addicted.  Mesh ears?  Blergh, no way.  Like eating your words don't you, little Zsa?

I haven't worn any of Aze Jewelery's incredible pieces for a while and this one really seemed to  fit the bill for my silver ensemble.  Amilia's work is so intricate, she creates some absolutely breathtaking pieces, and I am always stunned by her creativity and attention to detail.n

#288 Run from the wind

I don't do enough fantasy type blog posts, which is a shame as I really enjoy putting them together.  Maybe its because I don't do rp.  Anyway, when I saw this [ SAKIDE ] outfit (which also comes in black, white and ivory) for The Fantasy Collective I immediately started thinking about what I could do with it.  



This is definitely one of the hairstyles I return to again and again, one of my Top Ten without a doubt.  And this set of poses from KaTink is also one of my real "go to" packs.

#264 The Boy Next door

Today's outfit is another great bargain from LivGlam - there are two different palettes to choose from for this outfit, and each gives 3 different texture combinations.  The one I am showing is under their Chic La Mode label, with items being 99L or less.

My necklace is from AZE , who makes the most incredibly complex and detailed items of jewellery I have ever seen in sl.  This is their donation item for A Clockwork Spiral which benefits The National Kidney Foundation.  The event runs till october 1st.

My shoes are from a new-to-me store called Glamistry, and can be found at this month's My Attic at The Deck, for just 95L a pair.  They come with a great hud system, and each colour you buy goes straight in the hud so you can mix and match the different parts of the shoe, using whatever colours you have purchased.

#255 Marguerite meets burlesque

Today I am showing you something available exclusively by adoness at District 5.  It consists of a body suit in a beautifully rich dark ruby colour with a gothic design and silver studs, along with a crinoline in black with the same ruby colour highlights.

I wanted something a bit different hair-wise and found this in my inventory - Lana comes with both straight and the asymmetrical fringe I am wearing here.  I used the Infinity hud to find the colour I wanted.  My skin is one of the Belleza new releases exclusive for the Black Fashion Fair.(which is on till the 22nd).  These skins are quite different to any I have seen from Belleza before and I really love that they are mixing it up.

As luck would have it, *~*HopScotch*~* have released a pair of add-ons for SLink medium feet for the opening round of My Slink Obsession (which also ends on the 22nd).   They are rigged, beautifully made, and I thought they went perfectly with Adoness's Marguerite.  They are 40% off during MSO and will then be at the *~*HopScotch*~* main store for full price.

Forest Treasures

Considering that I always say that green is my least favourite colour, this post is a bit unexpected, but I built it around this fabulous necklace from Aze Jewellery for the current round of Genre.  Amilia Zabeleta does some of the most intricate, unique creations I have seen in sl - this necklace is breathtakingly beautiful, the metal tendril is worked exquisitely, and is adorned with treasures Amilia has found on the forest floor - ladybugs, little toadstools, a snail, and little flowers.  

My eyes are by Adoness for The Thrift shop, 50% off at just 40L per pair - I am just wearing the basic eyes, but also included in the pack for each colour are a full bright and a glow version, as well as system eyes and an alpha.

Newness for The Kollective and Gothmas by Gaslight

“Are ye the ghosts of fallen leaves, O flakes of snow, For which, through naked trees, the winds A-mourning go?” ― John B. Tabb

This stunning gown is available at the new round of The Kollective.  I like the way the textures are mixed on most of the dresses, and I really love the back cut-out.  You get all 12 textures on the hud, which is great value, and fun for someone like me who loves playing with huds :).

The gorgeous necklace and earrings I am wearing is by AZE for Gothmas by Gaslight which is on until January 5th.  The photos really can't do them justice, however, as they are filled with magically swirling snowflakes - clean snow in the silver and gold, dirty in the copper and gunmental!  I have added a really pretty ring by Cae.

Belleza BBB & Magical Lanterns

“Every day cannot be a feast of lanterns”

 Chinese Proverb

Today I am showing the Belleza Best Buys (BBB) which are available at a special price this weekend only, after which they will revert to the normal price.  Available in 4 tones, these Ashley skins come in 3 subtle make-up choices (click to enlarge the pic), and within each pack there are three brow bases, cleavage tattoo layers, and hairbases.

I have been waiting for a while for the opportunity to showcase this fabulous jewellery set from AZE Designs. The attention to detail is simply incredible - so much so I can't do it justice with words, I just hope my photos go some way towards demonstrating how beautiful this collection really is.  There are also bracelets available in this design.

Impedimenta

“Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use".

Charles M. Schulz

This stunning jewelry is from Aze Jewelry Designs for October's Steampunk themed round of Genre. These pieces come in a choice of steel, brass or copper and are 100% original unrigged mesh using original textures.  

Each set (earrings and necklace in your choice of metal) is only L$100 during the course of the event.  Amazing value for some truly beautiful and original jewelry.

Introducing AmyLee, bats, skulls and crystals

“For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all" - Aristotle 

Today I have some more Horrorfest goodies to share, some Acid Lily, and generally lots of lovely new scrumptiousness.
.  

What I particularly like about this ensemble is that from a distance it looks like an elegant outfit for a gentile night on the town. It is only when you get a bit closer that you start to notice that things are not quite what they seemed at first. 

The gown is new at Sn@tch, and as always, well made and fabulous value.  You get 8 colours in the pack, after you have demo'd it and decided what size you want.  Best of all, it is covered in bats!    I love bats, so  finding this gown caused a big smile to spread across my little pixel face.

The jewelry set I am wearing is from Horrorfest and is a real "statement piece" from a new-to-me designer, AZE.  I love that when you look a bit closer you see the detailing which makes this set very different.  The bracelet set (2 bracelets) is priced at L$200, with 100% of that going to the Horrorfest charity,The Epilepsy Therapy Project.  The earrings are $150 and the necklace $L250.  

The ring is from the current round of Acid Lily, and is available in gold, copper, black onyx and silver.  I tried to get as close as possible to show the fantastic design, it is called "Crystalline" and lives up to the name, with it's fabulous quartz-like design.  The packs include versions for both standard hands and SLinks, which I am wearing here. You also get both single and linked rings, which I am showing, and they have been fitted for middle and ring fingers.   The designer has certainly thought of everything.

And finally, the skin I am wearing is a new release from WOW.  I have no idea why it has taken me so long to try WOW skins.  As soon as I tried AmyLee on I felt very comfortable, which is unusual for me as I have really struggled with finding new skins that feel "right" on me. This skin manages to be fresh faced and pretty, yet not too young looking. The pack includes 5 make-ups including bare, a shape (though I am wearing my own here), and two tattoos - freckles and more freckles.
