Alone

Alone

My mood in real life has been pretty dark recently, just real life stuff I won't bore you with.  Anyway, although I am one of the rare breed who is not a Halloween fan, when I saw this set from Reina Photography it fit my mood so well that I thought I would build this post round it.

Not that it is only good for Halloween, this set would work anytime you wanted something a bit dark.  It comes with everything you see, including Pose, and also a sky Backdrop which I didn't use.

However, even better is that this set, plus 10 other quality treats, are available absolutely free at the Reina Photography Trick or Treat event!  I have seen the sim, it looks amazing, and the prizes are totally worth winning.  Take a look at them all on the blog post Trick or Treat.

Spikes

Oh my goodness, this hair from Cruella Pennell of Adoness is just perfection. Although I gravitate towards vintage, classy, formal, casual, preppy styling, I do have quite a strong inner goth/punk (it's an age thing I think), so whenever Cruella comes up with something new it always inspires and challenges me, which I love.  She has really outdone herself with this one, the spikiness is so well done, and having the actual hair as a base rather than a shaved base really adds another dimension.

Don't take my T-Bird away

Although I have to admit to getting a bit event-sick at times, one of the positives is finding new designers who I might otherwise not have come across. The new designer in this post is LX, with their original mesh top and bolero, currently available at the Boho Culture Fair.  Each pack contains both bolero and top in two shades, so you can mix and match.  The mesh is beautifully made and the textures stand up to close examination.  I really look forward to more from this designer.

My car prop is by Nantra - the T-Bird is texture change and is loaded with great animations;

# 507 The promised kiss of summertime

Today's post brings together goodies from Crossroads, The Pulse Fundraiser, Cosmopolitan, and two different designers for Gacha Guardians.  I am wearing my Maitreya Lara mesh body with Catwa Jessica mesh head, using a Pink Fuel applier.

I am thrilled that Doc Eldritch of DE Designs has released a new version of one of my favourite tops, the Lori, this time with some seriously pretty floral prints.  As always with Doc's stuff it fits like a dream on my Maitreya Lara.  It can be bought singly or in a hud controlled fatpack.

My jewellery is from Cae for the new round of Gacha Guardians - you pick up a free bracelet from the Cae mainstore then play the gacha for the charms.  If you play 10 times you aer entitled to the exclusive Summer necklace and earrings with a texture change hud.  In case this event is new to anyone, I have linked the Gacha Guardians "how to play" page in the credits.

My eyes from Avi-Glam are brand new for the current round of Cosmopolitan - they are quite different to the previous releases but they are absolutely stunning.  Avi-Glam are basically the only eyes I ever wear now, they are so beautiful and also fanstastic value,

My shoes from Essenz are another Guardians prize from Gacha Guardians - I am wearing the exclusive hud controlled fat pack which is the prize after 10 pulls.
