Birds, Melons, and Umbrellas

So if you live on this side of the globe it’s Spring and soon to be Summer and I thought I should dress to match the season and also the weather.  Now that all the cold weather is gone the birds are out and driving me crazy every morning, so much so that I’ve decided to try and become one of them. With my sneaky bird mask I think I’ll blend right in with them. It’s also been raining a lot lately so I thought I should bring out my trusty umbrella in an effort to keep dry. After jumping in a bunch of puddles I seem to have worked up an appetite, and what better thing to eat than some watermelons. Sadly there were none to eat but atleast I was able to wear some instead. Now, like always lets go into the details so you can have as much fun as I did with these outfits.
[Yulicie] - Vienna Afternoon Outfit – This includes the shirt, skirt, and even the belt which all look great together. I really like the red and white stripes on the skirt and because it’s mesh it has some nicely done folds in it. The shirt has optional shoulder spikes you can wear to match the spikes on your belt.

>TRUTH< - Tashia Hair – Recently this shop had a big hair sale where I managed to grab 4 different packs of hair, this being one of them and also the one I’m wearing in the watermelon outfit. I’m sure I’ll wear the other 2 in the next post I make sometime. The reason I chose to wear this one is because not only is it a good looking hairstyle but it wraps around the mask perfectly which allows me to show it off more.

*~*Illusions*~* - Sparrow Mask – Another mask I got from the Fantasy Faire but since the faire is over you can now buy it at the shop’s main location. In something that may seem simple like a mask there is a ton of detail done in this one that really makes you seem like a bird.

DECO - Donna Shoes – I’ve worn these shoes a couple times before if you have paid attention to this blog. I just had to wear them again though because of how well they are made and how they seemed to match the red and white striped skirt and also the red and white shirt greatly.

Auxiliary - Love Pale Bunny Skin – I know it’s sort of funny to think about but under the mask I actually look like a bunny. It’s like I’m a bunny trying to blend in amongst the birds. This skin is very well done though and even with only the body and mouth showing it still looks amazing. I think I’ll wear this skin again in a future post so I can show off the bunny side of it since that bit is covered with the mask.

Schadenfreude, Auxiliary, [ContraptioN], DECO, and Intrigue Co. @ Collabor88 - Schadenfreude Into the Woods Dress/Parasol/Cloud Leggings, Auxiliary Melt My Heart Ring, [ContraptioN] Meltdown Shades, DECO Trench Boots, and Intrigue Co. Rainy Days Jewelry – This round of Collabor88 just has so many amazing things out that I just had to compile a ton of them into one outfit. Schadenfreude has made this beautiful lacey dress and parasol for the event and also some leggings that I’m wearing but you can’t really see them well. The parasol actually has a few different ways to hold it like one or two handed, and I’m glad it had this pose in it because I was able to show off my new ring. Speaking of the ring, it’s one of the things Auxiliary has come out with and it’s a little melting heart. I had too much trouble deciding on just one color so I ended up buying the whole pack of them. Of course the light blue is the one I chose to wear with this outfit and it’s just the right shade to match everything. I knew I should have worn some waterproof shades because now mine seem to be melting in the rain! These shades are brand new from [ContraptioN] and are just as unique as the other things they have made in the past. To me the glasses seem like they were made of sugar or something and now because of the rain are melting down my face. I just really love the look of them but of course how I see them may differ on how you do. Yes another pair of DECO footwear has made it into my inventory and what a great pair to have. I didn’t really want to wear heels with this dress because that just seems like the normal thing to do and this isn’t a normal outfit. Luckily I was able to get these boots that look perfect for jumping into puddles and for protecting my leggings from mud. My outfit seemed almost complete but the Intrigue Co. rainy days jewelry really helped pull things together. You can’t really see since my hand is covering it but there is a necklace and earrings in the set, both with little umbrellas and rain clouds on them. The jewelry just looks so adorable and I was really happy that it also came in light blue like the rest of the outfit.

Pink Fuel - Alena Azure Skin – I remember this skin being special for some event 2 or 3 months ago so it’s most likely not available anymore, but I could be wrong so you’d just have to check out the shop. I really need to expand the range of skins I wear but with all the different makeups and kinds of skins this place comes out with it’s very difficult.

Burley - Vanessa Hair – For all of you guys/girls that love the hair at Burley all of their hair’s prices have been cut to 100-200L. This only includes the stuff at Burley not Taketomi so hopefully you don’t get confused. Either way it’s great news for me because I was able to get this new updo for cheap, and it really looks great with its super cute bangs.

>TRUTH< - Velvet Hair – Another one of the 4 packs that I grabbed from the hair sale. It’s a really cute style plus the little bows are color changeable with a HUD that comes with the hair. I was going for something nerdy and fun with this outfit and so this hair worked very nicely in helping me pull that off.

Pink Fuel - Von D Skin – I actually won this skin from a gacha machine the shop had at The Arcade but I think now the machine has moved back to the main shop. You can’t really buy this skin normally, you just have to try your luck for it. Don’t worry, even if you don’t get it right away there’s 6 other amazing skins you can win too. This skin is of course based off the lovely Kat Von D with the signature tattoo on the side of her face.

Schadenfreude - Cygnette Shoes – I really should buy these shoes in more colors, but luckily I had them in bright green to match with my watermelon dress. The bow colors are changed with a neat little HUD and if you buy the shoes in packs the different parts of the shoes are changed in the same way. What I like most about these shoes is that they’re elegant but can also be clunky in a nerdy girl sort of way which is just perfect for me.

[No Homu] - 8bit Nerdies Shades – Hurray another pair of glasses made by my awesome friend Rim! Most of the stuff he makes now like these glasses are super customizable because they include ao bake maps. This allows you to either color things in world or edit textures in photoshop/gimp. I recolored mine in watermelon colors as you can see in the pictures.

[Yulicie] - Breeze Shiver Outfit – Yes 2 wonderful mesh outfits from this shop in one post. I really like this outfit though because of the bright colors like the green sweater. The dress is pretty adorable too with all the little watermelons covering it. If you really want to go for that nerdy girl in the spring/summer look this is definitely something that would fit.

Fantasy Faire 2013 Part 2

So like I promised here’s part 2 of all the things I collected from the faire and I don’t think I’ll be doing a part 3. The reason I’m only going to do a part 2 is because I don’t think I have enough stuff for a third post but the things I do have left over you’ll definitely see sprinkled in future posts. There are about 3 days left of the faire so if there’s something you’ve had your eye on you better grab it quick because not all shops plan to sell their exclusives after the faire is over. Just like before I’m only going to list items from the faire and if you really want to know what other things are from just look me up on flickr because I still tag things and submit them to photo groups. Alright now lets get started before I waste any more time rambling away here.
[ContraptioN] @ Fantasy Faire - The Silent Mask and The Silent Cult Cloak – This really is one of my favorite shops for oddities. Whether it’s masks, clothes, glasses or smiles they all are beautifully made and I wear them very frequently. The mask and cloak are both RFL donation items and are sold separately but look best when they are combined. I’m not sure what it is but something about this mask makes me feel like an owl woman. It’s just so unique and fun to wear while I’m running around in my cloak.

The Plastik @ Fantasy Faire - The Arkasia Skins Lave – You can’t see all of the details of the skin in these pics, but trust me it really looks great and with the makeup on the lips and the pale skin tone it worked well with the mask making it almost seem like it was part of the face.

lassitude & ennui @ Fantasy Faire - Flutter Boots – I don’t think this shop has a single pair of shoes that I don’t like. These aren’t new or anything, just like the Selene boots weren’t really new but I think you can still pick them up from their stall so I’m counting them anyways haha. I wish more shoe shops were like this one, selling well detailed shoes for reasonable prices instead of charging over a thousand lindens for one pair.

De La Soul @ Fantasy Faire - Ceredil Candace Chameleon and Ceredil Kno’hr Horns and Mouth – Now I know I already showed off one of these skin sets before but I just had to do another post with it because now there are horns and a mouth tattoo you can wear with it! They’re color changeable with a HUD that is included so you can match them with any of the other Ceredil sets. Also don’t worry they work for the male versions too. You can also see I have a different pair of ears this time which is found in the skin set.

{Lemon Tea} @ Fantasy Faire - Drakodaimonen Tail – Instead of a fairy like last time, I thought this time I’d like to be more of a dragon lady and what better way to do that then wear this new tail. Aside from being able to choose from a wide range of colors with the HUD that comes with it, the tail actually swings from side to side! There are far too many tails that are just static and are unrealistic so it was great to find one that actually moves like a tail should.

FATEwear @ Fantasy Faire - Rochon Outfit – I’m glad I was able to complete my all blue look with this lovely medieval like dress. It has nice little frills at the bottom and looks like it’s tied up at the front with ribbon. The dress even lets me show off my SLink feet some more because of how it parts slightly half way down.

The Plastik @ Fantasy Faire - Vandariel Armor, Draziira Skin/Ears, and Draziira Glow Eyes – What I love most about this combination of items is that I get to be a dark elf covered in spirals and the armor just enhances that spiralness. The skin itself looks great already and then the white spiral etchings just makes it look even better. I don’t like using normal eyes much and so I’m glad this skin set included glowing eyes. The set actually includes a ton of things but I chose to just wear the ears, eyes, skin, and tattoo enhancements for the skin. The armor’s flap changes color in case you don’t like the white and also parts like the gems also change color.

Wasabi Pills @ Fantasy Faire - Erika Mesh Hair – I really like this new hair and the crystal colors are one of the shop’s RFL donation items but I decided to go with the blondes instead since it seemed to work better with what I’m wearing. It’s a very nice long mesh hair but you can’t expect any less from a hair shop like this. I love how a piece of the hair droops down in front and is tucked behind the ear while the rest hangs down in the back.

{Lemon Tea} @ Fantasy Faire – Filum Horns – I felt like this outfit needed something a little extra so I decided to wear these metal horns, and what’s so great about these horns is that the horns have multiple metal colors to choose from or you could get the special glass version that is also available.

Fantasy Faire 2013 Part 1

Celebrating its fifth year, Fantasy Faire 2013 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world. From Saturday April 20 to Sunday April 28, treat yourself to nine days of shopping, live music concerts, auctions, hunts and roleplaying as thousands of Second Life residents and creators bring their own visions together to support the American Cancer Society’s vision of a world without cancer. Avatars, clothing, furnishings, gadgets and exclusive items are available from more than 130 of SL’s top Fantasy Creators across ten stunning sims. This will have to be a 2 part post maybe even 3? I’m not sure yet because I just have so many things to show from this event and so little time ack! Just like last time, I’ll only list items found at the faire everything else was just items to complete the outfits. To find out more information and where to start just go here. Alright let’s get started now before I fall too behind.
Epic @ Fantasy Faire - Mesh Faery Glitter Dress and Fairy Sparkle Dream Wings – Whenever I think of a fairy I think of Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, and that’s exactly what this dress reminds of which may be why I like it so much. I choose to wear this one in pink and blue because pink and blue are my favorite colors to combine. It made me so happy that the shop also had out wings to match the dresses. Now I get to be all cute and sparkly as I fly across Second Life.
{Lemon Tea} @ Fantasy Faire – Elixir Necklace – I love the new jewelry this shop has come out with for the faire, but of course all their new stuff looks awesome which you can tell in the other outfits. I think this adorable little potion bottle necklace fits very well with the magical fairy look.
De La Soul @ Fantasy Faire – Ceredil Candace Pearl – Now I’m not wearing all the items this pack includes but there are so many options and extras it’s crazy. I’m wearing the mesh troll ears, skin, light tattoo, and yes there was even appliers for my SLink feet and toenails! Stuff not shown would be the appliers for the Slink hands/Lolas Tango Boobs/Lush Boobs, 2 other kinds of ears, 2 other tattoo shades, 4 sets of mesh eyes, and even a shape. You can definitely bet I’ll be mixing and matching and wearing this set later on because of all the great detail put into every item.
[][]Trap[][] @ Fantasy Faire – Basic Blend Horns – These may look like normal horns but they are super customizable with the neat little HUD that comes with them. There are 3 parts of the horns that can change colors and you can change each one just by clicking a color on the HUD or telling the HUD what the RGB is of the specific color you want. This is very convenient for me because it means I can match them with any outfit I wear instead of having to find some horns that might match but not guaranteed. They even come with a tattoo layer that helps you blend them into your skin making them look more realistic.
{Lemon Tea} @ Fantasy Faire – Aithein Wings – I really like how these wings aren’t like the basic kind you can find anywhere. They have a sort of blown glass look to them like they could easily break. I think it adds a really nice contrast to the outfit making me look more delicate but still tough with my horns.
[Gauze] @ Fantasy Faire – Child of Tiamat Tattoo and Apsu Hair – This hair was pretty much made to go with these horns, and it even includes a hair base to be worn specifically with the horns. If you don’t care for the horns don’t worry though because the hair still works just fine as a nice moehawk hairstyle. Now I just had to wear this tattoo because it’s just amazing and it’s something that really helps my eyes look better. It’s also tintable so it can go with any skin nicely.
[][]Trap[][] and [ni.Ju] @ Fantasy Faire – Fade Iced Skin, Demon Ram Horns, Gelf Ears Pierced, and Gelf Ear Tip Textures Mod – If you can’t tell I’m a huge fan of all the new things this shop has come out with for the faire. I listed [ni.ju] with them because the pierced version of these ears was a collaboration between the 2 shops, the ears being made by [][]Trap[][] and the piercings by [ni.Ju]. Don’t worry there’s other versions of the ears too, ones that are shorter and ones without the piercings. I added a special texture to the ears that come in a small mod pack of stripes and spirals. You might not be able to see it well from the front in the pic but you can definitely see them on the back of the ears. This might sound odd but my favorite part of this skin apart from the markings is the detail on the nose. I’m not sure why but I just really like how it makes my nose look. All together though it’s a pretty awesome fantasy skin when you’re tired of looking human all the time. Yes another set of horns in one post but these have to be my favorite by far. These horns curl perfectly around the gelf ears, and they also have a tattoo layer to blend in with your skin like the other horns plus the same kind of HUD making them just as customizable.
lassitude & ennui @ Fantasy Faire- Gothic Doll Jacket, Gothic Doll Corset Dress, and Selene Boots – Normally when you think of this shop right away you think of shoes but recently they have gotten more into clothing as well as you can see here. Cute little designs cover the jacket and corset dress, and you might not be able to see but the boots also have a similar design on them too which is why I matched them with the outfit. I think it’s really great how the jacket is also separate so I can wear it with other things as well.
Illusions @ Fantasy Faire – Lioness Mask – So with this outfit I didn’t want to go for a normal neko look, and decided since I was wearing a wild feline like skin and eyes that I’d wear this mask. It’s a very well done mask and looks like it was pulled straight out of real life. I think I will definitely have to wear it again sometime when I can find some lion-like hair to go with it.
lassitude & ennui @ Fantasy Faire – Edenion Boots – A brand new pair of boots for the faire and luckily they came in purple so I had something to match. Just like all the other shoes from this shop they’re definitely not plain and have nice design on the side of them. Sometimes shoes tend to all look the same on secondlife and it’s nice to be able to look at a pair of shoes and know exactly where they came from because they are so unique.
[ni.Ju] @ Fantasy Faire – Bottled Shard Necklace – A simple yet very adorable necklace, it’s like you chipped off piece of a crystal and put it in a bottle to have it as a small keepsake. Even though it is a simple concept it is nicely made and has a good bit of detail to it.
Ari’s Neko Retreat @ Fantasy Faire – RFL 2013 Exclusive Neko Skin and RFL 2013 Neko Eyes – I don’t think I’ve ever worn a skin like this before but it’s something nice when you want to look like a wild feline of some sort. The eyes really help you look more cat-like as well. There’s a lot more items in this set that aren’t shown like ears, tail, and whiskers but I chose to wear the mask instead and the tail didn’t really fit in with it. You can also kind of see in the picture it has purple eye shadow that works nicely with the rest of the purples in the outfit.
{Lemon Tea} @ Fantasy Faire – Touche Earrings – When you’re out in the wild you always want to make sure you have some protection so it’s a good thing I have these little swords for earrings. The earrings have a selection of colors you can choose from and you change them by using the HUD included.
*~ Dream Things ~* @ Fantasy Faire – Naomi Purple RFL 2013 Edition Outfit – A nice partial mesh outfit that definitely fits well with the wild look and even has cute little flowers on the skirt. When I look at this outfit it seems like it would be worn in a tropical area or maybe even near a jungle which is why I chose it to go with the lioness mask and neko skin.

Jesters, Lolitas, and Anime Nekos

Hey guys, so with these outfits I hope you can see my train of thought that lead me to each outfit but if it’s too crazy that’s fine. I started with the jester that had a doll like dress. Then I went a little further with the idea of a doll and became a lolita which of course is a Japanese style that resembles Victorian dolls. I finally ended up going full on anime at the end of it all even adding cute little neko bits. Now of course this is the part where I go into detail about the outfits and help you recreate them, or atleast help you find new items you’d like to wear.
*katat0nik* - Jester Dress Set, Jester Staff, and Jester Mask Makeup – I’ve had this outfit for a long while now and I don’t know why I waited so long to make a post about it. The staff and makeup are sold separately from the set because they both include colors of the other jester sets. What’s really great is how the mask makeup is FREE! I really love the colors and the style of the dress though, it’s very adorable.

Schadenfreude - Ultravox Shoes – These were at the last round of Collabor88 but should be at the main shop now or atleast soon. They’re kind of a retro like shoe while at the same time they’re very cutesy and I think that’s what made them work well with the rest of the outfit.

/wasabi pills/ - Momo Mesh Hair – This shop has always made great mesh hairs ever since mesh was introduced into sl. I managed to grab this pink colored hair when it was on sale for Fifty Linden Fridays (hopefully you were lucky like me). I really like how the large curls are intertwined with eachother making the hair have a very nice style to it.

Pink Fuel @ Adore & Abhor 5th Anniversary Event - Freckled Love Skin – Adore and Abhor is currently having an anniversary event until April 16th and Pink Fuel has created a special skin for 75L. You can only buy the skin at the event, and after the event is over you might not be able to have another chance to get it so you better act now! I know the mask is covering most of the face but I assure you it’s a very lovely skin.

elikatira - Caramel Hair – I had only gone to this shop a few times and was surprised to see that when I went their recently all the hair was 70% off! That’s right everything at elikatira is discounted and will be replaced with new items once the sale is over. I’m not quite sure when the sale will end since it’s gone past the end date. This is another hair with curls and since I was going for a lolita look I’d say it adds a nice touch to the outfit.

+RokumeikaN+ - Tote Pink Outfit – Now this is a dress you REALLY need to try a demo before buying because it only comes in one size and no that one size does not fit all. It actually fit my shape pretty well aside from my neck poking out of the choker a bit. The dress comes with the cute little hat too that’s covered in roses just like the dress. I know you might think the outfit isn’t pink but it is it’s just very subtle. All in all it has become one of my favorite lolita dresses to wear.

{mon tissu} - Montsegur Pumps Camel – Do you know how difficult it was to find shoes to match the color of this dress? I literally spent HOURS roaming shops and scouring the marketplace for the right color shoes. I have saved you the trouble though and have found the perfect shoes for this outfit. Not only are these a good match color wise but they really look nice.

Pink Fuel - Alyx Winged Skin and Lip Tint Nude Lipstick – The Skin Fair has ended but I haven’t stopped wearing the skins that came from there. This along with the other skins that were at the fair should be at the main shop or now or they will be soon. Just so you know, if you didn’t buy them at the fair they’re going to be raised up to normal price. I can’t seem to stop mixing and matching these skins and lipsticks, it’s like each pairing is a whole new skin!

Candy Mountain - dew silence eyes – I’m always happy when shops like this have nice larger eyes because most shops sell teeny tiny ones that just won’t work with the shape of my eyes. They’re not super bright either so they fit nicely with the rest of the toned down colors in the outfit.

Utilizator - Avatar 2.0 and M3 Mesh Anime Head – So if you like anime or if you just like the anime look then you should really check out this shop. the head itself has to be the best anime head I’ve seen in SL ANYWHERE if simply just for the ton of options it has and how easy it is to modify. Also don’t worry, rigged mesh hair does fit on the head all you have to do is move the head size slider in edit appearance mode. Avatar 2.0 is the best body to use with the head since it has all the same preset skin tones and it’s very well done. The shape of the body is NOT the same as the one shown here though because that shape comes from the mesh outfit I’m wearing over the body.

elikatira - Break Hair – This is another hair I picked up at the sale going on. I’m kinda glad it’s only sculpted instead of mesh because I find it easier to make sculpted hair fit properly sometimes. It’s definitely a cute style with the partial ponytail and the rest of the hair flowing down.

::: BareRose ::: - Hourglassy Sky-Hex Outfit – The clothes and boots come in 3 parts to complete this full body mesh, and what I like most about it is because it covers the whole body it fits perfectly over the Avatar 2.0 body. The Avatar 2.0 body can be hard to find outfits for sometimes because it doesn’t use clothing layers and is divided into only 8 sections that can become transparent. That problem should be solved soon though in a later update. Another thing that I really like about this outfit is how it gives these great curves to the shape. I’m not going to get into how many times I’ve been complimented on my thighs while wearing this though.

[No Homu] – Nerdime Glasses – My friend Rim made me these glasses after I asked him to since I couldn’t find any nerdy anime glasses anywhere. I’d say he did a wonderful job on them just like he does on everything else he makes. His shop isn’t super well known or anything but hey maybe this post will inspire more people to take a look.

Remarkable Oblivion - Meowjesty Headband – Bells! Yes this is not your ordinary set of neko ears, but instead it’s an adorable headband with neko ears, ribbons, and bells. The bells even make a jingling sound when you walk that you can turn off or on. It’s so much fun to prounce around as a little neko while the bells on my head jingle.

{Lemon Tea} - Somali Neko Tail – Say “goodbye” to those dumb old flexi tails and “hello” to this fluffy mesh neko tail! This tail has great movement and it can even wrap around you when you don’t want it waggling about. There is also a HUD that comes along with it so you can change the color of the tail to whatever you like. I don’t think I’ll buy a new tail ever again unless this shop somehow comes up with something even better.

Bunnies Poop Tickets

Again my posts have become far between but they haven’t yet ended so don’t worry your pretty little heads. I recently spent hours chasing down bunnies, waiting for them to poop out tickets, and quickly scooping them up to exchange them for prizes. If that sounds odd to you well it isn’t because I’m talking about the Alice in RMK Gothic Bunny Hunt. It ends on the 31st so if you want to take part in it you still have time but time is running out! You can find out more info about the hunt and what other stores are participating here since I’ll only be mentioning a couple in this post. I’ll also be showing off some special skins that you can only get from the Skin Fair which started just a couple of days ago. Now, have a look at my Alice themed outfits that I think turned out pretty adorable. You may notice my shape seems a little different too and that’s because I’ve remade my face, something I haven’t done in years. I’ve never bought shapes, I’ve always just made my own because I didn’t want to be another misshapen squinty eyed chick with huge lips and buckteeth. Anyways, lets move on shall we.
DownDownDown @ RMK Gothic Bunny Hunt - Fairy Tale Book Alice – This book is one of the hunt items you definitely need to make sure to grab. Not only does it come with this normal holding book but also one you can rez and one that says AFK so you have something to wear when you’re not there.

The Sugar Garden @ Skin Fair – Hope Skin – What’s so great about this skin is the cute little nose and glossy lips, and that’s just something this shop does really well. The only problem I ever have with these skins though is the makeup around the eyes doesn’t look quite right with my big eyes. It’s not a big problem or anything because I just wear some liner to cover it up and then it all looks fine.

ni.ju - Color Enhanced Eyeliner – I think this was an old group gift or something so it may or may not be available for purchase. It’s just the liner I like to use when either matching makeup with outfits or improving eye makeup that doesn’t fit quite right with my eye shape.

Chus! – Bohemienne Lens Eyes – I always end up stuck wearing Tacky Star eyes all the time but this shop helps me break that habit with these sparkly dark eyes. They really help pull off the spooky cute look when combined with the rest of the outfit.

Clawtooth @ Collabor88 - Victim of Love Hair – This is part of an exclusive color pack only sold at this event and once it’s over it will never be sold again. If I were you I’d hurry and pick this hair up while you can before the month and event are both over. If you don’t care for the this style of bangs there is also another hair available that is very similar.

Schadenfreude - Leith Boots – I only noticed just now that I wore these boots in my last post as well. I guess that tells you how much I love to wear them and it’s mostly because of just how well made they look. They’re now at the shop’s mainstore at the normal price, but I say they’re still well worth buying and wearing all the time like I wear them.

+Blue Blood+ - Alice Dress – The dress comes in many different colors but I personally liked black the best. The black, red, and white was just a great color combination with the green eyes of the cheshire cat pushing it over the top. This dress makes me feel like a little gothic doll but more cute than dark.

Pididdle - PopPop Headband – I kind of wish this headband was color changeable instead of having to purchase different colors separately but all in all it’s a great looking headband. The spikes on the headband add a lot to the tough cute girl look which is why I chose to wear it with this outfit.

Pink Fuel @ Skin Fair - Alyx Smokey Skin and Lip Lustre Candy Apple Lipstick – I will always love Pink Fuel skins and Mochi was really sweet and made sure I had these latest ones that you currently can only get at the Skin Fair. I have to say these new skins are a huge improvement of what her past skins have been and they were already amazing to begin with. The skins are currently on sale at the fair but once the fair is over they go back to normal price so you really don’t want to miss this deal or you’ll regret it for sure!

Chus! - Foggy Lens Eyes – I know when I got these eyes they were for a special price and stuff and I’m pretty sure they’re still at the shop but you’ll just have to check and see. I really like the color a lot which is a sort of faded brown or pink, it’s kind of hard to describe which is a good thing. They definitely look good combined with the sakura flowers in the headband.

Violent Seduction - Sakura Horns – These horns are special edition, they’re 80L until the end of March and are exclusive to the cupcake sim event. After the month is over they will never be sold again or atleast not at this price. I love the little flowers in the tangled branches and the small horns kind of make me feel like a jackalope while I’m wearing my white rabbit like suit.

=DeLa*= - Carly Hair – This mesh hair has some really nice bangs and the hair swept over one shoulder and only partly on the other makes it a great looking style. It also flows very nicely around the face and body like it doesn’t stab into your chest like some hairs do.

Dreaming Maiden @ RMK Gothic Bunny Hunt - McTwisp Outfit – The whole outfit except for the shoes is part of this shop’s gift in the hunt, and it even includes a hat and a trumpet that are not shown in the pictures. My favorite part of this outfit is the coat because I haven’t really seen coats open at the top to show off the chest and open slightly at the bottom to show off the pants. It just makes it so unique to me and I can’t believe that all of it was free!

DECO - Mesh Rivet Boots – I’ve always wanted to wear some nice combat boots but could never find some that looked decent and worked for girls. These boots aren’t too bulky and they go very nicely with the outfit, plus they have very good details.

Dimbula Rose @ RMK Gothic Bunny Hunt - Alice’s Summer Dress – This outfit includes the dress and stocking plus a bag and head bow that aren’t shown in the pictures. The way the dress moves with you almost makes you feel like a princess of some sort or maybe like Alice when she’s falling down the rabbit hole. I love the light blue color the most because that’s always been one of my favorite colors.

Nightshade Designs – Sugar Satin Slippers – I think this shop is closed now because I can’t seem to find it at all anymore but I could always be wrong. These slippers are very nice though even if they are kind of old, but hey some things can just hold up to the test of time. If you do somehow manage to find the shop still in business see if you can find these shoes and pick them up.

ni.ju – Marx Piercing Galactic – This version of the piercing is currently in the lucky board at the shop, but if you don’t feel like waiting you can always buy the normal version. Some piercings just go over the top and make you ask what the hell was the creator thinking but not ni.ju’s piercings. This shop always has the best piercings in my opinion especially this one because it makes my eyes look even better.

Pink Fuel @ Skin Fair – Alyx Blue Skin and Lip Lustre Rose Bonbon Lipstick – Another one of the amazing new skins and lipsticks by this shop found only at the skin fair right now. I think in later posts I’ll continue posting different versions of these skins with the lipsticks.

Auxiliary – Gacha Mouse Ears – If you want this specific set of ears you’re just going to have to try your luck at the gacha machine in the shop. You go and pay the gacha machine and it will randomly give you a set of ears. You just keep trying until you get the ones you’re after. I think they’re pretty adorable and look much nicer than just a bow on your head.

Burley - Zia II Hair – I really wish I hadn’t ran out of money or else I would have bought a lot more hairs from this shop. Took me ages to settle on just one for now and this was the winner out of the bunch. It’s a very sleek and adorable looking straight hairstyle, and I like how it looks like the hair is tucked behind the ear with a bit still infront of it.

lassitude & ennui @ Shop Free*Style - Stacked Pearls Necklace – This necklace is free! Yes you heard right, this necklace along with several other items from different shops are 0-50L only at Shop Free*Style. You really need to check out the great deals here and get yourself some free/cheap stuff.

Fairy Tail - Unisex Bracelet – The shop has been closed for awhile now I’m sad to say because it had so much nice looking jewelry. This bracelet was one of their old simple things but even so it’s still pretty cute and was a good addition to the outfit.

Late Holidays and Early Beginnings

I’m not sure why but it seems I always fall behind on things. I meant to do this post before Christmas but moving into my new apartment kind of hindered my ability of making that happen. You’ll notice some of the outfits I put together this time seem a bit centered around the holidays, I even had pictures of me in a Santa outfit but decided it was best to replace it with something else. I think I can salvage things by pretty much calling this a winter post instead if you ignore the Christmas colored lights on one of the dresses. Anyways, you’ll notice in the first outfit I’ve brought out my new mesh boobs made by LOLAS!. They’re from the same shop as the other ones, just these are mesh and more natural shaped instead of crazy roundness. In the other two outfits I downsized back to my normal boobs but the outfits look just as great. If you don’t believe me well let us take a look shall we?
LOLAS! - Tango Mesh Breasts – I like these a lot more than the Push-Up version making me almost wish I had bought them first. I do still like the Push-Up boobs but these just seem to be more realistic plus adding clothing or skin appliers to them is a lot easier. You just put on a HUD and click it to change the skin and with clothing you do the same but click the boobs first and select what kind of clothing you’re putting on which is so simple. Again these are pretty pricey but a ton of clothing is out there for them already, more so than the Push-Up.
Violent Seduction - Versailles Dress and Lolita Cantonier – This shop has recently MOVED so make sure to update your landmarks if you haven’t already. The head ornament can be won from the lucky boards or you can purchase the pack that has various other colors. The dress is mesh and includes 2 different styles and also appliers for the Tango boobs. I’m so glad that one of my favorite clothing shops is finally making clothes that I can wear with the mesh boobs making the purchase of them worth while.
Schadenfreude - Leith Boots – Man if this shop doesn’t stop coming out with amazing shoes and boots I’m going to be broke forever. What’s special about these mesh boots is they also come with mesh heel versions if you’re not really feeling the knee highs. There is also a HUD that allows you to change the color of the boots and the buttons that go down the sides.
Clawtooth @ Collabor88 - Dance Magic Hair – This hair is part of a special color pack that can only be found at Collabor88 then will be gone after the event is over. The event goes on all month long but don’t wait too long or you might miss out. The hair is mesh so make sure to try out a demo first to make sure it fits.
The Sugar Garden - Mei Mei Skin – If you have any of the adorable skins from this shop you’re in luck because this shop makes skin appliers for a lot of different mesh boobs out there. Something I like about these skins is that they make your face have an almost doll look to them which goes great when wearing a lolita style outfit like this one.
[ni.ju] - Winter Depth Eyes Peppermint – This specific color was sold special at an event that was held in December, but they may be sold at the main store now. If not there are other colors that are definitely located at the store. The swirling of the red and white is what makes me love these eyes because it just draws you into them.
*katat0nik* - V.2 Snow Doll Outfit, Snowflake T-Strap Wedges, and Bear Pop – The outfit and the bear pop are both group gifts that are currently still out at the shop but you better hurry because who knows when they will get taken down and replaced with some new goodies. The shoes you have to buy separately though but considering how much stuff you’re getting for free they’re well worth it to pick up and match with your outfit.
The Sugar Garden - Baby Skin – Another cute doll like skin that just fits perfectly with the doll like clothes that *katat0nik* releases. Almost no make-up needs to be added to improve this skin but I still added some stripey eye make-up to go with the outfit.
[ni.ju] - Color Enhanced Eyeliner and Winter Depth Eyes Arctic – This stripey red eyeliner seemed to go really well with the red stripes in the outfit. The only thing is this was part of an old group gift and may not be sold in the shop, but feel free to look anyways and you might find something similar. The eyes were also a specific color only sold at an event in December, but like I said before if this color isn’t in the shop many others will be there instead.
!lamb. – Faster, Pussycat. Kill! Kill! Hair – This is a mesh hair with a kitty headband and no the headband doesn’t come off, but it does change colors making it easy to match whatever you’re wearing. Like with all hairs, especially mesh ones, make sure to try out a demo first before you buy it.
*katat0nik* - Egg Nog Milk Doll – One more thing among the pile of group gifts currently sitting at the shop. Before you go to scoop it up though remember the group has a fee to join it but with gifts like these you’re definitely going to get your money’s worth.
Off The Wall - Livingwithurparentsdrass – You can’t visit this store and not love all the wacky things found inside like this mesh dress covered in Christmas lights. The dress is modifiable so don’t worry about the red and green colors because you can change them to whatever colors you like best.
*League* - Neve Boots – These are mesh boots that come with a HUD that allows you to change the color of the fur, heel, even the zipper on the boots. They’re perfect for a winter look without strapping a bunch of fur to your legs.
Candy Mountain - Dew Eyes – Like my last post these are also part of the group gift of eyes sitting at the shop right next to a fatpack of them that you can purchase if you so choose.
Magika - Early Hair – I’m such a sucker for pigtails, if I find some that I think look nice I just have to buy them. This hair is mesh but the hair bows are modifiable so I was able to change the color of them to match the dress.
[MutE] - One Christmas Skin – I actually kind of stumbled upon this skin in my inventory just by typing Christmas into the search bar. I got really lucky since the skin does look great, but I’m afraid you guys might not be able to get it since it was from Christmas 2011. You can always check the store though and see if they might have come out with something even better for this past Christmas.

Boobs, Fish and Boots

So I’m finally doing a post again, sorry for the big gap in between them but hey at least there’s something new here for you guys to see. I finally caved in and bought some sculpty boobs which I honestly never thought I’d do but these are actually really nice. Of course not long after I bought them a new style comes out, but oh well what can you do. There’s a ton of clothing and skin appliers for them and luckily two of my favorite skin shops (Pink Fuel and Leafy) have made appliers to match their skins. I’ve also put together two other outfits with my normal boobs. That’s because I wanted to show off my awesome boots and dress, plus my sort of Dishonored inspired whaler outfit which is an awesome game by the way. First things first, bring on the boobs!
LOLAS! - Push Up 2.5 Boobs – These are a bit pricey, they’ll run you about 1250L but considering the great detail I’d say it’s well worth it. There’s a good amount of clothing shops that make clothes specifically for them. Also, if you don’t want to bother matching them to your skin just buy a skin applier from one of the skin shops selling them and they match perfectly to their skins

The Sugar Garden @ The Boobies Show - School Uniform, Deep Blue Eyes – This outfit is currently only available at this event and only works with the boobs, just like everything else at the event. I love this outfit though with the boobs because it reminds me so much of those anime school girls like Orihime from Bleach. The eyes I got a long while back when the shop went by Esuga and I’m not sure if they’re still available

Modish - Cupidsis Skin – The shop is currently having a sale on all of their skins so I picked up this one. What I like most about this skin is the cute pink cheeks and pink lips. It just fits so well with the other pinks in the outfit and gives a nice innocent look

(red)Mint - Hair No.05 – I’ve never seen a hair like this on sl before, normally when it comes to pigtails all you see is one on either side of the head and that’s it. With this hair there’s 3 tufts of hair tied up in hair bands with the rest hanging down and I just think that’s so adorable

{Cherry} @ Marketplace - Classic Pumps – These are only available on the marketplace but are super cheap and are the perfect light pink to match the rest of the outfit or any light pink outfit

Schadenfreude - Luisa Stockings, Casati Dress, Painted Desert Amargosa Boots – These boots are freaking amazing with the painted designs and dress is equally great with its beaded designs. The stockings you can’t see very well but they fit really nicely by being the same ocean color

Flightless - The Stag Necklace – I actually don’t remember when I picked up this necklace, but I’m glad I stumbled upon it in my inventory because the beads in the necklace look almost exactly the same as the ones in the dress. The little dear head is also very cute but I feel bad for the deer

Magika - Awkward Hair – A great updo hairstyle that just works well with the outfit and the color goes great with the light browns. You can’t see the back but it’s a long pony tail wrapped around one time and the rest dangles

*Leafy - Luna Skin – Leafy skins are always great in detail and this one is no exception. Not a ton of makeup on it, just a nice pure look which is exactly what I was looking for in a skin

Candy Mountain - Dew Eyes – These are a special group gift color of eyes that are currently out at the shop being sold in fatpacks. The group is not a free one to join but there are a ton of awesome group gifts scattered across the shop

DECO - Fisherman Slicker, Her Cargo Pants – When I saw this slicker and cargo pants I instantly thought of the whalers in the game Dishonored and just had to put them together. Deco just does mesh things very well and you can tell by looking at these two items

Schadenfreude - Beatle Boots – This shop has just been coming out with so much awesome footwear and it’s been putting a massive dent in my wallet. The little red boots just seemed to fit when it came to the red in the striped shirt

Contraption - Veteran’s Gasmask – This was a special group gift mask and is no longer available but the shop has masks that are sort of similar and definitely worth checking out

TRUTH - Portia Hair – I was looking for a good hairstyle that would enable me to show off the mask well without covering it up with a ton of hair and then I found this. The hair just curls around the mask perfectly

{what next} - Let it Rain Pose Set – This umbrella is part of a pose set and I think it works really well in pictures. Since I was unable to find a harpoon to go with my whaler and the umbrella was the next best thing

Intrigue Co - Anchor Earrings – What would a whaler be without an anchor so these earrings were a nice touch to put with the outfit
