Another Brick In the Wall

Part II of my faMESHed first birthday series include a long list of things I just couldn’t live without this round! This outfit from NYU features a blouse with color changeable bow via HUD and super sexy hotpants! I love hotpants as they can be worn so many different ways. Throw in a high waist and I am giddy with excitement!

I decided to go a little schoolgirl punk with army girl tights from Worldwide Industries and these combat boots from Gos. Of course being the total nerd that I am, I had to pose at Platform 9 3/4 at the Mischief Managed sim!

Fantasy Faire 2013

I finally got around to hitting up the Fifth Annual Fantasy Faire today and I am so glad I made it! Not only is this event a stunning display of creativity and the fantastical, but it is also a Relay For Life event. Really, what better way to spend our $L than to help a worthy cause like the American Cancer Society?

With eight gorgeous sims of shopping and exploration, I really had no idea where to begin. It took me hours to browse, picking up some favorites along the way, but what I really admired was the ingenuous hunt that was also a part of the event. The Key of Hope Hunt, though I haven’t gotten started (yet) has a terrific back-story that you can read here and really gets you in the spirit of the surrounding sims.

I had a lot of fun posing at the Fairelands Junctions portion of the event, which not only offers teleports to the other shopping sims, but is also a beautiful display of greenery and winding rivers, perfect for playing the fairy in this cute little dress and wings set I picked up by Sparkle Skye from SS Designs. Analog Dog also has some pretty offerings at their booth, including two new releases for this event, as well as this Trouble Clef hair I am wearing above.

The poses I am using are from F*cking Ninjas (above) and D.Luxx poses. They are both fairy related and though they are not new releases, I couldn’t resist showing the spirit they helped me capture for my pictures.

Fantasy Faire 2013 ends on April 28th, so if you haven’t had a chance to stop on by for some shopping and exploring, it’s not yet too late to do so! Grab your taxi here!

Green With Envy

You’re from a whole other world,  

a different dimension.

You open my eyes and I’m ready to go.

Lead me into the light.

I was sim hopping recently and came across INSILICO, a futuristic rpg sim. The build of this sim is off the charts, with so much detail and so expansive that it would take weeks to explore the city in length. I was checking out the rules at the landing point and I love that everything is so straightforward and easy to understand. And, you don’t even need a tag to wander around and check things out. For photographers, how great is that?

Legal Insanity has this great new halter dress out for the Dressing Room Fusion. When I saw the green and black, I knew I instantly wanted to create an outfit that was different and out of the box. I don’t usually wear too much makeup in SL, but with Cosmetic Fair having opened last week, I stopped by and scooped up this wicked green eye-shadow from Dead Apples. Black lipstick really completes an extraterrestrial inspired look.

New Releases @ Liv-Glam

If you haven’t been to the new Liv-Glam location on the Zenshi sim, I definitely recommend heading over there and seeing what creator Samantha Jones has been cooking up! She’s been pumping out new releases every day and at amazing prices for those of you that are both fashion and $L conscious.

In case you haven’t heard yet, every Monday and Wednesday, Liv-Glam’s Chic La Mode offers two cycles of beautiful new releases. Then on Friday, Steals & Deals sweeps in to finish up the week with crazy sales of yet more awesomeness!

I am wearing just a few of my favorite dresses from Sam’s new releases. There are really too many to even consider talking about, but I really love the innovative HUD that comes with Liv-Glam releases. Not only does it allow you to choose your size, but it also doubles as a way to change textures and/or colors, all in one!

I Dream [Print] of Genie

I still can’t help but continue to play around with poses from Pose Fair 2013! These ones are from Dream Print and so fun to explore the Kingdom of Sand sim with! If you aren’t familiar with KoS, even as a visitor, you have to go! Wow, is this sim beautiful! It is an MMORPG in a desert setting but luckily there were visitors tags at the entrance, so I was able to get in for a few hours and just wander around! It is stretched across two sims and everywhere you turn are picture perfect backdrops!

The new cycle of faMESHed is also out now and my trip to Kingdom of Sand was inspired by this oh-so-pretty and modern take on a sari and skirt by Valentina E. Couture. She’s also released ‘Barely,’ a teeny tiny dress with a matching print [with the sari/skirt] as well, both of which are perfect for the encroaching hot summer months. Or, unless you live in the South, the past couple of weeks!

Of course I couldn’t wear a sari and not wear some jewelry by Zaara and though her Nizam jewel collection isn’t exactly a new release, Zaara’s work is still always stunningly beautiful!

The Arcade: March 2013

Finally, the new round of the Arcade has arrived and I am super excited to be invited to blog for the event this time! Don’t know what a gacha is? Well, it is all about betting against the odds. Pay a vendor to receive a random item from those available, then either keep playing to get what you want, or wait around and trade with others to possibly get the whole set!

For those who’ve never been to the previous Arcade Gacha Events, it is definitely worth at least one visit! When you arrive at the Country Club sim, you’ll find yourself at a sunny dockside where you’re greeted by the smell of popcorn, carnival music, the jingle of coins and silly old Archie Gachum, reminding us all to have fun.

Once inside, there is a wide array of gacha machines set up throughout. Each vendor offers their wares for prices ranging for as little as 25L up to 100L in price. Play one or play ‘em all, then don’t forget to join the Arcade Group to get in on the trading!

This month, so many fantastic new gachas have been released from returning designers and ones that are new to the Arcade. For a full list of the creators and a listing of everything that is available at the event, be sure to check out the Arcade Shopping Guide.

When you’re finished playing the gachas, feel free to check out what the rest of the Arcade sponsors have created for us to enjoy. Souvenirs, a carousel and lots of fun arcade style games are set up for us to enjoy and help support the event.

Sunshine & Smiles

I visited Kaelyn Alecto‘s finished sim recently and am really impressed with the wonderful work she’s done! It has a little bit of everything and I love the ocean-side boardwalk feel of the landing point. And as her sim is so aptly named, it really does start you off with a smile!

Also, not only has this super sweet girly opened up her sim to all of us, but it was also her rezday yesterday, so if you haven’t wished her all sorts of good things, it is not too late to do so! Happy Rezzday Kae!

ColdLogic also came out with some great new spring releases yesterday as well. They are a mash-up of short dresses and light cardigans in a variety of colors- absolutely perfect for the warmer months!

This month, there is also a great photo contest at ColdLogic as well. The deadline is February 28, so there is still a week left to get your entries in. The best part? The winner will receive every new release for an entire year! Free!

Home Sweet Home

I’ve finally got my dream sim all finished! So it only took three months- who’s counting, right? There is just too much to post all at once, so I decided to share the best part – the house!

I just love decorating and landscaping and spending hours browsing just about everything and anything that can be packed into a house. I would say that my style typically leans towards a vintage/classic and shabby chic look, with lots of light and lots of water! <3

What are your styles and preferences when decorating? I am all ears for others’ inworld homes and sims, so don’t be afraid to share what you’ve come up with!

Amae

There are so many great new releases out this month and I am so excited to finally get back to checking them all out! Tee*fy has wowed at Collabor88 this month with this super cute slouchy tank and flare skirt that instantly make me think of warm, breezy summer days. The tank comes in a solid or sheer version and both tank and skirt each come in thirteen assorted colors for a lot of great mixing and matching!

Also released just yesterday are these amazing Amae Sandals from Celoe. I am in love with the quality and design of these heels and the ease with which I was able to match my skin tone using the HUD. Amae comes in ten colors, three metals options and a great set of nail polishes to choose from! If you haven’t already, I definitely recommend stopping by the Mayfair sim and checking out these heels.
