Fantasy Faire II – DRESSES!

Hey peeps,

today I will show you a couple of dresses I picked up at the Fantasy Faire. I am not usually a fan of dresses for chicks in SL, simply because SL is flooded with dresses. That, too, is why I am so sick and tired about guys moaning and whining about how ther eis just nothing for guys. That isn’t true. Some of the BEST designers in the role-play genre create outfits for guys. In regards to mesh, it is MUCH easier to find good, quality mesh items to put together a rogue-ish outfit for guys, or an outfit that might fit for any kind of fighter, warrior or thief. Sure, as a chick you get to pick from a lot of chocies to…..1000000 dresses, silks and skirts and metal bikinis tagged as ‘armor’.

HOWEVER. I do like dresses when they are wellmade. These are wellmade. :) And I really do like them, besides Bilo’s Dress, none of these is a review copy, so that tells you something. I am especially impressed with Fatewear’s dress and hell, I say we should bug him to create more rp outfits!! Also, these dresses seem really good for Gor as well. ;O

Sometimes I wonder if you are made from bones and skin

Hello peeps,

I’ve been holding this post back for some time, but here it is: City of Rasenna opens today! You might experience a little surprise when you go to the sim. :) It is very lovely, I was hanging there for quite some time whele Eve Cartier was still fiddling with some last prims.

Please keep in mind: This is a GOREAN sim. Horns, elves and such are NOT allowed. I got a special preview before the sim was ready to open. So, bear this in mind when you go to visit.

Also, Tera Varriale, Ost Clawtooth and I have been working on a new shopping project lately, which is why I didn’t manage to dish out another post yet, even if I already have two outfits ready again. I was neckdeep in work. :) . It is still sort of a secret, but stay tuned for more infos to come soon. If you are a blogger and very curious about rp and shopping, feel free to shoot either of us an IM.

<3 Arica

Queen of the High Forest

Hellos!

So, I have been repeatedly asked why I do not dish out a post every day currently. Two reasons:

1. I passed my final, final, final exam on monday. 11 hours of exams, essays, showlessons and oral exams after 1,5 years of traineeship. I was really damned busy.

2. I do not post every random stuff some store happens to release, especially not if it is the usual template stuff. I do use template stuff at times, but only if it is really well done. I rather go for quality than quantity. I wait until I really love an outfit and then blog it.

I got a few outfits up my sleeve, so whenever I find the time the next days, I’ll blog.  Oh and if you want to listen to true greatness, listen to this:

Woodkid – I love you

Here another proof that you can mix and match mesh-outfits. :P

Modern Elfy Times!!! :)

Hello peeps,

so, I guess I owe an explanation (or not?) as to why I am have been sooo slow with everything lately. I keep telling myself that I’ll have the time to blog more…but then I figure: NOpe, again no time. I am currently in a trainee programm for teachers and it basically eats up my time. I got my final exams in less than three weeks and well…I better not procrastinate. So until the 4th of March, I will probably not be blogging again after this post.

Today, I wanted to show you gyus an outfit I made for a casual OOC elf a s well as some of my favourite hairs that more or less recently have been released.

Here is my outfit. Forgive the not so cool picture, I tried to figure out how to get shadows to work properly. Oh well…skillfull me isn’t all that skilled yet. :)

Hair: Exile (Kavar Cleanslate Mesh!!)
Shape: selfmade
Eyes: Mayfly (Arkesh baral, Mesh!!)
Ears: Illusions (Siyu Suen, Mesh!!)
Blouse: Tee*fy (Azure Electricteeth, Mesh!! Collabor 88!!)
Skirt: Götzsche (Goetzsche Resident, Mesh!!
Pumps: Elikatira (Elikapeda Tiramisu, not for sale anymore. :( )
Clutch: Milk Motion (Marie Lauridsen)
Belt: Tokidoki (Maya Levane)
Necklace: League (Nena Janus)

Here come my six current favourite hairstyles, in no particular order:
Blog184PS_1

Both Magika hairs are just flawless. I love, love their system where you can buy the whole scale of natural colours (brunette, red, black, blondes) for only 250 Lindens. The textures and meshwork is awesome, and each hair comes in three sizes. Magika has improved so, so much over the years. Imho, Sabiny Gully is currently one of the best hairmakers out there. These hairs fall in a natural manner and are really long as they reach down to the lower back. I am in love with these. Also I think her haircolours look very nice and natural, even if I picked a not so natural red right now.

The LeLutka hair is very nice as well, the soft waves giving it a very innocent look. I love the fact that you can turn the hair accessory on or off. I have to unfortunately turn it off because it clips into my elven ears. :( But even without it, this hair looks really nice. Her haircolours and textures are very, very good as well. I really can rarely complain, unless she is making one of her strange hairstyles again for which you’d need a bottle of hairspray to have them stay that way. But oh well, this one is awesome! It also fits me quite perfectly, even without the alpha layer.

Blog184PS_2

And here comes Eaters Coma. Kumii Yoshikawa always already amazed us with her really pretty styles that she made for SIXTYNINE. The style ‘ME’ was one of the favs I’d say, and I saw so, so many chicks with it. Guess what? Now she has redone it in mesh, and while I like Burley’s remake of it as well, this one just made me SO happy. I am wearing it on the right. I do not think it is  a 100% exact replica of her old ME-style, and I wish teh bangs would be a bit lower on this one, but this is a thick, very wellmade and hot braid that goes over your boob. Truth has made a similar style, I believe it is called Froukje, but the way the braid just seems cut off at the bottom always bothered me. I love this. Eaters Coma in general makes very good mesh styles, even if not all of them are fitting my personal tastes. The style on the left is one of my current most worn styles as well. I think her textures are awesome, however I do wish she would add more colour-variety to her packages. Also, making hair, even meshhair, no mod is a bit sad. One should be abllowed to tint it a bit!

In the middle there is Exile, and I really, really do like it. Often enough, the shape of Exile’s hairs doesn’t go well with my headshape at all. In this case, I was SO hapy. Not only does it come with a bunch of cute, rigged meshflowers which you can obviously detach. :) The textures are nice and I really do like how it flows down over your boobs. I tinted the hair in this case. I bought the Naturals Package Exile offers and the tone ‘Sunset’ doesn’t exactly strike me as a red tone, so I tinted it a bit,  e voilà, now I am happy. :)

I think that is something  creators of hairs should really keep in mind: Please, please add packages with one example of each natural colour! I know Exile, Eliaktira, LeLutka and Magika do this, but I really wish others would follow as well. Make it a little more expensive than  the usual packs, that justs eems fair. But nothing is worse than having to buy tons and tons of hairs in a new colour, just because youc hanged your colour after years. :D I know what I am talking about.

 

So, that’s it for now and the next post will be more than liekly after the 4th of March. Unless I start procrastinating… :P

Ecstasy of Gold

Hey peeps,

I know, I know. I have been slow lately. Several reasons there, and those aren’t excuses: I haven’t felt terribly inspired lately, since a few of my favourite designers have been very inactive the past month. Also, I am currently studying a lot since on march 4th I’ll have the second part of my master’s degree and hopefully become a full teacher finally, after 1,5 years of an extremely stressfull internship. So bear with me please, I really do feel stupid that I feel so lazy lately.

SO, I am glad Curio is finally back, even if I daresay that the compromise they amde stinks. Pity, but at least they are back. So right now I am waiting for new skins from Curio and The Body Co.

Talk about the Body Co: I abandoned my Orchid skin. Why? For several reasons:

1. For once, Body Co stated they will not create Tango appliers for their skins. Their decision, but a big let down for me.
2. I got tired of their prices. I am sorry, but 500 Lindens for a watermarked (!) Make UP, that you can only use with that ONE specific skin and not even any of their other skins, is just ridiculous. Doesn’t matter how many layers it comes with, since I don’t want a make up in a billion of skintones but rather one I can use for mixing and matching.
3. During their Sale, the Orchid skin was 750L while all others were 500L, due to the package being slightly different (three types of brows). The other skins come with one type of brow, which imho, isn’t exactly a nice deal for a single skin. Time moves on, skins nowadays come with several brow layers, hairbaes, freckles, sometimes different make up layers or even nose-addons and so many other things. I think they do not offer a whole lot for the money you pay, at least not outside of the Sale.

I still love their skins, but that still put me off.

So now, I wear a new combination of skin + skinlayers. I really do like it a lot. :-) Thoughts on it? And…there are even Tango-appliers for this one. :D

As for the new outfit: I tried to put together a layered outfit with pretty much mesh-only items. :)
