In the woods

Fair Play has started, and there are so many great offers to find! It took me quite a while to decide, and what do you do if you don't know what to put on yet? You spend your time with exploring to free your mind for ideas. For example, you explore the woods of Tuck's Misty Isle! And realize that you'd like to have an adventurer outfit with a touch of a fae and... mmmm... steampunk!

Guess what! I'm in the mood for some roleplay outfit ideas. Let me introduce you to Dyrka, my roleplay character on a GoT-inspired sim. Because I love SL fashion so much, I had to find a way to let her wear all those awesome clothes and accessoires because the roleplay happens on Bear Island, known for its more or less poor clothed people. So what happened to Dyrka? She was married in Highgarden, enjoyed a luxurious life for a few years before her husband died in an accident. Now she's back on the island, thinking she was the most needed "fashion embassador of the North" who has to introduce all those girls and ladies to more than just fur, leather and linen...

[imported] 266. Create your own Tarot: The Empress

When I won the Empress of China gown, I just couldn't find hair I felt comfortable with for this outfit, and I thought I would never blog it. But finally: the Geisha Shimada hair from Anachron which is available at the current Create your own Tarot event for 149 L$ each pack only is the perfect one for me. I say for me because I know it's a mix & match of differenct culture backgrounds ;-)

Since there is also a photo contest running for this event, I decided to try my luck and combine the hair with Zenith's fabulous gown and -- like it was just perfectly timed -- with these awesome hair accessoire pieces from ARISKEA, the june group gift, which had just been released.

If you wonder where you could find Zenith's gacha machine: I am sorry to have to disappoint you but due to Zenith owner Tony Prinz, this machine will never be set up anywhere in-world again. However, a few people have still things from this machine, like myself (yes, I played it a bit too often... bad, bad gacha addiction... ).

So in case you would like to get one of the dresses or furniture pieces, you might want to check out my gacha resell vendor on the little yardsale of SLinfo, a german SL-related forum which celebrates its 10th birthday this month.

I am in love. With those ears from Mandala which are available at the current The Men's Dept. round. The HUD allows you to choose from 3 shapes (human, pinkie, elf), various ear tattoos and piercing combinations/colors (even clean naked ears are possible), and - if you wish - different for both sides. If you ever wondered if you should buy ears for your avatar, these are the ones I would recommend without any hesitation.

As you can see, I have been in a fantasy mood today. With a lot of fantasy, you have to imagine that the blue feathers are actually shoulder pauldrons. It's from the Vigdis full dress gift at Zibska which comes with a few eye make up tattoo layers and SLink nail polish. Since I wanted more feathers, I combined it with parts of a previous group gift from PurpleMoon. That gift is not available anymore but if you love a classy and imaginative style, then the 50 L$ group join fee is worth every penny. Visit the store to check out the current gifts available.

7 Deadly s{K}ins Fauna skin which was available at the latest Tales of Fantasy round can now be found in the mainstore. The male version is called Fabian Faun. With one of the newest hair release from [I<3F], my basic look was ready for the outfit and the accessoires. Freya is available in two different color HUD packages (naturals and colors).

And a reminder: Last day for Midwinter Faire and the Happy Holidays Event is tomorrow. Both events offer great finds for the smaller budget. At both event locations, you can find a huge christmas tree with a lot of gifts. Last chance to get them!
