Fantasy Faire 2024: A Guiding Light

April 27, 2024

I already used one of the poses from Audition, but the Beacons of Hope set is so perfect for the message of the Fantasy Faire that I wanted to revisit it again for this post. The lonely figure in the opening of the door, small against her surroundings but still offering a hopeful light, seemed like such lovely imagery.

Of course, it also gave me the opportunity to feature more Faire-releases, such as the pretty Eleanor gown from Faida, a sweet and simple style in a beautiful rose colour which is one of two special colours found in RFL vendors. I think the ribbon necklace from Sigma complements it in a lovely way.

The building is from Del-ka Aedilis Medieval Series, a charming townhouse with two stories and ivy clinging to the walls. The second story is set back a little bit, creating a fenced-in veranda in front of the door.

Welcome to Winter’s Hollow

January 07, 2024

Winter’s Hollow, by Dark Passions Events, welcomes you to explore creations inspired by the cold and dark days of winter. The event is open from January 6th to January 20th and I will be giving you a few looks at what’s on offer along the way.

First out, we have a cosy wool dress with a fur collar from Paper Moon, a rustic creation in natural fibre hues. Something to curl up in front of the fireplace in, perhaps paired with some cosy tights.  A contrast against the rustic feel of the wool is provided by the jewelry set by Sigma, a heart-shaped pendant with a skull motif and matching earrings. A lovely memento mori with texture (and tinting) options for chain, setting and stone.

The final item from Winter’s Hollow is the Winter Bridge from Tirrany Designs, with elegant ironwork and four lights to brighten the night.

My hair is by Wasabi and to keep with the winter theme I used the option to have white streaks at the front of the hair. The style optionally incorporates a single braid but can also be worn without it.

Rain Dance

July 04, 2023

Its the 4th which means we’re getting another round of We Love Role-Play today and this is a really good one! The star of my first post is undoubtedly the Samantha lehenga for Zaara, a more modern take on the classic lehenga inspired by Bollywood movies.  In the fatpack you can mix and match blouse and skirt colours as well as border colours. The cut of the blouse is very sexy and gives a fantastic look to your cleavage.

I paired the lehenga with two more pieces from the event; a collar from Sigma and heels from Sass. Both offer texture options via a HUD.

The hair is from Wasabi for Uber, a high pony tail that is loosely twisted and tied off.

Sorceress of the Mists

June 25, 2023

A mysterious sorceress, living alone in a grand elven palace permanently enshrouded in mists. Is she about to welcome her visitor or cast a spell on them?

From We Love Role-Play (open until the 28th) comes the magic energy swirls by En Pointe, the leaf wrap bracelets by Sigma and the beautiful build by Tirrany Designs.  Scroll down for more pictures to see the latter two items more clearly. En Pointe’s release includes a HUD that controls the colour and style of the swirls and Sigma’s bracelets also come with several metal options as well as fits for a range of bodies.

The dress is a Petrichor and Ersch collaboration for Midsummer Enchantment. It is highly customizable, allowing you to show or hide the dress and the accessories in sections and of course retexture many pieces individually.

Finally we have the Dasha hair from Wasabi which is a Hair Fair release that donates 15% of the proceeds to Wigs for Kids. This long, straight hair offers four style options and hair clips that can be shown or hidden.
