Wisteria Wind

Okay, I know I'm rather slow moving here lately, sorry you all! Just been very busy with first life, you know how that goes. I miss blogging, so can't imagine staying away for too long! Anyway....

This time my blog is focusing on a simply stunning outfit my friend and sis SeleneLily gave me. She is always so thoughtful and is known to shower people with gifts for no particular reason at all, except that she's an unselfish, kind, and wonderful person :) This outfit is called Wisteria Wind by Elvina Ewing and the color is to die for! My favorite color is already blue, so this is just perfection to me. As always, the details are what make the outfit so special....it contains wisteria and little butterfly adornments, along with lovely and elaborate feminine trim. The fit is just right and flows beautifully. The flowing fabric moves as you do and looks totally natural. You can also wear it in different ways as there are several pieces. Here is what's listed in the marketplace:

This set includes 13 pieces in total:
✿ clothing layers (no mod/copy): top on shirt and undershirt layers; thong; long glitchpants;
✿ prim parts (mod/copy): sculpted chest cloths decorated with wisteria vines and flowers;
✿ 2 slightly different flexi prim skirts with sculpted folds decorated with wisteria vines and flowers;
✿ L & R upper leg long skirt pieces (sculpted folds & flexi prims);
✿ L & R upper leg short skirt pieces (sculpted folds & flexi prims);
✿ L & R sleeves decorated with wisteria flowers.

The matching wreath and sandals are sold separately. Also, I added the wings from Fancy Fairy because I decided I wanted to be a faerie for a change. The outfit comes in both blue and purple.

Sunny April

Sunny, cheerful, colorful, spring, Easter! Just a few words that describe Elvina Ewing's April Easter outfit. This was so much fun to wear and to take pictures in. What's nice, but typical of the versatility of Elvina's designs, is that you have a choice of 2 skirts or bloomers along with 3 coordinting top choices. This design is so rich in color and comes with a beautiful head and waist wreath. The shoes are also Elvina's, but not included. Here is Elvina's list of what's included from the marketplace:

In this set:
✿ shirt on undershirt and shirt layers;
✿ dress bodice on shirt and jacket layers;
✿ shirt + bodice in one on undershirt, shirt and jacket layers;
✿ underpants;
✿ stockings;
✿ sculpted prim skirt with apron, lace underskirt, daisies and bow at the back;
✿ flexi prim skirt with lace underskirt and bow at the back;
✿ sculpted prim daisies belt;
✿ sculpted prim bloomers with bows at the front and back;

Elvina Did It Again!

Elvina Ewing of Caverna Obscura did it again with one of her newer designs called Sorcerer's Apprentice. I spotted this in her blog (listed under fantasy to the right) and....well here we are :) I think the first thing that attracted my attention was the beautiful shade of blue! Blue is my favorite color anyway, then with it applied to an elven style I've always loved (more tailored with pants), how could I go wrong? Every time I acquire one of Elvina's designs, it always looks just as good or better than in the pictures...I've never been unhappy with a single one. This one has a lovely casual and tailored look of blue velvet sprinkled with gorgeous purple jewels here and there. As do many of Elvina's designs, this outfit comes with the boots and also an apprentice belt with scrolls, potion vials, pouches and a spellbook. A delicious buy indeed!

Arwen's Creations: Lirimaer

The last in my Arwen blog series is a gown called Lirimaer. It's another gorgeous, versatile design full of rich, detailed trim and many optional pieces. Here is Arwen's marketplace description:

"Lirimaer" is Elven-inspired. The name "Lirimaer" means "Lovely One" in Elvish, and you will be lovely in this 21 piece ensemble crafted from white velvet with gold accents. The outfit includes 3 skirts, golden head circlet, waist circlet, necklace, sculpted shoes (alpha layer enabled, so please be sure your viewer supports alpha layers - no invisiprims were used), flowing sleeves, high neck with button closure, and lovely curved rim veil for Freewoman roleplayers.

This gown can be as revealing or as modest as your roleplay needs demand: The offshoulder blouse is cut with a low neck and back; the undershirt is a scoop neck (collar bone revealed) with 3/4 sleeves (to provide a bit more modesty). They look great individually, or, layered together. The jacket layer is done as a waistwrap and looks lovely over either the blouse, the undershirt, or both.

This gown comes in 23 wonderful color combinations and can be found at Arwen Serpente's store, Arwen's Creations.

Arwen's Creations: Cerridwen

This time I am focusing on another beautiful gown from Arwen's Creations called Cerridwen. When I was in the store, this one stood out because of the simple yet detailed and lovely styling. I also love the color combination I chose, green and brown (called pear and pinecone). These colors have always been some of my favorites because they're so befitting of a forest elf, plus they are just naturally pretty, representing true nature. I love all of Arwen's designs because they all look and feel so realistic, from the period look to the fabric itself. This one is no exception, plus it can be worn casually or otherwise, as it has contains many different pieces and ways to wear them. It also comes in 18 amazing color combinations. Here is Arwen's writeup in the Marketplace:

"Cerridwen" is a complete 16-piece Ladies ensemble for Medieval, Fantasy, or Rustic roleplay. The ensemble includes extremely detailed clothing layers (Jacket, blouse, high neck white undershirt that is not visible in the pictures, pants, underpants, and wrist length gloves), 3 skirts (1 single layer, 1 single layer with draped front and built in belt, and 1 double layer), scrunchy ¾ sleeves, shoulder pads, Cape, belt with scissors, pouch, and lock & keys, and an opaque draped veil.

Arwen's Creations: Morgan

Knights on white horses, Camelot, castles, and medieval are a few words that come to mind when browsing Arwen Serpente's beautiful designs. I plan to do a series of blogs showcasing some of my favorite creations by Arwen. They are amazingly detailed, authentic, and of high quality materials. She is so creative on how she crafts and places each and every component! All designs have many optional pieces, which I have tried to show below in my pictures. There are three different style skirts and different bodice options, thus different looks to achieve! Here is Arwen's description from the marketplace:

"Morgan" is a 20-piece ensemble featuring 3 skirts (High Waist, Low Waist, and Low Waist with Train), elaborate leather Neckpiece, jeweled Headpiece/Crown (also a gold and silver version is included), detailed leather belt, puffed sleeves, shoulder pads, laced cuffs, and opaque veil. All of the clothing layers are no modify, except the undershirt which is a simple semi-sheer, high neck undershirt with modify permissions so you can tint it and use it with any outfit you want.

The outfit comes in 8 gorgeous and rich colors...this one being Periwinkle Blue. Please visit Arwen's wonderful store in world, "Arwen's Creations".
