The Eyes Have It!

I found some really pretty and good quality face tattoos by Sonia28 Jie of Son!a.  They come in several different styles and colors.  Of course I had to purchase the fatpack for each so I'd have every color!  Each fatpack comes in 6 different colors and the one called Fairy Face Tattoo (my personal favorite)  contains sculpted prim face diamonds.  They range in price from 300 to 400L.  The name of the store is Son!a Luxury Fashion.  Here is the link to the marketplace:  https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/14700/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search[category_id]=&search[maturity_level]=G&search[keywords]=fairy+face+tattoo

Hers and His: Elvenbreath and Dragoneyes

Selina Forder of Elvenbreath recently came out with another beautiful elven outfit of black leather and silver tones. It is classic, but very unique and simply gorgeous. Avana includes the following pieces within the box: jacket, pants, shirt, collar, skirt, upper sleeves, lower sleeves, and shoulderparts. Please stop by her store and see ALL her lovely designs.

Selina has also added another part to her store called Dragoneyes. Tiesto is wearing a design from this store called Saerembor and includes pants, undershirt, shirt, gloves, jacket (belt), armor chest with staps and without straps, belt, fur scarf, details for upperarm, details for forearms, details for upperleg, and dagger (boots not included). It is also made of black leather with silver tones like Avana. Obviously Dragoneyes focuses on men's fantasy clothing and accessories. It is directly across from Elvenbreath at their new location. Not only are her designs a must see, her store set up and grounds are delightful!

Guardian of Secrets

I always have to stop by Selina Forder's store every so often to see what new designs she has come out with. This time I was wanting to do a "darker" blog with the haunted forest Bewitched as the backdrop, so focused on finding something that would go along with this theme. I found a beautiful outfit mainly of velvet called Erestra. Under the name of the design were the words, "Guard of Secrets". I thought how perfect for a shoot at the haunted forest! The outfit has many details and features that make it simply lovely. What I always love is that most of these clothes come with pants AND a skirt, so very versatile! This particular outfit also comes with a gold belt holding a handbell and key to go along with the "Guard of Secrets" description. I took several pictures below so you could see the outfit in different views, with the skirt and pants, and with and without the optional belt. Also at Elvenbreath, I found some classic, but really pretty ballerina shoes that go perfectly with the outfit. The shoes come in many different colors.

The Cottage Boutiques of Enchanted

As many of you may already know, we now have four amazing fantasy boutiques within the cottage at Enchanted of Elven Realm now. I plan to add one more, but would like it to be a designer that sells skins/fantasy accessories. Here are the shops we have now:

Caverna Obscura by Elvina Ewing
Deviance by Surreal LeShelle
Elvenbreath by Selina Forder
Studio Sidhe by Faery Sola

All the above focus mainly on fashion. Studio Sidhe focuses more on poses and pose props, although she also designs jewelry and fashions.

All are located at Enchanted of Elven Realm. Once you tp to the landing point, there is a tp door to the cottage right at the entrance :) Hope to see you there!

The Cottage at Enchanted

Deviance by Surreal LeShelle
Surreal specializes in lovely costumes and gorgeous gowns. For example, she carries a Snow White, Rose Red, Tinker Bell and Alice in Wonderland costume...all very well done!

Studio Sidhe by Faery Sola
Faery is the designer who created the wonderful unicorn pose prop you see out on Enchanted. She has several others too...like the Snow White prop, the moon, and many others that are top quality.

Caverna Obscura by Elvina Ewing
Elvina is one of the masters at creating true fantasy style! She has all kinds of designs that are colorful, beautiful and whimsical. You can't appreciate her work until you see it!

Elvenbreath by Selina Forder
Selina is one of my favorite fantasy designers. Her fantasy wear is lovely, classic and sexy all in one!

Each and every designer is wonderful and top notch at what they do! If you come visit the boutiques, I know you won't be able to resist spending a few Lindens while you're there :P I know I can't, and now I'm really going to have some problems, they're too convenient! hehe

Elvenbreath Faeries

I was able to spend a good amount of time with my sissy Darri today in Second Life for a change, and it was so much fun. We always try to take some pictures together when we're both on since that seems to be a rare occasion. She had the great idea to find an outfit that was the same or similar for the pictures, so off we ventured to Elvenbreath, one of the best fantasy clothing shops around! We ended up here because earlier she had come in game when I was already on and happened to be shopping in the store. I teleported her there and then we ended up both getting off for a bit, but when we went back on, we were already in the store, so just stayed and found the two beautiful faerie sets there :) They're called Fairy Cherry and Narcissy (comes with ballet flats) and both sets have a gorgeous set of flexiwings that actually "glow". Selina Forder, the store owner/designer, is so talented and truly creates quality plus originality. Here is the url to Elvenbreath:

I have found a special place
And magic there abounds
Gardens filled with colors bright
Enchanting fairy sounds

The magic here entwines our hearts
With diamond dust and gold

And the friendships made
Whilst fairies played
grow neither dull nor old

Here the best of friends are made
So many I hold dear
Always there to lend a hand
And sprinkle fairy cheer.

Glam Affair Skin Addiction: Focus on Jadis

Jadis Natural 02A

Yes, I'll admit, I'm addicted to skins! I just love trying new ones as they come out! After trying many brands, I always seem to come back to Glam Affair skins by Aida Ewing. There are so many beautiful, high quality creations out there, and at one time I mentioned another favorite, but I've definitely decided Glam Affair has my old favorite beat now :) The latest I've tried with Glam Affair is called Jadis in Natural (comes in 14 styles) and the Yuki Edition (comes in 6 styles). I also have Eva, Sofia, and Castalia, and every one is gorgeous in its own way, unique with its own style. For a long time Sofia was my all time favorite, now I love the new Jadis skin. She also has a couple of newer ones out called Mary and Sakura (which proceeds will go toward the disaster fund in Japan and the Pacific). Below I've pictured Jadis in Natural and the Yuki Edition skin, along with many of the 25 makeups created for the Yuki Edition, by monica Outlander. I've also pictured two makeup layers by Aida Ewing herself for the regular Jadis line. Beauty, perfection, and quality...that's Glam Affair skins.

Enchanting Elven Style

I saw this beautiful elven outfit at Selina Forder's Elvenbreath recently and, yes, just had to spend my lindens! The colors and the style are just perfect and so traditionally elven, which I love. I think my most favorite part of the whole outfit is the gorgeous puff sleeves with coutouts showing the different color lining underneath, and this is just one of many details within this style. The lovely hunter green and beige colors plus the velvet fabric complete and make this lovely ensemble so wearable!

Nice Contrast: Blue and Black

Blue and black has always been one of my favorite color combinations. It's so striking, beautiful, and any bright color with black looks great, blue just happens to be my favorite color. Selina Forder of Elvenbreath has done it again with this sharp, lovely, and very hip ensemble. This detailed outfit comes with a black vest containing touches of faux fur, pants with small, metal discs down the side and bright blue shirt. It's a great choice for casual wear at any time and truly stands out in the crowd!

Beauty and Versatility Among the Wildflowers

Beauty along with versatility is the name of the game with Selina Forder's latest creation. Keona is of a pretty neutral brown tone and is so versatile, it can be worn year round. The outfit also comes with an optional cape shown below. As always, it has the same Selina trademark details and quality.

The Jar

If I could capture all the enchantment of the forest in a jar,
Then I would open it and let it escape when needed near or far.


I wish I could collect the magic dust and bubbles that sparkle in the breeze, as they make their way in and around the tall, dark trees.

I wish I could pick the kaleidoscopic mushrooms that cover the forest floor,
So many shapes and sizes that glow and adorn.


I wish I could catch the tinkling sound of the fairy flying by,
And the bewitching voice of the mermaid’s lullaby.

I wish I could trap the beams from the twinkling stars and moon above,
Filtering through the wooded forest I love.


I wish I could contain the majestic power of the unicorn
As it stands peacefully on the river bank where it was born.


All the magic of the forest contained in a jar
Would have the power to captivate both near and far.
