Breezy Easy

I love Evangeline Miles' design called Nereida. It wears so well and the fit is outstanding, plus the fabric is soft and breezy. I purchased it in Coral, but it also comes in Pearl, Seafoam (bright blue), Anemone (Periwinkle), Wasabi (green) and Flotsam (black) . I just love Evie's Closet because every one of her designs is beautiful in some way. Whether it's the color tones (including the way she mixes colors in one outfit), the detailed trims, the cut, or the way the design fits and flows on the body, she definitely continues to create the highest quality and truly original pieces. Nereida is an example of how good the fit is, plus the mix of colors used and the way the skirt hangs and flows is lovely. When you purchase one of the designs, you get a short and long skirt, along with optional pants to go with the shorter skirt. Even the arm wraps in a sheer feminine fabric are gorgeous! I bought a few other pieces when I visited Evie's Closet, so I'm sure I'll be featuring them soon, so stay tuned :)

Sandcastles and Sunsets...Taking in Every Last Drop of Summer

Summer's end is near, so I decided to go take advantage of some time on the beach before the cool weather sets in. I went to the Elven Forest beach in Blossom and stayed there from mid-afternoon until sunset. I wore my new white dragon elf dress called Esedi by Selina Forder of Elvenbreath. This is one of several she's working on from her "Dragon" line. What a beautiful, versatile dress of high quality fabric...tough like a dragon's skin :) The cape is optional, but is so moveable and light, you barely know it's there. I stayed in the outfit all day and while I was there, I collected shells, layed on the sand, walked the beach, and built a BIG sand castle! What a great day it was!

Elven Forest: Simply Beautiful With A Touch of Magic

I was in search of elven clothes and as I was looking, I ran across a listing for "Elven Forest" in SL search for Places. That "Teleport" button is just too easy to use, because of course I had to click it and explore as soon as possible. When I arrived, I was on a wooden deck with several booths around me full of little stores. Up ahead, I could see beautiful, tall, lush trees lining the forest that lay beyond. Forget the fact my original intention was to shop, and also forget the fact an SL "shopaholic" was surrounded by stores...I felt drawn to the dark and mysterious forest that relentlessly invited me to enter. I walked toward the border of trees, which had a sign out front, "Elven Forest". Everything was done right, from the forest trees to the font used on the sign to the pretty quaint lighting around the entrance. Without hesitation, I began my walk into the forest and there were so many brick trails, bridges and open grassland to discover, I didn't know where to start! Right after you walk in and then go straight to the center, there's a little social area where you can do a group dance, sit on a unicorn or a mushroom, and view a beautiful pond. It took me more than once to discover little hidden areas, like a cave behind a waterfall with poseballs and a little beach area past the forest and down a small trail. The area is full of private AND social areas with poseballs in abundance, so a fun place for friends or couples' romance. The areas consist of treehouses, little pools, castles, floating lotus flowers, caves, waterfalls, beaches, a watchtower, and many many more features. There's also a few different "up in the sky" areas you must check out. It's more fun to discover everything yourself, and well worth the visit. You must know that you can't fly from place to place, you have to walk. This is done for the sake of privacy for couples and to add to the exploring experience. They do have a great teleport system when you first arrive. Right before you get to the entrance among the trees, this teleporter lists every main area in Elven Forest. It's a large region, covering 2 sims, Blossom and Jaded Wings. Also, please be forewarned, this is an M-rated area and does allow nudity.

I won't tell anymore, I will let you discover the fascinating details! Overall, Elven Forest was created with love and care, full of class, beauty and magic.
