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.

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 :)

No Tears Shed for Sad Little Elf Ears

I love trying out all kinds of elf ears! That sounds funny doesn't it? After all, we're all supposed to only have one pair of ears we live with all our lives, right? Well, yes, in a normal, human world that is true. However, this is Second Life, AND it's not necessarily a human world. Another great example of what makes Second Life so appealing, we can be who we want to be and try out as many ears as we want! hehe That's just what I did! In the process, I discovered some really fun elf ears from designer Kioko Kumaki of Panda Express. They're whimsical, cute, fun, well made and a great buy. Now, how can you beat that? On top of all that, the designer has packed each and every pair with great features. With all the ears, you have the ability to change the skin shade to quite a few choices just by clicking the ear itself. I've listed some of my favorite pairs below with pictures of each. Kioko has a few other options not mentioned here, too . I have the store's blog listed to the right under my store/designer blogroll.

RED ALERT: Elf in the City

It's time I leave the forest and go to the big city for a visit. I knew I had to find something besides hunting and casual elven faire, so I chose a chic, sexy red mini I had purchased the other day when I was in my blue mood...I did manage a red dress :P It's perfect! Stylish, modern and a little more befitting of the metropolis I planned to visit.

Made of a high quality textured satin, the beautiful dress shimmered in the city lights.

Even waiting for a taxi can look sexy...the back of the dress was cut and fit well.

The lovely shade of red stood out against a graffiti wall.

Relaxing at the hotel at the evening's end was comfortable in the dress.

Time to return home to the forest. What a fun day and night, but I wouldn't trade my home for anywhere else in the world.

In a Blue Mood

Well, I fell off the wagon yesterday and splurged on some new clothes! My shopaholicism can't be held back for too long you know. This time I was in the mood for some new styles and every time I found something, I noticed I loved it in blue! Imagine that, my favorite color :) I also found a few fall styles and couldn't resist. I gathered my purchases and ventured off to cooler weather. It has been extra hot this summer, so I decided to spend a little time at the lake in the snowy mountains. That's what's SO nice about Second Life, we can go just about anywhere, any time, and any place we want to. Isn't it grand? Beautiful white snow, blue water and blue skies...all to go with my blue mood. Oh no, not as in sad, as in the COLOR. True BLUE :D

Snow falling from blue skies above me...calming azure waters below me...
