Merry Christmas!

I wanted to first thank each and every one of you for your wonderful interest and support of my blog, it's greatly appreciated! Here's wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas holiday! Hope it's your most magical yet :)

Santa's Helper

I know I blog about Elvina Ewing's designs quite often, but you've got to admit they are fantastic and are true, fantasy styles! She has done it again with this lovely and amazing Christmas set! I actually received this outfit as a Christmas gift from none other than my beautiful and sweet friend (and sister), SeleneLily. As with all Elvina's designs, this one has many optional pieces that mix and match in green and red. It comes either red or green as the main color and includes the following:

❆ Clothing layers (no mod/copy): bodice on jacket and shirt layers; striped sweater on undershirt and shirt layers; underpants; stockings; tartan glitch pants on pants and underpants layers; alpha feet layer;
❆ Sculpted prim parts (copy/mod): sweater sleeves & collar;
❆ skirt with jingle bells (static);
❆ flexi tartan skirt;
❆ chest/back ties with flaps and bells;
❆ garters with bells;
❆ mittens with fur;
❆ elven shoes with bells;
❆ striped sock tops with ribbons;
❆ christmas hat with bells.

You can find all of Elvina's designs at her store called Caverna Obscura: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Alligator%20Bayou/43/35/545 plus there is also a smaller version of her store at the market in Enchanted.

Reindeer Games

Well, as always, I'm going crazy with Christmas in SL ...by buying too many outfits and accessories! Christmas is my favorite time of year, so there you have it. I'm trying to let you know my next 2-3 posts will be Christmasey :P

I ran across this cute "reindeer" outfit by SayaNicole Cuttita of Envious Creations recently and had to show you. It's made of a brown and white suede-like material with lovely white fur trim. It also comes with precious candy cane antlers, boots, socks, and bracelets. Please click the pictures below to see it enlarged and more in detail. In the last two pictures below I am wearing antlers by Epic. They are just perfect because they light up and include a Rudolph red nose! I just wanted you to see another optional piece you could use with the outfit.

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!

Fabulous Fur

Elvina Ewing did it again! She is truly the Queen of fantasy wear in Second Life! This amazingly gorgeous ensemble has to be one of her best yet, at least one of my favorites. It's a beautiful fur-lined armor set called Ulfhildr and can be purchased at Elvina's store, Caverna Obscura, or at the marketplace. I don't like real fur in real life, but Second Life is a different story. The outfit comes in Brown or Grey (I'm wearing the Brown) and has 29 total and optional pieces included, including the boots. There are so many different ways you can mix, match, and layer and each and every piece is intricately detailed. The fur itself is so realistic too! This is a must have for any elf or fantasy creature, plus, if you've never visited Caverna Obscura, you are missing out!

Chic Elf

Wow, has it been that long since I've posted a blog? I'm sorry I've been so behind! I've had so much going on in both real life and Second Life lately. In Second Life, the newly renewed gallery is finally done, so please stop by Enchanted and visit when you can :) Okay, now, back to the post :P I happened to spot a gorgeous new outfit called Marlene recently at EMO-tions and had to splurge. I love it because for one, it's very classy and chic, and elves can be both you know! I absolutely love the way this outfit is cut and designed. It's all once piece, but looks like a blouse tucked into slacks. What I absolutely love the most is how the pants follow the lines of your waist and hips with the top of the pants (waistline) hitting just below your chest. It's super flattering and very elegant. There are many optional pieces, including a high collar that can be on or off. It also has just the right touch of feminity with lovely lace trim on the blouse. Overall, the outfit can be worn for business, pleasure, and nice occasions...very versatile indeed :)
