0018 - Majestic surrender

Yesterday was the Glance Fashion Award 2011 event, and "The White Armory" was one of the nomenees for the best new designer. I was waiting for the results to write my blog afterwards, and actually I was quite convinced that TWA is going to win - inexplicably they didnt. For me they are the winners, because Bee Colton really makes wonderful gowns.

The following pictures show the new group gift "Majestic surrender". Im a bit late with the publication of this blog, because I also had to get a gift from Unique Megastore: it is a new Complete Avatar-set for all of you that like Na'vi-shapes. I really like that one a lot, because the special Na'vi-eyes are included. But first let me present you the "Majestic surrender" ;) 

The Majestic surrender gown is available with two skirt options - you can
wear it with or without train.

I love the details of the texture and
the cloak. 

The Aquene Hair from A&A is really
nicely made.

The brown-green eyes are a subscribo gift from amacci.

The silky skin is a hunt gift from Natural Beauty. The pretty Tiara is from
Glad Rags. The inworld-shop closed last week, but some items are
still available on marketplace.

• Skin: "Olga (tan-beige)" from Natural Beauty (hunt gift from the flighty february hunt - should be available until the 6th of march)
• Hair: "Aquene" (darkbrown) from Alli&Ali, available on marketplace (1L, Promo)
• Eyes: "InSight - brown-green eyes" from amacci (subscribo gift - you will receive several eyes, and also some sparkle-attachement for the eyes)
• Headgear: "Diamond Tiara" from Glad Rags, available on the marketplace (5L - the inworld shop closed a couple of days ago)
• Outfit: "Majestic surrender gown" from The White Armory (group gift)

0017 - Neytiri

At the moment, there are many nice skin-gifts to be found, not least because of the skin fair. But also outside the fair, designers offer some very special items. At the Unique Megastore for example you can find a beautiful Na'vi skin - it is actually a complete avatar, with shape, skin, tail, eyes.

The complete Na'vi-Avatar is a gift from Unique Megastore.
The outfit is from Yasum.  

These bracelets I found on the marketplace. 

I like the details on this pretty skin. But there is another reason, why I love
this complete avatar-set: the typical na'vi-eyes are included!

• Complete Avatar: Na'vi "Avatar" from Unique Megastore (free gift - the shape, skin, tail and the eyes (!) are included)
• Hair: "EFB01" (white) from -dDx-, available at the marketplace (1L, the hair is white, but it is modifiable, so you can tint the hair with some dark grey colour)
• Outfit: "Ripped green" from Yasum (group gift. Group gift boards are scattered all around the shop. This outfit you can find on the ground floor, not in the freebie area in the sky)
• Bracelets (long): Leather bracelets, available on marketplace (5L, 2 pieces for left and right forearm)
• Bracelets (short): "Braided leather bracelets" availabe on marketplace (1L)

0016 - In the cavern

Well, some of you might say, that todays outfits dont fit in my blog, because they are not truely free. But probably you will change your mind. All outfits, that I show you today are from Caverna Obscura.
Two days ago, Elvina Ewing, the designer and owner of CO changed the items in her lucky boards. Each month she adds up to 8 or 9 new, fabulous outfits or accessories. The boards are group-only!

** GROUP INVITE to Caverna Obscura - IMPORTANT!

To become a member of the group, you need to be a customer! If you want to get an invite, contact Elvina Ewing with the transaction info of your recent purchase at the CO-shop (at least L$250 worth), or send her a picture of yourself, wearing something by Caverna Obscura, that is not available at the Lucky Boards. You wont get an invite, by telling Elvina, that you have formerly been a member, and that you accidentaly deleted the group. But trust me: even if you spend L$500 or more, this will be a good bargain. Dont forget: you will receive about 100 fantastic gifts each year! And being a member of the CO-group really is something exclusive ;) So what can you find at her shop, apart from the Lucky Board items... for example this:

IVORY DJINNIE - NEW RELEASE (not free)

This wonderful and really unique outfit is a new release of Elvina. Personally, I havent seen any similar dress in SL. This Djinnie outift is an example of her creativity and her ability. The complete outfit is L$ 1250. You can also buy the outfit only, which is L$ 695, the shoes for L$ 275 and the veil and tiara for L$ 299. This or other stunning creations you can find at her mainshop.

0015 - Snail mail

Okies... this time I started to assemble an outfit, by choosing the ears first! Yes... the ears :P. Now thanks to Roodvosje Rosse, who's the diligent author of the great Go dutch ! blog, I found these funny elf-ears, with a sneaking snail on... Gary to be precisely. Thanks for the hint Rood ;)...  I really love those :). I added one of the several skins from the Skin Fair and a dress I found at Deviance yesterday (but it seems the dress is available there since some time allready ;)...)... nevertheless I blog it, as I like it. 


"Yumm, yumm... now doesnt this rose just look delicious?"
Gary is funny, ehhh? But this cute teal-coloured snail on my ear tickles...

This pretty dress is from Delicious... and its worth eating some poisened
or wormy apples, to get it from the apple bop-lucky dip ;)

The dress comes with different skirt and ruffle-options and
with the cute flower-basket.

These shoes are a Dollarbie from
Sole Sisters...

This skin was a Skin Fair gift from JeSyLiLO, the hair is
a freebie from Exile and the eyes from MADesign.

• Shape: "Blue bell shape" from Deviance (is part of the free outfit!)

0014 - TNT Wings

Now two days in a row I wanted to blog about a certain outfit, searched fitting accessories and made some nice pics, and again I realised, that someone else allready wrote about the same dress a couple of hours earlier... yayyyy! So... I deleted all my work. That means, its time for a TNT-post. I decided to write something about wings... because there is more to say about wings then only: wow! 

1. Scripted Naida in Red Wings from *IW* - I like the texture. 

  As a fairy, Im always looking for some nice wings, even if I started to make some wings myself. I found lots of inflexible wings, that were like some stiff boards. Honestly... wearing such wings doesnt make you look very fairy like, even if some nice textures have been used for the wings. So its a good bet to find flexible wings, or inflexible wings that are modifiy, so you can add some flexibility yourself.

2. Both the Sunset Fairy Wings,
aswell as...

3. ...the Rainbow Wings, you can find
at Deviance.

4. Nicely animated Kimono Bat Wings.

Some people like animated wings, that are for example flapping as soon as you touch them. Depending on the script or the tool that was used to animate the wings, that can be quite pretty. In some cases the scripted wings have kind of nice, liquid movements (f.e. the Kimono Bat Wings, you can see above). Others have jerky movements, which is as ungainly as inflexible wings. So if some designers offer scripted wings, you should try to get a demo to see, if you like the movements, otherwise you will probably be disappointed. There are - by the way - also wings with special scripts (f.e. xcite!-compatible wings). Be aware that scripted items are generally producing lag (more or less - depending on the script).

6. Funny, bubbly wings.

5. Particle wings... pretty aswell.

7. Butterfly Wings from Frozen Night

1. "Naida in Red Wings" from Inga Wind Clothing (part of a complete outfit - hunt-gift from the "V for Valentines hunt", scripted wings, unfortunately no-mod)
2. "Sunset Fairy Wings" from Deviance (Apple bob item... kind of a lucky dip ;)...)
3. "Rainbow Wings" from Deviance (free gift)
4. "Kimono Bat Wings" from Seven's Selections (free gift - not easy to find... its on the wall of the "Flexi Flutter Wings" right under the "send as a gift"-board... a very, very small "button")
5. "Particle flexi wings", available on marketplace (0L)
6. "Dusk wings" from Wishbox (free gift)
7. "Butterfly wings" from Frozen night (free gift)

0013 - Heavenly Creature

Today I was at Vanity Universe, where the 2011 skin fair takes place... my first fair :). But I was warned, that it would be laggy, and so I didnt care and searched for some nice skins. And what I found was definitely angelique. All those skins of different designers are real masterpieces and you can see a new generation of beautiful skins. There are also a few gifts, and there is one that really catched my eye. It is from YS & YS... judge yourself...

This stunning, angelique outfit (with gloves) is a gift from Frozen Night. 

This opalescent skin is a gift from YS & YS and is available at the skin fair.
The eyes are from "By snow" and the hair  is a creation of A&A.

The wings (with particles) you can find at Frozen Night aswell.
By the way: the particle-halo is part of the outfit. 

Just like an angel...

• Shape: "Miranda", available on marketplace (free, allready used it for my blog-post from yesterday ;)...)
• Skin: "Susan" from YS & YS, available at the Skin Fair 2011 (free, you will also receive 3 hairbases)
• Eyes: "Arcana eyes" from "By snow", available at the marketplace (1L)
• Hair: "Naomi (Platinum)" from A&A, available here (MM-board) *
• Outfit: "Baby feather angel" from Frozen Night (free, the giftbox is outside on a small table)
• Wings: "Feather angel wings" from Frozen Night (free, inside the shop on a wall, on the right side of the entrance)

* IMPORTANT: A&A has MM-boards all over the grid! At the mainstore (near the MM-board) you can get a notecard with informations, where exactly you can find certain hair-styles. So if you dont find the Naomi Platinum hair at the location I mentioned, then they probably moved it to another location. Just check the notecard to find it ;) 

0012 - Jaded Eclipse

Just quick... as Im quite busy in RL today ;). Even if other blogs allready wrote about it... here is the new group gift from The White Armory: Jaded Eclipse. Most blogs showed the "fully equiped" gown... with all skirt options. Just to show you... there are several skirt options... and thats the one I like most ;)

Hair from Damselfly, skin from Essences, eyes from Amacci...

• Shape: "Miranda", available on marketplace (free)

• Outfit: "Jaded Eclipse" from The White Armory (group gift)

0011 - Twighlight

Ok, I promised to present two outfits from shack today. So here is the second one ;) Im sorry for the delay. But at the moment I have some "technical problems", because my clothes dissapear all the time, and Im either ruthed or looking like Mrs. Grey *grmpf*. I cant say its easy to try on clothes, or to make pictures in such a situation... :P.
Now here's the second dress... and actually a third one from another place aswell. This other dress is a group gift from World's End. I didnt plan to write about the "La Nuit du chasseur"-outfit that soon, because it has a similiar cut/pattern like the dress from Baiastice (post no. 0001). But... the dress from shack was made for gor girls, so I had to find some accessories I can add to that outfit, to make it more vamp-like ;). The dress from World's End has a really nice collar (not scripted - it is just fashionable), that I wanted to use with the Edibe-dress, so I decided to write about the "La Nuit du chasseur"-outfit nevertheless. But first some pics of the Shack-Outfit:
-

The Edibe-dress from Shack is made of dark grey/black leather.
The shoes I found on marketplace...

The torso-tattoo is a gift from Dream Ink, the Ali twighlight
hair is available at Exile.

Both the eyes and the tears-tattoo are finds from the marketplace. The skin
is from sVs (see post no.0002) and the collar is part of a complete outfit from
"World's End Garden" (see next dress).

• Hair: "Ali" from Exile (free)
• Eyes: "Silver X2 eyes", available on marketplace (2L, you receive a fatpack with 11 different eyes)
• Face-Tattoo: "Tears", available on marketplace (free)
• Torso-Tattoo: "T.E.S.22-9" from Dream Ink (free, this tattoo was a christmas gift, and is still available, there are also other gift-boxes)
• Shoes: Grey highheels, available on marketplace (1L)
• Outfit: "Edibe (black)" from Shack (Lucky Board - there are five boards, the dress is in the first board from the left) *
• Tights: Black tights from W&T, available on the marketplace (1L) *
• Collar: Is part of the complete outfit "La Nuit du Chasseur", available at World's End Garden (group gift - when you arrive a the "garden" you need to find the TP to the group gifts)

* This outfit is delivered without underpants or pants (the pants-layer is used for the bodice-bottom). So you need to find some underwear or leggins, if you dont like that kind of "open-air"-feeling ;). I found some black tights (underwear-layer) on the marketplace. They dont fit perfectly, and probably you allready have something better, but hey... its just a suggestion ;)

The "La Nuit Du Chasseur"-dress is a dream in black for all dark girls!
By the way... in case you dont understand french:
 La Nuit du Chasseur means The night of the hunter ;) 

Oh, and if you didnt recognise it: the pictures were made at barbee...

• Outfit: "La Nuit du chasseur" from World's End Garden (group gift) *

* The collar, the stockings and the gloves are part of the outfit! There is another beautiful black dress available at the World's End Garden, that I didnt show here... just pick it up aswell, when you visit this very special kind of garden ;)
