We're Not Playing Toy Soldiers Anymore

So this week has been one of 'those' weeks and I been slow in getting some pics done... but of course I have been shopping and checking out some of the fab new stuff about.
I am loving the new round of The Fantasy Collective, with so many industrial-themed goodies on offer!
May's Soul has this fab leather collar and pauldrons combo, which can be used as a cool accessory or as a sexy top! There are 3 neutral colours available - black, white and brown - at 120L each or 300L for the fatpack. 
Axix has a very cool armour & cuffs set available for the event. Its non-rigged mesh so can be resized to fit and comes in 5 different colour options. Price is 125L each or you can pick up the fatpack for 350L.
These boots by COCO are some firm faves of mine and work with this look perfectly I think!
Hope you like the lotd :D

I'm injecting some Industrial Glamour into my sl lotd and blog today with this stunning new gown by Dead Dollz. 

'Octavia' is available in 3 colours - black, white & brown - at The Fantasy Collective. The gown is comprised of 3 separate parts - the skirt, corset and shrug. It's beautifully details and a great fit! I'm wearing with Maitreya mesh body and fits this fine too ;)

Tableau Vivant has created 2 new hair styles especially for the Shiny Shabby event, along with 3 brand new 'frizzy hair' colour huds - 2 natural ones and a colours hud.

omgosh where to start today?

Gorgeous new hair by Truth - 2 new styles out in the mainstore and 'Avena' is one of them. Long, sexy and messed up - It's absolutely stunning!
Kustom 9 started a few days ago and with it Glam Affair introduced the beautiful new 'Alice' skin. I'm not usually a lover of freckles but love the very minimal amount on this skin! There are several makeup options available and 3 skin tones to choose from at this event. However, you can hop over to Shiny Shabby as of tomorrow to find a different makeup range and a couple more tones so there is bound to be something that suits you if you are a lover of Glam Affair skins (or maybe even if it's your first time trying?)
Further to this, there are some new lip appliers for 'Alice' at Shiny Shabby. These are for the new mesh 'Sweet Lips' by [PXL]. These are the first mesh lips I've bought and I liked them straight away - I think they've got a super sexy look about them and don't think they look too cute and babyish like some other mesh mouths do. The fact Glam Affair made the appliers already was bonus for me too! The teeth and piercings are included with a HUD to hide options as you like.
In addition to the main pic I've done (which is edited, yes) I've added pics below which are totally raw. I've used shadows and yes, this does have an effect on the way the mouth blends in with skin (we all know shadows can make meshy things unpretty!) So I've included the extra pics to show you how the mouth looks with a non-shadowed windlight. The top one is with graphics up high (advanced lighting on) and the lower pic is with much lower graphic settings (basic shaders and astmospheric off) so you can get a good idea how you would look with 'normal' looking windlights regardless of your computer capabilities.

~Libertine~ recently released a new couch or should I say "divan" which seats up to 12 people. 'Justine' has both mature and adult versions, with accessories such as hanging chains, table, candleholders and floor chandeliers. Read more about the details of this beautiful set here.

Also, don't forget to check out the February round of We Love Roleplay whilst there is still time, new eyes by IKON and the Cosmetics Fair!!

I'm never quite sure to imagine futuristic fashion myself, I'm just still glad we have much more choice than the jumpsuits you see in the likes of Space 1999 or Star Trek! However, many of the designs featured at this year's Futurewave go a long way in proving creativity, style and high fashion don't have to be lost as we move forward in time!

This new ensemble by Zibska comprises top, panties, skirt and headpiece. It includes a colour change HUD allowing you to adjust colour on 4 different outfit sections separately. 

I'm very much lovin the new shoes by MiaMai - designed for SLink high feet, there are 3 different heel versions are available but the 'Suspension' version is by far by favourite!

The furniture by 22769 ~ [bauwerk] - new for Futurewave - is gorgeous. It's clean, crisp and modern. The sofa's comprise of an inner and outer ring, so the pieces can be put together to make a full circle or snake design if you choose. There are several single animated sits and one of the cutest I've ever seen! I was giggling away as I had my cyber dolly from last weekend 'waiting' and rocking back and forth all cross legged.

The Fantasy Gacha Carnival is open and is one of the best rounds for a while imo! If you haven't visited yet, don't panic - it's open for a whole month!

Here is a peek at what is on offer.

May's Soul has 2 gacha machines and both are fabulous. One machine contains the very first hair by May and I love it!! Girls and boys versions available, this hair is unrigged and resizeable, samurai style with a couple of accessories for rare prizes!

The other machine contains this gorgeous outfit. The cloth comes in several colours and all incorporate the forest branch. The rare prizes are the gold wings, butterfly jar (with holding pose) and leg branch.

{anc} has once again brought a wonderfully quirky creation to the FGC. These mannequins come in several variations with 4 rare versions to win. The majority contain 23 single poses (for 2 people), with the 2 mermaid rares containing 20 single poses, 11 cuddles and 7 adult animations.

I've also just discovered that Letis has updated practically all tattoos instore with appliers for most mesh body bits, including Belleza, SLink Physique and TMP (yes, I realise I may be a bit behind with this news but its good all the same!). If you've previously purchased the tattoo with just the standard layers etc, go to the redelivery terminal instore and you'll get the new version with all appliers. Very awesome - thank you Letis!

And last thing to mention today, some fabulous recent releases by Roquai poses. Dance 4 is part of a couples pose (with dance 5) but works equally well as a standalone pose! Grab the new Roquai LM below!

OK I'm done talking... here's the pic :P

Power Up Dolly! Futurewave Is Here....

Futurewave is open and lots of galactic and cyber goodies await you shoppers!

I couldn't resist hitting the club for my DJ set in this outfit tonight and this was a comment I got >> Its like...the lead of Angelspit became an elf, then went on a cyber adventure.

It wasn't the inspiration but I totally agree and loving the comment!! lol

Check out the mesh android legs by Star Quality, which I think are altogether quite fabulous. There are 3 different foots options - ballet heel (shown), tiptoe heels and wedge heels. There is also a matching android arm set available (not shown).

Sakide has a new dress, available in both black and white, which includes HUD-driven loops. There are two loops you can colour-change (I have one colour and one black in the pics shown). 

Chaos, Panic and Disorder has brought some great accessories to the event, including this implant from the 'Nemesis' set. Colour HUD also included with this so you can be sure to get it matched to your cyber look!

I 'borrowed' the plug in tails by CerberusXing to power dolly up for the top pic. They are non-rigged so can be positioned as desired and come with 5 different static variations, as well as the scripted one!

Loving the 'Into Dark Woods' prop/sim-landscaping set by ~*Sweet Revolutions*~, which is continued at this round of We Love Roleplay. This wolf has sounds you can switch on/off and comes in his own dark hollowed out tree! The grass is only 1 prim and covers a really good sized area, perfect ground covering for dark-themed places!

hey everyone =)

Truth has new hair out and I instantly fell in love with this double braided style called 'Wren'. It has a very natural 'mussed up' kinda look, like you're in breeze and includes a detachable non-rigged feathers accessory. You can pick it up in the Truth mainstore!

The eighth of the month brings a new round of Collabor88 and I found this new ensemble by Foxes sooo cute. There are lots of different texture options available and the dress and cardigan are separate attachments.

Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend!

Gecko

So, ever wondered what happens when you let 3 geckos loose in the garden with some lightbulbs...?

Check out the awesome new mesh gecko avatars by [avatarium]

These cute little guys are available in 4 different colour variations and they work with your normal AO (or dance hud etc!) Also includes super-cute animated tongue!

Roquai poses created a brand new fun and quirky pose set including wearable prop for this fab avatar AND there are also versions of the poses included with an extra large bulb for you human-sized and shaped peeps too :P

The lightbulb comes in different colours and includes animated propeller. You can choose to rez or wear (HUD included to switch pose whilst wearing). You can even fly around on the wearable ones and get into all kinds of gecko trouble :P

Let Go

hello peeps!
Where to start today? Well first I'll talk about the fabulous new chair by He La. I first saw the pics of this about a week or so ago on Flickr and was not disappointed when I got the real thing. This lovely hanging chair makes a beautiful ornamental piece and of course is functioning furniture as well with single and couple sits. There are 3 colours available - black, silver and gold. You'll this at the furniture section of the mainstore - turn right at the entrance to the clothing store!

Dead Dollz has some lovely new strapless gowns and dresses available for the 'With Love Fair'. 'Beloved' is available in 2 lengths and has a sexy low cut back with bow detail. The gown is 550L and the dress is 350L, with both available in choice of colours and each colour-pack containing 2 versions.

We Love Roleplay commences for another round and Zibska has an impressive new jewellery set. The different sections are colour-changeable via a HUD which gives plenty of different options and its resizeable too - which means guys can make the necklace fit also ;)
This necklace works well for the finishes touches to an elegant look or as part of a fantasy/rp themed-outfit.

hey peeps! 
We have a new round of We Love Roleplay just around the corner and I have  couple of previews here for you!

There are 3 different colour huds to choose from and you can pick them up for 225L each (25% off regular price) for the duration of the event.
[The Forge] never fails to impress and I love the new Banshee armour, which is available in both brown and black. It's non-rigged so you can get the right fit for your avi!

And we have lots of other events starting for beginning of month too - one of which is the Fashion Fair 2015, which runs throughout February. This is where you'll find these stunning stylish heels by Azoury. Available in 4 different colours, they are made to fit both SLink high and Belleza feet. Grab them at 249L per pair!
