Meanwhile....In Toy Town

Meanwhile... in Toy Town, the elves are enjoying a few days of play and rest before getting down to the business of toys for next Christmas. Dolly is also enjoying play and can't resist the cuteness of the new kittens.

OK so when I did the pic for this post I actually had much more story in mind, but as I finished it at 5am in the morning and preferred bed to blogging at that time I didn't get anything down. So, as you can guess it kinda went out of my head lol. I'll let you finish it off yourselves ;)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I'd planned to do a festive post before the big day (so many awesome seasonal goodies out there at current events) but it never happened due to holidays being amazingly busy so far!

Anyway the items in this post work well for the rest of winter too! Starting with the enchanting paper trees and gingerbread house by Artisan Fantasy, which are available at We Love Roleplay. The gingerbread house is actually much smaller as standard size and would look awesome inside a cosy kitchen etc. with other pieces available as part of the set. But for Toy Town of course, I made it a lil' bigger. WLRP ends last day of the Dec and until then, all the items at the event are discounted 25-50%. There is no WLRP in Jan so make sure you get your fill of fantasy and RP goodies there in Dec!

The adorable kittens are by Jian and can be found at the Winter Gacha Event. The commons are wearable and come in lots of different versions, including the ginger tabby, brown tabby and black kittens shown. They are animated too, making them extra cute. There are 3 rare decor pieces, which include the kitten in the gift box shown below.

Also, for more gacha goodness, check out May's Soul at the Midwinter Fair until 31st Dec, which is where you'll find these cheeky little elves for 40L per play.

Seeking Sunlight

I've been looking forward to doing a pic with the stuff in this post for a few weeks now but real life has been crazy crazy... so eventually I got to it... 
The outfit is by Zenith at December's round of We Love RP and includes the dress with belt and sleeves and there's a gift necklace too! The dress comes in 5 colours and each includes colour HUD for the belt. It's designed especially for Maitreya Lara mesh body. I absolutely adore the little details of the time-travelling trinkets on the belt and the each fold and ruffle in the dress fabric is perfect to create amazing realism. 
The crown head accessory can also be found at WLRP and this is by .Enfant Terrible. who has returned in awesome style! 'Emma's Halo' is available in both gold and silver and can also be worn with an optional veil (not shown). Look closely for the exquisite details!
The tears add-on are a group gift at WLRP and can be found with many other amazing gifts under the Christmas trees at the event until the end of the month!

The beautiful decor is by {anc} at the current round of The Arcade and aki has really outdone himself once again with this stunning 'No Limits' collection.

Golden Angel

The Winter Gacha Festival opens on Saturday 12th Dec and Astralia has created a gorgeous set of angel accessories. The rares are the wings and headpiece shown in the pic below, which come with a colour HUD to change between the Gold/Red version and the Silver/Black version. The commons are matching accessories including the ribbon bracelets, mask and sceptre, as well as a common version of the wings. The detailing on the texture of the flower petals is simply divine!

We Love Roleplay is still going on and that's where you'll find this intricately detailed necklace by Empyrean Forge, perfect for those who love astronomy, interesting accessories or just beautiful jewellery! A HUD is included enabling you change the colour of the material and the gems. 

Truth is also taking part in December's WLRP and has released 'Solace' - A beautiful long hairstyle with braided sections. The bangs are optional, as is the head jewellery that comes with it.

All the items at WLRP are discounted by 25-50% and for this special Christmas round you'll also find group gifts around the four festive trees at the site. In addition, there is a WLRP hunt with some awesome prizes!

Glam Affair has released new skin appliers for Lelutka mesh heads at the current round of Collabor88. 'Ruth' has natural looking brows and quite a different lip shape compared to previous appliers (imo anyway!). A large range of skin tones are available and each tone includes 7 different brow colours plus no brow option, 8 lip gloss appliers and 8 eye makeup appliers. You can of course choose to wear the 'clean' version of the skin too!

I'll add the LM to Winter Gacha as soon as it opens!

Ice Queen

The December round of We Love RP is here! Full of fantasy goodies for your Second Life and some gifties around the tree's too for WLRP group members ;)
Glam Affair has released some more appliers for Logo mesh heads in one of my favourite skin tones - Polar! There are 5 new make-ups for the Sia Ice Queen range and all are beautiful! 
Glam Affair also has some new 'deco' eyelashes at WLRP in 2 different versions and a variety of colours.

CerberusXing has released the 'Ice Nails' at the latest round of this event. There are versions included to fit Maitreya, Belleza, SLink Elegant 1 and TMP male and female. Also included are appliers for frostbitten fingers which are super cool (pun intended). However... I'm a complete douche and didn't notice the layer wasn't showing after relogging before the pic and was way too late when I did notice. So, you can't see them on the pic... but really, they're super cool silver fingers!

{anc} has created some animated and floating snow for December's WLRP as well as some ground snow versions. Available in the more standard snowy colour of white, it also comes in other fairy-like colours too! It's only just noticeable in the pic, but stunning when you see it inworld.

As always, you can find everything at WLRP discounted by 25-50%.

The stunning dress I'm wearing is by Dead Dollz. This is the full gown version that can be found at Winter Trend. However, you can also pick it up as a mini-dress version at WLRP. Different colours are available and it's made exclusively to fit Maitreya Lara mesh body. I love love love the details in the texture of this dress and adore the sheer top half! Sooo gorgeous!

The Liaison Collaborative Gacha Garden opens on 7th Dec and Zibska has released the 'Lore' collection, which includes circlets (with orbits), collar & earring sets, and shoulder pieces (with orbits). The rare is a full set version, which includes colour HUD. There are 9 commons and 1 rare. Shown below are the circlet, earrings and orbits in the rare HUD version.

The hair I'm wearing is by Tableau Vivant is the rare in their 'Starry Night' collection at The Arcade. There are 3 packs of the rare available, each containing 2 colour HUDs. I love this hair for the purpose of pictures but what makes its especially lovely is the 'blowing' animation for those wintry days outdoors in SL ;)
