follow the yellow brick road....

A new round of Enchantment opens this weekend....

It's time to follow the yellow brick road because we've all gone to Oz!

There are lots (and lots) of wonderful Second Life creators taking part in this event, with many adorable, wicked and beautiful creations in the theme of 'The  Wizard of Oz'. I love this cute Dorothy-styled dress by *COCO*. There are versions for SLink and Maitreya mesh bodies, the *COCO* FashionDoll, MyDollKit Fitted doll and new Kid doll. 

This new hair-style by TUKINOWAGUMA really helped in creating my Dolly Dorothy look and I set her off following the yellow brick road made by FDD Stories! There are different types of road sections included in the pack to get the layout you need. 

Event opens 12 Noon 13th August!

Runa

It's opening day at The Secret Affair!

Become fashion Vikings as you take a trip to Scandinavia to explore Norse legends and mythology!

Dead Dollz has created the very chic 'Runa' outfit new for the event. It comprises of matching tunic and pants in fitted mesh to maitreya body shape, available in black or brown. The fit is amazing (really loving fitted mesh for Maitreya!) and there was no need for me to use alpha with the tunic top, just alpha on the legs so no unsightly gaps anywhere!

And what's a stylish outfit without the perfect pair of shoes to go with? Azoury never disappoints with stunning, high detail and unique shoe creations and the 'Ruth' shoe matches this round's theme perfectly! Available in 3 colours - black, brown and cream - for Maitreya, Belleza, Eve & SLink feet.

[LAB737] has created some very cool accessories for this round continuing with the nordic rune type theme. The texture work on the mask is amazingly detailed. There are also different options on how to wear the mask depending if you want more or less! You can purchase the mask and staff separately or as a combined pack.

Also I have to give credit to Divine Paine on the amazing build for this event, do make sure you have a good cam around whilst shopping to her great work!

A new round of The Secret Affair has begun and from the depths some startlingly dark and beautiful creations are rising! 

The official theme this round is "from the depths we shall rise" and some of the best creators in Second Life have been hard at work on their latest releases. 

FDD Stories bring you the 'Deidre' gacha, which includes 8 full length skirts (each a different colour) as commons, top as rare, fur collar as rare and corset ultra rare. The textures on the skirt are really beautiful and you can see ho much work went into these - they are fabulous for commons! The rares and ultra all have texture change HUD included to match the skirts. All of the items are fitted mesh.

The Plastik introduces the 'Gloria' Halo, which comes in a huge number of different colour variations! There are 6 different styles for each and I'm wearing the 'Raziel' design, which includes lots of very cool looking floating studs. Each style is also modifiable so you can adjust to make it perfect for the look you want.

If you are in love with gothic and dark scenery and sets, the Fantasy Gacha Carnival is definitely a place you'll be wanting to shop this month. Both Ravenghost and 22769 ~ [bauwerk] have some amazing pieces on offer in their gacha machines and once again I'm marvelling at how awesome the commons are! Ravenghost has done a really outstanding job on his rares and I'm in love with this gothic ruin. There is so much detail included.

Hope you all like the pic and lotd - have fun shopping for the weekend ;)

(update: Duchess Flux captured a wonderful shot of this scene too and you can check out her version here!)

I'm currently very caught up in a post-apocalyptic world, thanks to the current round of The Secret Affair - "The End Times". 
With so many awesome creations though, I'm not even looking to find my way back yet!!
Today is a very unisex post. This fab mask is by MeshedUp and comes in 3 different colour versions. The texturing is super well done and the whole mask is totally badass!! The hooded top by [Stitched] comes in a variety of colours and the is both male and female versions and the black leather skinnies by Tableau Vivant are also available for both guys and girls!

The scenery is this pic can also be found at the event. Death Row Designs have created this awesome ruined building with a very grungy post-apoc hangout area. There are lots of sits and animations (including a very amusing drunken stand - see gyazo gif animation :P). 
The sandbags are part of another building made by 22769 ~ [bauwerk], who also has a very cool gacha to play at the event.
Lastly, check out the awesome backpack by {Reverie}. I did include this in my previous post but its so amazingly detailed I couldn't resist using it again and getting a better shot.

Hope you like the look and the pic! As always, HQ version on my Flickr.
