The Fairelands Return

It's a very special and magical time of year, the time when The Fairelands return to Second Life, rising from the mists and bringing enchanting creations to us at The Fantasy Faire in aid of Relay for Life. 

Astrid's Nemeton

There are 15 beautiful sims to explore, filled with shops, quests, arts and entertainment. Events include the literary festival, dance parties with live DJs, roleplay and roleplay classes.

The Fantasy Faire opens today and will continue through to 29th April officially, or whenever the mists reclaim then, so be sure to visit during this time! Many, many amazing vendors have set up shop and created some wonderful fantasy and roleplay items, many of which will donate to the wonderful cause. The full RFL shopping list can be found here, plus there are many more new releases too!

The Willows of Nienna

One of the beautiful releases created by Belle Epoque to donate to RFL is this commemorative Fantasy Faire crown. It's re-sizeable to fit any avi!

Dolly Treats

So it was time to take dolly on another outing... and came across the 'sweet' winter sim called Fruit Islands Winterland (LM at bottom of post). It's really worth taking a look!

Speaking of dolly... COCO has some free gifts available, including this red slip dress ..but ..it can only be worn on the mesh COCO doll avatar. It's cute as hell so if you have the avatar or are going to buy it... be sure to pick this up too.

Death Row Designs is having a Merry Crisis Gacha Fair and you can pick up some awesome items from Boudoir there. I'm wearing the goodies bag and holly wreath. Also DRD have some pretty cool stuff in the gacha machines too, including these antlers, which come in several varieties.
The boots I'm wearing today are also from DRD and they were this months VIP Group Gift, but are also available in other colours to buy in store.

And when you are done with you gacha fun there... don't forget to head on over to play with some gacha machines at Gothmas by Gaslight! The choker and jewelry set are both from gachas at GxG and the broche i'm wearing is also an exclusive for the event.

It's final curtain for the Jewelry & Accessory Expo but there is still some time to shop! This pretty little bracelet is by [7891.] and is exclusive for the event as part of the Malibu Collection so hurry over there!

Not-So-Innocent Lolita

 *waves* hello again my lovelies! I love this look and I hope you like the LOTD too!

Gothmas By Gaslight is only a couple of days away and I have some beautiful pieces that are exclusive to the event to show you!
As soon as I saw this 2-piece set by Zibska I fell in love with it - ain't it pretty? It comes with lots of colour options via a click menu too.
This cute lil' dress is also at GxG and is by The Little Bat. It's called Holly and there are 10 different colours available. Even better there are 2 fatpacks to grab (light or dark colours) so you can get an awesome deal on them too! The lace ruffle layer at the bottom is separate so dress can be worn with or without.
.la petite morte. has some lovely accessories, including this gothic choker and the eyebrow piercing that I'm wearing. The piercing comes in 3 different colours and I have on the silver.

Don't forget about Jewelry & Accessory Expo which is entering its second week (check weekend event info in the tab at the top of page) and this beautiful necklace is one of the exclusives on offer from [Amarelo Manga].

Don't say his name three times ...

I still have Tim Burton fever and have put together a little 'Tim Burton & Beetlejuice' themed ensemble for today's look! I acquired a few more bits and pieces from this months Horror Haute offerings, this time from Goth1co and The Little Bat.
