This may seem like an odd thing to post, but SECOND SPACES contribution to Fifty Linden Friday this week was an absolute must have!
After all the germs, snot and mucus that I’ve been battling in real life it seemed only fair that I should have to do the same in Second Life.
I do love a good prop set, and this one is no exception, and of course costs just L$50 from Second Spaces.
I just HAVE to tell you about these amazing Gifting Bags from Zinnia Karu.
Zinnias is a fantastic store and a firm favourite of mine. The owner, Zinnia Karu, designs beautiful furniture and homewares with a South Western/Mexican theme and the colours that she uses in her work are always zesty and eye-popping. It’s impossible to gaze upon her creations without a smile upon your chops. Well, her latest release is perfect for popping under your Christmas tree and will look sensational too. (There, I said it. Christmas has been mentioned on the blog.)
These ‘Gacha Gifting Bags’ are the perfect solution to the age-old question of what to do with your Gacha doubles. Deleting them is a waste, so why not pop them into one of these transferable bags and gift them to a friend?
The bags are actually Gacha prizes themselves; for L$25 you can play to win one of six beautifully decorated bags. There are two extra special rares as well, which are a little more fancy than the others with some extra decorations added to the ribbons on the bag. Don’t they look sweet? I really like them; such a simple item but one that really does look rather special indeed.
What will you gift in these bags? Pop over to Zinnias at The Cookie Jar to get yours!
Halloween may be over, but Horrorfest 2013 is still going strong and raising lots of lovely cash for The Epilepsy Therapy Project. The event doesn’t finish until November 8th, and I urge you to go if you haven’t visited yet.
Of course, now that the Samhain season has passed, you may be feeling that the time for buying the spooky wares on display has ended, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Many of the items have lasting appeal and can be adapted to suit different looks and outfits. Here is a couple of examples to get you going. In the picture above I’m sporting the FRI.DAY ‘Raven’ hood while I enjoy an Autumnal jaunt in the woods. I’ve slipped it over the COQUET ‘Miranda’ frock that I picked up at this round of FAMESHED, but you can add it to a variety of outfits and it remains really effective. Of course, you can wear it as part of a role-play set-up too; add a quiver of arrows, and you’re well on your way to evoking the spirit of a famous woodland outlaw.
Here’s another example; I added my DRD ‘Skeletonhands’ necklace to a jumper by ERRATIC and some leggings from NYLON OUTFITTERS to conjure up a spooky everyday look that works whatever the season.
What I’m trying to get across here is that even though the theme may be Horror, it doesn’t have to be restricted to October and the darker months of the year; in Second Life anything goes after all!
Taxi to Horrorfest 2013? Here you go..
A Kitty Quicky for you: Run, don’t walk and get yourself to the ‘Limited Bazaar’ for some original and limited, obviously, fashion items.
I spied this epic E-CLIPSE ‘Hester’ top on Heidi Volare’s wonderful ‘The Fashionable Heart’ blog, and zoomed on over to check it out for myself.
Fortunately there are a few left, so I opted for this lovely ‘Terra’ version of the top, which is sort of a cowl-necked jumper and shirt all rolled into one. It’s really lovely; I teamed mine with shorts for a casual look while I romp about in the woods, whereas Heidi opted for a smarter look with hers. Either way it’s a cracking find and very cheap too, so you really ought to go and buy one before they sell out!
