The Harajuku Bake Sale going on right now until September 17th, so you have 2 days left to buy the goodies!! I picked up a pack of these fun Riddle 'Bake Sale Tops' fatpack, they were super cheap (I think $200L).
[ Fascino hair – Lico (Orchid) and Ayan (Orchid) ]
ALSO…… Fascino hair has re-opened! YAY! However, I totally don't recommend buying the hairstyles if you're not comfortable with modding hair. Typically, most hair will fit with just a few stretches but I suspect that the creator of Fascino has a much longer and narrow head than I do, so it took forever to mod these two hairstyles above (and I changed the prims a lot where I don't even know if it still looks like how the creator intended).
There are 3 sizes in the demo, if the "Small" doesn't fit you, you can count on spending a lot of time modding. Just a helpful tip!!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Spring has arrived on Aurelias, and it’s just the perfect weather for a stroll around town. When I’m not wearing casual outfits, I love to dress up in frilly Victorian-style looks, or my interpretation of it.
I had a grand time today riding the Linden Love Train and meeting some Lindens and Moles at Isle of View. This year is my first time attending the Dunk & Hug a Linden & Mole Event, and I was disappointed that there were only a few Lindens in attendance. It was definitely exciting to pose for a photo with the most popular Linden of all time, Patch Linden. I wanted to meet some of my favorite Lindens on the Concierge team, but they were probably busy working.
I went to Elope Expo a couple weeks ago and ever since then I couldn’t stop thinking about doing a wedding look in SL. The problem is I didn’t feel like hunting down the perfect chapel backdrop just to take one photo, so I just added one with AI instead. I think enhancing SL photos with AI is fun, and clearly a lot of other residents do too because I see it everywhere on Social Media now. Some people are still loudly against it, but most people really don’t care. They just want to relax, be creative, and have fun. I’d rather someone recycle in real life than make “not using AI” their moral high ground.
Anyway, back to Elope Expo. I’m genuinely impressed by all the beautiful wedding content SL creators come up with. Even though partnering in SL has never really been my thing, I still love the whole wedding aesthetic. AI altered some of these details a little in my photo, but I’m wearing the Aveline Cathedral Veil from Purple Moon with the new Yara hairstyle from Mina, and they go perfectly together. Both are available at Elope Expo.
I also picked up this gorgeous Seraphina Dress from Eternus for only L$90 at the weekend sale. I always need more gowns, and I couldn’t pass up a deal. Now I kind of wish I bought the fatpack too, because this dress is seriously beautiful.
Should you still credit SL items if you used AI to edit the photo and things got altered a little? I think so. You can still judge the items for yourself and recreate the look if you want to. The final image is still like 90% the original styling anyway.
I love when clothes have frills and pretty little details. As soon as I saw the Everly Blouse from Tres Blah, I knew I needed it. I guess I’m leaning into the cottagecore vibe now, but with pants. I’m still not sold on long mesh skirts. Sometimes they make me feel like my butt looks wide. This blouse looks perfect with the Locket Choker from Rebelle, like they were meant to be worn together.
Have you ever seen something in Second Life and thought, “How has no one made this before?” Izzie’s just released Body and Face Veins and I swear I am never taking them off. Face skins in SL keep getting better and better, but body skins still feel flat in comparison. It’s harder to update body skins often so designers usually skip it. Faces are easier to tweak which is why we get a new one every week. But just this little detail of veins layered on top of my skin gives me the realism I have been missing.
If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, check out Anthology, Shop & Hop, SeraPlus gifts and more. I picked up some great finds from all of them and a few were even free.
I went to Tickets 4 sim it’s a cute little Winter sim with lots of photogenic places. I think the owner may be Russian, cos he was there typing in Russian when I tp’d in. The sim is quite popular, there were lots of people hanging around there. It’s worth exploring if you like Winter-themed sims!
I went to FaMESHed not knowing that its the 7th anniversary celebration, so it was truly a surprise to see gifts from most of the brands! I love when brands give out nice gifts, so I’ve included some of them into my outfit today.
Another surprise is Mon Tissu relaunching their brand after a 5 year hiatus, with a small collection of clothing and accessories. The brand also added Apple Fall as a third designer, so it’ll be interesting to see how these three designers collaborate.
I opened a bunch of the free gifts at FaMESHed to show you that there’s some cute stuff, so be sure to visit before the event ends. Pictured: CONVAIR (MC Chair Brown-Gray), West Village (by Apple Fall; Aspidistra in Wicker Planter & Plaster Horse), unKindness (Summer Gift Art Set), Heart Garden (Summer Hanging Basket). There’s so many other home decor things not pictured here. Opening dozens of boxes can be chaotic, but I opened EVERY single gift box I grabbed and deleted anything I didn’t want, just to keep my inventory from being crazy.
Free clothing & accessories gifts: Masoom (Sheryl Dress), Breathe (So Feng Heels), Dead Dollz (Hush Lingerie Set), BONDI (The Traveler Hat), Belle Epoque (Africa Bag), Ayashi (Jessie Hair), Elikatira (Misha hair), Neve (FaMESHed gift dress), Sarafina (Blume Earring)
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Hayley hair @ Soiree
Pink Fuel – Kiera (Biscuit) for LeLutka
Sarafina – Blume Earrings (Silver) Gift @ FaMESHed
