Living in a fantasy…

Hello my dear fellow gacha addicts! I’m sure you’ve heard now that the Fantasy Gacha Carnival is open for business. And ..wow, there are some fantastic things set up for us this round. There’s an added plus for this round too. Some of the designers have made a special edition item for sale at their booths. This item has limited amounts available and after the Carnival the item will be retired making them real collectors pieces.

First up is the Mockingjay dress from !go!  I pulled both the ‘Sparrow’ and the ‘Raven’ complete outfits (The tail and the corset are separate items) but I chose to show the ‘Sparrow’ because it goes so perfectly with the ‘Blonde Dipped’ Minky’ hair from Blues!

Next is the gorgeous ‘Inanna’ gown from Anphorism. I have to admit… I played this Gacha… a lot! I love the rich details of the embroidery and the lace at the bodice. The gown comes in three patterns, Vine, Flower and Wild Flower, with each pattern coming in three different colors. The Rares are three coats in a vintage white, charcoal and peacock.  The gown I chose is the Vine pattern in rose

I picked the rose gown to show off because not ten minutes before I popped over to the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, I had visited Like Design to pick up the lovely pale pick hair which is the Second Life Frees and Offers gift right now. Then I pulled the pale lavender Lahkshana Bare Horns from Plastik and I knew a soft pastels look was in my future! I topped everything off with the peals and gold of the ‘Moonchild’ Fairy Court Crown from Zyn.

This is just a tiny sample from the Carnival and honestly, I had a terrible time picking just a handful of things to show off! If you love Gacha or Fantasy items this is the event for you!

 Now a bit of technical stuff… all of the Gacha items are here, at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. 

The LandMarks in the list below are to the designers main stores. I encourage you to visit them. If you like their Gacha… you just might love the store!

!gO! Chocolate Sweetheart

Believe it or not, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! !gO! just recently put out an adorable Valentine’s Day themed sweater. This mesh top says “Love You” across the front and back, and has a cute pink heart pattern. I think the addition of the skinny belt gives this sweater an extra sense of style. This group gift is FREE and the !gO! group is just $50 lindens to join.

Speaking of group gifts, Little Bones just released a brand new group gift hairstyle. This shoulder-length style comes with a fat pack of color change huds, each with a hud to change the color of the scalp part of the hair. This style makes for a very pretty casual hair style. The hair is FREE for all group members, and the Little Bones group is $100 lindens to join.

You might have noticed the giant chocolate bar Pru is holding. She likes to take her chocolate on long walks. Seriously, the perfect date! The chocolate is actually part of a group gift from Frozen. The gift includes the bar of chocolate and the pose shown. The Frozen group is FREE to join, and the gift is FREE for group members.

Just when you thought that was all, the manicure Pru is sporting is one of the new Sweetheart gacha at Nail Me!. There are several cute Valentine’s themed options, each with a glitter or non-glittery version. The gacha is $25 lindens per play at the Nail Me! main location. So you can see all the cute designs, I included a copy of the Sweetheart gacha vendor photo below.

To the Lords and Ladies of the Fabulous Realm…

Greetings Oh Fabulous Ones,

I have just returned from a far away land of Gacha and I come bearing many splendid treasures for you, fine gentle folk.

Okay, imagine I was saying that in a fancy Olde English accent!

The Fantasy Gacha Carnival is open for business and there actually ARE many a splendid offing there. Eighty one designers have come together and set out some very fine fantasy gear for us this November with most offering two or more gachas. The Carnival runs until November 30th so you only have a little time left to get your Medieval on! You can check out the website for a preview here. One of the best things about this Carnival is the ton of men’s items here. Many of the vendors offered both male and female selections or unisex items.

First up is Zenith’s Druid. I love the wooden vines that twist and curl around the upper armor and bracers. Zooming in shows the delicate texture of bark and twigs. The simple linin skirt moves well and sets off the detailed leather works.  I was lucky enough to pull both of the rares on this machine! The branching crown AND the two handed wand. I was thrilled to find a “new to me” hair vendor at the Carnival! I’m wearing Blues’ hair in ‘Grace’

 

Next up is a Ranger outfit from !gO!  I didn’t pull the rare but I was lucky enough to get the jacket and the skirt in the same color and style. !gO!’s booth has both a men’s machine and outfit as well as the girl’s selection. The pose is from Rack Poses and their “priestess” gacha. There are six common poses and one rare couple pose. They all come with the eagle prop! At 50L a play, I grabbed several.  I’m also wearing Little Bones ‘Ranger’ hair in the Landslide pack.

 

Lastly, I wanted to show you the rest of the Snow Queen set from The Annex.  In addition to the beautiful pearl earrings and chocker, this set has a pair of pearl ‘eye lashes’ and a diadem. There’s also a gorgeous crown but I wasn’t lucky enough to pull it. :(  Maybe next time.  The gown comes in a plethora of colors so I just picked my favorites: Forest, Twilight and Calypso.

I’m also wearing Damselfly’s blowin’ around hair “Gretchen.”  The rare also comes with a set of butterflies woven into the locks. I love the dynamic of the piece. Sure makes for a great picture!

Love Looks Not With The Eyes, But With The Mind

The weekend is winding down for me on this Sunday evening, so I thought I would show you a few amazing things to help ease you into a new week.

If you haven’t been to The Hair Fair yet then now is the time as it is much less crowded now the initial rush is over. Exile put their dollarbie gift out last night, which is a reason in itself to go over as this hair is just breathtaking. They have made a special pack of four colours expecially as their dollarbie for this event and the ends of the hair is a sparkling rainbow ombre! I may never take this hair off as I am so smitten with it! Plus it perfectly matches the adorable Unicorn Clutch that I found when taking a wander over to The Dreamers Factory event. If you join the event group for free, you can claim the little swag bag of gifts nearby which contains this clutch bag and two sweet necklaces that I will show in a future post!

Soooo.. about this gorgeous hair ~ laughs ~ I know, I know.. Im going to be obsessed about it for a while. But as Im back on the subject, here is a picture of the three other colours in the package.

Ok, I promise I will talk about the other things now! IKON have a new Group Gift for July with the release of their Immortal Eyes range. Their gift is a set from this range in a striking green colour. These eyes are perfect for that otherworldly feel and I can imagine I will be using them a lot in the future! The IKON group is free to join!

As you may have noticed from my other posts, I have quite a love for flowery head bands and crowns, so I was thrilled when I stopped by The Secret Affair event. The theme for this event is Medieval Masquerade with a hint of A Midsummer Nights Dream and there are so many beautiful things to swoon over. The Rose String Crown that I am wearing in the picture is one of the rare prizes from the ieQED gacha but there are several different styles to play for!

Viki gO!es on Vacation

Hello and Happy Weekend everyone! There are so many events going on around the grid, it is literally virtual insanity! I can not even begin to keep up. Still, I did make it out to Chapter 4 recently and picked up this adorable polaroid camera from Tentacio. It is so cute on, and comes in several different versions. I did feel a little like a tourist of some kind (though who takes vacation photos with a polaroid I have no idea!) while wearing it around. LOL During my daily travels around Second Life, I was snapping pictures and instantly developing them inside my awesome camera, and I found out that !gO! has a new group gift out. Score! This all mesh outfit is really cute on. It has a fun casual feel. The weather is getting warmer out there, this is a perfect addition to that summer wardrobe.

I don’t know about everyone else, but it is definitely Summer where I live, and I am feeling the heat! With all this hot weather and sunshine, I’ve kinda started to live in shorts and sandals. Anything else is just too much! Right now gO! has out an adorable shorts and halter top set that is perfect for Summer. I love the sweet playful pattern. This will definitely be a favorite in my Summer wardrobe! A girl can never have enough shoes, it’s true, and this outfit like any other needed just the right pair of sandals to go with it. Lucky for us, Hankii Pankii recently sent out a cute pair of jellies as a special thanks to their group members.

A walk in the woods

I’m not sure about everyone else here in the Northern hemisphere, but personally I am hoping and praying for warm weather to finally arrive soon. Early spring is a great time for a walk in the woods, wearing your comfiest clothes. This cozy looking hoodie is this month’s group gift at !go! It looks adorable worn alone, or with a tank layered underneath. (as seen here) Also for a limited time there is another color of this same hoodie on sale for half off in their main store, so it’s a great time to pick up another color of hoodie if you find you like this one.

It Looks Good to be VIP!

It looks good to be VIP! Recently a few of my favorite stores sent out or put out group gifts, and they are beautiful!!! These amazing mesh tops are all three beautifully textured, perfect examples of why being part of a group or joining a subscribo is totally worth it. The first top is from !gO! and I still can’t get over the shading of this crochet top. Available in store to all group members, there is a $50 linden join fee, but this shirt alone is worth that! Not to mention that !gO! always puts out high quality VIP gifts, so again, nominal fee, huge rewards! The top shown in the second picture is a super seductive September VIP gift, a lace cami top from Cheeky. Cheeky puts out a monthly VIP Gift, and gives purchase rewards to all VIP customers when buying items in store! There is a $50 linden join fee for Cheeky also, but I could say this a million times, the fee is entirely worth it! Who doesn’t love monthly gifts?!? The third picture shows the Subscribo gift from RUBY, and guess what, Subscribo Gift means no fees! This top is totally free, just gotta click the Subscribo! The textures on this top are so rich, and I love the way the center part reminds me of the doodles I used to draw on my notebooks in school!
