Merry Gothmas

Gothmas by Gaslight is one of my favourite events. There’s something there for every goth, from clothing to decor.

Eclectica has two beautiful jewelry sets made for the event. The Nightblooms set consists of a neckpiece, ring and earrings. They are unrigged so can be resized and are texture changing. There are 7 colours, which include a white and grey, and those 2 colours can be tinted; so really you have an abundance of colours. They are materials ready and original mesh.

The Gothic Pearls Neckpiece & Earrings set looks a little other worldly with its random placed beads and spidery metal. They come in 8 colours and a fatpack. They are original mesh, unrigged so they can be resized and are materials ready.

My two outfits can be found in the Sakide booth at Gothmas. I’m in love with the sexy Catsuit and the Christmas Eve Gown is lovely. Even though they are dark you still get the christmasy feel.

In just a couple of days, Candy Fair will be closing its doors this year. If you have not been to Candy Fair yet, now is the time to check out both sims. There are a ton of great stores offering great merchandise.

I picked up a great outfit by The Sugar Garden and also the lovely necklace. I was lucky to have the matching shoes already in my inventory so I didn’t have to purchase them. I walked next door and found the beautiful hair by Ploom. I knew that I needed the hair in all the colors.

I walked a few doors over and snagged the lovely skin by Kooqla and my look had finally come together. All I needed was a great manicure to top off my look. I knew that my SL Mom – Autumn Amaranth made a great set that would go well with this dress so I explored the 2 sims and found her store “The Wicked Peach”.

While walking around I found what I call a Gothic inspired candy shop display items and pretty much bought all I could. In the picture below you will see items from a new to me brand called “Lucky Charlotte Camille” and I am truly loving what I see. The Dessert Display Table was also available in a couple other color options but the “black” color struck my fancy. Then the candy jars were all so beautifully done and textured, but what I loved most were the “black” candy jars because they had “eyeballs” in the jars and it was beautifully macabre.

Hair Fair Post #6 – Discord Designs

It has been a while since Kallisti Burns has released hair and I was happy to see she had a pretty huge release at this years Hair Fair. As usual she had her signature braids that we have all come to love and know her for. She has the best texture and technique for braids in SL.

The styles above are quite unisex and I love each of them dearly. They are available in a wide variety of colors but fatpacking is your best option 😉

Now the styles above can be considered to be a touch of feminine but with the right look I think a man can pull off these hairstyles quite well.

This is what I love about Discord Designs. Her hair can always be worn by either gender.

Items Worn:

• Freckles: .Pekka. Freckles + Moon mole Available at Cosmetic Fair
• Eyes: .tsg. Mori Eyes – Honey
• Mesh Eyelashes: *MC* “Falsies” Mesh Alpha Lashes with HUD – Pack 1

Alice Project @ Hair Fair 2014

I am only showcasing one of Alice Project’s hairs this year from Hair Fair because I still need to show other hair styles also. Alice Project has always been my go-to place when looking for the perfect Gothic Lolita hairstyle. She always had the perfect bangs and her hair hud system was always so easy to use. You seriously got a wide variety of hair color options. She has now updated her huds since alot of her customers were complaining that the hud system was too complex and now it is easy peasy to use. She has broken the hair colors into unique groups and she has introduced a new hair color group that I adore.

I wore this hair because it worked perfectly to accent the hairband that I was sent to blog by Folly. This particular headband is for the We ❤ Roleplay event which is closing soon. The flowers and the amulet are texture changing. You can choose to wear the flowers or the amulets alone or even together. I really adored this headband just for the simple elegance of the headpiece.

I am also wearing the Lora skin by Dead Apples that is available at the We ❤ Roleplay event. I am a huge fan of the skins by Dead Apples and I knew I had to pick up this skin. To add the unique quality of my skin I added some freckles by Pekka which are available at the Cosmetic Fair. I tweaked the picture a little bit in Flickr so that you can get a better view of the freckles.

Items Worn:

1. Hair: Alice Project – Airedine @ Hair Fair
2. Lashes: *MC* “Falsies” Mesh Alpha Lashes with HUD – Pack 1
3. Eyes: .tsg. Mori Eyes – Honey
4. Freckles: .Pekka. Freckles + Moon mole
5. Skin: {Dead Apples} Lora – Vampire Edition (Bone) @ We ❤ Roleplay
6. Dress: The Annex – Flirty Dress – Lavendar Available @ The Secret Affair
7. Headband: Folly Nouveau Headband Available at We ❤ Roleplay

Hair Fair Post #4 – Adore & Abhor

Today I am showcasing some lovely hair from the talented Airedine Poe of Adore & Abhor. Each of these hairstyles are perfect for kawaii looks and fit perfectly within the EGL roleplay that is quite popular in SL.

From Left to Right: Darling, Francis, and Chu.

Darling is a cute pigtail updo with side-swept bangs. I highly recommend you fatpack the hair with all the color options available you will not be sorry. I couldn’t decide on a single color or a ombre color so I went for a beautiful vibrant ombre hair color. I love how rich and vibrant Airedine’s textures are and they are perfect for kawaii looks.

Now Francis is more of a rockabilly inspired up-do. I loved the bandana wrapped around the hair and there are so many options to choose from for the bandana. I went for a solid vibrant color so it wouldn’t compete with the lovely textures on the bandana.

Chu is a collaborative hair with BOOM. The hair accessory was created and scripted by Ara Megaforce of Boom and it accentuates the hair perfectly. This type of hairstyle is exactly what you will find in EGL cosplay. I wore a pastel hair color for this particular hairstyle because I felt that with the soft delicate features of the bow a more subdued texture would be perfect for the bow.

Items Worn:
Sunglasses: +>A&A<+ Shady Daisies
Mesh Eyelashes:*MC* "Falsies" Mesh Alpha Lashes with HUD – Pack 1
2.0 Makeup: .Pekka. Aura Lips | .Pekka. Freckles + Moon mole | {Dead Apples} Tintable Paumette Blushes & Freckles

Hair Fair Post #3 – [GAUZE]

It is no secret that Yukio Ida and I have a love affair. But sadly its only one sided. You see I am the only one who showers Yuki with love and affection but alas its not reciprocated. Ok all jokes aside. Yukio and I have been friends for a few years now and I have always been a fan of her creations. I am so glad she participated in Hair Fair this year. I always look forward to her creations because I know they will be unique and different then what can be found in the mainstream fashion world.

Let me introduce to you “Gravity”. Ok if you are a huge Kerli fan like myself you will squee with your little black heart adorned with pink ribbons when you see this hair. I tried to emulate Kerli’s look in her music video “Zero Gravity“. The hair includes the hair sticks adorned with stars. This hair is available in several color options.

Harley is a edgy pigtail style that fits well within the cybergoth and gothic fashion. I wore a hairbase by [LANEVO] that was made to match Dura hair but I found it complimented Yukio’s hair perfectly. I am wearing the Gems color pack and I love the bold rich colors in this pack. Of course with this look I was emulating the vendor look at Hair Fair because it seemed absolutely perfect but I added my own twist to it. And shockingly I am not wearing purple :O yes you can all be shocked

Last but not least is the “Unseelie” hair. If you are familiar with the lore of Unseelie subculture amongst the Fae then this hair is perfect for the look. I decided to complete my look with other items by Gauze and ears by TRAP. I am wearing the colors hair pack and this is by far my favorite hair pack because in this hair pack there is RAINBOW hair…that’s right I said Rainbow. But staying within Unseelie fashion I chose the color I am wearing.

Items Worn:
[Gauze] Gravity Picture:

• Lipgloss: {D.A} Glosses Pack 2 – Sky
• Outfit: Violent Seduction – Rozuhime (Purple) (unpacked)

[Gauze] Harley Picture:

Hair Fair Post #2 – Koy

Hey! Here I am with another post of awesome hair. As you may have noticed I have recently begun to blog hair for the brand Koy by Steve Cartier. It is a new brand with lovely new styles to fit every girls wardrobe.

At Hair Fair he covered all the styles: punk, cute, and elegant.

Left to Right: Dormer, Mathilda, and Lana.

I loved Dormer because it had that punk edge to the hair while still not going so much overboard. You can still carry this look and make it classy with the hairbases that are included with the hair. If you want to go funky check marketplace or any store inworld that sells etched hairbases it will add some edge to your look.

When I put on Mathilda it reminded me so much of a friend of mine. Every detail down to the way the bangs were parted. Now I’m going to have to call her Mathilda forever. Thanks Steve! But the real reason I loved this hairstyle because it is short and works well when you want to display necklaces and earrings in your photos.

Now when I saw Lana, I immediately though Lana Lane you know from Smallville. This hair reminds me of the hairstyle she wore throughout the gajillion series the had. This particular hairstyle is what I consider as silverscreen queen hairstyle. It has elegance and a casual look to it all in one.

Items Worn:

• Skin: {Dead Apples} Lora – Vampire Edition (Bone) @ We ❤ Roleplay
• Eyes: .tsg. Mori Eyes – Honey
• 2.0 Makeup: cStar Limited – Cat Liner – 009 – Hardcore Cat | [Buzz] Cutiepie Freckles | {D.A} Doll Gloss Mauve C | {Dead Apples} Tintable Paumette Blushes & Freckles
• Mesh Eyelashes: *MC* “Falsies” Mesh Alpha Lashes with HUD – Pack 1
• Mesh Hands: Slink AvEnhance Hands Female – Casual
