Learning to Decorate with The Arcade - The Wizard Castle

Now that you know you are a complete mess, your inventory is a complete mess and your house is a complete mess is about time to put some order in your SLife. The easier way to do that is to find a theme (or 2) around which we will organize all our recently acquired Arcade Items. Like I already introduced in my previous post I decided to spread items in 4 different themes and today I proudly present you, the second one The Wizard Castle.

I started this set using the amazing bookshelves from Alouette named You are a Wizard, which gave me the main idea for this set.  I edited them to remove some things from the shelves and included a lot of different items from other gatcha machines, like some of O.M.E.N. - Fairytale Gatcha pretties, Lark - Imaginarium Librarium perfectly made shinies and the delicate and beautiful Baiastice Porcelaine Fairies, my preciousssssss!!!

The Wizard

But I just couldn't stop there. Now that I had finally started a Fantasy post, away from the usual fashion stylings from this blog, I felt the need to match some outfits. I love playing MMORPGS, at the moment I am back into RIFT which became Free- to-Play not long ago and one of the things I have always enjoyed of roleplaying games is wearing different armors, from chain to leather and beautiful silk dresses. So I styled two different outfits for this post. The first one (the wizard on the above picture) is from an amazing store I found called "Losthaven" that provides high quality roleplaying gear, armors and weapons from all sorts. It was hard to choose one, it really was, but this "Lady Diabolique" mesh dress really got me on first sight, I still need to return and get one of these incredible WoW armor sets *drools* ...soon...

The Warrior

For the second styling I needed a warrior or paladin armor to match my  Sword of Might from DECO Legends, and whenever I am in a hurry to find something in particular, there is a place I know I can head to and quickly find exactly what I need, that place is no other than BareRose Tokyo  from June Dion. I must confess I got 4 different outfits on this trip, and that is the problem with BareRose, I can never leave with just one bag. June that's why I don't visit you more often, even with your low prices you would get me broke in No Time!

I just hope you enjoyed the Second Phase of my Learning to Decorate endeavour, even if I ended up redirecting it to fashion *giggles* I will be back soon with my balloon trip.

Now credits, again TONS of credits.

Pose Fair 2011 - Twiggy by Body Talking

Pose Fair 2011 opened yesterday and I can tell you that this place is heaven!!! There are over 100 pose and animation stores, many I didn't even know before and even if I could only take a quick look on this trip I already know I am going to be raiding that place for the rest of the month until I get them all. Sim was so packed yesterday that lag was an absolute killer so I decided to quickly grab only one set and run away to blog about the fair opening so lag is even worse tomorrow ... erm... whatever.

To start my review I have chosen this set from Body Talking called Twiggy. I just felt in love with it as soon as Ari posted the pictures on plurk, not only because I absolutely admire Twiggy for all she has done for the fashion industry but also because there is a huge lack of model poses wearing purses or bags and I find myself not wanting to add some accessories to my looks just because I know they will make posing on the runway or taking the pictures even harder than usual.

Since I also had my hair cut exactly like this one from  Elikatira on Thursday I decided to make some mix and match outfits with a slight Twiggy inspiration, simple things that I like to wear RL or would like to wear if I had all the clothes I have in SL in my real closet. Do you all dream about that too or is it just me?

I would also like to point out that you don't need to wear a purse or bag to use the poses, some of them work also if you want to show for example a piece of jewelry, another accessory or like I did on the picture below, to pose for high waisted skirts or dresses with prim attachments on waist and hips that are probably the harder to find original poses for.

To make it even better all poses on set have the reflected version making it 20 poses total, twenty fabulous and original poses you just need to complete your collection. And now let's start with the credits, this is going to be really painful!

Hair Fair 2010 Favourites - Mausoleum Robots

Here I am again with yet another purchase form the recent Hair Fair. This time I bring you something a little more artistic and .... how can I describe it ... maybe... cosmic??? :)

I met all  these tiny little friends at Stringer Mausoleum's Hair Fair tent and asked if they would like to be part of my next fashion experiment. Not only they agreed, they happily followed me home and even accepted to change their colours to fit my "space traveler" outfit.

I have always enjoyed Helena Stringer creations, which often look like coming from out of this world, they are a good alternative for a model who wants to stand out from the rest. And if there is another designer whose creations look like coming from another galaxy, that has to be June Dion's Bare@Rose. You name the party theme, I name 5 of her outfits to go with it :)

Pictures Location: INSILICO Corporate District

Hair: The Stringer Mausoleum RoboBambie - Darknight (For sale at Hair Fair tent)

I recoloured the robots, they came in both Red and Lime in the pack I bought and with different attachment points (thanks Helena for that !!!)

Skin: LionSkins Noir 11

Eyes: Baiastice Black Alien Night (SL Shadows made them look cool!)

Outfit: Bare@Rose  Infiltrator Lady -  Black & Silver mix

Earrings: Ear Candy ~ Woven Pewter Earrings

Lashes: [ glow ] Hollywood lashes - Madame Mirage - Giela (chin)

Poses: BehaviorBody
