My Polar Getaway

My Polar Getaway - Polaroid

Living in the Canary Islands the only way to have "White Christmas" for me is to ride my car to the top of our volcano and hope for snow to fall that day. That is the reason I enjoy so much all of SL's snowy sims, all your snowy pictures and all of the wintery decor available. From fireplaces, which are pretty stupid to have where I live, to snowy tress outside, every teleport is an adventure for me at this time of the year.

But thanks to "The Arcade" and specially to Winter Thorn from What Next, I have my very own Tropical Polar Getaway this year, where I can finally feel cold, wear cozy clothes and feed the penguins. Penguins???? Did I say penguins? omg omg omg *screams around excited*.

Penguins are my second favorite animal right after cats, I think this is the reason I chose to have lovebirds at home too. When I was I child I always told my mother they were penguins that finally learned to fly, and you may laugh at the naive 9yo Giela but if you ever see how my lovebirds walk and play with me, you will relate to her.

Well, Aime Takaaki from *MishMish*  made my wish come true this year, I finally have my very own Penguin family. Well, to be honest I must say they are not really mine; they just hang out at my place because I feed them every day, I buy them toys and I even allow them to enter my igloo from time to time. In exchange they help me with Xmas decorations, since you already know I am terrible at this, and I must tell you, if you have never slept with the penguins, this is something you must do at least once in your SecondLife.

Learning to Decorate with The Arcade - The Wizard Castle


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 Castle - The Wizard
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 Wizard Castle - The Warrior
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.
