FATEwear & EMO-tions at Fantasy Faire 2013

It’s going to be an exciting weekend for all the Fantasy fans in Second Life when the Fantasy Faire opens its’ door at 6am on the 20th. The Fantasy Faire, if you are not familiar, is a Relay for Life event that raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

Celebrating its fifth year, Fantasy Faire 2013 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, roleplayers and performers in the virtual world.  From Saturday April 20 to Sunday April 28, there will be nine days of shopping, live music concerts, auctions, hunts and roleplaying for thousands of Second Life residents.

This year there are eight sims sponsored and created by some of the best designers in Second Life and each sim has different theme and unique feel like a fairyland, that eventually connected as a huge Fairy continent.  Whether your style be steampunk or fae, mer or gothic you will find yourself at home at some of the sims.

Debuting my first post for this year’s Fantasy Faire, I am an Elven in a delicate layared dress created by FATEwear.  Some of you might know FATEwear, which is a brand that specialised in modern men’s wear and accessories.  The designer behind of FATEwear, Damien Fate, is also the mesh creator for his brand FATEwear and the popular women’s mesh clothing brand, Coldlogic.   Hence, I am super super excited when FATEwear makes it’s first presence in the Fantasy world.

Back to the dress! “Rochon”, is a layered elven dress which is tied up in the front with a long delicate ribbon. The sleeves are long and flowing and while the overall design is conservative, the front of the skirt is split up the center showing off my legs.  Having said that, the dress is just as innocent as an elven.  100% of the proceeds of this item will be donated to the American Cancer Society so be a graceful and charitable Elven in this Rochon dress.

Pairing the dress is the perfect APHRODITE hair by EMO-tions, also created and will be released at the Faire this Saturday.   Mirja Mills, the designer behind EMO-tions, has been creating detailed and beautiful hair for the modern, haute, avant garde and fantasy worlds, has recently taken her creations to a whole new level by adding exquisite accessories on the hairs.

There are definitely a lot to see at the Faire.  Even if you are not into fantasy characters or roleplaying, the sim’s architecture and the quality of the items created by all the talented designers will have you gasping.

FATEwear will be on the Titan’s Hollow sim and EMO-tions will be on the Evensong Woods sim.  Landmarks to the respective store at the Faire will be available closer to the opening time, so stay tuned!

Meanwhile, feel free to visit FATEwear and EMO-tions at their mainstores to check out their existing designs.

Delice Went Overboard

Some of my friends that got the notecard from me about the ISON Hawkin Boots probably know how crazy or addicted I went at the Arcade lately (and thanks to those for buying the duplicates off me, I truly appreciate it!)

What they didn’t know are the items I am keeping for myself, here are some of them!

The Delice Gown from Fellini is just perfect for this whimsical picture.

If you haven’t been to the Arcade, you don’t know what you are missing but it’s not too late, you have until end of this month to experience what I experienced.

…and of course don’t miss out on the Delice Gown. It comes in seven colours and a butterly, matching hat and pair of gloves for each set!

The Geek Chics

I have done many contests in the past.  Runway, photo, styling, model search, beauty pageant and etc.  I have even tried my hands on logo designing contest but this blogger search entry  is my very first.

I love the Quirky Geek Chic fashion trend and in Mon Tissu it is really not hard to find clothing for the geek chics.  There are also many ways in wearing the Mon Tissu clothing because they are so versatile, so I wanted to present more than one style in my entry submission.  We could submit up to two entries but I have 4 or 5 optional stylings with the same clothings, that I really hope I could show them all….so I came up with the following picture and storyline.

For my picture processing, I merged two pictures into one.  It was quite a challenge to take the pictures at the same angle.  My pose on the right was actually the same orientation as the one on the left, so I flipped the image around before merging them.  That means I have two images that have the same orientation so I have to merge the image in the background as well as the flooring, making them look like they are one room.  It was quite a lot of work for my amatuer skill but I learned alot throughout this entire process.  It was fun and I love my set because bookstore and library are one of my favourite placess in RL.  Yeah, I am a geek chic in RL too!

If you like the Mon Tissu’s clothings I have presented, here’s the LM to visit the Mon Tissu store on the really classy Mayfair sim.

I also hope you like my submission as much as I enjoyed putting it together.   Remember to click the picture for larger view too!

Mon Tissu Blogger Search Entry #1 – The Geek Chic

THE GEEK CHICS

I wanted to style along the latest Geek Chic trend for my Mon Tissu Blogger Search’s entry because, to me, it is one of the coolest fashion trends.  The Geek Chic represents beauties both inside and out and they reminds us that not only we need to feed our wardrobe, we need to feed our minds too; and since it is pre-fall fashion everywhere on the grid, I created The Geek Chics in pre-fall fashion style for my entry.

For photography set, I envisioned a place that looks like a cool book store where Geek Chics would hang out, so I went out to grab some props.

While I was there, I bumped into this girl that is all styled in pre-fall fashion with lacey dress, sweater, boots and the quirky glasses, all from Mon Tissu.  Needless to say I love her looks to bit.

Now I am pondering….maybe I should just invite her onto my blog post?  What do you think? Two is always better than one.

Exhausted

Just got back from a vacation where I did some serious shopping and have to say it’s quite exhausting, so I decided to lie down and treat myself to a break. Phew!  Don’t mind my messy home.
