Published on by GraziaLeave a comment

Hi people! I have taken a short break. The end of year crazy hit at work like, well crazy, and then all of a sudden it was Christmas and now it’ll be another 3 until this year comes to an end. I promised myself to take it totally easy until I go back to work in 2023, so here I am, lazing around with a nice coffee and my latest in-world purchases!

You must have been living under a rock if you haven’t heard that until December 30, LeLutka and 54 other awesome designers run their Holiday Special. with free heads for him and her, and tons of skins and other goodies! Most vendors will be set to group only, but hey… pretty much all of the participants, have also waived group fees for this special occasion! So today I am wearing Raven, the free head for women from LeLutka, and she has the potential to usurp the place as my default head from Avalon. I saw people mentioning Celtic features, and “Helena Christensen-like”, which, yep, I can see that. I am wearing her here with Amara Beauty‘s Raven skin and BarberYumYum‘s P18 hair, and the totally comfortable Winnie top and skirt from Offline. Also, I think my eyes are the Noel eyes from Avi-Glam, which is also one of the Holiday Special gifts, but I am not 1000% sure! However, go get the Noel eyes, they are pretty!

Getting ready for an early New Years Eve gathering, I decided to switch out the brows on the Raven skin for Nuve‘s Molly brows, because they are a bit stronger in my face, which I like. My eye liner is from Jack Spoon, The Medea (heart) liner 1 and I added some of Avi-Glam‘s Paris lashes, for extra volume. Also from Jack Spoon, from the Holiday Special, I am wearing the Blame it on the Boogie lipstick and then I added a bunch of other layers, The Biba kit beauty mark from Jack Spoon, and some contouring and blush from Deetalez.

My sweater is the Pom Star sweater from Fashionably Dead, which I’m using as an extra layer over my party dress, because after all, it’s cold outside! but as soon as I get out the door, I’m leaving that behind, put on my Yummy Holiday Party Set, which just is so lovely with Fashionably Dead‘s Slinky Party Dress. From Vannies, I am wearing these lovely fishnet tights with a seam and I slip on my Salvadori Strappy Leather Heeled sandals, grab my Natalia mini purse from Miura, which just fits my key and credit card, and off I go!

No worries, it’s purely about the lights in these pics. It’s dark and I love to work with blue light, because it gives that, je ne sais quoi of gloom without being downright depressing, if that makes sense? I have been over The Arcade for years now. I remember the days I would go SO broke trying to get those coveted gacha rares, but to be honest, I have also always hated gachas and I felt that in general interest in the event was dwindling long before the ban on gachas. Those insanely talented creators who would made amazing sets that would keep you playing until you literally had no L$ balance left, they left the event long ago, and nowadays, yeah… nah… not really. However…. when I saw that one of my favourite skinners, Amara Beauty was in this round, I decided to give it a try. Got in immediately, on day one. That should tell you something. I got lucky, because after 2 pulls on the machine, I saw a fat pack coming up! so I kept playing until I got it! I also got a few of Mutresse’s Naughty Elves, simply because I adore Mutresse and then left as fast as I could.

And isn’t she gorgeous? Her name is Carmelia, and I am wearing her on LeLUTKA‘s River. yes, Lelu’s gorgeous androgynous head is a total beauty with this skin! I added some moles from Jack Spoon‘s Boheme set and a subtle chin dimple from Saxo. Today’s eyes are the Influencer eyes from Avi-Glam and my hairbase is Wispy Bangs hairbase from Angel eyes, new out at Level. From Fameshed, which has also opened today, I picked up the Polly slip dress and cardigan by Amias.

For my final outfit and look, I went full drama. The outfit is by Avec Toi, the Artemis blazer and vest. and I am wearing the Ruby pants underneath, also from Avec Toi. Initially I was wearing the Ruby blazer instead of the Artemis blazer, but I wasn’t completely feeling that look, so I went over to the shop and see if there was something that fitted my mood better for today. Got immediately approached and complimented in that over the top way that I think only SL subs do, as if wearing latex instantly makes you a Domme. No, it only makes you wear latex, k? I sometimes like wearing latex. it’s sexy! And the Artemis blazer with the vest and shirt, offers a bit more contrast than the Ruby blazer. For my makeup I kept it classic. I’m wearing the smokey eyeshadow which came with Amara Beauty‘s Callie skin, and I added the BOM shading from Influence‘s cheek deformer. My lipstick is by Dernier, the Marilyn lipstick. My hair got did, and it’s now the Cosmetized Melody hairbase, which are lovely fingerwaves, and I added the Bloom beret from Opale. My sole piece of jewelry is Yummy‘s Solitaire ring. I love that ring, It’s gorgeous! My shoes, again are by Gos, the Charlene patent pumps and my wine is from Chicchica!

So after 2 days of walking around like a zombie in pajamas, today is all about elegance. And for that, I put on Amara Beauty‘s Esther skin, out at Uber. Matched with LeLUTKA‘s Avalon head, she’s a classy b*tch right away. I love blonde hair with brown eyes, and the new set from Avi-glam, Profound, is like super rich, dark hues, among which this deep brown. My hair is Studio Exposure‘s Sweetheart

Dressed up, I went with Valentina E‘s Avenger dress. It’s a dress that requires little else than a pair of stockings, in this case Vannies‘ and a killer pump, for which went with Gos‘ Charlene pumps. I couldn’t help but to add David Heather‘s Bali sunhat and Faenzo‘s Patixa sunglasses. The sole piece of jewelry is my trusted old Paper Couture Golden Wings ring, which I don’t think I have ever really worn as a ring, but always used as a brooch, attached to spine, because my grandmother used to have one just like that.

My make up, I kept it pretty minimal with Dernier‘s Ulzzang eyeshadow and the contour set #2, also from Dernier. The only outstanding feature in my makeup is Lisa Beauty‘s Christmas Weather lipstick, which is a beautiful ombre, perfectly matching the bordeaux of my dress!
