A taste of SL & a splash of the black market

There are some truly spectacular exclusive creations that have been released recently and I want to share just a few. Firstly I've always been a fan of Dreamscapes creations and I can't be enthusiastic enough about this weeks releases for The Taste of SL event (more details found at HERE) all the furnishings are part of the event so do be quick to bag a bargain! The Fireplace with cage books & candles are on offer but if you wear your TOSL group tag you will get  'Frames & more' free!

Next I want to gush lots about the skirt! I can without any hesitation say that this is the most beautiful, wonder skirt that I've ever owned in SL. I know that mesh can produce such incredible creations however try as I might I just cannot see mesh, regardless of what viewer I use & I was utterly convinced that this skirt by 22769 was mesh. I'm thrilled to say it isn't!! I can wear it! it has such a vintage feel to it with the most fabulous William Morris style print. It also has a high waist band (not best illustrated in my pics I have to say) and what's more is you can detach the bottom prim to make a pretty parachute style knee length skirt ..ahhhhhh fantastic!! It's only available until 13th December though as it's an exclusive design for The Black market event.

A small taste of Sl week 61

And for todays look I shall be mostly imitating Alice in her whimsical wonderland, but let me start by talking about Taste of SL. The theme this week is 'wet & wild' and I've picked a couple of my favorites from that event, for 2 reasons. I love the items of course but I also very much like the creators interpretation of the theme. First is this totally gorgeous washstand from Dreamscapes art gallery it's so pretty and I totally love the accessories.

Next is the 'I'm not feeling very well' eyes from Izzie's which has various options  of which I am wearing a very subtle version but there are sad eyebrow shapes, tears with or without run mascara and 4 different shades of eye colour.  I think this is such a great item, i've seen run mascara & tears before but nothing with such great detail and options as this package.

The rest of the outfit consists of a pretty floral & gingham print dress which is a monthly 1L item at Humming and the undershirt is just the vest layer, collar & cuffs of the 'Bow shirt' from the Coco sale.

Can't beat candy stripes

Well I've been out of blogging action for the best part of a week, mostly due to RL goings on, but I took this picture over a week ago, so I know that the Taste of SL hunt will be well underway by now. The lounge set shown here is only a selection of the whole set which is Dreamscapes art galleries offering to the hunt. Can you believe you get a whole lounge set as a free gift?! the quality is fantastic too and the design is right up my alley. See previous post for more details of the Taste of Sl blog.

Oh but this outfit I adore and I've had more compliments about the jacket from Villena. There is quite a range of colours to choose from too and an absolute steal at 180L. For me this outfit encapsulates some of the finest quality items in SL and I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to wear these boots now I have a new viewer that allows the alpha layer yes yes I know it's old news, while everyone is getting excited about depth of field & shadows hehe, notice no shadows here folks I may get those in the year 2014. *trots off to get blogging organised*
