Swan Lake

Unless you have been hiding under a virtual rock, then you already know that The Arcade Gacha Event is here again and well underway! As always, all of the designers who are participating in this awesome event have managed to come up with the most brilliant creations (more like, "brilliant ways to entice us part with tons of lindens"s..lol)! The seriously talented Charming Meiler of ::{u.f.o}:: has created one of my favorite gacha collections to date for this round, which is called Swan Lake, Act 1.

I don't know about you, but when I was little I wanted to be a ballerina when I grew-up. I loved everything that had to do with ballet, from toe shoes to tutus. This is what Charming managed to re-create for me with her beautifully crafted mesh collection. It is not only made-up of beautiful tutus and ballet shoes (with a texture change HUD), but also wonderful home decor pieces and accessories. Elegant mannequins, retro princess phones and ballet shoe wall ornaments, which all come in a vast array of in pretty pastel colors. 

This is one gacha collection that you will definitely want to try your luck with!

Speaking of amazing Arcade collections, aida Ewing of Glam Affair created two new skins for this round of The Arcade. The skins are called Liv and Livvy and are both absolutely stunning! For this post, I chose to wear Liv. Both skins come in 10 gorgeous make-ups and three lovely skin tones (Arctic, Asia and India). There is even a RARE version in bare, so make sure you play to win all!

Mr. Truth Hawks is also participating in this round of The Arcade (as if you didn't already know). He created this fabulous hair style, called Sakura. Sakura comes in two styles - one side bun or a bun on each side. You can also win flowers and gummy bears in different colors  that can be worn in  this uber cute do. 

So what are you waiting for, go play at The Arcade! Here are your LMs and Credits:

I Wake-Up In The Morning To The Beat Of A Drum...

The Summer Solstice has arrived and Summer is now officially here. Because of all this, I have not been around much this week. I was really only able to log in temporarily to check NCs and messages. So, suffice it to say, I have A LOT of catching-up to do! Not to mention more events to blog too! It is really hot and I am super tired, so I will try to keep it brief. However, I am so in love with all of these new releases that are in this post! First off, I know you have seen these new creations from Azure Electricteeth of Tee*fy all over the feeds! They are Arcade Gacha Event exclusives and have an amazing native/bohemian feel to them. In this post, I am wearing her 'Aurelia Summer High-Low Dress', 'Feather Crown Headband' and 'Leather-Made Goat Head  Backpack'. These are all items that can be won in many colors and styles via The Arcade gacha machines. This is one machine worth playing! Azure's creations are always brilliant!

I have been dying for Jin Elfan of Leverocci to release more hair. She said she was not planning on doing so, but she ended up releasing this absolutely stunning new style called 'DIVA'. The name definitely suits the hair. It is long, super straight and gorgeous. It is all rigged mesh and I am positive that she baked the hair textures, since they are unbelievably realistic and perfect! 'DIVA' comes in every color imaginable and is also available on Marketplace. So DEMO it NOW!

aida Ewing just released a beautiful new skin, called "Summer". It is a Summerfest '13 exclusive and comes in several lovely make-ups and in 2 skins tones - America and Jamaica. I sincerely hope aida releases a whole a line of this skin, since it is simply divine. I strongly urge you to check-out Summerfest '13 now and try on some demos ASAP. 

Oh! I almost forgot! Ikon Innovia just releases more awesome eyes! They are called 'Ascension Eyes' and are basically a continuation of his 'Destiny Eyes', which were available at the 'The Boutique'.I am in love with  these eyes and he created 15 new colors to add to the collection. So, make sure you go to the IKON ainstore and try some on!

With that all said, here are your LMs and Credits:

This post is basically a continuation of my previous post, IKON Destiny Eyes. I think the title pretty much explains the main focus of the post - IKON's amazing Destiny eyes! For this entry, I wanted to focus on the fashion, which is not apparent in the previous one.
Giz Seorn of GizzA, just recently released this gorgeous mesh 'Jumper'. This creation is beautifully made, as all of Giz's creations are, and has a natural flow to it. I adore the chic, but relaxed feel to this jumper.The perfectly rendered texture adds to it's sense of movement. The 'Jumper' comes in a ton of colors. One especially nice feature of this creation, is that each jumper has a choice of two color options via HUD. I am wearing the brown 'Jumper', but the other HUD option is an Aqua tone. This is a yet another item to put on your Summer inventory list. Please do your self favor and head over to GizzA now and try on demo!

In my previous post, IKON Destiny Eyes, I spoke about all the gorgeous jewelry I was wearing. In these images, you can see some of the additional items I spoke about. I mentioned that AvaGardner Kungler (of Kunglers) recently released a gorgeous new collection, called "Primavera". It is composed of brilliant necklaces and rings that have a very organic feel to them. Think of over-sized and bejeweled wild flowers and fruit flies. I know these may sound like strange elements for a jewelry collection, but they are extremely stunning! For this post, I wearing Ava's 'Khloris' necklace and ring set in golden .

I wanted to add some other jewels, so I chose creations from Caelan Hancroft's (of Cae) divine new mesh collection called "Kasbah"! I love the exotic feel of this lovely collection. Since I was already wearing Ava's (of Kunglers) exquisite 'Khloris' necklace and ring, I chose to wear Cae's 'Kasbah' earrings, ring and bracelet for a sense of completion.Yes! I love accessories! Especially jewelry! Just so you know, the 'Kasbah' set is texture change (via script), which is always a bonus! The 'Kasbah' set is a FaMESHed exclusive this month, so make sure you TP over there and check it out! Please remember to go to Kunglers Extra ASAP, in order to check-out the new 'Primavera' collection!

The new round of The Arcade Gacha Event has started and is well underway! Even though this is not an Arcade inspired post - Trust me, I have plenty of Arcade inspired blog entries and images on their way- I figured I would mention the wonderful creations I'm wearing from this incredible event anyway! I am wearing a 'Triple Pyramid Studs Leather Cuff' in nude that is from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice. I am in love with these cuffs! They are edgy and classic at the same time. I am also wearing (Well, more like holding) another creation from Giz Seorn of Gizza. It is her 'Summer Bag' in daisy. Both of these accessories are most definitely worth trying your luck on. No matter which item(s) you win from the gacha machine, they are all gorgeous. Be sure to take a look at The Arcade Shopping Guide, so you can see all the fantastic items that the Arcade designer created, as well as all the color/textures/objects you have chance of winning!
