Strange Pixels

I’ve been a bit out of the shopping habit lately, but I recently made up for it and then some at the PixelDolls sale.  Everything is L$ 50 or less!  But I’m not sure how long this sale will last, so get your butt over there if you haven’t already been.

The long skirts from PixelDolls are always some of my favorites.  The glitch-pants are well textured and mesh with the prims extremely well.  They’re flowy and slimline with no bulky prims.  They fit me almost directly out of the box.  And my favorite bit?  Neph never uses alpha textures on her long skirts, so there  is never any interference from shoe invisiprims.

During my recent shopping binge, I also stopped by the Skin Fair. I’m kind of a freebie snob, but I had to grab the dollarbies offered there from Imagen.

Imagen skins are lovely, and I adore all the imperfections like beauty marks and stray freckles.  I have to especially commend them for their excellent freebies.  As a matter of fact, the freebies and dollarbies I’ve picked up at Imagen have been some of my favorite skins from that shop.

The Skin Fair will continue until November 22, and is well worth visiting.

Also of note:  these amazing bracelets from Mandala.  I don’t usually go for no-mod accessories, but I couldn’t resist these gorgeous bronze lotuses.

I dropped by G Field to find a pretty necklace, and spotted these great ankle boots.  Even though they don’t really show in the pictures, I love to see a cool boot peeking out from under a long skirt when I walk.   I’ve tinted these to match the outfit better, and gods bless one of the few shops who still offer modifiable shoes. <3

When my friend Lucifer sent me a Landmark for Husky GFX, I was a bit dubious.  Sounds like a big n’ tall store, no?  So it sat in my inventory for a few days before I was bored enough to wander over.  Man, was I missing out by not going sooner.

Many of the pieces are fantasy or rp-oriented, but so well made that they can carry over quite well.

One of my favorites was Arwens Gown.

A deceptively simple black dress, with flowing lines and an ache-to-touch-it velvet texture.

The way it stretches across the lower back and tummy, and puckers slightly around the neckline, is just to die for

This particular dress could be gothed out quite easily, and I’ll probably punk it up myself for a future outfit.  For this shoot, though, I decided to go with the simple, classical, fae feeling of the outfit by adding a few pieces from the Irima jewelry set by Illusions, and a flowing, braided hair by Analog Dog.

Arwens Gown also came with a cloak and sculpted hood, which didn’t suit my purposes, but was very lovely nonetheless.

Credits and SLurls after the cut.
