Hey gothlings, so at the weekend I finally got to hang with *other people* as I was invited to a prom by a friend of mine, Arya Mcleod. I really am trying to make more friends this time around in SL. So it was nice to get dressed up for an event, rather than just to blog! Off course, I wanted to show you what I was wearing anyways, because it was sooo pretty and I truly felt like the Belle of the Ball!
All pics were taken here. The first and last photos were tasken by Arya McLeod. For a look at her photos, please check out her flickr.
Well I clearly started this post last week, but then things got busy here in RL due to my country returning to full lockdown again :/ so I didnt have time to post. Anyway, I'm still holding onto hope for this new year as the UK started rolling out its Covid vaccination programme just over a month ago and has now approved THREE different vaccination programmes, and with any luck I'll be getting mine soon as a keywoker, so bring on 2021!
Hey gothlings, so in RL I cant stand the snow as I hate being cold. But in SL, the snow is just sooo pretty to look at, and you dont feel the cold. So I couldn't resist pulling on this cute sweater dress from Secret Oktober- which I got from them while it was on sale for Dark Wednesday a couple of weeks back and heading out to explore some of the cute holiday themed sims that are around currently.

I want to take this opportunity to wish a great big Happy St Patrick's Day to all my Irish readers out there (do I have any Irish readers?? lol). Anyway's, as usual in SL there is a fun event ongoing to help you celebrate this special day and to help you look the part for any SL St. Pat's Day parties you may be going to, and that is the Luck of The Irish Fair. For all you gatcha-holics out there, this is a HUGE gatcha fair featuring TONS of your favourite designers with specially crafted gatcha items just for this event. Here's a look I made using mostly items from the fair.

skin:la petite morte ~ mellie ~ t1 ~ currently available at the Skin Fair, includes shape also worn,
and off course, no event coverage from me would be complete if I wasn't dead in a least one post, lol, so here's my final Gothmas post, which I've been thinking about since the event started, pretty much. However, I almost wasn't gonna bother posting it seeing as Gothmas is now closed, but I loved this lil reindeer from [Angelic Designs] soooo much that I HAD to do a post with him!! I was stumped for a while as to what I wanted to show alongside him, until I saw this adorable Christmas mourning table set from noctis, and this adorable 'Liberty' toga and accessories ensemble by papermoon, and it all seemed to come together from there :). The Christmtas tree and north- pole sign are also by [Angelic Designs] - thank you!
(check out my pics on flikr to see them in their original, larger format)

And, just because it is (was) the season, and all those gaudy lights made me think of it....
well time is indeed running out for Gothmas, but I still have a couple of things I want to show, so without further delay, here's the absolutely gorgeous Ginny outfit from The Little Bat, which is currently available at Gothmas. It is available in various colours, but I loved the serene look of the 'sky' version, I steampunked it up (just a little) with some gorgeous boots from Eudora 3D, and the steampunk-esq gun, and poses, from flash friendly poses - which are also available at Gothmas. The skin I'm wearing is still the gorgeous group gift skin from Glam Affair (I havent found anything else I like enough to make me want to take this off yet!!!), so make sure you grab that while its' still available. I complimented this look with make-up from beautiful freak and pin me down. Check out the credits for more info :)

A couple of things caught my eye, but I particularly liked this dress from Tasty Pudding, which I paired with the Muertos heels from The Little Bat. The gorgeous screen behind me is also included in this round of Horror Haute, and is by Inspired Designs. Finally, I added the delightful necklace that is Collisions' offering for Horror Haute this month.

... brought to you by The Black Market this month, is this adorable Steampunk styled outfit by adoness. I simply love the level of detail that has gone into this outfit, from the black lace underskirt, to the pocket watch detailing on the collar. I have teamed this dress with the absolutely adorable Timea ankle boots from lassitude & ennui (recently available at My Second Box... they will be available to buy in store in January). The adorable skin I am wearing is part of a series of winter/ holiday themed skins released by Aeva for the super-low price of L$100, head over there and snatch these up while they are still available, because they won't be around for much longer!!
