Born to Be Wild at the Cart Sale

With the onset of spring rolling around, there’s lots of bright and happy dresses being pulled out of the closets and great sales going on. One of my favorite sales events is The Cart Sale @The Wash which offers all items for 10 lindens with the option of one item being 50L. Right now Spring Freshness is the theme of this round’s Cart Sale and there certainly is a lot of spring fever going on. I, for one, loved exploring the grittier side of the theme, which led me to get back onto my bike for a little ride around a new roleplay sim called Dark Edinburgh. Details on that in a bit.

Roped Passion is offering a wonderful selection of one sleeve tops and pants sets for 10L. The outfit I’m wearing is the 50L version that comes with matching heels for Slink and Maitreya feet. The outfit itself comes in many different mesh versions so you can find the best fit. Each color comes with standard mesh sizes as well as fitted meshes for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza bodies. I had no issues with fit and feel really sassy in it. Small detailing over the pants and top add a bit of sparkle without making it too girly. Biker and rocker girls will love this outfit. NOTE: Shoes are only included with the 50L version.

Another designer that took a different perspective on spring was Drusilla Dethly of !The Little Bat. You won’t find any flowers on her new dress or bow. No, you’ll find bats. Bats cover the cute short skirt and one takes center stage on the cameo bow. Both are only 10L at the Cart Sale. For shoes, I decided to pair the dress and bow with my new Mary Jane pumps from The Dark Fae. I really do adore these shoes because they are not super girly…or rather too nice girly.  The bow is cute, but the spikes and little skully on the heel add the perfect touch of goth to keep things fun and quirky.

Lastly, my nails are from [:Rad Designz:]. At the Cart Sale, there are 5 different styles of nails and each style has 6 variations. I’m wearing the Beaded Hearts on my Slink Casual Hands. All nail appliers come on one hud for easy application for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink hands. Bonus, the nails are also omega compatible. Buy each style for just 10L and have fun with your new sparkly fingers.

Lastly, I wanted to share this new roleplay sim that opened up not too long ago. It’s called Dark Edinburgh and it’s based on the Vampires of Masquerade roleplay from real life. Characters can be vampire, werewolf, mages (witch/wizard), or human. The roleplay is set in modern day Edinburgh and looks pretty cool. Check out the sim here and their website about the roleplay here. EDIT: Sim and website no longer available.

I’ll be sharing more from the Cart Sale soon. And don’t forget the Chicken Egg Hunt is still going on. Check out previous posts here and here for more info. Until then, happy Spring and happy shopping! 🙂 ❤

In My Bones

I’m breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I’m waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Every month, the designers at We ❤ RP astound me with their creativity and craftsmanship. I have a few favorite designers but this fair/market is a wonderful assembly of talented creators that I love to discover. Several pieces from this outfit are from this round of We ❤ RP. Most are current or past We ❤ RP contributors. It’s such an amazing gathering of talent that there just is not enough room in one blog to praise them all; so I will just have to highlight a few. 🙂

I will confess that the first item I bought from this month’s fair was…ehem… the owl/cat/gryphon you see sitting on my shoulder. In fact, I bought two color versions because they are simply too adorable to pass up and I may have to buy another one. These cute blended creatures are animated and come with both a wearable shoulder pet AND a rezzable version. Fair warning, you will not be able to quit cooing over their animations.

My shirt/romper/thing (what would you call it? o.o) is a lovely piece by Azuchi. It comes with several sizes including fitted for some mesh bodies e.g. Maitreya and Belleza. The textures on this piece are exquisite and realistic; the material looks just like leather. I am looking forward to seeing what else I can find from them. Only issue I had was some of my thigh peek through when I move from the fabric not lining up with my alpha slices, but nothing too revealing or noticeable. I’m sure with a small shape mod it would be fixed on my end.

Wings have always been fun for me to play with because one of my roleplay characters is half Fae. Any wings I find that are unique become a must have and Material Squirrel designed a set that appeals to my darker side. A light colored set is also available. The wings are mesh, come with a color change hud, and a hud that allows the user to change size, movement on/off, movement speed, and to hide them. I love that I can make them hide upon landing and the durability. They are not flexy wings. They are not flimsy wings. These wings exude power and strength only achieved through hard work and lots of flying. Well done Material Squirrel.

Lastly, I would like to mention the boots which are a past We ❤ RP item made by Moon Elixir. You see only the tops of them in the image, but trust me (or check my flickr image here) these boots are kick ass. Thigh high, laced up, and with the option of tassels, these boots are rock solid and perfect for any adventure one may embark on. As always with Moon Elixir, these boots come with a Hud with lots of color and metal options for the smaller pieces. With lots of color choices, you’re sure to find a pair you’ll love.

One more week of this month’s We ❤ RP. Grab the deals while you can.
