High Seas Adventures

High Seas Adventures

With the No_Anchor style from No.Match, you are ready to set sail and embark on a high seas adventure. Out not at We Love Role-Play, the style includes both male and female fits and a hud for customising the textures of the rakish hat. The Ephiane tunic from Senzafine is also available at the event, as are the Florence boots by Evil Baby. I admit, those are a bit more Victorian high fashion than high seas, but who says a pirate can’t be stylish?

The ship is my old favourite, Neptune’s Revenge from Rustica, sailing the tropical seas of Kingdom of Islands landscape by Landscapes Unlimited.

Dragon Cave

Dragon Cave

The February round of We Love Role-Play is open and waiting for you, and of course there is a handy shopping guide available to plan your trip.

I decided to start off with some cave exploration which could have ended badly as the cave was already occupied. Fortunately, the fierce beast was mesmerized by the magic crystal I carried with me. Or perhaps it was the very minimal Lirio dress by Aitne that the coppery dragon was so taken with? It certainly does not leave much to the imagination and shows off the Soleil tattoo by Aerth very nicely.

New-ish, but not from WLRP, is the Fluffy hair from Wasabi, featuring two pigtails taming a very curly hair.

Shop & Hop With Love

Shop & Hop With Love

The 2025 Valentine Shop & Hop opened a few days ago. I haven’t had time to go through it all yet, but with the handy guide (see the previous link) you can always hit your favourite stores first. For me, it was deviousMind and Teegle this time around. deviousMind to pick up this gorgeous gift outfit which comes in red or pink and Teegle to make up my mind as to which of the 100 new PBR coats I wanted to buy. That was not an easy task! There are so many gorgeous new coats for both the dogs and the horses, and I am sure I will be back for more (they are at 20% off at the Shop & Hop), but for now I picked up Pearl (the light grey) and Sizzle (the sorrel).

The Amour hair from Wasabi, with optional hearts sprinkled all through it, was a Happy Weekend special a few weeks ago, but seeing as it was so well suited to the Valentine-themed gown I just had to wear it now. I do love a long and flowing style, and it matches the beautiful manes on the horses. ;)

Lounging in Style

Lounging in Style

For Midnight Order, Grasshopper Street takes you back to the early 20th century with a daring lounging set in silk tulle and satin and a matching turban that is sold separately. The texture huds include both pre-set textures and further tinting abilities. The Zelda pumps are an earlier release, but matched well in style and colour to the lounging set.

For lounging, I am using the Ladies Chaise from the Swan Lake series by DICTATORSHOP, a very opulent line of furnishings with a nice selection of animations. This version of the chaise has single animations, PG couple animations and Adult couple (MF) animations. The matching dressing screen can be glimpsed in the mirror, which is the Ornate Mirror from Dutchie.

The beautiful pale skin is Nar Mattaru’s Hela, worn on Kaya.
