These are the things we lost in the fire – News from The Forge, 50 Linden Friday at Belleza!!

Heya peeps!

So, after awfully long days of waiting (one week to be exact) I finally got my homestead. Damn, I didn’t knwo so MANY people want them, it’s a chore to find a good one sold by a reasonable seeming person. :O

So the past two days I have been buried into decorating, aside from being super duper busy in rl, too. I love decorating so, so, so much but there is one thing I really loathe: I absolutely dislike sims that use the same houses over and over again. For example, the same four houses by the same creator. I think that kind of habit is what makes many sims look so very boring. So in this case, I got houses from allll over the place, a wild mix. I am not sure yet, but so far, I like it.

The skin!

Girls, get this skin! It is Belleza’s offer for 50 Linden Fridays and I think it is one damned hell of a deal for this price. I am not usually a huge fan of Belleza because their facial features often are very string (the nose shading!) and many avis end up looking like clones, but this skin is SO cute. Look at these lips and the cute freckles. The make up is very subtle, too, so you can pretty much wear it for any occasion. For some reason, I did not even have to tweak my shape to make this skin look good (or decent, lol), which usually isn’t the case with Belleza. For me, it was an instant grab!

The (short) necklace!

I picked up this necklace by Half Deer (by Halogen Magic) a while ago, could swear it was at The Boutique, but I am not sure anymore. It unfortunately vanished into the depths of my 50k inventory and I only found it again today. Look how CUTE the little deer is done! The textures are so well drawn and the beads are really nicely placed, plus: I love the colours. Halogen Magic is someone you definitely should keep an eye on: I have done so for a good while now and her improvement is just great. She offers lots of cute little items at her store so make sure to check it out.

The headpiece!

Deccan Arida of The Forge dropped a folder on me the other day that contained his rare items for an upcoming gacha. I enjoyhis works I must say and this item is no different. Deccan, too, is a creator who actually listens to his customers which already is a biiiiig plus in my book. As per usual, the textures on this headpiece are very pretty and the meshwork is..well…perfect? At least I cannot find any fault with it. The amount of details on the piece itself is pretty awesome, too. However, the string, while easily resizeable since the whoel headpiece is one item, could have been a little prettier.

I admit that I am a little tired of headpieces lately. Yes, they are awesome and really can add to an outfit. But lately the influx of headpieces has just been a little much. I hope that the designers will consider other kinds of jewelry and accessories soon again and not just throw a gazillion of headpieces at us.
