A Hairy Tale

Yesterday Adam n Eve launched a brand-new hair store, with 19 all new styles (including one freebie) and all new textures. I have followed sachi’s work on first the textures and then the hairs over several weeks now, and I am really impressed with the end result. There are some great hairs in this new collection, which will be rounded out by five more hairs once Hair Fair opens. Today, I am showing four of my favourites from the hairs that are now available in the store.

Since I selected some fairy formal and elegant styles, I’ve paired all the hairs with gowns from Evie’s Closet, including the latest release, the lovely Cariad gown.

Style Notes & Slurls

Skins: Faith Light, Hope Sunkissed Natural, Kalista Light 01 and Meredith Sunkissed Silver Shine by Tuli
Hairs: Contessa Blond, Valkyrie Blaze, Jervaise Brown and Linda Black by Adam n Eve
Clothes: Cariad Autumn, Sayige Ocean, Muse Limited Edition and Ophelia Passion Limited Edition by Evie's Closet

Evie’s Closet offers a lovely array of gowns for fairies, ladies and other elegant women. Though some are more fantastical than others, many of the designs can be used for so much more than just dressing up for roleplay. The gowns shown here are Cariad in Autumn, Sayige in Ocean, Muse in a Limited Edition and Ophelia Passion, also a Limited Edition.

What these gowns all have in common are excellent texturing, lovely colours and gorgeous movement to the flexi skirts. In some cases, I think more layering options might have been useful, though most of the time you would probably not pair these gowns up with much else.

Now for a closer look at these hairs. To the left we have Contessa in Blond. It features a big bun from which loose hair spills, and little ringlets around the face. Its both impressive and elegant, something to wear when you want to be the centre of attention. Next to it we have Valkyrie in Blaze (a gorgeous coppery red that may be my favourite from the new range of colours), and this is a somewhat more fantastical hair with an elaborate arrangement of braids. The rather severe look is again softened by little tendrils of hair, and these really add to the style.

Working both as a formal and as a more relaxed updo is Jervaise, here shown in Brown. There’s a lovely softness to the bun at the back, and to the sculpted bangs that curl down each side of the face. The final style is similar to Contessa in that it features some hair in a bun and some left loose. But Linda, shown in Black, leaves most of the hair loose and curling, and the bangs appear to be fairly casually arranged.

I imagine that many are saving up their pennies for the Hair Fair right now, but I would still strongly suggest a visit to Adam n Eve’s new hair store. The new hairs are available in 36 colours divided up into 9 packs of 4 colours each. The packs sell for L$ 299 and the whole set for L$ 1999, and the demos are free. Oh, and don’t miss that you can now use the Client Card (available for free at the store) to earn points when you purchase hairs or to purchase hairs with earned points.
