Hogwarts Advice!

Sorry, apparently I can't help it these days! 

Since I missed the early applications and I will need to wait till they will be opened again, in the meanwhile I decided to focus on the appearence of my character. Going through a lot of issues, including SL totally breaking the shape I made her and forcing me to create another one, in the end I'm still doubtful about one of the most important things: her skin! I've been gathering demos from, seriously, *everywhere* and spent several nights trying them on, but I'm in a real impasse.  

I'm showing you the 2 face candidates for my character, Layla, who should be 13-14 years old. If you wanted to share your preference, I'd be very thankful ;-) Feel free to comment here or on my flickr!

I warned you it was coming, and there it is.

The Hogwarts: Your Story sim is open to the public everyday from 6PM to 9AM SLT, so you can visit and check the amazing building even though it's still under construction. 

Hufflepuff Common Room

Slytherin Common Room

The sim is also hosting a small fair where you can get amazing themed items for your roleplay. 

I bought a lot of stuff in different moments and forgot to write down all the prices. But I can tell everything is quite affordable, besides a couple of exceptions, and many useful items like crests are freebies (which allows you to convert non-roleplay outfits in Hogwarts uniforms). 

I put together my looks using mainly items from the fair and observing the stunning genius of Anya Ohmai, who created 16 different avatars according to House, sex and age. Chapeau! Don't miss her post, it's simply amazing. 

You may also want to check the great look for "tough chick" by Vaki. 

Seriously, I've been drooling on their blogs for days.  

Style credits will be marked with an F for items available at the fair, and with NF for items purchased elsewhere. Body and poses credits at the end of the post. 

Winter is a bit too grown up for Hogwarts, I'm still working on a younger (and shorter) shape though, so she will be modeling Ravenclaw uniforms for us today. 

Please note: the slurs to the H: YS Fair WON'T WORK unless you're trying to go there between 6PM and 9AM SLT.

Hogwarts Mood

Warning: still away from home, logging in with my laptop, I didn't have time to install the latest viewers, so very ordinary pictures for now.

Thanks to the amazing Mary Potter from Sn@tch, today I'm back to a roleplay post!
This great outfit include 2 skirts, trousers, 3 socks, 3 sweaters and a shirt that you can mix and match at your own taste, as well as ballet flats and ties for all the Houses! I'm wearing everything in Ravenclaw, that is where I have always been sorted since when the first Harry Potter tests appeared on the net and actually my favourite House.

The best part is that Mary Potter is the Fishing Outfit available now in the Sn@tch pool. But if you're not patient, you can purchase it for 350L, as I did.

Talking of roleplay, I'm seriously thinking to finally join one, the upcoming Hogwarts: Your Story. I totally fell in love looking at their Flickr! I will prepare my application in the next days, so wish me luck!
