I think I've posted this cute LaraX top from Pixicat before, but happy to finally have my wardrobe render in the pic instead of just black shadow blobs.

Decorations started!

I can only hear this in my head, it the most outrageous Valley Girl type voice ... "My name's like totally Brandi Candycane, with an "i"!"

Thank you @Caldora Beaumont !!!

75L for Jodie! I'm in for that!

Looks like a classic square Tuscan-style tower with what's commonly referred to as a "lantern" on top. Already a premium plus member so this will be interesting.

When a man and a lady really like one another ... they call the stork and get a baby delivered! That's how it works, right? Cause no one was getting into the details in that other recent thread, so I have to go with what my mom told me.

Thought I'd start a quick show and tell topic about LaraX fashion. While it's super to see a number of well known designers and creators just starting to release new clothes (or update old ones) for LaraX and LaraX Petite, I'd like to be able to have a magic wand to make some of my very favourite Lara outfits available for LaraX. You probably do as well! So let's play show and tell. Here are the rules: Post an outfit you'd love to have for LaraX right this second. No waiting, it just magically appears. If you can, show us a picture and link to the MP or store. Give a thumbs up to any you like so any creators who wander in can see what we're all looking forward to, no need to quote, that thumbs up is an indicator of popularity. So here we go!

I think everyone's mileage may vary on this question, @Scylla Rhiadra, but I'm in the "no more Lara purchases" camp at this point. I have more than enough outfits to be happy—who am I kidding, I have way more outfits than I need or ever wear for my Lara—so am happy to simply buy nice outfits to replace or update the 1/4 of my large wardrobe I consider favourites for LaraX at this point. As an example I have a folder in my Outfits called Dresses. Inside that are three subfolders ... Favourites, Club, and Regular. These have about 20, 5–10, and 40 dress outfits respectively. That's a similar structure to every other top level outfit folder like Casual, Formal, etc. I never even look into the regular folders anymore. That's how many nice but not really stunning outfits I've bought over only the past three years. I wear what's in the Favorites (and club when necessary) folders only. I really don't need more dresses when I already have 20–25 I would choose to wear happily. Am I still missing a gown and cocktail dress I like for LaraX? Yes, because I haven't seen any yet I really like at all. Are my dozen or so favourite stores not yet releasing very much for LaraX? No, they're not, but that's fine, it allows me to be more picky with making sure I absolutely love the new LaraX stuff I will buy as my style is much more refined and defined than it was when I first got here three years ago. But as those places do release things, it's all LaraX for me from now on. So that's Mimikri, Ecru, Just Because, amias, Neve, Tres Blah, Glitzz, Ricielli, Dead Doll, Bauhaus, fashionably dead, ValentinaE, 1313 Mockingbird, COCO, Tori T, ISON, Giz Seorn, erratic, plus a dash of Seniha and Poison Rouge and Hilly Haalan and Tetra and a few others. Plus lingerie. Can't wait for these ones to release more LaraX. PS. If I could wave a wand and make magic happen I desperately want two outfits updated for LaraX. Probably more, but the two that I adore and want badly are the VJERA capris and top from amias, and the Peggy Sue cocktail dress from 1313. Please, please, please. I started a new thread for the magic wand wish list!

Yup, Luna, 6" of snow here and a wind chill the other morning about -12C. Fun? No. Peeve. Snow. I can take cold, but snow? No.

Speaking of rocking a holiday look, this picture is super sweet!

More LaraX this morning. One of two new outfits for that body, other one is workout gear. This one is pants by ISON, and latest top from Pixicat in a fat pack because her patterns rock.

And an aside, welcome to SL!

And their disappearing partner had nothing at all to do with you asking for asking for a 55 gallon plastic barrel and powdered lime for your birthday, hmm? 🤔

Gorgeous clothing, I want to know more about the background and photo, where was that taken or who makes the backdrop?

I have only a half dozen or so outfits so far, and still missing that all important cocktail dress and a formal gown, but when those appear I'm done for. Thankfully, many of the creators I have in my favourite clothing LM folder have not released anything at all—or only 1 or 2 that I didn't like, such as ValentinaE and a weird gown with cutouts by Just Because—but when they start, like you, my Linden wallet is doomed.

People are now using "LaraX" in their listings for things that have nothing at all to do with LaraX. Not clothes, BoM body skin, shapes. Stuff unrelated to LaraX to get them to surface up in that popular search term. I've reported one that popped up this morning.

More LaraX with the latest from Tori Torricelli ...

I put "Sid Nagy Approved" in all my listings.
