♥ Fall/Autumn Lookbook ♥

Hey pixies! Crystal here^^ 

How have you all been doing? Have you joined in on the whole Halloween and silly sweets fun on FairyABC yet? I’ve been wanting to post about it but I just couldn’t make it in time :(

Oh well, love the silly sweets sooo much though !

By the way, as you can see today I’m coming to you with something a little bit different than usual and that is …a fashion post!

More specifically a lookbook of the outfits I’ve been wearing in the Hollow since the first day of fall/autumn till now!! Thought it would be a good way to exchange some fashion inspo and ideas for new outfits with all of you fairy-fashionistas out there!!

And since it’s already November and everyone’s already preparing for winter, I thought I’d better post this already XD

Actually I had been making a lookbook since summer but I never got around to posting it :(

 Which is why there is now a new page available called ”LOOKBOOKS” where you’ll be able to find all of my outfits I’ve been wearing since FABC opened! <3

Now without further ado, here are the outfits!!:

                                                 "Fallen Leaves"

Christmas Reunion! ~All Pixies are invited!~ (Updated)

Hey there pixies!

How have you been doing this week? For me it was pretty tiring thanks to a certain Geometry teacher and a certain Geometry test… but oh well :P 

Once again, my network device is driving me nuts :P. you have no idea how many hardships I went through just to post this =.=… gosh, I have to get a new device ;_;..

Anyways, normally, I guess you would be expecting to see the part 2 of the “Pixie Hollow Memories” post right? I know, I know, that was what I was actually planning to write about …but… something occurred and I had to postpone it for next time… and that something is our SECOND PIXIE HOLLOW REUNION! 

To be exact, it’s a Christmas Reunion which makes it even cooler!

I thought, I immediately had to tell you about this, in order to give you the chance to make time for the reunion, and –unlike last time- organize better and let everyone know J (By the way, do you like the banner I made J  ? )

Once again, this meeting is organized with the help of all our dear bloggers and of course all fairies and sparrow-men are invited to take part in this special meeting full of fun and joy with our long lost pixie friends that we all have missed so much. (Also you can check Marigold’s amazing “L.A.F.F” program for a chance to find your lost  friends : https://marigoldsunjewel.wordpress.com/find-fairy-friends/ )

 This is also a great chance to reunite and to generally  “update”  once again the Pixie Hollow Community, be it Bloggers, Youtubers, Editors,simply Pixies and etc. J

Now on to the details! The meeting Is taking place at :

a.      Rose Morningmist’s Worlize version of Pixie Hollow for pixies older than 13 years old: https://www.worlize.com/PIXIEHOLLOW-Rose (Sign in before clicking the link)
(UPDATE:)

b.      At my chatbox here in PHLS  and also at Minerva's

c.       At another online world for pixies under 13 years old that YOU, voted, and the most voted world was: Fantage !!! SPECIFICALLY: At the Scarlet Starfish server,at the Forest! :)

As for the time and place, it was decided that the meeting will take place in the  28^th  of December and ends on the 31^st so that even pixies that will be travelling for the Holidays, will be able to attend! :)(UPDATE;) The time has been set for 10+  GMT+11 time . To learn all about what time that is for your country follow the link: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

Or if you’re feeling lazy just use this converter :P : http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/gmt-converter/# 

Otherwise,to get an idea of what I mean,take a look at this map : (Click for full size) 

Lastly, I’d like to explain a few things about Worlize, so that everyone can get what I’m talking about and will be able to access it easily.

 Worlize is an online game where you are actually able to create and customize your own ONLINE VIRTUAL WORLD. That’s why it has been so vastly used by several fairies in order to recreate Pixie Hollow. The game allows you to create your “home world” and decorate it using “props”, that is authorized artwork and images that you upload and usually have to edit using Photoshop in order to turn the background transparent and convert the files into a png ones. You can also use your own backgrounds or pre-made ones from Worlize as a ”scenery” for your world, and add music ,videos and avatars, that once again you can either create yourself or find online (it could be anything from png images of your favorite characters to gifs and animated “dolls”). Moreover, you can also upload an avatar for yourself from your computer or similarly “buy” one for free at any existing Worlize avatar shop, and of course you can change as many as you want. In the game you can visit a variety of different worlds shown in the map, created by the players with whom you can chat with ,become friends, visit their “home world” and send (free) gifts to. From what I’ve seen so far the game is completely free of charge ( you don’t have to pay using neither real or virtual money, even in-game products are free I think) and it has a ton of capabilities and customizing options, mainly because you create those yourself. It is not however very widely known, maybe because it requires a lot of work on the side of the players. That aside, it is indeed a somewhat good alternative for Pixie Hollow, although I do have to acknowledge the fact that it is not even half as good as PH was. It does though, an excellent job keeping the memory of our fairy home alive. And let’s be realists, recreating Pixie Hollow is more than hard to do, but even if that was achieved it would be terribly costly to maintain it (keeping the server online actually costs a lot of money), while Worlize is an easy to use ,free alternative .

And to learn how to use Worlize, then check out these tutorials on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvyJsU-3ykQ 

So..that’s all about today’s post J… (At least for once my post came out to be somewhat sort XD…I think ..;_; )

 I really hope to see you all at the reunion (I’ll mostly be at Worlize  ) and I’ll be more than happy to chat with you! J 

P.S: I’d like to thank Rose Mornignmist for once again working so hard on her Worlize world to prepare it for the reunion but mostly for giving us the idea of a Christmas meeting and putting everything together J And of course  any other Pixie or Blogger that kindly offered to help . :D

Rose has also posted the details herself so to check her blog follow the link: http://pixiehollowourbiggestsecret.blog.com/

Until next time, have fun, be awesome and don’t forget to tell all your pixie friends about this, either by contacting them via e-mail/phone or sharing this on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest , Google Plus, your Blog , at the Pixie Hollow Forums, Youtube or anywhere else you like really, there are sooo many choices J

Pixie Hollow's Rebirth?-The shattered pieces

UPDATE 2016: PIXIE HOLLOW IS BACK! 
Yes you read that right!Just read on~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2014:)
Hey everyone!

 It’s been a really long time! Spring is here, and the blog is updated to match the mood! :D What do you think ?

This time I really went out and took a break from everything, including the blog.. and were a little late to fulfill my promise to you.

So today, as you can see, I have a brand new post for you my pixies!(GET READY THIS IS GONNA BE HUGE :D ),(*If you manage to get till the end of this post I’ll give you an ICE-CREAM xD ,) 

Ok so , back to the topic now! I know that everybody is really sad about  Pixie Hollow Closing down.. and is hoping for it to reopen…Now I know that the title of this post  has probably confused you a bit ..right
well let me explain!

Despite being “burnt”  down , Pixie Hollow has actually revived through its ashes! :D That’s what I meant by it “Rebirth”.

Still… Maybe not as a whole, but that’s where the shattered pieces part comes in!

I’ve noticed everywhere (well almost everywhere..) in the web,  little parts of our favorite game, and  today I am going to introduce them to you!  I know how much you miss our beloved Pixie Hollow, so these “pieces” a.k.a games, will give you a bit of the feeling, wich that game used to give you ….

“The First piece”
2016 UPDATE!:

Hey guys! I'm in the very happy position to say that since the beggining of summer 2016 FairyABC -Pixie Hollow's Recreation- works once again and Pixie Hollow is REVIVED/BACK !
(The game is nothing like it was in 2015.Now it's a lot like the original!)

-click on the images-

The game is an amature project and still a work in progress so you might encounter some problems...In that case this post will be super helpful to get you started!:

On the blog's main page you can also find the latest updates for the game!
What follows is what I wrote back in 2014.You can just skip to the second piece if you want,just scroll down ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2014:

This is a video, I discovered just today, since I really had cut off most connections with any Pixie Hollow related stuff these months… . So it is a video on Youtube by Izzy Foxstone, giving us a bit of an info and a small preview, of the game .this now “famous” fellow  sparrow- man by the name of Wind Muddle, together with his friend Apple tried to make, this new Pixie Hollow, everybody was talking about these months after Pixie Hollow closed down! :D 

Unfortunatly, the website is unavailable for now as they are adding new features, and so I haven’t got to try it for myself and therefore won’t be able to tell you much on this L However I’ve got to say a HUGE bravo to Wind Muddle and Apple for taking up such a great and amazingly HARD project! To find out more here is the link to their facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1425878040974180&set=a.1388521301376521.1073741828.100006559929676&type=1&theater

and the link to  the video, so check for yourself:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQoFw0vdbeg

And this is also another related video I found :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE0nm04XZrI

As you can see it looks very much like Pixie Hollow, but the fairies are a lot bigger xD

(The pictures above were taken from Wind's and Apple's  Facebook Page)

“The Second piece”
2016 UPDATE!:
I'd just like to add here Rose Morningmist's recreation of Pixie Hollow on Worlize.Many people have recreated it on that website but I find Rose's version is by far the best one:
https://www.worlize.com/PIXIEHOLLOW-Rose

NOTE:In order for the link to work you have to already be logged in to Worlize!

Sneak Peak of Rose's PH:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2014:)

This is also  something really interesting and worth mentioning,similar to the first game I mentioned above, and it’s  something I “discovered”  thanks to this blog’s very own comment section! So BIG THANKS to Ethereal Spark for making that comment! She has actually tried to recreate the game, using  an app called   Worliz that lets you create your own online world! I think it is very nice  and she really worked hard for it! I visited it myself, and I found a few fairies hanging around there! 

Although I kinda failed to make my avatar the right size so I’m a bit ….  huge! XD (and the wings are a fail too -.-) .OK so in conclusion..my avatar is a fail ... but who cares, i'll work on that....someday!..maybe 0.0

Therefore I think you guys should spread the word! This is the link to her “Pixie Hollow” :

https://www.worlize.com/user_session/new
If this link doesn't work then you can go ahead and try the link in the description of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYt3UoKNusU

Also here is the blog of the Worlize Pixie Hollow:
http://worlizepixiehollow.blogspot.gr/
They are actually organising a party on May 17th! :P (For more info visit their blog!)

So...I decided to do a little review of this little version of PH! :D

Now..i won’t lie to you…don’t expect this to be like Pixie Hollow as we knew it. 

Since, something like that is EXTREMLY hard to make, exceeding  a fan’s abilities…

But I tried making my own world there too,(not a fairy –one though :P ) and I can assure you it needs a LOT hard work to make one. Anyways, back to the review.

First things first, Ethereal Spark has made a great job creating all the meadows and using the same soundtrack for them as the one used in the game! Awesome, you go girl! (You can find all the meadows at the map, wich is the same as in the normal Pixie Hollow :D )Although the backgroung has been altered a bit by trying to make it the right size...but it's the thought that matters,right ? :) :P.
 And as you enter every new place you can also watch a related video from Youtube! :D

Here you can see Dewdrop Vale, and i have on an different avatar that i got in Queen's Boutique :P

She has also recreated the shops , where you can get a pre-made fairy avatar,(most of avatars are really well made :) , and of course it's totally free! :D

 Otherwise, everyone can upload their own fairy-avatar, and that could even be the picture of the fairy or sparrowman  you used to own in PH! :O! (Although here ,I have to mention that you would have to use Photoshop or GIMP and ect , to make  its background  transparent, and stuff like that)

Now another great thing is that you can of course chat with other fairies! :D Wich means that you can have a place where you and your friends can meet up again! J

However the bad news  is that you can’t really own a fairy home,it only exists there as a place and all the fairy homes are kind of.. how do i say this :P.... well see for yourself :

 However, you can always create your own  fairy room in your  own world! :D And you might not be able to play the same games as in PH, but that would be too much to ask anyways :P !

So that’s pretty much it, I’ll let you explore the rest for yourself! :D Everyone can also comment below and maybe propose some things Ethereal Spark could try adding in, in the game, and I shall contact her and let her know! :D

“The Third Piece”
UPDATE 2016:
I think most people already know this by now but "Harvest Hustle" one of Pixie Hollow's minigames is back!How awesome is that ? :D
Just click below to play ;)

"The Fourth Piece" 

(2014)
So this one, had caused quite an uproar and excitement back when Pixie Hollow had closed down. It is no other than  -as most of us call it-  “The Asian /Chinese Pixie Hollow”, although its name in Chinese is actually translated as “Litlle Flower Fairy” .

Now this is not really Pixie Hollow, but a Chinese game that has many common features with out Pixie Hollow. It is actually really cool from what I’ve been told and from what I’ve seen in videos my friends recorded, but personally when I tried to play it I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. That is of course no wonder since..erm the game is in Chinese and I might speak English,.. French and Greek.. but I don’t speak any Chinese so… I was totally lost there.. 
Despite that if you are Chinese, or speak Chinese you should definitely  give it a try! :D And if you’re a fan of Manga and Anime you will definitely find this cute! ^^ Otherwise, you could go through the trouble of watching some tutorials on how it works..but that’s gonna be a bit tiring !(Seriously.. it's a a real pain -.- )

Well, whatever, here is the link for those interested:

UPDATES/EXTRAS:

“The Fifth piece”

One day, I was wandering around the official  "Disney Fairies" website , and discovered this (once new ) , game called "Pixie Party Couture".

http://www.disney.co.uk/disney-fairies/pixie-party-couture

When you enter the game you are “invited to the Purple Moon Party” from the rest of the famous fairies,

and so you have to mix-match some random clothes in a matching “cards” game and create outfits.

 In the game you gain extra points by making some “combos” or getting extra talent points by matching the clothes that belong to a fairy from a specific talent like so:

  

 Tinker talent bonus

Water talent bonus.

    Fast flying fairy bonus.

By gaining points, you level up and gain Credits with which you can buy clothes for your fairy’s wardrobe.

Except from the clothes and accessories though ,you can’t really personalize your fairy which is pretty disappointing, but at least, I guess it reminds you a bit of how it was to dress your fairy up back when PH was open J

Finally you can alays print your fairy! :D

“The Sixth Piece”
2016 UPDATE!:
You may or may not know this but "Create a Fairy" UK doesn't work anymore! :(
Fortunately you can still play the game on the french website,it's pretty much the same:
                                                                 -click on the image-

The only difference you might encounter is with the names,because some words are in French...Well it's not a bid deal.Let me know If you'd like me to make an english tutorial though since I speak French (just comment below ^^)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2014:)

Now this is something you ALL know!(I think... 0.0 )
 It is of course as many of you call it “The UK’s Pixie Hollow”, actually the game is called “Create a Fairy” and can be found on the U.K version  of the website. http://www.disney.co.uk/disney-fairies/create-a-fairy-activity?

(NOTE!: Let me mention here, that for this game too, you need an account in the uk website ,in order for your changes to be saved!!! )

The game, offers you the chance to get a bit of a taste from the old Hollow. It allows you to choose a talent,

 customize a fairy exactly like in the Old Pixie Hollow, by changing its skin, hair, eyes ,wings and posture and of course its clothes! :D

Here take a look:

You can also, give it a name, using the same way as in PH! :p (I chose a random name here)

 Finally, you can customize your avatar's home, choosing from a small variety of furniture, but some really cute and magical ones! :D (In my opinion at least .. )

When you’re done with that ,you can always invite your friends to visit your page J And yes, you do have a Pixie Page, that looks almost exactly like the one you were used to!If you want to,you can visit mine here :D :

http://www.disney.co.uk/disney-fairies/create-a-fairy-activity?address=92543WishingWaterFalls

Now that was it for this post, hope you enjoyed  it and I’ll let you know if there’s any new of Ph reopening ! :D
(P.S:T o know when there's gonna be a new post, you could join the blog's newsletter or become a member, which is totally FREE)

Fly with you pixies later <3
