Style of Middle-earth

I would quickly like to apologize for getting this up late. I had scheduled this to post on Tuesday, while I was away visiting family for the Christmas holidays, but it never posted! I am very sorry about this! Yule Festival is officially my favorite LOTRO festival of all time. First off, the Winter Holiday season is my favorite time of the year. The snow, the Christmas trees, the presents, the food, the overall cheer. So every year, the Yule Festival makes me so excited to head back into Frostbluff, and participate in plays, build snowmen, disperse small snow storms, and more. But another reason I love this festival is because of the cosmetics: the Yule Festival cosmetics are absolutely magnificent. Sadly, the new cosmetics this year are very few in number, so I had to go for some cosmetics from previous years (but are still available from the vendors this year).  This style of shoulder pads is seriously wonderful, they are a sleek and very simple shoulder pad, but the c...

This my first post featuring a male model, and this week the model is my brother's warden! Even though my brother is definitely not a cosmetics person, he has still put together quite a nice outfit. A quick note on the name - yes, even though his warden is an elf, my brother and I decided on Warden of Rohan because of the lovely helm that is part of the piece. headshots :) The first thing I would like to talk about is the absolutely magnificent helmet. This helmet is available from the LOTRO store for turbine points, but I definitely think it is worth all the points you spend. The lovely horsehair like top fluff is such a staple piece of the Rohirric armour, and I seriously just love everything Rohan related :) the castles in Evendim are so lovely! saluting... what, I'm not sure.  The shoulder guards and the hauberk are both lovely LOTRO store pieces, but they are also worth all the points that you might pay for them. I specifically like how the there is a main...

I am going to be starting a series on this blog, titled "Crafted Sets with Cosmetic Value". I am going to be highlighting just that: armour sets that are crafted, that have very good potential as a full cosmetic set, or single pieces have nice cosmetic value. Introducing the first part of this series (I don't know entirely how long this series will be, bear with me). I would also like to say real quick that I am not going to stop posting regular cosmetic outfits weekly, this is just an addition. my love for headshots is never ending  Meet the first beautiful set I am highlighting: the heavy armour tier 6 set named Sellsword's Set. The set is based around curved lines, and has lovely shades of gold and dark blue throughout. using ports is a lovely way to get cool screenies, haha please forgive my obsession with this emote. At first sight, I absolutely fell in love with the incredible shoulder guards. They were just the thing my guardian needed - so...

and the headshot :)  This lovely set came about because of a few pieces, but more importantly, the Rivendell Green dye that a lovely kinmate made for me. spinning Thanks to Hymne of Cosmetic LOTRO for telling what the name of the emote was above. The spin emote has made me very excited for quite awhile. pointing at some invisible thing, no, wait, that's a boar. The story: After I became kin with the Mathom Society, I hurried to the faction representatives in Michel Delving to purchase the steed. As I was looking through the pieces available for purchase from the same faction vendor, I came across the hauberk of the Shirriff, and absolutely fell in love with how the design and color captured the essence of the Shire.  Later, after the Summer festival, I was going through my cosmetics in my vault as I do quite often, and I came across a cloak I had picked up during that festival. I tried it on, and found that it might match quite well with the Shirriff's Haub...
