I just want to comment on this sim too.  This is the Loch Ness Inn at the Highlands of Scotland.  It’s beautiful and well worth your time for a visit, be it for photography or dancing or just exploring!

Ohhh, Miley

Aeon Reviews, Sponsored

When I look at you, you hit me like a wrecking ball… I adore you, we can’t stop.

Okay, yes I can.  I can stop that anytime.  But it’s truth that the latest from Fi’s Creations is wonderfully adorable.  Fi brings us the Miley knit dress, 100% mesh in five standard sizes, with matching system layer tights.Miley_011

I’ve added some lovely high boots from Baby Monkey.  They’re Slink High compatible, but work just fine without the feets, of course.

Miley_016

Miley is available in four palette versions, each comes with a HUD featuring three textures, with matching tights for each one.  The above pics are from the #04 (in the bottom right HUD below).

I was naturally attracted to the green, but blue definitely suits me well, I think.

Ohh, did I mention?  Baby Monkey’s boots have their own colour-change HUD as well!

Aloha and mahalo, my friends!

Cupid Cutie

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Another item from the Stupid Cupid Hunt today, a pretty B&P set from Facepalm.  This only comes on a tattoo layer and appliers, which is interesting to see designers leaving out system layers.  I’ve always preferred mesh clothing as I think it looks more realistic, but with the advent of mesh bodies, and the better resolution it seems to give with appliers, “system” is big again.  This outfit comes with a mega-HUD with appliers for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, Eve, and Omega.

Normally I would have included my feet in my photos but for some reason there is no applier or sock option or anything to complete the stockings included in the outfit.  I could easily make something up, as I’ve shown you before, but you can just use your imagination for the time being 🙂

Lovestruck

Another Valentine’s Day hunt item today, this time from The Loving Kind Hunt.  Fitmesh for Maitreya is my absolute favourite when it comes to dresses, and this one is no exception.  The dress also comes in the five standard sizes.

I thought it was about time I gave you a look at these sandals too.  I’ve worn them in a few outfits since finding them.  I hunted around for something like them for hours one day, and while they are still not exactly what I was after they had the benefit of having a fantastic 40 colour HUD for the straps (which even lets you individually texture all three straps), and 5 texture options for the shoes themselves!  And shhh, don’t tell anyone, they were only L$125 with versions for Slink and Maitreya Mids.  I think I can hear the stampede now 🙂

A Queen for my Heart

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I must admit, Valentine’s Day has never been my favourite occasion.  As a child, waiting to see who would leave you little paper notes and treats: were they hastily scribbled or carefully written?  And as we grow older, it only becomes more laden with drama.   But what’s else should we expect for a holiday commemorating a Chicago gangland massacre?

Put aside your wary eye: Blue Moon Enterprises has something to make you smile for this Valentine’s Day.  Solas brings us the Queen of Hearts, a beautiful regal mesh gown and collar, perfect for the ball.

QueenofHearts_001

As with all of Blue Moon’s work, the attention to detail is exquisite.  The embroidery on the front panel is luxurious, and I love the detail on the sleeves, particularly the laces.
 QueenofHearts_003Queen of Hearts is all mesh, and comes in five sizes.  Ohhh, yes, and it won’t even dent the royal treasury: this priceless Queen is Blue Moon’s free gift to you for the month of February!QueenofHearts_004

You’ll need a good updo to work with the high collar.  Plenty of pins, please!

QueenofHearts_006_e

Slip the collar off, and a gown suited for a queen takes on a softer look.  I’ve also added the necklace that matches my earrings, from Two Sisters Treasures.  The For Her Heart set was a group gift at that point, and does not appear to be available for sale currently, but it’s been one of my favourites, and a definite go-to.

QueenofHearts_011

I particularly like that the hearts, while present, are somewhat understated (at least, by my eye).  It’s not limited to February wear!

Perhaps I might get to like V-Day after all.  All the same, I think I’ll avoid urban alleys this month.

Whoever you share this holiday with – that special woman, man, partner, friend, cat, dog, I wish you happiness!

And the Queen for my Heart?  Of her there should be no doubt.

Aloha, my friends!

A fair breeze

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A flutter of wings, and a lovely dress for the coming spring!  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises has made a wonderful contribution to Fair Play, the fantasy extravaganza running now to the end of February.  Breeze as an lovely design to bring out your inner nymph!

BlueMoon_FairPlay_026

Breeze comes with two fitted mesh versions – one fit for the standard SL avatar, the other fit to the Slink Physique body.

BlueMoon_FairPlay_022

Breeze features four lovely colours, from forest (which you surely knew would be my first choice!) to the brown shades of earth, black night, and blue river.

Blue Moon has really made an impression on me with the attention to detail.  I love the lacing on the bracers, as well as the embroidered celtic knots on the corset.

BlueMoon_FairPlay_003

My wings are a lovely layered group from Bakki Beeswing at Fable Workshop.  Bakki makes some beautiful wings, and does some very nice work in layering different wing sets to produce a full multi-textured effect.  Yes, I am wearing all three of those sets of wings simultaneously!

Let me fold my wings to show you the detail on the back of the corset.

BlueMoon_FairPlay_011_crop

I really appreciate mixing and matching.  The poncho collar is a separate piece and is easily removed for the bare-shouldered look.  I particularly like the included leggings – and the ability to do without on the warmer days.  Now, a quick word of warning – in the above pic, I’ve mixed the earth leggings with the forest outfit.  That really sets off the brown embroidery in the corset and bracers!

BlueMoon_FairPlay_012

Breeze is currently available at Fair Play until the end of February.  I thoroughly encourage you to stop by and take a look, and please visit Fable Workshop as well!

Little Caprice

Here is an absolutely adorable fae outfit from Wishbox, that was on the MM board in store recently.  I searched the store for a vendor with the outfit but didn’t find it, which seems a pity, but it is available on the marketplace.  While there are no appliers in this kit, all the pieces of clothing and ornamentation come with resize scripts, which allowed me to easily wear this with Lara.
