Grunge

As Aeon said “Wow… that’s quite a texture!”  Yep, it sure is, and some huge platforms to boot!

The dress comes in standard sizes, and has fitmesh for Maitreya and Slink Physique and Hourglass.  Also included are some black panties (no, I didn’t take a photo!) on system layers and Slink, Omega, Belleza, and Maitreya appliers.

And of course, those platforms!  Again, the designer has included versions to fit slink, Maitreya, and Belleza feet.  Wonderful!

The Roaring Twenties by the Light of the Moon

There are some eras that always seem a little more glamorous, a little more sparkly.  One of my favourites is the Roaring Twenties, that amazing decade between the end of The Great War and the beginning of The Great Depression — filled with jazz, booze, and gangsters.  Women found their voice with the right of franchise in the US in 1920, and celebrated their freedoms and their choices in music and in dance.

As an exclusive for the Lovecraft Festival (Lovefest), Silvan Moon Designs brings us an homage to the Roaring Twenties in Ain’t Misbehavin’, a beaded all-mesh dress in four perfect shades.
AintMisbehavin_c015

Dressed by Lexi rounded out this outfit with Maui Pearls, perfect flapper-era shoes, and the Tantalize jewelry set (earrings and armlets).   I really love mixing and matching from different outfits to get the right look.  Ain’t Misbehavin’ includes that treat headband, shaded for each of the dresses!

AintMisbehavin_c014Ain’t Misbehavin’ comes in four shades, three of them shown here for your perusal.

There’s one more shade, a beautiful rose, but you’ll have to stop by the Lovecraft Festival and check that one out yourself.

AND — before I forget, the creators of Silvan Moon Designs — Solas (of Blue Moon Enterprises) and Bee (of The White Armory) — have additional news!  Solas has moved Blue Moon’s inworld mainstore to The White Armory sim.  You can find satisfy all of your era-specific clothing at the same sim!  Stop on by and visit!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Be anything

It’s been a while since I’ve shown you something out of the ordinary, so today I thought I’d show you a fantastic little avatar I bought for an event ohhh, quite some time ago now.  The theme was “Best Animal” and at the time, I had absolutely nothing in the way of alternate body shapes or furry stuff.  So I went searching on marketplace and found this little cutey.

jerboa_001

Yes, dear reader, this is an avatar!  Tiny, isn’t it? 🙂

The kit from Scribbles Habilis comes with all the body parts, and a really really good AO that you wear to make your jerboa hop just right!  I love how you can be literally anything in SL!

A quick story about this avi.  I wore it to the event, and a good friend of mine turned up as an owl.  I promptly went “eeek” and she spent the event chasing around the dance floor trying to catch me!  You have to admit, in avatars like a tiny jerboa and an owl, it’s pretty hard to dance lol

Lace and mustard

The mustard highlights on this pretty lace gown are just lovely!  No gowns have come my way for quite some time, and now I have two new ones in less than a week 🙂  It also gives me a wonderful opportunity to show off a new jewelry set from Beloved!

pearl and mustard_004

The gown is prim, with system layer pants and top that also come as Omega, Slink, EVE, and Maitreya appliers.  The gauzy upward ruffle is just lovely, and moves around nicely producing a gorgeous shimmery effect.

And oh my, Kimbra from Beloved is just amazing!  She keeps producing these wonderful pieces of jewelry that just make you go “Wow!”  As usual, this is fully texture changeable, so you can select the metals, gem, and accent gems to suit your outfit, and the set includes matching earrings.  If you do your shopping at the larger jewelry stores, do yourself a huge favour and go and visit her store for some astonishing pieces at some very reasonable prices!

Get your batiks on Route 66!

I stopped by the Route 66 Celebration in Mieville to enjoy a little slice of the American Southwest along Route 66!

Kerryth at Spyralle has a couple new items at Route 66, including three new Royal batik fabrics for her lovely mesh mu’u mu’u!
PalmGrove_c003

The mu’u mu’u is mesh in the five standard sizes, with attached sleeves, and works well with my Physique body.  I’ve paired it with some of my favourite go-tos — a plumeria necklace and a plumeria headpiece from Island Style Designs, as well as my recently-acquired honu earrings — also from Spyralle.

PalmGrove_c004For the guys, Spyrall offers matching shirts that look just fab.  But it doesn’t sound as if either the shirts or the mu’u mu’us are going to be in the main store any time soon, so you’d better dash to Route 66 by August 14th if you want to pick them up before the cold weather moves in!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Bethani

Ana Markova has recently started doing fitmesh clothing yay!  Here’s August’s group gift.  The group is only L$100 to join, and with group gifts like this, it’s surely worth it.

bethani_001

Besides coming in the standard rigged mesh sizes, the shorts also come in fitmesh sizes for Hourglass, Freya, Isis. Maitreya, Slink, and TMP.  The top is also in standard sizes and while it only has a fitmesh version for Slink, it’s easy to get a size to fit Lara.

The magic of summer

Blue Moon Enterprises is currently participating in the Creations Park Shop, and is offering you an incentive to stop by and check it out.

100% of all proceeds from items sold at Creations Park go to Team Fox for research into treating Parkinson’s Disease.

SummerFae_c12

Summer Fae is a beautiful all-mesh two-layer dress and wings that I’m fairly sure must be made of pure fairy sparkles.  The wings are unscripted, but have a lovely gentle flutter to them – and the texture is gorgeous.

SummerFae_c09

Even if you fold your wings, you are still made of magic.
SummerFae_c05

Slip off the overdress…. and you have a classy number ready for an evening out.

SummerFae_c02

Solas already has a lovely August group gift out, this one is a bonus for the event.  Stop by Creations Park, pick up Summer Fae, and spend a few lindens.  You’ll help Team Fox fight against a nasty debilitating condition, and find some fantastic treasures for yourself!

Mahalo! A hui hou!


A jewel for royalty

Sometimes I’m just utterly amazed.  There are such incredible products out there in SL, and they keep getting better and better.  Eternal Jewel, the latest offering from Silvan Moon Designs for the Fantasy Gacha Carnival is just one of those amazing pieces.

Eternal Jewel is all-mesh, and like all of Silvan Moon Designs‘ products, comes in the five standard mesh sizes as well as Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fitmesh.EternalJewel_c001

Now, I’ll tell you — Eternal Jewel has four common components (gown, overskirt, sleeves and belt), a rare crown, and an ultrarare colour-change HUD with seven different colours (green, aqua, blue, violet, red, white, black).   You can look at Blue Moon’s blog site to see the vendor pics featuring the HUD and one of the solid-colour schemes.  But what caught my eye was the ability to independently set the six different components of the outfit — and create your own distinct look. There are just too many options, but you can find some of my favourites below!

The Fantasy Gacha Carnival opens TODAY, August 7 SLT!  Please stop by — there are just too many treasures to pass up!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
