As cold as ice… and warmer than fire

It’s time for  The Trunk Show, and Bee and Solace at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Winter Splendour!

Winter Splendour comes in your choice of eight fabulous colours, some subtle (such as Ice, shown) and some bright and strong.  These are beautiful, and well suited for the Winter Dance!

I have a favourite set of earrings and necklace from EarthStones, the beautiful Twinkling Lights set, but it wouldn’t do for this.  Fortunately, another trip to EarthStones found the beautiful classy Snow Flurry set.  They’ve a beautiful little hud for silver and gold metal textures.

Once again, Bee and Solace at Silvan Moon Designs create a beautiful gown perfect for the season!   The Trunk Show is open now, so  stop by and pick up the demo today, and find your own winter spirit!

A gift from Day 10 of Glitter’s Advent Calendar.

This nice knit dress is only available in standard sized fits, hence there are a couple of tiny clipping issues with Lara.  As it’s not fitmesh, a couple of tiny tweaks to your shape may be required. But the texturing nearly makes up for any issues!  It looks really nice, just the thing for a winter’s day!

OK, since I’m in the Southern Hemisphere, and it’s summer, a Christmas themed swimsuit is fantastically appropriate!

This is the Day 13 Advent Calendar gift from Prism.

I’m so happy to see one piece swim suits making a comeback. I’ve always liked them more that bikinis 🙂

This one comes in sizes for classic smalls, classic larges, and specific fits for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, and Ebody.

Christmas Redemption

blue Events

This is my entry in the Flawless Collective Christmas photo competition, which closed last Friday.  I just happened to have used a nice bodysuit by Entice to set up a fallen angel themed outfit for a contest recently, so I thought I’d use that to do an entry.  The rules were simple, take a photo on one of the three sims from the Collective (this was taken at the Entice sim) and be wearing a piece of clothing from one of the Collective’s stores.

There were two main categories for entries, SL snapshots and retouched photos.  Obviously mine is in the latter category as I like to take huge pics in SL (usually around 4200 x 2200 pixels) so I can get good detail, save them to disk, then crop and resize them in Gimp.  For this photo, I also used Darktable to do some color balance, some sharpening, and to get more control over background blur than SL would allow me.  I also added some hair with my meager drawing skills.  As usual, I’m using a projector light to get the lighting effects on the avatar and the ground.

In addition to the two main categories, if a photo doesn’t win the grand prize, it automatically get considered for three themed prizes: most creative, best showing of holiday spirit, and best display of product.  Strangely, by doing a photo of the redemption of a fallen angel at Christmas time wearing a bodysuit by Entice, I think I have all of those covered lol

I can’t wait to see the results, which should be announced on either the 18th of December or the following Friday, as “Friday December 18th” as stated on their web page doesn’t exist on my calendar, at least for this year!

Here’s what I’m wearing:

Nighty night

This is the Advent gift from Entice’s calendar for day 13!

The lace detailing is super nice.  There are fits for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Lara.  The bodice has visible mesh structure (you can see the individual triangles).  Looks like someone forgot to hit the “Smooth” button in Blender, but it’s OK as long as you don’t cam too close.

I took these photos in our house.  I just wanted to point out that the bit of “artwork” over the fireplace is actually a photograph of a section of the Veil Nebula from the Hubble space telescope!  The universe is truly a beautiful and fascinating place!  Both Aeon and I love astronomical things, hence the number of objects I’ve built around astronomy 🙂

Lace Chocolate

OK, why do I keep finding lingerie to blog?  It seems that I’ll have to run out and do a hunt or something for some winter wear!  This set of lace is from Day 12 of Entice’s Advent Calendar.  Not very seasonal, but I don’t mind 🙂

The set consists of fitmesh bodice, panties with garters, and a skirt that are all separates.  It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.  The stocking are applier for Maitreya and Omega.

And here’s the skirt mentioned above.

Ivy Sweater

blue LotD

I seem to have been coming across lingerie and swimsuits lately so I thought I better find something for the season, and who doesn’t love a cute little sweater dress, tights, and boots during the colder weather?

The sweater dress comes in classic mesh sizes, plus fit mesh for eBody, Freya, Venus, Isis, Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, Find, Ocacin, and TMP.  I paired it with some leggings from a few years back, and one of my favorite pairs of calf boots!

Bundled up

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Winter brings snow, and time to bundle up!  My favourite coat is an older coat in rigged mesh from Mishmash Fusion!  It’s rigged mesh in the standard five sizes, but the coverage works really nicely even with mesh bodies!  Add some nice tights from Baby Monkey and you’re ready for some cold weather!

Mishmash Fusion has a whole host of different colours to choose from, with white and black fur lining.  The detail is lovely, and the colours are so nice and vibrant!  Stay warm!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
