Bling Valentine

I’m glad the bling bit of the name is nothing other than that, part of the name 🙂  This is another cute dress from the Romancify Your Body Hunt, which finishes on the 28th of February, so you better hurry if you want to grab it for FREE!

The dress comes in classic sizes, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Isis, Freya, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.  This is a really well rigged dress and you won’t have any problems with it even in extreme poses.

My hairstyle is also a free gift from the hunt, and is by Like Designs, on of my fav shoe creators.  Recently, they have made some forays into mesh hair, and while I really like this style for the braid, the rigging is a little lacking on the ringlets at the front (I had to retouch the last photo).


A taste of the East

Happy Monday, my lovely friends!  I just wanted to share this beautiful little cheongsam that I picked up recently from Emerald Couture at The Wash.

The dress comes in the five standard rigged mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for all your favourite bodies — all three Belleza, both SLink, Maitreay, both Tonic, TMP, and Ebody.  You’re well taken care of!

I really love to see fine mesh work and beautiful texturing come together in such a lovely package, it really sets a high bar for clothing in SL.
Have a wonderfully happy Monday everyone.  Mahalo!  A hui hou!


50 Cats

Cica Ghost is an artist and resident of SL.  She does regular art exhibitions and sometimes they are really really wonderful!  Case in point was 50 Cats.  Unfortunately I found out about it on the last day of the exhibition, and it’s now closed.  I hope you all got to see it days before I did.  Here are two pics I took, and you can see more on Cica’s Flickr page.

I love the mice drawn on the wall 🙂


Adored

Here’s another super cute dress from Romancify Your Body Hunt, which finishes on the 28th of February, so you still have a few days to find the hunt items!  This is a FREE hunt!

The dress is in fitmesh for classic, Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Hourglass, Physique, Fine, Curvy, Ocacin, and TMP.


Get me to the beach!

I am so ready for the Sun.  It will burn me to a crisp if I’m not careful, but I need the Sun and the warmth, I need the waves at my ankles, I need the smell of flowers in the air.

And Nickki Romano at Island Style Designs knows it, and is ready for us.  Nickki’s been gone a while but has brought ISD back in fine fashion with new fitmesh clothing in her distinctly beautiful island patterns! I get to show you the lovely Lokilani today, available in a twenty different textures!  

Nickki has thankfully included fitmesh for all of the major bodies — all three Belleza bodies, both SLink, and Maitreya, as well as TMP, plus about three rigged mesh sizes.

I’ve also been shopping for hair lately — who doesn’t love a new style?  It’s rough for those of us with curly hair, though — I still haven’t found good mesh-only curly hair.  But I did find some lovely new styles from *ARGRACE* that suit me just fine!  I love Karin, it has these optional whisps that you can either wear forward over your shoulders or back behind your back.  They’re a lovely little touch!

Stop on by Island Style Designs and see what new things Nickki has been creating for us.  There’s more coming that I am very excited to show you, so stay tuned.

Happy aloha Friday, everyone!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The Romancify Your Body Hunt is on until the end of February.  It’s only a little hunt, but it’s worth it for this dress alone.

It comes in fitmesh for classic avatars, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Ocacin, Physique, Hourglass, TMP, Curvy, and Fine

I really wanted to wear tights with it, but the semi transparent front panels make that impossible, so I settled for thigh high boots instead 🙂


Sober

Believe it or not, I’m still opening Advent gifts at the end of February!

This top and pants set was two gifts on two consecutive days at Entice.  The top comes in fitmesh sizes for basically everything, and the pants are sized for fitmesh Classic, plus Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, and Physique.

This is one shade of red that I can wear without reaching for the hair dye; it’s dark enough so it highlights my hair instead of detracting from it 🙂


Snow play

A group gift of some snow pants, plus watching the Winter Olympics, has inspired me to go and learn to snowboard 😉

And if you believe that, I’m sure I have a bridge that you can purchase for a bargain basement price somewhere!  In reality, I knew I had the snowboard pants, which are fitmesh and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass, but I didn’t know if I had anything else to go with them.  I said to someone that I’d try and do a shoot with them, and that I may have a padded jacket somewhere, but that a pair of pants were not going to make a post by themselves.

So I went looking in my inventory.  To my surprise, I didn’t find the original padded jacket I thought I had (I may have deleted it, it was just standard sized mesh), but I did find this skully hooded jacket, which is perfect!  It’s also fitmesh with specific sizes for classic, Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Ocacin, Curvy, and Fine.  It also comes with a HUD that allows you to select the color/of the skulls, and a shirt under the jacket.  Which you can also make invisible, which is exactly what I did as I also wanted to wear another turtleneck top and bra you can see in the pics.

The bra/top comes in sizes for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Physique, and Hourglass.  There are three pieces in the pack: a wear alone bra, and “wear under the turtleneck” bra, and the turtleneck top itself.

Because the bra/top is fitmesh, I wore the Lara size, and I wore the jacket in classic large fitmesh.  It all layered really well!

This little outfit is called a “dress” in the product name, but I can’t see it as anything other than a nightdress.

Despite the tiny thin straps, this is actually fitmesh, even though at first glance you might think it’s applier.  It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.  Also included in the pack is a 15 color HUD to choose what pastel shade to wear!

The outfit is high cut both back and front, and has semi-sheer side panels.  The little bow touches at the front are super cute.


Night Sky

Hello there gentle reader!  Today I’m showing you a group gift from back around Halloween last year.   I’ve just come across it while rummaging in my messy inventory 🙂

The gown is called “Night Sky”, so I thought I’d find a suitable place to show it off, and found this planetarium.  The gown has a one-size-fits-all fitmesh for classic avatars, and body specific fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.  It also includes the Bento enabled gloves for the same mesh body sizes.  And it includes the earrings and necklace!  A very generous group gift!

Because the gown is materials enabled, it appears bright in the above photos, but I thought I’d use the other part of the location to show you what it looks like under different lighting.  Its character changes completely!  A really nice outfit from Ghee!
