Vellista Evenstar

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha, my friends!  Some lovely little treasures to share with you that I found at We Love Role Play.  I was a bit late getting to the event this month, so we’re a little behind!  Today I’d like to show the Vellista tunic from Senzifine.  It’s a lovely long-sleeved bare-shouldered tunic that can double as a dress.  I paired it with some leggings from Silvan Moon Designs’ Ranger of Islavare outfit, and the result is pretty magical.

This outfit just called out for some of my favourite jewelry — the Lapis necklace and earrings from Evelock and Spyralle‘s Forest Edge mask.

Just as the fae, all things are fleeting.  We’ve got about a week left for this month’s We Love Role Play, and about that much time for one of my favourite pose makers.  an lar [poses] is closing at the end of this month, and all her poses are half-price.  Their easy gentle style has really appealed to me, and I’ll be sorry to see them go.

So, you know — the lesson in everything is to take advantage of what comes your way, for you know not when it will vanish like a sparkled dream.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

On a Wing and a Fae

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Let’s have a little fun this time around and I will show you how I really look in Second Life. Yes, I am by nature a faerie and most at home wearing my wings. In fact, this first outfit I will show you is what got me into SL. In RL I do 3D artwork, and one day I saw a promo ad for the beautiful Moonlight Melody outfit by Caverna Obscura. My first thought was “Wow, that is as good as the 3D models I am using! I need to go look at that.” I signed up for Second Life, and it was the first outfit I bought… and here I am six years later. 🙂

Now unlike some of my ‘normal’ clothes ensembles, with my fantasy and faerie outfits I tend to mix and match a lot of things… sometimes even maxing out my attachments… but this is more about sharing the faerie look than the parts and pieces.

So let’s start with said Moonlight Melody outfit, which is still my all time favorite. All of these shots were taken in my private garden, and no surprise it was rather designed with faeries in mind. 🙂

When I am feeling really one with my garden I tend to start sprouting flowers. 🙂 In fact this outfit is mostly just… flowers… but then that is not uncommon with outfits from Boudoir, who specialize in elaborate ensembles that are often a floral riot.

Often times it takes a bit of experimentation to find the right combination of components, but when you finally hit upon it the feeling is happy happy. And even better when it can be worn multiple ways; in this instance I am wearing all the parts of the outfit but depending on mood and circumstance various parts can be removed for a more, um, casual look and feel… This particular outfit also holds special meaning for me, with some very happy shared memories a part of it.

When I am looking for a nice contemplative spot, there is nothing better than my little waterwheel! And here I am fluttering in another wonder from Caverna Obscura, called Wisteria Wind. Caverna does such wonderful fantasy outfits!

Come, take my hand and fly with me to my garden, sweet faeries!

a fae’s amusement

Wow!  Summer classes have been keeping me busy, how much time have I let slip by without sharing?  I have a beautiful dress that I want to show you that I picked up at The Muses at We Love Role Play back in May, but it’s regularly stocked in the store now.  Daphne is a lovely wonderful little dress, just right for a dancing little fae.

Daphne comes in fitmesh for only three bodies.  I’m not sure how it will fit on Physique or the other two Belleza bodies, please try a demo!

There are 16 different textures available: ten in a lovely paisley pattern, and six in the beautiful leafy motif I’m showing you here.  You can see which is my favourite!  Say, that’s a bit cheeky….

Both palettes feature the gold lacey midriff section.  That part has transparency, so you must make sure that the demo works without using body alpha zones!

There’s always something lovely at We Love Role Play, and the anchor stores (such as The Muses) feature some really wonderful items.  Make sure you take a good look around!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Dance of the Fae

Aeon LotD

Let us twirl in the light
Let us forget our troubles
Let our feet be light
Let me forget the weight that pulls me to the earth
the darkness that surrounds me
Let me say “I love you”

Too quickly the dark comes
Too quickly the voices fade
Too quickly the cold reaches

Dance with me
Give me this moment
Make it last
Forever

Just a little faerie dance for your Friday…

I wish you a day of peace… that peace may find us all.

Mahalo, my friends.  For all you do, cherish one another.

 

Daughter of the sea

All life comes from the Sea.

  • Spyralle — Waverider Green Flash tattoo, fins, drape and crown
  • Luminesse — Sea Turtle Green Agate necklace & earrings
  • Exposeur Props and Poses — February Gift 15-6M pose (Marketplace Link)

When Kerryth at Spyralle came out with Waverider in mesh fins and Omega appliers (or standard SL layers) I thought WOW!  All it needs is a tail to be a perfect mermaid.  I’ve been on the hunt for a tail to a) complement it, and b) work with a mesh body ever since.

.:!EVolved creatures!:. came to the rescue, with a Bento enabled tail.   This tail waves so very smoothly, it is a joy to swim!

EVolved creatures has really put together a remarkable tail even without Bento.  MErmaid tail #1 features an amazing HUD that allows you to adjust glow, transparency, and alpha of the fins, belt, and scales.  There’s a skin blender at the waist, and an amazing selection of scale patterns.  I’ve shown a lightning-y one above — it’s my favourite as I think it complements Kerryth’s Waverider patterns (lightning is awfully fractal in nature, you know).  I thought I’d show you a few other options as well, though.

You can’t see the full crown so well with Calico‘s Talia hair, but it features a band across the forehead with fins from the side, and the same fractal motif as the body tattoo.  Luminesse‘s green agate Sea Turtle jewelry completes the ensemble.

I’ll admit, I took WAY too many pics of this, but I have so totally fallen in love with this outfit, both with and without the tail.  There are a host of pictures on flickr, and I’ll post more over the next few days.

Please go try out EVolved creatures‘s tail, there’s a 1L demo.  It doesn’t feature the HUD, but you can see how well it fits and how well it moves.  One quick note — the Bento tail can misbehave a bit on mermaid dances and animations (although it does fine on poses).  This is a Bento issue, and Tithis at EVolved is aware of it and working on the problem.  There will be a free update when it’s solved!

From this wahine hiʻu iʻa to all of you, aloha kakou!  Mahalo! A hui hou!
