Embroidered Essmie

Petite Mort has a lovely dress for this round of Tres Chic: the very simple clean Essmie.   Eight beautiful earthy shades set off the most amazing embroidery I’ve seen in Second Life.  My tūtū used to do embroidery like this, she always loved this style.  She tried to teach me a little… but I was never so good as she was.

Essmie comes in fitmesh for Lara, TMP, both SLink bodies and all three Belleza bodies.  So, as a side note, I end up writing that list of bodies down often enough now that I see that list, the numbers — 1 1 2 3 — and start thinking mathy sequence thoughts.  Is that nuts?  Probably, but wow I am so happy to see so much fitmesh!

Stop by Tres Chic and see all the wonderful goodies!   You deserve a little shopping joy today!  And mahalo, tūtū, I always think of you.  🙂

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Butterflies

Kerryth at Spyralle has a lovely spring/summer dress for you, exclusively at the current round at Swank.  Lila is a mesh dress in four lovely palettes, each one featuring the lovely multicolour fractal patterns you’ve come to love in Kerryth’s work.

EarthStones’ Flight of Fancy is the perfect accent to Lila.  Flight‘s HUD allows you to select bead and wing stone colours from three different textures.  The blue/green ‘swallowtail’ scheme is perfect for Lila blue!

Due to changing customer demand, Kerryth is trying something new.  The standard five rigged mesh sizes are being sold in one box, and fitmesh for Maitreya Lara, both SLink bodies, and all three Belleza bodies is sold together in the other box.  The idea is to help cut down on the unused copies that you either delete or sit around cluttering up your inventory.  The demo box (free, of course!) has all sizes in it.  But make sure that you get the right one when you purchase!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Indira’s light

Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs bring us a new wave of fashion that I’ll show over the next couple of weeks.  Today is Indira’s Light, an elegant little mesh gown in four colours.

Indira’s Light comes in SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara fitmesh, and consists of two fitmesh pieces, a dress and coat piece (both shown).  There are flexi bits for a little swirl as you walk and dance, and two decorative mesh pieces at the belly and for the neck.  They’re extraordinarily elegant, although the neck piece looks like it might be a little pokey.  🙂

Stop by Silvan Moon Designs and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Moonlight

There’s just nothing like moonlight on a beautiful night, the scent of flowers on the evening breeze and your love’s hand in yours.

Shimmering Moonbeams is another lovely outfit from Moonlitecat Creations in three parts: a top in the standard sizes in both rigged mesh and fitmesh, and a skirt and shawl in rigged mesh plus fitmesh for Maitreya Lara, SLink Physique, and Belleza mesh bodies.

Moonbeams has the iridescent shimmer of opal.  Add some rainbow eyeliner from VileCult for that extra little touch — Aeon is always happy for more colour!

This little outfit was another I picked up from Moonlitecat Creations with that Advent giftcard!  It pays to follow your favourite vendors!  I hope that you all have a shimmering bright day, and a wonderful weekend!

Mahalo! A hui hou!


Nai’a

I’ve shared Sparta from Ally★Adventure with you in the past, so I thought I’d show you one of the other lovely products Ally has produced.  Dolphin is a sexy monokini with an amazing reflective (and transparent!) texture.  It comes with appropriately-positioned body lights to show it off just so — without being annoying as so many face lights are.

Dolphin (or nai’a in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi) is available in the five standard rigged mesh sizes.  It appears that some of Ally’s newer items are available in fitmesh, you can be sure I’ll be checking those out!  And you must have a materials-enabled viewer to take advantage of this one… but the sparkle and shimmer are amazing.    You can find free demos of everything at Ally★Adventure, so please stop on by!

One last spell to cast….

One more witch for this season?




Petite Mort brings us a wonderful little in-store hunt for my final witch of the season: each item in the hunt is part of the Gypsy Witch – hat, skirt, lace shawl, peasant top, and pentacle choker.  Three’s still a little time before All Hallow’s Eve!

pmhuntwitch_c006

The Gypsy Witch features Petite Mort‘s flour sack peasant top, lace shawl, and gypsy skirt.  Each comes in the standard five sizes, plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fitmesh!

pmhuntwitch_c003

Setting the hat aside for a moment, Gypsy Witch makes for a wonderful slightly gothy outfit.  OMG I love Petite Mort‘s fitmesh!

A little bit of a closeup on the choker.  The witch’s hat can oversize a bit without looking out-of-sorts, but a little creative editing of a hairdo can always help, too.  🙂   I don’t usually wear heavy eyeshadow or dark lippy, but it definitely works with this outfit, I think!

  • ProPose —  Group Gift September F1 pose

The worst part, to me, of the end of the Hallowe’en season?  Everyone always expects the costumes to be put away for another year.

Me, I’ll always wear my inner witch… so don’t be surprised if you see me in my pointy hat out-and-about in SL.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


A little Pepper for spice

I’ve been wanting to share this lovely dress from !Soul with you for a while, and a new makeup applier from [GA.EG] has given me the perfect opportunity!

  • !Soul — Pepper minidress
  • .woundRibbon choker (vibrant)
  • [GA.EG] — Nefertiti eye shadow
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather
  • ProPose —  Group Gift September F1

pepper_c002

Pepper is all mesh, with Slink and Maitreya fitmesh, and has a hud with a staggering number of colour choices:  Main colours and piping are independently selectable from a palette of  60 colours!  Oh, wait- and there are two different palettes of 60 choices to choose from!

The other lovely item I want to share is this amazing eyeshadow.  I’ll confess to having always loved the Egyptian kohl look, and [GA.EG] has really made it hum!  Now, a word of note: the [GA.EG] makeups are an add-on to the [GA.EG] head Smart HUDs, so this isn’t an Omega applier for everyone.  But WOW, it’s a beauty, with a host of accent colours plus a variety of other customising possibilities.  Nefertiti installs into the [GA.EG] Smart HUD, so there’s no extra HUD to use, your whole makeup kit is there at your fingertips!

A few more variations — with a green-and-silver dress and some different colours on the eyeshadow!

There’s an additional version with lovely cross-strapping across the back.  I may well have to run back and pick it up.  !Soul has previously released a number of cute minis as group gifts, but this one has them beat.  Now, if only we might get this with the rainbow texture, I’d be in complete heaven!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


A little Friday festival

For your Friday pleasure (or Saturday morning to my lovely friends on the other side of the dateline), a little group gift from Petite Mort.  Festival is a beautiful maxi-skirt and bandeau top in five mesh sizes.

Skin-tight

I’m a big fan of clothing that plays well with a mesh body.  Certainly the top-of-the-pops is the more recent trend in mesh-body-specific fitmesh (yes, I do a little squeeeee when a product comes out in Slink Fitmesh) — but appliers certainly can be great as well.  Fitmesh gives that three-dimensional texture which is (to me) preferable, but a well-done applier can be fantastic with a skin-tight outfit.  Luana, the latest group gift from *It’s Gau*, is a great example!

Luana_c004

Now, time for a little pet peeve.   Maybe you’ve run into this problem –my avi height is a fair bit above normal for RL (1.95 m/6’3″), yet many designers make mesh for avis that are clearly much much larger.  This outfit comes with a lovely set of armlets and bracelets, each of which have resizer scripts – but while the minimum size of the armlets is not bad, the minimum size for the bracelets is at least twice as big as they need to be to fit!  Now, I don’t think that my wrists are ridiculously small, but that’s just silly.  Now, having made mesh, I understand that there are limits to shrinking certain mesh sizes, but there are some clever ways around that.  Any mesh maker worth their pixels really should remember that not everyone in SL is a giantess!
