Surrounded by the light

With the closing of the year comes a light in the darkness, the hope of a new start, a better world.

Aloha kākou! Perhaps we’re still a month off from the Solstice, from Christmas, from Hanukkah, from the Season of Light… but it’s been a difficult year, and the light and hope that that season brings can’t come too early for me.

Bee and Solace from Silvan Moon Designs bring us the lovely Prima Donna gown, a lovely exclusive at Enchanted this month.

Prima Donna comes in seven beautiful colours. I fell in love with several of them… but the holiday feeling hit me so strongly that I just had to share Emerald with you. The Holly crown from .AiShA. and the Pointsettia ‘n Bells necklace and earrings from EarthStones just matched too perfectly to miss!

And lastly… please stop by and visit the lovely Savor Serenity sim. My dear friend Gidgy is one of the most wonderful sim builders I know. Please stop by and enjoy the beauty there!

Oubliette and Petite Mort are hosting a hunt, and you’re invited!  The beautiful Witchwood sim features the 10L Enchanted Spring Treasure Hunt for the month of April, and there are 10 beautiful goodies scattered around the grounds and two more for the group members hiding in the Oubliette and Petite Mort stores!  My favourite finds are the gorgeous Moon Child tank and the very starry Velvet Skirt!

  • Oubliette  — Moon Child tank ( Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Venus/Isis/Freya), hunt gift for the April 2018 Enchanted Spring hunt at Witchwood
  • Oubliette  — Velvet Skirt (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Venus/Isis/Freya), hunt gift for the April 2018 Enchanted Spring hunt at Witchwood
  • EarthStones —   Bewitching earrings
  • EarthStones —   Signature Stones bracelet
  • !!smesh — Star choker and ankle bracelets
  • an lar [poses]The Assemble Series — Ten pose

So I’ve been really excited about a new hair find.  I’ve heard a bit of feedback from some of the places that I blog for (and some that I used to blog for) that my flexi hair is sooooo years-ago — that it’s so dated.  It’s a bit frustrating, as finding curly hair in all-mesh is very difficult.  It’s true that taking good pics of flexi hair is a challenge due to lighting and focusing issues, but it’s hard to pretend to be straight when you’re not!

So that said, I was very excited to find Athena at Truth Hair.  It’s a very close match for my go-to in-world hair, Analog Dog’s AnnieAthena a VIP gift from Truth, so you’ll have to join the group to purchase it, but it’s quite the find.  It features a styling hud that allows you to add/remove whispeys (or as my friend’s daughter calls them, “Einsteins”).   You can even braid back the right-hand side… which is just right for an asymmetric statement.  🙂

The hunt isn’t too difficult, although knowledge of the sim will help — and the goodies are well worth the 100L that you’ll spend in acquiring them!  Stop by Witchwood and explore the beautiful sim that Melora and her crew have put together.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Death and all her friends

Some music, because Whit taught me.  🙂   Will I lose friends for Coldplay?




I know, it’s already all Hallow’s on the far side of the world, but in Europe and the Americas we’re still in the Eve!  Happy Hallowe’en, my lovely friends!  How about a little gift from G Field today?  The wonderful Roodvosje shared Death Girl in her lovely post last week, and I fell so in love with it that I had to share it with you in my own way!

Black is tough to wear — I had to weave special darke magicks about it to keep the white powder sugar that falls from my donuts from showing against it… but the cloak has such a lovely deep crimson lining and beautiful buckle detail!

A quick note about the hood.  Like hats, hoods are tricky, only moreso.  G Field did a fantastic job in leaving enough hair space around the skull, so I was able to find something.  I love Analog Dog, and Val fit very nicely.  I had to do a little editing on some of the strands on the back of my head — you can edit, and go into “edit linked” mode and shrink those pesky pokers and move them individually.  I did a larger piece on this a year or so ago, it’s tricky work but not bad.  FIRST FIRST FIRST, always make a copy of the hair!  The hair will always look horrid when you take the hood off, so you want to work with a copy!

I’m so totally in love with this dress and cloak that I think I’ll keep it about.. for whenever I need to show my darke side.

Happy Hallowe’en everyone!  Mahalo — a hui hou!

Here’s a lovely little dress that I picked up from the Tres Chic event a few months back.   {les baies} is a fairly new creator, but has some very nicely textured products.  I’m looking forward to seeing what Summse Sands creates next!

{les baies} is currently in-between in-world shops, but has a marketplace presence, so take a little look and see.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Stripey

Summer is here!  Warm weather, sunshine, the water, and happy sundresses! Baby Monkey has a lovely little gifty for you, a Striped Beach Dress just waiting for you!

The Striped Beach Dress comes in the standard five rigged sizes plus fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya, all three Belleza, Tonic Fine and Curvy, and TMP.  I think you’re covered, but only just!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be at the beach!  I’ve got my sunscreen!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Pua nani

Today I get to share this lovely little pressie that some dear friends got for me.  Bondo Beach is a lovely mesh dress from Oi Bae!, and the fact that my dears thought of me when when they saw this fills me with joy.  🙂

Bondo Beach comes in fitmesh for SLink Physique and Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, and eBODY.  It truly is pua nani — a beautiful blossom.

A little time on the beach sounds like just what this wahine needs.  Grab your towel, I’ll see you there!

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!

Mahalo! A hui hou!
