Simple Spring

blue 1 Comment LotD

I found this simple, pretty dress on the Womenstuff hunt back in January.  I’ve been waiting for the weather to warm up so I could show it off.

The dress comes in standard mesh sizes plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.  It also has a 10 color HUD with some plain and patterned textures, from pastels to bold pinks and reds!  I’ve worn three different ones in my photos.

This is a great little dress to wear out shopping, walking around, or even dancing!  Another fine addition to the wardrobe, and if you were lucky enough to find it during the hunt, totally FREE!

Furr-ocious!

Our good friend Kat really likes her furries!  Here she’s showing off a really cool vixen outfit.  Furr-ocious 🙂

She’s taken a mix of bits and bobs from various outfits and combined them into this wonderful vixen which looked super cool the other day.  She has a habit of changing outfits often, and when she hit this one I went “Whoa! I need to photograph that!”  She was happy to oblige!

Let me see if I can hit the highlights of her look.  First, this is all on the Utilizator 2.0 Avi.  She’s taken the skin and shape from the Fruitsalad Orange Fox avi pack, plus the paws, feet. head, and tail from the Vixen Chinchilla Mod, and added a skirt and top from clothes from the S4 outfit.  Told you she was keen 🙂

Finishing touches include the knee pads and ankle bangles.  I think you will agree with me that this looks absolutely fantastic!

This amazing little mini was hiding in my unopened items from the Womenstuff hunt back in January!

It’s fully materials enabled and glitters beautifully when you move.  The glitter layer is on the complete inside of the skirt and gets great exposure when you dance.  Sizes for this include standard mesh and a one-size-fits all fitmesh, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Isis, Venus, and Freya.

The pack also includes a face and body light to help the glitter really sparkle.

The dress cut drastically low at the back so your underwear choice is rather limited hehe.

I’m not sure where I got this skirted swimsuit but it’s really nice!  I have a sneaking suspicion someone gave it to me 🙂

It’s only in fitmesh for Lara and the fit is super good, you can easily wear it with no alphas at all.  And the reason for my suspicion about where I got it is it’s only available in a gacha in the store, and I very very rarely play gachas.  There are a number of different colors and a couple of rares with additional cute bows.

I love the heart cutout 🙂

I really like one piece swimsuits and this is a wonderful addition to my collection!

Hello lovelies!  Today I have a fantastic Midnight Madness win to show you from Etchaflesh!

The skirt and top are separates (but although they aren’t “connected”, the sleeves are part of the top) and can be worn on their own.  Considering they both have 20 color HUDS allowing you to texture different parts of the item, you could match them with anything.  The skirt HUD has options for the waistband and the skirt, while the top’s HUD has options for the main top, the sleeves (which can also be made invisible), and the lacing at the back.  Super versatile!

I’m wearing this olive and green combo, but there is everything from monos to pinks, blues, browns, and reds, so you can be eye-catching as you like!

The outfit comes in fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.  There are no standard sizes.  Oh, and how about this cute cutout and bow and the back? 🙂

Blue’s been showing a number of free gifties from Canimal lately, so I thought I’d better get my favourite one in!  Mercury is a beautiful two-piece Maitreya Lara fitmesh outfit that comes complete with a lovely 15-texture HUD.  

The top is really adorable with the belly tie and a cute little peter-pan collar and cuffs. But…. are you really *sure* this is going to put my atoms all back in the right order on the other side?

I don’t usually talk about the poses I feature, but that top one (Flight 15) is from a lovely new pose shop that I recently discovered.  Poseidon Poses features a lot of action poses, particularly action-hero and fantasy poses.  They’re really quite remarkably done, you’ll see some more of their work from me in the future.

Canimal has a lovely wall of free gifties, so stop on by and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

I am so excited to share the latest offering from Nickki at  Island Style Designs with you!  Nickki has created a gorgeous swimsuit and pareo combo with a fantastic shiny metallic texture.

In the daylight, it looks like this: (note: advanced lighting and materials must be enabled!)

The outfit is fitmesh, and comes rigged for Maitreya, both SLink, all three Belleza bodies, both EVE bodies, TMP, and Altamura.    The strapless suit features some lovely pink lacing in the back, and a subtle green/red/yellow shading for the floral pattern.

Where this suit and pareo really shine (so to speak) is in the dark with some interesting lighting effects.  I waded into the water with my pareo still on, and added a little extra lighting to make the suit really shine.  You can see the lights really reflected in the suit.

I really loved the pareo, but did finally take it off to just show the suit on its own.   It’s somewhat lower cut at the hips, giving a lovely slightly retro feel and look.

We’ve seen body-specific fitmesh explode into SL, and while there has been a lot of materials-enabled textures, we haven’t seen lots of reflective clothing.  This is gorgeous, and is sure to be an attention-getter at parties.

Stop on by the new Island Style Designs and take a look today!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Here’s another group gift from Canimal.  Canimal is FREE to join, and there are nine, yes nine, really nice group gifts available at the store, this one included!

The dress is fitmesh for Lara only, and comes with a nine color HUD so you can (at least in my case) find a color to suit your hair 🙂

The rigging is well done, and I didn’t notice any issues.  It uses the auto-alpha feature for Lara, and depending on what pose you’re in, you may have to un-alpha a little, as the hem is right on an alpha cut boundary.  Other than that, it’s a great little mini!
