Happy Summer Days!

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A few little happies to share with you this beautiful Friday!  First up, Happy Summer Days is a gorgeous little dress from Miss Jones.  It’s currently featured on the Pleaseblossom path of the Midsummer Night’s Dream 9 Hunt!

OMG, I think it landed on my head!  The Aloha headpiece is a bright and cheery headpiece from Astralia that a friend found and just had to get for me.  It features a lovely HUD with a few colour choices for flowers and the bird.  

Happy Summer Days comes with an amazing HUD.  I tried to count, and I think that there are 37 solid colours you can choose from, and another 37 different patterned textures.  I might be off one in each column, so figure somewhere between 72 and 76  colour/pattern choices for you!  Your biggest problem will be choosing your favourite!

Just when you think that you’ve come to the end of the path…. the world opens up in front of you.

Have a wonderful Friday, a wonderful weekend my friends!  Stay cool out in the summer heat, or stay warm in the winter chill, and know that you are special and bright.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

A Time for Elegance

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Every now and then a girl needs to dress up a little bit… and with elegant and flowing style. Today I’d like to show you a selection from my gown wardrobe, something for any particular formal event.

Let’s look first at the Bianca gown from FlowerDreams, available in seven colors. It includes top and bottom layers for the popular mesh bodies as well as Omega, and lots of lovely flowy prim bits as well. Perfect for when you’re feeling a little bit of the fairy tale in you!

Now how about those nights when you want to glitter a little bit? Maybe even be a little daring? Then baii maii has just the thing for you in the 218 Glitter Gown with fits for the major mesh bodies. You’ll be hard pressed to know whether onlookers are more dazzled by the flashy dress or by your skin peeking through! Hint: the texture is materials enabled, and if you add a little light to yourself it looks absolutely amazing!

  • Dress: 218 Glitter Gown by baii maii (Marketplace link)
  • Shoes: Astrid Ankle Boots by KC
  • Jewelry: Diamond Lotus Gold Necklace by Exquisite; Butterfly Pink bracelet by Silvery K ; and Moonlight Arm Cuff by Real Evil
  • Hair: Vanilla A and Venezia A by eXxEsS
  • Pose: Finnley Series Four by an lar

Looking for something a bit classier? Returning to FlowerDreams we have the Leah gown, also a bit daring but in an elegant way, with top and sides revealing one’s form. A bit of carefully placed hair in case you aren’t *quite* that daring… Leah is also available in seven colors, with appliers for the the major mesh bodies and Omega.

And finally, this week a two-fer: both black and red versions of the same gown, worn by me and my lovely Kie during a formal dance. This is Irina from Utopia, with the amazing detailing that only Utopia can bring. It’s available in seven colors with appliers for the major mesh bodies and Omega. Here the open back makes a nice frame for a detailed phoenix tattoo from U-Design.

That’s it for this round, my sweet friends! Cheers!

Here are two more items from SLB15!

This pretty little summery dress comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.  It has a five color HUD in pastels to change the color of the dress (not the pattern).

Normally I wear Slink feet, except when I’m wearing mid heeled shoes.  While the Maitreya feet are pretty, and you can change from low to mid to high with the HUD, I like being able to save a pair of matching shoes and feet with an outfit, then I don’t have to worry about the HUD.  There’s nothing as embarrassing as walking out with your feet at the wrong height for your shoes!  So my Maitreya feet are always set on mid.  Except when I find a pair of high heels for Maitreya as good as this!

These lovely peep toes are super, and they come with a HUD to let you change the sole shading (unfortunately not the upper, but you can’t have everything).  Note these are Maitreya only.

Summer Casual

Here’s a light and breezy summer dress from Sweet Thing, called Elisa Corset Dress, available at the Kustom9 event through the 15th. It’s available in 18 single solid colors; a six-color camo pack; a six-color ‘galaxy’ pack with constellation patterns; a six-color leopard pattern pack; a four-color pack with test on the top; and a fat pack of all of the singles and smaller packs plus three full pack only designs. Whew! That is one versatile dress!

This is one of the solid colors matched with the wonderfully flexible Faith boots from Mesh Agency.

 

And a close up of the red color, for a better view of the lovely mesh corset detailing.

 

And finally, a view of one of the ‘galaxy’ patterns, with lovely constellations all around.

  • Shoes: Xena Boots by KC
  • Jewelry: Leah Bracelet by AvaWay
  • Pose: Bloom Female Pose 3 by K&S

Let’s go enjoy those summer days! Cheers!

 

 

 

a fae’s amusement

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

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!

Happy Birthday, Second Life!

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, Second Life turns 15 this month!  Happy Birthday!

I made it into the shopping areas today, and here’s an outfit assembled from some of the FREE gifts various creators have on offer.

Firstly, the simple striped summer mini is from Ison and comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, and Isis, and includes a three color HUD to let you retexture (the other colors are a solid vivid red, and a pretty green floral pattern).

These sandals are by YS&YS, and there are versions for Lara, Slink, and Belleza feet in the package.  The texturing is really nice!

This charm bracelet is by Lapointe & Bastchild.  It has an amazing HUD with all twelve signs of the Zodiac in gold and silver, along with the twelve classic birthstones.  And if that’s not enough, there are six color selections for the stone beads!

Lastly this dog tag style necklace by Petit Chat comes in male and female versions and also has a HUD to let you select one of four colors for the metal.  What a wonderful selection of freebies by some super generous creators!

Hunt for you Inner Slut 18 is on at the moment, and goes though to the 15th of July, so there’s plenty of time for you to find the 20 items hidden around the grid!

This prize was the only one that came unboxed, so I get to show you it first 🙂

The bikini is separate top and bottoms and comes in fitmesh size for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Physique, and Hourglass.  There are two HUDS (one for the top and one for the bottoms) that have the same four textures, which makes changing each piece easy but takes screen real estate until done.

The fit for Lara is very nice, and the summery textures are a treat!  Grab this and go and relax on a beach somewhere!

Hello sweets!  I found this cheeky bodysuit and awesome thigh boots on the Evil Bunny Hunt back in April.

The bodysuit comes in sizes for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Physique, Hourglass, Curvy, and Fine.  Sorry you girls without one of these, this is not available for classic avis as it’s so body hugging there’s no way you’d manage to slip an alpha between yourself and it 🙂

The strapped and laced thigh boots are also rigged for the same bodies with the exception of Fine and Curvy.  I can guarantee that these boots will become a favorite of mine!

I added some tattoos and jewelry to complete this.  Bad Azz 🙂

Add one more… One more Addams, that is

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Hello dear ones! Today I’d like to feature a few items from Addams, who are right up there on my list of truly quality clothing designers.

Let’s look first as the Carolina Women’s Wool Dress, available in 22 single colors or a fatpack with HUD. It has lovely detail that really catches the light, and the shape is very flattering. Don’t you just want to snuggle up to someone in that? In the coral color I matched it with some pretty over the knee boots from Mutresse called Kaisia, available in an 18 color HUD fatpack with lots of mix and match color parts.

And black is always nice and slimming. Here I wore the Carolina wool dress with the Chetare boots in ebony from Bella Moda.

Addams is also really good with jackets. Here is a casual denim number, Melissa, that opens up nicely around the chest to show off… whatever nice top you are wearing (insert giggle here!).  However I chose to wear my fave Blueberry tank, the Lola; and rounded it off with a neat pair of jeans called Dita from Lapointe and Bastchild (subject of a future blog!)  The Addams Melissa jacket comes in a substantial 41 single colors, or a fatpack with HUD. It has a flopped down hood in back that you can turn on or off, with 16 colors of its own.

Finally, we have a sharp looking leather jacket with woolly collar from Addams called Lulu, available in 14 single colors or a HUD fatpack. It too opens up nicely around the chest area; in this case there is an option for a bra that can be turned on and off. The bra is not quite to my taste so instead I used another goody from Lapointe & Bastchild, a retro tank top that will be in that future post too!

That’s it for this time, my lovelies! Cheers!

Ready for a night out?  This LBD will be the perfect thing!

This was a group gift from Resun back in April.  It’s in sizes for classic, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Physique, Venus, Isis, Freya, and TMP.  It has some clipping issues around the sides of the dress which are just fixable with careful alpha cuts.  That aside, it looks really nice with some fantastic materials work.

Also, the detail at the back is really nice.  The creator has even gone to the trouble to provide little metal clips for the tie.  Very nice work 🙂
