Bounty Hunter

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Sometimes you see an item over here, and then later you see see another item over there, and you say, “Oooo I wonder if those would work together… and more importantly, actually fit together without mesh pokies.” Fortunately such was the case here, where I had originally seen the high-waisted leather legging appliers from Indyra and thought “Those are just begging for some sort of short-waist coat…” And lo and behold a few days later I find the perfect candidate in the Eclipse Design Nemo jacket!

The coat is nicely detailed with mesh bits, coming in five colors, along with six interior shirt colors and an option to turn the coat tails on or off. It is available for the major mesh bodies.

The Aziza high waist appliers include an edgy retro inspired top along with a pair of glossy high-waisted leggings. It was the leggings that caught my eye, both for the high waist part (very hard to find!) and the great fold detail, particularly at the knees. Aziza is available in a fatpack & in single colors and appliers are included for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink & TMP.

This is an ensemble that will really show you mean business!

Oh wait… you said you really just wanted to see the car???

Well there ya go! 😀

Now if you will pardon me, I have to catch someone before they leave! Cheers!

Evergreen

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I really enjoy wandering about a snowy outdoor market, and the Okinawa Winter Festival 2018 is off to a beautiful start!  I got to wander around the market, and fell in love with the beautiful Rachel coat from EXiA!

Rachel comes in five lovely colours and each has red and white options for the bow,  holly (or not), and solid or plaid at the coat bottom.  Rachel feels so very fun and warm and festive — it’s the perfect thing to wander about in the falling snow!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!

Close to Santa time?

Christmas is getting close.  I’m resisting doing Advent calendars this year as I still have unopened stuff from last year, if you can believe that!

This outfit was a gift from the Shop Till You Drop event in December last year (OMG inventory cleanout time, am I right?)  The skirt and tank top are one piece, with the jacket separate.  Most sizes are covered.  The tights are included as system layers and appliers.

There’s also a Santa hat and curly toed boots, but it’s not that close to Christmas yet 🙂

And another prior one, this time a hunt item from Brii Underground.  I told you about these L$6 hunt items!  How worth it were they?

Rather funny, we did a grunge thing a couple of weeks ago, and this would have just been perfect for it 🙂

But I unpacked it too late as you can see.  It has the shirt and shorts as one piece, in all the usual sizes.  The bra and socks are included as system layers, plus Maitreya, Slink, and Omega appliers.  And you get the boots as well!

It also has a Catwa makeup, but as usual, it’s hardly a great look for a redhead, so I’m not wearing it.  But for L$6, don’t you think, a bargain?  Yes!

This is a prior group gift from Julia’s Scandal.  The group is FREE to join and there are a bunch of prior group gifts available.

The top and skirt are one piece and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Hourglass, and Physique.

The outfit also comes with a three color HUD that lets you texture the top and skirt separately.  The wrinkles in the skirt are nicely done, as is the attention to detail on the seams.

Gothic kemono

blue LotD

Even after four and a half years in SL, sometimes an event comes up that requires clothing you either just don’t have, or what you have, you’re not happy with.  Yesterday at Eden, we had a best in gothic look contest, and while I had something picked out from my outfits list to wear to the event, it didn’t have a skin applier for my mesh head (which I’ve grown rather attached to 🙂 ) so I couldn’t update the outfit to include my head.  So, right at the last minute, I though “I wonder if I can do a goth kemono?”

I found this wonderful little lace trimmed dress on marketplace for only L$149, so I grabbed it, and then sort of struggled with skin and head appliers for the kemono too, until I remembered the MicroMeow 🙂

This dress is only for the Busty fitted torso from Starbright, but as usual with kemono clothing, comes with both UV and AO maps and it’s modify, so you can make your own textures for it.

I paired it with the standard kemono gloves and boots, and for the event I wore the hair that comes with the MicroMeow.  But I found this hair that suits the gothic look even better for the photo shoot!

And as a bonus, the dress comes material enabled too!

NY Skybox

blue Stuff

I think this is a first for the blog, showing you a building that’s been languishing in my inventory for a couple of months.  This 20 LI skybox is really well done, and I got it for FREE via the PocketShop HUD (which now seems to not be working, however the skybox creator has at least one other FREE building, so if you like this look of this one and the price, be sure to check them out!)

The building is done in mostly mesh with a couple of prims to do the scenery out the window.  The textures are baked on, but everything is modify so you could easily repaint if brick is not to your liking.  And being a skybox, there is no door, so you’ll need a teleporter.

Having said all that, it’s a great little skybox for a small shop or a secluded getaway spot!

Here’s a prior group gift from Julia’s Scandal.

There are fits for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, and Physique.  I guess it ended up as a group gift as the left nip coverage is a little non-existent!  I’m sure some people will find that super sexy 🙂

The dress comes with an seven color HUD in mostly the faint vertical stripes you see here, plus a bold horizontal stripe and a subtle horizontal stripe.

Santa bodysuit

blue LotD

I’m pretty sure this is not referring to jolly old St Nick 🙂

This super well-fitting bodysuit comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Venus.  It’s tight enough to wear under my favorite mesh jeans, which is a complete bonus!  It also comes with a ten color HUD for the fabric that also includes four colors for the metal detail at the collar!

A Princess in her Garden

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

One of my favorite gown vendors is Arwen’s; I must have a couple dozen of her flexi gowns. I’ve not acquired as many of her later mesh offerings, mostly because I like to wear my outfits to dance in and mesh gowns… well they often don’t move so nice when dancing. However now and then something really catches my eye, as this one did.

Arwen’s is always top notch in the texturing department, and the Jaina gown does not disappoint on this score. The colors are vivid and the detailing superb. The outfit includes Mesh Crown, Mesh Collar, Mesh Pauldrons, Mesh Veil, Mesh Bento Gloves, and an Omega applier for partlet, undershirt & glitch pants. There are 15 colors available.

The only thing I changed was the applier; while the included one (which basically covers the shoulders and upper chest) is not bad, Arwen’s actually has what I think is a better one for this color combination, which is from the Aethereal gowns.

Jaina is available for all major mesh bodies.

  • Outfit: Jaina Fantasy Fitted Mesh Gown; Aethereal Clothing Omega Appliers StarShine Yellow; both by Arwen’s
  • Hair: Farryn by Truth Hair
  • Poses: The Finnley Series – One and The Gina Series – Four by an lar (now closed)

Come share the garden with me, my friends, and we’ll take a lovely little stroll! Cheers!
