A Murder of Crows

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Moments, Reviews

November is drawing to a close, but We Love Role Play yet has nearly a week left.  Silvan Moon Designs offers A Murder of Crows this month, a beautiful bustled gown that might be just as at home in Victorian England or in a frontier town in the American Wild West.

The remarkable hat is included in A Murder of Crows.  I don’t know that I’d dance in it, but it’s perfect finery for the era.

Wow what a bustle to this gown.  Baby got back?

I really love this outfit, I think it might well serve as a fantastic base for a great steampunk outfit.  I’ll have to get back to you on that one!

Run over to We Love Role Play before time runs out!  Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Witch Hazel

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews

Oh just one more little bit of magic before the all Hallow’s, as the fae dance about in the falling turning leaves.  It seemed to be the time of the tunics at We Love Role Play this month.  I showed you one last week, let me show you the other today —  Witch Hazel from Dreaming Thicket!

I really love the little details on Witch Hazel.  The moonphase belt is a beautiful little touch, just the right bit of magic.

This month’s We Love Role Play is just about over.  Stop on by and find Witch Hazel and so many other lovely treasures before November hits!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Vellista Evenstar

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha, my friends!  Some lovely little treasures to share with you that I found at We Love Role Play.  I was a bit late getting to the event this month, so we’re a little behind!  Today I’d like to show the Vellista tunic from Senzifine.  It’s a lovely long-sleeved bare-shouldered tunic that can double as a dress.  I paired it with some leggings from Silvan Moon Designs’ Ranger of Islavare outfit, and the result is pretty magical.

This outfit just called out for some of my favourite jewelry — the Lapis necklace and earrings from Evelock and Spyralle‘s Forest Edge mask.

Just as the fae, all things are fleeting.  We’ve got about a week left for this month’s We Love Role Play, and about that much time for one of my favourite pose makers.  an lar [poses] is closing at the end of this month, and all her poses are half-price.  Their easy gentle style has really appealed to me, and I’ll be sorry to see them go.

So, you know — the lesson in everything is to take advantage of what comes your way, for you know not when it will vanish like a sparkled dream.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Lizette Argent

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I always love We Love Role Play, it’s a really nicely-sized event, and there are so many wonderful things to discover.  Today I’d like to show you Lizette Argent Wench dress set by Silvan Moon Designs exclusively at the event!

The Gypsy necklace and earring set from/me EarthStones is a perfect complement to this look!

Lizette Argent is a three-piece set, with separate gown, vest and apron that could be worn separately.

Lizette Argent is available in seven different lovely earthy tones.  I’ll admit, I almost always try the green shades first… but I loved the natural (shown above) so much that I have focused in that one.  Nevertheless, the other shades are gorgeous, and there’s almost certainly something here to draw your interest.

 

Please stop by We Love Role Play today, and take a look at everything they have to offer.  You’ll leave a few lindens lighter… but much happier!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!

About face

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I don’t usually focus on lippy or other makeup in my blog posts — that requires too much attention to my face for me to be comfortable with! I like my curly ginger hair, to the length that I get grumpy when I have to change it.  But the New Wave makeup set from AlaskaMetro for Rock Your Rack 2018 was just too much fun to play with, and it created a whole new fun look.

There’s a lovely Bowie/Starman-esque purple glitter lightning bolt included in this set.  I’m not sure I’ve got the best hairstyle to complement it, but I’m going to have to go searching more, it’s too cool to neglect!

I don’t know what to make of the asymmetric look, except that I really actually like it a lot.  I think this might be my favourite of the bunch!

New Wave has five different eye and lippy designs, available singly or as a fatpack, and all of the proceeds go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  WOW!

It’s amazing what looks good, feels good makeup-wise with dark hair.  I feel like I can get away with all kinds of amazing brightly-coloured striking looks  than I can with my ginger!  All the same, I’ll probably save these for those days when I need to step outside myself…. and go back to my ginger tomorrow.  🙂

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

Twilight Dreams

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha, my friends, I hope that you are having a wonderful Monday!  Normally I don’t like to split up different textures of the same clothing item into different days — it kind of feels like cheating — but I had to do a follow-up post on Spyralle‘s Sybil.  The very day after I published my previous post on Sybil, Kerryth introduced one additional texture that I just had to have — the lovely Twilight.

Kerryth’s textures are always lovely, but I really love the glyphs on this one more than anything — I see a Moon and stars and dancers.  Could there be anything more me?

I’ve paired this with the beautiful The Moon and Stars for you necklace and earrings from Maxi Gossamer — just to match the lovely glyphs.

My friends, Spoonful of Sugar will be over before you know it.  Stop by, find some lovely things, and help out MSF.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!

On the run

Aeon Fashion, Gadgets, LotD, Reviews

The Sisters of Eden recently had a cyberpunk-themed party (DJd by our very own Jaz) and I had a lot of fun putting together an outfit that I really wanted to share with you.  This really was a fun outfit, as I assembled it from a variety of bits and pieces!

  • :::SOLE::: — Shinkan glasses (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • :::SOLE::: — Luna Headset (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • Profectus — Time Brace
  • Xtra Ordinary — Dragonsuit Top applier and collar from Sith Lady costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Coat from Underworld Deathdealer full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Combat belt from Black Widow full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • [The Forge] — Cypher pants (Oil) (Gacha) (Marketplace Link)
  • Silvan Moon Designs  —  Bento Gloves, exclusive for Fallen Gods Decennial
  • GRAVES — G322 Combat Boots (unrigged mesh)
  • BAXE — Miss China – Gala 2018

I didn’t want to go all Tron-glowy, but cyberpunk does require some supporting gadgets!  I found just the right things at :::Sole:::.  I’m wearing two separate pieces here,  the Luna headset and the Shinkan glasses.  Both have huds for texture and glow, and both are unrigged mesh – so they’re resizable!

The boots were a tricky find — I wanted something that buckled and looked meant for action — not silly oversexed high-heel boots.  But I also needed something that could accommodate the mesh leggings without having surface conflicts (‘peek-through’). Graves’ Combat Boots are just right — with male and female versions so it’s not just a genderless muck boot.

I’m always reminded how much fun it is to assemble an outfit from bits and pieces.  I totally love playing with a role-playing costume like this!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

Powers of Prediction

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I foresee people coming together to help out those less fortunate.  Hey, look at that, I’m right! Don’t call me a Sybil, that’s really just the beautiful new dress that Kerryth at Spyralle has created for Spoonful of Sugar, an event to help support Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (Doctors Without Borders).

So I’m always on the prowl for good new hair.  Curly hair is rough — there’s lots of mesh hair for straight locks, but my curls are rough to reproduce in-world.  Often the hair I wear for walking around in-world is different from what I wear for photos — hair with flexies is rough on photos, but it can sure look good as you dance or walk about in-world.  So I was really excited to find Leela from Analog Dog at SoS.  It’s not an exclusive there — it’s also at the mainstore — but I believe that the purchases at SoS contribute to MSF, so it’s a good time to buy!  Leela is very similar to my go-to hair (Annie, also from Analog Dog) — but it’s a bit longer, with a lovely curl over my right eye.  🙂

Sybil comes in six lovely colours, each in a “glyph” and “plain” version.  You might guess which I prefer!  I love this dress so much that I might have obtained four of the six available colours!

My friends, have a wonderful weekend.  Stop by Spoonful of Sugar, get some lovely things, and help out MSF.  The only thing better than finding new treasures is helping others out in the process!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou!

A Pirate’s Treasure

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Yarrrr!  Happy Pirate Day, my hearties!  Perfect for the day, Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Buccaneer Celeste at the September We Love Role Play event!

The tricorn is great, and I didn’t have to work too hard to find hair that I could match with it.  Fortunately, I’d just recently picked up Farryn from Truth Hair.   I’ve become quite the fan of Truth’s styling huds!

  • <K&S> — Loveliness #3 pose

Celeste is perfect for a fierce Piratess… or for a frolic about the tavern.  The boots and leggings are well-textured, and I suspect I’ll be wearing these boots in a few other outfits as well!

I hope that today and every day finds you with plenty of booty, a mug of rum, and a fresh breeze!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A flyaway dress for a breezy day

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy Aloha Friday, my wonderful friends!  I thought I’d share this beautiful summery dress that I picked up a bit earlier in the season with you.  Summer for Your Heart is a beautiful fluttery dress from DE.Boutique that just calls to me on such a beautiful day!

  • DE.Boutique — Summer to Your Heart dress (Freya/Venus/Isis/Maitreya/Physique/EBody Curvy/TMP fitmesh)
  • EarthStones — Playful Dolphins necklace and earrings
  • Persefona — Samia Wreath (navy)
  • Rebel Hope — Laguna mesh sandals
  • an lar [poses] — The Julep Series – Two pose

Summer for Your Heart has a beautiful eight-texture HUD that has some wonderful patterns on it: I have a hard time deciding on my favourite! 

I totally love the Laguna sandals from Rebel Hope.  I just wish, I really really wish that creators who made barefoot sandals would rig them for the SLink Kitten feet!  PLEASE!

I’m going to have to run back and see what else DE.Boutique has to offer.  In the meantime, have a wonderful happy Friday!
