Make it Snow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeaehxEdpgo

If you’re not laughing yet, you may should just skip this post.  🙂  Have I mentioned that I love Eclectic Stars’ sense of humour?  How about a nice snuggly jumper?  No, really, I mean literally Snuggly,  A warm funny jumper in five standard mesh sizes!

Even better,  this is one of those wonderful extra-fuzzy-on-the-inside jumpers that feels so good on your skin.  😀

This island girl loves her snow — Poli’ahu has been dancing on her mauna, and the summit is covered in the white stuff.  Even Mauna Loa got some snow this past weekend!

So I’m ready for the cold weather.  Are you?  Make it Snow.  🙂

Aloha!  A hui hou!

 

 

 

 

 


Cozy

Mmmms ,warm and snug and still sexy for the winter?  Yes, please!  I love a sweater and tights, and Alaska Metro <3 has the lovely Heather sweater dress in 6 colours!  It’s hard to beat a nice form-fitting sweaterdress in the cooler months.

Stay warm my lovely friends!

To seek out new life, and new civilisations…

I’m so happy to announce that I’m now an official blogger for Eclectic Stars!  Jadziyah has a wonderful sense of style for all the nerds out there of every stripe!   Let me share with you a great example of her work — Shifty — and maybe stir up a little controversy!

shifty_c004

Rowena Springlower’s Tanith boot is the perfect fit to complement this outfit, and comes with a fantastic colour HUD!

Hmmm… now, how did that happen?  Let me check my code….

shifty_c002

As you might expect, Shifty is available in three colours: blue, red, and gold for science, engineering, and command.  Hmm, tricorders have gotten smaller over the years… who could have guessed?
shifty_c008

Wait, what controversy?  Jadziyah named each outfit for the colour scheme on the new series – where command is red and engineering is gold.  In the original 1966 series, gold was for command, and red for engineering and security!  I’ve seen angry fights break out over this that make some sporting rivalries look tame!  And yes, blue was science in all series.

shifty_c006

Whichever side of the controversy you’re on, you’ll love Shifty.  It’s available in fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Physique bodies, as well as the standard five mesh sizes.    Beam on over to Eclectic Stars and see what other fab things there are for you to find!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Cyber Angel

The lovely Ia agreed to model for me again, and shows off one of my favourite of her outfits, a cyber angel, hard as steel and tender as a kiss

The mecha tail is wonderfully animated, darting about with a mind of its own.  I’m quite sure it’s powered by a cat’s brain — ahhh, the miracles of future tech.

ia_cyber_c010

I think… to get philosophical for a moment…. that one of the joys of SL, or cosplay — or any similar opportunity to change who we are, or who we look like — is that we get the chance to explore ourselves more.  I can look at Ia’s bionics – her wings, the little mechapet floating around — and her beauty, her humanity shines all the more.

ia_cyber_c008

Mahalo nui loa to Ia for sitting for my camera again.  I’ll try to talk her into posing again sometime, this was a lot of fun!

The Woodcutter’s Daughter

Aloha, my friends!   Enchantment is on, and Silvan Moon Designs has the perfect dirndl set for you:  The Woodcutters Daughter!
woodcuttersdaughter_c001

As you’ve come to expect, Silvan Moon leaves little lacking: the multilayered mesh is beautifully crafted and textured, giving a perfect look for roleplaying, that Octoberfest party (that’s only 11 months away!) or for wearing just because it makes you happy.

woodcuttersdaughter_c003

Woodcutter’s Daughter comes in four colours: a delightful hunter green, blue, lilac, and turqoise (not shown).

woodcuttersdaughter_c008

The whole dirndl set is crafted into one piece: Skirt, blouse, bodice and apron. Silvan Moon has you covered with five standard mesh sizes plus fitmesh versions for Maitreya and Slink avatars plus a fitmesh for the standard SL avatar.

Silvan Moon Designs never disappoints.  Stop by Enchantment today — pick up a demo or a fatpack — and take a look at the other treasures around the event.  Then visit Silvan Moon Designs and see what else Bee and Solas have created for you!

Ia

Wow!  The glamorous Ia Riederer has agreed to model for my camera!  She tolerated a ridiculously long photo shoot, but I hope that you’ll agree it’s worth it.

Ia shows off some wonderful pieces from Blueberry.  I’ve really fallen in love with Blueberry lately: they feature some gorgeous meshes and textures, for the casual to the classy!  Ia leaves no doubt where on that spectrum she falls on.

ia1__c014

I love the choker and armlets/bracers. Blueberry‘s clothing is materials enabled: the armlets and the sequins on Ia’s top really catch the light.

Should a photographer tell which shots are her favourites?  Perhaps not.  In any case, look for more from Ia in the future!

Lady of the Highlands

Oh my, I am terribly embarrassed.  I had taken photos for a post on a lovely tartan gown from Silvan Moon Designs, and somehow in some research-related travels had not gotten the post written — and then had forgotten about the photos.  So let me share Lady Broch Tauroch with you now!  Lady Broch Tauroch is available in three beautiful colours, and only at We Love Roleplay!   Below is Moors, a lovely dark green.ladybrochtuarach_c011

The Highlands pattern features a dark dusty blue tartan.

The fine detail on this gown is amazing.  I’m so very impressed with the pattern on that knit scarf, as well as the lovely pin included.

ladybrochtuarach_c007

It’s a beautiful sunset… and the heather palette features the lavender shades of those pretty blossoms

ladybrochtuarach_c003

Stop by We Love Roleplay! and take a look  This is a gorgeous gown, and while it’s stunning for roleplay, it’s also just perfect for the cooler weather as we in the northern hemisphere move into winter.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

 


Evangelise

Well, no, not evangelise…  but Evangeline  is Silvan Moon Design‘s exclusive offering for the Fantasy Gacha Carnival!  

evangeline_c001

I complemented Evangeline with a nice little black necklace and earrings from Carrie’s Lingerie, included with the Megan corset.  Gold might also work, but I wanted something subdued that wouldn’t detract from the beautiful brocade on the collar and gown.

evangeline_c002

You know, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  Solas’ mesh skill combined with Bee’s texture artistry…. what an amazing duo!  Please go out and support these two, they make an amazing team!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


A dream of djinni

Okay, I love Susanne Vega, so this must makes me grin a LOT.

I’ve been very excited to share this outfit with you!  A wonderful friend gave me a beautiful birthday gift: Genie, a beautiful mesh outfit from Caverna Obscura, and I’ve been anxious to show you all!

genie_c015

Genie is glorious.  It’s available in Maitreya and Slink fitmesh, and available in three different colours: the purple shown here, black, and gold.  All three are beautifully tempting, and while I deliberated,  I had to choose purple.  🙂

Each colour comes in two versions: the transparent one, and an opaque if you wish to be a little more discrete.

genie_c011

Genie is a perfect opportunity for to show off Nefertiti, the beautiful kohl from [GA.EG].

genie_c028

Caverna Obscura has always had beautiful outfits, and I’m so happy to see their outfits now in mesh-body-friendly fitmesh.  Please stop by and take a look!  Please note that Caverna offers a demo for Genie, but all of the outfit components are locked together.  In the full version, each of the components may be worn independently!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
