A bit of sun before the dark

The seasons are turning, but not too much to get to the beach!  This lovely little wrap-around top and pair of shorts from L.c is perfect for beachcombing.

Careful, don’t slip on the wet rocks.  The water is getting a little cooler this time of year….

One more witch for this season?

Petite Mort brings us a wonderful little in-store hunt for my final witch of the season: each item in the hunt is part of the Gypsy Witch – hat, skirt, lace shawl, peasant top, and pentacle choker.  Three’s still a little time before All Hallow’s Eve!

pmhuntwitch_c006

The Gypsy Witch features Petite Mort‘s flour sack peasant top, lace shawl, and gypsy skirt.  Each comes in the standard five sizes, plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fitmesh!

Setting the hat aside for a moment, Gypsy Witch makes for a wonderful slightly gothy outfit.  OMG I love Petite Mort‘s fitmesh!

A little bit of a closeup on the choker.  The witch’s hat can oversize a bit without looking out-of-sorts, but a little creative editing of a hairdo can always help, too.  🙂   I don’t usually wear heavy eyeshadow or dark lippy, but it definitely works with this outfit, I think!

  • ProPose —  Group Gift September F1 pose

The worst part, to me, of the end of the Hallowe’en season?  Everyone always expects the costumes to be put away for another year.

Me, I’ll always wear my inner witch… so don’t be surprised if you see me in my pointy hat out-and-about in SL.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A Darker Witch

Perhaps I just have a bit of an affinity for witches.   🙂

Today’s is a lovely special from your favourite steampunk supplier, Pixel Box.  Halloween Stuff Witch comes in four dark shades, and you know that I had to take a look at the green one!

pmwitch_c004

  • Pixel Box — Halloween Stuff – Witch Green (top, skirt, boots, hat, broom)
  • REIGN — Tattoo Choker Necklace (“Deathly” and “Spellbound”)
  • //elephante poses// — Rose #2

pmwitch_c008

REIGN offers this beautiful little mesh choker in three varieties.   While the name is “Tattoo”, it’s not a tattoo, it is a lovely little bit of mesh!   I’ve shown both below — “Spellbound” with a pentacle charm, “Deathly” featuring the Deathly Hallows.  I can’t decide which I like best, but each comes in black, gold, and silver.  And best yet, all three metals for each of the two charms is included for one lovely little price!

And whatever you do, don’t blink.

Unsurprisingly, Pixel Box also offers an accessory kit that will give this gothy beauty a steampunk bent.  It’s definitely worth checking out!

Season of the Witch

Aeon LotD, Reviews

Okay, fair warning?  I have a couple of witches to show you over the next few days.  To start, let’s have some Donovan, because MUSIC!

So Witch Hazel is a amazing fun little costume from Blue Moon Enterprises.  Solas made this for the Fantasy Cream event last year (2015) , but she’s got it back in the shop right now!  WAIT!  Is that a cauldron under my skirts?
 witchhazel_c002

  • Blue Moon Enterprises – Witch Hazel, gown, hat, and pendant, designed for 2015 Fantasy Cream, currently available in the shop!

Yes, that’s right – the skirt is open at the front to reveal a little Hallowe’en inspired scene featuring a bubbling cauldron and grinning Jack-o-lantern!  Is it silly? OMG yes!  Is it fun?  YES!

witchhazel_c003This one is perfect for that happy All Hallows’ Eve party!  It has every bit of the excellent mesh you’ve come to expect from Blue Moon, with a wonderful sense of humour!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A little Pepper for spice

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I’ve been wanting to share this lovely dress from !Soul with you for a while, and a new makeup applier from [GA.EG] has given me the perfect opportunity!

pepper_c003

  • !Soul — Pepper minidress
  • .wound — Ribbon choker (vibrant)
  • [GA.EG] — Nefertiti eye shadow
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather
  • ProPose —  Group Gift September F1

pepper_c002

Pepper is all mesh, with Slink and Maitreya fitmesh, and has a hud with a staggering number of colour choices:  Main colours and piping are independently selectable from a palette of  60 colours!  Oh, wait- and there are two different palettes of 60 choices to choose from!

The other lovely item I want to share is this amazing eyeshadow.  I’ll confess to having always loved the Egyptian kohl look, and [GA.EG] has really made it hum!  Now, a word of note: the [GA.EG] makeups are an add-on to the [GA.EG] head Smart HUDs, so this isn’t an Omega applier for everyone.  But WOW, it’s a beauty, with a host of accent colours plus a variety of other customising possibilities.  Nefertiti installs into the [GA.EG] Smart HUD, so there’s no extra HUD to use, your whole makeup kit is there at your fingertips!
 pepper_c006

A few more variations — with a green-and-silver dress and some different colours on the eyeshadow!

There’s an additional version with lovely cross-strapping across the back.  I may well have to run back and pick it up.  !Soul has previously released a number of cute minis as group gifts, but this one has them beat.  Now, if only we might get this with the rainbow texture, I’d be in complete heaven!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The Ninth Annual Fallen Gods festival has started!  Concerts, battles, shows, and shopping!  Silvan Moon Designs offers Well of Souls, an exclusive gown just for this event!

wellofsouls_c002

Like all of Silvan Moon Designs‘ pieces, Well of Souls comes in five fitmesh sizes plus fitmesh for Maitreya and Slink mesh bodies, and includes fitted gloves.  Several flexi add-ons give a lovely dynamicism to this gown!

wellofsouls_c010I’ve added a gothic choker and tiara.  And I’m crushingly embarrassed to tell you that I cannot figure out where I got it: it was a hunt gift from at least six months ago, and the items don’t have information on their origin other than their creator — ℬεĮĮ VɑĮεrϊε WℴĮƒε. wellofsouls_c009

Whether you’re looking for a gown for Samhain, All Hallow’s Eve, or a gown for roleplay — Well of Souls is a beautiful work of art!  Stop by Fallen Gods today, and visit Silvan Moon Designs!

The Hollies had it right.

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I am neither long nor cool, but two things I am quite sure of:

  1. The Hollies knew how to sing it
  2. Every girl needs her LBD.

Dressed by Lexi is making sure you’re covered with a great little in-store hunt until the end of October!  It’s 10L per item, but there are five fantastic Little Black Dresses for you to aquire!  I thought I’d share my favourite of the bunch with you here, the delectable Mrs. Jones.

lbd_dbl_mrsjones_c006

lbd_dbl_mrsjones_c004

Mrs. Jones comes in standard mesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fitmesh!

lbd_dbl_mrsjones_c005

After thought #1: Remember, this hunt is only on until the end of October!  Get over there post-haste!

After thougth #2: Unlike The Hollies, there’s no weaponry involved.  Where would I hide it?

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Autumn moon

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Sometimes I have an item in my inventory that I rather like – but I just don’t seem to be able to find the right outfit to put it with.  It sits there lurking in the background, maybe even prompting the “should I get rid of it?” thoughts when I come across it.

Well, Owl Moon by Spyralle was one of those for me, until a week ago.  Eden was holding our Autumn Queen dance, and I thought of this gown — and with a few ingenious additions, put together an outfit that I can’t wait to wear again and again!

septembermoon_c008

Owl Moon is a lovely mesh gown (rigged mesh in the standard five sizes), and I’ll admit, part of the problem in my inventory may be my love to dance — and the… awkwardness… of some mesh gowns for dancing.  Well, part of that, of course, is to choose your dances appropriately.  Some shuffle-y dances from Humanoid did just the trick for me!

The wreath of daisies from Caverna Obscura accentuates the oranges and greens, as do a fire opal pendant and earrings from Evelock.septembermoon_c009

For the dance itself, I added a beautiful pair of wings from Faeline Fairy — because sometimes everyone needs to unfurl their wings.  Shigeko come in a several colour schemes, but the oranges and purples just seemed made for Owl Moon September.

septembermoon_c002

So, lessons? Go back and look at your inventory with fresh eyes, you might find new and exciting ways to use things — whether they’re old favourites or items you’ve never worn.  And don’t get rid of that pretty outfit just because you haven’t worn it yet, no matter how long you’ve had it!  😉

And go take a look at Spyralle — Owl Moon comes in a number of beautiful patterns!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Atomic age

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

How about a little music for my old friend Whit?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Aq5cqjUFOo

The 50s!  Chrome and streamliners, the promise of the atom to power our homes, airplanes, spaceships!  Eclectic Stars brings us Swingers – Atomic, a beautiful swing dress drawing us back to that time when we still looked at nuclear power with hope — but with bright shiny mesh instead of chrome and Naugahyde!

atomicswingers_c008

Eclectic Stars has made Swingers in the standard five mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for Physique, Hourglass, Maitreya and TMP mesh bodies!   I just happened to have this lovely atom-inspired necklace and earring set from Dressed by Lexi‘s Chemical Reaction, a four-part hunt gift from about a year ago.  Seems as if it were made for this dress!

atomicswingers_ce002

I love the satiny sheen on the top!  I really need to look at more of Eclectic Stars‘ offerings — particularly since Jadziya promises “A little bit cheeky, many bits geeky!”  It seems, perhaps, a store after my own heart.
atomicswingers_c007

And before you say anything, no, atoms do NOT look like that.  It’s a cartoon.  But images of s- and p-orbitals would be much less reminiscent of the 1950s kitsch.  🙂
