Iridescence

I was dancing at Frank’s over the weekend with Blue, and thought that I hadn’t shared this lovely little gown with you before.  Despite the difficulties of dancing in an ankle-length all-mesh gown, this one is worth it to me!  Opal Pearl is an older group gift from Paisley Daisy.

  • AdonessSoyala earrings (sold as part of Soyala feathered mohawk)
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

The low back is scooped down to the bottom — no panties with this one!  But then, no unsightly panty line, either.
OpalPearl_c005aOne of my favourite things about this gown is the material — under different lighting conditions, it shifts from a very bright colour to a very dark one, giving a lovely iridescent effect.

Paisley Daisy has some very lovely outfits, and their group gifts are worth the small group join fee.  They’ve lately been doing more and more fitmesh, so they’re definitely worth checking out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Out for the night

It’s the end of the week, let’s go hit the pub and get a few drinks, maybe some darts, maybe some pool.  And when you find the perfect pair of jeans for that night out?VelvetBodysuitJeans_c004

Blueberry does a fantastic job with jeans.  Rica comes in the standard five mesh sizes, plus a variety of fitmesh for a bunch of mesh bodies: Slink (yay!), Maitreya, Venus, Freya, and Isis.
They even come in a ‘normal’ version and a tapered boot cut — all included in the purchase.  There’s also a belt with a colour-changing HUD – or you can just leave the belt off (toggled by the HUD).

So, that feeling when you find the perfect pair of jeans?  Yeah.  I feel pretty good.  🙂  Happy Friday, everyone!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Rainforests and sea turtles

The sun goes down and as the cool air sweeps down from Maunakea, we think, perhaps, that something a bit warmer than my pareo might be in order.  For a comfortable yet classy appearance, try the lovely Niike from Spyralle.  Niike Rainforest is Spyralle current group gift, and comes in the standard five mesh sizes plus three fitmesh sizes.Niika_c004

  • Spyralle – Niike Rainforest gown (Group Gift, 2016/07)
  • Spyralle – Honu Bone and  pāua shell necklace and earrings
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

The three included fitmesh sizes are not Slink/Belleza/Matreya fitmeshes, but I was able to get one to fit my Slink Physique pretty well.  As you might guess, any difficulty lies around the collar and chest.  Fortunately, not only are demos available, but Rainforest is yours free!

Niika_c007

Spyralle has done a lovely necklace and earring set for the Genre:Polynesia event.   Honu (“sea turtle”, in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi)  comes in several colour schemes, here shown in bone and pāua shell.  Honu is strung on a very simple thin cord, I think I’d prefer if it were on a slightly longer leather thong, perhaps, but it is a lovely piece!  I also picked up the koa and mother-of-pearl, which I’ll show off in a later post.

Niika_c005

Niike is a beautiful gown, and Rainforest is free to group members right now!  Stop by Spyralle and pick it up, and take a look at the other lovely colours that Kerryth has put up for sale.  Then go take a look at Genre:Polynesia for the lovely Honu necklace and earring sets.  They’re too pretty to pass up!

Aloha, a hui hou!


Charlie’s Angel

Well, I’m no angel… but I might be feeling a little devilish in Charlie, a lovely corset in the Carrie’s Lingerie VIP collection, complete with boy shorts, stockings and gloves.

Rising from the waves

Aloha!  If you have any trouble seeing any images, please go look at my flickr page.  We’re having some occasional problems with images right now!

As light as a gentle sea breeze, Silvan Moon Designs brings us this diaphanous shift for the Fantasy Cream event!
AquellaMarina_c008

Aquella Marina features a mesh shift in the five standard sizes, plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Physique fitmesh.  The bikini bottoms are Omega applier (with system layer included).  Optional flexi tendrils are also included, as is a very aquatic mesh headpiece!

AquellaMarina_c003

The headpiece is the same for the four different colours, but is very nicely blended to complement each dress.AquellaMarina_c005

Aquella Marina certainly has an aquatic feel to it — perfect for a naiad or nymph — but remove the headpiece and tendrils, and you have a very lovely gauzy chemise.

Dear Abby

Dear Abby – 

Today I decided to become dangerous.  I decided to be bold.  I decided to wear my pink like I meant it, framed in black lace.

And dear Abby, I am not asking you for advice.  I’ve got my own confidence, and you can stick it if you don’t like it.

Sincerely – 

Aeon

Bend with the breeze

The latest from Silvan Moon Designs is the lovely Willow Spirit, an all-mesh dress evoking the art nouveau style.  Willow Spirit comes in five colours, so a bunch of pictures for you today!

Each colour comes with its own matching headband.

As with other Silvan Moon products, Willow Spirit comes in the standard five mesh sizes plust Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fitmesh!

It’s not news, perhaps, that a long mesh gown has something of a limited use to someone who really likes to dance.  But Willow Spirit just keeps growing on me, and I find myself wearing it just for fun.  This is one beautiful outfit that is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.  Keep up the good work, Silvan Moon!

Mahalo! A hui hou!


Something new

Okay, that’s a silly title, perhaps, for a blog that spends so much time on new fashion in SL.  But here “something new” doesn’t just refer to this lovely group gift from Petite Mort!
Malliot_c009

  • Petite Mort — Tiedye Maillot (Group gift, 2016/07)

Tiedye Maillot is comes in standard sizes, plus Slink, Maitreya, and standard fitmesh.  I love fitmesh, and Petite Mort‘s does not disappoint.

Malliot_c010

You see, I had not heard the word “maillot” before, so I had to go and look it up.  It turns out it’s another name for a tank suit, or one-piece swim suit.  Who knew?  Well, plenty of people, but for me, it was something new.   What really caught my eye was the wikipedia article, which reported that a ‘tank suit’ is so called because it was a suit to wear in a swimming tank — i.e., a swimming pool.

Malliot_c004And a tank-top?  According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, a tank top is named for a tank suit — named for the pool in which you’d use it.  And that’s something else that I didn’t know.

Now, don’t you feel smarter?  Good, then go over to Petite Mort, because their goodies are gorgeous.

Hey, this is my one-hundredth post!  How about that?   Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Island hope

A lovely little gift from GLITTER to share with you today.  Island Hope comes in two colours, the lovely blue  and another in pinks and oranges.  I’m rather partial to the blue.  🙂
HopeBlue_c004a

Hope Flowers is in two-part mesh, each in the standard five mesh sizes.  It’s got a good fit, although the front hem can play a little havoc with the alpha zones on a mesh bod.  I find I get a tiniest bit of a hitch, but it’s really not noticeable under normal circumstances.

HopeBlue_c007

GLITTER tends to keep gifts up for a while, so I didn’t bother posting a date on this one.  All the same, I’d stop by and pick this up — and look at the other gifts — and peruse the other fine offerings they have to offer.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
