A Glass of Burgundy

Carrie’s Lingerie has brought us a lovely gown and lingerie set, the lovely Brea.  As a gown, Brea features a lovely flexi skirt to complement the Omega applier / SL layer body and stockings (and gloves).

The lingerie features the same body/torso as the gown, save without the transparent panel.    Brea is a beautiful gown, and reminds me of Carrie’s older Holiday Sparkles gown.  (Oooh, an applier re-release of that would be wonderful, Carrie!)

Mahalo, and a hui hou!

A New Moon

A few days ago, I had the pleasure to share with you a lovely collaboration between Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises and Bee Dumpling at The White Armory, two of my favourite period and fantasy designers.

Solas and Bee have forged this new collaborative effort into Silvan Moon Designs, featuring mesh clothing made by Solas and textured by Bee.  The first release under the Silvan Moon label is Calista Rain, a beautiful mesh wedding gown featuring rigged and unrigged mesh belt versions, and flexi cape and empire skirt that flow beautifully.

CalistaRain_c017

Solas’ skill with mesh can hardly be overstated — those aren’t applier gloves, they’re fitted mesh!  And Bee’s exquisite texturing brings it to life!

As I was getting this blog post together, I received word that Bee and Solas are releasing Calista Rain in a variety of colours!  I’ll have to post a few more pics later.

The Silvan Moon offerings are currently available at both Blue Moon Enterprises and The White Armory Shops, as well as a small Silvan Moon Designs shop.  Come and take a look!


Serene Beauty

Aloha, my friends — before it’s too late, I wanted to share this past week’s group gift from Bee at The White Armory.  Subarashi is a lovely little mesh yukata/kimono, complete with sandals fit for Slink flats.

Subarashi_c002

I love the bow detail.  I had to add some hair sticks from Dressed by Lexi‘s Narcissus, as they really work well with this hairstyle.

Subarashi_c003

This one will be at The White Armory for a little bit longer, so don’t waste time.  Head over and pick it up — and take a look at TWA’s other fine offerings while you’re there!

Mahalo, and a hui hou!


A Charming Collaboration

What’s better than a new release from one of your favourite merchants?  How about a new release from a collaboration of two of your favourites?  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises and Bee Dumpling at The White Armory have teamed up to bring you the Ivy Rose Gown, now at We <3 Role-Play.  This stunning mesh gown features swishy flexi add-ons at the hip and sleeve, and comes in seven delicious colours, with a fatpack available.  This is the gold:

IvyRose_c003

I don’t want to overload you with pics, but I had to include a few of the colours — shown below, mint, periwinkle, and silver.

Ivy Rose is also available in pink, sky, and teal.  I’m really hoping that Bee and Solas team up for more collaborations in the future.

Ivy Rose comes in seven mesh sizes plus a Slink, Belleza/Maitreya, and standard fitmesh versions.  There is a demo of Ivy Rose available, so please stop by We <3 Role-Play and pick one up today!

Mahalo, and a hui hou!

 

 


A Maiden Fair

I have a new favourite outfit to share with you today!  Sorrell and Rose at Angel Fae have brought us Sweet Maiden in Meadow Clover.  This lovely mesh skirt, top and shawl combination is a group gift available now!  It is all mesh, and comes in five standard sizes plus Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fitmesh versions!

SweetMaiden_c011

  • Angel Fae — Sweet Maiden (meadow clover) long sleeve off-shoulder crop-top, skirt, and shawl
  • Angel Fae — Jade and Silver necklace
  • Dressed by Lexi — Maui sandals
  • [addme.] — FG1602CCB5-2 pose

The Jade and Silver necklace is included with the Sweet Maiden combo.  This beautiful piece will definitely be getting some use in my wardrobe beyond this outfit!

SweetMaiden_c006

A little story for you — when I originally picked up the group gift, the necklace had not been included in the vendor.  I hadn’t even realised until I received an unsolicited apologetic note and inventory offer from Sorrell rectifying the mistake.  I’ll admit, I was a little amazed at such customer service!  It’s those little things, you know, that really make a customer come back and spend their hard-earned money.

Please stop by Angel Fae today.  Pick up this darling offering, and take a look at the other amazing pieces that Sorrell and Rose have created for you.  You won’t be sorry that you did!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Dangerous

There’s no other word for it.

Just dangerous.

Dangerous_ce005

Carrie’s Lingerie brings us Dangerous, a catsuit/bodysuit in Omega appliers and mesh, with five standard sizes plus fitmesh for Slink Physique and Hourglass.  Dangerous comes in six mouth-watering colours, and is available in the Carrie’s VIP section now!

I’ve complemented Dangerous with some jewelry from Rowena’s Designs.  The necklace and ear cuffs both feature colour-change HUDs with a choice of five different lovely hues.

Dangerous_ce011

The open back is perfect for framing my favourite tat.

Dangerous_e003

Can you believe Blue lent me the keys?  When it comes to parallel parking… I’m clearly.. Dangerous.


A Time for Flowers

I thought I’d take a moment to show you this week’s group gift from The White Armoury!  Le Temps des Fleurs is all mesh in the standard five sizes, with separate sleeve bows and a lovely little chiffon collar ruffle and overskirt.

LesTempsDesFleurs_c003

A little detail showing the collar and bows at the sleeves.

This is available at The White Armoury through Saturday, but they’ll have a new group gift up on Sunday, so don’t dawdle!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


When I heard the learned astronomer….

You know what?  Walt Whitman did a lot of good, but that poem gets it all completely wrong.  Old Walt may have understood a lot… but he clearly didn’t understand the thrill of understanding.

I picked up this lovely outfit as part of the hunt, and love it enough that I had to share it with you!

Alchemist_c003

Let me make a statement here: NO, astrology is not based on science.  But the planetary symbols used here are used by astronomers as well.  I have not seen the constellation symbols used, however.  In any case, I can love the dress — and the detail — without buying into astrological mumbo-jumbo!

Alchemist_c001

The necklace and headband feature planetary symbols — Mercury on the headband, Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, and Mercury on the necklace.Alchemist_c006

A momentary rant?  There is a lovely belt that is included with this outfit, but it suffers one of the problems that I’ve seen multiple times in SL.  The belt is too large for the outfit, and can’t be resized small enough!  now, that’s one thing when you have fitmesh or SL layers or appliers — but when you are using the standard mesh sizes, the creator should be very aware of how small the item needs to be!  Unfortunately, the belt that goes with this was no-mod, so I couldn’t unlink it and properly size it.  🙁   Fortunately, the dress looks good even without the belt.  Please, creators!  Pay attention to your sizes when you’re creating accessories!  Not everyone in SL is an amazon!

Okay, rant-mode off.  🙂   Mahalo, everyone!  A hui hou!


Tropical Blossoms

Kerryth at Spyralle has surprised us all with a lovely gift available for everyone.  She’s been updating older outfits with Omega appliers to replace the SL clothing layers, and has offered the Heliconia Kilau’ea as an open gift to all — no group membership needed for this one!

SpyralleHeliconiaKilauea_c003

Heliconia comes with three lovely skirt designs, two versions of a three-tiered design (one of which is pictured above) and a simple single flat-hemmed skirt (shown in the images below).  The skirts are flexi, and swish very nicely as you walk or dance.

SpyralleHeliconiaKilauea_c005

Kerryth’s fractal-inspired artwork and lovely colour palettes just make her work a true joy to wear, and perfect for the lu’au.

Stop on by Spyralle and pick up Heliconia, and take a look at Kerryth’s many other amazing works.  You won’t be sorry you did!

Mahalo, and a hui hou!
