Teddy Bare

Okay, so.. I’m a bit of a sucker for a nice teddy.  Is it the high cut at the hip?  The lace?  Whatever it is, Carrie’s Lingerie‘s Ashley is plenty enticing.

Ashley is available in Omega appliers as well as standard SL layers.  Stockings, gloves, and teddy are all independently selectable.  I particularly love the backseamed stockings — I’ll be adding these to some black and gold dresses as well.

Like ShellyAshley was available only at the Fashion for Life event, so I’m just being a tease.

You know the lingerie is good when you feel more naked wearing it than not!

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!


Melting into Spring

From your silver-white winter, Solas from Blue Moon brings us a lovely dress for Spring!  Rebecka is an exclusive for the Fantasy Cream event, and is available only there until April 18!

Rebecka_019_c

Rebecka comes in three different fitmeshes for Slink, Belleza/Maitreya, and for the Classic SL body.  There’s a demo available, so please try that first!

Rebecka_023_c

Solas has created three lovely colours for Rebecka – the green-and-yellow Leaf shown above, the blue and green Sky shown below, as well as a lovely pink-and-coral Petal.  I’ll admit, I wasn’t set to turn blond today, so you’ll just have to stop by Fantasy Cream if you would like to see the pink!  But I feel so totally Dorothy in this lovely frock!

Please be sure to visit the Fantasy Cream hunt.  There’s a lovely head wreath for Blue Moon’s hunt gift,  and you can vote for your favourites and win some cool prizes!  It’s definitely an event not to miss!

Aloha and mahalo, my friends!

 


Dreams of Shelly

Another sweet little bit of lace from Carrie’s Lingerie: the lovely Shelly.  Shelly comes in both Omega appliers and standard SL layers, with independently selectable gloves, teddy, stockings and suspenders.  ShellyTeal_019_c

It’s interesting shooting lingerie – a different style of photo than I typically have been taking.  It’s fun — and expanding — to do something different for a change!

Note – Shelly was offered by Carrie for this year’s Fashion For Life event which has now concluded, but may return to the main store at some point in the future! Lesson?  Don’t miss out on opportunities from Carrie’s!

Mahalo, and aloha!


A little retro for spring

Blue Moon Enterprises has a lovely gift for you all this month, with a bit of 1950’s retro styling.  Lana is a beautiful little springy dress in fitmesh.  It’s a beautiful little number!

Lana_005

Speaking of beautiful numbers, wow, there’s no one that can shake it like the King… but don’t we all try?

Mahalo, my friends, and aloha!


Éire go Brách!

I’ve long had an uneasy relationship with St. Patrick’s day.  If you want to know why, you can take a look here.  But it’s always a great day to celebrate Éirinn, so I just had to share Celtic Beauty with you, a lovely gown with a flexiprim skirt, mesh earrings and crown, and an optional cape.   Dressed by Lexi keeps adding Slink and Omega appliers to outfits, and the result is something to raise a glass of Guinness over!

CelticBeauty_017_c

  • Dressed by Lexi – Celtic Beauty (with included jewelry, applier sold separately)
  • Chez GiGi Monaco Gold Evening Sandals

CelticBeauty_021_c

The Celtic knot detailing is just amazing, on the top, cape, and hem, and the golden ivy crown is the perfect complement.

CelticBeauty_001_c

And you can always shrug off the cape to reveal a light and gauzy skirt that flows wonderfully for dancing!
CelticBeauty_016_c

Please do stop by Lexi’s and take a look at her lovely offerings.  And however – and whatever –  you celebrate, please do so responsibly!  Éire go Brách!  

Mahalo – Go raibh maith agat!


Spill the wine

Let’s start by setting the stage:

I’m very proud (and a little bit blushing) to bring you a drink of wine from my latest sponsor!  Carrie’s Lingerie brings us Megan in wine, to be precise.

Megan_wine_5c

Megan_wine_003_c

Megan comes in Omega appliers for your favourite mesh body as well as standard SL system layers, with an optional little prim skirt.

Megan_wine_004_c

Is there any clothing item sexier than backseam stockings?  Well, it’s a very short list, if there is such a thing.

Megan_wine_007_c

Megan comes with so many options!  There is a bra, corset, and underbust corset for the top (I’m not showing you the underbust corset!!!)  You also may select stockings, garter, and panties independently for the bottoms. 
Megan_wine_12_c

And yes, perhaps I might just have to keep sharing some music, thanks to the wonderful Whitburn Blackburn.

Mahalo, and aloha!


Lovestruck Juliet

“A lovestruck Juliet, sings the streetside serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that she made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, You and me, babe, how about it?”

Well, that’s not how Mark Knopfler wrote it – or sang it – maybe… but why should Romeo get all the gold stars for his efforts?  Well, maybe we won’t get into looking at the sexes in Shakespeare too closely.  I suspect that not-a-few doctoral theses have been written on that topic!

But we should take a look at this latest group gift from Blue Moon Enterprises.  Lady Juliet is a lovely mesh gown in fitmesh for the standard SL avatar, Maitreya, and Slink!

LadyJuliet_004_c

LadyJuliet_006_c

I need to point out the lovely filigree choker from Strength & Charm that Blue gave me for my rez-day.  This is such a delicate little bronze-gold beauty, with three glittering emeralds.  It is perfect for this gown!  Mahalo, dear heart!   And a note of sincerest thanks to Aries Oh at S&C — her customer service is the best.

LadyJuliet_009_c

One more pic?  Just because I like the shadows.  🙂

LadyJuliet_001_c

Stop by Blue Moon today.  Pick up this amazing gift, and take a look around at some of the other fantastic designs that Solas keeps bringing us.  Grab a demo or two, and you’ll be hooked!

In the meantime, mahalo, my friends, and aloha!


Siren Song

The Twisted Hunt must be one of the most challenging hunt in all of Second Life.  But wow, is it worth it!  Here are two lovely hunt items

Sn@tch‘s Siren Sequin Gown is a lovely all mesh gown in the standard sizes, plus Maitreya and Slink Fitmesh sizes.  I love Slink Fitmesh!

SirenSequin_001

  • Sn@tch Siren Sequin Gown (Twisted Hunt gift)
  • Secrets of Gaia Twisted Odyssey Jewelry Gold/Onyx
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

SirenSequin_003

Odyssey is a lovely set.  A bit of a close-up on the necklace, font and back.  The earrings and bracelets feature the same fan design.  I think it works very nicely with Siren‘s embroidered motif.  One might even think that were planned, given the consanguinity of names!

SirenSequin_002

I love the little pendant in the back of the necklace.

SirenSequin_005

The Twisted hunt is a mighty challenge.  But wow, what happy discoveries!

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!


Pink world

Sometimes you just need to do something different.

In search of that ‘different’, my good friend Whit has decided to stop blogging after two years, and she’s been an inspiration to me here.  I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss her wit (heh) and her mentoring.  One of the things that she always enjoyed was pairing music with her fashion posts… so in her honour, a song from an obscure little band that I don’t know if anyone else has ever heard.  🙂

For me, ‘different’ is a little bit less dramatic – but only a little bit!  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises brings Darcy to Fair Play for the month of March.  Darcy is available in Slink and SL fitmesh, and it’s perfect!
Darcy_001_cropped

Light pink typically does not go so well with my colouring, so a little trip to the salon was necessary.  Blond?  well, it’s something different.

Darcy_006_cropped

Blue Moon also offers the Rose Crown as a lovely little gotcha gift, available only at Fair Play.

Darcy_003

I’m going to go back to my ginger, but it is certainly a bit different seeing myself as a blond.  It’s amazing how strongly little things – hair and eye colour for an avatar – can change the way you see yourself — or at least, the way that I see myself.  In any case, be sure to stop by Fair Play before this lovely little number disappears!

Mahalo, and aloha!


Lost in the mist

This week’s group gift from The White Armoury is the lovely Mists of Arador.  It’s a lovely all-mesh gown in separate top  and skirt pieces, with optional puffy sleeves, as well as matching bracelets and a brooch at the waist.

AradorDenalia_002

  • The White ArmoryMists of Arador – Denalia gown (group gift, 2016/03/06)
  • Chez GiGi – Monaco Gold Evening Sandals
  • Spyralle – Summer Leaf  necklace and earrings

AradorDenalia_004

In this day and age, I always test first against my Slink Physique mesh body. That is how I feel that I look my best!  I have no problem with the standard SL body, although I’m loathe to use SL hands or feet.

Arador was not specifically designed for mesh body: it features the standard five mesh sizes plus a SL fitmesh size.  I find that the XS fits the Physique body best, while the SL avatar works well with the XXS.

AradorDenalia_005

As with many similar meshes, I have problems with the straps on mesh tops/gowns at my shoulders: they sink beneath the skin on the Physique, and are too thin to use alpha zones.  I haven’t shown that here (the rear view shown below is with the standard SL avatar body), but long hair easily hides the glitch.

AradorDenalia_010

It really is a fine gown, and a lovely addition to my wardobe.  Mahalo to The White Armory for such a fine gift!

Mahalo, my friends, and aloha!
