The Autumn Queen

Aeon LotD, Moments

By many reckonings autumn has not yet begun, but for many of us the feeling of change is in the air, and we start looking forward to the turn of summer to fall.  The Sisters of Eden appointed our new queen this past weekend, and our newly-crowned Sister was gracious enough to let me take an hour of her time for photographs.

Ladies and gentlemen, with your permission, let me present to you the Autumn Queen, her royal floofiness, Kie Dagger!

Queen Kie is wearing the Fall edition of the Demeter Gown from Evie’s Closet.  Demeter is rigged mesh in four sizes with add-on flexis to create the gown.  While rigged mesh is a bit old-school these days, flexis are the best way to create a gown that’s good for something other than standing still for a photograph in.  Evie certainly has created some amazing gowns, and this look is absolutely gorgeous.

Queen Kie is the perfect neko.  Her tail and ears from Fluffy Bushy appear to be no longer available, but the whole ensemble (skin, gown, tail & ears and hair) work beautifully to create her elegant look.

There are stressful times as a photographer and there are easy times.  I was very glad that Luane of Luane’s World Poses had already converted her sim to autumn.  Luane’s World is a beautifully decorated group of sims, and it’s the perfect backdrop to many of my photo shoots.

Believe it or not, autumn is one of my favourite times of the year.  There is a special beauty — beyond the brightly coloured leaves, beyond the pumpkin spice everything.    Our lovely Queen embodies that peace and quiet grace.   I wish you all a wonderful Autumn!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Friday on the beach

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy Aloha Friday, my friends! I get to share my new fave swim cossie with you, a beautiful kini top and skirt from Jazabelle Boutique!  As are most of Jaz’s creations, it’s a complete outfit, including jewelry and shoes, and a few clothing options as well!

Jaz included a lovely pair of unrigged slippers/clogs with matching print.  Normally I’d look for SLink- or Lara- rigged footwear, but I’m really happy with these.  Not only do they fit both Lara and SLink feet well (those being what I tried), but they’re also adjustable, so that I could modify them to fit with the SLink Kitten feet, which are half-way between ‘flat’ and ‘mid’.  I really love that!

I really love the little dolphin necklace (“nai`a” in ‘ōlelo Hawai’i).  It’s a wonderful little piece, and completely perfect for this outfit!

My Little Plumeria includes a very skimpy thong top and bottom, but I love the skirt and full top.    The thong bottom can be worn with the skirt, and there’s a modesty panel for the skirt if you like as well.

Every day is beach day on the Islands.  Relax, take a breath, and savour… breath in the sea air, and let your worries float away on the waves.

Spirit of the Deep

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy Aloha Monday!  The ocean beckons, can you hear her calling?

She looks with longing to home… feeling it always within her… and always on the horizon

You’re probably quite aware of a little affinity I have for exotic skins.. and for the ocean.  Take me to the sea, to the waves, wrap me in the embrace of the water.  Alia at  Fallen Gods has been playing the siren, feeding the call with a series of oceanic skins.  Today I just wanted to share Deep Spirit, a beautiful deep blue skin currently available at The Liaison Collaborative.  It’s available in two different beautiful versions, with the gentle texture of scales.

I’ve complemented the Deep Spirit skin with a beautiful little fitmesh gown from Caverna Obscura, the lovely Siren. It’s just gently iridescent, and the included pearl jewelry is just right for this naiad.

As the sparkling waters envelop you, feel the life surround you, drawing you back to the beginning

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderful sim that I visited for the shots. Las Islas is a wonderful island paradise, a beautiful setting for tropical photography, and a showcase of some really amazing tropical scenery, available at the store.   You’ve seen quite a few of my shots taken there, and will see more in the future!

Quick, before this edition of  The Liaison Collaborative comes to an end, stop by and take a look at Deep Spirit and all of the other goodies!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

An iridescent Friday

Aeon LotD

Aloha!  Happy Friday my friends!  I have this wonderful little iridescent ‘kini that I picked up earlier this summer from Quirky, and because of RL issues I just never got the chance to share it with you.  This is Belle, available in three different holographic/iridescent colours.

It’s a little shiny, a little sparkly, a lot lovely.  A lot how I hope your Friday is!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Return of the Roaring 20s

Aeon LotD

 

Aloha kākou!  Hello everyone, I’ve been having a lovely summer, with some nice time spent on the islands and some time spent working on some projects, but I’m back and excited to share some things with you!

This weekend the Sisters of Eden held a flapper party, capturing the spirit of the Roaring ’20s.  I’d had this lovely dress from Silvan Moon Designs, Ain’t Misbehavin, that I’d blogged before.  But since that time, I’d found a few new jewelry pieces and some much better hair, so I thought I’d share them with you.

The shot above uses the Flux pose set from ecru poses.  I picked it up at The Liason Collaborative recently, and they’re just a lot of fun!

The hair is definitely the biggest improvement over the old pics!  no.match has some amazing styles, and no.commission suited me best.  It felt perfect with the outfit — and with my own style.  I replaced the headband that came with Ain’t Misbehavin’ with an improved one, Clara, from Empyrean Forge.  It’s a better mesh and texture.  Yes, I know, the pic below is a bit dark to show it off, but what can I say, I really like the shot anyway.

The rear view really shows off the Petit Vigne back necklace, framed by the scoop back of Ain’t Misbehavin’.  The shot below also shows off the beautiful backseam Nyla stockings from Alaska Metro <3.

The original Ain’t Misbehavin’ post was back in 2016, almost exactly three years ago.  I can’t believe it’s three years old, but it does go to show that just because something is a little older doesn’t mean it’s still not fantastic.  A little updating and I’m ready to dance!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Sailors beware

Perhaps lashing yourself to the mast won’t be enough to save you from the siren…. her song is lilting and enticing, speaking of need and loss and possibility…

Aloha my friends!  We’re halfway through July, which means halfway through the current episode of We Love Role Play!

There’s a lovely host of things there every month, and this month is no exception.  I have a lovely number of things to share with you today.  Let’s start with Pure, a beautiful skin from Fallen Gods.  It’s available in several different shadings, from the lighter blue Sapphire tint to a more darker Cerulean.  I chose Abyss, a beautiful darker pupley-blue shade.  I’ve augmented it with body and face tattoos from Spyralle‘s Waverider (Pacific) outfit — you can see that better in later photos.

Silvan Moon Designs brings you Water Nymph, a beautiful short-hemmed empire-fit dress with gauzy flexi silks to blow about you in the breeze.  Water Nymph  comes in fitmesh for Maitreya and SLink mesh bodies, and is available in your choice of four different colours.  This is Dream, a lovely purple-tinted white.

I’ve complemented this with a variety of jewelry items, but of particular note is the Mare Headpiece from Just Another Shop {JAS}.  Mare comes with a texture HUD allowing you a wealth of choices for pendants, chain, and star colours.

One last bit I want to showcase in these three images — the Pinnacles photo props from Spyralle.  Kerryth brings you a lovely pack of three different rocky pinnacles that are just perfect for marine images, exclusively at the La vie en pose event!  This is a lovely little event for photographers, full of poses, props, and other lovely things — and a LOT of free gifties!

I set these down in heavy surf off the coast of the Realm of Light, with a lovely shipwreck in the far distance.  I think these are going to be a lot of fun with photos, and will likely have some landscaping opportunities for you as well.

Happy Summer shopping!  A hui hou kākou!

Faerie of the Star

Happy aloha Friday, my lovely friends!

I’ve been playing a lot with exotic skins lately, mostly from Fallen Gods.  I’ve been on the lookout for new and interesting outfits that not only look good with the skin, but perhaps more importantly, that enhance the appearance of the skin: combinations that make both the skin and the clothing better.

I stumbled across such an outfit at this month’s We Love Role Play — the Tengu Precious from Sasheba’s Closet!

Tengu comes with a hud with three colour scheme options (silver, gold, larimar), but is tintable.  I added a little violet to the larimer, and got something that was just PURRRFECT for the Sidera skin from Fallen Gods.

So, the bad news, I just took TOOO many photos… so I’m going to let the outfit speak for itself… as I dance beneath the starry ‘verse.

My wonderful friends, I hope that you have a happy relaxing weekend!  You can still get to We Love Role Play over the weekend, don’t delay!  There are SOOO many beautiful things to find!

A hui hou kākou!

Beachwear, summerwear

Aeon LotD

Okay, I’ll admit.  I’m not generally in a skimpy bikini on the beach — fair skin and ginger hair makes the Sun much more of an enemy than a close friend…. so when I am out on the beach, it’s SPF 10000 and cover up what I can.  I saw this little group gifty pop up at Java Fashion Designs and knew it would be perfect for a day out!

  • Java Fashion Designs — Library Girl Dress (green) (Freya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Physique/Hourglass/Ebody/Curvy/Fine/Ocasin/Tmp Fitmesh, rigged mesh sizes)
  • Spyralle – Summer Leaf bracelets and earrings
  • Luanes World — Try to Forget You pose (mirror)

 

 

Whether on the beach or just a happy summer dress, Library Girl was a pleasant find.  There’s another texture available as a gifty for a different group, so I may have to show you that one later.

Please always be safe at the beach!  And use coral-safe sunscreen if you’re at the ocean!

A hui hou kākou!

Supernova

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

There was a little story I heard on the social media earlier this week, and with apologies to the OP, I want to try to retell it for you quickly.

I went to the coffee shop and as the barista handed me my espresso, he leaned over and in a quiet voice whispered “Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle”.

Somewhat startled, I smiled and thanked him… and as I turned away to get about my day, I overheard his co-worker tell him “Aww, man, will you knock it off with your inspirational shit?  Nobody wants to hear that!”

He replied “I am NOT going to let YOU dull my sparkle!”

With that in mind… here is a little bit of sparkle!

  • Mishmash Fusion — Nyota Supernova minidress (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/eBody Curvy/eBody Classic/Altamura Sophia/Standard fitmesh)
  • Fallen Gods — Opal Laguna skin
  • Evelock Celtic Sheaf Lapis Lazuli Necklace & Earings
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Noir Leather)
  • an lar [poses] — The Irie Series – Two pose

Happy aloha Friday, my friends!  You’ve made it to the weekend!  How about something slink and sparkly and shimmery, perfect for going out to a little interstellar dancing?  I’d been looking for the right thing to wear with the beautiful Opal Laguna skin from Fallen Gods.  When I saw Mishmash Fusion‘s Nyota Supernova dress at the Sci-Fi con a couple weeks ago, I just knew it was perfect.  I didn’t get the chance to share it with you before now, but it’s the perfect opportunity!

It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me how much I like opal.  The skin has the most beautiful opalescent highlights and I just couldn’t pass it up.  When I saw Nyota Supernova, I knew it was just the perfect complement.  The dress is overall black, with green and blue texture highlights that are a wonderful match to the skin.  Better yet, the cutouts reveal a lot of the opalescent highlights without being completely bare!

Happy Aloha Friday, everyone!  I wish you a safe and relaxing weekend!  Show off your sparkle!

A hui hou kākou!

Darkening light

As you’re undoubtedly aware, I’m a big fan of Silvan Moon Designs, and have the wonderful privilege to blog for them.  Solas and Bee do amazing work, and often feature a whole lot of beautiful medieval- and fantasy-themed gowns.

I think as a result I get very excited when Silvan Moon brings out an outfit that’s not a gown — it’s sure to be something special.

  • Silvan Moon Designs — Silverlight Elven Tunic for We Love Role Play (8 colour choices, Nightowl shown) (Maitreya/SLink fitmesh)
  • *LightStar — Celtic Trinity Knot (Silver & Gold) circlet and earrings
  • Bootgasm — Vail Winter Boot black
  • an lar [poses] — The Bella Series – Four (m) pose

The filigree belt is just wonderful — it’s mesh, not just textured onto the tunic, although it’s a single piece with the tunic.  The cape is a separate piece, and the breeches are appliers.

Happy Monday, everyone!  Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!
