What’s happening in Second Life?

August Redeux 2

blue Events, LotD

Here are a couple more gifts available for FREE at the August round of Redeux.  Just wear the group tag to pick them up from the most generous and wonderful creators!

This teddy is from The Forge, whose unique creations I really like.  And this is no exception.  The teddy only comes in a one-size-fits-all fitmesh, but it works really well on Lara.

And the furniture is from Cam on Me.  It has two poses, Languid and Venus (shown).  Both poses are copy, so you can take them and use them in your own furniture or pose stands.  Yay!

The August round of Redeux (located at Unbroken Isle) is on at the moment.  There are a ton of FREE gifts available if you join the event’s group.

For example, this white halter neck gown!

The gown comes in standard mesh sizes, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, and TMP.  It’s a lovely simple gown suitable for any formal occasion, and being fitmesh, it dances quite well.

I’m sure I’ll have a few more items to show you over the coming days!

Aloha, my friends!  A couple of treasures to share and a couple of events to mention on this lovely Friday!  First, let me share the Lady Tiana gown from Silvan Moon Designs, exclusive for Enchantment!  Enchantment takes you to the New Orleans bayou celebrating The Princess and the Frog, and Solas and Bee have created the perfect gown in commemoration!

I really loved how the hairpin flower from Geist and the Leah jewelry from*AvaWay* carry the organic floral motif of the gown.

These events won’t last forever!  Both the Okinawa Summer Festival 2018 and Enchantment last through the end of August!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Take a chance on Lady Penelope

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha, all!  Let’s take a look at a gorgeous little treasure that Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have created for the Fantasy Gacha Carnival!  This is Lady Penelope, available for Maitreya and SLink Physique bodies in seven different lovely light shades.

I finally got this lovely necklace and earring set from Empyrean Forge.  I’ve been gazing at Springleaf for several months, every time I’d stop by We Love Role Play… and finally Jaz got downright tired of me waivering over it.  it’s a large piece — larger than I usually wear, but it’s perfect for a strapless gown like Lady Penelope.  The pieces come with HUDs that allow eight different texture choices for the leaves, eight jewel choices, and two metal choices!  It’s perfect for that elegant organic touch.

Oh, yes, and I splurged a while back on a membership to Truth Hair.  Their group gift (sent right out through the group messaging system!) for the month of August is Yuko, a lovely long straight hair with a host of styling options.  While I definitely don’t look like me with straight hair, Truth’s hair is top-notch and I’m terribly impressed with the styling HUD.  It’s a lot of fun to play with!

As usual, Solas’ mesh and Bee’s texturing just can’t be beat.  I love the diaphanous sleeves and bodice on Lady Penelope.  Stop on by the Fantasy Gacha Carnival and take a look for yourself!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Happy Summer Days!

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A few little happies to share with you this beautiful Friday!  First up, Happy Summer Days is a gorgeous little dress from Miss Jones.  It’s currently featured on the Pleaseblossom path of the Midsummer Night’s Dream 9 Hunt!

OMG, I think it landed on my head!  The Aloha headpiece is a bright and cheery headpiece from Astralia that a friend found and just had to get for me.  It features a lovely HUD with a few colour choices for flowers and the bird.  

Happy Summer Days comes with an amazing HUD.  I tried to count, and I think that there are 37 solid colours you can choose from, and another 37 different patterned textures.  I might be off one in each column, so figure somewhere between 72 and 76  colour/pattern choices for you!  Your biggest problem will be choosing your favourite!

Just when you think that you’ve come to the end of the path…. the world opens up in front of you.

Have a wonderful Friday, a wonderful weekend my friends!  Stay cool out in the summer heat, or stay warm in the winter chill, and know that you are special and bright.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Here are two more items from SLB15!

This pretty little summery dress comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.  It has a five color HUD in pastels to change the color of the dress (not the pattern).

Normally I wear Slink feet, except when I’m wearing mid heeled shoes.  While the Maitreya feet are pretty, and you can change from low to mid to high with the HUD, I like being able to save a pair of matching shoes and feet with an outfit, then I don’t have to worry about the HUD.  There’s nothing as embarrassing as walking out with your feet at the wrong height for your shoes!  So my Maitreya feet are always set on mid.  Except when I find a pair of high heels for Maitreya as good as this!

These lovely peep toes are super, and they come with a HUD to let you change the sole shading (unfortunately not the upper, but you can’t have everything).  Note these are Maitreya only.

Summer Casual

Here’s a light and breezy summer dress from Sweet Thing, called Elisa Corset Dress, available at the Kustom9 event through the 15th. It’s available in 18 single solid colors; a six-color camo pack; a six-color ‘galaxy’ pack with constellation patterns; a six-color leopard pattern pack; a four-color pack with test on the top; and a fat pack of all of the singles and smaller packs plus three full pack only designs.

This is one of the solid colors matched with the wonderfully flexible Faith boots from Mesh Agency.

 

And a close up of the red color, for a better view of the lovely mesh corset detailing.

 

And finally, a view of one of the ‘galaxy’ patterns, with lovely constellations all around.

a fae’s amusement

Wow!  Summer classes have been keeping me busy, how much time have I let slip by without sharing?  I have a beautiful dress that I want to show you that I picked up at The Muses at We Love Role Play back in May, but it’s regularly stocked in the store now.  Daphne is a lovely wonderful little dress, just right for a dancing little fae.

Daphne comes in fitmesh for only three bodies.  I’m not sure how it will fit on Physique or the other two Belleza bodies, please try a demo!

There are 16 different textures available: ten in a lovely paisley pattern, and six in the beautiful leafy motif I’m showing you here.  You can see which is my favourite!  Say, that’s a bit cheeky….

Both palettes feature the gold lacey midriff section.  That part has transparency, so you must make sure that the demo works without using body alpha zones!

There’s always something lovely at We Love Role Play, and the anchor stores (such as The Muses) feature some really wonderful items.  Make sure you take a good look around!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Happy Birthday, Second Life!

blue Events, LotD

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, Second Life turns 15 this month!  Happy Birthday!

I made it into the shopping areas today, and here’s an outfit assembled from some of the FREE gifts various creators have on offer.

Firstly, the simple striped summer mini is from Ison and comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, and Isis, and includes a three color HUD to let you retexture (the other colors are a solid vivid red, and a pretty green floral pattern).

These sandals are by YS&YS, and there are versions for Lara, Slink, and Belleza feet in the package.  The texturing is really nice!

This charm bracelet is by Lapointe & Bastchild.  It has an amazing HUD with all twelve signs of the Zodiac in gold and silver, along with the twelve classic birthstones.  And if that’s not enough, there are six color selections for the stone beads!

Lastly this dog tag style necklace by Petit Chat comes in male and female versions and also has a HUD to let you select one of four colors for the metal.  What a wonderful selection of freebies by some super generous creators!

Blooming

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Have you been to Midsummer Enchantment yet?  Kerryth from Spyralle has a magical headpiece and collar just waiting to frame your beautiful face!

The collar has a lovely vine closure detail in the front which serves as a beautiful necklace/choker for you.  The texture HUD changes both items together, although if you wanted different colours you could wear and set them separately.

I don’t normally wear reds and pinks, they don’t tend to work well with my colouring… but this Windflower shade just worked too well with Spyralle‘s earlier Sylvia release, and I couldn’t resist dancing.

The Sun Flower / Wind Flower / Moon Flower headpieces are a lovely accent to a beautiful gown or the perfect accompaniment for your garden fae.  Stop by Midsummer Enchantment before this bloom disappears!  The faire is full of other wonderful goodies, many with a darke/gothic flavour…. and many treasures just awaiting your discovery.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
