Wind and water

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy Aloha Friday my lovely friends!  Are you ready for some Sun?  You know what, I think I’ll let the pictures tell the story….

The Izzy fatpack features a choice of 16 colours plus an additional 10 patterns, each component (kini bottoms, top, and tie cord) are individually selectable.  Top and bottoms are separate pieces, so you can mix and match.

Happy Aloha Friday, all!   Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Hope in the darkness

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

There is nothing so magical as a walk through misty woods in faerielight…. the line between worlds seems to grow as hazy as the air, and the fae are close.   Just feel it… don’t fret about the future or the past, what has been done or what must yet be accomplished.  Just feel.

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have a lovely gown for the June We Love Role Play.  Born of Hope is a two-piece fitmesh gown in six lovely light shades.

I really love this jewelry set that Blue gave me a while back — I just don’t get enough opportunity to wear it.  The delicate butterfly and pearls works so very well with the sweetness of Born of Hope!

I really love the We Love Role Play event.  It’s a lovely showcase of some beautiful fanciful outfits and accessories, and Silvan Moon Designs really has become a wonderful staple of the show.  Stop on by and spend an hour or two looking around!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Falling into Wonderland

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

It’s time for a little Enchantment, and Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Iracebeth of Crims, a beautiful new fitmesh gown modeled after the Red Queen in celebration of Enchantment‘s theme — Through the Looking Glass.  Yes, yes, you can get it in red – but look at the other pretty colours first!

Mad mad props to Astralia, who created this wonderful Alice-inspired set of scenes on their sim!

The gown and jacket can be worn separately, but work so very well together that I have a hard time imagining wearing them independently.  As always, Solas’ fitmesh is perfect, and Bee’s texturing is just exquisite.

It’s your move.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

It’s all been done

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

So, maybe it has all been done.

Sooooo it’s the curse of blogging, you’ve got a product out there and someone beats you to it.  Well, fooey, and I really liked that, too!  So, what do you do?  You take your own pics and show it the way you want to, that’s what.  🙂

Alaska Metro <3 is hosting a little mini-hunt, the Wardrobe Staples hunt with ten gifts: three at the Alaska Metro <3 main store, and seven at Free Dove.

Here are two of them that I just adored, the Long Tank and the Moto Leggings.

Each of the items in the hunt features a HUD with a couple texture choices.  The Moto Leggings and Long Tank each have three lovely choices to mix and match.  I really love the mesh on these, the leggings are very nicely detailed!

Oooh oooh and also?  This is the first time I’ve featured the Hatsune hair from *ARGRACE*.  I really have fallen in love with the *ARGRACE*.  In addition to a texture with a few choices for the headband (or whatever hair-related accessories a particular hairdo comes with), most of their styles feature a styling hud.  These allow you to add wisps or, in the case of Hatsune, a lovely braid across the forehead.

 

Stop by Alaska Metro <3 and Free Dove, the hunt is free and easy enough, and the goodies are lovely.  And above all, happy Aloha Friday my friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Angelic

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Let me share a fabulous little treasure with you today.  A dear friend gave me a wonderful gift recently — the lovely Angelic dress from Blueberry

Angelic is a beautiful little mini with gorgeous little wing detail on the rear shoulder straps, and comes in fitmesh for most of your mesh body choices!

Like most of the treasures at Blueberry, Angelic is available in a wealth of colours and patterns.  The Fatpack features a HUD with a few extra choices – solid colours with a flower texture.

Blueberry  has long been one of my favourites for women’s clothing in SL.  It seems they always have something new to entice me!

Now… as a little side note… spare a thought for angels… for new lives, new births, new wings learning to fly.  With all the fear and uncertainty and stress in this world, there’s always new life to find, and new ones to celebrate.  So, to the one for whom it counts, Hau`oli Lā Hānau, Happy Birthday, special one, you are treasured beyond words.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Spyralle’s Ageless Clock

Aeon Events, Gadgets, Reviews, Sponsored

One last treasure for the 2018 Fantasy Faire before it ends this weekend: the Ageless Clock from Spyralle.

As Kerryth writes:

This intriguing machine keeps time according to a system no longer known. An intricate gear mechanism turns, and at intervals a hidden bell sounds and an image takes form on the front of the object and then fades away. After a cycle of four bells and four different images, the cycle starts over again. Meanwhile, a light pulses. Is it a signal? Is it a message? No one knows.

The Ageless Clock is defaults to a large size and 7LI, but it’s resizable.  It shrinks down to a 4LI tabletop version seen below, perfectly at home on a mantlepiece or lost amidst the clutter of your laboratory.

Fantasy Faire is slipping into its final few days: the faire closes on Sunday, April 29.  If you haven’t been, you really owe it to yourself to visit — I don’t know how the creators build such a marvelous set of sims for only ten days.  And what should be foremost, it’s a wonderful opportunity to support Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.

Please stop on by Spyralle at the Fantasy Faire, and support the cause!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Silvan Moon Designs’ Windsor Palace

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

So, first let me apologise: I had taken pics for two of Silvan Moon Designs‘ Fantasy Faire gowns several weeks apart (yes, I got advanced copies for blogging) and had no idea that I’d used the same hair and jewelry for each.  I really hate doing that, particularly for posts that are within a few days of each other.  That said, I loved how they worked for each gown, and I certainly wasn’t going to go back and re-shoot with something that worked less well!

That said, Solas and Bee present the Windsor Palace Gown for the Fantasy Faire 2018.  And where else should we take pics?  Why in Buckingham Palace, of course!

A word about the lovely Leah jewelry set from *AvaWay*.  The full set includes bracelets as well (not worn in this outfit) and an incredible texture-change hud that allows you five choices of metal colour and eight choices of gem colour, as well as the ability to change the texture of half of the gems independently of the other half.   It’s lacey teardrop motif is a perfect match to Windsor Palace.

Time is running out for Fantasy Faire 2018.  Put the party on hold for a little bit, anything that can wait should — the sims are beautiful and the goodies are amazing.

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Spyralle’s Timeless Folly

Aeon Events, Reviews, Sponsored

Some big things are afoot at Fantasy Faire 2018, including a beautiful little architectural marvel by Spyralle.  Fans of Spyralle will know that Kerryth creates not only dresses and jewelry but other knick-knacks and decorations as well.  She’s created two lovely pieces for the Fantasy Faire, the first of which I’m showing you this morning.

I really love the little accents that make this a Spyralle special.  The most obvious is the fractal-decorated glass vaulted ceiling.  If you have full lighting effects on (shadows, in particular), that ceiling makes a gorgeous shadow below.

Timeless Folly has a beautiful sense of grandeur and scale…. with lovely little accents.   As rezzed, it has a default LI of 21.  Resizing will adjust LI accordingly, but be wary – adjusting the size back and forth can play silly games with LI and mesh — I had a small cute version at 4 LI, then resized to about half-default height — and ended up at 30!   That’s okay, it’s copy, so re-rez and start again!

Take a look at the Spyralle at the Fantasy Faire, and support the cause!

My outfit, from Caverna Obscura, was originally blogged here.
