Look of the day

Moon Dancer

Jaz Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Sometimes one needs to look outside the box to get an interesting look. As my followers know, I am fond of mixing and matching components: a top from here, a thong from over there… and soon you have a new, and unique, look that isn’t just bought off the store rack or MP listing.

In this brief entry today let me show you one such outfit. As is often the case for me the spark was one outfit, or more specifically parts of an outfit. Here it was Moon Dancer from May’s Soul, a gacha seller of fun and cute products. I bought most of the parts of Moon Dancer last year but it took some time to see how best to use it, as it was not fit mesh or Maitreya-sized though it can be resized. So I put on my thinking cap.

The Moon Dancer parts I had were a thong, wrist bracelets with little wings, and little shoulder wings. I knew I had a set of blue and white big wings to match, from Ramp’s Rosemary outfit. So I started pulling in more parts: a feather collar from The Forge, along with their Valkryie feathered headpiece. I wasn’t happy with the feathered boots I was finding, so I used another set of those same Valkyrie wings and adapted to my fave Gothic Lolita boots from Candy Kitten. Finally to tie it all together I tossed in the Baika outfit I highlighted last week, from r2 Fashion.

The result is a winged and feathered outfit that is now more than just what each of the parts were. So with a little creative thinking, you can extend the possibilities already in your inventory.

Qipao

blue LotD

Second Life always offers little learning experiences.  I never knew the formal name for a Cheongsam was “Qipao”.  I had to look it up and found this interesting article on Wikipedia.

The collar and closures are carefully modeled and look very authentic.

The dress comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, and Isis.

Here’s a marketplace steal for you, girls!

This lovely white bodysuit is available on the marketplace for L$25!  It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.

Being semi-sheer, you can’t wear any alphas with it, and it does suffer from some clipping in extreme poses, but it’s so cute (and so cheap!) that you should just run out and buy it anyway 🙂

In the jungle

blue LotD

Hello lovelies!  Today, let’s visit the jungle!

This loincloth styled outfit comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine.  It’s all one piece.

It comes with a pretty amazing HUD that has eight textures in muted and bright versions for a total of sixteen.  But if that’s not enough, it also has a color picker that lets you tint the outfit to your taste, and it has glow and alpha controls too.  I’m not so sure about the glow, but the alpha is great for making it semi-sheer.

The texturing is really nice too, with great use of materials to make the textures really pop.

Island visit

blue LotD

I was scouting locations for photographs and I come across this lovely Greek island town.  As well as the custom mesh that the creator has made for the houses, there’s a more touristy waterfront as well.  A really nice place to visit, and very photogenic too.

And what better than to wear in the heat of the day here than this backless floral romper!

The romper is August’s group gift from Powdermoon, and their group is FREE to join.

The romper comes in opaque and sheer versions in standard mesh sizes and fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine.  The sheer version is not too see-through, you can just see the outline of your body through it, and is the one I’m wearing in the photos.

Having said that, the back, other than being backless, is pretty cheeky 🙂

in the darkeness….

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

And no, I know “darkness” is spelled without an ‘e’, but I really love Angie Sage’s Magyk series, and the idea of darke that she describes.

So here’s a lovely little dress from Oubliette to share with you.  This was a VIP gift from the spring hunt — so I know, a long time back, but a pretty something to share with you.  Oubliette has plenty to help you explore your darke side.

I found this lovely hairstyle from Truth Hair.  Farryn is a lovely loose ponytail, and like all of Truth’s lovely mesh hairs, features a wonderful styling hud that allows you your choice of ponytail location, wisps, and bangs.

If you’re not a member of the Witchwood/Petite Mort/Oubliette group, you really should stop by the sim and join up.  There are regular hunts and other events taking place, and you sure don’t want to miss out again!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Burmudas

blue LotD

Look at these fantastic burmuda shorts!  I won them on an MM board recently, and as of this writing, they are still available on that board!  Grab some friends and register!

The shorts are available in fitmesh sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, Venus, and Isis.  They come with a wonderfully generous HUD that lets you change the denim texture (eight plains and three patterns), the belt (16 patterns), and the belt buckle (silver or gold).

They are absolutely perfect for walking down the beach.

Linen Ocean

Hello lovelies!  Here’s another gift from Redeux.

The babydoll/hankie styled top and panties are separates and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine.  The texturing is superb.

This is certainly a sexy little outfit to welcome your partner home in!

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!
