Look of the day

Kylie

Via one of my news feeds, I found a new store – Safira.  Their group is FREE to join, and there are a number of past group gifts available, including this wonderful one piece swimsuit!

The swimsuit comes in sizes for Lara, Isis, Freya, and Hourglass.  It also comes with a HUD with 16 colors for the suit, 10 plains and 6 patterns, including this marvelous floral light green, which I instantly fell in love with.  The same 16 colors can also be applied to the stripes down the side of the suit.

The back is a little cheeky, but that contrasts nicely with the crossed wide straps.  I’ve mentioned before I really like one pieces, and this one is a great addition to my collection!

Fairy bra

blue LotD

I was going through gifts from Cosmopolitan’s 6th anniversary event, and I opened this, and giggled, just knowing I was going to have to do anything it took to photograph it for you.  So, blonde it is…

This bra is a work of art in all types of ways!  The modeling is superb, and it’s such a fun look, it had me chuckling the entire time I was wearing it.  The texturing is excellent, and the attention to detail with the fittings and metal work is nothing less than astounding.  I wish I was this good at modeling and texturing!

The bra comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, and Hourglass.  It has a HUD for the front laces with 50 (50!) color selections, and three color selections for the metal fittings.  You can also switch materials on and off with the HUD.

You know me, I’m a sucker for corset laced things, so I couldn’t help pairing the bra with my corset laced jeans.  What a fun look!

Here’s a group gift from Kamiri from back in February, but it’s still available in-store.  Kamiri is FREE to join.

The top and skirt are separates, and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, amd TMP.

Kamiri was one of my first “go to” groups for nice group gifts, but back then, they mostly did standard sized mesh and applier clothing.  I’m really happy to see they are now doing fitmesh!

This sophisticated asymmetrical dress is a past group gift from Queenz.  Their group is FREE to join.

The dress comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Ebody curvy, and Katena regular.  It also has a HUD with ten colors.

I really like this dark red.  It’s rare that I get to wear red, but when it’s this dark, yay, I have no problems breaking the rules 🙂

Cosmopolitan

blue LotD

Cosmopolitan‘s 6th anniversary is on at the moment.  There are a ton of free gifts for everyone.  You just need to wear the group’s FREE tag to snag them all!  The event runs though until the 26th of July, so there is plenty of time to go and check it out.

This cute bikini comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.

The tie details and the sides and back are great touches!

Risque

This sexy little chemise and pantie set is a group gift from Queenz.  Their group if FREE to join, and there are a few previous group gifts available.

The top and panties are separates and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.  There are also three versions, this white, and red one with black lace, and a black version.

The white lace is whiter than it looks in my photos due to my lighting.  You can see the same effect on the lace curtains behind me.  I don’t know how to correct this unless you use a really white windlight.  Perhaps a more experienced SL photographer can chime in and let me know?

Pink and blue

One of my fav mesh lingerie creators in SL is MAAI.  They are not very prolific, but what they turn out is quality every time.

This fab bra and pantie set is their current group gift.  Their group is FREE to join.  The bra and panties are separates too, which is always nice 🙂

MAAI makes original mesh exclusively for Maitreya Lara.  So, if you have the bod, I highly recommend you check them out!

A’a i ka hula!

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Happy Aloha Friday, my friends!  I get to share a beautiful new ti pa’u with you, a traditional hula skirt made from ti leaves.  It’s all in mesh from Island Style Designs!  Leave the grass skirts behind, and please please please let’s not talk about the abomination of coconut bras.  (although you may want to see the note on coconut bras at the end of this older post).   

  • Island Style Designs — Hula Girl mesh hula outfit (Maitreya/Physique fitmesh/standard 5 rigged mesh sizes) (includes mesh ti skirt, white top, hibiscus haku lei with ferns, kukui necklace, plumeria lei, and hibiscus flowers for your ear — all of the items that you see here except for the kupe’e and kakau, the anklets/bracelets and tattoo!)
  • ::*) Charmed (*:: —  plumeria kupe’e (anklet and bracelet) (from Ti-Leaf skirt, 30cm, Pearl)
  • Juna Artistic Tattoo — Haka tattoo woman
  • BellePoses — Hula Baby 6 (mirror) pose (marketplace link) exclusive for the The Avenue

And yes, I know that the haka is Maori in origin, but the tattoo has many common themes across Polynesia… besides, I  like it.

Also, that lovely traditional canoe behind me?  It’s a wa’a kaukahi, a single-hulled canoe with an outrigger.  This lovely one came from Tiki Tattoo, purveyor of lovely island decor.  This is a really lovely piece, and was a gift to me from a dear friend.

This is such a lovely hula outfit.  Nickki at Island Style Designs has really outdone herself!  You’ll definitely see me in this at summer dance events.

A’a i ka hula, waiho i ka maka’u i ka hale!  Dare to dance, leave your shame at home!

Aloha kākou, my friends!  A hui hou!

Mood

blue LotD

As I mentioned, Blueberry gave away L$500 store credit at SLB15!  This is the other outfit I purchased with mine.  I must have been in the mood for things in cream that day 🙂

I’m a bit of a sucker for one piece swimsuits, I think they can be even more sexy than bikinis.  Sometimes it’s not so much what you reveal, but more about what you conceal.

This laced swimsuit comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Isis, Venus, Freya.  It has a 25 color HUD for for the straps and laces.  Each base color is L$199, and there a lots of colors to choose from.

As usual with Blueberry items, the fit and detailing is superb.  Look at the inbuilt wrinkles in the fabric and such.  If you zoom in close enough, you will even notice stitching on all the seams.  Fantastic realism in clothing, yay!
