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.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Emma

blue LotD

I’ve been wanting to photograph our friend Emma “Ems for short” for ages and I finally got her!  She’s a great individual and a bundle of energy, either at a party or organizing one of her things in-world.  She has done a lot of work for the LGBT community, helping to set up a place called Rainbow Rhapsody with the owner, and attracting stores to the sim.  She’s tireless and always positive, and great fun to be around!

Her clothing style is generally urban, so we shot these at a great little sim I know.  It’s changed in places since I first found it, but some parts of the sim continue to have that nice grungy urban feel.

Ems’ tatts are custom jobs representing her experiences in SL, so while I’m listing the creator below, don’t expect to find this set of ink in the store!

Here’s a group gift from a new store to me: Resun Fashion.

The skirt and top are separates, which makes a nice change from your standard mesh dress 🙂  Sizes for both pieces include fitmesh for classic, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Physique, and TMP.

You might notice that over the last couple of posts, I’ve been wearing this ombre hair tint.  It’s part of the set of hair colors that come with this fantastic hairstyle; for one low price you get 8 colors, 8 shadow roots in the same colors, and 8 ombres.  Super nice!

Another pretty little dress from the April Showers Hunt to show you today.  This hunt runs until the end of the month, so you have plenty of time to find the prizes!

This little sundress comes in standard sizes plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Physique, Hourglass, TMP, and both Tonic and eBody Curvy and Fine.

 

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Silvan Moon Design’s Moonstone

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The 2018 Fantasy Faire is here, and there are SOOO many goodies to share with you over the next week! Let’s start with this beautiful one from Silvan Moon Designs!  Moonstone may be my favourite gown out of SMD in quite a while — and that’s saying something!

Moonstone comes in three pieces – skirt, top/overskirt, and sleeves.  The mesh and texturing on each is lovely.

So, I feel kind of bad that I didn’t shoot the other amazing colours for this post, but you’ll just have to stop by Fantasy Faire 2018 and take a look for yourself.  Bee and Solas have a whole LOT of beautiful goodies for you at the Faire, and I’ll show you a few more over the next week.  But don’t dawdle — the Faire won’t last forever.  Ten short days, and it will be but a memory.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Winter flashback

blue LotD

It may be Spring in SL, but in my part of the world it’s Autumn, so perhaps I can be forgiven for this Winter flashback 🙂

The jacket and top are one piece.  They come in fitmesh sizes for classic avis, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, TMP, Curvy, Fine, Hourglass, Physique, Ocacin Venus, Isis, Freya, and eBody.  The leggings come in black or brown, and in the same sizes.  The boots are also included in sizes for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, and TMP.

My hairstyle and knit cap are all one piece (which is the best way to do hats in SL).

  • Top/jacket, tights, boots: Jacket Chilly – Purple Black Plaid; Leggings Dee Dark; Boots Stuff Plaid by EccentriciXi
  • Body: Lara by Maitreya
  • Face: Jennifer by GA.EG
  • Hands and feet: Slink
  • Hair and cap: Knit cap with twintails hair by Redlic

Little black opalescence

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Hello, all!  Every girl needs her little black dress (or two, or three, or…) and a little iridescence is just perfect for this girl.  Little Black Dress is taking part in the Grow Your Awareness hunt to raise awareness for Autism Spectrum Disorder, and has two fabulous little gifties hidden in the store.  One is Opal, the fabulous minidress shown here. 

  • Little Black Dress — Opal minidress  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Belleza Freya/Venus/Isis/ Tonic Fine/Curvy/TMP/Ocacin/classic rigged mesh)
  • EarthStones — Feuilles necklace and earrings
  • Bootgasm — Vail Winter Boot (black)
  • an lar [poses] — The Jupiter Series – Three (m) pose

Let’s make it abundantly clear: Autism Spectrum Disorder needs medical attention, and NO, there is ZERO evidence that vaccinations have anything to do with it.  Don’t be stupid, get vaccinated, and get your kids vaccinated.  While some people have been wasting time and resources on ridiculous conspiracy theories that have been repeatedly disproven, the real scientists are out there working to find out what does lead to autism.  Please help contribute to that research today.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Oubliette and Petite Mort are hosting a hunt, and you’re invited!  The beautiful Witchwood sim features the 10L Enchanted Spring Treasure Hunt for the month of April, and there are 10 beautiful goodies scattered around the grounds and two more for the group members hiding in the Oubliette and Petite Mort stores!  My favourite finds are the gorgeous Moon Child tank and the very starry Velvet Skirt!

  • Oubliette  — Moon Child tank ( Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Venus/Isis/Freya), hunt gift for the April 2018 Enchanted Spring hunt at Witchwood
  • Oubliette  — Velvet Skirt (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Venus/Isis/Freya), hunt gift for the April 2018 Enchanted Spring hunt at Witchwood
  • EarthStones —   Bewitching earrings
  • EarthStones —   Signature Stones bracelet
  • !!smesh — Star choker and ankle bracelets
  • an lar [poses] — The Assemble Series — Ten pose

So I’ve been really excited about a new hair find.  I’ve heard a bit of feedback from some of the places that I blog for (and some that I used to blog for) that my flexi hair is sooooo years-ago — that it’s so dated.  It’s a bit frustrating, as finding curly hair in all-mesh is very difficult.  It’s true that taking good pics of flexi hair is a challenge due to lighting and focusing issues, but it’s hard to pretend to be straight when you’re not!

So that said, I was very excited to find Athena at Truth Hair.  It’s a very close match for my go-to in-world hair, Analog Dog’s Annie.  Athena a VIP gift from Truth, so you’ll have to join the group to purchase it, but it’s quite the find.  It features a styling hud that allows you to add/remove whispeys (or as my friend’s daughter calls them, “Einsteins”).   You can even braid back the right-hand side… which is just right for an asymmetric statement.  🙂

The hunt isn’t too difficult, although knowledge of the sim will help — and the goodies are well worth the 100L that you’ll spend in acquiring them!  Stop by Witchwood and explore the beautiful sim that Melora and her crew have put together.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
