When I saw the name of the fabulous dress from Maitreya that was one of seven Advent gifts for their customers, I went “steak? what?!?” But of course, “filet” is the steak part, and the translation of “mignon” is “small and pretty; dainty”, which I find a very pleasing name for this dress!
Unsurprisingly, as this dress is made by Maitreya, the only size is fitmesh for Lara.
The matching shoes were also one of the seven gifts from Maitreya. The texturing is fantastic!
This is the Entice Advent Calendar gift for Day 24!
The top and the skirt are separates. Fitmesh sizes include Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Isis, Freya, and Venus. There are also two different versions, the normal one I’m wearing here, and a version where the colours are dirtied up. Both are very nicely done. Entice has certainly been nice to their customers this Advent!
The top suffers from a tiny bit of clipping at the lower strap while dancing but is fine for walking around in, although you better not wear it at a G-rated sim 🙂
Hiding in my inventory I found this lovely sheer gold catsuit. I’d tried it on before when I originally found it, but it wasn’t so impressive over my normal skin. So, searching for inspiration, let’s wear it on my leopardess!
The catsuit is available as system layers and also comes with appliers for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, Omega, and TMP.
The leopard avi is from Catseye, and comes with a really nicely detailed skin for both male and female avis including Omega skin appliers. It also comes with shapes for both genders, and a curvy “Catty” female shape, plus the ears and tail to complete the look. The sheer gold catsuit looks great against the dark skin. Reow!

You know, the rule about pink and redheads? Well, this slinky little dress is only in this candy pink, and as you may have noticed, I so love my hairstyle at the moment I don’t want to change, so let’s just see if we can get it to work!
This dress comes in sizes for Isis, Freya, Venus, Lara, Hourglass, and Physique, and is a group gift from Salt. The group is FREE to join and there are also other past group gifts available. The dress is fully materials enabled and glitters as it catches the light.
The dress works best in poses that are not too drastic as it’s very difficult to get alpha cuts that work well with it on Lara. So while it’s certainly modeled on a great little clubbing dress, it may not work really well dancing unless you can put up with some level of mesh breakthrough (although I did run it through my dances at home as it works, your mileage may vary).
And oh, this is the second lightest auburn for my hair and in normal lighting the dress tends to look much more silvery than you see it here 🙂
Today I’m showing you a beautiful Christmassy blouse from Moonstar’s Advent Calendar!
It comes in classic mesh sizes plus fitmesh for classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Osasin, eBody, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, Fine, and TMP! While the fit is great on Lara, the really long cuffs on the sleeves have some clipping issues with Slink hands, so I’ve retouched the pics a little 🙂
I also finally get a chance to show off my Christmas present to myself, these absolutely fantastic corset laced jeans from L&B Swear! I saw them on a blog I follow and they instantly became a must-buy, and as it’s Christmas time, I got them for myself. They come in a one-size-fits-all for classic, and specific fitmesh for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Venus, Isis, and Freya.
They have a massive texturing HUD with 14 denims ranging from light stone wash though dry and blacks, plus a bonus black leather version! You can change the metal rivets, button, and grommets to five different metals, and there are 26 different colors for the corset lacing! Very versatile! They are not cheap at L$699, but they are are fantastic jeans, and I’m a sucker for corset lacing 🙂
I make it a point not to re-blog old items, but sometimes you have to. I first blogged the Snowmoon Silk Roadtunic and pants from Spyralle almost two years ago — just a few weeks shy of two years. Do you want a good laugh? Go back and take a look at that post!
There’s a good reason to come back to the Silk Road tunic — Kerryth has created Eagle of the Snows, a new headdressb designed to complement Snowmoon, and it’s available only at Genre!
Spyralle — Eagle of the Snows Headdress, exclusive for Genre!
Spyralle — Silk Road II Tunic (Snow Moon) and Trousers (Midnight)
Eagle of the Snows has a number of wonderful options! There is a removable mask-like portion (shown attached above, and removed, below). There is also a texture HUD that allows three different pattern choices for the front and side gems.
The War Lance from Dragonsfyrewas just what I needed to complete the ensemble. It’s very nicely done, my only problem was that while resizeable, the minimum size was too big for a “normal” sized avatar (that is, my height of just under 2 m tall). No problems, I was able to edit -> edit linked and resize the staff and adjust the feathers just right!
Okay, now for the bad news. This is the last time for Genre! Spyralle has been a part of Genre for a very long time, and Eagle of the Snows is a bit of a good-bye to this wonderful event.
Baby Monkey have been running an Advent Calendar, but it hasn’t been advertised much outside the group, which is a shame as it’s open to everyone with no group required!
The dress and boots are from this year’s calendar, and the tights are from a couple of years ago. Firstly, the dress is in fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine. There are no classic sizes. It comes with a three color HUD too.
The boots and socks are one item, and are non-rigged/no modify with a resize script. They also come with a HUD that allows you to select the color of the boots and socks independently from three different colors.
A great little outfit for tramping though the snowy landscape!
Winter Splendour comes in your choice of eight fabulous colours, some subtle (such as Ice, shown) and some bright and strong. These are beautiful, and well suited for the Winter Dance!
I have a favourite set of earrings and necklace from EarthStones, the beautiful Twinkling Lights set, but it wouldn’t do for this. Fortunately, another trip to EarthStones found the beautiful classy Snow Flurry set. They’ve a beautiful little hud for silver and gold metal textures.
Once again, Bee and Solace at Silvan Moon Designs create a beautiful gown perfect for the season! The Trunk Show is open now, so stop by and pick up the demo today, and find your own winter spirit!
This nice knit dress is only available in standard sized fits, hence there are a couple of tiny clipping issues with Lara. As it’s not fitmesh, a couple of tiny tweaks to your shape may be required. But the texturing nearly makes up for any issues! It looks really nice, just the thing for a winter’s day!
