Look of the day

Spoiled

blue LotD

This little dress was a gift on Monthly Midnight Madness.  If you don’t belong to this group you’re missing out on some wonderful giveaways each month!  But really, I wore it to show off the gorgeous new jewelry that my darling Aeon got me for my rezday recently!  She spoils me terribly 🙂

The dress is in fitmesh sizes for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique.  There was an a texture HUD available for it too, but I didn’t bother buying it.

Aeon gave me a gift card to Chop Zuey for my rezday.  She’s so wonderful!  Chop Zuey is one of the largest jewelry makers in SL, and their range is awesome.  I spent days looking for something that would be suitable for both casual and formal wear, and I had settled on a tennis necklace in diamond and platinum.  I went to buy it and the store uses one of the gift card systems where you have to rez out the card, and that transfers the amount to store credit.  So I had to go home to rez the card, and as I was coming back, I noticed this set that I’d missed in my days of agonizing.  I changed my mind in about 20 seconds 🙂

It’s a really lovely set, again in diamond and platinum, consisting of the choker, left and right bracelets, and earrings.  There are two other version available, one in diamond and gold, and one in black diamond and gold.  And to top it all off, this was a set designed for Layka Zelin when she was Miss Venezuela Virtual in 2014!  Wow!

Here’s a closeup of the bracelet.  One minor issue is that the bracelets and the choker are all attached to weird places.  Don’t just add these, attach the bracelets to your left and right hands and the choker to your neck.  You’ll then need to edit them to place them correctly.  The bracelets can be a little tricky figuring out which way is the right way up, so perhaps wear them right out of the box first so you know how they should look.

Also be aware that detailed jewelry like this is very expensive when it comes to avatar rendering complexity.  The choker alone is approximately an additional 62,100 rendering cost!

Hi lovelies!  Today I’m sporting a cute little layered hanky dress!

I’ve been a little slow getting to some of the new outfits that I have to show you and I can’t remember how I came across this one.  I think it was an MM board giftie.  It’s for Maitreya Lara only.

I’m also wearing a necklace that I got at the BoHo fair last year (you see how slow I can be?!?)  It’s really quite nice although it has a scripting issue and won’t resize in 1% increments.  I did manage to get it close though!

And my hairstyle is a gift from this year’s Hair Fair.  I hope you managed to get there and found yourself a bunch of new hairstyles!

Aloha kākou!  Greetings from the Islands, sending you all my love from home!  Prism Design has the perfect swimwear for me, a lovely tropical-print boy shorts ‘kini for a group gift!  

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

Eeek, I may have stayed out in the sun too long!  Sounds like time for a nice tropical drink in the shade, sit back and relax and let the world go by.   I wish you all a wonderful day filled with aloha.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A night out

Aeon LotD

Happy Friday, everyone!  I found this lovely minidress,Diamonds Take You Higher,  from Precious Designs, and it seemed perfect for hitting the clubs!

Diamonds features a lovely texture-change HUD with several lovely colour options. I do love the purple!

Whether you’re going out on the night, enjoying a quiet night in, or even if you’re still hard at work — I wish you a wonderful aloha Friday.  Love and hugs and kisses, my lovely friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

“I think you have your dress caught in your garter belt!” Aeon said when she saw this dress 🙂

This is a clever mix of fitmesh and applier clothing, specific to Maitreya Lara.  There is not even an Omega applier for the stockings!  It was an MM prize at Ko-H, and I expect it will be available again on their board as they tend to cycle through a number of items.  Visit the store and have a look!

My hairstyle is by Alice Project, and at the time of writing is still available on their MM board if you want to slap it 🙂  It comes with an essentials HUD with a nice color selection, although the red is not my favorite.

Here comes trouble.

I should have known that when Andrea and I went looking for a place for a few drinks and some dancing, we could only end up in one place —

  • Addams — Kendall Loose shirt (#25)
  • Addams — Ornella High Rise Jeans (#23)
  • DeVicious — Glow Boots (black)  (sadly, DeVicious is no longer available either in-world or on Marketplace)
  • an lar [poses] — Tara Mini Series – Three pose

Andrea just recently upgraded to a mesh body (Maitreya Lara) and a new skin (WoW Skins  2016 Irene Bronze CL), and I think she just looks fabulous.  Plus…  it’s a whole new world of shopping up for her!  Addams has a host of lovely mesh clothing items to fill your wardrobe, with lots of fitmesh to fit any mesh body.

Summer is a great time to turn over a new leaf, to get a new start.  Well, frankly, anytime is a good time to take a new start!  Now, how about that dance?

So much mahalo to Andrea for agreeing to pose for my camera!

Aloha!  A hui hou!

Lies White Lingerie

blue LotD

Well done applier lingerie!  I’m spoiled with fitmesh lingerie, but sometimes a creator comes out with effective looking lace in appliers, and Lies have managed it in this case!

My perspective editing in Gimp could be better, but it’s better than a blank mirror, don’t you think?

There are system layers for the bra, panties, stockings and garter, and a Maitreya applier for them too.

My hairstyle is a gift at Hair Fair, which goes through until July 16th.  You still have a few days to go and grab the gifts and get some new wonderful styles.  Don’t forget to grab a bandanna there too to help support Wigs For Kids!

Bird of Paradise

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my dear friends!  I can’t decide whether Eclectic Stars‘ Bird of Paradise print for the Buffy dress is boho or roaring 20s, so perhaps it is a little of each?  I’ll definitely be wearing it both ways!

Buffy is available in all your favourite fitmesh bodies: all three Belleza, both SLink, and Maitreya.

I couldn’t help but shoot it in one of my favourite sims for that era, Chicago 1920’s.  There’s an awful lot to explore, but it is a RP sim, so please come in era-appropriate attire!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Morissette

More pink?  At least it’s pastel and not hot pink 🙂  This is another hunt item from WOH3 (yes, I’m still opening them!)  I chose a free gift from Hair Fair 2017 to go with this.

And yes!  Hair Fair is on!  Hair Fair is one of my favourite events of the year.  It’s for a great cause, and a percentage of all sales goes to Wigs For Kids, which is a very deserving charity.  Run and have a look around, get the gifties and at least a couple of bandannas and show your support!  It sure makes me feel good about the Second Life community as a whole when I read letters like this!

This dress comes in sizes for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, TMP, and a one-size-fits-all fitmesh for classic bodies.  The detailing around the panels is really well done, and you can see from the picture above it’s not just texture!

My hairstyle is from Astrology, a new designer to me.  They have a really awesome HUD system that lets you pick 20 colors from their full range, but you only get to do it once, so you have to pick carefully.  This is a great idea, as most designers do HUDs in blonde, red, brunette, etc.  With Astrology’s system, you can pick from all of them and get a mix of colors perfectly suited to you, all in one HUD!

Additionally, to my surprise, this hairstyle was modify, which means you can tint it too.  So if you are wise in your HUD color choices, you can do nearly any color you like!

Here’s a unique little bustier from ViSion.  It’s their group gift for July.  The ViSion group is FREE to join, so run and get yours!

The floral front is very pretty and the little metal studs around the top are fun (and they come with a HUD that lets your set the metal color or hide them too).  The back is done with bold straps in a pleasing diamond pattern.  Sizes include Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Hourglass, and Physique.
