TRIANGULATE! TRIANGULATE!

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Newness for your inner geek!  Let your nerdiness take over the ‘verse!  Jadziyah at Eclectic Stars has some sweet mesh leggings for you!  They’re maybe not the warmest for the winter, those are triangular cutouts!  They’re fun and just a little cheeky.

Who wouldn’t want to be warm and snuggly in a hoodie like this?  8-bit graphics and a zipper down just so. Perfect for a tease of a t-shirt underneath… or just a little skin.  Or even better, a pendant that that Daleks would surely love to get their hands on — a lovely little treat from the Harambee Gwassi-Kenya Charity Shop, complete with matching earrings.

The leggings are available in a host of fun patterns — stop by Eclectic Stars and check them all out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Here’s some old tech for you that still holds up surprisingly well.

Before the explosion of fitmesh probably about 18 months ago, one of the better ways of doing a dress was with a mesh panel to provide the illusion of a dress either over system layers, or in this case, appliers.  I’ve never really liked the look of the panels because as they are rigged you can’t adjust them, and if the designer doesn’t get them just right, they can look terrible.

Then again, when the designer does a good job as is the case here, and adds some flexi prim skirts too, you can end up with a great effect.  The detail on the applier top is just fantastic in this case, and the mesh panel joins are mostly hidden (or you are distracted from seeing them) by the flexi skirts.

Some simple sandals and my fav long hair completes the look.  Simple, effective, great!

Black widow

blue LotD

This little outfit was from last year’s Boho Fair.

There are a whole bunch of fits in the box, including standard sizes for the top and skirt, fitmesh for Maitreya and Slink, and multiple sizes for the tie, all unrigged for easy resizing and positioning.

The matching shoes for Slink High are also included.

Shimmering like snow

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha kakou!  It has been a busy holiday season and I’ve been too long away — visiting family and then a research conference and the start of the term kept me awfully busy.

But I’m back to show you a lovely reissued gown from Spyralle.  Chione was a daily advent gifty back in December, and features a flexi skirt and new omega appliers!  Long time readers know how much I like a flexi skirt for dancing.  They just look so much better than long mesh!

I think that I have showed off the Twinkling Lights jewelry — earrings, bracelet, anklet, and necklace (not shown) — in an earlier post.  I’ll admit I wear them every chance I can get in this snowy season!

I hope that you had a wonderful season.  I know some of us will be happier for the end of cold and snow (I will be for the sake of getting to run outside again!) but I still love cuddling up in front of a warm fire while it’s snowy outside — or taking a nice walk in a snowstorm with that someone special.

Mahalo to Kerryth at Spyralle for a great holiday season, and for updating so many outfits with Omega appliers.  I’ll surely be showing you some more from there!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Ice Flower

blue LotD

This is a gown from The White Amory that’s been languishing in my unopened folder from two Christmases ago!

The gown itself is standard size mesh, and the prim and mesh attachments are unscripted (if you want them smaller than they are here, you’ll have to sharpen your building skills!)

Boulle

blue LotD

This is fitmesh for Lara, but while my shape is a standard small in classic mesh sizes, I have a few little breakthrough problems with it, which I’m sure I could fix with a few tweaks.  It also comes in standard sizing, and probably a few other fitmesh sizes that I’ve already deleted.

It also comes with a great three texture HUD.  I particularly like this texture but there is a really nice black and white leaf texture too 🙂

Camille

blue LotD

Look what I found hiding in my unopened folder!  If you haven’t figured it out by now, my unopened folders are the messiest part of my inventory.  I regularly go through them trying to clean up the mess by opening things and filing them away, or discarding them.  Life as a blogger lol.

This great looking little belted dress comes in standard mesh sizes and the small fits me perfectly 🙂

Gothic accents

blue LotD

It’s rare I’ve done anything goth related.  I don’t really see myself that way, however, being SL, if you spend enough time here you’ll end up with enough inventory to do literally any style you want.

So I gathered together some goth related items for you today.  And of course I have to go raven haired, light skinned, and put on some black makeup for this!

The skin was a hunt item if I remember correctly, and the lace mask is built right in.

The nails are for Maitreya hands only (they do not work on Slink).  They have a HUD to let you adjust the background color, and set the metal details to either silver or gold.  And the necklace is just a nice piece that would also sit well against a medieval outfit.

ALB Corset Gown

blue LotD

ALB usually makes nice clothing, and this is no exception.  I must say though that I’d be horribly confused as a newbie if I was confronted with the sheer number of items in the contents of this package that was ALB’s hunt item for PoE9.  (And yes, now it’s over, this will be my last PoE post until next Christmas).

It looks lovely.  The texturing particularly on the gown is very nice with the gauze and feathers.

There are 47 pieces of clothing in this package.  There is fitmesh for classic avis, specific fitmesh top and pants for a slew of mesh bodies, fitmesh gloves, sculpts for the fur, and strangely system layer pants and Slink and Maitreya appliers for the same.

Now, I know we love fitmesh, but pants?  This is a gown, surely leave out the 14 different versions of the pants?  And Slink and Maitreya appliers but no Omega?

OK so I figured out what to put on.  I got to the fur trim for the gloves, which are sculpties.  I’m always wary of fur bits anyway, but I put these on and they just looked… weird.  There were these cones running up my arms and clipping my skin… oh do I need to resize to get the cones to go inside my arms?  No, then they poke out the back of my elbows?  What?  I played around for about 5 minutes before I figured out they were 180 degrees rotated.  The cone needed to point down my arms.  A newbie would surely have given up!
