Dear Abby

Dear Abby – 

Today I decided to become dangerous.  I decided to be bold.  I decided to wear my pink like I meant it, framed in black lace.

And dear Abby, I am not asking you for advice.  I’ve got my own confidence, and you can stick it if you don’t like it.

Sincerely – 

Aeon

Lia

The Little Bat does some fine goth clothes.  Here’s one from the MM board yesterday.

The bustier, pants, and collar corset are all rigged mesh in standard sizes, and the collar corset comes with a HUD to allow you to change the spike and metal colors.

Can I just say that I have fallen in love with Petite Mort?  They’ve brought out a wonderful new little dress for latest round at Tres Chic, and it’s truly a bohemian gem!AcidBohemian_c001_002

  • Petite MortHenna slip dress (acid) (available at Tres Chic)
  • Caverna Obscura — Daisies Wreath

Stop on by Tres Chic soon, and stop by the Petite Mort main store today!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Forest

I’ve shown you this tank top before, but here’s a lovely new colour that I scored on the MM board at Rua Modena recently!

ribbed tank forest

The top comes as a system layer and has appliers for Maitreya, Slink, TMP, WowMeh, and Omega.  And the slouch collar really makes the look!

Mardi Gras

This is a little late for a Mardi Gras outfit, but Prism only just released it as a group gift, so you can blame them 🙂

lanai_001

This is in standard rigged mesh sizes, but they are a little strange.  I’m wearing the XXS here and well, let’s just say the top coverage is a little spare, especially if I try and wear this on Lara.  But it photographs nicely 🙂  Perhaps the designer thought “ah, automatic bead throwing from the balcony, no need to flash” lol.  I’m sure I could sort it out with a custom shape 🙂

The flexi prim skirts certainly turn a nice mesh gown into something I will certainly wear come next February.

Bend with the breeze

The latest from Silvan Moon Designs is the lovely Willow Spirit, an all-mesh dress evoking the art nouveau style.  Willow Spirit comes in five colours, so a bunch of pictures for you today!

Each colour comes with its own matching headband.

As with other Silvan Moon products, Willow Spirit comes in the standard five mesh sizes plust Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fitmesh!

It’s not news, perhaps, that a long mesh gown has something of a limited use to someone who really likes to dance.  But Willow Spirit just keeps growing on me, and I find myself wearing it just for fun.  This is one beautiful outfit that is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.  Keep up the good work, Silvan Moon!

Mahalo! A hui hou!


Layered

Aeon is the one for medieval themed costumes, but as we were at a photo shoot together the other day, I so admired the site that I had to get into the spirit of things.  So I rummaged in my closet and came up with this lovely layered gown.

The layered top and long dress are both rigged mesh in standard sizes, and was a hunt gift, unfortunately not available at the creator’s marketplace store.

I particularly like the buttoned detail at the back.

Something new

Okay, that’s a silly title, perhaps, for a blog that spends so much time on new fashion in SL.  But here “something new” doesn’t just refer to this lovely group gift from Petite Mort!
Malliot_c009

  • Petite Mort — Tiedye Maillot (Group gift, 2016/07)

Tiedye Maillot is comes in standard sizes, plus Slink, Maitreya, and standard fitmesh.  I love fitmesh, and Petite Mort‘s does not disappoint.

Malliot_c010

You see, I had not heard the word “maillot” before, so I had to go and look it up.  It turns out it’s another name for a tank suit, or one-piece swim suit.  Who knew?  Well, plenty of people, but for me, it was something new.   What really caught my eye was the wikipedia article, which reported that a ‘tank suit’ is so called because it was a suit to wear in a swimming tank — i.e., a swimming pool.

Malliot_c004And a tank-top?  According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, a tank top is named for a tank suit — named for the pool in which you’d use it.  And that’s something else that I didn’t know.

Now, don’t you feel smarter?  Good, then go over to Petite Mort, because their goodies are gorgeous.

Hey, this is my one-hundredth post!  How about that?   Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Butch?

I’m not too butch, I’m just what you see is what you get 🙂  But I do like tank tops, and this one from Sn@tch is pretty cool for applier clothing.  It comes in system and has Omega appliers, and a HUD with eight colours to let you match it with nearly anything.  And it’s a FREE gift at the Sn@tch store!

Island hope

A lovely little gift from GLITTER to share with you today.  Island Hope comes in two colours, the lovely blue  and another in pinks and oranges.  I’m rather partial to the blue.  🙂
HopeBlue_c004a

Hope Flowers is in two-part mesh, each in the standard five mesh sizes.  It’s got a good fit, although the front hem can play a little havoc with the alpha zones on a mesh bod.  I find I get a tiniest bit of a hitch, but it’s really not noticeable under normal circumstances.

HopeBlue_c007

GLITTER tends to keep gifts up for a while, so I didn’t bother posting a date on this one.  All the same, I’d stop by and pick this up — and look at the other gifts — and peruse the other fine offerings they have to offer.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
