Dangerous

There’s no other word for it.

Just dangerous.

Carrie’s Lingerie brings us Dangerous, a catsuit/bodysuit in Omega appliers and mesh, with five standard sizes plus fitmesh for Slink Physique and Hourglass.  Dangerous comes in six mouth-watering colours, and is available in the Carrie’s VIP section now!

I’ve complemented Dangerous with some jewelry from Rowena’s Designs.  The necklace and ear cuffs both feature colour-change HUDs with a choice of five different lovely hues.

The open back is perfect for framing my favourite tat.

Can you believe Blue lent me the keys?  When it comes to parallel parking… I’m clearly.. Dangerous.

Thanks to Sabine for pointing this FREE group gift out to me!  Amy comes in the standard mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for (takes a deep breath) Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Physique, Venus, and Lara 🙂

The dress comes with a HUD with ten textures for the dress, and four textures for the front metal highlights and the chains at the back.  Wonderful!

A Time for Flowers

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I thought I’d take a moment to show you this week’s group gift from The White Armoury!  Le Temps des Fleurs is all mesh in the standard five sizes, with separate sleeve bows and a lovely little chiffon collar ruffle and overskirt.

A little detail showing the collar and bows at the sleeves.

This is available at The White Armoury through Saturday, but they’ll have a new group gift up on Sunday, so don’t dawdle!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

When I heard the learned astronomer….

You know what?  Walt Whitman did a lot of good, but that poem gets it all completely wrong.  Old Walt may have understood a lot… but he clearly didn’t understand the thrill of understanding.

I picked up this lovely outfit as part of the hunt, and love it enough that I had to share it with you!

Let me make a statement here: NO, astrology is not based on science.  But the planetary symbols used here are used by astronomers as well.  I have not seen the constellation symbols used, however.  In any case, I can love the dress — and the detail — without buying into astrological mumbo-jumbo!

Alchemist_c001

The necklace and headband feature planetary symbols — Mercury on the headband, Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, and Mercury on the necklace.Alchemist_c006

A momentary rant?  There is a lovely belt that is included with this outfit, but it suffers one of the problems that I’ve seen multiple times in SL.  The belt is too large for the outfit, and can’t be resized small enough!  now, that’s one thing when you have fitmesh or SL layers or appliers — but when you are using the standard mesh sizes, the creator should be very aware of how small the item needs to be!  Unfortunately, the belt that goes with this was no-mod, so I couldn’t unlink it and properly size it.  🙁   Fortunately, the dress looks good even without the belt.  Please, creators!  Pay attention to your sizes when you’re creating accessories!  Not everyone in SL is an amazon!

Okay, rant-mode off.  🙂   Mahalo, everyone!  A hui hou!

Bella Hadid wore red, but I’m wearing green!  This cute Asian themed dress is in fitmesh in the standard sizes.  It also comes with a necklace and earrings that I’ve chosen not to wear.  And it’s a FREE gift for SLF&O members right now at Jumo!  Hurry and get yours!

Bella’s dress was only split up to her thighs.  What a fraidy-cat 🙂

Beloved Jewelry

blue LotD

I’ve written about Beloved Jewelry in a previous post, but today I have a special reason for writing.  The other day was my rez day, and my wonderful Aeon, knowing I really like the designs at Beloved, accompanied me to the store so I could pick out my own presents!  Isn’t she awesome?

I picked a set and a necklace, trying to compliment my existing jewelry by selecting pieces that could be worn with less or more elaborate gowns and dresses.  My other main jewelry set from Beloved is pretty gemstone heavy (think a large central stone with 15 drop accent gems on the necklace alone!) and is suitable for very plain solid coloured gowns.  There is no way I could wear it with a mid length dress.  So, I tried to fill out my range 🙂

First up, we have this lovely 15 chain drape necklace.

The plain chains at the front are accented on the back by some lovely drop gems.

The chains can be textured with a range of platinum, silver, pewter, and gold metals, and there are a range of coloured accent gems for the back, all selected from a touch menu on the necklace.

The second set I picked is a little more formal, but can still be worn with dresses.  It’s also texture changing with an even larger selection of gems.

I’ve selected the aquamarine gems to match the dress that I’m wearing, but the diamond, sapphire, and of course emerald are all stunningly well done!

Mahalo – thank you – my love!  I can’t wait to show them off!

Kerryth at Spyralle has surprised us all with a lovely gift available for everyone.  She’s been updating older outfits with Omega appliers to replace the SL clothing layers, and has offered the Heliconia Kilau’ea as an open gift to all — no group membership needed for this one!

SpyralleHeliconiaKilauea_c003

Heliconia comes with three lovely skirt designs, two versions of a three-tiered design (one of which is pictured above) and a simple single flat-hemmed skirt (shown in the images below).  The skirts are flexi, and swish very nicely as you walk or dance.

Kerryth’s fractal-inspired artwork and lovely colour palettes just make her work a true joy to wear, and perfect for the lu’au.

Stop on by Spyralle and pick up Heliconia, and take a look at Kerryth’s many other amazing works.  You won’t be sorry you did!

Mahalo, and a hui hou!

Now for something completely different!  No, not Monty Python, but this!

Sometimes it helps to remind yourself that SL is not just about pretty clothes and fashion 🙂
