Look of the day

Neptune’s Daughter

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

She arose from the waves, clad in foam and sea-spray, a naiad, a daughter of the waters….

I don’t know if you’ve gone on the Medieval Fantasy Hunt XV yet, but you surely should.  This wonderful gift is from Feyline Fashions!

The outfit comes with standard layers and Omega appliers for top and bottoms, plus flexi skirt and assorted mesh add-ons – the staff, a knife (sheathed at the thigh), necklace, shoulder pieces, horns, bracers… there’s a tonne of goodies here!

Twilight hours

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Ooooh, it’s that time again –Spyralle‘s group is no longer free to join, and you know what that means – another lovely gift for us!  Kerryth brings us Inkke in the lovely — and exclusive — “Sunrise” colours.  And the dawn is not far off….

Inkke_c004

  • Spyralle –  Inkke dress (Sunrise)
  • Luminesse – Sea Turtle Orange Agate necklace and earrings

Inkke is all-mesh and offered in seven sizes, and is available for sale in seven different fractal-icious colour schemes.  But don’t delay – the “sunrise” scheme is for the gift only, and will not be sold.

One of the things I love about this gown is the lovely cape-like detail in the back.  While it’s part of the gown’s mesh, it’s layered just above, and provides a lovely contrast both in structure and in colour.

And permit me a close-up to show off this lovely honu pendant and earrings from Luminesse.  This was on special at the cart sale at the Wash, but the full-priced copies – in a variety of other agate colours – are an amazing deal.  I went back to pick up a few more!

After a few years in SL, I know how guardedly-horded those group slots can be.  Trust me, Spyralle is definitely worth it!

Fringed

blue LotD

Here’s a cheeky little bikini from Etchaflesh.  It’s in fitmesh in the standard sizes and also comes in fitmesh for Slink Physique (so I should have pointed it out to Aeon, silly me).

etchaflesh bikini_002

The fit is unfortunately not optimal on the bottoms and leaves more than I’d like to leave on display while wearing swimwear, but other than that, it’s a lovely little kini.  It comes with a texture HUD with four colours, and the fringes, ties, top, and bottom can all be individually textured.  You can also turn off the fringes for a more plain style.

Wedding season

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Carrie’s Lingerie has opened a new bridal store, and the offerings for the season are just exquisite.

MindyBridal_c008

Megan comes with SL layers and Omega appliers, as well as a lovely little prim skirt that flutters wonderfully.  Well, perhaps it’s more of a ruffle.

I needed some help getting all laced up in back…..

MindyBridal_c009

There are included options for an underbust corset and a bra.  With my chest, those are hardly impressive, but I do love the corset!  All components are independently selectable, so you can mix and match with other outfits as well.

MindyBridal_c022

Megan has an accompanying makeup set, with a lovely silvery eyeshadow and silver-shimmer lippy, just right for a bit of restrained flair.  And we’ll cap it off with a lovely little rose wreath at the Color Me Project, a group gift for Second Life Frees & Offers!

Ohhhh, and I have to.  Partially because it’s a good song – and partially because I heard a recent interview with Billy Idol the other day, and he is a riot.  Not a Quiot Riot, that’s different.

Mahalo, and aloha!

Workout

blue LotD

What I go through to keep my girlish figure 😀

etchaflesh sweats_002

The sweatpants from Etchaflesh have a texture and colour HUD that allows you to change the pants, all the highlights, and the drawstring with a multitude of colour options!

The best thing about workouts is showering off all that sweat at the end!

Palila

blue LotD

A new designer for me, Busty Boutique claims to cater for all the busty ladies out there.  I’m only average in that department, so I was expecting this outfit to be a check and file trash, but I was pleasantly surprised with it.  I’m assuming this is because it’s fitmesh (did I mention I love fitmesh?)

palila_003

The dress comes in standard mesh sizes (all fitmesh) and also in fitmesh for Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya.  Also included are a pair of heels for Slink High.  The texturing is very nice, although I’m having to go blonde again 🙂

A new day

Aeon LotD

It’s hard to take a leap, sometimes – to do something new when you’re so comfortable with the old.

I have felt that way for a long time regarding certain aspects of SL.  I’ve been encouraged by my good friend Whit to investigate the world of mesh faces (somehow that’s so much easier to say than ‘mesh head’, which just keeps striking me as silly, for some reason.

As I told her, while the money is quite a commitment (to me), I really had a hard time changing my look.  My face is… me.  I’m kinda silly that way.

But take a look at the Kirsten head from Gaeline Creations / [GA.EG].

I’ve blogged this dress before, but it’s not really about the dress (clearly).

allyOcean_c008

I won’t go long into the details of the face/head, but after trying many out (Catwa, Logo, Slink, LeLutka) this one gave me the shape that I’m happiest with, with ease-of-use and flexibility that lets me think of the future.  It comes with its own built-in skins and several makeup options but is also Omega skin and makeup compatible (with the Omega transfer HUD).

One of the aspects I really like is the capability of adding on additional [GA.EG] makeup packs right into the face HUD, no additional HUDs necessary!

Oh, yes – and Kirsten works with mesh or SL eyes – it does not require mesh eyes.  I’m rather happy about that!
allyOcean_c006

Suffice it to say that I finally found a me.. that looks like me.  Hopefully you’ll find it an improvement as well, but not so different from the me you know.  I rather wish Whit had been able to stick around long enough to see that she “won”… but she’ll know, somewhere.  🙂

Mahalo, and aloha!

 

Summer flowers

blue LotD

As summer is fast approaching, I thought I’d rummage in my closet for a nice summer style dress.  I’ve owned this dress for ages, and I remember dithering over buying it to attend my first Summer Queen event at Eden when I was only about a month old.  Back then, L$375 was a lot of money to a newbie (actually, it’s still more than I want to spend on a single outfit hehe) and I wavered back and forth before getting it.

It’s a lovely little dress with matching shoes in standard sizings (the shoes are non-rigged mesh and are resizable and work well on system or Slink flat feet).  It certainly makes me look forward to the warmer weather!

Midnight Madness (limited!)

blue LotD

Recently there have been a few events based on the Midnight Madness concept.  The most recent featured a number of designers and delivered a limited number of prizes to people, one prize at midnight, and the following the next day at noon.  I was lucky enough to grab this wonderful outfit from Salt & Pepper during the event.

The corsage comes with a HUD allowing you to change the colour of the leaves, flowers, and pearl trim.  And it’s Lara fitmesh 🙂  With the addition of a suitable hair, I’m in Chicago in the 1920s!
