Look of the day

Spill the wine

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Let’s start by setting the stage:

I’m very proud (and a little bit blushing) to bring you a drink of wine from my latest sponsor!  Carrie’s Lingerie brings us Megan in wine, to be precise.

Megan comes in Omega appliers for your favourite mesh body as well as standard SL system layers, with an optional little prim skirt.

Is there any clothing item sexier than backseam stockings?  Well, it’s a very short list, if there is such a thing.

Megan comes with so many options!  There is a bra, corset, and underbust corset for the top (I’m not showing you the underbust corset!!!)  You also may select stockings, garter, and panties independently for the bottoms.

And yes, perhaps I might just have to keep sharing some music, thanks to the wonderful Whitburn Blackburn.

Mahalo, and aloha!

Lovestruck Juliet

“A lovestruck Juliet, sings the streetside serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that she made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, You and me, babe, how about it?”

Well, that’s not how Mark Knopfler wrote it – or sang it – maybe… but why should Romeo get all the gold stars for his efforts?  Well, maybe we won’t get into looking at the sexes in Shakespeare too closely.  I suspect that not-a-few doctoral theses have been written on that topic!

But we should take a look at this latest group gift from Blue Moon Enterprises.  Lady Juliet is a lovely mesh gown in fitmesh for the standard SL avatar, Maitreya, and Slink!

I need to point out the lovely filigree choker from Strength & Charm that Blue gave me for my rez-day.  This is such a delicate little bronze-gold beauty, with three glittering emeralds.  It is perfect for this gown!  Mahalo, dear heart!   And a note of sincerest thanks to Aries Oh at S&C — her customer service is the best.

One more pic?  Just because I like the shadows.  🙂

Stop by Blue Moon today.  Pick up this amazing gift, and take a look around at some of the other fantastic designs that Solas keeps bringing us.  Grab a demo or two, and you’ll be hooked!

In the meantime, mahalo, my friends, and aloha!

Night out #3

Finally for my third night out, we are going with an absolutely lovely dress in system layers and prim skirt.  While I love all three outfits, if I had to pick, I’d go this one as prim skirts dance soooo well 🙂

Night out #2

blue LotD

Day (or should I say, night) number two, and this time I’m wearing an amazing club dress by Devicious.  This is in rigged mesh only, and while this photo was taken with it on Lara, I have to wear it with the standard system body and its associated alpha as the Maitreya alpha HUD, while brilliant, is not going to cope with this…

Night out #1

blue LotD

Let’s do a little thing here with dresses I’d wear out dancing.  Three looks over three days.  And we will start with new technology and go back to the old days!

First up, a wonderful little dress in fitmesh for Lara.  It also comes in rigged mesh and has fitmesh for Slink and Belleza too, and is the prize from Sweet Intoxication on the Twisted Hunt.  Fitmesh is the best thing since sliced bread and is making me carefully consider purchases.  My two go-to must-haves for outfits that I spend significant money on is fitmesh for Lara, and Omega appliers.  Nothing but fit.  Hmms “nothing but fit” sounds like a good tagline for clothing.  You heard it here first 🙂

Siren Song

The Twisted Hunt must be one of the most challenging hunt in all of Second Life.  But wow, is it worth it!  Here are two lovely hunt items

Sn@tch‘s Siren Sequin Gown is a lovely all mesh gown in the standard sizes, plus Maitreya and Slink Fitmesh sizes.  I love Slink Fitmesh!

  • Sn@tch Siren Sequin Gown (Twisted Hunt gift)
  • Secrets of Gaia Twisted Odyssey Jewelry Gold/Onyx
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

Odyssey is a lovely set.  A bit of a close-up on the necklace, font and back.  The earrings and bracelets feature the same fan design.  I think it works very nicely with Siren‘s embroidered motif.  One might even think that were planned, given the consanguinity of names!

SirenSequin_002

I love the little pendant in the back of the necklace.

The Twisted hunt is a mighty challenge.  But wow, what happy discoveries!

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!

Hair fun!  Analog Dog most times have a free “hair ball” (gotta love the pun) down on their beach, which is yours for the grabbing.  No group needed, nothing to join, just run and get it.  I really like this hair as it’s completely out of the ordinary for me, so I get all types of comments when I wear it 🙂

Their hairs are tint-able via the HUD too, so I’ve used this hair for everything from blondes through blacks in various outfits.

Pink world

Sometimes you just need to do something different.

In search of that ‘different’, my good friend Whit has decided to stop blogging after two years, and she’s been an inspiration to me here.  I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss her wit (heh) and her mentoring.  One of the things that she always enjoyed was pairing music with her fashion posts… so in her honour, a song from an obscure little band that I don’t know if anyone else has ever heard.  🙂

For me, ‘different’ is a little bit less dramatic – but only a little bit!  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises brings Darcy to Fair Play for the month of March.  Darcy is available in Slink and SL fitmesh, and it’s perfect!

Light pink typically does not go so well with my colouring, so a little trip to the salon was necessary.  Blond?  well, it’s something different.

Blue Moon also offers the Rose Crown as a lovely little gotcha gift, available only at Fair Play.

I’m going to go back to my ginger, but it is certainly a bit different seeing myself as a blond.  It’s amazing how strongly little things – hair and eye colour for an avatar – can change the way you see yourself — or at least, the way that I see myself.  In any case, be sure to stop by Fair Play before this lovely little number disappears!

Mahalo, and aloha!

Women’s stuff hunt

blue LotD

The Women’s Stuff Hunt is on at the moment and I wanted to quickly show you this bikini, which is the prise from Rayne.  This is another one that I really wish was fitmesh for Lara, but it just comes in standard rigged mesh with some additional “curvy” sizes.  It won’t displace my fav, but it is nice!

This week’s group gift from The White Armoury is the lovely Mists of Arador.  It’s a lovely all-mesh gown in separate top  and skirt pieces, with optional puffy sleeves, as well as matching bracelets and a brooch at the waist.

  • The White Armory – Mists of Arador – Denalia gown (group gift, 2016/03/06)
  • Chez GiGi – Monaco Gold Evening Sandals
  • Spyralle – Summer Leaf  necklace and earrings

In this day and age, I always test first against my Slink Physique mesh body. That is how I feel that I look my best!  I have no problem with the standard SL body, although I’m loathe to use SL hands or feet.

Arador was not specifically designed for mesh body: it features the standard five mesh sizes plus a SL fitmesh size.  I find that the XS fits the Physique body best, while the SL avatar works well with the XXS.

AradorDenalia_005

As with many similar meshes, I have problems with the straps on mesh tops/gowns at my shoulders: they sink beneath the skin on the Physique, and are too thin to use alpha zones.  I haven’t shown that here (the rear view shown below is with the standard SL avatar body), but long hair easily hides the glitch.

It really is a fine gown, and a lovely addition to my wardobe.  Mahalo to The White Armory for such a fine gift!

Mahalo, my friends, and aloha!
