Down to business

This is the January group gift from Ghee, still available in store.  Ghee is L$250 to join, but oh my the talented designers working there make it very worth it to be a member!  The outfit includes the winklepickers for Slink High, and with an over the shoulder bag, I’m all ready for a few business deals!

In the garden

I was just sitting around and noticed how nice the play of light was, so here’s a quick photo in our garden at home.  I’m wearing one of my “walking around” outfits here, the same one that’s in my profile photo.  A corset over jeans (well, leggings in this case) is always a fun look 🙂

New life for lobster claws

Okay, let me explain, since that title clearly makes no sense.  Heliconia is a beautiful flowering plant, also known as “lobster claws” or “false bird-of-paradise”, and was clearly the inspiration for the fractaled Heliconia from Spyralle.  Heliconia has just been re-released (and hence the ‘new life’) with Omega appliers, and is available at the Secret Wednesday March Yard Sale!  (See how clever that title is now, in retrospect?)

Helicon comes with two prim skirt options – a simple single-layer (shown above), as well as a three-tiered option.  Have I mentioned how much I love prim skirts for dancing?  The updated Omega applier lets me use wear these fabulous designs with my mesh body.  It’s the best of both worlds!

HeliconiaOpal_005

Helicon is available in three different colour palettes – opal (shown), as well as two other lovely shades.

Stop on by the Secret Wednesday March Yard Sale today, and stop by Spyralle.  There are always a few hunts going on  — and oooh, Spyralle’s giftie for the Twisted Hunt is not to be missed, and will be featured here soon!

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!


Stars swirl like snowflakes

Despite warmer temps somewhere, it is winter yet.

The White Armory knows…. and brings a weekly group gift for us, a gift of Winter Starlight.  I know I teased you last week with a White Armory gift that had just gone off, but this one is there in-store for you right now, for the next week!
WinterStarlight_011

Winter Starlight consists of standard layers and mesh and prim pieces.  I do love prim skirts, they swirl and flutter so prettily!  The overskirt for this is transparent with sparkling stars that flutter around me like fireflies, like snowflakes.

The wings are non-scripted but quite beautiful, and have a natural wave to them as you move, walk, or dance.  They come in both glow and non-glow options.

I would be remiss not to mention this new updo, on special now at Alli & Ali, at half-price for group members!

One more, my favourite, a little slice of contrasts….

“I am grey, I stand between the candle and the star –

we are grey, we stand between the darkness and the light.”

Mahalo, my friends, and aloha!


Pirate

This was my outfit for yesterday’s themed party at Eden.  Sometimes with Second Life fashion, you just have to mix things up and see what works.  This outfit is a complete mishmash of items from about ten different sources, including four jewelry makers, an old pair of system pants, boots from a lingerie set, and even a hat from the library!

This took some time to put together, in particular the sword belt, which is a large linkset.  Edit linked and move and rotate every little piece of the sword one at a time omg!  Don’t forget to take a backup of something you are editing like this!

Let’s see if I can detail some of this 🙂

  • Jacket, vest and shirt: This is mesh, but I have absolutely no idea where it’s from.  Given to me by friend Dana over 12 months ago and the creator mentions no store or marketplace links in their profile.
  • Pants and red sash: From Lady Buccaneer by The Bottom Line (marketplace link)
  • Sword and belt: Princely Pirate Belt with sword by GK Designs (marketplace link)
  • Hair: LIV – braid (back) by EMO-tions
  • Necklace: Ho Ho Ho and A Bottle of Rum by Chop Zuey
  • Earring left: Basic Hoops Gold by Soonsiki/Besom
  • Earring right: Cheyanne Earrings by Tantalum
  • Ring: “Modern” Women’s Ring by J’Adore!
  • Hands: Slink Casual
  • Boots: Psyche Thigh High Boots by House of Rfyre
  • Hat: Female Pirate Hat B2 – available in your inventory’s library folder

When’s that train?

While talking to Sorcha at Nevermore Designs earlier, she let me have a sneak peek at what’s coming up at the Secret 60 event for the weekend.  The dress and jeans come in all the standard sizes, and the jeans include shapes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Physique and Hourglass.  I’m wearing this on Maitreya Lara, and I had to change my shape to get this to work for me.  I’m pretty hourglass-y shape-wise, so I had to slim down in the (hates this word) saddlebag area 🙂

The top is fairly uniform black, including the belt detail, so here’s a closeup.

And again, the pack includes footwear, this time heels for Slink Highs!

All three pieces are included in the box at the event, for the unbelievably cheap price of L$60.  Run and get yours!
