Look of the day

Winter spirit

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

It’s a warm winter for many of us, but the cold temperatures sweep in with a shiver, an icy breeze cuts through the night air, revealing Snowflakes by Caverna Obscura.

The Snowflakes ensemble is a bit of an older one: it features the mesh top, wings and flexi skirt as shown, plus a system layer bra and thong and shoes sized for the SL foot.

You’ve seen my necklace before… no fae would turn down the opportunity for a sparkly necklace!  An icy tattoo from [NN] Designs is just the right touch to complete the look.

Mahalo, and may you stay warm and bright this Solstice season!

The spirit of the Islands

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, all!  I decided to take a walk around Oahu, a lovely sim that I found early on in my explorations of Second Life.  Oahu reminds me of some of my favourite places on the islands, so I visit frequently.

Oahu is also, coincidentally, where I discovered Island Style Designs so long ago – Nickki maintains a little satellite shop near one of the beaches.  This gown is one of my little favourites.  The long mesh isn’t optimal for dancing, perhaps, but it’s a lovely comfy dress for going out to dinner, for an evening with friends, or just for a lazy afternoon.  It’s fully mesh, and available in a number of beautiful island patterns.

What is aloha?  It is life, it is love, it is acceptance… I think you have to come here to experience just what it means, but then… you carry it with you, you share it, you spread it throughout your travels, wherever you go.

IslandStylePanelGown_016

Nickki at Island Style carries a number of accessories and acoutrements.  The necklace is simple and elegant, and the plumeria blossoms for the hair is a must-have.  Remember, though, to put the blossom on the correct side!

A little shout-out to Calico Ingmann at Calico.   If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I frequently show Calico’s styles.  Calico makes some of my favourite hairstyles, and the best match to my shade!   The Paige hairstyle here is the most wonderful loose french braid.  The shoulder braid is a separate piece fitted to the shoulder to avoid the clunky rigid rotation when I turn my head.

Now, if I could just convince Calico to make a version of this with the same loose braid, but flexi and hanging down the back?  I’d be in heaven.

It’s been a long lovely day exploring Oahu… time to just sit and watch the waves roll in.  Please, come and visit us on the Islands… and visit my friend Nickki at Island Style!

Mele Kalikimaka!  Mahalo, and aloha!

Circle of Love

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Today I have a wonderful new gown to show you from Paris Metro Couture, called Circle of Love.  The gown is available in store as a free gift to group members (group is FREE to join).  The top and pants come both on system layers and have appliers for Omega, Slink, and Belleza.  As is the norm with gowns from this designer, you need a few editing skills to get the prim skirt and accessories sized just right, but my, once you’re done, the overall effect is stunning.

Burlesque

blue 1 Comment Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Our contest theme today at Eden was “Burlesque”.  I was looking through my inventory before the event and really couldn’t decide what to wear, but thought I may go with this outfit from Carrie’s Lingerie:

But as you may be able to notice, it has no appliers for Slink, so I would have had to wear system hands and prim feet, not the most sophisticated look 🙂

So I was browsing around my news feeds and I came across a L$1 hunt item available at Glitzz for the second annual Christmas Desires Hunt, that comes with all the appliers, and said to myself “these colours are more in line with the season!”

Organic Geometry

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I’d like to share one of my favourite artisans in SL, Spyralle.    Kerryth Tarantal at Spyralle uses a lot of fractal- and geometry-inspired textures to produce some stunning designs.  Kerryth manages to beautifully blend mathematics with an organic flow – reminding us of the fractals evident in a fern stem, in a seashore, in lightning.

Esyld_001

Esyld is a lovely mesh skirt and top that together make a beautiful gown.  This one in particular appeals to me due to its versatility – it’s equally at home at a ball and in more casual settings.  The outfit is packaged in seven sizes – the standard five plus XS+ and M+, with top and bottom independent to allow you to get the perfect fit to your shape.

Esyld_003

I really love the lace-up corset-style back!
Esyld_004

My necklace and earrings are from N@N@, who sadly closed their inworld store earlier this year.  They still have a Marketplace link, however, with quite a few of their offerings still available there.  The Sun and Moon bring out the greens and blues in the skirt and top, while blending nicely with the more earthy tones.

Wishing you joy in this and every season!  Aloha and mahalo!

Lara

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

You may have noticed in my last post I have finally purchased the Lara mesh body from Maitreya!  It feels like I’ve been saving for ages (probably because I have been saving for ages!)

Although there must be a lot of pictures of this body out there by now, I will add mine, because I’m so excited and can’t resist showing off lol

A Fae Find From Fi’s Creations!

Aeon LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I’m happy to announce that I’m joining Fi’s Creations as an official blogger!  Fi has a lovely collection of clothing, landscaping items and home decor.

Fi’s offers this lovely Elven Dress as their hunt gift in the ongoing Elven Forest hunt.  The Hunt runs through the end of December, and is free and gridwide.  You can find a complete list of stops with pictures here.   Fi’s mesh dress comes in the standard five sizes, with a gauzy flexi skirt and matching wings included.

FiFae_002

FiFae_004

I’ve accessorised with a haku lei from Island Style Designs, and my favourite opal necklace and earrings from Earthstones, which really complements the colouration of the dress.

FiFae_017

The included wings are lovely for a photoshoot, but are unscripted and rather rigid to wear in-world.  I thought I’d try replacing them with some of my favourite wings from Fancy Fairy.

FiFae_013

Folding my wings leaves the dress on it’s own, a lovely look for the garden or a night out on the town!FiFae_018

Please stop and take a look at Fi’s Creations, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with what you find!  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go finish this hunt!

Mahalo, and aloha!

Here’s the fabulous new group gift from Paisley Daisy for December.  Just what we need for tripping around in the snow.  The jacket is in the standard mesh sizing and fits my new mesh bod (Lara by Maitreya) perfectly!
