Look of the day

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Paisley Daisy December

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

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!

POE 8 part 9

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

The 8th annual Peace on Earth hunt is certainly turning up some nice gowns!  Today we have Silent by KL Couture.  The gown is system with flexi skirts, and the system layers also come with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, EVE, and Lolas.  The star broach is unfortunately not modifiable nor does it have a resize script, so judicious placement is called for to get it to look just right.  Other than that, a lovely older style gown that dances wonderfully well with its long train.

I’ve added the Peace Dove Earrings, also found at POE 8, to complete the look:

POE 8 part 7

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

In the interests of completeness, I’m showing you this outfit 🙂 I think this is the only steampunk type outfit I have in over 700 outfits in my inventory, so as you can guess, steampunk is not really my thing.

The outfit from ShuShu has multiple options for the poncho, and two mesh dresses in standard sizing.  However, do be warned, this is a walking around dress, as your arms are completely alpha-ed out and “replacement” arms and hands are part of the dress!  Certainly not for dancing.  The outfit also includes the mask, hair, and hat!

The boots are pretty awesome though 🙂
