Vellista Evenstar

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha, my friends!  Some lovely little treasures to share with you that I found at We Love Role Play.  I was a bit late getting to the event this month, so we’re a little behind!  Today I’d like to show the Vellista tunic from Senzifine.  It’s a lovely long-sleeved bare-shouldered tunic that can double as a dress.  I paired it with some leggings from Silvan Moon Designs’ Ranger of Islavare outfit, and the result is pretty magical.

This outfit just called out for some of my favourite jewelry — the Lapis necklace and earrings from Evelock and Spyralle‘s Forest Edge mask.

Just as the fae, all things are fleeting.  We’ve got about a week left for this month’s We Love Role Play, and about that much time for one of my favourite pose makers.  an lar [poses] is closing at the end of this month, and all her poses are half-price.  Their easy gentle style has really appealed to me, and I’ll be sorry to see them go.

So, you know — the lesson in everything is to take advantage of what comes your way, for you know not when it will vanish like a sparkled dream.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fur Coat Quickie

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Just a short post to show off a lovely fur coat from Beautiful Dirty Rich. So often ‘fur’ in SL appears rather tacky but here they have managed a nice luxurious look. The Obsession jacket comes in 10 patterns, along with 10 colors for the scarf, which can also be hidden.

There are two other styles of fur coats available from BDR as well, with differences in collars and length. The Obsession fur coats are available for all major mesh bodies.

Now this is a coat to keep you warm on chilly nights! Cheers!

Daydream Romper

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Recently at the Dark Style event I came across a lovely romper and boot combination outfit from Beautiful Dirty Rich. The romper is available in three different fat packs, one with 20 patterns, one with 11 crochet designs, and another with 11 lace designs. The boots are available in a fat pack with 11 solid colors and 20 pattern colors, matching those of the romper.

I love all the various pattern and color options, and it’s always a delight when a vendor creates a set allowing you to color match boots with an outfit!

Both romper and boots are now available at BDR’s main store so you don’t need to go through the event to find them (it’s a great event but quite laggy!).

It may be getting a little bit chilly for such a short style, but hey it is always warm in SL! Cheers!

Autumn Faerie

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

I go to a lot of events and often discover someone new (for me) with just the right thing. The Leaves of Time faerie outfit by Trinity is a delightful set of… well, leaves! But it exudes just the right air of happy (and sexy) fae-ness. The set includes the top, bottom, arm vines, and leg vines, along with a bonus shirt that covers a little bit more that shown here.

Leaves of Time comes with an eight color HUD of various fall colors, and each of the parts of the outfit can be colored separately. I found the set provides the perfect foundation for adding in lots of fun detail items with an autumn motif.

Come dance through the forest with me, dear friends! Cheers!

Fantasy Flair

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Sometimes you find outfits that are simply gorgeous but are not necessarily practical to wear out and about. Such is the case with my two offerings here from Moon Amore, the Midnight Illusion Cinderella gown and the Angelic Souls gothic lolita outfit. Both feature stunning designs that appear to float on the wind, making for some stunning pictures. Alas, as they are static mesh pieces, they also do not actually float and thus bounce around as you stand with your AO on or when walking. But they look pretty! And thus I had to take some pictures with them for you. 🙂

The Midnight Illusion gown comes in five colors, in a single mesh size, so one needs to play around a bit to make sure it will fit. I was able to successfully fit it to my Maitreya body. And of course I am waiting here for my true love to cross the bridge to me…

  • Dress: Midnight Illusion Gown by Moon Amore
  • Gloves: Long Bento Gloves by L’Emporio in 30 colors
  • Jewelry: Leah earrings and Betsy necklace by Avaway,  Magic necklace by Swallow
  • Hair: Mayumi3 by D!va
  • Pose: The Bella Series – Three by An Lar

The Angelic Souls outfit looks just the thing for the damsel dashing through the magic forest! Available in two colors (white and black) for Maitreya.

  • Dress: Angelic Souls by Moon Amore
  • Boots: Candy Lolita by Candy Kitten
  • Earrings: Lollipop Guild by Violet Voltaire  (Marketplace link)
  • Hair: Haruka by Argrace (sadly no longer available, as Argrace has retired nearly all of their hair)
  • Pose: Sexy 06 by Aeon Animations  (Marketplace link)

Ready for a little fantasy in your day my friends? Cheers!

On the run

Aeon Fashion, Gadgets, LotD, Reviews

The Sisters of Eden recently had a cyberpunk-themed party (DJd by our very own Jaz) and I had a lot of fun putting together an outfit that I really wanted to share with you.  This really was a fun outfit, as I assembled it from a variety of bits and pieces!

  • :::SOLE::: — Shinkan glasses (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • :::SOLE::: — Luna Headset (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • Profectus — Time Brace
  • Xtra Ordinary — Dragonsuit Top applier and collar from Sith Lady costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Coat from Underworld Deathdealer full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Combat belt from Black Widow full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • [The Forge] — Cypher pants (Oil) (Gacha) (Marketplace Link)
  • Silvan Moon Designs  —  Bento Gloves, exclusive for Fallen Gods Decennial
  • GRAVES — G322 Combat Boots (unrigged mesh)
  • BAXE — Miss China – Gala 2018

I didn’t want to go all Tron-glowy, but cyberpunk does require some supporting gadgets!  I found just the right things at :::Sole:::.  I’m wearing two separate pieces here,  the Luna headset and the Shinkan glasses.  Both have huds for texture and glow, and both are unrigged mesh – so they’re resizable!

The boots were a tricky find — I wanted something that buckled and looked meant for action — not silly oversexed high-heel boots.  But I also needed something that could accommodate the mesh leggings without having surface conflicts (‘peek-through’). Graves’ Combat Boots are just right — with male and female versions so it’s not just a genderless muck boot.

I’m always reminded how much fun it is to assemble an outfit from bits and pieces.  I totally love playing with a role-playing costume like this!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

Mix and Match 3

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Sometimes inspiration strikes from any old place. I was out and about furniture shopping and came across a sign in the store with a picture of a dress I really thought was pretty. I IM’d the store owner to ask what is was and she kindly told me. It was called The Bridal Gown from Dead Dollz, and what particularly appealed to me was the lace overdress. So I bought the dress and took that part and start building around it.

As being all lace it was already see through, and rather revealing at the top, I add a set of flower modesty covers for top and bottom, also from Dead Dollz, which matched the lace overdress pattern nicely. To this I added a set of flexi sleeves from one of my favorite gowns, the Bianca from FlowerDreams.

  • Pose: The Finnley Series – Four by An Lar

Rounding it out was a pair of nice lace applier gloves and of course my favorite boots, the Gothic Lolita’s from Candy Kitten.

So let your inspiration soar – be inspired by something in your inventory and start mixing it up with other bits and pieces and see what you can create! Cheers!

Captured in the Net

Jaz Events, Fashion, Reviews

I came across this lovely net top at the Liaison Collaborative event, and just squeaked it in to the blog – the event is only through the 26th so don’t wait on this one!

I am not generally a fan of the off-the-shoulder look but this one, Aly by Baiastice, just seemed to work really well to me. It comes in 12 colors, with and without the bra, plus a fat pack with four additional colors and the ability to mix and match the bra colors.

Pose: GP Emma 8 by An Lar

The see through of the net is really nicely done and gives this top a fun summery look.

And of course… the bra is optional… if you’re feeling a little daring with that net look…

Pose: Summer Breeze – 05 by Stardust

Is it cold in here or is it just me? 😉 Cheers!

Powers of Prediction

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I foresee people coming together to help out those less fortunate.  Hey, look at that, I’m right! Don’t call me a Sybil, that’s really just the beautiful new dress that Kerryth at Spyralle has created for Spoonful of Sugar, an event to help support Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (Doctors Without Borders).

So I’m always on the prowl for good new hair.  Curly hair is rough — there’s lots of mesh hair for straight locks, but my curls are rough to reproduce in-world.  Often the hair I wear for walking around in-world is different from what I wear for photos — hair with flexies is rough on photos, but it can sure look good as you dance or walk about in-world.  So I was really excited to find Leela from Analog Dog at SoS.  It’s not an exclusive there — it’s also at the mainstore — but I believe that the purchases at SoS contribute to MSF, so it’s a good time to buy!  Leela is very similar to my go-to hair (Annie, also from Analog Dog) — but it’s a bit longer, with a lovely curl over my right eye.  🙂

Sybil comes in six lovely colours, each in a “glyph” and “plain” version.  You might guess which I prefer!  I love this dress so much that I might have obtained four of the six available colours!

My friends, have a wonderful weekend.  Stop by Spoonful of Sugar, get some lovely things, and help out MSF.  The only thing better than finding new treasures is helping others out in the process!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou!

A Pirate’s Treasure

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Yarrrr!  Happy Pirate Day, my hearties!  Perfect for the day, Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Buccaneer Celeste at the September We Love Role Play event!

The tricorn is great, and I didn’t have to work too hard to find hair that I could match with it.  Fortunately, I’d just recently picked up Farryn from Truth Hair.   I’ve become quite the fan of Truth’s styling huds!

  • <K&S> — Loveliness #3 pose

Celeste is perfect for a fierce Piratess… or for a frolic about the tavern.  The boots and leggings are well-textured, and I suspect I’ll be wearing these boots in a few other outfits as well!

I hope that today and every day finds you with plenty of booty, a mug of rum, and a fresh breeze!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
