A moment of reflection

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Something old for the new… something new for the old.  I haven’t posted a lot over the last two weeks, travel for the holidays, getting ready for the new term and some business-related travel.  It’s a crazy time… but it’s also an important one.   The opening of the year is always a bit of a good time for some reflection.

  • Petite Mort — Elona Sweater Dress with lace skirt
  • Mesh Agency — Faith Boots with top socks
  • !!smesh — Star choker and ankle bracelets
  • DRD — Metal Heart Vintage Lounge pose

Elona from Petite Mort is not a new release, but it is new to me, thanks to a wonderful Christmas gift from my lovely Blue, complemented by some beautiful new boots from my sweet mamma Jaz!  Elona features a beautiful cable-knit sweater available in 10 lovely earthy colours and an attached white lacey skirt.  It comes fit for Maitreya Lara, Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis, and SLink Physique and Hourglass!

My boots are Faith from Mesh Agency, and they are fantastic.  They come in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus, Maitreya Lara, and SLink Physique and Hourglass, as well as a resizable unrigged version.  What’s best is a beautiful colour HUD, with fifty choices of boot colour, fifteen sock colours, and four different metal detail choices!

You know, reading a lot of fashion blogs, I’m well aware that there’s a lot of unhappiness at a dearth of fitmesh sizes for Belleza bodies.  I’m so happy to share two wonderful products that have not forgotten Belleza!

My wonderful friends… thank you for being with me through 2017.  I wish us all a wonderful 2018… may it be a year of happy change, a year of growth, a year of peace and wonder.  As a wise man once said, “may it be a damn sight better than the last one”.  Keep dancing, keep laughing, keep loving.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Hyperborean Chieftan

I make it a point not to re-blog old items, but sometimes you have to.  I first blogged the Snowmoon Silk Road tunic and pants from Spyralle almost two years ago — just a few weeks shy of two years.  Do you want a good laugh?  Go back and take a look at that post!

There’s a good reason to come back to the Silk Road tunic — Kerryth has created Eagle of the Snows, a new headdressb designed to complement Snowmoon, and it’s available only at Genre!

  • Spyralle — Eagle of the Snows Headdress, exclusive for Genre!
  • Spyralle — Silk Road II Tunic (Snow Moon) and Trousers (Midnight)
  • Baby Monkey — Debbi Boot
  • Dragonsfyre — Sky Nation Native American War Lance
  • [Kikay] — Lolita Gothic D pose

Eagle of the Snows has a number of wonderful options!  There is a removable mask-like portion (shown attached above, and removed, below).  There is also a texture HUD that allows three different pattern choices for the front and side gems.

The War Lance from Dragonsfyre was just what I needed to complete the ensemble.  It’s very nicely done, my only problem was that while resizeable, the minimum size was too big for a “normal” sized avatar (that is, my height of just under 2 m tall).  No problems, I was able to edit -> edit linked and resize the staff and adjust the feathers just right!

Okay, now for the bad news.  This is the last time for Genre!  Spyralle has been a part of Genre for a very long time, and Eagle of the Snows is a bit of a good-bye to this wonderful event.

Do stop by, let’s give Genre a good send-off!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Winter brings snow, and time to bundle up!  My favourite coat is an older coat in rigged mesh from Mishmash Fusion!  It’s rigged mesh in the standard five sizes, but the coverage works really nicely even with mesh bodies!  Add some nice tights from Baby Monkey and you’re ready for some cold weather!

Mishmash Fusion has a whole host of different colours to choose from, with white and black fur lining.  The detail is lovely, and the colours are so nice and vibrant!  Stay warm!

I’m ready for the cold!

Okay, I may be a daughter of the islands… but I do love a nice warm jumper and boots on a cold wintery night!  Sallie has a perfect happy sweater, not too oversized, but just right with a pair of tights!

  • ProPose — F1, September Group Gift

The cording on this jumper is just beautiful, I love the texture that Sallie created!

Bring on the snow!  Bundle up, it’s chilly out there!  Hmmmm, I should find my coat.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

stay in bed with me

Aeon Fashion, Reviews

I lay between the sheets as dawn’s early glow washes over me… thinking of your touch, the warmth of your love surrounding me… thinking how lucky I am to be yours.

I discovered some new beautiful fitmesh lingerie from /erratic/ that just suits my style so perfectly.  Ella is a lovely cami and shorts set (I always called them tap pants?).  They feature beautiful satiny texture and some lovely lace details.  I’ll show you some other lovelies from /erratic/ later on.

Why don’t we just stay in bed all day?  Warm and cozy and soft, let our worries just fade away.

Mahalo!   A hui hou!
