Victorian Elegance

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

For the Winter Solstice Event, Sylvan Moon Designs brings you Victoria Faun, a beautiful gown in three parts (skirt, jacket and bodice) and a cute little pillbox hat.  It seems the perfect gown for a Midwinter Ball!

The detail on this gown – from the mesh to the textures – is amazing.  I love the little filligree at the bodice, arms, and back.  That shouldn’t be surprising, Solas and Bee do incredible work!

victoriafaun_c004

Victoria Faun is available in four different colours: Ice, shown above, royal blue, maroon, and hunter green.   The hunter green is my other favourite, and here I thought I’d try a slightly different look – a little more wild, a little more steampunk.  It’s amazing how just a few details will change the tone of an outfit!

The tome I’m looking for isn’t here… someone must have removed it… but who?

victoriafaun_c003

So, just a little grumble — make sure you grab the landmark to the Winter Solstice Event here, because it’s not easy to find otherwise.  I’m not sure that Pale Girl Productions (running the show) is trying hide the LM, but they’re not making it easy.  I can’t figure out why — if I were Solas or Bee I’d be a little honked off that PGP is making it harder for people to come to the event!

That said, there are some beautiful things there to find!  Stop by and take a look, and then head over to Silvan Moon Designs —  Solas and Bee create some amazing things for your shopping — and wearing — pleasure!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Make it Snow

If you’re not laughing yet, you may should just skip this post.  🙂  Have I mentioned that I love Eclectic Stars’ sense of humour?  How about a nice snuggly jumper?  No, really, I mean literally Snuggly,  A warm funny jumper in five standard mesh sizes!

Even better,  this is one of those wonderful extra-fuzzy-on-the-inside jumpers that feels so good on your skin.  😀

This island girl loves her snow — Poli’ahu has been dancing on her mauna, and the summit is covered in the white stuff.  Even Mauna Loa got some snow this past weekend!

So I’m ready for the cold weather.  Are you?  Make it Snow.  🙂

Aloha!  A hui hou!

 

 

 

 

 

Cozy

Mmmms ,warm and snug and still sexy for the winter?  Yes, please!  I love a sweater and tights, and Alaska Metro <3 has the lovely Heather sweater dress in 6 colours!  It’s hard to beat a nice form-fitting sweaterdress in the cooler months.

Stay warm my lovely friends!

To seek out new life, and new civilisations…

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I’m so happy to announce that I’m now an official blogger for Eclectic Stars!  Jadziyah has a wonderful sense of style for all the nerds out there of every stripe!   Let me share with you a great example of her work — Shifty — and maybe stir up a little controversy!

shifty_c004

Rowena Springlower’s Tanith boot is the perfect fit to complement this outfit, and comes with a fantastic colour HUD!

Hmmm… now, how did that happen?  Let me check my code….

shifty_c002

As you might expect, Shifty is available in three colours: blue, red, and gold for science, engineering, and command.  Hmm, tricorders have gotten smaller over the years… who could have guessed?
 shifty_c008

Wait, what controversy?  Jadziyah named each outfit for the colour scheme on the new series – where command is red and engineering is gold.  In the original 1966 series, gold was for command, and red for engineering and security!  I’ve seen angry fights break out over this that make some sporting rivalries look tame!  And yes, blue was science in all series.

shifty_c006

Whichever side of the controversy you’re on, you’ll love Shifty.  It’s available in fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Physique bodies, as well as the standard five mesh sizes.    Beam on over to Eclectic Stars and see what other fab things there are for you to find!

The Woodcutter’s Daughter

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my friends!   Enchantment is on, and Silvan Moon Designs has the perfect dirndl set for you:  The Woodcutters Daughter!
woodcuttersdaughter_c001

As you’ve come to expect, Silvan Moon leaves little lacking: the multilayered mesh is beautifully crafted and textured, giving a perfect look for roleplaying, that Octoberfest party (that’s only 11 months away!) or for wearing just because it makes you happy.

woodcuttersdaughter_c003

Woodcutter’s Daughter comes in four colours: a delightful hunter green, blue, lilac, and turqoise (not shown).

woodcuttersdaughter_c008

The whole dirndl set is crafted into one piece: Skirt, blouse, bodice and apron. Silvan Moon has you covered with five standard mesh sizes plus fitmesh versions for Maitreya and Slink avatars plus a fitmesh for the standard SL avatar.

woodcuttersdaughter_c005

Silvan Moon Designs never disappoints.  Stop by Enchantment today — pick up a demo or a fatpack — and take a look at the other treasures around the event.  Then visit Silvan Moon Designs and see what else Bee and Solas have created for you!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A dream of djinni

Okay, I love Susanne Vega, so this must makes me grin a LOT.

I’ve been very excited to share this outfit with you!  A wonderful friend gave me a beautiful birthday gift: Genie, a beautiful mesh outfit from Caverna Obscura, and I’ve been anxious to show you all!

genie_c015

Genie is glorious.  It’s available in Maitreya and Slink fitmesh, and available in three different colours: the purple shown here, black, and gold.  All three are beautifully tempting, and while I deliberated,  I had to choose purple.  🙂

Each colour comes in two versions: the transparent one, and an opaque if you wish to be a little more discrete.

genie_c011

Genie is a perfect opportunity for to show off Nefertiti, the beautiful kohl from [GA.EG].

genie_c028

Caverna Obscura has always had beautiful outfits, and I’m so happy to see their outfits now in mesh-body-friendly fitmesh.  Please stop by and take a look!  Please note that Caverna offers a demo for Genie, but all of the outfit components are locked together.  In the full version, each of the components may be worn independently!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

One last spell to cast….

One more witch for this season?

Petite Mort brings us a wonderful little in-store hunt for my final witch of the season: each item in the hunt is part of the Gypsy Witch – hat, skirt, lace shawl, peasant top, and pentacle choker.  Three’s still a little time before All Hallow’s Eve!

pmhuntwitch_c006

The Gypsy Witch features Petite Mort‘s flour sack peasant top, lace shawl, and gypsy skirt.  Each comes in the standard five sizes, plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fitmesh!

pmhuntwitch_c003

Setting the hat aside for a moment, Gypsy Witch makes for a wonderful slightly gothy outfit.  OMG I love Petite Mort‘s fitmesh!

pmhuntwitch_c002

  • Sexy Stand 3 pose

pmhuntwitch_c004

A little bit of a closeup on the choker.  The witch’s hat can oversize a bit without looking out-of-sorts, but a little creative editing of a hairdo can always help, too.  🙂   I don’t usually wear heavy eyeshadow or dark lippy, but it definitely works with this outfit, I think!

  • ProPose —  Group Gift September F1 pose

The worst part, to me, of the end of the Hallowe’en season?  Everyone always expects the costumes to be put away for another year.

Me, I’ll always wear my inner witch… so don’t be surprised if you see me in my pointy hat out-and-about in SL.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A Darker Witch

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Perhaps I just have a bit of an affinity for witches.   🙂

Today’s is a lovely special from your favourite steampunk supplier, Pixel Box.  Halloween Stuff Witch comes in four dark shades, and you know that I had to take a look at the green one!

pmwitch_c004

  • Pixel Box — Halloween Stuff – Witch Green (top, skirt, boots, hat, broom)
  • REIGN — Tattoo Choker Necklace (“Deathly” and “Spellbound”)
  • //elephante poses// — Rose #2

pmwitch_c008

REIGN offers this beautiful little mesh choker in three varieties.   While the name is “Tattoo”, it’s not a tattoo, it is a lovely little bit of mesh!   I’ve shown both below — “Spellbound” with a pentacle charm, “Deathly” featuring the Deathly Hallows.  I can’t decide which I like best, but each comes in black, gold, and silver.  And best yet, all three metals for each of the two charms is included for one lovely little price!

And whatever you do, don’t blink.

pmwitch_c015

Unsurprisingly, Pixel Box also offers an accessory kit that will give this gothy beauty a steampunk bent.  It’s definitely worth checking out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Amelie

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

This is the second outfit I picked up from Ana Markova thanks to my wonderful Aeon 🙂

amelie_001

This one is in standard mesh sizes and has specific fitmesh sizes for Maitreya and Slink Physique.  Yay!

amelie_002

I want to highlight the creator of my skin again too.  Lumiya Rae, owner of Lumae, makes fantastic skins at reasonable prices!  This is the freckled option of my normal Adore Peach Bare skin, the one I wear every day.  When I’m not being all formal and hiding freckles under makeup, I wear a freckle tattoo on my face to add some interest.  I’m not really the pale freckly one (that’s Aeon) so I generally wear a non-freckled skin.  But I was playing with this option of the skin for the face freckles the other day, and I thought I would show you a close-up so you can see just how good Lumae skins are.  I highly recommend them!
