Dazie, Dazie…

Give me your answer do
I’m half crazy all for the love of you

Hmm, does anyone but me hear the slowing voice of HAL when they read those words?

Blue Moon Enterprises offers the exclusive Dazie at the April Fair Play.   Dazie definitely evokes a more elegant age, but is perfectly appropriate with a steampunk theme or just as a casual long dress.

Dazie_c10

Dazie is available in three colour schemes, purple, amber, and teal.  The umbrella is available in the Fair Play Gacha game, and comes with a colour-change HUD to select between the different detail colours.

Kudos to Solas for her adoption of fitmesh for the mesh bodies!   I can’t get over how easy it has become for the customer to get the layered look of mesh with a great fit.  I think I’m becoming spoiled.

The amber wasn’t my favourite starting out, but may have become so by the time this shoot was completed.

And, just for grins, a different hairstyle with the teal, featuring Alli & Ali’s Almeda.
Dazie_c14

Solas made up an extra little treat – there’s a wonderful little matching bag (also with colour-choice HUD) offered as a gift at the Fair Play stall!

Give me your answer, do….

My answer?  A resounding yes!

Mahalo, and aloha!

Raven and Rose

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Blue’s post yesterday inspired me… and so rather than going blond today, I thought I’d try something a little.. darker.  Just right, I think, for Mindy, new at Carrie’s Lingerie!

MindyRose_c013_2

MindyRose_c008

Mindy comes in six lovely white-and-pastel combinations, with both standard SL layers and Omega appliers.  All elements are individually selectable!
 MindyRose_c004

Hmm, what do you think?  Ginger is certainly me, but I might do better raven than blond?

Stop by and take a look in the New Release pit at Carrie’s Lingerie today, for this and Carrie’s other wonderful offerings!

Mahalo, and aloha!

Total Kristie

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

According to the Urban Dictionary,  apparently “Kristie” means “totally gorgeous”.  That’s appropriate enough: one of Carrie’s Lingerie‘s new releases for you this month is the lovely Kristie, in Omega appliers as well as standard SL layers.

KristieTeal_c007

KristieTeal_c006

Kristie is available in twelve beautiful colour choices – divided into six dark and six bright tones.  Carrie’s has also released a separate optional matching make-up for the full effect.

Soft like a bunny

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

So, for your holiday trivia, no one seems to know exactly why rabbits are associated with the Christian Easter tradition.  Neo-pagans point to an old Germanic goddess Ēostre, who supposedly was associated with rabbits… and eggs… and whose name and traditions were hijacked.  Others are quite quick to claim that the only evidence for Ēostre comes from one mention by the Venerable Bede, and there’s no sign of rabbits or eggs in that story, and it’s just the neo-pagans trying to debase Christianity.  Mind you, they don’t seem to have an answer for the origin of rabbits or the name Easter, either, apparently.

Regardless of your spring tradition, Carrie’s has re-released Bunnie, a lovely little piece just perfect for your celebrations, whatever they might be!

Bunnie_c004

Bunnie_c006

Bunnie includes standard layers and Omega appliers (shown), plus a lovely little prim skirt and mesh ears, tail, and bow tie.

Bunnie_c012

Bunnie also includes makeup (in tattoo layers and Omega appliers), including a cute little bunny nose and whiskers!

Bunnie_c007

Bunnie 2.0 is in the New Release pit in the centre of the store now!

Suited for the Valley Isle

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Beautiful Maui, the Valley Isle.  Also, beautiful Maui, newly updated from Dressed by Lexi!  I’ve had the Maui in ‘Ocean’, a beautiful blue and green batik design since it first came out, but it was released  shortly before Lexi started releasing clothing in Omega appliers.

Maui_c031

Maui_c035Maui comes in standard appliers with two different length flexi-prim skirts — a short one making a nice breezy dress perfect for the casual affair (dancing!), and an ankle-length one for an elegant evening gown.  The Omega appliers are sold separately, so those of us who have already purchased Maui can upgrade for a pittance.

Maui_c003

And if you haven’t purchased Maui yet?  Lexi has place the entire line (all six colour/textures) on sale for the next week as part of Fifty5 Thursday!  I had to pick up the purple Ginger.

Maui_c021

Maui_c009

Dressed by Lexi also has a lovely companion jewelry set featuring necklace, earrings, and armlets.  Four different metals and eight jewels are HUD-selectable.  The haku lei — the plumeria head wreath – is from Island Style Designs.

Maui_c026

Thanks for plowing through this – I really wanted to show off this amazing dress/gown.  And a huge thank-you — mahalo nui loa — to Lexi for releasing this.  I’ve been looking forward to Maui appliers for a year now!  Stop on by Dressed by Lexi to see all six colours, and all the other amazing styles she has to offer!

Mahalo, all!

Teddy Bare

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Okay, so.. I’m a bit of a sucker for a nice teddy.  Is it the high cut at the hip?  The lace?  Whatever it is, Carrie’s Lingerie‘s Ashley is plenty enticing. 
Shelly_014_c

Ashley is available in Omega appliers as well as standard SL layers.  Stockings, gloves, and teddy are all independently selectable.  I particularly love the backseamed stockings — I’ll be adding these to some black and gold dresses as well.

Like Shelly, Ashley was available only at the Fashion for Life event, so I’m just being a tease.

Shelly_007_c

You know the lingerie is good when you feel more naked wearing it than not!

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!

Melting into Spring

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

From your silver-white winter, Solas from Blue Moon brings us a lovely dress for Spring!  Rebecka is an exclusive for the Fantasy Cream event, and is available only there until April 18!

Rebecka_019_c

Rebecka comes in three different fitmeshes for Slink, Belleza/Maitreya, and for the Classic SL body.  There’s a demo available, so please try that first!

Rebecka_023_c

Solas has created three lovely colours for Rebecka – the green-and-yellow Leaf shown above, the blue and green Sky shown below, as well as a lovely pink-and-coral Petal.  I’ll admit, I wasn’t set to turn blond today, so you’ll just have to stop by Fantasy Cream if you would like to see the pink!  But I feel so totally Dorothy in this lovely frock!
 Rebecka_006_c

Please be sure to visit the Fantasy Cream hunt.  There’s a lovely head wreath for Blue Moon’s hunt gift,  and you can vote for your favourites and win some cool prizes!  It’s definitely an event not to miss!

Aloha and mahalo, my friends!

 

Dreams of Shelly

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Another sweet little bit of lace from Carrie’s Lingerie: the lovely Shelly.  Shelly comes in both Omega appliers and standard SL layers, with independently selectable gloves, teddy, stockings and suspenders.  ShellyTeal_019_c

ShellyTeal_007_c

It’s interesting shooting lingerie – a different style of photo than I typically have been taking.  It’s fun — and expanding — to do something different for a change!

Note – Shelly was offered by Carrie for this year’s Fashion For Life event which has now concluded, but may return to the main store at some point in the future! Lesson?  Don’t miss out on opportunities from Carrie’s!

Mahalo, and aloha!

A little retro for spring

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Blue Moon Enterprises has a lovely gift for you all this month, with a bit of 1950’s retro styling.  Lana is a beautiful little springy dress in fitmesh.  It’s a beautiful little number!

Lana_005

Speaking of beautiful numbers, wow, there’s no one that can shake it like the King… but don’t we all try?

Éire go Brách!

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I’ve long had an uneasy relationship with St. Patrick’s day.  If you want to know why, you can take a look here.  But it’s always a great day to celebrate Éirinn, so I just had to share Celtic Beauty with you, a lovely gown with a flexiprim skirt, mesh earrings and crown, and an optional cape.   Dressed by Lexi keeps adding Slink and Omega appliers to outfits, and the result is something to raise a glass of Guinness over!

CelticBeauty_017_c

  • Dressed by Lexi – Celtic Beauty (with included jewelry, applier sold separately)
  • Chez GiGi – Monaco Gold Evening Sandals

CelticBeauty_021_c

The Celtic knot detailing is just amazing, on the top, cape, and hem, and the golden ivy crown is the perfect complement.

CelticBeauty_001_c

And you can always shrug off the cape to reveal a light and gauzy skirt that flows wonderfully for dancing!
 CelticBeauty_016_c

Please do stop by Lexi’s and take a look at her lovely offerings.  And however – and whatever –  you celebrate, please do so responsibly!  Éire go Brách!  

Mahalo – Go raibh maith agat!
