Summer Casual

Jaz Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Here’s a light and breezy summer dress from Sweet Thing, called Elisa Corset Dress, available at the Kustom9 event through the 15th. It’s available in 18 single solid colors; a six-color camo pack; a six-color ‘galaxy’ pack with constellation patterns; a six-color leopard pattern pack; a four-color pack with test on the top; and a fat pack of all of the singles and smaller packs plus three full pack only designs. Whew! That is one versatile dress!

This is one of the solid colors matched with the wonderfully flexible Faith boots from Mesh Agency.

 

And a close up of the red color, for a better view of the lovely mesh corset detailing.

 

And finally, a view of one of the ‘galaxy’ patterns, with lovely constellations all around.

Let’s go enjoy those summer days! Cheers!

 

 

 

a fae’s amusement

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Wow!  Summer classes have been keeping me busy, how much time have I let slip by without sharing?  I have a beautiful dress that I want to show you that I picked up at The Muses at We Love Role Play back in May, but it’s regularly stocked in the store now.  Daphne is a lovely wonderful little dress, just right for a dancing little fae.

Daphne comes in fitmesh for only three bodies.  I’m not sure how it will fit on Physique or the other two Belleza bodies, please try a demo!

There are 16 different textures available: ten in a lovely paisley pattern, and six in the beautiful leafy motif I’m showing you here.  You can see which is my favourite!  Say, that’s a bit cheeky….

Both palettes feature the gold lacey midriff section.  That part has transparency, so you must make sure that the demo works without using body alpha zones!

There’s always something lovely at We Love Role Play, and the anchor stores (such as The Muses) feature some really wonderful items.  Make sure you take a good look around!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Add one more… One more Addams, that is

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Hello dear ones! Today I’d like to feature a few items from Addams, who are right up there on my list of truly quality clothing designers.

Let’s look first as the Carolina Women’s Wool Dress, available in 22 single colors or a fatpack with HUD. It has lovely detail that really catches the light, and the shape is very flattering. Don’t you just want to snuggle up to someone in that? In the coral color I matched it with some pretty over the knee boots from Mutresse called Kaisia, available in an 18 color HUD fatpack with lots of mix and match color parts.

And black is always nice and slimming. Here I wore the Carolina wool dress with the Chetare boots in ebony from Bella Moda.

Addams is also really good with jackets. Here is a casual denim number, Melissa, that opens up nicely around the chest to show off… whatever nice top you are wearing (insert giggle here!).  However I chose to wear my fave Blueberry tank, the Lola; and rounded it off with a neat pair of jeans called Dita from Lapointe and Bastchild (subject of a future blog!)  The Addams Melissa jacket comes in a substantial 41 single colors, or a fatpack with HUD. It has a flopped down hood in back that you can turn on or off, with 16 colors of its own.

Finally, we have a sharp looking leather jacket with woolly collar from Addams called Lulu, available in 14 single colors or a HUD fatpack. It too opens up nicely around the chest area; in this case there is an option for a bra that can be turned on and off. The bra is not quite to my taste so instead I used another goody from Lapointe & Bastchild, a retro tank top that will be in that future post too!

That’s it for this time, my lovelies! Cheers!

Blooming

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Have you been to Midsummer Enchantment yet?  Kerryth from Spyralle has a magical headpiece and collar just waiting to frame your beautiful face!

The collar has a lovely vine closure detail in the front which serves as a beautiful necklace/choker for you.  The texture HUD changes both items together, although if you wanted different colours you could wear and set them separately.

I don’t normally wear reds and pinks, they don’t tend to work well with my colouring… but this Windflower shade just worked too well with Spyralle‘s earlier Sylvia release, and I couldn’t resist dancing.

The Sun Flower / Wind Flower / Moon Flower headpieces are a lovely accent to a beautiful gown or the perfect accompaniment for your garden fae.  Stop by Midsummer Enchantment before this bloom disappears!  The faire is full of other wonderful goodies, many with a darke/gothic flavour…. and many treasures just awaiting your discovery.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Bottom or Top?

Jaz Fashion, LotD, Reviews

That’s ‘pants’ or ‘jacket/blouse’ of course…. Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show off a selection of tops and bottoms for a range of occasions.

It’s summer! And time to be outdoors enjoying the fresh air. Nature beckons with a lovely jacket from Giz Seorn called Trixie, available in eight denim colors plus a fat pack that tosses in pretty designs such as this one. It’s available at the Vanity event. Complementing the light summer feel is a pair of my favorite jeans, Tali from Blueberry, with over 20 single colors, a fat pack, and even a separate leather fat pack.

Club time you say? How about a little bit of purple to shake things up? Returning to Blueberry again, the Bette top is very versatile, with both long and short versions and over 20 individual colors plus a fat pack. The pants are a sweet half-lace number called Toxica from Gulabi, with over 30 single colors plus a fat pack with bonus lace patterns.

  • Blouse: Bette Dress Shirt – Short by Blueberry
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Necklace: Endear Ladies Key Necklace and Gypsy Necklace – Black Pearl/Silver by EarthStones
  • Hair: VANILLA A and VENEZIA A by eXxEsS
  • Boots: Not Whyte Beaded Laced Ankle Boot by RFYRE
  • Jewelry: Boho Ring Collection by *KATE*
  • Pose: Semper Infidelis by Bauhaus Movement

On those days when the sun is maybe a little bright and it’s time for the floppy hat, we can still go with our Toxica pants, here in a light blue, and mix it with another offering from Gulabi, the Noctra jacket, which comes in an astounding 60 single colors, plus a fat pack with exclusive colors. What’s more, the jacket has a variety of different sections that can be recolored in the fat pack with any of the other colors; truly a very versatile top!

  • Jacket: Noctra by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Shoes: Celine by Astralia
  • Hat: MI Female Hat by Meli Imoko (Marketplace link)
  • Hair: Valentina by Truth Hair
  • Pose: Sexy 08 by Aeon Animation (no relation to our Aeon!) (Marketplace link)

And finally, when you *really* need to get away from it all, here is the Gulabi Noctra jacket again in one of its other colors, paired this time with the Leather Cult Pants from Aris Aris, which includes 12 colors. For good measure I added the Lola tanktop by Blueberry.

I hope you all enjoyed my little romp through tops and bottoms! Let’s see what I come up with next time, shall we?

Cheers!

 

Wind and water

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy Aloha Friday my lovely friends!  Are you ready for some Sun?  You know what, I think I’ll let the pictures tell the story….

The Izzy fatpack features a choice of 16 colours plus an additional 10 patterns, each component (kini bottoms, top, and tie cord) are individually selectable.  Top and bottoms are separate pieces, so you can mix and match.

Happy Aloha Friday, all!   Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Hope in the darkness

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

There is nothing so magical as a walk through misty woods in faerielight…. the line between worlds seems to grow as hazy as the air, and the fae are close.   Just feel it… don’t fret about the future or the past, what has been done or what must yet be accomplished.  Just feel.

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have a lovely gown for the June We Love Role Play.  Born of Hope is a two-piece fitmesh gown in six lovely light shades.

I really love this jewelry set that Blue gave me a while back — I just don’t get enough opportunity to wear it.  The delicate butterfly and pearls works so very well with the sweetness of Born of Hope!

I really love the We Love Role Play event.  It’s a lovely showcase of some beautiful fanciful outfits and accessories, and Silvan Moon Designs really has become a wonderful staple of the show.  Stop on by and spend an hour or two looking around!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Falling into Wonderland

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

It’s time for a little Enchantment, and Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Iracebeth of Crims, a beautiful new fitmesh gown modeled after the Red Queen in celebration of Enchantment‘s theme — Through the Looking Glass.  Yes, yes, you can get it in red – but look at the other pretty colours first!

Mad mad props to Astralia, who created this wonderful Alice-inspired set of scenes on their sim!

The gown and jacket can be worn separately, but work so very well together that I have a hard time imagining wearing them independently.  As always, Solas’ fitmesh is perfect, and Bee’s texturing is just exquisite.

It’s your move.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

It’s all been done

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

So, maybe it has all been done.

Sooooo it’s the curse of blogging, you’ve got a product out there and someone beats you to it.  Well, fooey, and I really liked that, too!  So, what do you do?  You take your own pics and show it the way you want to, that’s what.  🙂

Alaska Metro <3 is hosting a little mini-hunt, the Wardrobe Staples hunt with ten gifts: three at the Alaska Metro <3 main store, and seven at Free Dove.

Here are two of them that I just adored, the Long Tank and the Moto Leggings.

Each of the items in the hunt features a HUD with a couple texture choices.  The Moto Leggings and Long Tank each have three lovely choices to mix and match.  I really love the mesh on these, the leggings are very nicely detailed!

Oooh oooh and also?  This is the first time I’ve featured the Hatsune hair from *ARGRACE*.  I really have fallen in love with the *ARGRACE*.  In addition to a texture with a few choices for the headband (or whatever hair-related accessories a particular hairdo comes with), most of their styles feature a styling hud.  These allow you to add wisps or, in the case of Hatsune, a lovely braid across the forehead.

 

Stop by Alaska Metro <3 and Free Dove, the hunt is free and easy enough, and the goodies are lovely.  And above all, happy Aloha Friday my friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
