Shiny

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Alaska Metro <3 featured this amazing bodysuit back in December for an event, and while I stopped and picked it up, I hadn’t had the chance to share it with you before now.  Kristal is an applier bodysuit that has beautiful reflective detail.  It’s just glorious as you dance under coloured lights!

A good bodysuit works on a Friday night out visiting the clubs….. but is even better when you can come home and lose the jeans…

Kristal comes with two versions, one featuring a modesty panel for those who would rather not be quite so… transparent.  This is definitely one of the best applier textures I’ve ever seen!

Happy Aloha Friday, my wonderful friends!    Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Macabre underpinnings

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews, Sponsored

Everything needs a good underpinnings, a strong foundation… what’s holding you up?  Melora and Oubliette have some lovely Slick Leggings for you at  Suicide Dollz right now!

Oubliette‘s beautiful fitmesh leggings have some amazing texture to them — these aren’t appliers, you can see the little wrinkles and ridges to them!  They’ve also got a nice glossy sheen that comes out very nicely in the photos.  Slick Leggings come in your choice of 10 wonderfully dark textures, as well as a fatpack featuring a bonus texture.

JHC‘s Faunwest boots are cute little ankle boots, but they’re a bit disappointing.  I know, it’s dark enough that you can hardly see them here, and that’s not entirely an accident.  The ad claims that they work with a variety of mesh bodies, but they are NOT fitmesh rigged, they appear to simply be several different copies that have been size-adjusted to be ‘close’ to right.  That’s not bad, but it took a bit more adjustment to get it just right for my own body size/shape.

These are some really lovely leggings, and in enough different textures that you’re sure to find one or two or ten that are just perfect for your sense of the darke.  Stop by Suicide Dollz and take a look!

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

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

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!

Bundled up

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

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!

We <3 Role-Play is back and Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have created a lovely gown for the occasion.  Brightwood Mist is available in fitmesh for SLink and Maitreya bodies, and is a wonderful simple medieval-themed piece.  I was feeling rather springy today (I know, I’m jumping the calendar a little), but it would suit quite well in any environment!

Brightwood Mist comes in nine beautiful shades, as well as a fatpack if you can’t make up your mind!

Sweaters and snowfalls

Aeon Reviews

You may have noticed, I love a sweater and tights and boots!  This beautiful little Christmas gifty from ! Maci ! is perfect with my Baby Monkey tights!

Okay, snow is no good for plumeria, so I found a lovely evergreen wreath with baby’s breath from Persefona.  It’s lovely and happy, and is just the right touch for my winter look!

! Maci ! has a host of happy gifties, some for the holidays and some just their normal lovely attire, stop by and take a look!  Is anyone else excited for the season?  I’m like a little girl when I see all the lights!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
