The magic of summer

Aeon Fashion, Reviews, Sponsored

Blue Moon Enterprises is currently participating in the Creations Park Shop, and is offering you an incentive to stop by and check it out.

100% of all proceeds from items sold at Creations Park go to Team Fox for research into treating Parkinson’s Disease.

SummerFae_c12

Summer Fae is a beautiful all-mesh two-layer dress and wings that I’m fairly sure must be made of pure fairy sparkles.  The wings are unscripted, but have a lovely gentle flutter to them – and the texture is gorgeous.

SummerFae_c09

Even if you fold your wings, you are still made of magic.

Slip off the overdress…. and you have a classy number ready for an evening out.

SummerFae_c02

Solas already has a lovely August group gift out, this one is a bonus for the event.  Stop by Creations Park, pick up Summer Fae, and spend a few lindens.  You’ll help Team Fox fight against a nasty debilitating condition, and find some fantastic treasures for yourself!

Mahalo! A hui hou!

A jewel for royalty

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Sometimes I’m just utterly amazed.  There are such incredible products out there in SL, and they keep getting better and better.  Eternal Jewel, the latest offering from Silvan Moon Designs for the Fantasy Gacha Carnival is just one of those amazing pieces.

Eternal Jewel is all-mesh, and like all of Silvan Moon Designs‘ products, comes in the five standard mesh sizes as well as Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fitmesh.EternalJewel_c001

Now, I’ll tell you — Eternal Jewel has four common components (gown, overskirt, sleeves and belt), a rare crown, and an ultrarare colour-change HUD with seven different colours (green, aqua, blue, violet, red, white, black).   You can look at Blue Moon’s blog site to see the vendor pics featuring the HUD and one of the solid-colour schemes.  But what caught my eye was the ability to independently set the six different components of the outfit — and create your own distinct look. There are just too many options, but you can find some of my favourites below!

The Fantasy Gacha Carnival opens TODAY, August 7 SLT!  Please stop by — there are just too many treasures to pass up!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Boho class

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

If you are a wanderer at heart or just love the comfortable easy boho style, you’ll love the August group gift from Dressed by Lexi.  Boho Culture features an all-mesh skirt with a beautiful lacey Omega applier top.

The Honu necklace by Spyralle is a second of three versions offered at the Genre:Polynesia event.  You can see a different version back in this post.
BohoCulture_c017VileCult is one of the many vendors at the Epiphany event.  They offer this lovely rainbow eyeshadow with Catwa and Omega appliers.  It’s nice and subtle, and definitely due to become a fave for me!

Some fun items are out and about to be found on your travels, so enjoy!

Longing for the horizon…

Fishwife:

  • a coarse-mannered woman who is prone to shouting.
  • (archaic) a woman who sells fish.

Let’s say that the gorgeous mesh netting on Blue Moon Enterprises‘s August Group Gift has something to do with fish, then, because I’d hate for anyone to think that I had coarse manners!

Fishwife_c006

Fishwife‘s beautiful mesh is available in the five standard mesh sizes.  I found it to be a bit tricky on the Physique mesh body due to awkwardly-positioned alpha zone boundaries, but the lovely design makes it worth it.

Fishwife_c008

I’ll admit – sometimes I get really excited about the pictures I take.  Most of the time, actually, I’m pretty happy about them, but sometimes I get particularly excited.  So… join me, and gaze to the far-off horizon.  What wonders await us out there?

A hui hou, my friends!  Mahalo!

Kimbra McMillan at Beloved Jewelry, one of my favourite jewelry makers in SL, gave me a few items some time ago, including a tiara.  I’m not overly fond of tiaras, but I’ve been looking for an opportunity to blog it for her.  And along comes this fabulous applier and prim gown from LC Fashion!

alya gown_001

This gown is currently FREE to all comers, so hurry and get yours!  It comes with pants, top, and gloves on system layers, and has appliers for Omega, Belleza, Lola Tangos, Maitreya, and Slink.  The gown also comes in two styles, the ball gown I am wearing here, and a less formal evening gown.

alya gown_003

A lot of Beloved Jewelry’s items are texture changeable so you can match with what you’re wearing (or in my case, select emeralds to offset my hair).  This tiara is no exception and allows you to select the metals, main and marquis gems, and the pearls from a huge range.

I’d also like to thank my friend Sophia “Queen of Fae” Hard for her wonderful location at  Castle of Fae, Artic Wolf.  Her beautiful castle and surrounding grounds are open to the public and are well worth a visit.

Out for the night

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

It’s the end of the week, let’s go hit the pub and get a few drinks, maybe some darts, maybe some pool.  And when you find the perfect pair of jeans for that night out?VelvetBodysuitJeans_c004

Blueberry does a fantastic job with jeans.  Rica comes in the standard five mesh sizes, plus a variety of fitmesh for a bunch of mesh bodies: Slink (yay!), Maitreya, Venus, Freya, and Isis.
They even come in a ‘normal’ version and a tapered boot cut — all included in the purchase.  There’s also a belt with a colour-changing HUD – or you can just leave the belt off (toggled by the HUD).

VelvetBodysuitJeans_c002

So, that feeling when you find the perfect pair of jeans?  Yeah.  I feel pretty good.  🙂  Happy Friday, everyone!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Rainforests and sea turtles

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The sun goes down and as the cool air sweeps down from Maunakea, we think, perhaps, that something a bit warmer than my pareo might be in order.  For a comfortable yet classy appearance, try the lovely Niike from Spyralle.  Niike Rainforest is Spyralle current group gift, and comes in the standard five mesh sizes plus three fitmesh sizes.Niika_c004

  • Spyralle – Niike Rainforest gown (Group Gift, 2016/07)
  • Spyralle – Honu Bone and  pāua shell necklace and earrings
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

The three included fitmesh sizes are not Slink/Belleza/Matreya fitmeshes, but I was able to get one to fit my Slink Physique pretty well.  As you might guess, any difficulty lies around the collar and chest.  Fortunately, not only are demos available, but Rainforest is yours free!

Niika_c007

Spyralle has done a lovely necklace and earring set for the Genre:Polynesia event.   Honu (“sea turtle”, in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi)  comes in several colour schemes, here shown in bone and pāua shell.  Honu is strung on a very simple thin cord, I think I’d prefer if it were on a slightly longer leather thong, perhaps, but it is a lovely piece!  I also picked up the koa and mother-of-pearl, which I’ll show off in a later post.

Niika_c005

Niike is a beautiful gown, and Rainforest is free to group members right now!  Stop by Spyralle and pick it up, and take a look at the other lovely colours that Kerryth has put up for sale.  Then go take a look at Genre:Polynesia for the lovely Honu necklace and earring sets.  They’re too pretty to pass up!

Aloha, a hui hou!

Charlie’s Angel

Well, I’m no angel… but I might be feeling a little devilish in Charlie, a lovely corset in the Carrie’s Lingerie VIP collection, complete with boy shorts, stockings and gloves.

Aloha!  If you have any trouble seeing any images, please go look at my flickr page.  We’re having some occasional problems with images right now!

As light as a gentle sea breeze, Silvan Moon Designs brings us this diaphanous shift for the Fantasy Cream event!
AquellaMarina_c008

Aquella Marina features a mesh shift in the five standard sizes, plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Physique fitmesh.  The bikini bottoms are Omega applier (with system layer included).  Optional flexi tendrils are also included, as is a very aquatic mesh headpiece!

AquellaMarina_c003

The headpiece is the same for the four different colours, but is very nicely blended to complement each dress.AquellaMarina_c005

Aquella Marina certainly has an aquatic feel to it — perfect for a naiad or nymph — but remove the headpiece and tendrils, and you have a very lovely gauzy chemise.

Dear Abby

Aeon LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Dear Abby – 

Today I decided to become dangerous.  I decided to be bold.  I decided to wear my pink like I meant it, framed in black lace.

And dear Abby, I am not asking you for advice.  I’ve got my own confidence, and you can stick it if you don’t like it.

Sincerely – 

–Aeon
