Gilding the Lily

Newness at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival!  Silvan Moon Designs offers Lily of Dellhollow, a beautiful new mesh outfit in multiple independent components — top, vest, belt, skirt and pareo.

Lily is offered in three commons (aqua, pink, green) and rare red!  As with all the lovely SMD offerings, it comes in standard mesh sizes plus Maitreya and  SLink fitmesh.

You might know, it takes a lot to get me to wear red, as it often clashes with my ginger…. but the Lily gacha rare is stunning.  Add a ribbon from .wound to complete the look!

SMD offers a lot of role-play and period pieces, but this is one of those that I can see wearing on a much wider basis.  Solas and Bee keep coming out with amazing work.  Visit the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, and stop by Silvan Moon Designs and give them some love!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A ranger for a silvan moon

A silvan moon?  Is that like a Forest moon?  or a little nod to the passing of Gene Cernan?   Certainly the Ranger probes didn’t land among the trees.

No, it’s a desperate attempt to come up with a clever title to share Silvan Moon Designs‘s beautiful Ranger of Islavare.

Daisy Wreath from Caverna Obscura is an old favourite, but the Family Tree of Life pendant is a lovely new item from Earthstones.  It features a choice of metal options, plus three gems that are independently selectable from the “standard” set of birthstone colours.

Ranger of Islavare is featured in five different colours — four of which are shown here.  Shadow (shown at the top) is a lovely black theme, and below you can see Hunter (sagey green), Brooke (dark blue), and Rune (aqua).  There’s also Secret, a beautiful dark red (not shown).

Ranger features the dress, leggings, cloak and matching boots (not shown here).  Dress and leggings are available in the five standard rigged sizes plus standard, Slink Physique and Maitreya fitmeshes.  There are also standard layer and Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya appliers for the leggings to help you work better with legging/boot conflicts.

Silvan Moon Designs keeps coming out with amazing work.  Stop by and give them some love!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


TRIANGULATE! TRIANGULATE!

Newness for your inner geek!  Let your nerdiness take over the ‘verse!  Jadziyah at Eclectic Stars has some sweet mesh leggings for you!  They’re maybe not the warmest for the winter, those are triangular cutouts!  They’re fun and just a little cheeky.

Who wouldn’t want to be warm and snuggly in a hoodie like this?  8-bit graphics and a zipper down just so. Perfect for a tease of a t-shirt underneath… or just a little skin.  Or even better, a pendant that that Daleks would surely love to get their hands on — a lovely little treat from the Harambee Gwassi-Kenya Charity Shop, complete with matching earrings.

The leggings are available in a host of fun patterns — stop by Eclectic Stars and check them all out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


8-bit Holiday Cheer

You know that bit where you find a creator that gets you?  Someone who understands your style?  I’ll admit I’m lucky to be sponsored by a number of such wonderful artists here on the blog, but let me squee a little bit about Eclectic Stars.

8-bit Christmas is a lovely version of Eclectic Stars‘ Shifty dress.  I do so love a sweaterdress and tights in the cold months!  I’m even more amused because the 8-bit-style images both evoke the `old’ days of computer graphics… but also fit in just fine with sweater graphics limitations!

I hope wherever you are that your season is filled with bright lights and starry skies… and friends and family surrounding you.

And… as a friend pointed out to me… some of the rest of us need to always know — ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻokahi wale nō, ʻaʻole ʻoe e poina ʻia.  You are not alone, you are not forgotten.

Mele Kalikimaka a Hau’oli Lā Nui!


Sparkle and shadow

The perfect wrapping for a holiday gift — Catty Sparkle  from Carrie’s Lingerie!

Catty Sparkle includes Omega applier (and standard layer) gloves, stockings, garter and corset.  Heels are sold separately, but include a colour-change HUD.

Okay, I’m not conceited… but smart enough to think that my legs are my main redeeming feature.  So… little surprise that I like backseam stockings and a nice pair of heels.

With this much exposed chest, I could probably get away with an awful extravagant necklace… but thought that a simple emerald tennis necklace (with matching earrings and bracelet) from Zuri Jewelry would make just the right statement.

Catty Sparkle comes in six beautiful gem-bright colours.  Take a stop over at Carrie’s Lingerie and check out them out — all of Carrie’s holiday offerings.

Aloha!  A hui hou!


Victorian Elegance

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!
victoriafaun_c007

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!

victoriafaun_c001

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.

To seek out new life, and new civilisations…

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!
