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!

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

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

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?

Mahalo, my friends, and aloha!

Spill the wine

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Let’s start by setting the stage:

I’m very proud (and a little bit blushing) to bring you a drink of wine from my latest sponsor!  Carrie’s Lingerie brings us Megan in wine, to be precise.

Megan_wine_5c

Megan_wine_003_c

Megan comes in Omega appliers for your favourite mesh body as well as standard SL system layers, with an optional little prim skirt.

Megan_wine_004_c

Is there any clothing item sexier than backseam stockings?  Well, it’s a very short list, if there is such a thing.

Megan_wine_007_c

Megan comes with so many options!  There is a bra, corset, and underbust corset for the top (I’m not showing you the underbust corset!!!)  You also may select stockings, garter, and panties independently for the bottoms.

And yes, perhaps I might just have to keep sharing some music, thanks to the wonderful Whitburn Blackburn.

Mahalo, and aloha!

Lovestruck Juliet

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

“A lovestruck Juliet, sings the streetside serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that she made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, You and me, babe, how about it?”

Well, that’s not how Mark Knopfler wrote it – or sang it – maybe… but why should Romeo get all the gold stars for his efforts?  Well, maybe we won’t get into looking at the sexes in Shakespeare too closely.  I suspect that not-a-few doctoral theses have been written on that topic!

But we should take a look at this latest group gift from Blue Moon Enterprises.  Lady Juliet is a lovely mesh gown in fitmesh for the standard SL avatar, Maitreya, and Slink!

LadyJuliet_004_c

LadyJuliet_006_c

I need to point out the lovely filigree choker from Strength & Charm that Blue gave me for my rez-day.  This is such a delicate little bronze-gold beauty, with three glittering emeralds.  It is perfect for this gown!  Mahalo, dear heart!   And a note of sincerest thanks to Aries Oh at S&C — her customer service is the best.

LadyJuliet_009_c

One more pic?  Just because I like the shadows.  🙂

LadyJuliet_001_c

Stop by Blue Moon today.  Pick up this amazing gift, and take a look around at some of the other fantastic designs that Solas keeps bringing us.  Grab a demo or two, and you’ll be hooked!

In the meantime, mahalo, my friends, and aloha!

Pink world

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Sometimes you just need to do something different.

In search of that ‘different’, my good friend Whit has decided to stop blogging after two years, and she’s been an inspiration to me here.  I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss her wit (heh) and her mentoring.  One of the things that she always enjoyed was pairing music with her fashion posts… so in her honour, a song from an obscure little band that I don’t know if anyone else has ever heard.  🙂

For me, ‘different’ is a little bit less dramatic – but only a little bit!  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises brings Darcy to Fair Play for the month of March.  Darcy is available in Slink and SL fitmesh, and it’s perfect!
 Darcy_001_cropped

Light pink typically does not go so well with my colouring, so a little trip to the salon was necessary.  Blond?  well, it’s something different.

Darcy_006_cropped

Blue Moon also offers the Rose Crown as a lovely little gotcha gift, available only at Fair Play.

Darcy_003

I’m going to go back to my ginger, but it is certainly a bit different seeing myself as a blond.  It’s amazing how strongly little things – hair and eye colour for an avatar – can change the way you see yourself — or at least, the way that I see myself.  In any case, be sure to stop by Fair Play before this lovely little number disappears!

Mahalo, and aloha!

Beautiful batiks

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I love a batik print, on cotton or silk – wearing it carries me back to the Islands no matter where I am, even in the deepest coldest winter.  This new release from Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises is just the thing, then, for the dark Februaries of the Northern Hemisphere!  Aisling is an all-mesh skirt-and-top combination in five mesh sizes with a resizeable mesh belt.  It’s breezy and just a little bit sexy!
Aisling_013_crop

Aisling_005_crop

The racerback top is light and cool in the warm tropic sun, and the celtic knot detail about the bottom hem is exquisite!  That detail is repeated around the bottom hem of the skirt as well.

Aisling_004_crop

Solas has given us four lovely batik patterns for Aisling.  The above-shown ‘Rain’ has shades of green and blue on a natural field, while ‘Wheat’ below features more earthy tones.

Aisling_010_crop

‘Sage’ has the loveliest greens…

Aisling_009_crop

… and ‘Blossom’ features magenta and lavender.

Please stop by Blue Moon Enterprises and pick up a demo.  I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed!

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!

Fi Chic

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Fi’s Creations brings us Tres Chic,  lovely line of separates for a little stylish flair in your Februrary.  
 TresChic_004

TresChic_001

Tres Chic, like all of Fi’s creations (see what I did there?) is all mesh, and is available in six different colour palettes- blues, khakis (shown here), neutrals, nudes, pinks, and teals.  Each palette features four different shades.  I’ve played a little with mixing different options up in the pics here.

TresChic_006

The Tres Chic line includes shorts and heels, but I’ve elected to add a cute little pair of boots from Baby Monkey, also featuring a texture-change HUD.

TresChic_008

It’s quite a bit of fun to be able to mix-and-match, and as separates, one can certainly play with different colours from different palettes as well.

Aloha and mahalo, my friends!

Ohhh, Miley

Aeon Reviews, Sponsored

When I look at you, you hit me like a wrecking ball… I adore you, we can’t stop.

Okay, yes I can.  I can stop that anytime.  But it’s truth that the latest from Fi’s Creations is wonderfully adorable.  Fi brings us the Miley knit dress, 100% mesh in five standard sizes, with matching system layer tights.Miley_011

I’ve added some lovely high boots from Baby Monkey.  They’re Slink High compatible, but work just fine without the feets, of course.

Miley_016

Miley is available in four palette versions, each comes with a HUD featuring three textures, with matching tights for each one.  The above pics are from the #04 (in the bottom right HUD below).
Miley_HUD

I was naturally attracted to the green, but blue definitely suits me well, I think.

Miley_018

Ohh, did I mention?  Baby Monkey’s boots have their own colour-change HUD as well!

Aloha and mahalo, my friends!

A Queen for my Heart

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I must admit, Valentine’s Day has never been my favourite occasion.  As a child, waiting to see who would leave you little paper notes and treats: were they hastily scribbled or carefully written?  And as we grow older, it only becomes more laden with drama.   But what’s else should we expect for a holiday commemorating a Chicago gangland massacre?

Put aside your wary eye: Blue Moon Enterprises has something to make you smile for this Valentine’s Day.  Solas brings us the Queen of Hearts, a beautiful regal mesh gown and collar, perfect for the ball.

QueenofHearts_001

As with all of Blue Moon’s work, the attention to detail is exquisite.  The embroidery on the front panel is luxurious, and I love the detail on the sleeves, particularly the laces.
 QueenofHearts_003Queen of Hearts is all mesh, and comes in five sizes.  Ohhh, yes, and it won’t even dent the royal treasury: this priceless Queen is Blue Moon’s free gift to you for the month of February!QueenofHearts_004

You’ll need a good updo to work with the high collar.  Plenty of pins, please!

QueenofHearts_006_e

Slip the collar off, and a gown suited for a queen takes on a softer look.  I’ve also added the necklace that matches my earrings, from Two Sisters Treasures.  The For Her Heart set was a group gift at that point, and does not appear to be available for sale currently, but it’s been one of my favourites, and a definite go-to.

QueenofHearts_011

I particularly like that the hearts, while present, are somewhat understated (at least, by my eye).  It’s not limited to February wear!

Perhaps I might get to like V-Day after all.  All the same, I think I’ll avoid urban alleys this month.

Whoever you share this holiday with – that special woman, man, partner, friend, cat, dog, I wish you happiness!

And the Queen for my Heart?  Of her there should be no doubt.

Aloha, my friends!
