Shining

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my fine friends!  I like to do something a bit risqué or otherwise fun on the weekends, so let me show you one of my favourites for special occasions.  R2 Fashion A/D/E is the place to go to for your transparent latex fashion needs!  I know Jaz has shown some to you, and I have shown some in the past as well.  This is Baika, and it comes in three separate pieces (jacket, bra & panty set, and boots).  There are six different colours, so you can mix and match if you like, or go thematic.  I really loved the gold!

  • R2 Fashion A/D/E — Baika Jacket, Bra & Panty set, and boots (sold as three separate pieces) (Maitreya only) (6 colours
  • Evelock — Celtic Sheaf Fire Opal Necklace & Earings
  • Elven Isles — Golden wings earcuffs
  • *Eternal Dream* — Winter Spirit 02 pose

I don’t know how R2 does it, but they have gotten the materials down to a science.  The gloss on the transparent bits as well as the shine on the metallic ones are exquisite.  It’s hard to imagine how they could be improved upon.

The one drawback, perhaps, is that R2 works in Maitreya fitmesh only.  If you’re a Maitreya user, then you’re in luck!  If not… I fear not so much.  As most of R2’s items have significant transparent features, use of alpha zones is not really an option.

If you are a Maitreya wearer, you owe it to yourself to stop by R2 Fashion A/D/E and take a look around.  You’re sure to find something tantalising!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

It’s winter, so a sweater dress is just the thing!  This is in sizes for all major mesh bods.  Although this is Lara fitmesh, it does have a clipping problem around the hem with the legs.  But as it was a freebie, I can never complain too much!

That 70’s look

blue LotD

As Jaz said, sometimes you find mix’n’match stuff that somehow seems destined to go together.

We had a 70’s soul music thing at Eden yesterday, and this is what I put together to wear to the event!

I’m not going to detail sizes for you today, as I got both the shirt and jeans quite some time ago, but as they are both Lara fitmesh, you can probably guess the other sizes available.

Unlike Jazzy’s outfit yesterday, the jeans clip the shirt in one tiny location on the left hip, but I’d challenge anyone to notice this and call it out, even dancing.

And the hair, OMG!  I got this at this year’s Hair Fair and promptly filed it in my “Misc/Weird” hair folder, thinking I’d never have a reason to wear it.  But does it work well with a 70’s look?  You bet it does 🙂

Sometimes you see an item over here, and then later you see see another item over there, and you say, “Oooo I wonder if those would work together… and more importantly, actually fit together without mesh pokies.” Fortunately such was the case here, where I had originally seen the high-waisted leather legging appliers from Indyra and thought “Those are just begging for some sort of short-waist coat…” And lo and behold a few days later I find the perfect candidate in the Eclipse Design Nemo jacket!

The coat is nicely detailed with mesh bits, coming in five colors, along with six interior shirt colors and an option to turn the coat tails on or off. It is available for the major mesh bodies.

The Aziza high waist appliers include an edgy retro inspired top along with a pair of glossy high-waisted leggings. It was the leggings that caught my eye, both for the high waist part (very hard to find!) and the great fold detail, particularly at the knees. Aziza is available in a fatpack & in single colors and appliers are included for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink & TMP.

This is an ensemble that will really show you mean business!

Oh wait… you said you really just wanted to see the car???

Well there ya go! 😀

Now if you will pardon me, I have to catch someone before they leave! Cheers!

I really enjoy wandering about a snowy outdoor market, and the Okinawa Winter Festival 2018 is off to a beautiful start!  I got to wander around the market, and fell in love with the beautiful Rachel coat from EXiA!

Rachel comes in five lovely colours and each has red and white options for the bow,  holly (or not), and solid or plaid at the coat bottom.  Rachel feels so very fun and warm and festive — it’s the perfect thing to wander about in the falling snow!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!

Close to Santa time?

blue LotD

Christmas is getting close.  I’m resisting doing Advent calendars this year as I still have unopened stuff from last year, if you can believe that!

This outfit was a gift from the Shop Till You Drop event in December last year (OMG inventory cleanout time, am I right?)  The skirt and tank top are one piece, with the jacket separate.  Most sizes are covered.  The tights are included as system layers and appliers.

There’s also a Santa hat and curly toed boots, but it’s not that close to Christmas yet 🙂

And another prior one, this time a hunt item from Brii Underground.  I told you about these L$6 hunt items!  How worth it were they?

Rather funny, we did a grunge thing a couple of weeks ago, and this would have just been perfect for it 🙂

But I unpacked it too late as you can see.  It has the shirt and shorts as one piece, in all the usual sizes.  The bra and socks are included as system layers, plus Maitreya, Slink, and Omega appliers.  And you get the boots as well!

It also has a Catwa makeup, but as usual, it’s hardly a great look for a redhead, so I’m not wearing it.  But for L$6, don’t you think, a bargain?  Yes!

This is a prior group gift from Julia’s Scandal.  The group is FREE to join and there are a bunch of prior group gifts available.

The top and skirt are one piece and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Hourglass, and Physique.

The outfit also comes with a three color HUD that lets you texture the top and skirt separately.  The wrinkles in the skirt are nicely done, as is the attention to detail on the seams.

Gothic kemono

blue LotD

Even after four and a half years in SL, sometimes an event comes up that requires clothing you either just don’t have, or what you have, you’re not happy with.  Yesterday at Eden, we had a best in gothic look contest, and while I had something picked out from my outfits list to wear to the event, it didn’t have a skin applier for my mesh head (which I’ve grown rather attached to 🙂 ) so I couldn’t update the outfit to include my head.  So, right at the last minute, I though “I wonder if I can do a goth kemono?”

I found this wonderful little lace trimmed dress on marketplace for only L$149, so I grabbed it, and then sort of struggled with skin and head appliers for the kemono too, until I remembered the MicroMeow 🙂

This dress is only for the Busty fitted torso from Starbright, but as usual with kemono clothing, comes with both UV and AO maps and it’s modify, so you can make your own textures for it.

I paired it with the standard kemono gloves and boots, and for the event I wore the hair that comes with the MicroMeow.  But I found this hair that suits the gothic look even better for the photo shoot!

And as a bonus, the dress comes material enabled too!
