Autumn Faerie

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

I go to a lot of events and often discover someone new (for me) with just the right thing. The Leaves of Time faerie outfit by Trinity is a delightful set of… well, leaves! But it exudes just the right air of happy (and sexy) fae-ness. The set includes the top, bottom, arm vines, and leg vines, along with a bonus shirt that covers a little bit more that shown here.

Leaves of Time comes with an eight color HUD of various fall colors, and each of the parts of the outfit can be colored separately. I found the set provides the perfect foundation for adding in lots of fun detail items with an autumn motif.

Come dance through the forest with me, dear friends! Cheers!

Cheetah mod

blue LotD

A while ago, I did some pro photography for Catseye store owner Catty.  She gave me a gift card in appreciation.  At the time, I had no intention of getting a Kemono, but after I did, I remembered that Aeon had the gift card, and asked her if there was any credit left on it, as Catty does some Kemono mods!

This is her cheetah mod (yes, the card had just enough credit hehe)

Catty usually gives you a lot of options with her creations, and this is no exception.  You have appliers for the Kemono head in the standard look (shown) or a girly look which has pink lippie instead of black.  There are appliers for the M3 Anime head, the M3 Venus head, and appliers for female, male, and femboy looks for the Kemono body.

Also included are the ears, and two versions of the tail – a flexi version (shown) and a rigged version that’s wrapped around your leg, which is perfect for dancing when you don’t want to whack you partner with your tail all night long lol!

The skin is really nicely done.  In the pic above, you can see the contrast between the inner and outer legs, and that extends to the feet and hands too, which you can see below.  A wonderful piece of work from Catty!

Hallowe’en is one of the busiest times for SL parties.  Eden will be no exception this year, and I’m sure we’ll do at least two themed parties – a funny one and a scary one.

This dress is a group gift from Safira, and I’ll bet it gets a run at one of the parties 🙂  The Safira group is FREE to join, and there are a number of past group gifts available.  The dress comes in fitmesh sizes for Lara and Hourglass only.

It also has a HUD to switch the skeleton from stark white (shown) to just the barest outlines.  It also lets you switch the skirt between black and white lace.  A really fun outfit that I’m guessing will be a hit where ever I wear it!

The Stuff Group (as in Womenstuff, Menstuff, etc) have a sim wide hunt on at the moment with a Hallowe’en theme.  This dress is one of the hunt items!

This fit is Maitreya Experimental, which I assume means the creator is not licensed from Maitreya, but they seem to have got the rigging pretty spot on anyway.  Other fits are Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.  The dress also comes with a seven color HUD for the solid fabric (the lace is always black).

I added a bunch of decoration to get the look detailed below.  Just a warning, do not buy the ear to nose chain unless you are an accomplished builder.  It’s made from micro-prims and you will have to edit them to get them to fit your face.  This is super frustrating unless you have plenty of experience using the build tools (it’s frustrating even if you have experience 🙂 )

Fantasy Flair

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Sometimes you find outfits that are simply gorgeous but are not necessarily practical to wear out and about. Such is the case with my two offerings here from Moon Amore, the Midnight Illusion Cinderella gown and the Angelic Souls gothic lolita outfit. Both feature stunning designs that appear to float on the wind, making for some stunning pictures. Alas, as they are static mesh pieces, they also do not actually float and thus bounce around as you stand with your AO on or when walking. But they look pretty! And thus I had to take some pictures with them for you. 🙂

The Midnight Illusion gown comes in five colors, in a single mesh size, so one needs to play around a bit to make sure it will fit. I was able to successfully fit it to my Maitreya body. And of course I am waiting here for my true love to cross the bridge to me…

  • Dress: Midnight Illusion Gown by Moon Amore
  • Gloves: Long Bento Gloves by L’Emporio in 30 colors
  • Jewelry: Leah earrings and Betsy necklace by Avaway,  Magic necklace by Swallow
  • Hair: Mayumi3 by D!va
  • Pose: The Bella Series – Three by An Lar

The Angelic Souls outfit looks just the thing for the damsel dashing through the magic forest! Available in two colors (white and black) for Maitreya.

  • Dress: Angelic Souls by Moon Amore
  • Boots: Candy Lolita by Candy Kitten
  • Earrings: Lollipop Guild by Violet Voltaire  (Marketplace link)
  • Hair: Haruka by Argrace (sadly no longer available, as Argrace has retired nearly all of their hair)
  • Pose: Sexy 06 by Aeon Animations  (Marketplace link)

Ready for a little fantasy in your day my friends? Cheers!

OK, Autumn

Enough with the beach photos already Blue!  It’s Autumn!

I do lots of hunts looking for outfits to show you lovely readers.  A lot of hunts are themed, and you know, after I get around to photographing half a dozen items, and other other distractions (squirrel!), sometimes, you come to photograph the rest and realize that the theme is no longer valid for the time of year.  That’s what happened to me with the Womenstuff Hunt way back in January.  Most of the items in that were fall/winter fashions, and I found myself in the middle of spring when I got around to photographing them.

Well, now it’s autumn again, I can show you a few, even though some may not be available in-world or on marketplace.  At least you can see some of the beautiful clothes you can find on hunts if you just have a little patience and practice with your camera controls.

This sweater and mini skirt combination is for Lara only.  It’s all one piece which is a pity, as the sweater looks good enough to wear over jeans.  And of course, let’s wear some thigh boots to keep our legs warm!

On the run

Aeon Fashion, Gadgets, LotD, Reviews

The Sisters of Eden recently had a cyberpunk-themed party (DJd by our very own Jaz) and I had a lot of fun putting together an outfit that I really wanted to share with you.  This really was a fun outfit, as I assembled it from a variety of bits and pieces!

  • :::SOLE::: — Shinkan glasses (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • :::SOLE::: — Luna Headset (unrigged mesh) (Marketplace link)
  • Profectus — Time Brace
  • Xtra Ordinary — Dragonsuit Top applier and collar from Sith Lady costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Coat from Underworld Deathdealer full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • Xtra Ordinary — Combat belt from Black Widow full costume  (Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Freya/Isis/Venus fitmesh, Omega/Maitreya appliers)
  • [The Forge] — Cypher pants (Oil) (Gacha) (Marketplace Link)
  • Silvan Moon Designs  —  Bento Gloves, exclusive for Fallen Gods Decennial
  • GRAVES — G322 Combat Boots (unrigged mesh)
  • BAXE — Miss China – Gala 2018

I didn’t want to go all Tron-glowy, but cyberpunk does require some supporting gadgets!  I found just the right things at :::Sole:::.  I’m wearing two separate pieces here,  the Luna headset and the Shinkan glasses.  Both have huds for texture and glow, and both are unrigged mesh – so they’re resizable!

The boots were a tricky find — I wanted something that buckled and looked meant for action — not silly oversexed high-heel boots.  But I also needed something that could accommodate the mesh leggings without having surface conflicts (‘peek-through’). Graves’ Combat Boots are just right — with male and female versions so it’s not just a genderless muck boot.

I’m always reminded how much fun it is to assemble an outfit from bits and pieces.  I totally love playing with a role-playing costume like this!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

It’s always summer somewhere

blue LotD

We had a huge bash for the end of summer at Eden on the weekend.  I posted The last of summer the other day, but it’s always summer somewhere in SL, and the party was a perfect excuse to splash out on a new bikini 🙂

When I got the kemono, I found at least one store that stocks clothing items for both the kemono and Lara.  This bikini is by them, and comes with fits for Avatar2.0, Freya, Isis, Physique, Hourglass, as well as kemono Rei, kemono busty torso, and Lara.

 

The fit and rigging is perfect for both bodies.

Here’s another hunt item from the Kiyomizu Autumn Hunt 2018.

This lovely dress strangely only comes in a small standard mesh size.  Perhaps the creator made it specifically for themselves?  However, as I am a standard small, it fits Lara perfectly with a few alphas used.

The dress also displays a really nice use of materials, giving it that beautiful satiny look without going too far.  A really lovely looking dress that’s perfect for a garden party!

I found this interesting dress at the Kiyomizu Autumn Hunt 2018, which runs though until the 8th of October.

The dress comes in standard mesh sizes, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.  As you may have guessed, the sim is Japanese, and not being able to read any, hunting is interesting as you never know what you’re going to get!  Fortunately, this is a FREE hunt, so run and have a look, you may be pleasantly surprised at what you find!
