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!

Mix and Match 3

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Sometimes inspiration strikes from any old place. I was out and about furniture shopping and came across a sign in the store with a picture of a dress I really thought was pretty. I IM’d the store owner to ask what is was and she kindly told me. It was called The Bridal Gown from Dead Dollz, and what particularly appealed to me was the lace overdress. So I bought the dress and took that part and start building around it.

As being all lace it was already see through, and rather revealing at the top, I add a set of flower modesty covers for top and bottom, also from Dead Dollz, which matched the lace overdress pattern nicely. To this I added a set of flexi sleeves from one of my favorite gowns, the Bianca from FlowerDreams.

Rounding it out was a pair of nice lace applier gloves and of course my favorite boots, the Gothic Lolita’s from Candy Kitten.

So let your inspiration soar – be inspired by something in your inventory and start mixing it up with other bits and pieces and see what you can create! Cheers!

The last of summer

blue LotD

It’s really the end of summer.  The autumnal equinox has come and gone, and nights are getting longer.  Here’s a final summer mix and match for you…

These two pieces were from two separate hunts over the season.  Both come in a range of sizes to fit major mesh bodies.

And oh!  I forgot the other day was the blog’s birthday!  We are three years old, and this year has seen us bring our friend Jaz on board as a blogger.  She has done some lovely posts for us over the last couple of months.  For three years, we haven’t missed a day, do you believe that?  We’ve done over 1170 posts, and there are more to come!  I hope we’ve highlighted some outfits that you’ve had fun chasing down and wearing.  Happy birthday us!

Here’s another free look for the kemono (at least the kemono specific clothes are free 🙂 )

It’s really interesting that the kemono can fit into a lot of my mesh hairstyles with hardly any modification at all.  It turns out that as my human shape was only just a few inches taller that the default kemono shape that came with the busty torso, I hardly had to tweak anything.

Now the free stuff 🙂

The top and jeans are both available on the marketplace for L$0.  The top comes only in one size to fit the busty torso, but has both a materials and non-materials (shown) version.

The jeans are super for a freebie!  They come with a multitude of sizes including both animal and human legs, and a few other mods I’ve not even heard of yet (hey, this is my third kemono post hehe).  The pack also contains a top for multiple torso versions, but it’s sort of bright orange, which doesn’t go really well with my hair, so you get the other top 🙂

The ears are Bento enabled and flick around with a super cute animation, although it does stick, so I wrote a reset script to drop into them to keep the animation going.  Contact me if you want a copy.  They are really fox ears, but work really well for a feline character.  They were also free at an in-world location.

And the eye mods are just fantastic.  I’ve been looking for some eyes to replace the standard ones that come with the avi, and these were available on the marketplace, again for L$0.  w00t!

The rest of this outfit I had (the hair, the tail, and the whiskers).  Of these, only the whiskers were free.

Denim & Lace

A really quick post for you!  This was a win from Artic Storm’s MM board a few days ago!

The dress is in sizes for Lara, TMP, Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Pulpy, Slim, Hourglass, and Physique.  It comes with a HUD with six colors for the dress, and the dress is materials enabled as well, with a nice bump map highlighting the embroidery at the front.  The lace at the back is, well… wicked.

Captured in the Net

Jaz Events, Fashion, Reviews

I came across this lovely net top at the Liaison Collaborative event, and just squeaked it in to the blog – the event is only through the 26th so don’t wait on this one!

I am not generally a fan of the off-the-shoulder look but this one, Aly by Baiastice, just seemed to work really well to me. It comes in 12 colors, with and without the bra, plus a fat pack with four additional colors and the ability to mix and match the bra colors.

The see through of the net is really nicely done and gives this top a fun summery look.

And of course… the bra is optional… if you’re feeling a little daring with that net look…

Is it cold in here or is it just me? 😉 Cheers!

Hair Fair 2018

blue Events

Hair Fair is one of my absolute favorite events of the SL year!  There lots and lots of new hairstyles to look at, and a lot of the creators are very generous with free (or nearly free) gifties!

Here are photos of nearly all the gift hairstyles available this year.  When you go, don’t forget to buy a bandana to support Wigs for Kids, and hopefully you’ll support the creators by grabbing some of their for sale hairstyles too!  Specific percentages of each sale also go to Wigs for Kids, so this is a perfect time to update your look and help out a fabulous charity.

Hair Fair 2018 runs from today until the 7th of October.  Don’t miss out!

All the hairstyles are available for no more than L$1 at the event.  Here’s a list of most of the creator’s stores:
