Hello sweets!

This dress is in classic sizes, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Freya, Isis, Venus, Curvy, Fine, Pulpy, Slim, and TMP.

It also comes with a 25 texture HUD with 5 patterns and 20 plains.

Can you tell I was in a hurry to write this post?!?


A Bit of Boho

It’s still summer, still time to be a bit Bohemian and casual… and here are three outfits designed to do just that.

For a light and casual feel one can try out the Rhapsody top and skirt combo available from ArisArisB&W, which comes in six colors of pretty floral patterns with a HUD. The top features cute tassel trim along the hem of the top. Fits are provided for all major mesh bodies.

  • Top and Skirt: Rhapsody by ArisArisB&W
  • Jewerlry: Leah earrings and Georgia armlets by AvaWay; Peace Love and Harmony Bracelets by Earthstones
  • Hair: Hadeya and Lamar by Catwa
  • Pose: The Elena Series – Two by an lar

For a little darker, somewhat rich velvety look, good choices are items from Oubliette, including the Burnout Velvet Kimono top and Brujah Maxi skirt.

The top is available in five individual colors and includes an optional shirt in six colors. The skirt is available in six individual colors. There are also fat packs for both pieces, and fits for all the major mesh bodies are included.

Mixing and matching things is always something I love to do, and here is a fun example of that. The main parts of the ensemble are from the Arwen gacha set from Giz Seorn, available at the current Epiphany event. It consists of a lovely blouse, a bikini bottom (each available in thirteen colors, plus three rare colors for the top), and a gypsy belt and a gypsy necklace, each available in three colors. The outfit is Maitreya only, and while the components are available on Marketplace from resellers, those rare tops with the pretty patterns run some hefty Lindens. So if you are fond of gachas you may want to run over to Epiphany while you can and try your luck! I matched the Arwen set with flexi skirts from Caverna Obscura’s Starlight outfit, which while quite beautiful as it’s own outfit, made the perfect compliment to the Arwen gypsy look.

  • Top, Bikini, Belt, and Necklace: Arwen by Giz Seorn (gacha item at Epiphany)
  • Skirt: Starlight – Midnight by Caverna Obscura
  • Jewelry: Gypsy necklace and earrings by Earthstones; Boho ring collection by *KATE*
  • Hair: Haku by Argrace
  • Pose: shepherdess 3 by Axix

Come light a little incense with me, and I shall tell your fortune from the cards, my sweet friends! Cheers!

I’m doing well on MM boards this week!

This daring little dress was another win on an MM board.  It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, Fine, TMP, and fitmesh for standard sizes.

It’s only in this purple and teal mix, but oh my, those colors are a perfect match for my hair!


Mix n match

Hello lovey reader!  Today, I have two MM gifts to show you that I won on the same day, and they go really well together!

My top is by WellMade, and it features a ten color HUD to change the leather texture.  I’ve chosen this dark purple color to match the skirt, but there is white, red, three browns, pink, black, and dark green and blue too.  The top has classic fitmesh sizes, and specific body fitmesh for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, and eBody.

My skirt is from an MM board at JR Wolf.  I just missed out on this the other day but managed to get on the winning board yesterday!  It too comes with a multi texture HUD, with this pattern, two stars patterns, and a solid black.  Fits for this include Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, Fine, and TMP.

And just so you know, I do occasionally buy things 🙂  I got a couple of pairs of mid height heels the other day, and I’m wearing one pair with this (and they’re awesome, with a 40 color HUD for three different parts of the shoe, so they will go with anything!  Can’t have too many shoes!)


Bab’s

Hello lovely readers, today I have another hunt item to show you from Around The Grid in 80 Days.

The top and shorts are separates and come in fitmesh sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, TMP, Curvy, Fine, Hourglass, Physique, and eBody.

The pattern on the shorts is lots of fun, and the top is nicely done too.  The shadows under the arms is a little too much if you lift your arms however.  Never mind, just don’t pose with your arms behind your head lol.

Hello sweets!  I have a lovely little body suit to show you today that I got from a Midnight Mania board!  Just a reminder about most of what I show you?  Most of this is FREE!

The outfit comes in fitmesh sizes for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass only, and it has a three color HUD (the other two are black and red).  The chains on the front are particularly well done as they are individual mesh links and not just a texture.

I probably should call this a half body suit – the back is missing 🙂


Leader of the Band

Well, I have been told I beat to the sound of my own drum…

Today let me show you some cute fantasy outfits with wonderful detailing. Often it is those mesh details that really sell an outfit and make it unique. First up is a great little uniform outfit from Cureless called Rose Duelist, which gives new meaning to the term hourglass figure. In addition to its cute shape, it includes nifty pauldrons with looped cords and a HUD with seven colors for the jacket and separate color options for the collar frill, jacket borders, pocket, underskirt, lapel rose, jewels, cuff base, cuff frills, cuff borders, pauldron jewels, pauldron braids, and the included shorts. Goodness that is a lot of options!

I’ve paired the outfit with a highly detailed pair of boots from C & S called Rubby, which come with a 40-color HUD, along with five metal options. The laces can also be in any of the 40 colors. The boots can be worn as thigh-high as shown here, or the top portion can be removed for a mid-calf look. (I should note that the mesh for this boot is not exclusive to C&S; if you are particularly interested in black, I found a pair of the same boots from Ghee, with a more limited HUD of six colors but a much richer looking leather texture to them.)

  • Outfit: Rose Duelist Uniform by Cureless
  • Boots: Rubby Boots by C&S
  • Hair: Haku by Argrace
  • Pose: The Bella Series – Three by an lar

When it comes to detailing, one of the absolute best is Zenith, who have created a spectacular steampunk ensemble in eight colors. The leggings with the belt-purse are available from their main store; the corset top was a recent event release at We Love Role Play and is not yet in the store but hopefully soon! The perfect matching boots for this outfit were my favorite Xulia’s from FashionNatic.

  • Outfit: Steampunk Corset Armor and Steampunk Waist Pack with Leggings by Zenith
  • Gloves: Criminal Police by Zenith (a gacha item)
  • Boots: Xulia Boots by FashionNatic
  • Hair: Haku by Argrace
  • Jewelry: Ladies Key by Earthstones
  • Pose: Candy Pose 1 by K&S

This last outfit is another extremely versatile dress, which was released by Eliavah for an event and has not yet made it into her in-world or Marketplace stores but is worth waiting for when she does. Everbloom is a sweet corset-style dress  with two HUDs having 33 colors plus 8 metallic shades, with separate color sections for the shirt, corset, skirt top, skirt bottom, and ribbons. I’ve matched it with the Candy Lolita Boots from Candy Kitten which comes in twelve colors via a HUD with separate color sections for the boots, bows, laces, socks, and garters.

Let’s go marching together, my sweet friends! Cheers!


Another one piece

Wow, am I lucky 🙂  Around the Grid in 80 Days is on at the moment, and the first thing I unpacked from it was this one piece swim suit (and you know I love them)!

The swimsuit comes in standard mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine.  It also has a HUD to change the solid color side of the suit to one of six colors.  The other half is full of some landmark icons from around the world.  All in all, a fun little suit!

Again, the back is very cheeky (rather, hardly there at all!)

Hello, sweets!  This is another group gift available from Safira.  Their group is FREE to join and there are a number of gifts available.

The halter dress comes in Sky (worn), Berry, Black, and Rose, and is fitted for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass.

Today I’m also sporting a new hairstyle from Monso.  It’s non-rigged mesh, and includes a HUD with eight shades of red, and the same shades with roots and ombre coloring.  You can also resize it via the HUD and enable or disable materials.  You may have noticed I really like Zuyu from them (I wear it all the time).  I decided I better find something shorter so I can show off the back of outfits more easily lol.

I was helping our multi-talented friend Jaz set up some decorations for an event at Eden, and I liked what she’d built so much I decided to use it as a backdrop 🙂

Hi there lovelies!  I have a group gift to show you from ViSion today!  I got this a while ago, but I’ve just checked, and it’s still available in-store.  ViSion in FREE to join!

This mini dress comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass, and as part of the dress there is a set of panties too.  There is also a separate top without the dress so you could match this with your favorite skirt or jeans.  Included is a HUD with 34 plain colors!  You can change the colors of the panties separately (22 colors) or you can hide the panties via the HUD if you’d rather wear something else.

This peach color is really nice, and it shows up the mesh details on the dress nicely in my photographs.  The fabric wrinkles are really well done, particularly at the hip.
