Amber

This corset style strapped dress was a hunt item from the Womenstuff Hunt this year, and I’m finally getting around to showing it to you three months later!  That’s what happens with 100 stop hunts lol

The dress comes in standard mesh sizes plus body specific fitmesh for classic, Lara, Isis, Venus, Freya, eBody, Physique, Hourglass, TMP, Ocacin, Curvy, and Fine.

I’ve chosen to wear a hairstyle I’ve not shown off before too.  While I love my red hair, there are some colors I just can’t wear with it, and this is one of them 🙂


Sweet Kisses

Today I’m showing you a group gift from NyDesign.  The NyDesign group is FREE to join.

The outfit consists of the top, panties, and pasties in fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.

The top in particular is really well done, with nice materials on the chains that really glitters under lights.  These pictures don’t really do it justice, but I can promise you it’s eye-catching!

The outfit comes with a three texture HUD that allows you to texture each piece separately.


Bohemian Inspiration

Aloha, my lovely friends!  I was visiting the latest round of Inspiration and found this wonderful maxiskirt and top from ***ArisArisB&W that I just had to share with you!

Rhapsody features maxi skirt and top separates with a six-texture HUD.  The textures may be chosen independently, so you can take matching top & bottom or different to suit your mood and tastes!

Rhapsody comes in fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya Lara, all three Belleza, TMP, and both Tonic bodies, so it’s sure to fit you!

Normally I’m not a huge fan of mesh maxiskirts in-world — they generally just don’t dance well — but this one is gorgeous, and ***ArisArisB&W did a fantastic job with the mesh: it dances pretty nicely, provided you don’t kick your legs up too high!

Inspiration‘s theme this round is Boho, so stop by and take a look around: find some new ideas for spring!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Bik

A really quick post for you before I rush off to RL today.

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

The texturing is really nice, and the fit is good too.  These were available on the Glam or Grunge Hunt, that has finished (should have posted earlier Blue).

Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!

Kerryth at Spyralle has turned ten, and the presents are for you!  For a VERY limited time, Kerryth offers Coelis, a beautiful gown in purple to her group!  If that wasn’t all, nearly every purple item at Spyralle is on sale for 50% off!

EarthStonesPlayful Dolphins works really well with this gown, and the choice of stones is perfect: the mother-of-pearl matches the buttons on the gown wonderfully.

Coelisis available in fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya, TMP, Belleza Venus, and a standard fitmesh.  I really love the lace panel and buttons at the front!

Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!  Congratulations on ten years of orbits about the SecondLife Sun, and thanks for sharing your art with us!  For the rest of us, hurry on out to Spyralle!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Wet look

If you’re into such things, this dress is the ultimate wear for a wet teeshirt competition, although I think the idea would be to wear your hair at the back 🙂

This dress comes in classic mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for classic avis and body specific fits for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Curvy, and Fine.

While this is fitmesh, there are some clipping issues around the thighs (maybe I should eat a salad?) and as the dress is so transparent, you can’t employ alphas to hide them.

  • Body: Lara by Maitreya
  • Face: Jennifer by GA.EG
  • Hands: Slink Dynamic
  • Boots: from 4th July gift by Ydea (omg these are old, but are still really good boots!)
  • Hair: Stone Cold Seduction by Exile
  • Undies: Bonus White Thong by insanya

Osiris

Not only is Osiris the ancient Egyptian God of the Dead and ruler of the Underworld, but he was also the god of resurrection and fertility.  Talk about lots of responsibility!

This dress is a group gift from Canimal, which is FREE to join.  The dress only comes in fitmesh for Lara, and being named for Osiris, must be in black (but it does come with an eleven color texture HUD hehe).

There are a couple of minor clipping issues with the collar, but most won’t be noticeable dancing, which is what I’m intending to do in this outfit today!


Have a shiny Aloha Friday!

I shared a beautiful new reflective swimsuit and pareo from Island Style Designs a few weeks ago.  Nickki’s been hard at work, and created new textures for the suit, packaging it with a long sarong and matching shoes, and it’s perfect for your Aloha Friday!

I’m not generally a fan of platforms, but these are perfect with this outfit, having the same metallic texture, so I thought I’d show them off.  They come in sizes for SLink, Maitreya, and TMP feet.

The suit and sarong are sized for Maitreya, SLink Physique, and all three Belleza bodies.  Yay!

This uses the same basic mesh as the Metal Resort Wear from the previous post.  It’s a fairly modest cut at the legs (modest for SL!).  The texture really is quite lovely with advanced lighting and reflections turned on, and has to be seen in action to really be appreciated.  So, take a look at the video!

I took a bit of a selfie here for a friend, but it shows off the beautiful purple agate and silver Sea Turtle jewelry from Luminesse.

Nickki is working hard on new styles and new textures, please visit the all-new Island Style Designs and take a look today!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Dotty

I’ve gone dotty!

These super fun stockings with their lacy trims and dots are a group gift from MAAI.  MAAI is FREE to join!

The stockings are for Lara only, and come only in a high pose (you don’t need to wear your feet).  They have a 17 texture HUD with lots and lots of dots 🙂

Baileys Norge

There are some sim builders who just get it right.  I’m always impressed by realism in SL, and Baileys Norge has it in spades.

I only had a short time to take these photos, so I cammed rather than walked to the locations.  I will certainly be going back for a closer look in the coming days.

The attention to detail is really noticeable, including touches like mist over the water.  On our land I wanted a light beam through the trees (aka a “God ray”).  But I didn’t want it static, I wanted it to track the sun (I eventually wrote the script for this after a lot of experimentation, as I was just learning the capabilities of LSL at the time).  Features like the mist on the water make me think things like “How can I script it so the mist appears to burn off when the sun rises?” 😉
