I’m not sure where I got this skirted swimsuit but it’s really nice! I have a sneaking suspicion someone gave it to me 🙂
It’s only in fitmesh for Lara and the fit is super good, you can easily wear it with no alphas at all. And the reason for my suspicion about where I got it is it’s only available in a gacha in the store, and I very very rarely play gachas. There are a number of different colors and a couple of rares with additional cute bows.
I love the heart cutout 🙂
I really like one piece swimsuits and this is a wonderful addition to my collection!
Hello lovelies! Today I have a fantastic Midnight Madness win to show you from Etchaflesh!
The skirt and top are separates (but although they aren’t “connected”, the sleeves are part of the top) and can be worn on their own. Considering they both have 20 color HUDS allowing you to texture different parts of the item, you could match them with anything. The skirt HUD has options for the waistband and the skirt, while the top’s HUD has options for the main top, the sleeves (which can also be made invisible), and the lacing at the back. Super versatile!
I’m wearing this olive and green combo, but there is everything from monos to pinks, blues, browns, and reds, so you can be eye-catching as you like!
The outfit comes in fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Physique, and Hourglass. There are no standard sizes. Oh, and how about this cute cutout and bow and the back? 🙂
Blue’s been showing a number of free gifties from Canimal lately, so I thought I’d better get my favourite one in! Mercury is a beautiful two-piece Maitreya Lara fitmesh outfit that comes complete with a lovely 15-texture HUD.
Canimal — Mercury top & skirt (one-piece, with texture HUD)
EarthStones — Tumbled Stones (Night) earrings and bracelet
The top is really adorable with the belly tie and a cute little peter-pan collar and cuffs. But…. are you really *sure* this is going to put my atoms all back in the right order on the other side?
I don’t usually talk about the poses I feature, but that top one (Flight 15) is from a lovely new pose shop that I recently discovered. Poseidon Poses features a lot of action poses, particularly action-hero and fantasy poses. They’re really quite remarkably done, you’ll see some more of their work from me in the future.
Canimal has a lovely wall of free gifties, so stop on by and take a look!
I am so excited to share the latest offering from Nickki at Island Style Designs with you! Nickki has created a gorgeous swimsuit and pareo combo with a fantastic shiny metallic texture.
In the daylight, it looks like this: (note: advanced lighting and materials must be enabled!)
Island Style Designs — Metal Super Shiny Resort Wear One-Piece Swimsuit and Pareo
The outfit is fitmesh, and comes rigged for Maitreya, both SLink, all three Belleza bodies, both EVE bodies, TMP, and Altamura. The strapless suit features some lovely pink lacing in the back, and a subtle green/red/yellow shading for the floral pattern.
Where this suit and pareo really shine (so to speak) is in the dark with some interesting lighting effects. I waded into the water with my pareo still on, and added a little extra lighting to make the suit really shine. You can see the lights really reflected in the suit.
I really loved the pareo, but did finally take it off to just show the suit on its own. It’s somewhat lower cut at the hips, giving a lovely slightly retro feel and look.
We’ve seen body-specific fitmesh explode into SL, and while there has been a lot of materials-enabled textures, we haven’t seen lots of reflective clothing. This is gorgeous, and is sure to be an attention-getter at parties.
Stop on by the new Island Style Designs and take a look today! Mahalo! A hui hou!
Here’s another group gift from Canimal. Canimal is FREE to join, and there are nine, yes nine, really nice group gifts available at the store, this one included!
The dress is fitmesh for Lara only, and comes with a nine color HUD so you can (at least in my case) find a color to suit your hair 🙂
The rigging is well done, and I didn’t notice any issues. It uses the auto-alpha feature for Lara, and depending on what pose you’re in, you may have to un-alpha a little, as the hem is right on an alpha cut boundary. Other than that, it’s a great little mini!
More lingerie 🙂 I seem to be coming across a fair few free undies recently!
This set is separate top and bottoms so you can mix and match. There are fitmesh sizes for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, TMP, Physique, and Hourglass. And it comes with a HUD that allows you to color the top and bottoms separately. There are five colors in a crosshatched texture, and a white with pink hearts, and these can also be made semi-sheer. Additionally, there is the lace hearts texture that I’m wearing, in the same five colors, plus a bonus color!
Although this is fitmesh, there is minor clipping at the hips of the panties, but as usual, this is probably only noticeable in extreme poses like the ones in my photo pose stand 🙂
All in all, another wonderful little ensemble, and a chance to show off a hairstyle that’s been hiding in my inventory for ages!
Happy Aloha Friday, my lovely friends! I know, pink normally isn’t my thing, but my wonderful friend Ems got me this lovely dusty rose dress for my rez-day, and I just had to share it with you. 🙂
I really really love the lacey detail work on the bodice. It’s perfectly done, and appears to be actual mesh as opposed to a texture done on a mesh panel. The edges of the lace appear to curl up!
Okay, let’s start by saying I am NOT promoting anything that I’m wearing today. 🙂
I was going on a bit of an inventory cleaning binge, and threw this out as I was getting rid of lots of old and unworn stuff… but then went back and retrieved it. It’s sort of perfect timing — I’ve been in SL for four years now… and it’s rather amazing. I know, many of you might have been here much longer than that, and that’s all right — I know you’ve seen more.
From the progress we’ve made, four years is a apparently a long time in SL. It feels like forever, and no time at all.
So I was cleaning out my inventory, and stumbled on this purple butterflies outfit. It’s the oldest outfit I have, not quite four years old, but probably only a couple months shy of it. Standard layers, with mesh bits for the sleeve cuffs. Even the shirt collar is just textured on the standard layer. For the record, I have those heels in three different colours and they’re still my favourite style of heels in SL!
We probably all have these hiding in our inventories, in our wardrobes… and we put it on and go “EEEEK DON’T LOOK, I’M HIDEOUS!”
I know I did. I’m mostly embarrassed with how… grumpy… I feel that I looked!
But on second thought, I stopped… you know, this was me. I was so proud and happy of this. I splurged on SLink feet shortly after getting into SL, and some nice mid shoes, and if I recall correctly, the hair. WOW, does that hair not play well with background alphas! But I still love this outfit… I would die for it in fitmesh!
It’s amazing, right now, to think “I was so proud of how I looked”… and to think how far we’ve come, even in just four years.
There are a lot of times we look at SL and say “dammit, SL, why can’t you fix this problem, or that problem”… but it’s important, too, to look and say “Thanks, SL, for adding this… for expanding this… for creating this”.
Thanks, SL, for giving me four happy years. Thanks, my friends, for walking with me through this little venture.
