Leathers

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

We had a fun little leather competition the other day, and I finally splurged on a set of leather chaps I’ve had my eye on for ages.  With a couple of sploder wins and other things recently I thought it was a good excuse to buy them.  Then of course I had to find a motorcycle sim to photograph them 🙂

Ana Markova New Year’s gift

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Ana Markove makes some lovely things.  I’ve been a group member for ages.  This is a very generous gift for her group’s members.  The dress is fitmesh in the standard sizings plus fitmesh versions for Maitreya and Belleza.  Wonderful!

The group is L$100 to join, but you’d be hard pressed to find a quality dress like this on the marketplace for less that a couple of hundred, so it’s well worth it in my opinion.

BF Angel Wing Tattoo

blue Products

bf angel wing tattoo

Second Life gives you the opportunity to do things you really wouldn’t do in Real Life.  I’d never get this tattoo in RL, but ohh it looks nice in SL!  This is one of the first things I made in SL, and I’m still happy with it and wear it a lot with goth outfits and so forth.  The tattoo is supplied on upper system clothing layers and comes with an Omega applier for most mesh bodies.

They are available at the marketplace for a guaranteed low low price.  What will they mean to you? Beauty, grace, flight, freedom? Perhaps to remind you that you have someone watching over you? Or you are someone’s angel?

GeMyles SLF&O January Group Gift

With more generosity from GeMyles, today I’m showing you the January group gift from them for Second Life Frees & Offers group members.  The dress is in the standard mesh sizings, and here I am wearing it easily on the Lara mesh body.

SLF&O is FREE to join.

Winter Pullover

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Back to winter, here’s another wonderful little present from under the tree at Maitreya Gift, Sales & News group.  This lovely pullover will certainly keep me warm all winter.  It comes in six standard size fitmeshes from XXS to L and fitmesh for Maitreya and Belleza.  Also included is a HUD with some texture and colour options.

My unopened folder is overflowing!

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

This year, I tried to limit myself to advent boards that hand out presents for either the 12 days of Christmas or the 25 days leading up to it, as last year I ended up with so much stuff, I still haven’t opened some of it!  I was careful to pick and choose from a few select stores, including Chop Zuey and a couple of other favourites.  However, someone today reminded me that there were 25 gifts for the Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News group still available.  Silly Blue went and got all 25!

So over the next few days, I will show you some of them, starting with this gorgeous lace number from Pin Up.

There are system layers and appliers for Maitreya, Belleza, and Omega.

Red lace bodysuit

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Another outfit found under the Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News group’s tree, this bodysuit comes with system layers and Maitreya and Omega appliers (and maybe a couple more that I deleted?)  It seems as everyone is slowly adopting Omega anyway, so that’s the one I’m always looking for.  Even the latest Slink releases support Omega.  I think the only holdout is The Mesh Project.  Stop blathering Blue and get on with the pics 🙂

The Sweetest Kiss

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

What better for the New Year than an elegant offering from Dressed by Lexi.  Lexi features some of the most amazing gowns that I’ve found in SL, and at fantastic prices.  Today I’ve got Lexi’s January Group Gift to show you, the golden Midnight Kiss.  The dress features a tantalising cutout from shoulder to hip, sliding into a slit up the left leg.  It’s wonderfully sultry!MidnightKiss_004

MidnightKiss_006

Midnight Kiss comes in the standard five mesh sizes.  You’ve likely heard me comment before about trying to dance in mesh gowns: they don’t move right, and it’s often painful to watch.  Mind you, I’m not sure what to do in such a gown, typically, other than pose for pictures!  Lexi has solved this by including two prim pieces with this gown, one for each leg. This gives the gown a lovely flowy appearance and feel, and makes it perfect for dancing.

A necklace would have been too much, I think, given the tight strap at the shoulder.  I’ve complemented this outfit with some fire-opal earrings trimmed in gold from Evelock.  I’m typically a fan of blue-green opal, but the fire opal is just right for this gown.

Lexi offers several other shades for this gown, and for the month of January they’re all on reduced pricing.  I’m going to go and take advantage of that, the Sapphire shade is brilliant, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou, my friends!  Aloha!

A Touch of Spring

blue Fashion, LotD, Reviews

We’re not to Spring yet, our park is still deep in the throes of winter (and if you haven’t visited to try your hand at solving our ice maze, you should).

But spring is on its way!  This mesh dress was an MM prize from  Darling Rentals, and comes in standard fitmesh sizing, plus fitmeshes for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.

I mentioned these sandals in my previous post, but realized they weren’t very visible.  They are by Like Design, and if you are not a group member, well, you should be!  They do some wonderful essential shoes for Slink that go with nearly anything.  They are usually available in store on Lucky Letter boards or Midnight Mania boards, and sometimes have been available as SLF&O group gifts.  I recommend checking them out!

And lastly I’m wearing a necklace that I got as an old group gift from Pixel Box Designs.  However, it’s still available in store for purchase at the nice low price of L$50.  The black steampunk theme sets the dress off nicely 🙂
