A fabulous mid length skirt matched with a daring top is available now at Nala Design as a FREE SLF&O group gift. The outfit comes with matching shoes for Slink Highs too!
Winter is fast approaching, and FA Creations have released this wonderful group gift for November. The group is FREE to join. What are you waiting for?!
Here we are, nearing the end of November and the leaves here are well off of the trees… and the landscape turns grey and brown from autumn fire that we saw a few weeks ago.
I visited a lovely little autumn sim and was inspired, and thought I’d share both it and a lovely little faerie outfit from **Angelwing**.
Blue just wrote about Kat’s Retreat, a beautiful little autumn-inspired sim. There’s a lovely gazebo and a beautiful little pond, just the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the quiet life for a few minutes, a perfect reprieve from the chaos of everyday life. Please stop by for a visit!
The dress top and leg ribbons are system layers (perhaps Angelwing can be convinced to re-issue with Omega layers?), with mesh ivy accoutrements at the waist and crown. Angelwing’s outfit comes with wings, but I’ve replaced the included wings Eth wings from Avro. Avro sadly no longer maintains an in-world store, but their products are still available on Marketplace. Avro’s wings are lightly scripted, and include simple flapping, but have a wonderful selection of colours available by HUD.
I’ve added a few other accoutrements to the Angelwing outfit – a leafy mask from Spyralle (also with a colour change HUD), and leaves for my hair from Persefona. The hair is a lovely style from Calico, one of my favourite hairdressers, that I think really favours the overall look. I really find that it’s the little added details that really make an outfit, particularly one like this, come alive!
Aloha, my friends!
Today we celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the States. We joke that it’s a day to overindulge – to eat until we explode, to use more butter in one meal than is healthy to eat in a week.
As someone involved in academics for her adult life (‘adult’ – heh) – I grumble about the timing of the Thanksgiving holiday. Too late in the Fall, too late in the semester, coming back for just two weeks of classes before end-of-term?
We hear stories about the busiest travel days of the year – and about accidents and flight delays.
But in all of this, there is more – beyond the food, beyond the timing, beyond all the encroaching ads and sales for the Christmas season.
I look outside and the weather is grey and bleak and there is the feeling of winter, waiting in the wings, holding its breath.
I think of my family.
I think of the family that I was born to that is out there wishing I could be with them.
I think of the family that I have found, that I have chosen. I think of all the friends that I gather near me – in body, in heart, in spirit.
I have seen the past year bring me new family – and I have felt the pain as some of those family have left this world, leaving their footprints, leaving the marks on me that we all make on each other.
My friends, my family – I am thankful for every one of you. This day is my day to tell you how grateful I am for what you have been to me. No matter where you are in this world, no matter what creed or nationality, no matter what your longitude or time zone – no matter whether you make a point of celebrating today or not – I am thankful for you.
From Blue and I here at Blue’s Fantasy, mahalo nui loa, many many many thanks to you all.
Raise a glass with us today – ‘okole maluna!
Every now and again I get a little funny thinking about clothing items in-world that don’t match the seasons that I’m experiencing. Sometimes the cold weather outside drives me to dress warmly in-world – but sometimes I need the warmth of the beach to drive the cold autumn and winter weather to the background.
Along those lines, I’d like to share another little treasure from Nickki at Island Style Designs. This mesh beach cover-up is perfect to slip over your ‘kini for that trip to the pool, the ocean, or just for no reason at all.
The wrap comes in five mesh sizes with an eight-texture HUD, with traditional hibiscus patterns plus a few ferny ones.
Keep the Aloha spirit alive, all year long!
I’ve mentioned previously that I love searching out locations for photos. Today, I’m showing you Kat’s Retreat, a private house that is nonetheless open to everyone. I can even rez my pose stand here!
Kat seems to be a kindred spirit, following the seasons on her land, and has it totally decked out for Autumn! Fantastic!
My outfit is by StormCrow Design. The knit top is mesh in the standard sizes, the leggings are system with appliers for Lena, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and WowMeh. And the boots are unrigged mesh with a resizer script, suitable for anyone.
This lovely dress is currently available at Tiffany Designs for SLF&O group members! It has mesh is the classic five standard sizes, plus fitmesh versions and versions for Slink Physique, Maitreya, and Belleza mesh bodies!
Hello gentle reader, today I want to show you a fab gift hair currently available at Amacci for SLF&O group members. It’s a wonderful little blonde ponytail style called Aurora, and I love it so much I will have to run and buy the red version 🙂
My outfit is a previous group gift by Kamiri, a very talented designer. Details below…
This is another outfit from Ana Markova, a group gift for SLF&O now that Ana has joined the SLF&O family! The top and skirt are mesh and come in the standard five sizes (although I had to wear a medium while I’m usually a small). And of course, it lends itself to the full rock goth look 🙂
Lovely fall cardigan and jeans match perfectly with thigh high boots, and what better place to show it off than a wheat field (I don’t know why that is, but it just is 🙂 )
