Another Carrie’s piece today. This lovely little set of lingerie turns up regularly on the store’s Midnight Mania board. Join Carrie’s group to get on the board! This set is rather sheer, so we’ll give you the idea without completely compromising my modesty 🙂
Aeon showed us a great set of overalls from Rowena’s the other day. I’ve had this set in my inventory for a while so I thought I’d show you my take on the overall thing. I know Aeon will like it 🙂

Early on when I had just started getting into the wonderful distracting world of Second Life, it became apparent I needed some formal wear. Places like Frank’s even enforce dress standards 🙂 So, I was at a dance (not formal) and the DJ had a raffle going with the prize being a Carrie’s gift card. To cut a long story short, I ended up winning it! At the time, it was the most Linden dollars I’d ever seen hehe.
I excitedly ran off to Carrie’s thinking I’d splurge on lingerie, then agonizing for hours as to what I should buy! If you’ve been to Carrie’s you undoubtedly know the feeling 🙂 I finally settled on this lovely gown and have never regretted it. I get complemented every time I wear it!

This little short kimono style outfit is from Sakide. It’s mesh in the five standard sizes and includes fitmesh versions too. It also comes in a white and pink version. Just the thing to wear to the bathhouse!
I love the colors of fall, all the beauty of the turning leaves. Here is a wonderful little capri set from Kastle Rock Couture. The blouse is mesh and comes in the standard five sizes. The pants are system (unfortunately with no appliers).
Adding a nice little touch is my autumn moon necklace. The detail on this is fantastic, as I think you’ll agree!

One of my favourite swimsuits is this lovely little one piece called Manea from Topazia. The first time I went to the Topazia store and saw this, I had to have it! Topazia also makes it in a number of other colors and designs.
It’s November, but unseasonably warm weather makes it comfortable in sandals and bare sleeves. Comfy clothes for the weather are provided by Rowena’s Designs, surprising us all with Daisey, a mesh overall and knit top combination in five sizes.
If you’ve been reading this blog, you know I’ve got a bit of a gripe against merchants who sell each individual colour or texture of their product at exorbitant sums. The Daisey overalls feature Rowena’s norm: a colour/texture change HUD, with six different colours for both top and bottom, each independently selectable for 36 possible combinations.
What else to add? Oh, yes – this is a FREE GIFT for members of SL Frees & Offers. Stop by, pick up a copy, and check out all of the amazing items offered by Rowena!
This group gift from Ghee has been available in store for some time, and I finally got around to picking it up today. Another outfit not made for redheads, I again have to wear another color hair. Never mind, it gives me something else to show you 🙂
Ghee has a L$250 group join fee, but once again, with the quality of clothing, it’s hard to complain.
The pretty Asian styled dress comes in the standard mesh sizing and includes matching shoes for Slink High feet!

This was my Halloween outfit for the big night. A fabulously dark gown called, what else? “Dark Blood Ephiphany” by Glam Dreams! The gown was a group gift, absolutely FREE to group members. And it comes with all the accessories you see here, plus a fur collar and neck frill that I chose not to wear.
The earrings are another hunt item from Bats in the Belfry Hunt from the other day. Here is a close-up, also showing you another aspect of my usual skin from Lumae. My normal ginger sure didn’t go with dark blood 🙂 Including my eyebrows. Fortunately, Lumae includes multiple options with their skins, and I have the choice of four eyebrow tints and a version with no brow in case you need to add that rainbow one you found as a freebie 🙂
Finally, a close-up of the accessories. The skeleton hands are some of the best I’ve seen!

Materials science is a hot area in the real world, and Advanced Materials in SL isn’t far behind!
I have to show off this fabulous dress from Ally Adventures. Ally offers a range of clothing featuring this fabric, and each more provocative than the last!
Ruca Tease – Slink Leather Black /silver strap sandals
These items do require the Advanced Lighting Model to be activated, so it’s not for the faint-of-cpu, although I have little problem on a range of computers that I’ve tried. I’d definitely recommend checking the demos first – Ally offers free demos of all her items. Additionally, transparent clothing leaves no room for alphas, so some adjustment of shape may be called for.
All of the Ally Adventure glitter sequins garments come with a set of personal lights. These are similar to facelights, but are designed to produce sparkle in the dress. Night (low illumination) produces a very transparent effect! These are not for the excessively modest! My dear friend Whit might be concerned about a lack of decorum, but it does feel good to get this off my chest.
As a nod to some level of modesty, Sparta comes with a thong with multiple texture choices, but the breast is left transparent to view.
For contrast, a view of the same dress under daylight illumination. The fabric is a bit less shear – external illumination hides (to some extent) the skin beneath.
Ally Adventures features a broad range of clothing with these materials. I can only say that I think they are worth every linden. Watch this space for review of others – there’s a very sexy swimsuit that I have my eye on.
