Hit the Beach!

Aeon Fashion, Reviews

I’m a big fan of winter, and am truly looking forward to snow – but I will NEVER say no to the beach!  And I’m very excited to share this find with you, given that a well-fitting bikini is as hard to find in SL as it is in RL.  Standard layers and appliers (for mesh bodies) are one option, but nothing beats mesh for the textured look of the bikini sitting on your skin.

But a mesh that fits – particularly a mesh body (such as my Slink Physique) is hard to come by.  While I can grudgingly adjust the bust, gaps at the hips, crotch, and butt are particularly hard to fit.

In that context, you’ll understand why I’m so excited about the South Beach bikini from !Rebel Hope.

In addition to the standard mesh sizes,!Rebel Hope also offers meshes designed to fit Physique, Belleza, Freya, Isis, and Maitreya bodies.  Colours are sold separately, but metal trim is selectable from a HUD.  Leather braid and tie detail at the hip is amazing.

Resting during the hunt

blue LotD

Aeon and I went and looked at the Bats in the Belfry Hunt at the Truth about Bats & Avis Charity Festival today.  There are a number of vendors donating anything from 50% of sales to 100% !!! All money donated is going to support Bat World Sanctuary.

The hunt was pretty difficult, so I thought I’d rest on a roof for a while 🙂  I’ll show you some hunt gifts tomorrow.

Blue does neko.  I was just at an event and thought that my tail would work really well with what I was wearing, and sure enough I got a bunch of comments as soon as I put it on 🙂  But it made me realize I haven’t posted a neko shot on the blog yet, so here you go 🙂

The outfit is created by a whole bunch of people that I won’t detail at the moment (translation: I can’t remember where I got them and am too lazy to investigate right now!), but the tail is the Extreme Neko Tail Corset by Psychotic Neko.  It’s not cheap at L$250, but if you buy this tail, you’ll never need to buy another one!  It has so many  texture, color, glow, and other options, it’s truly amazing!

Baby Monkey Gifts

blue LotD

Keeping in theme for Fall, today I’m dressed exclusively by Baby Monkey in the September, October, and November group gifts!  Baby Monkey has a L$500 group join fee, but I think you’ll agree with me that the quality of their clothing justifies it.  It also entitles you to a large discount on any items in-store.

The poncho is an early November gift, and comes with a nine color hud with plaid and plain woollen textures.

The tights come in 35 colors, and the Houston boots also have a 35 colour HUD!

Fresh bread! Buy my bread!

blue Stuff

Exhausted after a day of baking and taking her bread around the streets of Paris, Blue stops for a rest in a little café near the Arc de Triomphe.

I wore this to an event over the weekend and you guessed it, the theme was French!  This top is system and was only L$1 on the marketplace, and it was literally the only thing I needed to complete my outfit, everything else coming from existing inventory!

I wanted to go as a French Resistance girl and take my machine gun 🙂 but Aeon talked me into going as a bread seller.  I think she shouted “Bagaettes!” about five times 🙂

 

Falling leaves

blue LotD

Back to the Autumnal theme with another group gift from Lo’s Inspirations, an lovely little dress on system layers.  The dress comes with an awesome array of appliers for just about everything.  Also included is a matching necklace and earring set!

Just an aside on appliers.  The only mesh body I currently own is the free one from TMP.  However, the only thing stopping me buying Maitreya is my favourite mesh bikini doesn’t fit Lara 🙂  So, until I find a new favourite that does fit, I’ll continue to use the standard system mesh.  But now, any outfit that comes on system layers must include at least Omega appliers as eventually I’ll want to use it on Lara.  If it doesn’t have appliers, I just won’t consider finding space in my inventory for it.

  • Dress, necklace, earrings: Falling Leaves by Lo’s Inspirations (FREE group gift, group is FREE to join)

Ghostly beauty

Who’s afraid of ghosts?  Not me!  This is another outfit available for FREE to attendees at Solaris (finishes to tomorrow! hurry!)

It’s by Posh Pixels. and it comes with system layers for the top and pants, and includes appliers for Slink, Omega, Belleza, and Maitreya.  Very suitable for this time of the year!

Fetish night

blue LotD

Finding outfits for various events can be really challenging and really rewarding when it works out.  A club I go to quite a bit runs fetish nights, which I’m not really into, being pretty straight laced 🙂  On my travels though I found this bodysuit by Lo’s Inspirations as a group gift.  The group is FREE to join.  I think it will be a great outfit to wear to the club!

The outfit comes on standard system layers and with TMP, Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, Omega and Lena appliers!  All your bases are covered with this outfit!

Here’s a close-up on my heels so you can see the fantastic detail.
