Alaska Metro <3 featured this amazing bodysuit back in December for an event, and while I stopped and picked it up, I hadn’t had the chance to share it with you before now. Kristal is an applier bodysuit that has beautiful reflective detail. It’s just glorious as you dance under coloured lights!
Kristal comes with two versions, one featuring a modesty panel for those who would rather not be quite so… transparent. This is definitely one of the best applier textures I’ve ever seen!
Happy Aloha Friday, my wonderful friends! Mahalo! A hui hou!
This is the last day of the Shop & Hop event! If you haven’t been there, you should run over as quickly as possible. There are a number of FREE gifts from some of the best designers in SL just waiting for you, five of which I’m showing you today!
First up are these fab thigh boots. They come in fits for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique, and include a four color HUD with two shades in neutral, and a green and a red. The buckles at the back are well done, and you can see them at the end of the post.
Next up, the tied top comes with fitmesh sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass. It also has a HUD to allow color change of the fabric, laces, and metal grommets, with get this! 35 colors for the fabric, 35 colors for the laces, and 7 metals for the grommets! What an awesome gift!
As a redhead, I tend to use neutral makeup options, and since I got my new mesh head, I’ve been looking around for a neutral lippy similar to what I wore with my system head. The ones that came with the mesh head are not quiet dark enough for my liking. So I was happy to find a lippy in neutrals as a gift at the event. It’s a tiny bit too dark, but it’s far better then the ones I’ve been wearing recently. Included in the pack are three shades in the matte shown here, and a gloss version of each too. Also included is the matching eyeshadow. It comes with appliers for Catwa, LeLutka, and Omega, and also on system tattoo layers.
And what can I say about this hairstyle? It’s a fabulously generous gift, with four different rigged mesh options: the normal hair, a “breeze” version where there is some movement in your hair, a materials enabled version that reflects the light, and one with both the breeze and materials enabled (shown). It has two HUDs one offering solid colors and the other ombrés, with 56 colors each ranging from dark as night brunette to silvery white, and all the colors in beween! That’s 112 colors girls! WOW! Now, having said that, it comes with a hair band with two snowflakes on it, but fortunately, the hairstyle is modify. So with some minimal building skills you can hide the hair band and snowflakes by texturing them 100% transparent, letting you wear the hair all year round instead of just for the holidays. Don’t forget to take a backup if you’re going to try this, just in case you mess it up.
Lastly, the necklace I’m wearing is also one of four gifts on offer from this designer. It has fits for Lara, Slink, and classic avatars, which is really nice. It also has a HUD that allows you to select one of four designs for the middle of the coin, and one of six metal textures.
And finally, here’s an over the shoulder shot so you can see the boot buckles.
Whew! I’m pooped after writing all that! See you tomorrow xoxo
Okay, I may be a daughter of the islands… but I do love a nice warm jumper and boots on a cold wintery night! Sallie has a perfect happy sweater, not too oversized, but just right with a pair of tights!
Let us twirl in the light
Let us forget our troubles
Let our feet be light
Let me forget the weight that pulls me to the earth
the darkness that surrounds me
Let me say “I love you”
Too quickly the dark comes
Too quickly the voices fade
Too quickly the cold reaches
Dance with me
Give me this moment
Make it last
Forever
I lay between the sheets as dawn’s early glow washes over me… thinking of your touch, the warmth of your love surrounding me… thinking how lucky I am to be yours.
I discovered some new beautiful fitmesh lingerie from /erratic/ that just suits my style so perfectly. Ella is a lovely cami and shorts set (I always called them tap pants?). They feature beautiful satiny texture and some lovely lace details. I’ll show you some other lovelies from /erratic/ later on.
Aloha my lovely friends! The Gotham Island Event is going on through October 31, and sales go to support the race for a cure to end Parkinson’s disease! Kerryth and Spyralle bring you the beautiful Justine gown, with the Hallowe’en version just for the event!
The lovely Pentacle Necklace is yours for free, a beautiful gift from Petite Mort and Oubliette at the The Season of the Witch event. So many wonderful things going on in this exciting season!
If that’s not enough, there’s a 10L hunt for the event, and you can find a witch’s hat and mask to match Justine! Please please please come to The Gotham Island Event and support the fight against Parkinsons. We can do this, this is a possible thing!
The mist hangs close to your skin, a cool shiver runs down your spine that had nothing to do with the cold. You look around furtively, and there — framed in the glow of the streetlight, regal and shining in silver and black… one who walks as if she owns these streets…
Okay, I confess — I am NOT a fan of hats in SL. Even when they’re pretty, they…. just don’t work very well. But then sometimes the perfect outfit just pops into existence for you. When I found Silvan Moon Designs‘ new exclusive dress for the Fallen Gods Decennial, I knew that Spyralle‘s Breakfast in Vegas would make quite the statement.
So, sometimes you get lucky. Bare Rose created some beautiful bento wings in their “B-Wings“, sold in black and white colours. Fortunately, they are mod, so I could change the overlay colour. Be VERY careful, the wings are NO COPY: do NOT try changing the texture, ONLY change the overcolour. I played around a little bit until I found what looked just like gold to me. The texture-enabled wings turned that gold into something shining with a hint of metallic glint. Just… wow.
Persefona‘s Floating Leaves come in a number of different distributions. They’re mesh, not particles, so they don’t contribute to the kinds of rendering issues and lag (and annoyance) that particle generators can. They do attach to the body, so they move somewhat rigidly about you, but depending on your use they look absolutely wonderful. They worked well for my dances at the party!
It’s always lovely when a creator puts together an amazing outfit… but I really love that feeling of putting together pieces from here and there to create your own individualised look.
Time is running out at Spoonful of Sugar, but there’s still time to get in on the lovely treats and help support Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (Doctors Without Borders). A portion of every purchase of Spyralle‘s Sylvia dress goes to support MSF, so you get to help others in need and look great as you do!
