Longing for the horizon…

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Fishwife:

  • a coarse-mannered woman who is prone to shouting.
  • (archaic) a woman who sells fish.

Let’s say that the gorgeous mesh netting on Blue Moon Enterprises‘s August Group Gift has something to do with fish, then, because I’d hate for anyone to think that I had coarse manners!

Fishwife_c006

Fishwife‘s beautiful mesh is available in the five standard mesh sizes.  I found it to be a bit tricky on the Physique mesh body due to awkwardly-positioned alpha zone boundaries, but the lovely design makes it worth it.

I’ll admit – sometimes I get really excited about the pictures I take.  Most of the time, actually, I’m pretty happy about them, but sometimes I get particularly excited.  So… join me, and gaze to the far-off horizon.  What wonders await us out there?

A hui hou, my friends!  Mahalo!

Iridescence

Aeon LotD

I was dancing at Frank’s over the weekend with Blue, and thought that I hadn’t shared this lovely little gown with you before.  Despite the difficulties of dancing in an ankle-length all-mesh gown, this one is worth it to me!  Opal Pearl is an older group gift from Paisley Daisy.

  • Paisley Daisy — Opal Pearl gown (older group gift)
  • Adoness — Soyala earrings (sold as part of Soyala feathered mohawk)
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

The low back is scooped down to the bottom — no panties with this one!  But then, no unsightly panty line, either.
OpalPearl_c005aOne of my favourite things about this gown is the material — under different lighting conditions, it shifts from a very bright colour to a very dark one, giving a lovely iridescent effect.

Paisley Daisy has some very lovely outfits, and their group gifts are worth the small group join fee.  They’ve lately been doing more and more fitmesh, so they’re definitely worth checking out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The latest from Silvan Moon Designs is the lovely Willow Spirit, an all-mesh dress evoking the art nouveau style.  Willow Spirit comes in five colours, so a bunch of pictures for you today!

Each colour comes with its own matching headband.

As with other Silvan Moon products, Willow Spirit comes in the standard five mesh sizes plust Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fitmesh!

It’s not news, perhaps, that a long mesh gown has something of a limited use to someone who really likes to dance.  But Willow Spirit just keeps growing on me, and I find myself wearing it just for fun.  This is one beautiful outfit that is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.  Keep up the good work, Silvan Moon!

Mahalo! A hui hou!

A Queen for the Desert

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Moonlitecat Creations brings us Hatshepsut, a lovely gift in mesh, suitable for any desert oasis.

Hatshepsut_c056

Hatshepsut_c045

Hatshepsut comes in the standard mesh sizes, and fits pretty nicely.  The skirt is mesh, but dances awfully well for long mesh.

Hatshepsut_c054

Incidentally, Hatshepsut is thought to have been the longest-reigning female pharoah of the Egyptian New Kingdom (ca 1500 BCE), reigning for twenty-one years after the death of her husband, Thutmose II.  She served as king, not queen, having herself depicted on monuments with the male pharonic beard and kilt, and rather devoid of female body shape.  Some twenty years after her son, Thutmose III, took the throne, he moved to eradicate her monuments and her name from history — apparently in a move to consolidate his political power.

So, there you go, something new to learn!  There’s a lovely article by National Geographic here.

Stop on by Moonlitecat Creations today!  The group join is free, and their styles are fantastic!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A View of Skye

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A dear friend recently introduced me to Arwen’s Creations, a prolific medieval-themed merchant in SL.  Skye is a lovely Scots-inspired gown in a brilliant green tartan.

Skye_c002

Skye has been updated to include Omega blouse and glove appliers to accompany the fitmesh gown and rigged mesh scarf and sleeves.  This outfit has a tonne of options – including opaque and sheer veils as well as several different trim options on the blouse and a colour-change HUD for the gloves.

Skye_c001

Because I’m a bit of a nut that way, I did some searching to see if I could find which tartan is featured.  The Isle of Skye was home to Clan MacLeod, which features green and blue with red and yellow details.    This is not MacLeod, but it’s pretty close to Irish National.  The two-toned green suggests a reproduction tartan, I think?  Perhaps that’s for the best.  I’m always a little wary of wearing another clan’s colours!

Skye_c007

This lovely outfit is just one of the amazing creations that Arwen’s Creations has to offer.  Stop by and take a look!

Aloha!  A hui hou!  Or, perhaps, more appropriately, Bidh mi ‘gad fhaicinn!

Rising from the waters

Sometimes…. the pearls are hidden in the flotsam and jetsam.

At the beginning of June, I had gone to pick up the group gift from Blue Moon Enterprises (always a treat) and had apparently then completely forgotten about it.  It wasn’t until earlier today that I was looking at my inventory (the flotsam and jetsam in this case) and OMG stumbled across Selkie, a beautiful mesh skirt and tie-back bandau.

Selkie_c001

The skirt comes in the standard mesh sizes, but the bandau comes in a single size.  I was a bit distraught at first, as it was much larger than my chest!  But Solas made the bandau mod, so that you can edit the top.  Simply select ‘edit linked’, and click on the bandau itself (not the ties or the abalone shell decorations).  You can then select the front face-center (it should be a red square) and slide that in or out to resize.  Don’t forget to adjust the back as well!  Once you’re happy with the fit of the bandau, select the abalone shells in front and move them to your chest, and the ties in back the same way.  It will fit like a dream!

Selkie_c008

Now — fair disclosure — I don’t know how long it will take Solas to put up a new group gift for July.  Maybe at the time of this post it’s already up – and maybe you have an hour or two. Maybe a day.  But maybe you have ten minutes.  If you haven’t dashed over and grabbed this, run now to Blue Moon Enterprises, and maybe you’ll forgive me for not showing this to you before now!

A hui hou, my friends!  Mahalo!

A more romantic era

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Silvan Moon Designs  has brought out their second offering, the Divine Regency gown, straight out of the romantic period.

DivineRegency_c002

The gown is offered in the five standard sizes, plus Maitreya, Slink, and standard fitmesh, with a fitted cape and flexi bits to give that lovely kind of flow.

DivineRegency_c003

Tea Time is but the first teaser colour in the line, with more colours to follow shortly.

I added this lovely necklace and earring set from JCNY Collection.   It features some very fine detail, plus a colour-change menu for metal and stones.

DivineRegency_c006

An empire cut flatters someone with a larger bust than mine, but this gown is pretty enough that I just had to share it.

The Silvan Moon offerings are currently available at both Blue Moon Enterprises and The White Armory Shops, as well as a small Silvan Moon Designs shop.  Come and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Carrie’s Lingerie has brought us a lovely gown and lingerie set, the lovely Brea.  As a gown, Brea features a lovely flexi skirt to complement the Omega applier / SL layer body and stockings (and gloves).

Brea_c013

The lingerie features the same body/torso as the gown, save without the transparent panel.    Brea is a beautiful gown, and reminds me of Carrie’s older Holiday Sparkles gown.  (Oooh, an applier re-release of that would be wonderful, Carrie!)

Mahalo, and a hui hou!

Serene Beauty

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my friends — before it’s too late, I wanted to share this past week’s group gift from Bee at The White Armory.  Subarashi is a lovely little mesh yukata/kimono, complete with sandals fit for Slink flats.

Subarashi_c002

I love the bow detail.  I had to add some hair sticks from Dressed by Lexi‘s Narcissus, as they really work well with this hairstyle.

Subarashi_c003

This one will be at The White Armory for a little bit longer, so don’t waste time.  Head over and pick it up — and take a look at TWA’s other fine offerings while you’re there!

Mahalo, and a hui hou!
