A gentle wench

A warm sunny spring day, flowers blooming and the happy green as trees break out in leaves… enough to stop from your toils and wander about and take joy in the life surrounding you

Oh my goodness.  Great things are in the works for yours truly, but it has been a busy few weeks, and I am late in getting this post up.  But I had to share the beautiful wench from Silvan Moon Designs with you all.  It’s on sale at We Love Role Play this month, and that means there’s still about a week to go snatch it up!  The Lycira Wench dress comes in six colours and in Maitreya and SLink fitmesh.

The dress, vest, and apron are separate pieces, so I removed the apron and found I liked that look, too!

I had a lot of fun shooting this at the home sim of Silvan Moon Designs.  It’s been totally redesigned and updated, but still features the wonderful region designed by Gidgy last year in the style of Queensgarden after the 2020 Fantasy Faire.  It was definitely the right setting for this lovely dress!

I wish you all a wonderful day!  A hui hou kākou!

I’ve paired it with the beautiful Pearl & Diamond Butterfly necklace and earring set from Alyssa Bijou Jewelry. It’s a little bit luminous and a lot classy!

Aloha Po’akolu!  Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I have another lovely gown from Spyralle to share with you here today, it’s a beautiful piece featured at Mystic Market this month.  Sibyl Forest comes in both ‘plain’ and ‘glyph’ versions, and is just a perfect colour for me.

I had fun shooting, so I’ll just the pics speak for me.

Nature’s Splendor by EarthStones is a beautiful necklace-and-earring set that features a beautiful little texture-change HUD.  There are three sets of leaves here, so you can colour them individually or all together if you prefer.

The glyphs version of the dress features patterns that remind me of the ki‘i pohaku, the petroglyphs on the Hawaiian islands.  I definitely love the look, although if you prefer it without them, “un-glyphed” versions are also included!

This edition of Mystic Market ends soon, so you might want to stop by sooner than later!  Kerryth has a good record of bringing her event clothing into the main store, so if you miss it, you’ll have another chance.  And stop by The Lost Unicorn for a magical little visit.  There have been some recent updates, and the sim just keeps getting better and better.

Aloha kākou!  A hui hou!

A winterfae

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

It’s past Christmas, and perhaps many lights have faded… the winter is long and dark yet before the spring comes….
but there is light in the deep wood, if you are quiet… and patient.

There is magic that sparkles in the snow.

As I roam about SL, and SHOP!  I sometimes find wonderful little things that are JUST PERFECT and I know exactly what to do with them.

And sometimes I find things that are just perfect… but I know they need something… to make them sing, to make them truly come alive.  I love those maybe the most — the mix-and-match, the outfit, the look that is truly one-of-a-kind, because no one else thought to put those things together

I’d been playing with the beautiful Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods for months, and I’ve had the Snowflakes outfit from Caverna Obscura for a couple of years.

It was truly the beautiful Lightbringer antlers from Spyralle that made me know I had the look I wanted.  They include a HUD to set the jewel/light colours at the tips of the antlers, as well as options with or without the headpiece and headpiece texture.  I couldn’t resist the opal, it goes so well with the skin.  Add to that a beautiful body shimmer from Stargazer, and.. presto.

Now, a quick word about Stargazer Creations: while they have a Marketplace store, it’s empty — and the listed in-world location is a sim that no longer exists.  That said, Stargazer has booths at many of the events that I frequent, and have some remarkable things there.  I’ll update this if I find a new in-world location, but you just need to keep your eyes out!  Stargazer uses Omega Evolved appliers, but includes a Maitreya applier, too.  I think it works really well, but try out their demo, and use proper lighting!  You might try contacting the owner, Aggie Mactavish, to find out more.

Clearly I couldn’t choose just one or two pics.  This is a new favourite…. and it has me almost wishing the snow stays for weeks and weeks and weeks.

Almost.  🙂

A hui hou kākou!  Mālama pono!

Guardians of the Wood

Aeon Events, Reviews, Sponsored

Happy Winter, everyone!    I love this time of year — cold and snow are SO much easier to deal with in SL than they are in RL!  But even in RL, there is so much magic in the snow and in the seasonal lights.  It’s a beautiful time!

I came across this wonderful set of Winter Guardians from Spyralle at the Winter’s Hollow event, and they are just the perfect happy touch to your parcel, your sim, your little corner of Winter.  There are four of them, and they’re resizeable to fit your space.  Each is from one to two LI depending on the size.

The Winter Guardians are soooo much fun!  They’re a wonderful touch to your little piece of winter.  You can find the Guardians at Winter’s Hollow, going on now!

Aloha kākou!  A hui hou!

 

Across the Ecliptic

Aloha kākou!  I hope everyone is ready for a happy and relaxing weekend! I apologise, we probably should have seasonal posts here this time of year, but I had picked up this lovely dress from Spyralle and I really wanted to share it with you.

Kerryth’s Astera comes in twelve beautiful patterns, one named for each of 12 of the 13 constellations of the Zodiac (poor Ophiuchus always gets slighted by the astrologers, but we astronomers remember).  This is Virgo, beautiful in blues, greens and violets.

I’ve added some beautiful feathery earrings from Zaara.  Actually, I’m wearing both feathered earrings and ear cuffs, but they work so well together.  I’ve had these for a while, but with my big curly hair that I’m usually wearing, they kind of… vanish.  They suit Astera very well!

I hope you may find time to pause and breathe.  Sure, maybe for the season, but maybe just because you need it.  I know that I do!  Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Winter is Coming

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The onset of Winter is a wonderful time to me, and sometimes the magic swirls around like falling leaves and snowflakes.  Kerryth at Spyralle introduced a new pattern for her Silvia dress, and offered a beautiful leafy headpiece that matches perfectly.  This looked beautiful enough in my “usual” Quinn Perle skin from Oceane Body Design , but when I tried the Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods, something really shiny began to take place.

This outfit was just a joy to put together, and there’s just so much here to share with you.  I found the beautiful dress and headpiece from Spyralle on a recent trip, then kept finding the perfect things to put together with the outfit.  The Nature’s Splendour jewelry from EarthStones was just perfect to carry the maple leaf theme, and the HUD let me select some blue and opalescent textures that carry the theme of the dress, the headdress, and the skin.  On top of that, while wandering around Enchantment, I came across the perfect face paint / facial tattoo from Nefekalum Tattoos — the beautiful blue maple leafs!  It is almost as if this was destined.

Add in the Silvan Boots from [QE]Designs, and the Arboreal wings from Vaengi, and presto… .the perfect little fae for the season.

If you’re like me, there’s a lot of chaos to take place before the December holidays.. and those December holidays themselves take on many different forms.  But I think that nearly all of them carry the same message — a time of peace, a time of joy, a time of family and friends.  I hope that even in the chaos that you may all carry that joy with you throughout the next month.

Have a wonderfully happy week, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

Aloha kākou!  Hello, my friends!  The Snow Queen awaits you at the latest round of Enchantment, open now until December 2.  I wanted to share the beautiful gown from Silvan Moon Designs, Crystallis.

I usually shy away from pinks and corals — they often clash with my ginger — but I saw Bee’s colours in the Amaryllis style for Crystallis and I just fell in love.  I feel like I’m dressed in the sunset.

  • <K&S> — Loveliness #4 pose

I don’t get enough opportunity to wear the Springleaf necklace from Empyrean Forge — it’s a large piece, and definitely requires a strapless gown — or at least a broad expanse of chest — so that it’s not crowded.  It works perfectly with the Crystallis gown.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!  If you are able, recharge, rejuvenate, refill with peace and strength for the week ahead.  If you are not able, find some time to breathe and take in a little peace…  and that rejuvenation time will come.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Elphaba’s Magic

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Hau’oli lā Heleuī kākou!  Happy Hallowe’en, my wonderful friends!  I hope you won’t mind me sharing a new twist on an old outfit with you today.  This Death Girl dress and hood from G Field is one of my favourites, and I really need to wear it more often.  But when I saw the new emerald Pure skin from Fallen Gods, I knew it was just perfect for a little Elphaba-like twist.  And if you don’t know, yes, Elphaba is the name given to The Wicked Witch of  the West in the Wicked books by Gregory Maguire.

I believe I’ve found my kindred soul… my head may be just as full of straw, but he’s certainly got a friend looking out for him.

There is magic to be unlocked in books….

True magic lies not in casting spells, but in weaving care and protection about all.  E mālama pono kākou!

Let me please apologise to you all, and especially to Blue for being so absent the past two months.  The semester has been beating me up something fierce, but I hope to be a little more active, at least!  I have a couple of goodies waiting for pics, so hopefully I won’t keep making Blue do all the work!

Have a wonderfully happy week, my friends!

A hui hou kākou!

There was a little story I heard on the social media earlier this week, and with apologies to the OP, I want to try to retell it for you quickly.

I went to the coffee shop and as the barista handed me my espresso, he leaned over and in a quiet voice whispered “Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle”.

Somewhat startled, I smiled and thanked him… and as I turned away to get about my day, I overheard his co-worker tell him “Aww, man, will you knock it off with your inspirational shit?  Nobody wants to hear that!”

He replied “I am NOT going to let YOU dull my sparkle!”

With that in mind… here is a little bit of sparkle!

  • Mishmash Fusion — Nyota Supernova minidress (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/eBody Curvy/eBody Classic/Altamura Sophia/Standard fitmesh)
  • Fallen Gods — Opal Laguna skin
  • Evelock Celtic Sheaf Lapis Lazuli Necklace & Earings
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Noir Leather)
  • an lar [poses] — The Irie Series – Two pose

Happy aloha Friday, my friends!  You’ve made it to the weekend!  How about something slink and sparkly and shimmery, perfect for going out to a little interstellar dancing?  I’d been looking for the right thing to wear with the beautiful Opal Laguna skin from Fallen Gods.  When I saw Mishmash Fusion‘s Nyota Supernova dress at the Sci-Fi con a couple weeks ago, I just knew it was perfect.  I didn’t get the chance to share it with you before now, but it’s the perfect opportunity!

It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me how much I like opal.  The skin has the most beautiful opalescent highlights and I just couldn’t pass it up.  When I saw Nyota Supernova, I knew it was just the perfect complement.  The dress is overall black, with green and blue texture highlights that are a wonderful match to the skin.  Better yet, the cutouts reveal a lot of the opalescent highlights without being completely bare!

Happy Aloha Friday, everyone!  I wish you a safe and relaxing weekend!  Show off your sparkle!

A hui hou kākou!
