City Lights

Hey, Whit?  If you’re out there, I still think of you every time I post a video to go with a post.  🙂  Some appropriate music, courtesy of Annie Lennox:

Gazing out above the city streets, the glitter of lights…. a different kind of beauty than the shining stars on a moonless night.  A million lights, out there unseen a million lives, a million stories, each one shining bright in its own way.  A million sequins sparkling in the velvet black, bright in a neon glow.

Aloha kākou, my friends.  You may know how much I like the amazing textures that Ally Adventure creates for their fashions.  Demetra is a two-piece top-and-skirt outfit that is available in two different textures, a lighter glitter sequins with gold accents and a darker glitter sequins version with silvery accents.  I opted for the light/gold one.

Demetra is available in fitmesh for all of the major mesh bodies plus five standard rigged mesh sizes.  Ally Adventure appears to no longer have an in-world store, but is still actively producing new clothing and can be found on Marketplace with demos for all their items.  You should definitely pick up the free demo to see how it fits on you — and which texture you prefer.  I’ve been so happy that they’ve been producing fitmesh for the mesh bodies now!

Also a side note, I combined Leela and Squeeze hairstyles from Analog Dog here.  Both are independently wonderful styles, but pairing them gave a huge curly mess that… just felt right.

The real magic of Ally Adventure are the remarkable materials-enabled textures.  The sparkles just have to be seen to be believed.  To my knowledge, every clothing item Ally sells comes with a set of face/body lights that are designed to enhance the sparkle without being too annoying to those around you.

No matter what your view of the world is, stop a moment… bask in the life around you, the shining lights — starlights, city lights, blinking lights — and enjoy the view.

Mahalo nui, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

 


Full of Life

Aloha kākou!  Aloha my friends!  It’s been a long while since I got to share with you, RL can be a bear sometimes, but I’ll try not to be gone so long again.  Today I want to share a lovely dress by Spyralle at the Medieval Fantasy Faire!  Dubbed “Marshlands“, this beautiful new version of the Sybil dress is an exclusive for the event, with all proceeds going to the Relay for Life fundraising effort to support the fight against cancers.

I was rummaging around in my jewelry box looking for something just right, and found it — the Summer Leaf set, an older lovely set from Spyralle.  It’s just perfect for this look!

Spyralle‘s Sybil Marshlands is a beautiful piece, in “peacock colours” as my good friend said.  This may be my favourite palette, I couldn’t resist!

Come on out to the Medieval Fantasy Faire and take a look around.  There are many wonderful treasures, and you get to support the Relay for Life against cancer at the same time!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!


Evergreen

I really enjoy wandering about a snowy outdoor market, and the Okinawa Winter Festival 2018 is off to a beautiful start!  I got to wander around the market, and fell in love with the beautiful Rachel coat from EXiA!

Rachel comes in five lovely colours and each has red and white options for the bow,  holly (or not), and solid or plaid at the coat bottom.  Rachel feels so very fun and warm and festive — it’s the perfect thing to wander about in the falling snow!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!


Lizette Argent

I always love We Love Role Play, it’s a really nicely-sized event, and there are so many wonderful things to discover.  Today I’d like to show you Lizette Argent Wench dress set by Silvan Moon Designs exclusively at the event!

The Gypsy necklace and earring set from/me EarthStones is a perfect complement to this look!

Lizette Argent is a three-piece set, with separate gown, vest and apron that could be worn separately.

Lizette Argent is available in seven different lovely earthy tones.  I’ll admit, I almost always try the green shades first… but I loved the natural (shown above) so much that I have focused in that one.  Nevertheless, the other shades are gorgeous, and there’s almost certainly something here to draw your interest.

 

Please stop by We Love Role Play today, and take a look at everything they have to offer.  You’ll leave a few lindens lighter… but much happier!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!


Twilight Dreams

Aloha, my friends, I hope that you are having a wonderful Monday!  Normally I don’t like to split up different textures of the same clothing item into different days — it kind of feels like cheating — but I had to do a follow-up post on Spyralle‘s Sybil.  The very day after I published my previous post on Sybil, Kerryth introduced one additional texture that I just had to have — the lovely Twilight.

Kerryth’s textures are always lovely, but I really love the glyphs on this one more than anything — I see a Moon and stars and dancers.  Could there be anything more me?

I’ve paired this with the beautiful The Moon and Stars for you necklace and earrings from Maxi Gossamer — just to match the lovely glyphs.

My friends, Spoonful of Sugar will be over before you know it.  Stop by, find some lovely things, and help out MSF.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!


Powers of Prediction

I foresee people coming together to help out those less fortunate.  Hey, look at that, I’m right! Don’t call me a Sybil, that’s really just the beautiful new dress that Kerryth at Spyralle has created for Spoonful of Sugar, an event to help support Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (Doctors Without Borders).

So I’m always on the prowl for good new hair.  Curly hair is rough — there’s lots of mesh hair for straight locks, but my curls are rough to reproduce in-world.  Often the hair I wear for walking around in-world is different from what I wear for photos — hair with flexies is rough on photos, but it can sure look good as you dance or walk about in-world.  So I was really excited to find Leela from Analog Dog at SoS.  It’s not an exclusive there — it’s also at the mainstore — but I believe that the purchases at SoS contribute to MSF, so it’s a good time to buy!  Leela is very similar to my go-to hair (Annie, also from Analog Dog) — but it’s a bit longer, with a lovely curl over my right eye.  🙂

Sybil comes in six lovely colours, each in a “glyph” and “plain” version.  You might guess which prefer!  I love this dress so much that I might have obtained four of the six available colours!

My friends, have a wonderful weekend.  Stop by Spoonful of Sugar, get some lovely things, and help out MSF.  The only thing better than finding new treasures is helping others out in the process!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou!


Ribbit

Aloha, my friends!  A couple of treasures to share and a couple of events to mention on this lovely Friday!  First, let me share the Lady Tiana gown from Silvan Moon Designs, exclusive for Enchantment!  Enchantment takes you to the New Orleans bayou celebrating The Princess and the Frog, and Solas and Bee have created the perfect gown in commemoration!

I really loved how the hairpin flower from Geist and the Leah jewelry from*AvaWay* carry the organic floral motif of the gown.

These events won’t last forever!  Both the Okinawa Summer Festival 2018 and Enchantment last through the end of August!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Sanctuary’s Promise

Let me take a few minutes out of a bit of a holiday here to share a lovely gown and jacket combo with you.  Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have a lovely new release in the store for you, The Promise of Sanctuary in six gorgeous jewel-tone colours!  

The detail work, both Solas’ mesh and Bee’s texture, is really quite amazing.

Stop by Silvan Moon Designs and find a bit of Sanctuary.  Have a wonderful happy day, my friends!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Glitter on the Ocean

Here’s a really nice short formal dress.  It was a hunt item in Peace by Peace.

The dress comes in fitmesh for class, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Venus, and Physique.  The outfit incluses the pantyhose on system layers and appliers for Slink, Tmp, and Omega.

While I was looking for crazy hair yesterday, I came across some other hairstyles from Analog Dog that had been hiding in my inventory for a while.  This one is quite nice and is just informal enough for this outfit.


Crazy Hair

OK crazy hair!  After our difficult Valhalla theme over the weekend at Eden, we thought we’d do an easy theme.  Best in crazy hair.  This is what I’m wearing 🙂

I’ve shown you this bodysuit before.  It’s just applier, but a rather well done applier.

The hairstyle though, that has been hiding in my inventory for a long time. It’s from Analog Dog, and it has an amazing bunch of colors for a free gift.  When I got it, there were multiple colors available, blonde, black, dark red, but I just grabbed the light red pack.  Even just with this, there is a HUD with ten base colors, nine ombres, and the ability to tint the hair any way you want it!

I can’t imagine how long your hair would need to be to do a style like this in RL, or the amount of gel and hairspray to hold it in place lol.  Crazy indeed!
