Falling into Wonderland

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

It’s time for a little Enchantment, and Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Iracebeth of Crims, a beautiful new fitmesh gown modeled after the Red Queen in celebration of Enchantment‘s theme — Through the Looking Glass.  Yes, yes, you can get it in red – but look at the other pretty colours first!

Mad mad props to Astralia, who created this wonderful Alice-inspired set of scenes on their sim!

The gown and jacket can be worn separately, but work so very well together that I have a hard time imagining wearing them independently.  As always, Solas’ fitmesh is perfect, and Bee’s texturing is just exquisite.

It’s your move.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Silvan Moon Designs’ Windsor Palace

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

So, first let me apologise: I had taken pics for two of Silvan Moon Designs‘ Fantasy Faire gowns several weeks apart (yes, I got advanced copies for blogging) and had no idea that I’d used the same hair and jewelry for each.  I really hate doing that, particularly for posts that are within a few days of each other.  That said, I loved how they worked for each gown, and I certainly wasn’t going to go back and re-shoot with something that worked less well!

That said, Solas and Bee present the Windsor Palace Gown for the Fantasy Faire 2018.  And where else should we take pics?  Why in Buckingham Palace, of course!

A word about the lovely Leah jewelry set from *AvaWay*.  The full set includes bracelets as well (not worn in this outfit) and an incredible texture-change hud that allows you five choices of metal colour and eight choices of gem colour, as well as the ability to change the texture of half of the gems independently of the other half.   It’s lacey teardrop motif is a perfect match to Windsor Palace.

Time is running out for Fantasy Faire 2018.  Put the party on hold for a little bit, anything that can wait should — the sims are beautiful and the goodies are amazing.

Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Kerryth at Spyralle has turned ten, and the presents are for you!  For a VERY limited time, Kerryth offers Coelis, a beautiful gown in purple to her group!  If that wasn’t all, nearly every purple item at Spyralle is on sale for 50% off!

EarthStones‘ Playful Dolphins works really well with this gown, and the choice of stones is perfect: the mother-of-pearl matches the buttons on the gown wonderfully.

Coelisis available in fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya, TMP, Belleza Venus, and a standard fitmesh.  I really love the lace panel and buttons at the front!

Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!  Congratulations on ten years of orbits about the SecondLife Sun, and thanks for sharing your art with us!  For the rest of us, hurry on out to Spyralle!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Have a shiny Aloha Friday!

Aeon LotD

I shared a beautiful new reflective swimsuit and pareo from Island Style Designs a few weeks ago.  Nickki’s been hard at work, and created new textures for the suit, packaging it with a long sarong and matching shoes, and it’s perfect for your Aloha Friday!

I’m not generally a fan of platforms, but these are perfect with this outfit, having the same metallic texture, so I thought I’d show them off.  They come in sizes for SLink, Maitreya, and TMP feet.

The suit and sarong are sized for Maitreya, SLink Physique, and all three Belleza bodies.  Yay!

This uses the same basic mesh as the Metal Resort Wear from the previous post.  It’s a fairly modest cut at the legs (modest for SL!).  The texture really is quite lovely with advanced lighting and reflections turned on, and has to be seen in action to really be appreciated.  So, take a look at the video!

I took a bit of a selfie here for a friend, but it shows off the beautiful purple agate and silver Sea Turtle jewelry from Luminesse.

Nickki is working hard on new styles and new textures, please visit the all-new Island Style Designs and take a look today!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A bit of a shimmery flirt

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Ohh I get to share a little happiness from -Pixiecat- today.  I discovered them recently, and just really love the textures and styles that they offer.

Flirty comes as separates (skirt and top) in a variety of different colours.  The Holographic that I picked up features a two-texture HUD with a bluer iridescent texture and a little whiter one.

I need to go back to -Pixiecat- and see what else I can find.  Who’s ready for a little weekend shopping?

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Lost in Space

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Blue’s been showing a number of free gifties from Canimal lately, so I thought I’d better get my favourite one in!  Mercury is a beautiful two-piece Maitreya Lara fitmesh outfit that comes complete with a lovely 15-texture HUD.  

The top is really adorable with the belly tie and a cute little peter-pan collar and cuffs. But…. are you really *sure* this is going to put my atoms all back in the right order on the other side?

I don’t usually talk about the poses I feature, but that top one (Flight 15) is from a lovely new pose shop that I recently discovered.  Poseidon Poses features a lot of action poses, particularly action-hero and fantasy poses.  They’re really quite remarkably done, you’ll see some more of their work from me in the future.

Canimal has a lovely wall of free gifties, so stop on by and take a look!

Reflections

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I am so excited to share the latest offering from Nickki at  Island Style Designs with you!  Nickki has created a gorgeous swimsuit and pareo combo with a fantastic shiny metallic texture.

In the daylight, it looks like this: (note: advanced lighting and materials must be enabled!)

The outfit is fitmesh, and comes rigged for Maitreya, both SLink, all three Belleza bodies, both EVE bodies, TMP, and Altamura.    The strapless suit features some lovely pink lacing in the back, and a subtle green/red/yellow shading for the floral pattern.

Where this suit and pareo really shine (so to speak) is in the dark with some interesting lighting effects.  I waded into the water with my pareo still on, and added a little extra lighting to make the suit really shine.  You can see the lights really reflected in the suit.

I really loved the pareo, but did finally take it off to just show the suit on its own.   It’s somewhat lower cut at the hips, giving a lovely slightly retro feel and look.

We’ve seen body-specific fitmesh explode into SL, and while there has been a lot of materials-enabled textures, we haven’t seen lots of reflective clothing.  This is gorgeous, and is sure to be an attention-getter at parties.

Stop on by the new Island Style Designs and take a look today!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

 

Morning Daydream

Happy Aloha Friday, my lovely friends!  I know, pink normally isn’t my thing, but my wonderful friend Ems got me this lovely dusty rose dress for my rez-day, and I just had to share it with you.  🙂 

I really really love the lacey detail work on the bodice.  It’s perfectly done, and appears to be actual mesh as opposed to a texture done on a mesh panel.  The edges of the lace appear to curl up!

Thank you, Ems, for the lovely gift.  It’s beautiful, and definitely not something I would have ever gotten for myself – but all the more cherished.  🙂

Happy Aloha Friday, my wonderful friends!    Mahalo!  A hui hou!
