Hello sweets, let’s start of the year with a nice grungy rock/goth look.  This is available as a FREE group gift for members of SLF&O.  SLF&O is FREE to join.

The top and skirt are separates, and come sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.  It’s a fatpack, but each color is a separate item (they need me to script a HUD for them hehe), so there are lots of items in the folder.  The other colors include, red, brown, “lagoon”, navy, and a few more.  Each of them includes versions with the zippers and buttons in silver and gold, so, as I said, there are a lot of objects.

I added my typical goth/grunge/rock accessories, a set of high boots, and yes, a new hairstyle!  This is a style from Argrace, and I’m sure I picked it up at the 2018 Hair Fair, but this is the first time I’ve worn it.

Across the Ecliptic

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

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!

An iridescent Friday

Aeon LotD

Aloha!  Happy Friday my friends!  I have this wonderful little iridescent ‘kini that I picked up earlier this summer from Quirky, and because of RL issues I just never got the chance to share it with you.  This is Belle, available in three different holographic/iridescent colours.

It’s a little shiny, a little sparkly, a lot lovely.  A lot how I hope your Friday is!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Sailors beware

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Perhaps lashing yourself to the mast won’t be enough to save you from the siren…. her song is lilting and enticing, speaking of need and loss and possibility…

Aloha my friends!  We’re halfway through July, which means halfway through the current episode of We Love Role Play!

There’s a lovely host of things there every month, and this month is no exception.  I have a lovely number of things to share with you today.  Let’s start with Pure, a beautiful skin from Fallen Gods.  It’s available in several different shadings, from the lighter blue Sapphire tint to a more darker Cerulean.  I chose Abyss, a beautiful darker pupley-blue shade.  I’ve augmented it with body and face tattoos from Spyralle‘s Waverider (Pacific) outfit — you can see that better in later photos.

Silvan Moon Designs brings you Water Nymph, a beautiful short-hemmed empire-fit dress with gauzy flexi silks to blow about you in the breeze.  Water Nymph  comes in fitmesh for Maitreya and SLink mesh bodies, and is available in your choice of four different colours.  This is Dream, a lovely purple-tinted white.

I’ve complemented this with a variety of jewelry items, but of particular note is the Mare Headpiece from Just Another Shop {JAS}.  Mare comes with a texture HUD allowing you a wealth of choices for pendants, chain, and star colours.

One last bit I want to showcase in these three images — the Pinnacles photo props from Spyralle.  Kerryth brings you a lovely pack of three different rocky pinnacles that are just perfect for marine images, exclusively at the La vie en pose event!  This is a lovely little event for photographers, full of poses, props, and other lovely things — and a LOT of free gifties!

I set these down in heavy surf off the coast of the Realm of Light, with a lovely shipwreck in the far distance.  I think these are going to be a lot of fun with photos, and will likely have some landscaping opportunities for you as well.

Happy Summer shopping!  A hui hou kākou!

Also of note:

Iroha

Aeon Fashion, Reviews

Here’s a lovely little gown that I picked up from Azul!   Iroha is a beautiful satiny gown in a very eastern-inspired floral print.  As is most of Azul‘s wares now, the gown is done in fitmesh with add-on flexies for that perfect dance motion.

Those of you who have followed me know that I love my foil flash tattoo from Alaska Metro <3.  The Iroha gown’s low-cut back perfectly frames the tattoo’s central medallion.  It should similarly showcase any large back tattoo!

The lovely locale is the beautiful Kyoto Kagai.  It’s definitely worth the visit!

Happy Aloha Friday, my friends!  I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

River daughter

Aeon LotD

Aloha kakahiaka kākou!  Good morning everyone!  Welcome to a new week!  I have a lovely new gown and bolero to show you from Silvan Moon Designs — the lovely River Daughter, available now at We Love Role Play.

River Daughter features a one-sleeved asymmetric bolero jacket similar to the Pandora gown that I blogged earlier.  River Daughter has a glove on the off-hand side.  I really like this look, there’s something about the asymmetry of skin that accentuates both the skin and the fabrics of the gown.

My dear friend Ariel lent me the most wonderful necklace from The Looking Glass. Dragons is in the Antique Necklaces gacha, and has a menu-driven texture hud to change metals and gem colours.  It’s perfect with this gown!

I always love shopping at We Love Role Play.  It’s a lovely monthly event that has so many nice little treasures to find.  Not so big as to take forever, but large enough, with enough of the strong creators to be something to look forward to.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2019: The last huntress

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

As the gloaming draws in, thoughts turn to home…. to the warm fires, tasty foods, stories, friends, companionship.

  • Scarlet Fey — Elven Asym outfit (boots, coat, gauntlets, top, pants) for  Fantasy Faire 2019 (Maitreya Lara fitmesh only!)
  • Spyralle — Waverider Storm tattoo (face)
  • Poseidon Poses — The Raven 3 pose

The Fantasy Faire draws to a close this year, and despite being a week longer than previous years, it’s hard to believe it’s over.  I’ve tracked quarry across 16 faireground sims, and seen so many things, met so many people… and so many things I know I haven’t gotten to see.

But Fantasy Faire has done something amazing, and you have all done something amazing.  The goal was set to raise US$40,000 for the Relay for Life’s fight for a cure to cancers.  As of this morning, SL through Fantasy Faire has raised US$60,080  That’s over FIFTEEN MILLION LINDENS!

  • Foxcity — A Pretty Good Hair Day pose

I’m… I’m stunned.  I’m amazed.  No huntress could dare to bring home such a quarry.

Fantasy Faire 2019 is here through the end of Sunday.. then the sims will grow quiet, and dark, and fade into our memories.  Shining bright is the thought that we have made a difference, as a group… shining bright is the thought of next year…. shining bright is all the happiness shared, in the Faire and because of your generosity.

Truly, from the bottom of this one’s heart, mahalo nui kākou.

Fantasy Faire 2019: A Sea of Stars

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha kākou!  Happy Aloha Friday!  I want to share a beautiful gown from God Mod!  Heart of the Sea is a wonderful iridescent gown in fitmesh for Maitreya, SLink, and Belleza bodies, as well as the five standard rigged mesh sizes, and it’s available at Fantasy Faire through May 5! I already showed the Ethereal wings from Lunaria, but I really loved how they worked with the colours of Heart of the Sea.

I really love a bare back, particularly one that shows my foil tattoo from Alaska Metro so well-framed!

There are so many wonderful things at Fantasy Faire, and every one helps contribute to the fight against cancer.  With 16 sims, you can always get in somewhere and have a look around.  Fantasy Faire 2019 is only here until May 5, and there is SO MUCH to see.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Twenty seconds into the future

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Weekends are for shopping, spending some time on a lazy Sunday morning, wandering about events with good friends and family, enjoying a beautiful day… sometimes it’s the old familiar places, sometimes it’s new new locales with dazzling scenery and decoration.  Later on I’ll look over a few new treasures, and see how they speak to me, what story they tell me when I find a place to take some new pics to share.

We wandered about the NeoJapan event last weekend, and I got the chance to stop by Insilico for a few pics.  Tomoe is a beautiful little kimono from EXiA, complete with gloves and armbands, and it definitely feels to be appropriate for NeoJapan — that exciting cross between old-world culture and a view of a cyberpunk future, perhaps.

EXiA also has boots and a brace of kunai to strap to your thigh available for separate purchase.  The high boots are lovely, high-heeled with straps and an open toe.  Open-toe high boots are not exactly my style, but I found something that suited me even better.  Jazabelle Boutique has a lovely new outfit called Crimson Dragon, and includes black boots with a red dragon motif that is just the purrrrrrfect coomplement for Tomoe’s  kimono.

You know, there was an old television programme that I’ve caught on the youtubes… you may have heard of Max Headroom?  There was this wonderful little tagline that I recall printed on the bottom of the screen like a closed-caption statement at the beginning of each episode, setting the stage: “Twenty seconds into the future.”  That stuck with me, even though I never watched more than a couple episodes of the programme.

Twenty seconds into the future.  Near enough to be here… just distant enough to not be right now.

Exia’s Tomoe is perfect for that moment — twenty seconds into the future.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

 

Shining

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my fine friends!  I like to do something a bit risqué or otherwise fun on the weekends, so let me show you one of my favourites for special occasions.  R2 Fashion A/D/E is the place to go to for your transparent latex fashion needs!  I know Jaz has shown some to you, and I have shown some in the past as well.  This is Baika, and it comes in three separate pieces (jacket, bra & panty set, and boots).  There are six different colours, so you can mix and match if you like, or go thematic.  I really loved the gold!

  • R2 Fashion A/D/E — Baika Jacket, Bra & Panty set, and boots (sold as three separate pieces) (Maitreya only) (6 colours
  • Evelock — Celtic Sheaf Fire Opal Necklace & Earings
  • Elven Isles — Golden wings earcuffs
  • *Eternal Dream* — Winter Spirit 02 pose

I don’t know how R2 does it, but they have gotten the materials down to a science.  The gloss on the transparent bits as well as the shine on the metallic ones are exquisite.  It’s hard to imagine how they could be improved upon.

The one drawback, perhaps, is that R2 works in Maitreya fitmesh only.  If you’re a Maitreya user, then you’re in luck!  If not… I fear not so much.  As most of R2’s items have significant transparent features, use of alpha zones is not really an option.

If you are a Maitreya wearer, you owe it to yourself to stop by R2 Fashion A/D/E and take a look around.  You’re sure to find something tantalising!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!
