Blooming

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Have you been to Midsummer Enchantment yet?  Kerryth from Spyralle has a magical headpiece and collar just waiting to frame your beautiful face!

The collar has a lovely vine closure detail in the front which serves as a beautiful necklace/choker for you.  The texture HUD changes both items together, although if you wanted different colours you could wear and set them separately.

I don’t normally wear reds and pinks, they don’t tend to work well with my colouring… but this Windflower shade just worked too well with Spyralle‘s earlier Sylvia release, and I couldn’t resist dancing.

The Sun Flower / Wind Flower / Moon Flower headpieces are a lovely accent to a beautiful gown or the perfect accompaniment for your garden fae.  Stop by Midsummer Enchantment before this bloom disappears!  The faire is full of other wonderful goodies, many with a darke/gothic flavour…. and many treasures just awaiting your discovery.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Tropical Punch

Aeon LotD

Happy Aloha Friday!  I’m so ready for something yummy with fruit in it to sip as the twinkling stars come out, as the breeze blows in from the ocean, to smell the blossoms in the air.  Tropical Punch from Nickki at Island Style Designs is just perfect for that evening out!

  • Island Style Designs — Tropical Punch gown (Belleza Freya & Isis & Venus/Maitreya/SLink Physique & Hourglass/Ebody/Ocacin/TMP/Tonic Fine & Curvy fitmesh, five standard rigged mesh sizes)
  • Island Style Designs — Real Plumeria Lei (rich delicate yellow pink)
  • Island Style Designs — Plumeria head piece
  • EarthStones — Mother & Child Turtles necklace and earrings
  • <K&S> — Loveliness #5 pose

 

The bright colours light up the darkest evening….

I really love how Nickki has put a bit of a sheen on this gown — it shimmers very nicely in darker lighting, and ripples just so under brighter lights.  The colours really come alive!

Happy Aloha Friday, but spare a thought, too, for the people of Puna and Leilani Estates as Tūtū Pele rumbles. There has been some amazing footage of the fissure eruption, and so far no one has been hurt, but Tūtū Pele is not to be trifled with!  You can find updates at Big Island Now.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!   Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Silvan Moon Design’s Moonstone

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The 2018 Fantasy Faire is here, and there are SOOO many goodies to share with you over the next week! Let’s start with this beautiful one from Silvan Moon Designs!  Moonstone may be my favourite gown out of SMD in quite a while — and that’s saying something!

Moonstone comes in three pieces – skirt, top/overskirt, and sleeves.  The mesh and texturing on each is lovely.

So, I feel kind of bad that I didn’t shoot the other amazing colours for this post, but you’ll just have to stop by Fantasy Faire 2018 and take a look for yourself.  Bee and Solas have a whole LOT of beautiful goodies for you at the Faire, and I’ll show you a few more over the next week.  But don’t dawdle — the Faire won’t last forever.  Ten short days, and it will be but a memory.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Feel the warm sun on your skin… feel the moana makani, the breeze off the ocean… the sand warm under your feet, the squeak as it shifts under your steps.

Baby Monkey has just released the Cara Tropics dress, a beautiful tight minidress with fourteen texture choices.  I think I’ll be tugging at the hem a bit, it’s that short!

Island Style Designs has introduced the loveliest pair of rubber slippahs.  The “flip-flops” themselves are well-detailed and come in versions for Belleza, Maitreya, and SLink flat feet, but what makes them special is the lovely little plumeria detail.  it features a texture-change HUD with twenty-two different plumeria blossom textures!

Cara Tropics is currently half-price for the month of April to all Baby Monkey group members  Stop by today and pick yours up!  Happy Aloha Friday!

Light as a sparrow

She woke early, as was her want, and stepped out through the early morning fog.  The smell of the spring was all about her, moist and earthy, the morning air chill, but she could feel the warmth that would come later in the day.

Sparrow Lightheart is available in eight lovely colours, and comes with applier tights for a less formal look.

Spring was finally coming… perhaps the cold would return in a day or two, or in a week… but it will not last, she could hear the life in the forest returning.  

Bee and Solas keeep turning out amazing work.  Stop by We Love Role Play and take a demo of Sparrow Lightheart (or better yet, just pick up the whole fatpack!) — and take a look around the rest of the event.  This is one of those monthly events that just does not disappoint.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Have a shiny Aloha Friday!

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!

Witchwood

So much happiness to share!  Petite Mort and Oubliette have moved to a new sim, Witchwood!  It’s a good opportunity to show you some lovely acquisitions I picked up from Petite Mort, the Royal Starlite sweater and the Burnout Velvet Skirt.

Both the Royal Starlight outfit and the Burnout Velvet skirt are slightly older releases.  They feature fitmesh for both SLink bodies and the Maitreya Lara.  Royal Starlight comes with a lovely little matching skirt, but I really liked how the top goes with the longer Burnout Velvet skirt.

Melora has created quite the beautiful little shopping experience at Witchwood.  There are many little scenes (like this one) that are perfect for taking pictures.  It’s really nicely done, stop by and have a look around.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Waiting for Spring

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Eden had its annual Spring Queen dance this past weekend, and it was the perfect opportunity for a new gown!  Paris METRO Couture had just the thing with Wild Bunch, a beautiful new creation in mesh and flexi.  This is the first hybrid gown that I’ve seen from Paris METRO, and I’m so glad for it.

This was the perfect gown for my Mokolea necklace and earrings set from Luminesse.  It now features the OptPlus script, so jewelry pieces can be menu adjusted for glow and/or full bright!

  • <K&S> — Candy #1 pose

PM has long understood that full-mesh gowns dance so very poorly, and have always had wonderful flexi gowns with applier tops.  But as lovely as their texturing is, appliers just can’t compete with fitmesh for realism in many circumstances.  Paris METRO Couture has combined the two here, crating a mesh gown with a flexi overskirt.  Be warned: as with any good flexi gown, complexity is high, but not critically so (in my opinion): the fitmesh component comes in at about 1500, and the overskirt at nearly 200.000.  With jewelry and hair, you’re probably clearing 300.000 total.  For a beautiful ball gown, that’s pretty low!

This flower mesh gown comes in three lovely patterns, please stop on by and take a look.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
