Spirit of the Deep

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy Aloha Monday!  The ocean beckons, can you hear her calling?




She looks with longing to home… feeling it always within her… and always on the horizon

You’re probably quite aware of a little affinity I have for exotic skins.. and for the ocean.  Take me to the sea, to the waves, wrap me in the embrace of the water.  Alia at  Fallen Gods has been playing the siren, feeding the call with a series of oceanic skins.  Today I just wanted to share Deep Spirit, a beautiful deep blue skin currently available at The Liaison Collaborative.  It’s available in two different beautiful versions, with the gentle texture of scales.

I’ve complemented the Deep Spirit skin with a beautiful little fitmesh gown from Caverna Obscura, the lovely Siren. It’s just gently iridescent, and the included pearl jewelry is just right for this naiad.

As the sparkling waters envelop you, feel the life surround you, drawing you back to the beginning

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderful sim that I visited for the shots. Las Islas is a wonderful island paradise, a beautiful setting for tropical photography, and a showcase of some really amazing tropical scenery, available at the store.   You’ve seen quite a few of my shots taken there, and will see more in the future!

Quick, before this edition of  The Liaison Collaborative comes to an end, stop by and take a look at Deep Spirit and all of the other goodies!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Sailors beware

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!

Bottom or Top?

Jaz Fashion, LotD, Reviews

That’s ‘pants’ or ‘jacket/blouse’ of course…. Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show off a selection of tops and bottoms for a range of occasions.

It’s summer! And time to be outdoors enjoying the fresh air. Nature beckons with a lovely jacket from Giz Seorn called Trixie, available in eight denim colors plus a fat pack that tosses in pretty designs such as this one. It’s available at the Vanity event. Complementing the light summer feel is a pair of my favorite jeans, Tali from Blueberry, with over 20 single colors, a fat pack, and even a separate leather fat pack.

Club time you say? How about a little bit of purple to shake things up? Returning to Blueberry again, the Bette top is very versatile, with both long and short versions and over 20 individual colors plus a fat pack. The pants are a sweet half-lace number called Toxica from Gulabi, with over 30 single colors plus a fat pack with bonus lace patterns.

  • Blouse: Bette Dress Shirt – Short by Blueberry
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Necklace: Endear Ladies Key Necklace and Gypsy Necklace – Black Pearl/Silver by EarthStones
  • Hair: VANILLA A and VENEZIA A by eXxEsS
  • Boots: Not Whyte Beaded Laced Ankle Boot by RFYRE
  • Jewelry: Boho Ring Collection by *KATE*
  • Pose: Semper Infidelis by Bauhaus Movement

On those days when the sun is maybe a little bright and it’s time for the floppy hat, we can still go with our Toxica pants, here in a light blue, and mix it with another offering from Gulabi, the Noctra jacket, which comes in an astounding 60 single colors, plus a fat pack with exclusive colors. What’s more, the jacket has a variety of different sections that can be recolored in the fat pack with any of the other colors; truly a very versatile top!

  • Jacket: Noctra by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Shoes: Celine by Astralia
  • Hat: MI Female Hat by Meli Imoko (Marketplace link)
  • Hair: Valentina by Truth Hair
  • Pose: Sexy 08 by Aeon Animation (no relation to our Aeon!) (Marketplace link)

And finally, when you *really* need to get away from it all, here is the Gulabi Noctra jacket again in one of its other colors, paired this time with the Leather Cult Pants from Aris Aris, which includes 12 colors. For good measure I added the Lola tanktop by Blueberry.

I hope you all enjoyed my little romp through tops and bottoms! Let’s see what I come up with next time, shall we?

Cheers!

 

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!
