Fantasy Faire 2021: In the golden light

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A golden glow, sparkling and bright, mystery and elegance and beauty.

Aloha! Greetings from the Fairegrounds!

A few little lovelies for you today. First let’s make very clear that -AZUL- is one of my favourite gown makers, producing some of the most lovely textured elegant gowns that I’ve found in-world. The beautiful Essi is no exception! It’s available at the Faire in gold or silver, with a beautifully textured golden accent. The silver gown (which I’m not showing you!) is particularly striking, as the golden detail against the silver makes a very beautiful two-toned contrast. The gold works a little better with my complexion, so I opted to show the gold gown!


Aeon’s pose is Frigg 1 (M) from Astalianda

That statue in the background is worth a closer look: it’s a beautiful set piece from from Cerridwen’s Cauldron called The Heart Mender. It comes in two versions: white marble (shown) and a crystal version. Both versions feature crystal hearts (one broken, one healed) in the hands. It will be a beautiful addition to your garden or hall! Oh, yes, and it comes with a planter garden surround (great for a garden) or without (better for the hall, probably).

There’s a wonderful set of masks from from AIR. Maschera a un’ala comes in gold and silver versions for Relay for Life, and has full, left, or right side only. I love the idea of the half-mask, so, here you go. It really works nicely, I think, with Azul’s Essi gown. The mask is resizable mesh, so getting a good fit is pretty straightforward.

You’ll also note the wonderful halo from *SR* design. The haloes come in seven different colours, and can be modified in colour. There’s a beautiful shimmering kind of effect, and a slow rotation of the whole thing. As i write this up, I’m wearing it with a purple fae that I wear while I dance on the Fairchylde. It mounts on the avatar centre, so it stays in place behind you as you dance, which is kinda neat. I’ll have to take another pic and show that off to you later!

I hope you are having a wonderful Faire-day! I will see you around the Fairegrounds!

A hui hou kākou!

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’alima Aloha! Aloha my friends, Happy Aloha Friday!

How many of us are sitting in our pyjamas? How long has it been since we showered? Since we brushed out our hair? I keep tying mine back to get it out of my face… but who’s going to see if I don’t get dressed today? Who am I trying to impress?

Pyjama days are great… for a day.. or two… and then maybe for me I start to go a little crazy.

So get cleaned up… brush my hair and put it up nicely… put on some smexy lingerie and a nice gown. Even.. just for me… I can look good… and it’s worth the time, every once in a while.. to remind myself what it is to feel good about how I look.  That I am worth dressing up for.

I picked up the beautiful Gizela gown from Azul … some months ago, and completely forgot about it, I fear. Too many days without going out fancy, and it was lost in my wardrobe. But I stumbled back across it the other day and thought “OMG, why haven’t I worn this?”

Gizela comes in all your favourite fitmesh fittings — Lara, Freya, Venus, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic. Now, I know what you’re thinking — “long mesh gowns are HORRIBLE for dancing, Aeon” — and you’re right. But that’s where Azul gets it right, too — they’ve added some wonderful flexi components to give the gown drape and swoosh. I’m so happy about this kind of gown construction: the best of mesh for the upper, and flexis for the lower. Yes, please, more like this! Oh, and this is Azul, so you can be sure that Gizela comes in a wide variety of colours!

Lastly, I want to give a shout out to Zan Sarai at Luminesse for the wonderful Mokolea Pololena jewelry set. I had a different coloured one (the lovely green Lekika) and had to pick up the blue and purple Pololena to go with this. I had a little issue with it, and Zan Sarai got back to me within an hour or two. She’s wonderful and you should go buy lots of things from her!

I haven’t posted Azul in ages

Azul come out with some nice group gifts every now and then.  This one is from last year, and yes, past group gifts are available in the store, at least for a while.  Their group is FREE to join.

As I said, this dress was a group gift from last year.  I know, I know, but when I thought of posting something from Azul, this one leapt out at me to photograph because of its colour.  I didn’t pay attention to when it was released 🙂  It comes in sizes for Lara, Venus, Physique, and standard mesh sizes for classic avatars.

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!

Azul March GG

blue LotD

This pretty little dress is one of three from Azul in March.  The other two gifts are the same dress in different colors.  Perhaps Azul needs a scripter to write them a texture change HUD? 🙂

 

Azul is FREE to join, and there are a number of past group gifts available at the store.

This dress comes in standard mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, eBody, Fine, Curvy, TMP, Hourglass, Physique, and Ocacin.

Snow and steam

This is the November group gift from Azul.  I unpacked it and looked and went OMG how am I going to photograph this?  Black is terrible for showing up detail, and the detail on this is rather nice, in a steampunky type of way.  Even with shadows enabled and a prim point light to try and pick up the highlights, my photos don’t do it justice.  You need to run and pick it up yourself!  Azul is FREE to join, and there are a ton of group gifts available when you do!

The dress is in standard size rigged mesh.  There are no special sizes for mesh bodies.  I tried it on Lara anyway, and it works, although I had to wear the medium size (makes note to go to the gym).

azul-gg-nov2016_003

As the dress is steampunk influenced, I found a nice Neo-Victorian alleyway to photograph in.  With the snow on the ground, I know the holiday season is just around the corner 🙂

LotD – What I wore for our anniversary party

blue LotD

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary last weekend, and our wonderful sisters at Eden put on a lovely party for us today!  A special thanks to our great friend Dana for DJing the event!

I thought I would let you know what I was wearing for a lovely few hours dancing with Aeon and all our guests.  The beautiful champagne colored dress is from Azul, who makes just the most amazing clothes.  My jewelry is from Beloved, one of my favorite designers in SL.  And hair is A&A, also a fav.

In the second picture, Aeon and I are wearing matching bracelets from JCNY and our ring, which was designed and made by my beautiful Aeon!
