As Arthur C. Clarke famously said “I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical”.
I’m with Arthur, but I’m a Gemini 🙂
This is a group gift from Baby Monkey, and includes system tops for all the signs, plus appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and Omega.
I don’t know about you, but Advent leaves me with a mess of an inventory that I slowly work my way through! Baby Monkey had a delightful suite of gifts for Advent 2016, including the lovely Raffaela sweater dress and boots. 
You’ve seen me with .wound‘s ribbon choker before — it’s one of my favourite pieces. It comes in three different HUD-driven palettes — vibrant, dark (shown) and a neutrals. Each one comes with unscripted and RLV versions. Unfortunately, while the RLV version works, it’s an older RLV script and is not updateable. Nevertheless, this is the best ribbon I’ve found!
The high suede boots have a lovely little shroud at the heel. Maybe not practical in the snowy slush… but oooo so cute!
Take a look on flickr for a few more images, including my favourites. If you’re not a member of Baby Monkey you should definitely free up a group slot. Over the past few years I have loved watching Pixie’s creations keep getting better and better!
Mahalo! A hui hou!
Newness for your inner geek! Let your nerdiness take over the ‘verse! Jadziyah at Eclectic Stars has some sweet mesh leggings for you! They’re maybe not the warmest for the winter, those are triangular cutouts! They’re fun and just a little cheeky.
Who wouldn’t want to be warm and snuggly in a hoodie like this? 8-bit graphics and a zipper down just so. Perfect for a tease of a t-shirt underneath… or just a little skin. Or even better, a pendant that that Daleks would surely love to get their hands on — a lovely little treat from the Harambee Gwassi-Kenya Charity Shop, complete with matching earrings.
The leggings are available in a host of fun patterns — stop by Eclectic Stars and check them all out!
Mahalo! A hui hou!
Two lovely little winter treats for you today — a beautiful little snowflakes jumper and some amazing jewelry from Earthstones! The jumper is an older one group gift from Calamitous Intent, but is a favourite for the cold winter months. 
I’ll readily admit, I love sparkle. Not cheezy bling, but beautiful sparkling lights. So when I saw the beautiful Twinkling Lights jewelry at Earthstones, I completely fell in love. There is a necklace, earrings, bracelet and anklet, sold separately so you can choose what you love. I love them all!
GLITTER —Always #3 pose
As you might expect, Twinkling Lights is a little script-heavy, but it’s not bad — just be warned that if you are on a heavy-traffic sim (a busy club?) and they monitor scripts, you might be up high on the board 🙂 BUT the sparkle is beautiful, and I’ve been wearing it mostly non-stop since I got it!
Wherever you are this holiday season, however you celebrate this time of year, I wish you happiness and light. Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
You know that bit where you find a creator that gets you? Someone who understands your style? I’ll admit I’m lucky to be sponsored by a number of such wonderful artists here on the blog, but let me squee a little bit about Eclectic Stars.
8-bit Christmas is a lovely version of Eclectic Stars‘ Shifty dress. I do so love a sweaterdress and tights in the cold months! I’m even more amused because the 8-bit-style images both evoke the `old’ days of computer graphics… but also fit in just fine with sweater graphics limitations!
I hope wherever you are that your season is filled with bright lights and starry skies… and friends and family surrounding you.
And… as a friend pointed out to me… some of the rest of us need to always know — ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻokahi wale nō, ʻaʻole ʻoe e poina ʻia. You are not alone, you are not forgotten.
Mele Kalikimaka a Hau’oli Lā Nui!
Mmmms ,warm and snug and still sexy for the winter? Yes, please! I love a sweater and tights, and Alaska Metro <3 has the lovely Heather sweater dress in 6 colours! It’s hard to beat a nice form-fitting sweaterdress in the cooler months.
Stay warm my lovely friends!
Mahalo! A hui hou!
It’s a while since I’ve posted something from one of my fav shoe stores, namely Baby Monkey. I was over there looking at group gifts and on the member’s specials board was this lovely daisy print dress and matching platforms with both the dress and the shoes at L$10 each. I had to grab them 🙂
The dress and shoes both have HUDs for nine textures each, plus you can change the metal for the buckles on the shoes. I really like this version, which fits my color range 🙂
The dress comes in standard mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for (takes a deep breath) Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis, Slink Physique and Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP. And the platforms have versions for Slink, Belleza, and TMP.
The Fantasy Faire has only a few more days left, but that’s still plenty of time to take advantage of some of the wonderful deals. Blue Moon Enterprises has a lovely gown blouse and skirt combination available in four different batik textures for the ladies: the lovely Saoirse. The all-mesh keyhole top and skirt are independently selectable, and come in the five standard sizes. There’s also a separate tiara and belt (sold as a combination). They’re only available at the Faire here!
The two purple shots here are the Saoirse “orchid”.
The “Amber” texture is a lovely earthy green.
The lovely “Aqua” (again with tiara and belt) is a beautiful light blue with green and lavender tones.
“Peridot” is a second green option, a bit brighter than the “Amber”. Again, without the tiara and belt, it becomes a lovely more casual outfit, accentuated by the unbraided Katie from Calico.
Please remember, all proceeds from the Fantasy Faire benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. It’s quite a noble cause, and every bit helps.
Mahalo! A hui hou!
Solas from Blue Moon Enterprises offers a beautiful set of robes (for men and for women) with a wizard’s hat for the Medieval Fantasy Hunt XV!
The hunt start is here, and there there is a Medieval Fantasy hunt group for discussion.
The Wizard robe is slink fitmesh. I had to alpha out arms, but that’s easy, and the result is gorgeous. Did I mention I love purple?
Okay, so what about the hat? Hats are such a royal PITA in SL, but they’re not impossible – and some hats are worth the work. If you’re comfortable – or willing – to try editing hair, you can make them work. If you haven’t tried it, here are a few basic ideas for making hats work.
And that’s really about it. When you move around, flexi tresses may flutter beyond the brim – but I’m not too worried about that. I can forgive a few sins during motion. I think that it really can be worth the work to get a nice hat to work.
I hope that’s useful. Good luck! Oh! Did I mention? MAKE A COPY OF YOUR HAIR FIRST! 😀
This is a fantastic hunt, and not to be missed. Head over to the hunt start, and visit Blue Moon! It is a kind of magic!
Mahalo, and aloha!
Ohhh, I’m a horrible tease, and I apologise in advance – but more on that at the end of this.
You may have noticed, I’m a bit of a sucker for medieval or faerie-inspired clothing. I accumulate far more than I can ever wear, but that doesn’t stop me! Last week’s group gift from The White Armory is a wonderful addition to my wardrobe. The Maiden of E’na Dorei gown is fitmesh, with add-on flexi sleeves.
The fitmesh is designed for the standard SL avatar, and not the Physique or Lara. Nevertheless, it fit my Physique body quite well, with just a little use of the alpha zones.
I love the details, they really make any outfit of this nature! Now, why am I a tease? Because I just found out that The White Armory changes their group gifts frequently, so this lovely item is no longer offered. What’s the moral, then? Make them one of your regular stops! You’ll hate to miss out on their next one! So please stop by and take a look.
Mahalo and aloha, my friends!
