Melting into Spring

From your silver-white winter, Solas from Blue Moon brings us a lovely dress for Spring!  Rebecka is an exclusive for the Fantasy Cream event, and is available only there until April 18!

Rebecka_019_c

Rebecka comes in three different fitmeshes for Slink, Belleza/Maitreya, and for the Classic SL body.  There’s a demo available, so please try that first!

Rebecka_023_c

Solas has created three lovely colours for Rebecka – the green-and-yellow Leaf shown above, the blue and green Sky shown below, as well as a lovely pink-and-coral Petal.  I’ll admit, I wasn’t set to turn blond today, so you’ll just have to stop by Fantasy Cream if you would like to see the pink!  But I feel so totally Dorothy in this lovely frock!

Please be sure to visit the Fantasy Cream hunt.  There’s a lovely head wreath for Blue Moon’s hunt gift,  and you can vote for your favourites and win some cool prizes!  It’s definitely an event not to miss!

Aloha and mahalo, my friends!

 


Lovestruck Juliet

“A lovestruck Juliet, sings the streetside serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that she made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, You and me, babe, how about it?”

Well, that’s not how Mark Knopfler wrote it – or sang it – maybe… but why should Romeo get all the gold stars for his efforts?  Well, maybe we won’t get into looking at the sexes in Shakespeare too closely.  I suspect that not-a-few doctoral theses have been written on that topic!

But we should take a look at this latest group gift from Blue Moon Enterprises.  Lady Juliet is a lovely mesh gown in fitmesh for the standard SL avatar, Maitreya, and Slink!

I need to point out the lovely filigree choker from Strength & Charm that Blue gave me for my rez-day.  This is such a delicate little bronze-gold beauty, with three glittering emeralds.  It is perfect for this gown!  Mahalo, dear heart!   And a note of sincerest thanks to Aries Oh at S&C — her customer service is the best.

One more pic?  Just because I like the shadows.  🙂

Stop by Blue Moon today.  Pick up this amazing gift, and take a look around at some of the other fantastic designs that Solas keeps bringing us.  Grab a demo or two, and you’ll be hooked!

In the meantime, mahalo, my friends, and aloha!


Pink world

Sometimes you just need to do something different.

In search of that ‘different’, my good friend Whit has decided to stop blogging after two years, and she’s been an inspiration to me here.  I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss her wit (heh) and her mentoring.  One of the things that she always enjoyed was pairing music with her fashion posts… so in her honour, a song from an obscure little band that I don’t know if anyone else has ever heard.  🙂

For me, ‘different’ is a little bit less dramatic – but only a little bit!  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises brings Darcy to Fair Play for the month of March.  Darcy is available in Slink and SL fitmesh, and it’s perfect!

Light pink typically does not go so well with my colouring, so a little trip to the salon was necessary.  Blond?  well, it’s something different.

Blue Moon also offers the Rose Crown as a lovely little gotcha gift, available only at Fair Play.

Darcy_003

I’m going to go back to my ginger, but it is certainly a bit different seeing myself as a blond.  It’s amazing how strongly little things – hair and eye colour for an avatar – can change the way you see yourself — or at least, the way that I see myself.  In any case, be sure to stop by Fair Play before this lovely little number disappears!

Mahalo, and aloha!


Beautiful batiks

I love a batik print, on cotton or silk – wearing it carries me back to the Islands no matter where I am, even in the deepest coldest winter.  This new release from Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises is just the thing, then, for the dark Februaries of the Northern Hemisphere!  Aisling is an all-mesh skirt-and-top combination in five mesh sizes with a resizeable mesh belt.  It’s breezy and just a little bit sexy!

The racerback top is light and cool in the warm tropic sun, and the celtic knot detail about the bottom hem is exquisite!  That detail is repeated around the bottom hem of the skirt as well.

Aisling_004_crop

Solas has given us four lovely batik patterns for Aisling.  The above-shown ‘Rain’ has shades of green and blue on a natural field, while ‘Wheat’ below features more earthy tones.

Aisling_010_crop

‘Sage’ has the loveliest greens…

… and ‘Blossom’ features magenta and lavender.

Please stop by Blue Moon Enterprises and pick up a demo.  I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed!

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!


A fair breeze

A flutter of wings, and a lovely dress for the coming spring!  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises has made a wonderful contribution to Fair Play, the fantasy extravaganza running now to the end of February.  Breeze as an lovely design to bring out your inner nymph!

BlueMoon_FairPlay_026

Breeze comes with two fitted mesh versions – one fit for the standard SL avatar, the other fit to the Slink Physique body.

BlueMoon_FairPlay_022

Breeze features four lovely colours, from forest (which you surely knew would be my first choice!) to the brown shades of earth, black night, and blue river.

Blue Moon has really made an impression on me with the attention to detail.  I love the lacing on the bracers, as well as the embroidered celtic knots on the corset.

BlueMoon_FairPlay_003

My wings are a lovely layered group from Bakki Beeswing at Fable Workshop.  Bakki makes some beautiful wings, and does some very nice work in layering different wing sets to produce a full multi-textured effect.  Yes, I am wearing all three of those sets of wings simultaneously!

Let me fold my wings to show you the detail on the back of the corset.

BlueMoon_FairPlay_011_crop

I really appreciate mixing and matching.  The poncho collar is a separate piece and is easily removed for the bare-shouldered look.  I particularly like the included leggings – and the ability to do without on the warmer days.  Now, a quick word of warning – in the above pic, I’ve mixed the earth leggings with the forest outfit.  That really sets off the brown embroidery in the corset and bracers!

BlueMoon_FairPlay_012

Breeze is currently available at Fair Play until the end of February.  I thoroughly encourage you to stop by and take a look, and please visit Fable Workshop as well!


Victorian Charm

Well, it’s been a busy few weeks, but I finally managed to get the latest gift from Blue Moon Enterprises!  Lady Charming is a lovely all-mesh skirt and jacket, with independent ruffles at the wrist, a lovely gauzy scarf, and a fine top hat to cap it all off!

LadyCharming5

Hats are always tough in SL, but Lady Charming’s top hat is not hard to fit well – although a good choice of hairstyle is important!

LadyCharming4

Despite the chill, I thought I’d doff my hat, and tie my hair up in a ribbon.  The ribbon is HUD-driven, and comes with A&A’s Evelyne hairstyle.  I really love this cut, it’s just a bit sassy, and perfect for costumes from Steampunk to Flapper (as you’ve seen here before), or just wearing around the town.

This gift has been around all January, so time is likely running out!  Stop by Blue Moon, you won’t be disappointed by the steampunk and fantasy apparel!

Aloha, all!
