Stars swirl like snowflakes

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Despite warmer temps somewhere, it is winter yet.

The White Armory knows…. and brings a weekly group gift for us, a gift of Winter Starlight.  I know I teased you last week with a White Armory gift that had just gone off, but this one is there in-store for you right now, for the next week!

Winter Starlight consists of standard layers and mesh and prim pieces.  I do love prim skirts, they swirl and flutter so prettily!  The overskirt for this is transparent with sparkling stars that flutter around me like fireflies, like snowflakes.

The wings are non-scripted but quite beautiful, and have a natural wave to them as you move, walk, or dance.  They come in both glow and non-glow options.

I would be remiss not to mention this new updo, on special now at Alli & Ali, at half-price for group members!

One more, my favourite, a little slice of contrasts….

“I am grey, I stand between the candle and the star –

we are grey, we stand between the darkness and the light.”

Mahalo, my friends, and aloha!

A touch of the orient

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Places, Reviews

I love the serene beauty of the Orient, and Dressed by Lexi brings us a wonderful little special priced just right as a current promotion!  The satiny Narcissus comes in four colours and has just been updated with Omega appliers and repriced for a limited time!

I have to show off this lovely sim.  Japan Momiji is a beautiful little slice of Japan, and the perfect venue to show off this little neg!  I had a thrill of a time wandering around exploring!

After wandering around in my favourite sandals, I made sure to take off my shoes before entering buildings.

Narcissus_015e

Narcissus includes standard layer negligeé and thong with Omega appliers available separately, with mesh pieces for ribbons/flowers at the hip, and skirt elements, as well as sticks for your hair.  They’re beautifully detailed!

Narcissus_008e

To be quite honest, I’m sure that Narcissus is not entirely appropriate for wearing in the public, and I hope I did not violate cultural mores.  But it was just me and the sea there this morning, so if you don’t tell, hopefully no one will mind.

I’m so excited to see Lexi re-releasing standard layers as Omega appliers, and I can’t wait to see what she comes out with next!

I understand that in Japan, “sayonara” is actually not common, and that among friends it is more common to say “mata ne”.  So, mata ne!  Aloha!

Tantalising 20s

Aeon 1 Comment Fashion, LotD, Places, Reviews

I know it’s just selective memory – or wishful thinking – that makes the roaring twenties seem like such a wild and carefree time, but who can resist the clarion call of the bandstand? The swish of fringe as flappers wound their way through smoke-filled rooms, dancing and flirting?

Dressed by Lexi helps bring those days to life with Tantalize, a beautiful flapper dress newly re-released with Omega appliers!  The dress comes with standard layer upper and lowers, and mesh fringe (which shimmers nicely when you walk or dance) in two sizes, for ‘average’ and ‘curvy’ figures.  To make matters better, Lexi has put Tantalize on special pricing until Thursday, 2016/01/13. The Omega appliers replace the standard layers,  are sold separately for a small (and reasonable) fee. Tantalise is available in six jewel-tone colours, each sold separately.

With or without stockings?  I thought the the lace-top backseam stockings by AviCandy would give it a more racy look – but when I look at the pics without, they almost look more scandalous!

I had a whirl of a time visiting the Chicago Fiume, a little slice of the Chicago 1920s. Stop on by, you never know where you might find a speakeasy down a blind path.  Knock twice, and tell them Aeon sent ya.

Tantalize_001_s

I stopped by Dressed by Lexi looking to pick up just the dress and applier, but found the accompanying jewelry set and couldn’t resist! The set contains the necklace, earrings, and two bracelets, and comes with a HUD that includes gems choices to match each of the dress colours.

Tantalize_010My hair here is “Evelyn” by Alli & Ali. This beautiful little cut features a ribbon and sequins (on both front and back) that are hud-driven for a variety of colours for each. You can also set the ribbon and sequins for ‘invisible’. I love to wear it with a pair of goggles up over my forehead for a steampunk outfit as well!

It’s time to make my escape before those dodgy fellows in the alley look my way!

Aloha, all!

The Sweetest Kiss

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

What better for the New Year than an elegant offering from Dressed by Lexi.  Lexi features some of the most amazing gowns that I’ve found in SL, and at fantastic prices.  Today I’ve got Lexi’s January Group Gift to show you, the golden Midnight Kiss.  The dress features a tantalising cutout from shoulder to hip, sliding into a slit up the left leg.  It’s wonderfully sultry!MidnightKiss_004

MidnightKiss_006

Midnight Kiss comes in the standard five mesh sizes.  You’ve likely heard me comment before about trying to dance in mesh gowns: they don’t move right, and it’s often painful to watch.  Mind you, I’m not sure what to do in such a gown, typically, other than pose for pictures!  Lexi has solved this by including two prim pieces with this gown, one for each leg. This gives the gown a lovely flowy appearance and feel, and makes it perfect for dancing.

A necklace would have been too much, I think, given the tight strap at the shoulder.  I’ve complemented this outfit with some fire-opal earrings trimmed in gold from Evelock.  I’m typically a fan of blue-green opal, but the fire opal is just right for this gown.

MidnightKiss_010

Lexi offers several other shades for this gown, and for the month of January they’re all on reduced pricing.  I’m going to go and take advantage of that, the Sapphire shade is brilliant, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou, my friends!  Aloha!
