Relay for Life magic

Aeon LotD

A spring evening, a glimmer in the moonlight, a glimpse of something magical…. Carrie’s Lingerie offers Dreamy in lime, complete with lingerie, wings, and makeup as an exclusive supporting Relay for Life!

Some matching makeup?  Dreamy includes eyeshadow and lippy, and it works so well with the ensemble.

I’ve added the Forest Edge mask from Spyralle and a beautiful pendant from EarthStones here.

Carrie’s mainstay has been in standard layer and applier items, and Carrie does it to good effect.  skin-tight clothing, things that should look painted on work so very well!  Add in some flexi gauzy panels and we’ve got something beautiful going on. Now… if you want something a little racier,  Carrie’s Lingerie includes two options in Dreamy: the opaque butterfly top and panty shown above… or a very lacy one shown below.

Best of all, Dreamy is one of three outfits offered by Carrie’s Lingerie for Relay for Life.  Proceeds go to the fund, so please stop by and help out the cause, and get yourself a little treat in the bargain.

And those stars?  Those are my falling stars from Blue’s Fantasy!  They’re in the inworld store, so check them out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Catty Polka

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A little lace, stockings and gloves from Carrie’s Lingerie, a bit of moonlight… a little wine and the right company, and that makes for a lovely evening.

Catty Polka is a beautiful Omega applier/SL standard layer lingerie set in six lovely accent colours.  And as usual, each part is individually selectable.

My favourite ribbon from .wound and Tantalize earrings from Dressed by Lexi complete the look.

Now… as sexy as this is, won’t you help me out of it?

It’s always fun to see what new sexy designs Carrie’s has for us.  Stop by and take a look!

Mahalo — a hui hou!

A splash of warmth

Aeon LotD, Reviews

Yes, I can celebrate the ice and snow one day and the warmth and the surf the next — or a couple days later, anyway!  Spyralle‘s lovely mu’umu’u is perfect for enjoying the late afternoon Sun.  And it’s just perfect to welcome Oahu back to SL.  I don’t know how long it’s been back, but this happy little sim holds a place dear to my heart, and I was sad when it closed up about a year ago!

A plumeria for the hair and a blossom on a nice gold chain are courtesy of Island Style Designs.

Spyralle‘s lovely styles and wonderful gifts will thrill you throughout the year.  Stop by, become a member, and enjoy Kerryth’s fine work.  If you’re not familiar with how Kerryth runs the group, Spyralle‘s VIP group alternates between free and a fee.  When there’s a gift offered, there’s a charge, and when there’s no active group gift, it’s free.  You can wait until it’s free, but I have to tell you: there is a HOST of lovely gifts — including this mu’umu’u — available to members right now.  It’s so worth joining and holding on to that membership.  I’m not sure how long the gifts will be there, so I hope you take advantage of it right away!

Happy Monday, my friends.  Hold Aloha in your hearts, it will warm you any day of the week, every week of the year!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A ranger for a silvan moon

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A silvan moon?  Is that like a Forest moon?  or a little nod to the passing of Gene Cernan?   Certainly the Ranger probes didn’t land among the trees.

No, it’s a desperate attempt to come up with a clever title to share Silvan Moon Designs‘s beautiful Ranger of Islavare.

Daisy Wreath from Caverna Obscura is an old favourite, but the Family Tree of Life pendant is a lovely new item from Earthstones.  It features a choice of metal options, plus three gems that are independently selectable from the “standard” set of birthstone colours.

Ranger of Islavare is featured in five different colours — four of which are shown here.  Shadow (shown at the top) is a lovely black theme, and below you can see Hunter (sagey green), Brooke (dark blue), and Rune (aqua).  There’s also Secret, a beautiful dark red (not shown).

Ranger features the dress, leggings, cloak and matching boots (not shown here).  Dress and leggings are available in the five standard rigged sizes plus standard, Slink Physique and Maitreya fitmeshes.  There are also standard layer and Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya appliers for the leggings to help you work better with legging/boot conflicts.

Silvan Moon Designs keeps coming out with amazing work.  Stop by and give them some love!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The Importance of Colour

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

It sounds silly — and obvious — but sometimes all it takes is the right colour to really make an outfit come alive for you.  Months ago I’d blogged Esyld by Spyralle – a lovely gown/dress in some very lovely earth tones.  Quite pretty, but… I’ll admit, I never really wore it much after that.  The colour was nice, but… it didn’t speak to me.  Just last week, however, Kerryth put the green version of Esyld on 50L special — and now it sings.

EssyldGreen_c007

  • Spyralle — Esyld Green gown/dress/skirt and bustier (who knows?)
  • Maxi Gossamer Jewelry — Shell Teardrop Pendant (short) and Earrings, Sea Green
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather
  • ProPose — Group Gift September 2016

I’m still not quite sure whether to think of Esyld as a gown or as a dress.  Maybe it’s really a skirt with an interesting bustier.  The laced back detail is really rather amazing, and it has this lovely little gauzy overskirt in the rear.  It’s all mesh, so there’s no flutter, but it adds a lovely touch.

EssyldGreen_c008

I had been a bit at odds for jewelry to complement Esyld.  My first thought was something nice and angular, lots of curly filigree certainly wasn’t the right touch.    I happened to stumble on this lovely abalone necklace and earrings from Maxi Gossamer Jewelry.  While it’s not angular, somehow it works.
 EssyldGreen_c002

It’s a pleasure when you look at an outfit and just think yes.   Sometimes you have to find the right colour, sometimes it’s the hairstyle, or the jewelry, or the shoes.  And then — then you hit that magic combination, and all those components come together and it just feels right.

That’s when these pictures are an absolute joy to take.

Now — I don’t know how long Kerryth will have Esyld green on special, so it’s worth swinging by.  At this price, it’s too good to pass up!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Dominion amongst the trees

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

The White Armory offers a lovely group gift for us this week, The Queen of the High Fells.  This beautiful mesh mermaid gown comes with flexi add-ons and an optional wide collar with opaque and semi-opaque options.

HighFellsDominion_c004

  • The White Armory — Queen of the High Fells – Dominion (group gift, 2016/08/28)
  • Angel Fae — Jade and Silver necklace

I’ll admit to a few problems with this gown – the mesh is beautiful, but I had difficulties making it work with my Slink Physique body.  The alpha works fine with the system body, but the bust and neckline wouldn’t play nicely with the alpha zones on the Physique.  Of course, that’s as much a problem of the Physique alpha zones as it is the gown.  Fortunately, the expansive collar hides a few alpha ills.

HighFellsDominion_c003

Removing the collar leaves a simpler yet elegant gown that reveals the jade and silver necklace from Angel Fae.

The Queen of the High Fells will only be on gift at The White Armory until Sunday, so get down and pick it up!

Captivating

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Dressed by Lexi brings us a lovely gift this month, the seductive Captivate gown.  Lexi has created all of my favourite gowns, and Captivate is a very sexy little number with Omega appliers and a flexi-prim skirt, the best for dancing!
captivate_c006

I’ve added a lovely little jewelry set from (Style Society).  This was a gift from one of my first friends in SL, and it makes me think of her every time I wear it!

captivate_c009

Captivate is available in six beautiful colours, and Lexi has shoes and a jewelry set to match them.  They shoes and jewelry set feature texture-change HUDs, and are sure to accentuate not only this gown, but other items in your wardrobe as well.

Take a look at Dressed by Lexi today, I’m sure you’ll find it just as… captivating.

Mahalo, and a hui hou!

A New Moon

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

A few days ago, I had the pleasure to share with you a lovely collaboration between Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises and Bee Dumpling at The White Armory, two of my favourite period and fantasy designers.

Solas and Bee have forged this new collaborative effort into Silvan Moon Designs, featuring mesh clothing made by Solas and textured by Bee.  The first release under the Silvan Moon label is Calista Rain, a beautiful mesh wedding gown featuring rigged and unrigged mesh belt versions, and flexi cape and empire skirt that flow beautifully.

CalistaRain_c017

Solas’ skill with mesh can hardly be overstated — those aren’t applier gloves, they’re fitted mesh!  And Bee’s exquisite texturing brings it to life!

As I was getting this blog post together, I received word that Bee and Solas are releasing Calista Rain in a variety of colours!  I’ll have to post a few more pics later.

The Silvan Moon offerings are currently available at both Blue Moon Enterprises and The White Armory Shops, as well as a small Silvan Moon Designs shop.  Come and take a look!
