Empyrean Forge

Twilight glow

Aloha kākou!  Hello, my friends!  The Snow Queen awaits you at the latest round of Enchantment, open now until December 2.  I wanted to share the beautiful gown from Silvan Moon Designs, Crystallis.

I usually shy away from pinks and corals — they often clash with my ginger — but I saw Bee’s colours in the Amaryllis style for Crystallis and I just fell in love.  I feel like I’m dressed in the sunset.

I don’t get enough opportunity to wear the Springleaf necklace from Empyrean Forge — it’s a large piece, and definitely requires a strapless gown — or at least a broad expanse of chest — so that it’s not crowded.  It works perfectly with the Crystallis gown.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!  If you are able, recharge, rejuvenate, refill with peace and strength for the week ahead.  If you are not able, find some time to breathe and take in a little peace…  and that rejuvenation time will come.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Return of the Roaring 20s

Aeon LotD

 

Aloha kākou!  Hello everyone, I’ve been having a lovely summer, with some nice time spent on the islands and some time spent working on some projects, but I’m back and excited to share some things with you!

This weekend the Sisters of Eden held a flapper party, capturing the spirit of the Roaring ’20s.  I’d had this lovely dress from Silvan Moon Designs, Ain’t Misbehavin, that I’d blogged before.  But since that time, I’d found a few new jewelry pieces and some much better hair, so I thought I’d share them with you.

The shot above uses the Flux pose set from ecru poses.  I picked it up at The Liason Collaborative recently, and they’re just a lot of fun!

The hair is definitely the biggest improvement over the old pics!  no.match has some amazing styles, and no.commission suited me best.  It felt perfect with the outfit — and with my own style.  I replaced the headband that came with Ain’t Misbehavin’ with an improved one, Clara, from Empyrean Forge.  It’s a better mesh and texture.  Yes, I know, the pic below is a bit dark to show it off, but what can I say, I really like the shot anyway.

The rear view really shows off the Petit Vigne back necklace, framed by the scoop back of Ain’t Misbehavin’.  The shot below also shows off the beautiful backseam Nyla stockings from Alaska Metro <3.

The original Ain’t Misbehavin’ post was back in 2016, almost exactly three years ago.  I can’t believe it’s three years old, but it does go to show that just because something is a little older doesn’t mean it’s still not fantastic.  A little updating and I’m ready to dance!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Take a chance on Lady Penelope

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha, all!  Let’s take a look at a gorgeous little treasure that Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have created for the Fantasy Gacha Carnival!  This is Lady Penelope, available for Maitreya and SLink Physique bodies in seven different lovely light shades.

I finally got this lovely necklace and earring set from Empyrean Forge.  I’ve been gazing at Springleaf for several months, every time I’d stop by We Love Role Play… and finally Jaz got downright tired of me waivering over it.  it’s a large piece — larger than I usually wear, but it’s perfect for a strapless gown like Lady Penelope.  The pieces come with HUDs that allow eight different texture choices for the leaves, eight jewel choices, and two metal choices!  It’s perfect for that elegant organic touch.

Oh, yes, and I splurged a while back on a membership to Truth Hair.  Their group gift (sent right out through the group messaging system!) for the month of August is Yuko, a lovely long straight hair with a host of styling options.  While I definitely don’t look like me with straight hair, Truth’s hair is top-notch and I’m terribly impressed with the styling HUD.  It’s a lot of fun to play with!

As usual, Solas’ mesh and Bee’s texturing just can’t be beat.  I love the diaphanous sleeves and bodice on Lady Penelope.  Stop on by the Fantasy Gacha Carnival and take a look for yourself!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A Bit of Boho

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

It’s still summer, still time to be a bit Bohemian and casual… and here are three outfits designed to do just that.

For a light and casual feel one can try out the Rhapsody top and skirt combo available from ArisArisB&W, which comes in six colors of pretty floral patterns with a HUD. The top features cute tassel trim along the hem of the top. Fits are provided for all major mesh bodies.

  • Top and Skirt: Rhapsody by ArisArisB&W
  • Jewerlry: Leah earrings and Georgia armlets by AvaWay; Peace Love and Harmony Bracelets by Earthstones
  • Hair: Hadeya and Lamar by Catwa
  • Pose: The Elena Series – Two by an lar

For a little darker, somewhat rich velvety look, good choices are items from Oubliette, including the Burnout Velvet Kimono top and Brujah Maxi skirt.

The top is available in five individual colors and includes an optional shirt in six colors. The skirt is available in six individual colors. There are also fat packs for both pieces, and fits for all the major mesh bodies are included.

Mixing and matching things is always something I love to do, and here is a fun example of that. The main parts of the ensemble are from the Arwen gacha set from Giz Seorn, available at the current Epiphany event. It consists of a lovely blouse, a bikini bottom (each available in thirteen colors, plus three rare colors for the top), and a gypsy belt and a gypsy necklace, each available in three colors. The outfit is Maitreya only, and while the components are available on Marketplace from resellers, those rare tops with the pretty patterns run some hefty Lindens. So if you are fond of gachas you may want to run over to Epiphany while you can and try your luck! I matched the Arwen set with flexi skirts from Caverna Obscura’s Starlight outfit, which while quite beautiful as it’s own outfit, made the perfect compliment to the Arwen gypsy look.

  • Top, Bikini, Belt, and Necklace: Arwen by Giz Seorn (gacha item at Epiphany)
  • Skirt: Starlight – Midnight by Caverna Obscura
  • Jewelry: Gypsy necklace and earrings by Earthstones; Boho ring collection by *KATE*
  • Hair: Haku by Argrace
  • Pose: shepherdess 3 by Axix

Come light a little incense with me, and I shall tell your fortune from the cards, my sweet friends! Cheers!

Comfy Casual

Jaz Fashion, Reviews

Hello my lovelies! Today I’d like to show you a wonderfully versatile jacket/dress combo outfit from Adorsy called Natasha. Just the jacket by itself is nicely tailored, with a little hanging belt and trim pieces. On top of that, though, it includes a dress that you can turn on or off, and a pair of panties that can be turned on and off as well.

It comes in seven single colors put it is the fatpack that really shines, with 30 colors for the coat, 40 colors for the dress, 30 colors for the panties/belt/pockets, 40 colors for the collars including 10 fur options, and 5 button options and 2 metals. There is also a loose version included for more flexibility with other clothes.

Here I have the jacket in a dark blue with a lovely flower print for the dress, matched up with a pair of starry leggings from Alaska Metro. The jacket allows separate color selections for the collar, the belt, and the pockets/sleeve trim, though I made them all light blue in this shot.

If you’d like a more upscale city look, here is Natasha with a white jacket and a dark blue dress and trim pieces.

For a lighter look, here I’ve gone with a pale shade for the jacket with an ombre dress selection.

Until next time my sweet friends! Cheers!
