Eternal Dream poses

Snowfall

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

There’s something right and beautiful about celebrating the turning of the year with lights…. our memories of the past light our today, the hope of the future lights the path ahead.

Aloha kākou! Mele Kalikimaka a Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!


Aeon’s pose is Me from {Way} (now Lov poses)

I recently discovered Carpe Noctem, and have another wonderful little warm snuggly outfit to share with you. This is the lovely Iby cable-knit sweater dress, and it’s individually available in twenty different colours and ten different patterns. Like the Andie top, you can get each of the patterns separately — no colours/textures are reserved for the fatpack!


Aeon’s pose is Winter Spirit 02 from *Eternal Dream*

Iby is available in Legacy, Legacy Perky, Lara, and Lara Petite fitmesh. Lara Petite! I’m over the moon! The patterning here is just really perfect, the snowflakes look just wonderful.

I added my Snow Flurry necklace and earrings from EarthStones, as well as some lovely gold tights from Alaska Metro <3.  They’re the perfect complement to the gold and silver snowflake motif of the dress.


Aeon’s pose is Dust in the Wind (mirror) from Luanes World

It’s been a long year… and 2021 will definitely have its share of challenges — but I wish you a wonderful new year filled with light and peace and love. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!

A winterfae

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

It’s past Christmas, and perhaps many lights have faded… the winter is long and dark yet before the spring comes….
but there is light in the deep wood, if you are quiet… and patient.

There is magic that sparkles in the snow.

As I roam about SL, and SHOP!  I sometimes find wonderful little things that are JUST PERFECT and I know exactly what to do with them.

And sometimes I find things that are just perfect… but I know they need something… to make them sing, to make them truly come alive.  I love those maybe the most — the mix-and-match, the outfit, the look that is truly one-of-a-kind, because no one else thought to put those things together

I’d been playing with the beautiful Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods for months, and I’ve had the Snowflakes outfit from Caverna Obscura for a couple of years.

It was truly the beautiful Lightbringer antlers from Spyralle that made me know I had the look I wanted.  They include a HUD to set the jewel/light colours at the tips of the antlers, as well as options with or without the headpiece and headpiece texture.  I couldn’t resist the opal, it goes so well with the skin.  Add to that a beautiful body shimmer from Stargazer, and.. presto.

Now, a quick word about Stargazer Creations: while they have a Marketplace store, it’s empty — and the listed in-world location is a sim that no longer exists.  That said, Stargazer has booths at many of the events that I frequent, and have some remarkable things there.  I’ll update this if I find a new in-world location, but you just need to keep your eyes out!  Stargazer uses Omega Evolved appliers, but includes a Maitreya applier, too.  I think it works really well, but try out their demo, and use proper lighting!  You might try contacting the owner, Aggie Mactavish, to find out more.

Clearly I couldn’t choose just one or two pics.  This is a new favourite…. and it has me almost wishing the snow stays for weeks and weeks and weeks.

Almost.  🙂

The Autumn Queen

Aeon LotD, Moments

By many reckonings autumn has not yet begun, but for many of us the feeling of change is in the air, and we start looking forward to the turn of summer to fall.  The Sisters of Eden appointed our new queen this past weekend, and our newly-crowned Sister was gracious enough to let me take an hour of her time for photographs.

Ladies and gentlemen, with your permission, let me present to you the Autumn Queen, her royal floofiness, Kie Dagger!

Queen Kie is wearing the Fall edition of the Demeter Gown from Evie’s Closet.  Demeter is rigged mesh in four sizes with add-on flexis to create the gown.  While rigged mesh is a bit old-school these days, flexis are the best way to create a gown that’s good for something other than standing still for a photograph in.  Evie certainly has created some amazing gowns, and this look is absolutely gorgeous.

Queen Kie is the perfect neko.  Her tail and ears from Fluffy Bushy appear to be no longer available, but the whole ensemble (skin, gown, tail & ears and hair) work beautifully to create her elegant look.

There are stressful times as a photographer and there are easy times.  I was very glad that Luane of Luane’s World Poses had already converted her sim to autumn.  Luane’s World is a beautifully decorated group of sims, and it’s the perfect backdrop to many of my photo shoots.

Believe it or not, autumn is one of my favourite times of the year.  There is a special beauty — beyond the brightly coloured leaves, beyond the pumpkin spice everything.    Our lovely Queen embodies that peace and quiet grace.   I wish you all a wonderful Autumn!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

An iridescent Friday

Aeon LotD

Aloha!  Happy Friday my friends!  I have this wonderful little iridescent ‘kini that I picked up earlier this summer from Quirky, and because of RL issues I just never got the chance to share it with you.  This is Belle, available in three different holographic/iridescent colours.

It’s a little shiny, a little sparkly, a lot lovely.  A lot how I hope your Friday is!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Faerie of the Star

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy aloha Friday, my lovely friends!

I’ve been playing a lot with exotic skins lately, mostly from Fallen Gods.  I’ve been on the lookout for new and interesting outfits that not only look good with the skin, but perhaps more importantly, that enhance the appearance of the skin: combinations that make both the skin and the clothing better.

I stumbled across such an outfit at this month’s We Love Role Play — the Tengu Precious from Sasheba’s Closet!

Tengu comes with a hud with three colour scheme options (silver, gold, larimar), but is tintable.  I added a little violet to the larimer, and got something that was just PURRRFECT for the Sidera skin from Fallen Gods.

So, the bad news, I just took TOOO many photos… so I’m going to let the outfit speak for itself… as I dance beneath the starry ‘verse.

My wonderful friends, I hope that you have a happy relaxing weekend!  You can still get to We Love Role Play over the weekend, don’t delay!  There are SOOO many beautiful things to find!

A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Adieu (but not goodbye!!!)

Aeon Events

Not everything at Fantasy Faire is fantasy or sci-fi related!  Adieu Grunges is a lovely minidress and corset from Mishmash Fusion that fits well in nearly any contemporary setting!

  • Mishmash Fusion — Adieu Grunges minidress & corset (8 texture hud) (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/Curvy/Fine/Standard fitmesh)
  • EarthStones — Tumbled Stones (Spectrum) necklace, earrings and bracelet
  • Maitreya — Zoie boots (black)
  • *Eternal Dream* — Winter Spirit 04 pose

It’s a lovely little minidress… just cheeky enough!

There are so many wonderful things at Fantasy Faire, and every one helps contribute to the fight against cancer.  With 16 sims, you can always get in somewhere and have a look around.  Fantasy Faire 2019 is only here until May 5, and there is SO MUCH to see.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Shining

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my fine friends!  I like to do something a bit risqué or otherwise fun on the weekends, so let me show you one of my favourites for special occasions.  R2 Fashion A/D/E is the place to go to for your transparent latex fashion needs!  I know Jaz has shown some to you, and I have shown some in the past as well.  This is Baika, and it comes in three separate pieces (jacket, bra & panty set, and boots).  There are six different colours, so you can mix and match if you like, or go thematic.  I really loved the gold!

  • R2 Fashion A/D/E — Baika Jacket, Bra & Panty set, and boots (sold as three separate pieces) (Maitreya only) (6 colours
  • Evelock — Celtic Sheaf Fire Opal Necklace & Earings
  • Elven Isles — Golden wings earcuffs
  • *Eternal Dream* — Winter Spirit 02 pose

I don’t know how R2 does it, but they have gotten the materials down to a science.  The gloss on the transparent bits as well as the shine on the metallic ones are exquisite.  It’s hard to imagine how they could be improved upon.

The one drawback, perhaps, is that R2 works in Maitreya fitmesh only.  If you’re a Maitreya user, then you’re in luck!  If not… I fear not so much.  As most of R2’s items have significant transparent features, use of alpha zones is not really an option.

If you are a Maitreya wearer, you owe it to yourself to stop by R2 Fashion A/D/E and take a look around.  You’re sure to find something tantalising!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Aloha, my friends!  A couple of treasures to share and a couple of events to mention on this lovely Friday!  First, let me share the Lady Tiana gown from Silvan Moon Designs, exclusive for Enchantment!  Enchantment takes you to the New Orleans bayou celebrating The Princess and the Frog, and Solas and Bee have created the perfect gown in commemoration!

I really loved how the hairpin flower from Geist and the Leah jewelry from*AvaWay* carry the organic floral motif of the gown.

These events won’t last forever!  Both the Okinawa Summer Festival 2018 and Enchantment last through the end of August!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Blooming

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Have you been to Midsummer Enchantment yet?  Kerryth from Spyralle has a magical headpiece and collar just waiting to frame your beautiful face!

The collar has a lovely vine closure detail in the front which serves as a beautiful necklace/choker for you.  The texture HUD changes both items together, although if you wanted different colours you could wear and set them separately.

I don’t normally wear reds and pinks, they don’t tend to work well with my colouring… but this Windflower shade just worked too well with Spyralle‘s earlier Sylvia release, and I couldn’t resist dancing.

The Sun Flower / Wind Flower / Moon Flower headpieces are a lovely accent to a beautiful gown or the perfect accompaniment for your garden fae.  Stop by Midsummer Enchantment before this bloom disappears!  The faire is full of other wonderful goodies, many with a darke/gothic flavour…. and many treasures just awaiting your discovery.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Spyralle’s Timeless Folly

Aeon Events, Reviews, Sponsored

Some big things are afoot at Fantasy Faire 2018, including a beautiful little architectural marvel by Spyralle.  Fans of Spyralle will know that Kerryth creates not only dresses and jewelry but other knick-knacks and decorations as well.  She’s created two lovely pieces for the Fantasy Faire, the first of which I’m showing you this morning.

I really love the little accents that make this a Spyralle special.  The most obvious is the fractal-decorated glass vaulted ceiling.  If you have full lighting effects on (shadows, in particular), that ceiling makes a gorgeous shadow below.

Timeless Folly has a beautiful sense of grandeur and scale…. with lovely little accents.   As rezzed, it has a default LI of 21.  Resizing will adjust LI accordingly, but be wary – adjusting the size back and forth can play silly games with LI and mesh — I had a small cute version at 4 LI, then resized to about half-default height — and ended up at 30!   That’s okay, it’s copy, so re-rez and start again!

Take a look at the Spyralle at the Fantasy Faire, and support the cause!

My outfit, from Caverna Obscura, was originally blogged here.
