Evelock

Supernova

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

There was a little story I heard on the social media earlier this week, and with apologies to the OP, I want to try to retell it for you quickly.

I went to the coffee shop and as the barista handed me my espresso, he leaned over and in a quiet voice whispered “Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle”.

Somewhat startled, I smiled and thanked him… and as I turned away to get about my day, I overheard his co-worker tell him “Aww, man, will you knock it off with your inspirational shit?  Nobody wants to hear that!”

He replied “I am NOT going to let YOU dull my sparkle!”

With that in mind… here is a little bit of sparkle!

  • Mishmash Fusion — Nyota Supernova minidress (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/eBody Curvy/eBody Classic/Altamura Sophia/Standard fitmesh)
  • Fallen Gods — Opal Laguna skin
  • Evelock Celtic Sheaf Lapis Lazuli Necklace & Earings
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Noir Leather)
  • an lar [poses] — The Irie Series – Two pose

Happy aloha Friday, my friends!  You’ve made it to the weekend!  How about something slink and sparkly and shimmery, perfect for going out to a little interstellar dancing?  I’d been looking for the right thing to wear with the beautiful Opal Laguna skin from Fallen Gods.  When I saw Mishmash Fusion‘s Nyota Supernova dress at the Sci-Fi con a couple weeks ago, I just knew it was perfect.  I didn’t get the chance to share it with you before now, but it’s the perfect opportunity!

It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me how much I like opal.  The skin has the most beautiful opalescent highlights and I just couldn’t pass it up.  When I saw Nyota Supernova, I knew it was just the perfect complement.  The dress is overall black, with green and blue texture highlights that are a wonderful match to the skin.  Better yet, the cutouts reveal a lot of the opalescent highlights without being completely bare!

Happy Aloha Friday, everyone!  I wish you a safe and relaxing weekend!  Show off your sparkle!

A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Sundown

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A goddess reborn in a city of gold, a living light upon an azure sea.

You may remember this skin from an earlier post, but when I saw the golden Marigold gown that Moonlitecat Creations was featuring for Fantasy Faire 2019, I knew that it would be perfect matched with Fallen Gods‘ water-gold Chronos skin.  And it works out well, Fallen Gods is featuring Chronos at the Faire as well!

I really love the detailing and texturing in this gown.  I can see the shimmer in the folds, even in the still image!  The oblique lighting angles cast some wonderful shadows that enhance the lay of the gown.

The evening light fades, the belt of Venus girdles the city, and the darkness closes in… but the light that is within shines bright.

  • <unknown pose>  (I’m sorry, I apparently didn’t record this one!)

I really love this aspect of shopping and exploring events such as this.  Full-up avatars are one thing, and full-up outfits are cool, but I really love finding things that go with other things and creating my very own look.

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!

 

 

Vellista Evenstar

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha, my friends!  Some lovely little treasures to share with you that I found at We Love Role Play.  I was a bit late getting to the event this month, so we’re a little behind!  Today I’d like to show the Vellista tunic from Senzifine.  It’s a lovely long-sleeved bare-shouldered tunic that can double as a dress.  I paired it with some leggings from Silvan Moon Designs’ Ranger of Islavare outfit, and the result is pretty magical.

This outfit just called out for some of my favourite jewelry — the Lapis necklace and earrings from Evelock and Spyralle‘s Forest Edge mask.

Just as the fae, all things are fleeting.  We’ve got about a week left for this month’s We Love Role Play, and about that much time for one of my favourite pose makers.  an lar [poses] is closing at the end of this month, and all her poses are half-price.  Their easy gentle style has really appealed to me, and I’ll be sorry to see them go.

So, you know — the lesson in everything is to take advantage of what comes your way, for you know not when it will vanish like a sparkled dream.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

a fae’s amusement

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Wow!  Summer classes have been keeping me busy, how much time have I let slip by without sharing?  I have a beautiful dress that I want to show you that I picked up at The Muses at We Love Role Play back in May, but it’s regularly stocked in the store now.  Daphne is a lovely wonderful little dress, just right for a dancing little fae.

Daphne comes in fitmesh for only three bodies.  I’m not sure how it will fit on Physique or the other two Belleza bodies, please try a demo!

There are 16 different textures available: ten in a lovely paisley pattern, and six in the beautiful leafy motif I’m showing you here.  You can see which is my favourite!  Say, that’s a bit cheeky….

Both palettes feature the gold lacey midriff section.  That part has transparency, so you must make sure that the demo works without using body alpha zones!

There’s always something lovely at We Love Role Play, and the anchor stores (such as The Muses) feature some really wonderful items.  Make sure you take a good look around!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Silvan Moon Design’s Moonstone

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The 2018 Fantasy Faire is here, and there are SOOO many goodies to share with you over the next week! Let’s start with this beautiful one from Silvan Moon Designs!  Moonstone may be my favourite gown out of SMD in quite a while — and that’s saying something!

Moonstone comes in three pieces – skirt, top/overskirt, and sleeves.  The mesh and texturing on each is lovely.

So, I feel kind of bad that I didn’t shoot the other amazing colours for this post, but you’ll just have to stop by Fantasy Faire 2018 and take a look for yourself.  Bee and Solas have a whole LOT of beautiful goodies for you at the Faire, and I’ll show you a few more over the next week.  But don’t dawdle — the Faire won’t last forever.  Ten short days, and it will be but a memory.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

embers of a raging fire

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The Santa Rosa fire caused devastation, taking the homes and properties of so many.  Kerryth at Spyralle turned the tragedy of the destruction of the Coffey Park neighbourhood to art in Ignis, a beautiful gown for the Trick or Treat Lane event, in memory of all the joys that lived there.  You can find it at Trick or Treat Lane, but only for a limited time!

There are three beautiful textures, but Ember matched my fiery curls just right.

All Hallow’s is past, but Trick or Treat Lane goes on until November 3rd.  Don’t miss out on this fiery beauty!

Aloha!  A hui hou!

  • <K&S> — Candy #2 pose

I thought about it a little more… and it’s true, there are many who fill my life with joy and love and laughter.  My Blue, my sister, my friends, the dear heart who helps me edit some images every now and again….   I have a hard time imagining where I would be without each and every one of them

But then, too, sometimes… you need your priorities right.  If you don’t love yourself, how would you expect anyone else to?  Stretch your wings and fly.

Luane’s World poses are on sale right now, 50% off many lovely things!

Be your dream.  Have a wonderful Friday, and a beautiful weekend, everyone!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Wickedly Enchanting

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Sponsored

Is anything so full of Enchantment as the gowns created by Bee and Solas for Silvan Moon Designs?  The fabulous duo brings you Lady Gothel for the May 2017 Rapunzel-themed Enchantment event.

Lady Gothel comes in five colours named (more-or-less) after the deadly sins.  My favourite colours aren’t hard to spot.  I like strong colours, and greens and blues and purples most of all.

I’ve always been an opaque-gemstone kind of girl.  Opal and lapis lazuli may be my favourites.  I’ve had this lovely lapis set from Evelock for ages, but you would think that Evelock and Silvan Moon worked together to create a matched set.

For those of you who may not know, Mother Gothel, the namesake of this gown, was the “evil witch” who kept Rapunzel locked away in her tower from Tangled, the Disney adaptation of the faerie tale.  She’s an interesting character, but I  prefer the representation from Into the Woods, the faerie tale play from Steven Sondheim.  Something about the depth of the Witch, her fear of loss — her actions become understandable, perhaps even forgiveable.

But I digress.

Wicked or not, let Silvan Moon Designs cast their spell over you… stop by Enchantment before this fleeting dream slips away.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Autumn moon

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Sometimes I have an item in my inventory that I rather like – but I just don’t seem to be able to find the right outfit to put it with.  It sits there lurking in the background, maybe even prompting the “should I get rid of it?” thoughts when I come across it.

Well, Owl Moon by Spyralle was one of those for me, until a week ago.  Eden was holding our Autumn Queen dance, and I thought of this gown — and with a few ingenious additions, put together an outfit that I can’t wait to wear again and again!

septembermoon_c008

Owl Moon is a lovely mesh gown (rigged mesh in the standard five sizes), and I’ll admit, part of the problem in my inventory may be my love to dance — and the… awkwardness… of some mesh gowns for dancing.  Well, part of that, of course, is to choose your dances appropriately.  Some shuffle-y dances from Humanoid did just the trick for me!

The wreath of daisies from Caverna Obscura accentuates the oranges and greens, as do a fire opal pendant and earrings from Evelock.septembermoon_c009

For the dance itself, I added a beautiful pair of wings from Faeline Fairy — because sometimes everyone needs to unfurl their wings.  Shigeko come in a several colour schemes, but the oranges and purples just seemed made for Owl Moon September.

septembermoon_c002

So, lessons? Go back and look at your inventory with fresh eyes, you might find new and exciting ways to use things — whether they’re old favourites or items you’ve never worn.  And don’t get rid of that pretty outfit just because you haven’t worn it yet, no matter how long you’ve had it!  😉

And go take a look at Spyralle — Owl Moon comes in a number of beautiful patterns!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
