Fluttering by the lines

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I’m SOOOO ready for summer with a little mix-and-match for your midweek! The organic lines of Hilly Haalan‘s Butterfly Top balance the geometry of Alaska Metro‘s new Juana miniskirt!

It’s a nice chance to augment with a new necklace and earrings from EarthStones.  Flight of Fancy is a bead-and-butterfly themed jewelry set, components available independently, with two different choices of necklace length.  Each has a texture-change HUD included, allowing you to alter bead, butterfly, and metal colours.

Alaska Metro‘s Juana is available in six different palettes, in five standard rigged mesh sizes plus fitmesh for Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus, SLink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara.  Hilly Haalan‘s Butterfly Top comes in the standard five rigged mesh plus fitmesh for SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara.  The Butterfly Top comes in two varieties, “casual” and “glam”, each with a 20-texture HUD!

Happy Hump Day!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Dark fae

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I wrote a while ago about the importance of colour.. and it seemed, even then, to be somewhat of a trite statement.  But it’s still so true.  I got this lovely little dress combo from Spyralle, and in the daylight hours, the iridescence didn’t make up for the grey… and fortunately I held on to it.  But oh oh oh — a dark angel / dark fae theme at my favourite girls’ club?  All of a sudden, Thornweaver Dusk took on new life!

Thornweaver features Omega appliers / standard SL clothing layers and a few different flexi skirt options.  It feels just painted on (in a good way), and the subtle colour gives a perfect iridescence.  The matching wings are unscripted, but just the right amount of flexi to flutter as you walk or dance.

A change of hair, a change of makeup… a change of mood?  And a new pet, perhaps….

If you don’t mind, I need to go take my new… friend… for a walk… erm… flight.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Tastes of Spring

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

With the change in the seasons, Tres Chic starts today, and Petite Mort has two lovely exclusives just for the occasion!

Lara is a lovely mesh dress in fitmesh for Maitreya Lara, SLink Physique and Hourglass and the standard SL avi.  It comes in six lovely colours, two of which I’ll show you today.

Melora Frost at Petite Mort really does such a lovely job with textures.  Her tastes fit perfectly with my wardrobe!

If you haven’t visited Petite Mort before, you simply must.  Melora has a wonderful eye for the bohemian style.  Stop by Tres Chic and check out the exclusives — and the rest of the market — there are so many wonderful things to see!  Don’t dawdle, Tres Chic is only around for a limited time!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Warm and flirty

Mmmms, a warm snuggly sweater and a short skirt and cute boots?  Yes, they’re more happy gifts from Baby Monkey.  Complete the look with stockings and suspenders from Alaska Metro and it’s a warm and flirty look that I just love.

Is the skirt a bit short for stockings?  maybe… but I kinda like the tease.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The light of dawn

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Sister of Selene, goddess of the Moon, and  Helios, god of the Sun is Eos, goddess of the dawn.  Spyralle‘s  Eos is just as bright and beautiful as her namesake!

  • Spyralle — Eos gown, updated with Omega appliers
  • Luminesse — Sea Turtle Purple/Green/Orange Agate necklace & earrings
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Grape Leather)
  • GLITTER — May Group Gift #2 pose

I love Luminesse’s honu Sea Turtle jewelry sets! They are bright and cheery and feel like they are at once casual and fancy — or can be, whichever you need.  And when you are wearing purple hair, that’s exactly the flexibility you want!

Kerryth has updated Eos with Omega appliers, although it’s still available in SL clothing layers.  It features several different flexi add-on pieces to complete the gown, gauzy and gorgeous!

Stop by Spyralle and take a look at her Omega-updated outfits, as well as all of the beautiful mesh.  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!

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!

Irridescence

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Aloha kakou!  The Fall Equinox has come and gone, and in the northern hemisphere, days are speeding shorter, there’s a cool breeze in the air.  October is coming, and Carrie’s Lingerie is ready for it!  Carrie has put together six lovely complete costumes for the VIP group — with clothing, accessories and skins — guaranteed to make an impact on whatever fancy dress party you might choose to attend!

I get to show you one of these, but if you follow Carrie’s on flickr, you can find pictures of others.  This is the lovely Irridessa!

Irridessa includes omega appliers for skin, makeup, bra and panty, mesh wings, anklets and pointy elf-ears, and flexi-prim silks.  It’s nearly all-in-one!

irridessa_c009

Normally I’d avoid green hair, but the light mint really complements the skin and ‘kini colours.  A good lavender or golden blonde works as well.  Blue liked the blonde, but I feel much more at home in lavender skin than I do in blonde hair.  🙂

These costumes truly are a treat.  Stop by Carrie’s Lingerie, become a VIP member, and enjoy.  They’re incredible, and you’ll be ready for fancy dress… or maybe a little bit of everyday.

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!

A Glass of Burgundy

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Carrie’s Lingerie has brought us a lovely gown and lingerie set, the lovely Brea.  As a gown, Brea features a lovely flexi skirt to complement the Omega applier / SL layer body and stockings (and gloves).

Brea_c013

The lingerie features the same body/torso as the gown, save without the transparent panel.    Brea is a beautiful gown, and reminds me of Carrie’s older Holiday Sparkles gown.  (Oooh, an applier re-release of that would be wonderful, Carrie!)

Mahalo, and a hui hou!
