Spirited

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have a wonderful treat for you at Shiny Shabby!  Spirit Maiden is a lovely two-part mesh gown (gown and overskirt) for SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara in five wonderful colours!

I really love this necklace.  Crescent Moon from Caverna Obscura features a little bling spot, but I’ll admit that I’m not crazy about bling.  Fortunately, the necklace is mod, so I could go in, edit linked, find the bling and remove it.  Perfect!

Spirit Maiden is available in five lovely shades but ONLY for Lara and Physique mesh bodies.  SL fashion definitely seems to be favouring these two bodies!  Stop by Shiny Shabby, pick up a demo, and give it a test drive!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Indira’s light

Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs bring us a new wave of fashion that I’ll show over the next couple of weeks.  Today is Indira’s Light, an elegant little mesh gown in four colours.

Indira’s Light comes in SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara fitmesh, and consists of two fitmesh pieces, a dress and coat piece (both shown).  There are flexi bits for a little swirl as you walk and dance, and two decorative mesh pieces at the belly and for the neck.  They’re extraordinarily elegant, although the neck piece looks like it might be a little pokey.  🙂

Stop by Silvan Moon Designs and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Moonlight

There’s just nothing like moonlight on a beautiful night, the scent of flowers on the evening breeze and your love’s hand in yours.

Shimmering Moonbeams is another lovely outfit from Moonlitecat Creations in three parts: a top in the standard sizes in both rigged mesh and fitmesh, and a skirt and shawl in rigged mesh plus fitmesh for Maitreya Lara, SLink Physique, and Belleza mesh bodies.

Moonbeams has the iridescent shimmer of opal.  Add some rainbow eyeliner from VileCult for that extra little touch — Aeon is always happy for more colour!

This little outfit was another I picked up from Moonlitecat Creations with that Advent giftcard!  It pays to follow your favourite vendors!  I hope that you all have a shimmering bright day, and a wonderful weekend!

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!


Daughter of the sea

All life comes from the Sea.

  • Spyralle — Waverider Green Flash tattoo, fins, drape and crown
  • Luminesse — Sea Turtle Green Agate necklace & earrings
  • Exposeur Props and Poses — February Gift 15-6M pose (Marketplace Link)

When Kerryth at Spyralle came out with Waverider in mesh fins and Omega appliers (or standard SL layers) I thought WOW!  All it needs is a tail to be a perfect mermaid.  I’ve been on the hunt for a tail to a) complement it, and b) work with a mesh body ever since.

.:!EVolved creatures!:. came to the rescue, with a Bento enabled tail.   This tail waves so very smoothly, it is a joy to swim!

EVolved creatures has really put together a remarkable tail even without Bento.  MErmaid tail #1 features an amazing HUD that allows you to adjust glow, transparency, and alpha of the fins, belt, and scales.  There’s a skin blender at the waist, and an amazing selection of scale patterns.  I’ve shown a lightning-y one above — it’s my favourite as I think it complements Kerryth’s Waverider patterns (lightning is awfully fractal in nature, you know).  I thought I’d show you a few other options as well, though.

You can’t see the full crown so well with Calico‘s Talia hair, but it features a band across the forehead with fins from the side, and the same fractal motif as the body tattoo.  Luminesse‘s green agate Sea Turtle jewelry completes the ensemble.

I’ll admit, I took WAY too many pics of this, but I have so totally fallen in love with this outfit, both with and without the tail.  There are a host of pictures on flickr, and I’ll post more over the next few days.

Please go try out EVolved creatures‘s tail, there’s a 1L demo.  It doesn’t feature the HUD, but you can see how well it fits and how well it moves.  One quick note — the Bento tail can misbehave a bit on mermaid dances and animations (although it does fine on poses).  This is a Bento issue, and Tithis at EVolved is aware of it and working on the problem.  There will be a free update when it’s solved!

From this wahine hiʻu iʻa to all of you, aloha kakou!  Mahalo! A hui hou!

 


Ice storm

I know, Christmas passes and many of us take down the lights, we put away decorations, we start thinking of spring…. but spring is a long way away, and Winter still has a lot of beauty to share.  Glitter has a lot of beauty to share, too — Queen of Ice was one of their Advent gifties, and it’s too beautiful to keep to myself.  🙂

Queen of Ice features Omega and Belleza appliers with beautiful flexi add-on bits for the gown and veils.  It features a high neckline which let me get away with the beautiful Heart of the Sea from Zuri, a beautiful gift from a more beautiful friend.  Heart features a HUD with a choice of gemstones!

There is a lot of sparkle in the Winter… icicles and snowflakes.. and while we may get tired of the cold, remember that the heat will come all too soon.  The magic is all around us!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


A ranger for a silvan moon

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!


A little Pepper for spice

I’ve been wanting to share this lovely dress from !Soul with you for a while, and a new makeup applier from [GA.EG] has given me the perfect opportunity!

pepper_c003

  • !Soul — Pepper minidress
  • .woundRibbon choker (vibrant)
  • [GA.EG] — Nefertiti eye shadow
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather
  • ProPose —  Group Gift September F1

pepper_c002

Pepper is all mesh, with Slink and Maitreya fitmesh, and has a hud with a staggering number of colour choices:  Main colours and piping are independently selectable from a palette of  60 colours!  Oh, wait- and there are two different palettes of 60 choices to choose from!

The other lovely item I want to share is this amazing eyeshadow.  I’ll confess to having always loved the Egyptian kohl look, and [GA.EG] has really made it hum!  Now, a word of note: the [GA.EG] makeups are an add-on to the [GA.EG] head Smart HUDs, so this isn’t an Omega applier for everyone.  But WOW, it’s a beauty, with a host of accent colours plus a variety of other customising possibilities.  Nefertiti installs into the [GA.EG] Smart HUD, so there’s no extra HUD to use, your whole makeup kit is there at your fingertips!
pepper_c006

A few more variations — with a green-and-silver dress and some different colours on the eyeshadow!

There’s an additional version with lovely cross-strapping across the back.  I may well have to run back and pick it up.  !Soul has previously released a number of cute minis as group gifts, but this one has them beat.  Now, if only we might get this with the rainbow texture, I’d be in complete heaven!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Irridescence

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_c004

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.  🙂

irridessa_c022

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!

 


Captivating

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!
