Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Kerryth at Spyralle has turned ten, and the presents are for you!  For a VERY limited time, Kerryth offers Coelis, a beautiful gown in purple to her group!  If that wasn’t all, nearly every purple item at Spyralle is on sale for 50% off!

EarthStones‘ Playful Dolphins works really well with this gown, and the choice of stones is perfect: the mother-of-pearl matches the buttons on the gown wonderfully.

Coelisis available in fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya, TMP, Belleza Venus, and a standard fitmesh.  I really love the lace panel and buttons at the front!

Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!  Congratulations on ten years of orbits about the SecondLife Sun, and thanks for sharing your art with us!  For the rest of us, hurry on out to Spyralle!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Have a shiny Aloha Friday!

Aeon LotD

I shared a beautiful new reflective swimsuit and pareo from Island Style Designs a few weeks ago.  Nickki’s been hard at work, and created new textures for the suit, packaging it with a long sarong and matching shoes, and it’s perfect for your Aloha Friday!

I’m not generally a fan of platforms, but these are perfect with this outfit, having the same metallic texture, so I thought I’d show them off.  They come in sizes for SLink, Maitreya, and TMP feet.

The suit and sarong are sized for Maitreya, SLink Physique, and all three Belleza bodies.  Yay!

This uses the same basic mesh as the Metal Resort Wear from the previous post.  It’s a fairly modest cut at the legs (modest for SL!).  The texture really is quite lovely with advanced lighting and reflections turned on, and has to be seen in action to really be appreciated.  So, take a look at the video!

I took a bit of a selfie here for a friend, but it shows off the beautiful purple agate and silver Sea Turtle jewelry from Luminesse.

Nickki is working hard on new styles and new textures, please visit the all-new Island Style Designs and take a look today!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Witchwood

So much happiness to share!  Petite Mort and Oubliette have moved to a new sim, Witchwood!  It’s a good opportunity to show you some lovely acquisitions I picked up from Petite Mort, the Royal Starlite sweater and the Burnout Velvet Skirt.

Both the Royal Starlight outfit and the Burnout Velvet skirt are slightly older releases.  They feature fitmesh for both SLink bodies and the Maitreya Lara.  Royal Starlight comes with a lovely little matching skirt, but I really liked how the top goes with the longer Burnout Velvet skirt.

Melora has created quite the beautiful little shopping experience at Witchwood.  There are many little scenes (like this one) that are perfect for taking pictures.  It’s really nicely done, stop by and have a look around.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Throwback Thursday

Aeon 2 Comments LotD, Moments

Okay, let’s start by saying I am NOT promoting anything that I’m wearing today.  🙂

I was going on a bit of an inventory cleaning binge, and threw this out as I was getting rid of lots of old and unworn stuff… but then went back and retrieved it.  It’s sort of perfect timing — I’ve been in SL for four years now… and it’s rather amazing.  I know, many of you might have been here much longer than that, and that’s all right — I know you’ve seen more.

From the progress we’ve made, four years is a apparently a long time in SL.  It feels like forever, and no time at all.

  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Grape Leather)
  • :: envi :: — Sabra Ear Pierceing – Venus
  • Kalina’s Design — Lesbian Symbol Diamond Belly Piercing (marketplace link)
  • Luanes World — Try to Forget You #2 pose

So I was cleaning out my inventory, and stumbled on this purple butterflies outfit.  It’s the oldest outfit I have, not quite four years old, but probably only a couple months shy of it.  Standard layers, with mesh bits for the sleeve cuffs.  Even the shirt collar is just textured on the standard layer.  For the record, I have those heels in three different colours and they’re still my favourite style of heels in SL!

We probably all have these hiding in our inventories, in our wardrobes… and we put it on and go “EEEEK DON’T LOOK, I’M HIDEOUS!”

I know I did.  I’m mostly embarrassed with how… grumpy… I feel that I looked!

But on second thought, I stopped…  you know, this was me.  I was so proud and happy of this.  I splurged on SLink feet shortly after getting into SL, and some nice mid shoes, and if I recall correctly, the hair.  WOW, does that hair not play well with background alphas!  But I still love this outfit… I would die for it in fitmesh!

It’s amazing, right now, to think “I was so proud of how I looked”… and to think how far we’ve come, even in just four years.

There are a lot of times we look at SL and say “dammit, SL, why can’t you fix this problem, or that problem”… but it’s important, too, to look and say “Thanks, SL, for adding this… for expanding this… for creating this”.

Thanks, SL, for giving me four happy years.  Thanks, my friends, for walking with me through this little venture.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Waiting for Spring

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Eden had its annual Spring Queen dance this past weekend, and it was the perfect opportunity for a new gown!  Paris METRO Couture had just the thing with Wild Bunch, a beautiful new creation in mesh and flexi.  This is the first hybrid gown that I’ve seen from Paris METRO, and I’m so glad for it.

This was the perfect gown for my Mokolea necklace and earrings set from Luminesse.  It now features the OptPlus script, so jewelry pieces can be menu adjusted for glow and/or full bright!

  • <K&S> — Candy #1 pose

PM has long understood that full-mesh gowns dance so very poorly, and have always had wonderful flexi gowns with applier tops.  But as lovely as their texturing is, appliers just can’t compete with fitmesh for realism in many circumstances.  Paris METRO Couture has combined the two here, crating a mesh gown with a flexi overskirt.  Be warned: as with any good flexi gown, complexity is high, but not critically so (in my opinion): the fitmesh component comes in at about 1500, and the overskirt at nearly 200.000.  With jewelry and hair, you’re probably clearing 300.000 total.  For a beautiful ball gown, that’s pretty low!

This flower mesh gown comes in three lovely patterns, please stop on by and take a look.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
