Help Support Medecines Sans Frontieres!

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

SL is no stranger to charities, and Spoonful of Sugar is perhaps one of my favourite so far.  Five sims of shops and activities and events, and the proceeds go to Medecines Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders, helping the sick and injured in some of the most needy parts of the world.

Spyralle‘s contribution is the lovely Kirana mesh gown.  It’s sized in the standard five standard sizes, but works well with my Slink Physique.

Luminesse‘s Sea Turtle happened to complement Kirana perfectly, in each colour!

Kirana comes in six lovely colour/textures.  I’ve got three of them here to show you, for the others you’ll have to stop by Spyralle’s booth at Spoonful.   There’s a demo you can try, always a good idea!

There’s more, though — there’s a one of a kind special Royal Batik Summer Gypsy in Torch Light.  This colour pattern will only be available for ONE copy of this outfit, and it’s up for bidding here.  Sadly, I couldn’t convince Kerryth to get me a copy to demonstrate for you  😀  but you must stop by and put in a bid!

Good luck!  Aloha!  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!

No place like home

Enchantment is honouring L. Frank Baum’s greatest creation, the Wonderful World of Oz — and Silvan Moon Designs has an amazing exclusive just for this event, Evanora of the East.

Evanora_c007

Evanora_c030

The Evanora gown is all mesh with Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza fitmesh sizes, as well as the standard mesh sizes.  Gloves and wispy flexi bits are included, as is a mesh collar.

Evanora_c004

I’ll admit, I took too many pictures, but you can tell the outfits that I am in love with — they are just too much fun to take pictures of.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking them!

I’ll leave on on this thought, one of my favourite quotes from L Frank Baum, with Dorothy and Polychrome, the Rainbow’s Daughter:

“You have some queer friends, Dorothy,” she said.
“The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends”.

Aloha, my friends!

Iridescence

Aeon LotD

I was dancing at Frank’s over the weekend with Blue, and thought that I hadn’t shared this lovely little gown with you before.  Despite the difficulties of dancing in an ankle-length all-mesh gown, this one is worth it to me!  Opal Pearl is an older group gift from Paisley Daisy.

  • Paisley Daisy — Opal Pearl gown (older group gift)
  • Adoness — Soyala earrings (sold as part of Soyala feathered mohawk)
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

The low back is scooped down to the bottom — no panties with this one!  But then, no unsightly panty line, either.
OpalPearl_c005aOne of my favourite things about this gown is the material — under different lighting conditions, it shifts from a very bright colour to a very dark one, giving a lovely iridescent effect.

Paisley Daisy has some very lovely outfits, and their group gifts are worth the small group join fee.  They’ve lately been doing more and more fitmesh, so they’re definitely worth checking out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Rainforests and sea turtles

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The sun goes down and as the cool air sweeps down from Maunakea, we think, perhaps, that something a bit warmer than my pareo might be in order.  For a comfortable yet classy appearance, try the lovely Niike from Spyralle.  Niike Rainforest is Spyralle current group gift, and comes in the standard five mesh sizes plus three fitmesh sizes.Niika_c004

  • Spyralle – Niike Rainforest gown (Group Gift, 2016/07)
  • Spyralle – Honu Bone and  pāua shell necklace and earrings
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

The three included fitmesh sizes are not Slink/Belleza/Matreya fitmeshes, but I was able to get one to fit my Slink Physique pretty well.  As you might guess, any difficulty lies around the collar and chest.  Fortunately, not only are demos available, but Rainforest is yours free!

Niika_c007

Spyralle has done a lovely necklace and earring set for the Genre:Polynesia event.   Honu (“sea turtle”, in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi)  comes in several colour schemes, here shown in bone and pāua shell.  Honu is strung on a very simple thin cord, I think I’d prefer if it were on a slightly longer leather thong, perhaps, but it is a lovely piece!  I also picked up the koa and mother-of-pearl, which I’ll show off in a later post.

Niika_c005

Niike is a beautiful gown, and Rainforest is free to group members right now!  Stop by Spyralle and pick it up, and take a look at the other lovely colours that Kerryth has put up for sale.  Then go take a look at Genre:Polynesia for the lovely Honu necklace and earring sets.  They’re too pretty to pass up!

Aloha, a hui hou!

Charlie’s Angel

Well, I’m no angel… but I might be feeling a little devilish in Charlie, a lovely corset in the Carrie’s Lingerie VIP collection, complete with boy shorts, stockings and gloves.

Dear Abby

Dear Abby – 

Today I decided to become dangerous.  I decided to be bold.  I decided to wear my pink like I meant it, framed in black lace.

And dear Abby, I am not asking you for advice.  I’ve got my own confidence, and you can stick it if you don’t like it.

Sincerely – 

–Aeon

Happy Birthday, USA!

Aeon LotD

Happy Independence Day to all my friends in the United States!  Just in time to celebrate the Fourth of July, Paisley Daisy offers two lovely gifts for the season!  They’re both available in the five standard mesh sizes, plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fitmesh, and they’re FREE!

  • Paisley Daisy — Love USA Eagle dress (Group gift, 2016/07)

Now, I’m not the most nationalistic of people by any means — I firmly believe that we are all in this together.  But I am still proud of my country, and am happy to take the opportunity (any opportunity) to have a party.  I hope everyone, in the US or elsewhere, has a lovely happy day today!

Aloha, mahalo, a hui hou!

A Glass of Burgundy

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!

Dreams of Shelly

Another sweet little bit of lace from Carrie’s Lingerie: the lovely Shelly.  Shelly comes in both Omega appliers and standard SL layers, with independently selectable gloves, teddy, stockings and suspenders.  ShellyTeal_019_c

ShellyTeal_007_c

It’s interesting shooting lingerie – a different style of photo than I typically have been taking.  It’s fun — and expanding — to do something different for a change!

Note – Shelly was offered by Carrie for this year’s Fashion For Life event which has now concluded, but may return to the main store at some point in the future! Lesson?  Don’t miss out on opportunities from Carrie’s!

Mahalo, and aloha!
