A Murder of Crows

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Moments, Reviews

November is drawing to a close, but We Love Role Play yet has nearly a week left.  Silvan Moon Designs offers A Murder of Crows this month, a beautiful bustled gown that might be just as at home in Victorian England or in a frontier town in the American Wild West.

The remarkable hat is included in A Murder of Crows.  I don’t know that I’d dance in it, but it’s perfect finery for the era.

Wow what a bustle to this gown.  Baby got back?

I really love this outfit, I think it might well serve as a fantastic base for a great steampunk outfit.  I’ll have to get back to you on that one!

Run over to We Love Role Play before time runs out!  Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

A Pirate’s Treasure

Yarrrr!  Happy Pirate Day, my hearties!  Perfect for the day, Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Buccaneer Celeste at the September We Love Role Play event!

The tricorn is great, and I didn’t have to work too hard to find hair that I could match with it.  Fortunately, I’d just recently picked up Farryn from Truth Hair.   I’ve become quite the fan of Truth’s styling huds!

Celeste is perfect for a fierce Piratess… or for a frolic about the tavern.  The boots and leggings are well-textured, and I suspect I’ll be wearing these boots in a few other outfits as well!

I hope that today and every day finds you with plenty of booty, a mug of rum, and a fresh breeze!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A little collaboration

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews

Jaz and I stopped by the latest round of COLABOR88 and found the most wonderful little outfit from Baiastice to share with you before the event closes! Ashley is a beautiful blouse-and-skirt combo that comes in a beautiful host of textures and a few options, too!  There are two textures (a solid and a print) in each bag, and opaque/gauzy options for each!  Take a look at how the denim skirt shows through that top!

Ashley is technically a single peace, but has menu options to hide or show the belt and the skirt, both of which have their own texture options.  Jaz was visiting Las Islas with me for the photoshoot, and decided to show off the top with a pair of Tinker kini bottoms from Blueberry.  Now that is a sexy look!  Mahalo, Jaz, for posing for me with such patience!

There are a bunch of other lovelies around COLABOR88, you should stop by and see what else you might find — but don’t dawdle, COLABOR88 changes on the 8th of every month!

A hui hou kākou!

Happy Summer Days!

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A few little happies to share with you this beautiful Friday!  First up, Happy Summer Days is a gorgeous little dress from Miss Jones.  It’s currently featured on the Pleaseblossom path of the Midsummer Night’s Dream 9 Hunt!

OMG, I think it landed on my head!  The Aloha headpiece is a bright and cheery headpiece from Astralia that a friend found and just had to get for me.  It features a lovely HUD with a few colour choices for flowers and the bird.  

Happy Summer Days comes with an amazing HUD.  I tried to count, and I think that there are 37 solid colours you can choose from, and another 37 different patterned textures.  I might be off one in each column, so figure somewhere between 72 and 76  colour/pattern choices for you!  Your biggest problem will be choosing your favourite!

Just when you think that you’ve come to the end of the path…. the world opens up in front of you.

Have a wonderful Friday, a wonderful weekend my friends!  Stay cool out in the summer heat, or stay warm in the winter chill, and know that you are special and bright.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Blooming

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Have you been to Midsummer Enchantment yet?  Kerryth from Spyralle has a magical headpiece and collar just waiting to frame your beautiful face!

The collar has a lovely vine closure detail in the front which serves as a beautiful necklace/choker for you.  The texture HUD changes both items together, although if you wanted different colours you could wear and set them separately.

I don’t normally wear reds and pinks, they don’t tend to work well with my colouring… but this Windflower shade just worked too well with Spyralle‘s earlier Sylvia release, and I couldn’t resist dancing.

The Sun Flower / Wind Flower / Moon Flower headpieces are a lovely accent to a beautiful gown or the perfect accompaniment for your garden fae.  Stop by Midsummer Enchantment before this bloom disappears!  The faire is full of other wonderful goodies, many with a darke/gothic flavour…. and many treasures just awaiting your discovery.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Wind and water

Happy Aloha Friday my lovely friends!  Are you ready for some Sun?  You know what, I think I’ll let the pictures tell the story….

The Izzy fatpack features a choice of 16 colours plus an additional 10 patterns, each component (kini bottoms, top, and tie cord) are individually selectable.  Top and bottoms are separate pieces, so you can mix and match.

Happy Aloha Friday, all!   Mahalo!  A hui hou!

It’s all been done

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

So, maybe it has all been done.

Sooooo it’s the curse of blogging, you’ve got a product out there and someone beats you to it.  Well, fooey, and I really liked that, too!  So, what do you do?  You take your own pics and show it the way you want to, that’s what.  🙂

Alaska Metro <3 is hosting a little mini-hunt, the Wardrobe Staples hunt with ten gifts: three at the Alaska Metro <3 main store, and seven at Free Dove.

Here are two of them that I just adored, the Long Tank and the Moto Leggings.

Each of the items in the hunt features a HUD with a couple texture choices.  The Moto Leggings and Long Tank each have three lovely choices to mix and match.  I really love the mesh on these, the leggings are very nicely detailed!

Oooh oooh and also?  This is the first time I’ve featured the Hatsune hair from *ARGRACE*.  I really have fallen in love with the *ARGRACE*.  In addition to a texture with a few choices for the headband (or whatever hair-related accessories a particular hairdo comes with), most of their styles feature a styling hud.  These allow you to add wisps or, in the case of Hatsune, a lovely braid across the forehead.

 

Stop by Alaska Metro <3 and Free Dove, the hunt is free and easy enough, and the goodies are lovely.  And above all, happy Aloha Friday my friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2018 — Spyralle’s Timeless Folly

Aeon Events, Reviews, Sponsored

Some big things are afoot at Fantasy Faire 2018, including a beautiful little architectural marvel by Spyralle.  Fans of Spyralle will know that Kerryth creates not only dresses and jewelry but other knick-knacks and decorations as well.  She’s created two lovely pieces for the Fantasy Faire, the first of which I’m showing you this morning.

I really love the little accents that make this a Spyralle special.  The most obvious is the fractal-decorated glass vaulted ceiling.  If you have full lighting effects on (shadows, in particular), that ceiling makes a gorgeous shadow below.

Timeless Folly has a beautiful sense of grandeur and scale…. with lovely little accents.   As rezzed, it has a default LI of 21.  Resizing will adjust LI accordingly, but be wary – adjusting the size back and forth can play silly games with LI and mesh — I had a small cute version at 4 LI, then resized to about half-default height — and ended up at 30!   That’s okay, it’s copy, so re-rez and start again!

Take a look at the Spyralle at the Fantasy Faire, and support the cause!

My outfit, from Caverna Obscura, was originally blogged here.

Feel the warm sun on your skin… feel the moana makani, the breeze off the ocean… the sand warm under your feet, the squeak as it shifts under your steps.

Baby Monkey has just released the Cara Tropics dress, a beautiful tight minidress with fourteen texture choices.  I think I’ll be tugging at the hem a bit, it’s that short!

Island Style Designs has introduced the loveliest pair of rubber slippahs.  The “flip-flops” themselves are well-detailed and come in versions for Belleza, Maitreya, and SLink flat feet, but what makes them special is the lovely little plumeria detail.  it features a texture-change HUD with twenty-two different plumeria blossom textures!
