Aliana’s stars

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Gathering for a fancy ball seems like it may be a lifetime ago… but the stars still look down in glittering splendour, and the crickets and frogs and nightingales still sing their evensong… it is up for us to decide to dance.


Aeon’s pose is Loveliness #4 from K&S poses

Bee and Solas from Silvan Moon Designs have a wonderful new gown for you at We Love Role Play! The Lady Aliana is sized for Maitreya and SLink bodies, and comes in eight beautiful colours


Aeon’s pose is Feel the Magic #2 from Luanes World

Bare shoulders give an opportunity for some larger jewelry. I really love the Hawaiian-themed Mokolea jewelry set from Luminesse. I’m wearing the dark blue Maluhia set here, as it seemed to catch the colours of the gown just right.

It’s a beautiful Friday! I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. I’m going to head out with my camera and see what stories await! A hui hou! Mālama pono kākou! Take care, everyone!

A Masque for Life

A mask protects, a mask hides… and a masque tantalises….


Aeon’s pose is Winter Spirit 02 from *Eternal Dream*

Aloha kākou!

I have a wonderful little couple of things to share with you today, a beautiful mask from Kerryth at Spyralle and a beautiful new updo from Magika.

The Masque of Summer is a wonderful mask, perfect for a midsummer’s… masque — for the ball, beautiful gowns swaying under the stars as the orchestra plays. Kerryth’s Masque of Summer is unrigged mesh: it can be resized and positioned for your face, and comes in six different lovely patterns. Each one has a HUD for choosing gem and metal colour to tailor it to your look. You can find it at We Love Role Play this month for another few days!


Aeon’s pose is Summer Breeze 5 (rev) from Stardust

I also get to share this quick pick-up — the Midnight updo from Magika. Magika is coming out with some new hairstyles with some very life-like texturing. I really love this one. I don’t have really close-up shots of it to share: Firestorm on a linux system has a known but that causes some triangular rendering errors in some meshes with alphas. I’ve got it on great authority (my assistant today who held the lights for me) that the triangles that I could see were completely invisible to her on her windows machine. It looks really wonderful, and I’m really excited for new styles from Magika soon!


Aeon’s pose is The Mirror Pose from Shi.S Poses

One last note, my wonderful friends. My friend, the beautiful and talented Kerryth, owner and creative force of Spyralle announced to her group that she is facing some rather serious health issues. Please keep her in your thoughts, your prayers if you have them. She has not shared prognosis, but keep her and her loved ones in your thoughts.

Mahalo nui kākou! A hui hou!

Spirit of the Deep

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Happy Aloha Monday!  The ocean beckons, can you hear her calling?

She looks with longing to home… feeling it always within her… and always on the horizon

You’re probably quite aware of a little affinity I have for exotic skins.. and for the ocean.  Take me to the sea, to the waves, wrap me in the embrace of the water.  Alia at  Fallen Gods has been playing the siren, feeding the call with a series of oceanic skins.  Today I just wanted to share Deep Spirit, a beautiful deep blue skin currently available at The Liaison Collaborative.  It’s available in two different beautiful versions, with the gentle texture of scales.

I’ve complemented the Deep Spirit skin with a beautiful little fitmesh gown from Caverna Obscura, the lovely Siren. It’s just gently iridescent, and the included pearl jewelry is just right for this naiad.

As the sparkling waters envelop you, feel the life surround you, drawing you back to the beginning

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderful sim that I visited for the shots. Las Islas is a wonderful island paradise, a beautiful setting for tropical photography, and a showcase of some really amazing tropical scenery, available at the store.   You’ve seen quite a few of my shots taken there, and will see more in the future!

Quick, before this edition of  The Liaison Collaborative comes to an end, stop by and take a look at Deep Spirit and all of the other goodies!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

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!

a fae’s amusement

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Wow!  Summer classes have been keeping me busy, how much time have I let slip by without sharing?  I have a beautiful dress that I want to show you that I picked up at The Muses at We Love Role Play back in May, but it’s regularly stocked in the store now.  Daphne is a lovely wonderful little dress, just right for a dancing little fae.

Daphne comes in fitmesh for only three bodies.  I’m not sure how it will fit on Physique or the other two Belleza bodies, please try a demo!

There are 16 different textures available: ten in a lovely paisley pattern, and six in the beautiful leafy motif I’m showing you here.  You can see which is my favourite!  Say, that’s a bit cheeky….

Both palettes feature the gold lacey midriff section.  That part has transparency, so you must make sure that the demo works without using body alpha zones!

There’s always something lovely at We Love Role Play, and the anchor stores (such as The Muses) feature some really wonderful items.  Make sure you take a good look around!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

soak up da sun!

Aeon Fashion, LotD

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!

  • DS’ELLES — The Lina Mini Series – Two (m) pose fantasy 4 pose

Cara Tropics is currently half-price for the month of April to all Baby Monkey group members  Stop by today and pick yours up!  Happy Aloha Friday!

Have a shiny Aloha Friday!

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!

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!

 

Get me to the beach!

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I am so ready for the Sun.  It will burn me to a crisp if I’m not careful, but I need the Sun and the warmth, I need the waves at my ankles, I need the smell of flowers in the air.

And Nickki Romano at Island Style Designs knows it, and is ready for us.  Nickki’s been gone a while but has brought ISD back in fine fashion with new fitmesh clothing in her distinctly beautiful island patterns! I get to show you the lovely Lokilani today, available in a twenty different textures!  

Nickki has thankfully included fitmesh for all of the major bodies — all three Belleza bodies, both SLink, and Maitreya, as well as TMP, plus about three rigged mesh sizes.

I’ve also been shopping for hair lately — who doesn’t love a new style?  It’s rough for those of us with curly hair, though — I still haven’t found good mesh-only curly hair.  But I did find some lovely new styles from *ARGRACE* that suit me just fine!  I love Karin, it has these optional whisps that you can either wear forward over your shoulders or back behind your back.  They’re a lovely little touch!

Stop on by Island Style Designs and see what new things Nickki has been creating for us.  There’s more coming that I am very excited to show you, so stay tuned.

Happy aloha Friday, everyone!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A Grand Spyralle

Aeon Places, Sponsored

Kerryth at Spyralle and Tailahr of Tai’Dyed have joined forces to create a new shopping experience for you!  The new Spyralle/Tai’Dyed main store at Mauna Waipio is now open, and it is truly a beautiful sight!

Kerryth  and Tailahr have created a wonderful little mini-hunt to celebrate the Grand Opening.  They have hidden six brightly-coloured polyhedrons (rhombicubotahedrons, for the mathematically/geometrically minded) about the store — each one is animated, and moves about in some way, peeking out and then hiding again.  Six lovely little treasures are hidden inside!

The store is based on the Nu Orne structures from Cerridwen’s Cauldron, and give a lovely sense of magic and enchantment, the perfect setting for Spyralle and Tai’Dyed’s wares.

The new store occupies the southeast portion of the sim: Kerryth and Tailahr ask that you not intrude into the private residential parts of the sim to the North and West.

I think you’re going to love the new digs.  There are a lovely host of beautiful vistas.  The team has been working very hard to bring the new location to you, and have been celebrating with parties.  I hope you enjoy the new shopping experience as much as I have!   Please stop by the new store and take a look today!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou!
