Happy Yule!

Merry Solstice and Happy Yule, my wonderful friends!  It’s a season of joy and light, and magic surrounding all of us.  Kerryth at Spyralle has the most wonderful gown for the season, Coelis North Pole at the Mieville North Pole Event!

Another happy little treasure: I fell in love with EarthStones’ Poinsetta ‘n Bells necklace and earrings.  They’re just right for the season, and fit the Coelis gown perfectly.  Can you hear the soft tinkling of the bells as you dance?

There truly is magic all around, at Mieville North Pole Event and everywhere else.  Peace and joy to you all, my wonderful friends!  I wish you the very happiest of the season.  Hau`oli Lā Hānau!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!


Evergreen

I really enjoy wandering about a snowy outdoor market, and the Okinawa Winter Festival 2018 is off to a beautiful start!  I got to wander around the market, and fell in love with the beautiful Rachel coat from EXiA!

Rachel comes in five lovely colours and each has red and white options for the bow,  holly (or not), and solid or plaid at the coat bottom.  Rachel feels so very fun and warm and festive — it’s the perfect thing to wander about in the falling snow!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!


A flyaway dress for a breezy day

Happy Aloha Friday, my wonderful friends!  I thought I’d share this beautiful summery dress that I picked up a bit earlier in the season with you.  Summer for Your Heart is a beautiful fluttery dress from DE.Boutique that just calls to me on such a beautiful day!

  • DE.Boutique — Summer to Your Heart dress (Freya/Venus/Isis/Maitreya/Physique/EBody Curvy/TMP fitmesh)
  • EarthStonesPlayful Dolphins necklace and earrings
  • Persefona — Samia Wreath (navy)
  • Rebel HopeLaguna mesh sandals
  • an lar [poses]The Julep Series – Two pose

Summer for Your Heart has a beautiful eight-texture HUD that has some wonderful patterns on it: I have a hard time deciding on my favourite! 

I totally love the Laguna sandals from Rebel Hope.  I just wish, I really really wish that creators who made barefoot sandals would rig them for the SLink Kitten feet!  PLEASE!

I’m going to have to run back and see what else DE.Boutique has to offer.  In the meantime, have a wonderful happy Friday!

A hui hou kākou!


Sweaters and snowfalls

You may have noticed, I love a sweater and tights and boots!  This beautiful little Christmas gifty from ! Maci ! is perfect with my Baby Monkey tights!

Okay, snow is no good for plumeria, so I found a lovely evergreen wreath with baby’s breath from Persefona.  It’s lovely and happy, and is just the right touch for my winter look!

! Maci ! has a host of happy gifties, some for the holidays and some just their normal lovely attire, stop by and take a look!  Is anyone else excited for the season?  I’m like a little girl when I see all the lights!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


a hidden oasis

As the heat of the afternoon fell away and softer breezes blew across the sands, she slipped from the safety of the seraglio and out to visit her hidden oasis… a place of beauty and respite.

I’m a sucker for beautiful silks, diaphanous and flowing.  Caverna Obscura surely has mastered this art, combining fitmesh for those of us who love our mesh bodies with flexiprims for skirts.  Starlight certainly is an excellent example.  I stumbled across it while looking for some white silks for a recent event at Eden, and immediately fell in love.

Starlight features fitmesh sleeves, top, and skirt — each in a opaque and diaphanous fitmesh and rigged mesh version, with flexiprim silks to augment.  But wait, Aeon, you say!  long mesh skirting is horrid for dancing, you always say so!   Ahhhh, but Caverna was thinking ahead: there’s a full flexi skirt in here as well, so that nothing impedes your movement!

All of the floral enhancements (with exception of Persefona’s wreath crown) are separate mesh pieces, and can be worn or left off at your convenience.  This is truly an amazing piece, and a beautiful addition to Caverna’s line.

Join me at the oasis… feel the cool waters at your feet, the lovely breeze at your cheek, whispering through your hair….

Mahalo!   A hui hou!


Fae of the Fall

After showing the lovely Queen Frani to you previously, I thought I’d share my own outfit for the Sisters of Eden Autumn Queen Dance.  I’ve blogged the base outfit before, but added a bit to create an angel of autumn?  A fall fae?  Can fae have feathered wings?

So, sometimes you get lucky.  Bare Rose created some beautiful bento wings in their “B-Wings“, sold in black and white colours.  Fortunately, they are mod, so I could change the overlay colour.  Be VERY careful, the wings are NO COPY: do NOT try changing the textureONLY change the overcolour.  I played around a little bit until I found what looked just like gold to me.  The texture-enabled wings turned that gold into something shining with a hint of metallic glint.  Just… wow.

Persefona‘s Floating Leaves come in a number of different distributions.  They’re mesh, not particles, so they don’t contribute to the kinds of rendering issues and lag (and annoyance) that particle generators can.  They do attach to the body, so they move somewhat rigidly about you, but depending on your use they look absolutely wonderful.  They worked well for my dances at the party!

It’s always lovely when a creator puts together an amazing outfit… but I really love that feeling of putting together pieces from here and there to create your own individualised look.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Bend with the breeze

The latest from Silvan Moon Designs is the lovely Willow Spirit, an all-mesh dress evoking the art nouveau style.  Willow Spirit comes in five colours, so a bunch of pictures for you today!

As with other Silvan Moon products, Willow Spirit comes in the standard five mesh sizes plust Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fitmesh!

It’s not news, perhaps, that a long mesh gown has something of a limited use to someone who really likes to dance.  But Willow Spirit just keeps growing on me, and I find myself wearing it just for fun.  This is one beautiful outfit that is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.  Keep up the good work, Silvan Moon!

Mahalo! A hui hou!


A downpour….

A week or two ago, I had the pleasure to share Calista Rain, the first release from Silvan Moon Designs, the new collaboration between Blue Moon Enterprises and The White Armory.

Just as that blog post went to press, Silvan Moon released additional colours that I didn’t have the chance to photograph.  I finally got the chance to take a few more pics, so I just thought I’d share them with you here.

So… four more colours of Silvan Rain — a veritable downpour.  I won’t waste a lot of time with words, they speak for themselves. 🙂

Four more wonderful shades, for a total of five.  I’m just absolutely stunned by the shading, the textures… these gowns are magnificent, and are available in standard mesh sizes plus fitmesh for standard SL avatars, Slink, Maitreya, and Belleze mesh avatars.  Keep your eyes out for more new treasures from Silvan Moon Designs!

Aloha!  A hui hou!
