Apple blossoms

The flowers of spring bring hope after the cold dark of winter.

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’alua! Aloha my friends, Happy Tuesday!

Kerryth at Spyralle has a wonderful treat at the Ostara’s Altar event. The Apple Blossom and Cherry Blossom headpieces are the perfect accessory for a spring ball, or a flowery fae, or just because you want to surround yourself in flowers!

The headpieces are unrigged mesh with Copy/Mod permissions. They are resizeable and can be tinted through the object edit context menu. They’re initially set at full bright, but this too can be turned off on the edit context menu!

The Fairy Godmother gown is an older release from Silvan Moon Designs that I blogged three years ago (WOW), but it still looks amazing, and the perfect complement to the Apple Blossom crown. I chose the glass colour to accentuate the bright colour of the apple blossoms!

Spyralle’s lovely crowns will be at Ostara’s Altar until April 19, then, like the first blossoms, these will be only a memory. Stop by and take a look around the rest of the event, there are so many lovely treasures to find!

Stay healthy my friends! Love and peace to you all. Mahalo! A hui hou kākou!

Golden glow

Even after the darkest winter, the greyest skies give way to the golden glows of dawn, spring returns, the warmth of sun and life.

Aeon’s pose is Try to forget you from Luanes World

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’akolu! Aloha my friends, Happy Wednesday!

Kerryth at Spyralle put a lovely new texture of her beautiful Sybil gown, the beautiful Plains. It has the wonderful warmth of a golden dawn, and I just love it.

I paired it with the beautiful Butterly necklace and earring set from EarthStones. They have a lovely little choice of metals and stone textures, and just felt right with Sybil.

The hope of spring

The greatest gift of spring is hope. Hope of warmth, hope of light, hope of life, hope of growth. I search for hope where I can find it, in my friends and loved ones, in my work, in my surroundings… and hold on to that hope to sustain me against the dark. Hope is here to be found…. hope remains.

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’akahi! Aloha my friends, Happy Monday!

It seems disingenuous, perhaps, to talk of ‘Happy Monday’ at a time when the weight of the pandemic may be falling heavy on many of us… but I hold on to the joys of happiness to sustain me, and hope that you find a little joy here.

I picked up the lovely Niika gown from Spyralle for the $30L special on Saturday! It’s a beautiful little gown in the standard five sizes of rigged mesh plus three sizes of ‘fitmesh’. This is an older piece: this is not mesh body fitmesh, but rather fitmesh variations designed around the standard body. That said, you can probably find a variant that looks good with some appropriate use of alpha zones. The Fitmesh B size worked pretty well on my Maitreya Lara body, my biggest difficulty is the same I always have with the standard five size mesh: my chest is on the smaller size (me and my A-cups) and that generally leaves to much space in the bust. I really love the Fern texture, and I would love if Kerryth might use this texture for a fitmesh version!

I didn’t intend on creating a Spyralle-heavy shoot, but the Spring Leaf necklace and earrings just worked perfectly here.  Kerryth has a lot of beautiful green jewelry!

And yes, that bowl is also from Spyralle!

Magic swirls like a wraith in the mist

when the dark is all around, let the music fill you, let the dance find your light

Aloha kākou! Hello, my friends! Here is a little motion for your weekend. I was playing around with the Wraith from Spyralle. It’s a mesh add-on with an animated texture, a swirling foggy bit of magic to wrap around yourself.

The beautiful Lumina Eclipse skin was a gacha from Fallen Gods. It’s one of my favourite exotic skins. You can see a different view of it here.

Here’s a weekend wish to fill all your days with music. Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

A stroll in the fog

A forgotten photograph, from years long ago… a moment stolen out of time. Who was she? Was she on her way somewhere? A Sunday outing? Enjoying an warm day in a cold long winter? What stories are locked in her glance?

Hau’oli Pō‘alima Aloha kākou! Happy Aloha Friday, everyone!  I have a beautiful period gown from Silvan Moon Designs for this month’s edition of We Love Role Play. The Lady Berdy gown is available in seven lovely period-appropriate colours, and comes in fitmesh for the Lara and Physique bodies.

The Fifth Avenue 1919 hat felt like the perfect complement for the gown, in colour and style. It’s available in four different colours, and can be tinted to match your outfit just right.

I wish you all a very happy weekend, full of peace and relaxation if you can. Aloha kākou!  A hui hou!

Deep in the forest

Aloha Po’akolu!  Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I have another lovely gown from Spyralle to share with you here today, it’s a beautiful piece featured at Mystic Market this month.  Sibyl Forest comes in both ‘plain’ and ‘glyph’ versions, and is just a perfect colour for me.

I had fun shooting, so I’ll just the pics speak for me.

Nature’s Splendor by EarthStones is a beautiful necklace-and-earring set that features a beautiful little texture-change HUD.  There are three sets of leaves here, so you can colour them individually or all together if you prefer.

The glyphs version of the dress features patterns that remind me of the ki‘i pohaku, the petroglyphs on the Hawaiian islands.  I definitely love the look, although if you prefer it without them, “un-glyphed” versions are also included!

This edition of Mystic Market ends soon, so you might want to stop by sooner than later!  Kerryth has a good record of bringing her event clothing into the main store, so if you miss it, you’ll have another chance.  And stop by The Lost Unicorn for a magical little visit.  There have been some recent updates, and the sim just keeps getting better and better.

Aloha kākou!  A hui hou!

With a spirit of eagles

Aloha kākou!  Hello, everyone, I wanted to share this lovely headdress with you from Spyralle.  Eagle of the Forest is a new release that is available now.  It’s resizable mesh in two pieces: the ‘wings’ on either side of the head, and the face frontpiece.  They’re each individually resizable and the frontpiece and main headdress are positioned separately to fit you just right.  If that’s not enough, the headdress comes with a six-texture HUD to retexture the circle features on either side.

I matched Eagle of the Forest with Owl Moon, an older gown from Spyralle.  I know, I know, everyone is doing fitmesh these days, but Owl Moon is lovely, and fits me pretty nicely, and it looks soooo good with Eagle of the Forest.

I always like mixing and matching, but I fear I may have added one more piece from Spyralle — the Emerald Waves necklace.  It’s a larger piece, and I don’t have a lot of things that I can wear it with, but the large décolletage of Owl Moon gives it just the right framing.

I really liked the look of the full headdress, but you might try it without the frontpiece for a more… regal and less ‘shaman’ kind of look.  You can find it featured at the Spyralle Shop at Mauna Waipio.  And if you’re in the mood to shop, to take a look at Spyralle’s booth at the Mystical Market, where you’ll find a number of lovely treasures.

A hui hou kākou!  Mālama pono!

A winterfae

It’s past Christmas, and perhaps many lights have faded… the winter is long and dark yet before the spring comes….
but there is light in the deep wood, if you are quiet… and patient.

There is magic that sparkles in the snow.

As I roam about SL, and SHOP!  I sometimes find wonderful little things that are JUST PERFECT and I know exactly what to do with them.

And sometimes I find things that are just perfect… but I know they need something… to make them sing, to make them truly come alive.  I love those maybe the most — the mix-and-match, the outfit, the look that is truly one-of-a-kind, because no one else thought to put those things together

I’d been playing with the beautiful Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods for months, and I’ve had the Snowflakes outfit from Caverna Obscura for a couple of years.

It was truly the beautiful Lightbringer antlers from Spyralle that made me know I had the look I wanted.  They include a HUD to set the jewel/light colours at the tips of the antlers, as well as options with or without the headpiece and headpiece texture.  I couldn’t resist the opal, it goes so well with the skin.  Add to that a beautiful body shimmer from Stargazer, and.. presto.

Now, a quick word about Stargazer Creations: while they have a Marketplace store, it’s empty — and the listed in-world location is a sim that no longer exists.  That said, Stargazer has booths at many of the events that I frequent, and have some remarkable things there.  I’ll update this if I find a new in-world location, but you just need to keep your eyes out!  Stargazer uses Omega Evolved appliers, but includes a Maitreya applier, too.  I think it works really well, but try out their demo, and use proper lighting!  You might try contacting the owner, Aggie Mactavish, to find out more.

Clearly I couldn’t choose just one or two pics.  This is a new favourite…. and it has me almost wishing the snow stays for weeks and weeks and weeks.

Almost.  🙂

Guardians of the Wood

Happy Winter, everyone!    I love this time of year — cold and snow are SO much easier to deal with in SL than they are in RL!  But even in RL, there is so much magic in the snow and in the seasonal lights.  It’s a beautiful time!

I came across this wonderful set of Winter Guardians from Spyralle at the Winter’s Hollow event, and they are just the perfect happy touch to your parcel, your sim, your little corner of Winter.  There are four of them, and they’re resizeable to fit your space.  Each is from one to two LI depending on the size.

Across the Ecliptic

Aloha kākou!  I hope everyone is ready for a happy and relaxing weekend! I apologise, we probably should have seasonal posts here this time of year, but I had picked up this lovely dress from Spyralle and I really wanted to share it with you.

Kerryth’s Astera comes in twelve beautiful patterns, one named for each of 12 of the 13 constellations of the Zodiac (poor Ophiuchus always gets slighted by the astrologers, but we astronomers remember).  This is Virgo, beautiful in blues, greens and violets.

I’ve added some beautiful feathery earrings from Zaara.  Actually, I’m wearing both feathered earrings and ear cuffs, but they work so well together.  I’ve had these for a while, but with my big curly hair that I’m usually wearing, they kind of… vanish.  They suit Astera very well!

I hope you may find time to pause and breathe.  Sure, maybe for the season, but maybe just because you need it.  I know that do!  Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!
