The White Armory

Scarlet and Gold

There are still a few days left for this lovely group gift from The White Armory!  Snowbourn Fields Holly is all mesh with armbands, necklace and earrings.  There’s also a crown as well (not shown).  Flexi add-ons give a wispy overskirt to the gown!

  • Chez GiGi – Monaco Gold Evening Sandals

Snobourn comes in the five standard sizes plus an SL fitmesh layer.  The fitmesh layers are always kind of iffy with the Slink Physique body, but this one works quite well, better than my normal XS size.  Just a little judicious use of the Physique alpha zones was necessary.

Just a little close-up on the necklace.  The burnished gold texture is really quite lovely!

Now, The White Armory‘s gifts run on a Sunday-to-Satuday weekly cycle.  That should tell you two important things:

  1. You’ve just got a couple days left to grab your copy of Snowbourn
  2. It’s TOTALLY worth it to become a group member, particularly since it’s FREE!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

 

Lost in the mist

This week’s group gift from The White Armoury is the lovely Mists of Arador.  It’s a lovely all-mesh gown in separate top  and skirt pieces, with optional puffy sleeves, as well as matching bracelets and a brooch at the waist.

In this day and age, I always test first against my Slink Physique mesh body. That is how I feel that I look my best!  I have no problem with the standard SL body, although I’m loathe to use SL hands or feet.

Arador was not specifically designed for mesh body: it features the standard five mesh sizes plus a SL fitmesh size.  I find that the XS fits the Physique body best, while the SL avatar works well with the XXS.

As with many similar meshes, I have problems with the straps on mesh tops/gowns at my shoulders: they sink beneath the skin on the Physique, and are too thin to use alpha zones.  I haven’t shown that here (the rear view shown below is with the standard SL avatar body), but long hair easily hides the glitch.

It really is a fine gown, and a lovely addition to my wardobe.  Mahalo to The White Armory for such a fine gift!

Mahalo, my friends, and aloha!

Stars swirl like snowflakes

Despite warmer temps somewhere, it is winter yet.

The White Armory knows…. and brings a weekly group gift for us, a gift of Winter Starlight.  I know I teased you last week with a White Armory gift that had just gone off, but this one is there in-store for you right now, for the next week!

Winter Starlight consists of standard layers and mesh and prim pieces.  I do love prim skirts, they swirl and flutter so prettily!  The overskirt for this is transparent with sparkling stars that flutter around me like fireflies, like snowflakes.

The wings are non-scripted but quite beautiful, and have a natural wave to them as you move, walk, or dance.  They come in both glow and non-glow options.

I would be remiss not to mention this new updo, on special now at Alli & Ali, at half-price for group members!

One more, my favourite, a little slice of contrasts….

“I am grey, I stand between the candle and the star –

we are grey, we stand between the darkness and the light.”

A Maiden’s Gown

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Ohhh, I’m a horrible tease, and I apologise in advance – but more on that at the end of this.

You may have noticed, I’m a bit of a sucker for medieval or faerie-inspired clothing.  I accumulate far more than I can ever wear, but that doesn’t stop me!   Last week’s  group gift from The White Armory is a wonderful addition to my wardrobe.  The Maiden of E’na Dorei gown is fitmesh, with add-on flexi sleeves.

The fitmesh is designed for the standard SL avatar, and not the Physique or Lara.  Nevertheless, it fit my Physique body quite well, with just a little use of the alpha zones.

I love the details, they really make any outfit of this nature!  Now, why am I a tease?  Because I just found out that The White Armory changes their group gifts frequently, so this lovely item is no longer offered.  What’s the moral, then?  Make them one of your regular stops!  You’ll hate to miss out on their next one!   So please stop by and take a look.

Mahalo and aloha, my friends!
