Truth Hair

Beachwear, summerwear

Aeon LotD

Okay, I’ll admit.  I’m not generally in a skimpy bikini on the beach — fair skin and ginger hair makes the Sun much more of an enemy than a close friend…. so when I am out on the beach, it’s SPF 10000 and cover up what I can.  I saw this little group gifty pop up at Java Fashion Designs and knew it would be perfect for a day out!

  • Java Fashion Designs — Library Girl Dress (green) (Freya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Physique/Hourglass/Ebody/Curvy/Fine/Ocasin/Tmp Fitmesh, rigged mesh sizes)
  • Spyralle – Summer Leaf bracelets and earrings
  • Luanes World — Try to Forget You pose (mirror)

 

 

Whether on the beach or just a happy summer dress, Library Girl was a pleasant find.  There’s another texture available as a gifty for a different group, so I may have to show you that one later.

Please always be safe at the beach!  And use coral-safe sunscreen if you’re at the ocean!

A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2019: A piece of a rainbow

Aeon Events, LotD, Places, Reviews

Consider this a ‘thank you’.  While I have a little stockpile of shots of the Fantasy Faire sims that I will post to flickr here over the next few days, this is probably the last set of product shots from the faire, the lovely petite from Fallen Gods that I picked up on the very last official day of the Faire.

This little one is the Garden Sprite from Fallen Gods.  Alia uses the Yabusaka petite as a base, and adds a skin with normal and PG versions, and a HUD with 6 facial/makeup variations.

Garden Sprite was a special for the Fantasy Faire, and to be honest, I’m not sure if we’ll see it in the shop or not.  But I couldn’t resist showing this, because to me, she is a little sparkle of sunshine, a dewdrop on an orchid.

Garden Sprite appears to be based off of Fallen Gods‘ Evolution series of skins, but the beautiful blue base is not available as a normal skin for normal avis at this point.  Mind you… I would love to be able to wear this on my normal avi!  Garden Sprite is complete, with hair and a little mesh bikini.  I swapped out for my own hair — this is Athena from Truth Hair, the unrigged/resizable version.  It works just perfectly.

Sprits’s wings are, unfortunately, unscripted.  They’re wonderfully textured with just the right hint of translucence.  I need to see if I can drop an animation script in there for a little flutter!

This little one is a piece of the rainbow, light diffracted and shining, a little bundle of colour… mischievous, laughing, hiding… sparkling.

As of yesterday, the tally for Fantasy Faire 2019 is just over L$17 million.  That’s USD$68,000.  Just… WOW.  People have come together from around the world to shop, to share, to support.  Maybe you weren’t thinking about the fight against cancer, and maybe you were.  Maybe you thought “well, I shouldn’t, but it’s for a good cause”… and you did.

On behalf of all of us, mahalo nui.  Thank you for everything!

 

Fantasy Faire 2019: Malika

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

There is one more week of the magic of Fantasy Faire 2019 remaining, and still so many fun things to go and see.  This lovely dark gown is from God Mod, and has a perfect gothicky dark flair!

The shoulder pieces are unrigged mesh, and can be adjusted to your fit.  Earthstones‘s Phoenix Rising carried the spikey motif, and the reds seemed to echo the rust highlights in Malika.

There are so many wonderful things at Fantasy Faire, and every one helps contribute to the fight against cancer.  With 16 sims, you can always get in somewhere and have a look around.  Fantasy Faire 2019 is only here until May 5, and there is SO MUCH to see.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Sundown

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A goddess reborn in a city of gold, a living light upon an azure sea.

You may remember this skin from an earlier post, but when I saw the golden Marigold gown that Moonlitecat Creations was featuring for Fantasy Faire 2019, I knew that it would be perfect matched with Fallen Gods‘ water-gold Chronos skin.  And it works out well, Fallen Gods is featuring Chronos at the Faire as well!

I really love the detailing and texturing in this gown.  I can see the shimmer in the folds, even in the still image!  The oblique lighting angles cast some wonderful shadows that enhance the lay of the gown.

The evening light fades, the belt of Venus girdles the city, and the darkness closes in… but the light that is within shines bright.

  • <unknown pose>  (I’m sorry, I apparently didn’t record this one!)

I really love this aspect of shopping and exploring events such as this.  Full-up avatars are one thing, and full-up outfits are cool, but I really love finding things that go with other things and creating my very own look.

Fantasy Faire 2019: Darkna le’ Draegon

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews

In times of great need, we arise to meet tasks we never thought we could shoulder.

I’ll admit it, when I play D&D or other role-playing games (have you played Pathfinder ACG?  OMG so much fun!), I’m always playing the archer, or a sorceress, or a rogue…. never the fighter, never the swordswoman.  I just… never envisioned myself that way.

But Darkna le’ Drageon from Whymsical Marketplace is enough to change a girl’s point-of-view, and it’s on sale at Fantasy Faire 2019 now!

This armour set is designed for fitmesh, but also has rigged mesh pieces in three sizes.  You’re nearly guaranteed to be able to assemble your outfit from this!

  • {Way} — Aline R. 01 pose

This is an amazing little reminder to leave yourself open to things that might not have originally felt like you.  I definitely need to unleash a little bad-ass at various points in RL sometimes!  What a great way to channel my inner warrior, even if I probably can’t even lift that sword, let alone swing it!

Stargazer

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha kākou!  Hello, my friends!  I wanted to share a little lovely outfit from Jazabelle Boutique!  Stargazer is a wonderful ensemble with the most amazing jacket and maxi skirt that’s sure to make your statement.

Our very own Jaz has been putting out quite a few full ensemble outfits lately with a variety of options, and this one is no exception.  It features a full outfit, with bandeau top, the lovely jacket, necklace, boots, and a choice of mini or maxi skirt.  I totally adore the jacket… perfect for any astronomer… and every dreamer.

  • Jazabelle Boutique — Stargazer complete outfit (jacket, bandeau top, maxi and miniskirts, necklace and boots) (Lara fitmesh only)
  • [Kikay] — look up! pose

It may be a bit hazy to use my telescope tonight, but there are other pretty shinies to enjoy.

The maxi skirt has the most wonderful animated starry texture: the stars swirl about you in a slow but noticeable fashion.  While long mesh dresses and maxis can be… awkward… to dance in, this one is nicely rigged, and dances gentle dances quite well.  That said, I probably wouldn’t try a dance that’s too flamboyant!

Stargazer is at Jazabelle’s in-world shop now.  Stop by and take a look around, Jaz has been having a lot of fun putting things together for your enjoyment!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Pandora

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The March edition of We Love Role Play is underway, and Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs present the lovely Pandora gown in two-piece fitmesh.  I promise, I’m not here to open up a box of troubles!

The asymmetric sleeve design is definitely something different.  I like it, but I also think that it benefits from some not-insignificant arm jewelry.  I’m wearing Calliope from EarthStones here — a simple and classy look — but I think that you could get away with a more significant/bold armlet/bracer type of piece.

The leafy flowery detail on Pandora is really just incredible.  EarthStones’ Nature’s Splendour jewelry set (necklace and earrings) complements the gown as if it were made for it.  I’d love an armlet fashioned as a gold-vined leaf in the same theme as Nature’s Splendour.

Please stop by We Love Role Play and check out Pandora!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

 

A light against the darkness

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

February can be cold and long, but the Medievel Fantasy Faire is a shining light in the winter months, and Scarlet Fey has a beautiful fitmesh gown for Maitreya Lara to keep you warm and bright.

Phoenix Rising from Earthstones was the perfect complement to Elven Aurora‘s detailing.

Scarlet Fey incorporated a surprise in the Elven Aurora gown: the detailing very gently progresses through successive red/orange/yellow shading.  If the animation were quick, it would come across as a cheap gimmick, I think, but it’s slow and subtle and quite lovely.  You really need to stop by the Scarlet Fey booth at MFF to see the demo there to appreciate the effect!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Alice in Wonderland

Jaz Events, Fashion, Reviews

Recently I did a DJ set where I built an Alice in Wonderland decoration, complete with falling down a rabbit hole. As is my wont, I created my own Alice costume for it. And is also my wont, it had to be a somewhat sexy Alice. And as a third wont (wont, wont wont! Oh… sorry!), I made it a mix ‘n match special, including some full perm items.

The basis for the top is the laced demi-top with half sleeves CB155 from Cool Big Bird, which being full perm I colored in light blue and then set the transparency to be a bit more revealing. To this I added the shoulder puffs and long flexi sleeves from the Ninianne gown by Arwen’s Creations; and the Lolita Lace Cuffs by Sweet Thing. Alice has to have an apron, and the Jewel Ruffle Skirt by Bivvia fit that bill; I set the main part of the skirt to transparent, leaving just the top belt and the apron, then colored appropriately. The white part of the apron was also set to be partly transparent for a see through look.

Did I mention there was anything under that apron? Must have slipped my mind to include anything there, gosh… I did add some mesh bows on the hips to ease an awkward transition in the mesh of the apron and its belt. Supplementing the ensemble are (what else?) my fave boots from Candy Kitten.

I also found a new (to me) pose vendor in SEmotions, which has a nice set called Modeling Poses Set 52 at the Equal 10 event this month. Did I mention there was nothing under the apron? One could of course set the transparencies on the top and apron to opaque, and add a bikini bottom… but, why? 😀

Come join me for a little tea, my friends! Just be careful of that rabbit… and anyone wearing odd hats! Cheers!

Olive the Other Reindeer

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha my wonderful friends and Mele Kalikimaka!  It’s after the 25th, but the season of light and joy continues on.  There are some wonderful wintery outfits out there for you to find, and I have a few more to share with you.  Okay, so this isn’t Olive from the wonderful little children’s book, but it did make me think of her.  This is a beautiful novelty sweater, skirt, and scarf combo from Petite Mort available from We Love Role Play !

Each piece is sold separately, and available in eight lovely colours.  Each sweater includes a wonderful HUD with a choice of adorable animal patterns for the sweater — or plain, if you would prefer.

The scarf is the perfect touch to complement the outfit.  I also added the wonderful tights applier (Omega) and mukluks from Baby Monkey.

The season of joy will continue on and on, but this month’s We Love Role Play will be coming to a close!  Don’t miss out on such a wonderful warm cozy outfit!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
