The Dark Queen

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The latest round of Enchantment is open, and the theme is Snow White!  Our favourite fantasy purveyors, Silvan Moon Designs, has a sponsor booth with a new original mesh dress, the Evil Queen Grimhilde!

Grimhilde comes in six beautiful dark colours in fitmesh for SLink and Maitreya bodies.

There are five different components to this gown — the gown itself, an overskirt, sleeves, belt, and collar.  All are fitmesh save the collar, which is mod and resizeable.

Please visit Enchantment today — as all dreams, it is fleeting.  It’s a lovely shopping experience, and there are many wonderful things to find!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

embers of a raging fire

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The Santa Rosa fire caused devastation, taking the homes and properties of so many.  Kerryth at Spyralle turned the tragedy of the destruction of the Coffey Park neighbourhood to art in Ignis, a beautiful gown for the Trick or Treat Lane event, in memory of all the joys that lived there.  You can find it at Trick or Treat Lane, but only for a limited time!

There are three beautiful textures, but Ember matched my fiery curls just right.

All Hallow’s is past, but Trick or Treat Lane goes on until November 3rd.  Don’t miss out on this fiery beauty!

Aloha!  A hui hou!

My namesake

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Two lovely friends found the perfect dress for me — Mahina by [AdN] Designs.  It’s a light and fluttery beach dress, a perfect little flirty fashion as you hit the waves.

Mahina features a lovely little colour-texture HUD, but I think I’m in love with the rainbow!

Mahalo nui loa to Frani and Keko for my lovely gift.  You two are so sweet and I’m so happy that you’re part of my life!  And thank you, dear readers, for stopping by to share!

Mahalo!   A hui hou!

Spirit of Hope

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

One of the things I’m most happy about in Second Life is that we’re not just a game, we’re not just playing about, we do try to make a difference.  Creations for Parkinson’s has organised a major Hallowe’en event to support the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Team Fox in support of research of Parkinson’s Disease.  100 per cent of all proceeds from the Gotham Island Event will be donated to Team Fox!

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs are taking part with two wonderful creations.  Spirit of Hope is an all fitmesh gown and overskirt for SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara.  It is beautiful and simple and elegant.

Spirit‘s overskirt features beautiful pale lavender floral accents that complement the lavender skirting on the gown.  Bee has really outdone herself with the texturing here!

Please visit Gotham Island Event and financially support the fight to end Parkinson’s Disease.  Researchers are making progress, but they need the funding to carry out the work!  We can end this debilitating syndrome!

Fae of the Fall

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

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 texture, ONLY 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.

Tara on the beach

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Why do stores give out group gifts?  I figure two good reasons — to thank their customers, and to encourage new customers into their stores.  I’ve gladly just discovered {FAFA} ethnic clothing, and you can be sure I’ll be back!

Alaska Metro <3‘s Daytime is a lovely general-purpose makeup set, eyeshadow and lippy for any casual occasion. 

Off we go, skipping down the sand — chasing every moment of Summer that’s left.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

the allure of gold

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Mmmm, it’s Friday night.  Dress up sharp, something slinky and sparkly.  Wine me, dine me, take me dancing, I want to see the lights of the city!

Romance me until the night is long, the stars shining in the sky the faintest echo of the sparkle in your eyes.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

 

Warm sands

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Summer may be drawing to a close, but the water is warm and you will have to drag me from the beach.  Here’s a lovely little treasure from MOoH! that I picked up at this summer’s Aloha Fair.   Their Rainbow Bikini has been updated to include not only the standard five rigged mesh sizes, but fitmesh for pretty much any mesh body you might like.  It’s fun and flirty and suits this girl just fine!

  • MOoH! — Rainbow bikini
  • EarthStones — Tumbled Stones (spectrum) necklace, earrings, and bracelet
  • [evolove] — October #2 pose gift

Happy aloha Friday!  I hope that you are enjoying beautiful weather and warm sands!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
