Etheria- When Jewelers Dream

I have been constantly amazed at the detail work jewelry designers in SL have accomplished. From June 13 to June 20th, many of these wonderful designers have collaborated with fantasy clothing designers to put forth a plethora of dreaminess.

Here are just a couple of examples of loveliness that can be found at the Etheria event.

First up is a collaboration with Dark Mouse and Lark called Fae Dress and Fae Jewelry. Both the dress in the Jewelry come in Silver, Gold or Copper. Lark give 2 skirt attachment options, so I decided to add a bit of fullness by wearing both. Also Dark Mouse gave both spine and chest attachment options with the necklace.


Next up we have a great collaboration with Evie's Closet and MONKEE we have the Lyric Dress with Wings and the Dreamers Jewelry. MONKEE provides bracelet and necklace with or without resizer scripts.


I have made these pictures larger and encourage you to click on them to see the full detail of the jewelry featured.

So if you are looking to add a few new pieces to your inventory, please take some time to visit ETHERIA - WHEN JEWELERS DREAM.

HERE IS YOUR LIMO TO ETHERIA

In For The Night

Table set for two. Candles burning softly. Romantic music playing in the background. Now all you need is an outfit to make his eyes pop out of their sockets. Well, here it is!

morea Decosta of Morea Style has brought us another stunning outfit. Savanah reminds me of the beautiful lounging sets of the 1940's movies when women dressed well just to relax around the house. The sleek, form-fitting body suit hugs every curve of your shape except one leg exposed from ankle to hip. Off-the-shoulder sleeves are draped with long flowing, lacy sleeves. morea even provided two different styles of sleeves to choose from. Matching flexi pant prims run from knee to ankle, giving the pants a soft and feminine appeal.


Don't want to stay in for the night? Not to worry, because Savanah changed from pants to elegant dress in a click of a mouse. Simply add the long, prim skirt and you are ready for a formal ball or an evening of dancing.

Mayur necklace, earrings and bracelet from Alienbear add to the elegance. Soul shoes from N-Core helps give your exposed leg that extra ooh-la-la!

Whether staying in for the evening or spending the night out on the town, Savanah is ready for both.

OUTFIT: Savanah from Morea Style Evening Collection
HAIR: Love Story in Twilight from Exile Hair
SKIN: Belle sk Smokey Rubies from Belleza
JEWELRY: Mayur set in Black from Alienbear Jewelry
SHOES: Soul Xtreme Heel II from N-Core

A Trio of Random Outfits

So I have been lax. I have put together looks and maybe taken a couple of pics. Then when it comes time to blog..I get lazy. *hangs head in shame*

So today I am just going to show you a few items, mostly new that I would like to share with everyone!

First up are these Jeans by Designer Sanura Snowpaw of *Dreams*. I am a sucker for anything that has musical notes and the underpants layer of these jeans make awesome tights. Here I have put it together in a bit of an 80s look since my first chance to wear them was an 80s Event.


The Tunic top is from Elate! , Hair from Lamb, Pearls from SiSsi and shoes from 50 Flats. (Bangle are from Spork which is unfortunately no longer open).




Next up is the adorable dress from Surf and Co. It comes in an array of colors and the skirt is 3 pieces that moves very well when you walk.


Hair is by Grace by Truth, Skin is Cupid by Gala and though its smaller I am wearing the gold Mermaidia necklace by Eolande.



This next outfit is a purchase I made at the RFL Clothing Fair from , INDI Designs, it came with several pieces to choose from and I have to say the best fitting prim/sculpt skirt I have ever worn. (What little there was of it. *grins*).



Hair is from Deviant Kitties, Skin is from Gala, Boots by Indyra Originals.


If you would like any other details regarding the outfits above, feel free to IM me in-world I will be happy to send the landmarks your way!

See you soon!!

All the Fun of the Faire!

Alt Faire! Yummy! I've always tended to describe myself rather ambiguously as "alternative". Alternative to what, I don't know, but it's more of a cover-all term than say "goth" or "punk" or "ninja-pirate". "Alternative" pretty much says "normal? HUMBUG" and leaves it comfortably at that. And that's allll good with me.
And to that note - Yay! Alt Faire! Another big for-charity show, but one right up my street, hosted at the four corners of some of my favourite stores, and featuring some of my favourite designers, and a whole load more wonderful talent to boot. Of course, I'm boring an unoriginal and will be showing my usual suspects, but there's a vast array of quirky awesomeness to be found there.
I also like the charity that the Alt Faire benefits, Nothing But Nets. It's a simple concept, distributing mosquito nets in Africa, to help stop the spread of malaria. My own experiences with malaria are very light and British, mind you. My mother spent some childhood years living in Singapore, where mosquito nets were a necessity at the time, so she has all sorts of practical experience with the things. Also, in World War 2, my father's father was a pilot in the RAF, stationed in North Africa, but never saw combat, due to contracting malaria and having to be sent home. He was fine, of course, and my father was born which enabled me to be born, which allows you-the-reader to be sitting here reading my ramblings. The point is, thousands every day fall prey to the disease, and do not survive, but many of these deaths can be prevented with a simple mosquito net to keep the carriers of malaria away at night.
So it's all for a lovely cause! Yay!

As threatened, here is some silentsparrow! Exclusively for the Alt Faire, hya has made a special version of her stunning Mourna dress, named Mourn, only available in purple. Instead of the open-sided silk-like bustled skirt of Mourna, Mourn has a beautifully-moving full calf-length skirt, with a shock of purple lace forming the front and underskirt. Also, instead of having a halter-style top, it is sleeveless, with sexy straps across the back. In my scandallously skirtless pic, I am wearing the other exclusive from silentsparrow for the Alt Faire, the Ash Batty Knitty Sweater (five times fast, try it) and matching socks. My leopard-print tattoo is from silentsparrow's Melody Lee Fantasy Faire exclusive, but I have it on good authority there'll be more on the Fantasy Faire on this blog later. *nods*

The second of my oft-blogged favourites is Schadenfreude's exclusive, the Teal Skunk Electro-Cute dress. If you do not know about Allegory Malaprop's Electro-Cute line, what is wrong with you? Cutey-cute hand-drawn cuties, on all sorts of wearables, jewelery, shirts, DRESSES. And this one is a skunk with a pompadour. An adorable skunk with a pompadour. A SKUNK WITH A POMPADOUR PEOPLE! Why are you still reading this? Go buy it! A SKUNK WITH A POMPADOUR! I'll allow you to continue if you already have it, or promise to do so in the next hour. No excuses if you're a boy, she has manly 'beaters with it on them too. But if you get that, you miss out on the awesome black and white frilly sculpted skirt. And that's a tragedy.

Straying away from my usuals - I am simply just WILD for Mango, Mango!'s Doll skins, another Alt Faire exclusive. I've admired Sileny Noel's skins for a while now, but these, these are just love. they make me look like a cross between a silent film star and a porcelain doll. Simply adore the makeups, the bold eye colouring and the exaggerated cupid's bow of the lips. The one time I attempted to make a skin, the lips were in a similar style to these. Not as pretty, mind you, I'm kinda not very artistic, but the same general effect.
My boots are another Faire find, this time from Ducknipple. I have an ancient Space Invaders dress from that store from perhaps two years ago, and had forgotten all about them, so you can imagine how impressed I was when I found that they were still around and oh-so-good.

The Alt Faire runs from today until May 2nd, and can be found lurking across the four corners of the Nomine, New Kadath, Pulse and Snatch City sims. Do bear in mind that these are working sims, and be prepared for some lag, accordingly. Use common sense! And dig deep for Nothing But Nets
