When Less is NOT More




Okay, so my grandmother always told me; "Less is More", and generally, I agree... except for today!!! :D

Yup, this outfit I've put together is totally over the top, totally full on and totally lush :)



So what inspired me to break my granny's simple rule you might ask? This hair! OMG LOVE IT! Kalli from Discord Designs sent it to me the other day and when I put it on I was just WOW! awesome! You may know Kalli's work with braids, and she does do brilliant ones... I've worked on some jewellery to go with those braids... so I can tell you as one that has stared for hours on end intensely zoomed in on them, they really are THAT good, not many things can stand up to that sort of scrutiny. But I think that this hair shows you that she's not just about braids. The way she has variegated the colours is so well done, and the style itself is lovely.



The outfit is from Schadenfreude, Allegory Malaprop does great work. It's one of those shops that you can just click & buy everything there without going "hmm, hope the seems match", her stuff is always quality. The boots are from Bettie's another store that I love.

The rest of the outfit was put together through a total adventure of TP'ing to stores that I had never been before... I had fun!

I went to Mandala for the first time ever, I HIGHLY recommend that place! I make jewelly (as I'm sure you know) so I tend to be a bit of a jewellery snob, this place left me going WOW! the attention to detail and the originality of the pieces there is just amazing! The choker & necklace where a real find, some great stuff to be found at PERTURB/ation The waist scarf or stole as it is advertised in store is from =IZUMIYA=

And lastly, the skin, it's from Trap, and just rocks, well you can see that for yourself... another store that I will be going back and back and back to!


Until next time when I fill you in on my fun gambols about SL.

Enjoy!

ROAR!!!



Hi all,

In keeping with my new tradition of blogging the things on the grid that I love, so I can share it with the masses... here is my weekly post :)

Check out these poses! Cool ha? Totally kick arse? hell yes! These are the work of the posing genius Jonny Dusk of 5ifth Order.

As a fellow content creator I think it's important to recognise the people on the grid who's work just shines. For me as a pose maker, I can say with absolute sincerity that Jonny's work is just that. His work is brilliant. His ability to capture and convey emotion, action, and story in just one still moment is surpassed by none.

If you don't know the work of Jonny Dusk, and have never been to 5ifth Order, I urge you to do so. Jonny is the poser that I want to be when I grow up! :D





The rest of the outfit I put together from Exile, Illusions, SLink and La Sylphide. For full outfit & pose credits scroll down)

In other news! Remember that gorgious outfit that Evie Miles of Evie's Closet released earlier this month... name Faery (after me, just in case you missed that ;D)? Well, Amyla Wakowski of the Hidey Spot has made some lovely skins to go with that (ALSO name after moi!)

So as Name Stuff after Faery Month, *coughs* I mean OCTOBER, draws to a close (well for northern hemisphere folks in any case) I leave you with the pic below of me; Faery, wearing Faery and Faery LOL

Take care, and until next time...

Enjoy!

This is Bat Country!



Oh hai!

Yes, I know I went "pfft, I am so not a fashion blogger", but I have decided that given that I have exceptionally good taste (obviously), I should share this with my fellow shoppers :)

This outfit is not named after me... sad over site I think you'll agree? LOL But when I first saw this outfit by Silent Sparrow I decided it was a must have. I'm not a big shopper when it comes to fashion, I tend to spend my L's on gadgets, sculpts (I have a *slight* addiction there), landscaping & general fun quirky stuff.

So to get me out of my workshop it really has to catch my attention, and this did... I love the hand drawn detail that hyasynth Tiramisu puts into her designs. I'm a definite fan of hand drawn stuff.


The skin is another favourite by La Sylphide. Stephanie Misfit creates some beautiful skins, but the thing that sets her work apart for me is her very strong feminine faces... just glorious!

The hat/hair is an old favourite... Noah by Philotic Energy. This hat/hair combo is not currently available as it is having a little make over & a freshen up. It's brilliant now, so I can't wait to see what it's next incarnation will be! You can check out Aems' current styles at her new store Fusemelon.

You can get the rest of the outfit details below... thanks for reading,

Enjoy!

Hat/Hair: my favourite hair in the world: Noah by Philotic Energy... if you don't have it, you'll just have to wait to get it, possibly cry a little until you can get it, but eventually Aems will release it again & the world will look all shiny & new.

Skin: La Sylphide - Katie - Tan (Mocha) - LOVE LS skins, go get this too... you won't regret it.

Eyes: EyeFidelity RealEyes - Sharbat Bright (i) - SbZ

Jewellery: :+:SS:+: Celtic Knotwork Bracelet [bronze] & :+:SS:+: Woman's Celtic Knotwork Leather Cuff -Right (Brown) - Obviously you should go & get these because you are a discerning person of good taste ;)

Boots: [0N] Wo Boots - Very good boots, clearly good combat boots are essential to any wardrobe.

Ears: SLink and Studio Sidhe Sachara Crystal Elf Ears Pointy - of course you need these! pfft, there is no question!

Pose: :+:SS:+: On the Fence - Couples Pose (pose was taken from that set... you can rip these sets apart cause they're copy/mod...handy, I know)

Outfit & Goggles: (women's)(rust) Lysander ~silentsparrow~ - The outfit that contains bats! but isn't it great? Go get that too.

...and 40 Foot Smurfs!!!



Oh hai!

I don't usually do fashion blogs, well actually, I don't think I ever have before, but first time for everything! And I know that Caj, Gidge, Acha, Mourna, Tear & Amyla will be going "Has the world gone mad??? FAERY IS BLOGGING!!! *dies*"

But THIS outfit I felt needed some Faery bloggage... for two reasons:

First Reason: The dress is the spectacular new creation of Evie's Closet... a name I'm sure you'll agree that is synonymous with style and quality.

and...

Second Reason: This outfit is named for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! heehee

I am, to be totally serious now; so completely honoured by this tribute and beyond touched... to know that someone thinks enough of you that they would want to name one of their creations after you; well it's massive. Is there a greater compliment? And for that creation to be made by one of the best designers in SL... I'm floored! There is really no other way to put it.

Below is a pic that Evie did (amazing photographer as well as being a genius designer) which I wanted to show you here because I just love how versatile her creations are... from the top pic of the rather goth look I did above, to this sweet, whimsical image below... I think it shows that you are only limited by your imagination when choosing a look to go with her creations.



The outfit comes in five different colours with each colour coming with FOUR different options of dress... and the wings are so gorgeous! :D

So go to Evie's Closet now, and pick yourself up a glorious faery outfit, I'd love to see what you do with my namesake heehee

Enjoy!

Take a step back in time...



hi everyone,

This is a gown that I have been working on for what seems like forever! LOL But I am really happy with the result :)

As you know, I don't make clothes often, and when I do it's because I simply can't find anything in SL like what I want... so I make it LOL



The gown features lace detailing on the bodice, hem and cuff frills and is finished with some charming pearl buttons. There are two skirt options, with and without a tie back and everything is of course mod/copy so you can adjust it to your avi. I hope you enjoy this peak into an era of gentle feminine beauty.

The nightgown is available in world at the Moonsong main store or at Xstreet should you like to give this as a gift.

Enjoy!

~Faery~
