Holey Moley
Over the years there have been many reasons to visit the store, or run into the Designer and her items that I am featuring today. The first time I landed there was because of something I read, the second time was because of Pirate boots and not only did I walk out with those, but also some Yeti ones as well – goes to find them to put them on, they should keep me warm. Wooohooooo * clomps around in my fox fur yeti boots.
Ok where was I, oh yeah, third was at a Charity Auction were the Mens suit came out on a lady,the fourth time was for an Aussie Bikini, and the most recent was not to the actual store, but to see the designer on Fabulous Fashion…now originally I went to the taping to see Zoe Demar as guest stylist, but I was ever so excited to be able to actually sit in on the taping of one of our long time, and wonderful resident Designers Swaffette Firefly as a guest of the show.
For a start, if you have ever wondered, or in fact thought about it at all, I think she sounds exactly how you might imagine. Swaffette Firefly has a lovely speaking voice with an adorable accent. She spoke passionately about her designs, the process, and her past and future with Second Life, it was actually a really captivating show, I could have listened to her all day.
Anyway I am rambling, and I totally meant for this to be a short post, almost as short as the sexy Crochet ensemble I am featuring from SF Designs today. If like me you were around at all in the 70’s , I was born then but I remember it well, you will find this look very familiar. The crochet look was huge, if you had a nana that crocheted you were set, but then convincing them to make you an itty bitty bikini wasn’t always so easy.
I didn’t have the nana, but I did have a store bought pink crochet bikini, and you cannot get them wet, they are for enjoying the sun in, nothing more. The one that comes with this Caribbean Crochet set is beautiful, not only is it white and able to show off your tan splendidly, but it has the lovely addition of beads at the cleavage, straps and ties..a really nice look and a touch of colour.
The dress has two options, cheeky and discreet, note the cheeky is just that, but of course you can wear the bikini bottoms under it, the bikini top as well if you wish too, but the straps and style of the tops don’t go together as well , so on it’s own is just right.
There is something definitely naughty about crochet, I don’t know why, but even though you are covered, you can end up feeling way more exposed than if you were wearing less. I guess that is the whole idea, definitely an outfit for Second Life, with the weather always permitting, this is an ensemble that is perfect for walks along the beach, enjoying time outdoors, and definitely, definitely for enticing your partner with.
If you want to check out the PERFECT place, and I do mean PERFECT place for island items,a beautiful store – uses the word store ever so loosely – is a place created by Tobias Novi, I have a few of his pieces at The Deck , and I wish I had room for more, his work is stunning and prim count will be a thing of the past once you start buying from there, everything is huge and yet little prims used.
He does a lot of the outside sim reefs and islands, also his inside sim stuff is just gorgeous, his tree houses need to be seen and enjoyed, so grab some friends and explore his sims, and be amazed like I was that they are homesteads. Also look for the squirrel house , it is a work of art.

Oh Hai
You know it’s not just men that laugh stupidly at so obviously naughty words.Ok maybe we don’t laugh the same as boys do, but we do notice when something is named something that is a bit tongue in cheek so to speak, or maybe it isn’t at all, and some just have dirtier minds than others – and by some I mean me.
So when Newdolly tpd me to the location of the first dress, yeah I wen’t “oh my” and then had a giggle, and it still makes me laugh just thinking about it.The dress is adorably cute, and the store was actually next door to where Newdoll was showing me in the first place.
Stardust Flapper was a perfect dress for the Pixie Hairstyle I’m wearing, tight and curled in just the right places, it has that look of the 20’s, with modern styling products.
We all know I have my purple condition, and I still stand by my round about notion that I don’t hate it exactly, it’s just one shade I cannot handle, and if there are other colours to be had , purple tones would rarely be a choice over others. But I have to say I am so for loving these Grape pants. They also have a long version, and they did have cuffs, but with the capri length , the way cool piping in white, it was too hard not to combine them with the latest Cross Laced Up Heels.
Showing three of the colours available in these shoes, they are with feet and toes, so yes you will have to match them to your skin, or do as i do , match your skin to your shoes. I love how these wrap around the leg, the wide straps of leather look soft and generous in length, the bow at the back is glorious..make sure you try on the demos to make sure they work with your shape, but they do definitely come with resizers inbuilt.
The tanks that have the slight lift to work over belted pants are a win, but even when not wearing prim attachments it just looks cute having that little bit of exposure. A little bit casual for the Sienna hair, with its slight waves and mid length it all works. Seriously the pants are YUM.
Ophelia is a gown to delight the romantic senses, not just in it’s full gown glory, but with the tea skirt that is belted at the midriff it’s just divine. The creamy fabric decorated with soft smatterings of leaves and flowers is just so delicately beautiful. This is the kind of gown that alludes to being truly a princess of nature, for me it is like coming alive from the forest itself.
As inspiring, the Alethia hair is beautiful also, and combined they make one hell of an impact. The hair is adorned with coins and chain, and would definitely make great hair for Kajira and anyone for that matter in silks, but with the Ophelia Gown it was just heavenly.
More newly released skins in the Elegance series, firstly I am wearing the May in tone 3 as well as the Elegance Emotion skin in Serene and Happy, all the skins in this range have great character, so it is just a case of finding the right one for you. YAY DEMOS.

Paradise
I came across an adorable store today, very Elf like in build, with a kind of space age mysticism added in. Instantly I thought of Beauvoir of Maitreya. If you have ever seen Beau you would know why. So this is what I would think he would wear if he was a girl lol – dodges the smack.
Ok he probably wouldn’t show his tummy as much as I am, but still it is such a beautiful store and he makes me smile everytime I see him. On a seperate note, I once did a pic pile up of him and Onyx so maybe it will give you insight into what I am rambling about, it is HERE .
The clothing is all from the same store, the range is magnificent, and the prices WOW you just really need to get over there and look.
Being able to move through a store like this, and just really love the textures alone is really lovely, even if the style isn’t yours, you really cannot fault the execution of each design. One thing I didn’t notice at the time, is that all the perms differ, some items are no copy, some are no transfer. I rarely ever pay attention to that as I keep everything , so unless I am on a mission of gifting it rarely matters, but it is nice to find a store that does actually have such lovely pieces that you can give, just make sure you check first.
When I put on the first set I knew that it needed more magic, and the jump to the Inspired Sparrow wings was simple, these wings are stunning and with the sculpties being perfectly shaped and xcite compatible, which is a giggle and a half sometimes. The wings beautifully compliment the Asian Flower necklace by the same creator but in a different store on the same sim. I love when creators branch out of their comfort zones, but keep to their own names so that fans of their work can really grow alongside them.
There is nothing better to me than open fronted or short fronted long skirts, I love them RL and SL, best way to show off boots there is. Yes with flexi skirts your boots are going to jut through regardless, but its so nice when it has a little more realism to it.
Angelina boots are slimline boots in a crushed leather look, so very detailed, with the laced up backs and full length inside leg zippers – the toes are pointed to Whimsy Winx standards of acceptability *snickers*. Another beautiful feature of the Angelina boots are the seam up the front, these things are as real as can be.
All of the clothing was available in at least 4 colours, and green fans unite, because this store loves us…and not just green but THAT green, the soft autumn like green that is just cherishable, yes I almost did do the post entirely in green lol. Many of the outfits also had other options, such as the black Insect Latex set on the second pic, that has the sheer open look top and bottom, as well as the closed, so even more bang for your buck.
As you can see also, you can wear the skirted outfits without as they do come with pants options, and some even came with a second pair for boots, those were made on another pants layer though, not underpants. There are mens items also at the store on the second level, so be sure to take your partner, and if you are into RP definitely give it a visit, because the prices are amazing, and the work is splendid.
I really love how they look with the Timeless IIÂ skins too, with new make ups and a lovely canvas to show off such lovely clothing, they also come in a freckled version. As usual I love the mouths on this skin, and the way the eyes are shaded gives them so much character. Make sure you give the Demos a spin, maybe even grab them on your way to the clothes.
I couldn’t resist wearing the Maitreya hair either in this post, as the white is always hair Beau wears, and the new styles look fantastic on Men, and now with the NEW Tones, Beau has actually changed to Silver and once you see the demos of the new colours you will see why, it is GORGEOUS.
