52 Week Colour Challenge, Champagne

Champagne....such a gorgeous colour.

To begin this years challenge I have chosen one of Nicky Ree's most beautiful, classic gowns..The Lady Aurora Gown, with the svelte skirt. The texturing is divine, the lace so delicate yet heavy. The design makes this gown suitable for any occasion, from wedding to medieval ball.

The location was built and shown to me by a friend, who I don't see enough. The stunning tower has to be seen to appreciate it properly. Raven, thank you! So here are the details:

Sam Goes Shopping... learns to read

This is a tale of two very chic stores. MiaMai & Baiastice and one clueless avi who doesn't read carefully! I looked at the new MiaMai Black Label designs. Totally awesome, but wasn't sure what would suit. Then I saw the Chod collection and immediately bought what I thought was a nice strapless dress. WRONG! It was the Dakini Rosed pants! Hence the first shot. They're amazing pants, but left me a little bare...

So I thought.. why not match the tops from 2 of the new and lovely Baiastice dresses. First up is the Liksye dress in rose, which was a very subtle match I thought. Jewelry is the paper couture Riverstone set.
Then I thought well the black texture and white sparkles of the Baiastice Zoey in red might make a nice foil for the MiaMai Dakini pants in Rose. Earrings are paper couture Faceted Black Diamond Arrangement. The little cuff on the neckline precluded wearing a necklace. On the right is the Zoey dress on her own worn with Pixel Mode Baby T's in black.

Then, having shown the BaiasticeLiksye dress with the Dakini pants I felt it deserved to be shown on it's own. It comes with the back draped necklace. My earring are Muse Elle Orchid [NA]. Shoes are again Pixel Mode Baby T's in berry.

My skin in all shots is Liane Natural from Adam n Eve [R] with part of sachi's Christmas pressie to me, maples lips. [R] Hair is elikatira Breathe in Blonde 02.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Orange

Orange...I have plenty of this colour, so what to choose?

It's gone past Halloween so I steered clear of the cliche. Instead I opted for Riddles Hawaiian print bikini. Beautifully textured and just so very pretty.

This has to be a a short post so find the rest below, sorry folks!
