What to Wear? Try RED from A&E

It's New Year's Eve and I'm wearing Adam and Eve, starting with sachi's new and elegant formal, Chiandra, in RED. Yes it comes in other colors, but the RED is what you want:) It is a modest dress, despite its color and beautifully textured. I'm also wearing A&E's Connie hairstyle in Golden and the new Taylor skin in Natural Blush. My jewelry is from Donna Flora and the poses are the "Rosalie" ones from Gesticulate. All items except the jewelry were either presents or review copies.

52 Cerise

Now *I'm* the one who is behind again. So here, a bit later, is CERISE! I started with the ~silent sparrow~ special edition Lysander suit, but in the end all I am wearing from it are the belt and the wings, which I tinted slightly. My tube top and pants are from 5th + Oxford. They are having a brand-closing sale. Everything is 50L including these nautical outfits. My shoes are from Adam n Eve, the newish Margots in cerise/white. My skin is and old Fleur Allure one [alas no longer available] and the earrings are "No Love Lost" from Violate Voltaire. Poses are from the "Naughty & Nice" set from /GEEZ/.

52 Week Colour Challenge…Green

Doing this blogger challenge is really good fun, but it does tentd to make me slightly lazy in the fact that I can always find a formal in whatever colour arises. So to stop this I decided to shake myself up a little and work at each colour by using a different folder in my inventory for each colour. This week’s colour comes from my undies folder.

I love Chanimations and deviousMinds; such creative talent flowing with great ideas. The Feather Queen Diamond lingerie compliments the burlesque poses and props supplied from the same stables. It’s almost there lingerie but still covers the essentials, meaning the imagination still holds supreme in the seduction game. Brrrrrilliant!

I kept the rest simple…the shoes are N-Cores ILLUSIONs, as they seemed the type a burlesque performer may use.

Skin by PXL Creations complimented the green theme, along with Miriels eyes. Hair I kept long and curly for the temptress feel.

WOW! New Release

I know I wax lyrical about Nicky Ree and her clothes but this week she blew me out the water with her latest release.

The Pheonix Costume was designed for Serene Faith and helped her win the Miss Virtual World 2011 title.

Now this spectacular gown is available to the rest of us. Based on the Tang dynasty but with a modern twist this costume is a show stopper.

A beautiful svelte gown lies beneath fabric panels then its topped off with a sumptuous transparent full length coat. The design, the textures, the prim work…all absolutely amazing.

I have shown it here as MVW 2011 national costume. The hair is from Tukinowaguma and is complemented with Alienbears jewellery and head piece. Both creators joining Nicky in creating the most elegant, regal, stunning national costume for the competition.

I’ll let the picture speak for themselves…

52 Week Colour Challenge...Cerise

Cerise…well, I am not a huge fan of pink but I do kind of like cerise. That said I don’t have much in the way of cerise in clothing.

After a short search I rediscovered Mimikri’s gift of a while ago, the Seduction hot pink. A system, knee length dress made of beautiful lace. The beautiful touch being the wide waistband sash and big bow at the back made from satin. It reminds me of a cocktail and contemporary version of the Monroe dress when she sang Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend.

I used PXL Creations Candy skin, Lime, to compliment and contrast the dress.

I found a couple of Dressing Room treats that matched this chic dress…*YS&YS* Stiletto Baby and booN LOK255 hair pink. Then another gift finished the look, GaNKeD Suri Rose necklace and earrings.

Thinking about what to do for the shoot I remembered a Juicy gift, Shopping Girl, with pose and shopping bag props. To add to this I also used a recent purchase of DM poses, Toxic Model and Exquisite.

New Stuffs!

After a hectic Fall I've poked my pixel head above the waterline and lo and behold NEWNESS!

First up is NYC Shirt Dress which is new from the hands of sachi Vixen of Adam & Eve. As you can see I'm wearing it as a shirt;) It has a lovely stand-up collar and puffy sleeves and comes in other yummy colors as well. (This is lemon) My skin is also A&E's Taylor Natural Gold. Jeans are the highwaisted ones from Narwhal, hair is my fave from eha. Jewelry is the Carollin set from (luc) Fashion Jewelry. Poses from /GEEZ/. Background is the view from the Empire State building taken by a young friend of ours.


Everyone was raving about "mon tissu" the brainchild of well-known and respected designers, Emma Gilmour and Julliette Westerberg. Took me a while to get there, but folks were right. This is very beautifully done work at a fair price. I'm wearing the Joli beaded top in brown. And right here I have to say that the textures are amazing and that the sculpted prim skirt thingy is the best I've seen for wearability and matching.

I'm also wearing the MichaMi Laila trousers in Coffee AND my One Eleven indulgence, The Wanderer shoes in Brown Sugar from Ingenue. And, while digging through my mess of an inventory for jewelry I came across "Louhi" by Tekeli-li, which is usefully color-change.

Hair is from the, alas, defunct Amrita store. I saw it first on Cajsa Lillehook, who is very sick right now. So a shout-out to her to get well soon so I can get more ideas from your blog:) Poses are from Gesticulate. Skin is A&E's Taylor, again, in Natural Blush.

52 Week Colour Challenge...catch up, part 3

OK so I am still playing catch up…hopefully I will get in synch next week.

Sepia…interesting colour. I confess to having lots of earthy colours in my wardrobe but not that many that are actually sepia. The best, and most fondly rediscovered, is Rebel Surf Co. Cocoa Floral Bikini.

Yellow…oooo…definitely not my colour and as such I don’t have much in my inventory that colour. Fortunately, working for Nicky Ree means I get a variety of colour dropped on me for work. One such gown was the DNR Reona Gown in Yellow.

Again, letting the pictures speak for themselves…

Glitter and Fur

Nicky Ree’s latest release is a nod to old Hollywood glamour. The Gina Mermaid Gown sparkles and will turnh heads wherever you go.

A wonderful deep cleavage ‘v’top front matches the deep dipping back, with spaghetti strings mimicking the front ‘v’. A svelte skirt finishing in an abundance of net forming the ‘mermaid’ tail shows off every curve a girl has. Included are both the fur boa and hat to keep you warm on these Winter nights. Every surface has Nicky’s famous hand drawn textures meaning that the quality, as well as the design, is just first class.

I have hardly taken it off my pixels since getting it and blogging other things has become a bit of an issue as I have to take it off…lol.
Seriously, want a head turner for this Christmas??? Then you can do no wrong with the glamorously stunning DNR Gina Mermaid Gown.

52 Yellow

Took me two shoots to get yellow right, but I think I got it. I also experimented with AnaLu's windlight settings. I know, I'm so 2008. Shadows? What are those?

My top is /artilleri/'s Ah Bella shirt in Tropical Yellow. I love the neckline and the sleeves. They are tarty, yet elegant. My skirt is part of the *NR* Gift Box Satin Shine Cocktail Dresses Yellow from Designing Nicky Ree. The ETD d'Orsay Stilettos in Random Yellow grace my feet. They are oldies, but very goodies. The last 3 items are no longer available I think.

Thank you again, Luna Jubilee for the fun:)

52 Week Colour Challenge…catch up, part 2

OK, so I have found a work around for shooting…woot! Still involves an alt but I can now use my main inventory so more choice of clothes.

Goldenrod…now what on Earth is that???? Judging by all the posts I have seen so far it’s a shiny yellow. As it was Nicky Ree released the DNR Josie Corset Gown and Dress which, in yellow, appeared to be the perfect colour…result!

Plum next and this caused a bit of fun finding something. In the ned I was a tadge liberal with my plum…I ‘plumed’ for a pale plum in the end….I know *groan*.

Again, pictures and styling speak volumes.

Thanks to Luna Jubilee for this wonderful blogger challenge…such fun finding things to wear…woot!

OK, my avatar is having problems in both V2. And Kirsten so, although these shots are taken before my problems the remainder, until further notice, will be from an alt I have made with less finances. I guess it’ll be more of a challenge for me.

My first catch up is for the colours Grey and Blue.

Grey was interesting as I thought I had quite a bit of grey in my inventory. Turns out I do but not a lot to my current liking….fickle? Yes!

Blue was a bit trickier, as it’s one of my favourite colours, but I love what I ended up with.

I’ll let the pictures and style details speak for themselves.

52 Sepia

I've been champing at the bit on this one as I knew the minute sepia was announced as the next 52 challenge color that I would wear hyasynth Tiramisu's Coronis Suite from ~silent sparrow~. It was one of my first big splurge purchases from there and I've never regretted it. Coronis is a ball-worthy gown if there ever was one.

Also wearing:
Necklace: Donna FloraMISS-G black set
Hair: Season in Brown 02
Skin: Adam n Eve Taylor in Blush Natural with bewbs.
Poses: [LAP]

52 Plum

Yep it's a plummy challenge this week. I didn't have trouble finding Plum in my inventory. The problem was deciding. Finally I decided on a now [unfortunately] discontinued ~silent sparrow~ dress called Meadowlark. hya has grown in her work since then, but this dress always makes me feel like an elegant country maiden. Even back then there are about 1000 skirt options:) hya has always been a generous creator. Love you hya!


I'm also wearing Adam n Eve's new Taylor skin in Natural Blush. I can't emphasize enough how beautiful this whole skin is from tits to tail ;) Hair is Maitreya's Uma in Copper, which I seem to wear when I want something quirky and chic. Jewelry is from [ET] Frippery-- The Waltz of the Snowflakes.

One Eleven, 1 Eleven, One 11

Anyway you spell it, it's EXPENSIVE. And tbh most of it isn't to my style or worth the price. My first two "nabs" are though, I think. elikatira's Season hair and the Ingenue Wander shoes.


My skin is Adam n Eve's new Taylor. It's another smash hit, and not at limited edition prices. Clothing is MichaMi & Narwhal. Poses by /GEEZ/

Ginger!

I've always wanted Rebel Hope's Ginger dress, but couldn't quite justify it given my dull SL. But when the dress showed up as a Fall Special Edition and the color was redhead-perfect. Well... Also "Ginger" wa my nickname in high school so... This version of Rebel's dress disappears December 1. Go get yours!

Wearing:
Rebel Hope Designs Ginger Special Fall Edition [includes clutch and pose]
Maitreya Uma hair in Copper
Adam n Eve Taylor skin in Natural Blush
ETD Orsay Stilettos in Random Yellow [na]
MOOD Infinity choker [R]
paper couture citrine earrings
Pose comes with the included clutch purse.

52 Goldenrod

Thanks to Luna Jubilee for this challenge:) Only two items came up for Goldenrod in my inventory and one had already been blogged so I decided to dig a bit further for "may be named 'yellow' but sure looks like goldenrod to me" options. I ended up in /artilleri/ as her "yellow" looks "goldenrod" to me;)


So I am wearing... /artilleri/'s Bowling shirt *Flames - Black/Color* and the skirt from Poodle Power! *yellow* . It feels as though it needs a belt, but any belt I added covered the obvious match between the two parts so got nixed. Anyway it's two powerful retro icons in a single shot!

I'm still wearing Kalnin's Promenade boots, PXL Creations Candy Bronze Lips in Natural and Elikatira's Details in Blonde 02.

All around the skirt

I find patterns particularly hard to combine, especially animal and camo prints. So what happens is that, generally, I fiddle with the item for a while but in the end I never wear it: I just give up, figuring I lack the skill to mix and match. But when this skirt saw the light after hiding in my inventory for a while, I figured it was worth a shot, considering I didn't even have to adjust the prims. The culprit is Mimikri's Peggy sculpted mini in Olive, which I purchased in The Dressing Room Blue a while ago (meaning it's no longer available). The skirt came with a blouse which was too short, too sheer, and not autumnal enough for the look I had in mind. So, here was a challenge: finding something to wear it with in my out-of-control, out-of-date inventory. In the end I came up with not just one, but two combinations.

The length of the skirt (or rather, the shortness) made boots an immediate must -- any excuse is good for boots. It was just the perfect chance to wear these again since I bought them last spring - J's Western boots. After trying them on the legs still seemed too bare, so I figured I had to find the right tights to go with the skirt. A quick inventory search for "tights" and, bingo, I had bought the whole lot at a place called MCs ages ago, so I was bound to find a colour that matched. In the end I opted for Dark Olive, from the Earth Tone pack. After that came the hardest part, finding a top, which is where I would normally give up. I had already included dark brown and olive green, so I figured camel would be a good option to pick up on the skirt's shades. So, I donned an old favourite, the Julie Sweater from the long gone Last Call. The combo looked nice, but somehow too bland... and then it dawned on me: how about adding a jacket on top, to give it a more layered feel? This bolero is part of the Robot Love outfit by Icing, but can be worn with almost anything, classic to modern. And last, on to accessories... how about something made of wood? Then, it has to be the Heartwood necklace from -back when I bought it,-Earthtones with its matching bracelet. That's it, got it! But... wait... how about a black turtleneck and thicker tights?

For this other, more wintery look, I chose the Eva turtleneck in black, by Pink Outfitters, together with the PixelDolls green knit leggings. To avoid clashes between the sweater prims and the jewellery, I decided to go without any accessories. So, not bad, in the end!

The other stuff: Hair - Amelia by fri.day (Jealous red); eyes - Miriel in Forest (store no longer existing); skin - Helena 03 by Tuli (TDR special, no longer available); poses (1st pic) Glitterati, (2nd pic) - /GEEZ/

52 Blue [and Gray]

From Copley Square

As many of you know I work for the Copley Square shopping sim. Normally I try to keep work and blogging apart, but when I found myself wearing and posing "a la CS" I decided to blog:)

The dress is from MIU, a new one called Astray. It comes with many more parts than I am wearing [leggings, armwarmers, cowl neckpiece etc...], but the basic dress plus shrug felt right for me.The design and textures are nicely done and the dress is a fun one to wear. I've paired it with the new Kanins Promenade boots, still at a promo price until Thursday I believe. Eleven colors in one slick, stylish boot. Not bad. My 3rd CS item are the poses from Gesticulate, a new store that is new to Copley too!

Otherwise I am wearing Eha hair, Violet Voltaire's "No Love Lost" in Iron, Blowpop fishnets (R) and my favorite PXL Creations skin Candy with cateyes and bronze lips. (R)

Happy Halloween!!

Eenie, meanie... Halloweenie

As Samara pointed out to me not long ago, it's been ages since my last blog post. She actually was nice enough to even ask whether she should kick me out yet or not. I guess it's well deserved. I've got an audience (called Keris, Samara and Fury) who deserves better. My not blogging is not caused by lack of willingness, not even of inspiration. Basically, RL has gone crazy job-wise and has ended up kicking me out of SL™. Too much RL work means cutting down on SL time, so the first casualty was my job as an SL translator with Babel Translations. Pity, Peter Stindberg has been a great boss and I haven't really had a chance to tell him. Even more pity, no SL job and a rental to pay means L$ run out in no time. Result: no shopping. I'm serious. I haven't been out shopping for MONTHS (!!)... well, ok, no shopping anywhere other than The Dressing Room. That, I couldn't help. The drama, innit? Well, it doesn't end here.

Fast forward to beginning of October. I log in at our newly-rearranged treehouse (after halving our parcel to cut down expenses) to find that I can't rez objects, even wearing the land group tag. Say what? Then I notice the dreadful words: "Abandoned land". Our parcel is now owned by Governor Linden. Oh, no! And we've just paid the rent for a whole month. After some research, Keris -The Boyfriend- and I conclude that our landowner has vanished into thin air without a word. Which is, I must say, not nice. I won't name names because he's been wonderful and very understanding until the very moment of his disappearing act -- besides, we don't know whether something awful has happened to him. But let's be honest, sending at least a group notice would have been appreciated by the many people who lived across his land. Anyways, after clearing out all the no-copy items from our parcel (the rest shall not be removed until our rental expires), I tell Samara the story. She, being the guardian angel that she is (and has been all my SLife), offers to put something up for us on her sky. I decline, but I tell her I'll gladly come over if I ever need to unpack a box.

Another fast forward to last weekend. I log in and, amongst my non-capped IMs I receive a handful of Halloween group gifts, but I don't pay much attention to them. Later, Keris reminds me we're going to a party next Saturday, and says he'd like a costume, so we go over to the old places we still remember, back from the good old shopping spree days. He gets his costume, and then I get the itch. I want a Halloween costume, too! So, I decide to unpack those mysterious boxes I've received... we go over to Sam's land... Bingo! The dress, the shoes, the hair... it all fits! And then... oops, Sam just logged in, and we're squatting at her place... in Halloween costumes! Being the good sport that she is, she didn't mind at all. She just sat with us, and suddenly decided to show us her own amazing Halloween outfit. And then it struck me: we could take a Halloween group photo! Easier said than done, but with this team, who let me boss around quite a good deal, done is easy-peasy too. I bossed around because I was the accidental photographer, and here is the result:

*Fence with poses by GLITTERATI*

Is how ges·tic·u·late (j-stky-lt) is defined, a fitting name for Elusyve Jewell and Gidge Uriza's newish pose shop. Now that they have taken a store at Copley Square, I hied myself across the sim and ended up buying the !GE!

Happy 7th Rezday to Caroline Apollo!

It's jeweler Caroline Apollo's SEVENTH RezDay! Now if prims could talk -- there's SL history for you ;) I know I acquired my first jewelry from there early in my SL career. I've only met Caroline a couple of times, but she has *always* been very kind and pleasant.

In honor of her RezDay I am wearing her new Seasons - Fall Flowers Set, which I purchased at the recent jewelry fair.

To complement the colors in the necklace and earrings I decided on an ICING dress, the Azalea Sunset.

Bat Magic

Nicky has had a flurry of releases in the past two weeks. One of which has been the DNR Sexy Bat Magic Set, with salsa dress, teddy and bat wings.

Before I wax lyrical about the clothes I have to say that the latest release from Alienbear Gupte is a dream. The Bloody Queen Rohesia set includes a tiara, necklace, earrings and ring. All beautifully crafted and designed just for Halloween. The detail and colour are stupendous, please see the first shot, and as can be seen in shots 2 and 3 match Nicky Rees new design perfectly.

Talking of which…The Sexy Bat Magic Salsa dress is sexy, stunning and beautifully detailed. The tulip bodice is crafted with bats and the skirt, two prim piece is so realistic that it jumps out at you. The folds and sheen are superb, thanks to that all famous hand drawn textures. The skirt is even topped by a tiny 3-D bat…cute! All this and the addition of matching bat wings. Just right for any upcoming Halloween parties.

Also included is the teddy which would set any dark beings pulse racing. In the last shot I am wearing the group special offer, the Bat Magic Teddy in orange. Just 50L$ until the 31st Oct. 2010.

I am so looking forward to Halloween with plenty of choice of fashion, clothes and costumes available at Nicky Rees.
