52 PERIWINKLE

After having used the same skirt twice in service of 2 blue posts I was tearing out my pixel hair by the roots, until Anessa Stine of DCNY dropped her new Linen Tunic on me and the color included "Sky". PHEW! The primmy bits edited easily and voilà, "periwinkle." The Denim Vintage Capris I am wearing are from ETD and no longer available, but I thought the texture worked well with Anessa's tunic. Further down are the TomBoy Sneakies in Blue. I love these because they come in a tied and untied version, from long before scripts did all that work for us.

Other Important Details:
Skin: Adam n Eve Paige Natural
Hair: Tiny Bird Soon Enough II in Copper
Earrings: GANKED Michi in Silver/Blue

52 Week Colour Challenge, Pale Perriwinkle

Perriwinkle…wow, love the colour but do I have anything of that colour?


I ended up cheating, ever so slightly, as I used my seldom used alt as I knew she had a dress that would be ideal.

DCNY Gloria Dress in Ice Blue was perfect for this challenge. A mini baby doll dress where the skirt is made up of the finest feathers. Simple, yet clever.

sf’s colour change high heel shoes were all my alt had to go with this dress. Even so, I think they look really good in the darker blues.

The rest I have listed below.

52 EGGPLANT

Well I finally got my Maitreya Gold Shanti shoes in Eggplant back from that thieving Fury :) But what else to wear. Milla saved the day with MichaMi's new Print Dress, in "purple" yet, but with "eggplanty" highlights. I tucked the leggings for her Ida underneath and called it a wrap.

Other Details:
Necklace is Morgana from Tekeli-li
Skin is Adam n Eve's Taylor in Natural.
Hair is from Tiny Bird called Love Love Love.

Please get yourself to Tiny Bird *stat* as it is closing at the end of the month. We'll miss you, Autumn!

52 ASPARAGUS

I LOVE asparagus, the vegetable, but finding something that would do in my inventory was a bit tough. In the end I included all the colors of the lovely stalk. I started with the Humpday Happiness Flowery Spring Special from *_* HopScotch*_* and the Sinra Necklace in Moss Green from Mandala. The bracelet was part of an outfit from Little Town, no longer around. After rummaging through inventory history, I decided that the new MichaMi Cropped & Slouchy Pants in Green fit the bill nicely.

Other details:
Adam n Eve Astrelle Fae in Violet
Clawtooth Twinkle Toast in Blinding
Maitreya Mishima Dawn shoes in Green Leather

52 Week Colour Challenge, Eggplant

Eggplant…eggplant, eggplant….oh yes…aubergine! That wonderful rich, sometimes deep, purple.

Mimikri’s hot pants and sweater in grape were the closest I could get from my inventory. I have forgotten just how cool these clothes are. From the knit texture and satin insets of the main pieces to the frilly cuffs on the sweater and the tassels on the shorts this set is hot, hot, hot.

I teamed it with Maitreyas Gold shoes in eggplant and I was one happy bunny.

The rest is listed below.

Sneak Peek

When Sascha Frangilli of Sascha's Designs contacted me the other day I was a little suprised but then delighted when she asked me if I would like to blog some of her designs. I already have a few items, that I feel like showing in a later blog, so was happy to accept a sneak preview of her latest release.

The Izzy Collection was gifted to her group to celebrate 15,000 members. It will soon be on general release, along with mix and match items.

The collection consists of a very retro bobby socks 1950's skirt, a set of very tight, highwaisted pants and a high collared, v-necked shirt to top it all of with. I chose to show you the trousers as I felt it was more me. I love the silhouette this outfit gives me. From the neatly tucked in boots pants to the sweep of the shirt collar. I feel like I should be hunting on horseback or swashbuckling.

In addition to the plain pants there are flowered ones available in many colours. So, one can mix and match to ones heart content.

To top the outfit off I chose to wear SAS Top Hat with Feathers. The feathers are to die for, so beautiful.

My usual suspects are listed below.

New from IVALDE!

Ivalde was one of the first stores that I discovered in my almost 4 years in SL and I'm still a big fan. Neferia Abel was kind enough to drop some items on me, including this lovely, summery Katinka dress, which I am wearing in purple because it goes with my new RFL sneakers from ~Twiple Twouble~ called Relay Hope Sneaks 2011 Ribbons and available outside the store for L$100. in a RFL of SL vendor.

But the BIG news is the new build at Ivalde which will open to the public in less than 2 hours. You'll want to wear YOUR sneakers to get in and see its beauty as well as Nef's new goodies. But that's not all. The ever-generous Nef is offering us 12 ivalde/L`abel gifts in a Treasure Hunt. Well worth your time!

So get on your sneaks and get ready to enjoy:)
