These Boots were made for Walking...

OK, so I haven’t been too impressed by mesh clothing items so far. Mainly because I like my shape and hate adjusting it for anything. Can you imagine how many shapes you are going to need if you have a variety of mesh items? Either that or you spend time every clothes change adjusting your shape. No thanks, not for me at the moment.

So, I can hear you ask, why am I blogging a mesh item? Well, when I finally got round to visiting Slink again and saw their new mesh Tall Leather Thigh Boots I just had to try the demo. On trying the boots on and settling on curvy fit (me, curvy? Omg!) I then returned and purchased the silver ones. They were just a 'must have'. The textures are brilliant, the choice of tall or taller boots divine and the no losing bits of leg when crossing legs a joy, care of mesh.

To show off these sex on heels I chose Nyte'N'Day Stringy Bikini. It has quite a retro feel to it that just matched the boots perfectly, with a 3 strings theme on both bikini bits.

Then I decided that I was too pale to show off both these gorgeous pieces at their best, so I swapped my skin for one of PXL’s Efe skins.

The hair I knew straight away was going to be *X*plosion Hair*s Kayli as the headband allows both colour and shininess changes. So white on high shine became silver.

Then I added [glow]’s NoRound Earrings from a past TDR.

I did walk around inworld a little like this; it felt amazing like I was another avatar. It was great fun.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Khaki

Khaki…it’s not green and it’s not brown. I love this colour but could I find anything of it in my inventory…well, not actual khaki itself but items named khaki…might as well go with the flow.

*COCO*s Tank Top in khaki is actually a favourite of mine so was a surprise to find it labelled as khaki. Anyway, a simple system vest that’s a classic design.

I teamed it with *COCO*s open denim jeans and Slinks bare feet for that casual chilled look.

The hair and the pose came as one in 69’s Model Hair 01.

The rest is listed below.

PS. I was very close to blogging my rl tabby cat as he has that khaki colour down to a tee.

52 KHAKI

WOOT! I'm actually posting this in the right week. *waits for everyone to pass out*

A search for Khaki didn't reveal much, but eventually I settled on the Chifone dress in Khaki, a gift from oyakin. I have to say that I am enamoured of the fluffy skirt. The "jools" are new, from Dark Mouse. They are called Dreaming of Camelot and the stones are colour-change. This "colour" is some sort of pale green that works well.

Hair is from elikatira, Details in White 05. And I am still wearing Liane from Adam n Eve with the Pinkade eyeshadow.

Poses are from /GEEZ/

52 BRONZE

Bet you thought I had forgotten BRONZE. Newp! Here she is:) And yet another near nekkie blog post from us.

The details are short and sweet. The undies are the Bronze set from Chic Boutique, a store long gone:( [NA] The rest is Lamb's Opal in Carrot, Adam n Eve's Liane with Pinkade eyeshadow [R], and poses from GEEZ [R].

Purdy Flowers

I don’t often buy or wear tattoos. However, when I saw Pekkas Blossom Passion tattoo I knew I had to have it.

It trails along ones torso in a fall of flowers. In this shot I am showing the coloured version but it also comes in good old fashioned plain ink. The blossoms start just below the bustline, cupping the left breast, then trail down ones side, over the hip and down the thigh. A pretty loose petal falls away from the main branch midway down ones torso. Just too pretty not to have.

There is one major personal dislike though…what is with the ugly characters that sit just in the centre of the collarbone? Are they a signature? A logo? Why not tuck into the tattoo so it doesn’t ruin the wearing of it? Unless I get a skin patch to cover this character intrusion then I probably won’t be wearing this tattoo out and about…shame really.

52 FIRE BRICK and 52 BRICK RED

Arrrgh...behind again:) Fire Brick took a bit of a search, but Brick Red fell into my lap thanks to the new Paper couture collection.


FIRE BRICK started with the top of the Lune Chic Sweater Dress from MG Fashion in brick and continued with MichaMi's cropped and slouchy pants in black [R] and Naith Smit's Rock'n'Rolla Uggs [NA] Other items are elikatira Details in White 03 and sachi's beautiful Liane Natural with Pinkade eyeshadow from Adam n Eve [R] Picture was taken at the wonderful Mother Road sim.


BRICK RED was mine with the new Dark Rain gown from Paper Couture. Hair is Truth's Eden in Copper. Still wearing Liane from sachi [R] . Jewelry is new from MOOD; the Cae earrings and the Parade Pearl Statement Ring [R] .

Poses are the female blogger ones from [LAP]

Hopefully that's it for BRICK.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Red Brick

Red Brick… cool colour

After a quick look through my inventory I decided to show something that I can’t remember where it was from nor if the creator still exists. Naughty I know. The NJ***Lust is a pretty set of semi-lace undies that are both sexy and elegant. For such ancient pieces, for I bought them in my first 6months inworld, they still look as good today as they did back then.

The rest is listed below.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Bronze

Bronze...such a pretty colour and so little of it in my inventory.

In the end, as this a quickie, I settled for something I have blogged before a Rebel Surfs bikini. This one I was more bronze than orange so I thought qualified for the challenge.

Details are below.

Ingrid



Nicky Rees latest release, the DNR Ingrid Collection, contains stunning dresses. Above I am wearing the DNR Satin Lace Gown V2 in white. A simple, lace covered tulip corset sits atop a svelte skirt with train that has a lace over skirt. Gloves are included with this gown. Beautiful in both design and textures I think this is a must for any formal wardrobe.

Not shown is the DNR Ingrid Bridal Lace Gown V1 which is of the same material but with small differences in design. The corset top for this dress has a lace over top that elegantly clads the shoulders and arms in delicate lace. This gown includes 2 types of skirt...a svelte with train and a grand ballgown skirt...keeping any bride happy. Also included is a short veil made of the same lace as the overlayinglace of the gown. Demure and elegant I think it is a truly stunning bridal gown.

For the next couple of days the DNR Ingrid Satin Lace Gown V2 and the DNR Ingrid Bridal Lace Gown V1 are on group offer with 20% off the normal retail price. Both gowns are absolute head turners, so remember to put your group tag on and pop over to take advantage.

I haven't been taking these dresses off which just shows how much I love them.

52 LIVER (and Onions)

Man I had problems with this until I got the ideal of Liver & Onions and found this photo gathering dust on my hard drive. So here we go! LIVER & Onions. To confess, I took this for the long ago inventory challenge and *coughs* well you know the story.

Soooooo.
skirt from Whippet&Buck
shirt from Coco
skin from Fleur [NA]
earrings from Alienbear
hair from Truth
shoes... not a clue!

52 Week Colour Challenge, Firebrick

Firebrick…lovely colour but tricky.

I finally settled on the complete outfit from Sparkle Skye Designs. The Harvest Fae has just the right colour in the skirt for this challenge. A stunning gown with flowers on chest and waist plus a full ball gown skirt makes for a wonderful formal if nothing else. The head wreath, cuffs, wand and fantastic wings are like icing on the cake…making this intoa beautiful gown for any Autumn Fae.

The rest is listed below.

52 JAZZBERRY & 52 CHARTREUSE

Late again:( So here are both JAZZBERRY and CHARTREUSE.

For Jazzberry the centerpiece are the Thread Leaf Wings from Seven's Selection in Magenta. Other clothing items are the corset from Ivalde's stephani dress also in Magenta [R] and the Sunny Leggings in Magenta from Prelude. [NA-I think]. Hair is Exile's Glory in Cayenne/Roots. Skin is Liane-Natural with Pinkade Eyeshadow from Adam n Eve.



The only two items in my inventory labeled as "chartreuse" are these two. The dress in an old one from Celestial Studios, the Phoenix Sweater Dress. [NA] I remember IMing Starley and thanking her for the system skirt. The belt has been a useful one for me. The lace-trimmedcami and leggings came with the dress. The shoes are from Ingenue called Tallula. Skin is PXL Creations' Gaia with copper lips. Hair is, again, Exile's Glory in Cayenne/Roots.

All poses are from /GEEZ/ [R]

52 Week Colour Challenge, Liver

Liver...my least favourite food type…lol.

Again I knew what I wanted to blog for this colour. Another oldie…{Gisaci}Little Mary dress is not the most fashionable of dresses but does have the artsy twist to it. A tight, sleeveless bodice sits atop a short ‘A’ line skirt. This dress creeps out of my inventory every so often.

I wanted to keep the arty feel to it so kept my hair short and sported a pair of ballet pumps.

All is listed below.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Chartreuse

Chartreuse…such a pretty colour.

I definitely knew what I wanted to show you all for this colour…and again it’s an oldie. In fact it is one of my oldest cocktail dresses I own and I have almost forgotten who designed it. Shyone and Dulce were the forerunner to Dulce I believe. This very pretty, flighty dress has seen a few events in its time. The deep ‘V’ neckline system top sits above a pretty flouncy skirt of net, with a pretty net flower at the waistband. I adore this dress and, although time is showing on it a little bit, I still think it can hold its own.

I kept things simple to show off the dress…so the rest is listed below.

Sorry, short and sweet again.
