52 Week Colour Challenge, Alice Blue

Alice Blue...not as dark as I would have thought.

Being a blue kinda gal you would think I would have a shed loads of this blue...wrong! So after a search and try on session I decided to show a Nicky Ree creation. The DNR Beautiful Galatea in silver teal is something out of fairy tales. It conjures up Tales of 1001 Arabian Nights and Sinbad. Beautifully designed and textured this piece speaks for itself. It even comes with hair accessories.

To compliment this piece I chose a PXL skin with Kyoot and Fishy Strawberry make ups. After some thought I chose a LeLutka hair and of course I had to go SLink barefoot.

The location was a wonderful build with a club and a harbour side souk. Please go explore for yourself this great little gem.

Be Mine:)

Well this WAS supposed to be my Valentine's post, but it seems to be destined for later:)

I'm wearings Maitreya Mesh -- the Athena sweater in beige and the Leather Leggings in oil. From the past is the wonderful Whippet & Buck Repairs necklace in Onyx and silver. Shoes are the new mesh Gatsbys from Ingenue. Skin is an unreleased skin from A&E. Hair is from Clawtooth, called Be my Girl, indirectly the source of the post title.

It's never to late to tell the ones you love how much you care.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Patina

Patina....never heard of it but quite like the colour.

I was totally uninspired though and if it were not for a certain inworld artist I would have stayed that way. I saw her work on Flickr and contacted her. Patricia answered immediately with the information I wanted. Thank you! If you follow my flickr link you will find a link to her work and what inspired me.

So, once inspired I went shopping...and had a vague deja vu moment in A.S.S. I remember collecting a gift there on a hunt and my memory served me well. Up popped the Noctis Bolero - peacock from A.S.S, just the right colour I believe. Its feather texturing is quite beautiful and very flambouyant. I shall find more occasions to wear it.

To make the bolero stand out I am wearing Crazys Sence overalls in black: A wonderfully textured bodysuit. My Bax boots had to go with the bodysuit, tinted entirely black...ideal.

Now just the skin, hair and eyes. The skin was my usual PXL Creations Candy skin. the hair is BP's Big Bomb 1 hair...for that funky look....and the eyes, my usual, are Miriels.

It needed something else...hmmm. I remember a fair, a few years back, that had ground breaking make up available on tattoo layers. The Little Bat had a small selection there and I picked up the Lilac & Teal tattoo. Perfect for that funky disco look.

The location was Momento Mori at Chouchou

Right! Where's the nearest disco???

Today's the Day!

The Home & Garden Valentine's Hunt celebrating the opening of New Frontier Homes runs from 9am SLT to 9pm SLT TODAY ONLY on Triskelion Shores!

I already blogged some of the goodies, but I wanted to show you the amazing White Sail Condo from by DeZyne Home Sales. It's 91 prims of high end modern design. It includes an amazing bathroom area with sink and dripping faucet! The textures are super and it's copy/mod. So look out for this one during the hunt. It's a real winner!

Home & Garden Valentine's Hunt

The Home & Garden Valentine's Hunt sponsored by New Frontier Homes is a one day only event being held this Saturday. I was fortunate enough to have been give early access to the goodies. And good they are! Watch for additional information soon!


I'm showing 3 of the goodies that will be available for this hunt on the Triskelion Shores sim. The chairs are the Low Rider Slouchy Chair from HomeKraft and come with several animations. The quirky angles remind me a bit of M.C. Escher, yet they are very comfortable! The bare branch tree behind the chairs is Awakening Love from Kaligawa Originals. In the shape of a heart, it includes a beautiful working wind chime. I'm assuming the little green shoots at the bottom of the twisted trunk are what's "awakening" ;) Finally the picture on the wall is Marmalade Jam's Valentine Art Print and Letter. It's resizable and comes with a nail and a shadow. What more could you ask? The rug underneath is also by HomeKraft, but not part of the hunt.

There are many more items to find including a small house, a movie projector and many more...

52 Week Colour Challenge, Iron

Iron...hmm, intresting concept.

After a rummage through my inventory I came across CoL's Sunday dress in grey. A strapless, floaty skirted dress that is very pretty in texture and design.

I matched it to Truth hair that I bought this morning and a Glam Affair gift skin from a while back, I think, that kept the look pure and simple. N-Core shoes, tinted using the HUD, finished the look.

The location was Fotoscope. An amazing place just full of props and poses for the inworld photographer.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Electric Indigo

Electric Indigo...I admit to not having very much in that colour so I went shopping.

I ended up at Cracked Mirrors mainstore and having had a quick look around decided on the Mercy Blouse in purple. It's simple but well made and shows quite a bit of flesh. I deal with jeans, leggings or a skirt; it's a versatile piece to have in any inventory.

I shot this in a hurry so failed to note any of the other items...sorry.
