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 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.

shoes... not a clue!

Chilled

It’s not often that I feel like wearing jeans inworld, so when I caught myself looking for jeans I decided to blog my outfit.

The jeans I chose were COCO’s and, finding myself totally wanting to slob out, I reached for her Loose Style Denims. These jeans have the button, the zip and the belt undone…lol. They come with undies or without, so you can show off your prettiest knickers, which at the moment are Blacklaces Angelic set. Textures and attachments are supreme. I admit they are my favourite inworld jeans.

To keep my usual, simple look I chose COCO’s Tank top, a simple vest in white. I also teamed these items up with HOC Sneakers, colour changed to black.

Barely there make up from PXL, Miriel eyes and a short hair by eha made for a relaxed, chilled Fury.

And, because I ended up on a snow sim I added DeLa’s Shearling coat. A warm cosy sheepskin for a brisk winter day.

The Wedding Guest that Never Was.

I was invited to a good friends wedding and through a major blonde moment on my behalf totally missed it as I got the time wrong…pesky time zones in RL.

If I had have gone this is what I had decided to wear…COCO’s elegant Tulip Hem Dress in beige. A wonderfully designed dress combining system clothes and sculpty bits. A black and white striped under layer of a simple short tube dress on system layers is over layed with a sculpted tube bustier and a tulip hemmed, black bowed sculpty skirt in beige.

I had to wear a hat of course so dug out ML’s Roma Chapeau from my inventory. LeLutka’s Claire clutch and N-Cores Temptation Xtreme Heels completed the major factors of the look.

Jewellry was the FM Forget Me Knot Pearl set with Zaara’s Kashiti bobble ring to finish.

Skin was PXL Creations new Candy skin with an old ETD hair, Roslin, which was modified to fit under the hat.

This look is very similar to one I would wear as a wedding guest in RL, so I was very happy with the outcome.

I’d like to wish Gitanne and Drake all the happiness in the world…congratulations!

Rock and fall

(comes out from under her hiding rock and notices the temperature)
Oh wow... it's not summer any more! Not even in Spain! How on Earth did that happen? Must be global warming. Right, so I'd better save that bikini blog post for next year (Ha! yet again) and show something more appropriate for the season...
(rummages through inventory)

Yes, that's much more like it. The central piece of the outfit is the DuffelCoat in beige from Aoharu, truly primlicious in terms of detail. It includes not only a prim hood and prim buttons, but the lower part is also sculpted and it has pockets! Pockets! I think I'm not taking it off until spring. I had a bit of a conundrum as to what to pair it with, but freebies came my way to make my life easier: the black turtleneck sweater is a group gift from *COCO* (one of many, well worth sacrificing a slot to grab the whole lot from the gift wall at the main store), and I found the scarf, also free, almost accidentally while browsing XStreet. It's from a place called Edge Grafica (totally unknown to me, but hey, I live under a rock) and it's copy/mod, so it lends itself for nice adjusting (I removed the back flexi prims so they wouldn't interfere with the hood). And I totally dig the safety pin.

In keeping with the theme, I rescued the Destroyed Wash jeans from Celestial Studios, an old classic of mine, paired with with the Unisex Classic Moccas from Armidi Gisaci (I read Milla's blog from under my rock, thank goodness for that, and thank goodness she's back or I'd be barefoot). The hair is (still) Fri.day's Cassie in jealous red, the skin is (still) Tuli's Hope in Onyx (the september picks reward), the Muted Hazel eyes and the Natural lashes are (still) Miriel's, and the poses are (still) from [LAP]. Some things never change.

Ah yes, the Tigers Eye earrings (which you can't really see, but I swear they were there the last time I looked) are from the RH Engel Jewelry Sahara collection.

Pink and punk... with a hint of Asian!

I haven't done a proper "freebie post" for a while, and it's about time. But this one's about freebies of a special kind, meaning you can't just go grab them at the stores - they need some extra work.

First of all, the dress... oh the dress. When Miko Omegamu of *Icing* released Chinoiserie, I was in sighs at its gorgeousness, but then I was a bit disappointed that it would only be available in red - since a flame red dress on my redheadedness would be, I think, redness overload. However, hope sprung in my heart when I saw this newer release, Imperial Blossom, a more casual redux of the first one. The version I'm wearing for the pics is the special edition available through Miko's lucky chair - although, of course, those who are not terribly into waiting for their letter to come up (or into pink) can just hop over to the vendor and buy it, as it can be purchased normally, too.

When I tried it on, however, I knew I was in danger of doing girly or über-cute... and since sometimes I prefer to go the hard way, I decided right away that some black leather would be the ideal way of accessorising pink silk - so I rescued my much-used ETD Leather Ring Wristband. But... (Recurring dilemma!) What about the shoes? Oh yes! Perfect! Just last month was the Creators Stamp Rally, in which I participated and got a few nice gifts. I hadn't put my rewards to good use yet, among them the *COCO* Ankle Wrap Wedges, so I tried them on and... voilà, just the desired effect!

Continuing with the Asian theme of the dress and of the CSR hunt, I chose a slightly messy bun on my hair, Cassie in Jealous Red from the Fri.day sale (but - argh - I forgot to add a couple of chopsticks). Tuli had of course included the perfect makeup for this colour combo in the Hope fatpack - it's called Avenue, with a subtle green eyeshadow and glossy pink lips. I can't get enough of these skins. The eyes (in the exact shade of the eyeshadow) are Miriel's Strong Green, with Glamour lashes.

Poses, as per usual, are Long Awkward Pose's - much to my disappointment, I couldn't make it to the Poop Hunt this year, but I hope those of you who went got bucketloads of shite.
