Hatched!

This outfit started with the new Tres Blah Relaxed Kimono in "Hatched," one of the newest goodies from the nimble pixels of Juliette Westerberg. After a bit of fitting, the draped sections worked wonderfully. And the flower pattern on the "hatched" background is very Japanese.

To show off the lovely pattern and drape of "Hatched" I headed for some favorites of mine: the soft scoop tank in Midnight from DCNY [R], the Laila pants in Navy from MichaMi [R] and the old ETD Heel Strap Platforms in Navy [NA]. Jewels are the Prato set from MOOD. Hair is Ana in Copper from Truth and my skin is the new Adam n Eve Adriane in Natural Lemongrass. Poses are from /GEEZ/[R].

52 CELADON and LEMON

OK ok--how else was I going to catch up? The only thing really new is the decked tank from Nyte'n'Day in Lemon. The rest was in inventory since... ummmmmm...

BOOM Bloom

Ok, so I jumped on the Bloom Doll bandwagon. Even worse is that I am so slow at blogging it…lol.

After wearing my new Bloom Doll, by Sand Shack Surf Co., I suddenly realised I had the perfect outfit waiting for me to blog ( and yes, this too is late). Aranel Ah dropped me a bloggers pack which I decided to wear with this new purchase. The pack consisted of ‘A Day on a Yacht’ sailor dress, Deck shoes, a Sailor cap and a Lynx Skinny Belt. OMG so cute!! Everything is well made with excellent textures. The design is just perfect.

Wearing this sailor outfit with the Bloom Doll…overkill on cuteness…lol

The only thing left was the hair and, although no longer available, I knew that one of the ETD hairs tweaked would be ideal.

So…there you have it…a BOOM Bloom!

52 PINK

When I heard that this week was PINK I knew exactly what to wear:) As my friends know I am a part-time furrie, thanks to my late sweet pink fox friend, Artistic Fimicoloud. It took me a while, but I finally found my "inner critter" in the Cheetah. I have this avatar by Cheetah Kitty in several colors, but during Relay for Life of Second Life season [now underway] you can often find me in this pink one. She's particularly good on the relay track as she runs on all fours and leaves a puff of dust in her wake. So clear the track, cheetah sam is baaaaaaack...

Anyway... PINK it is and I'm not wearing much else.

ta ta Tangerine

Tangerine has also been lurking in my "to blog" folder, specifically the Prudence Cardigan from Mon Tissu. Here I've paired it with MichaMi bottoms, Dark Mouse jewels and Adam n Eve skins to produce 2 different looks. The primmy parts on the sweater work really well, in particular the retro padded shoulders. I'm wearing MichaMi's newish Suede Skirt in Brown, the Bohemian Flare Necklace and Bank's Closed Earrings from Dark Mouse as well as Adam n Eve's new Paige in Natural. [R] Candy Clogs in Copper from Shiny Things finish off the feet:) Hair is elikatira's Details in Red 05.


Here's an earlier image from about the time the Prudence Cardigan came out. In this case I'm wearing MichaMi's Laila pants in Black along with ETD's Heel Strap Platforms [NA]. My jewelry is again Dark Mouse's Obsidian, which also has a nice retro feel to it. Hair is from Amrita [NA] a style I found on Cajsa's blog eons ago. My skin is Adam n Eve Taylor in Natural.

So ta ta Tangerine!

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, Sky Blue

Sky Blue…this weeks challenge colour. I do have quite a bit of blue in my ‘wardrobe’ and I knew exactly what I wanted to share with you all.

Baiastice Silk hug dress in sky is just perfect for this week. Ideal for that desperate housewife who loves to shop or the power dressing business lady who likes to stay feminine. An under lace vest is overlaid with wide ‘straps’ that covers the bust...see picture. A wide wrap around ‘cummerband’ style, sashed waist starts from beneath the bust and finishes just on the hip. Below this sits a system skirt. The design and textures make this dress a delight to wear.

The rest is my usual except for the addition of make up, Kyoot’s Feline (Cold Coast) make up accentuates the dress with blue eyeshadow.

Styling:

Shape: custom, FuriousDesigns
Skin: [PXL] Candy NAT CE PaleLips DEB
Hair: ETD Roslin - Black
Eyes: (Miriel)- Snow (Big)
Eyelashes: Cake, Seperated lashes, tintable
Dress: Baiastice_Silk hug-sky
Shoes: Juicy Classic Pump - Cotton Candy
Make Up: Kyoot Makeup - Feline (Cold Coast)

52 UMBER

Alternate post titles: LumberING along [because I'm behind] or Taking umbRAGE [because I'm behind].

Better late than never! I realize my "umber" is verging towards sienna, but this is what there is:)

Details:
Aurora 01 Hair tinted
Tuli TDR LE Gina 01
Celestial City eyes - Mirror Brown
Primagine Cascade Gold & Wood set
Shiny Things-Charlotte in Chocolate
ETD Scoop-neck shirt-orange

Latex Lady

I'm not normally a fan of latex body suits, but when sachi Vixen dropped her latest on me my defenses melted. This is sexy yes, but it's also lady-like latex, if there is such a thing. Maybe it's the flowers, hence its name, Florette, or maybe it's the classy shine or the elegant neckline. Who knows? But I was smitten. sachi's latex collection is available at Adam & Eve's mainstore on Genesis. Go slink into some.

In the middle image I added the Comfort Skirt from Pixel Dolls.

Other items worn are:
Adam n Eve Skins - Taylor - Natural Tone - Blush - with Bewbs
**Dura** Help Japan!(Blonde)-Tinted
(PixelDolls) Comfort: PrimSkirt Black
ETD Heel Strap Platforms (Black) [NA]
$GaNKeD$ Suri Earrings in Yin Yang

52 Teal

Again I'm recycling, this time to say how much I miss the designer, Samsara Nishi. For TEAL here is her Escaping from Pirates dress made for RFL 2009. Here's a link to the original post.

Katharina

Nicky Ree’s latest releases are so, so pretty and stunning and sexy…lol. (read breathless)Both a gown and lingerie sets have been released, the DNR Katharina Gown and the DNR Katharina Lingerie Chemis.

The gown, including retro style corset lingerie, is a beautiful, tulip, spaghetti string top, with flower embroidery bust, sitting atop an open fronted, net skirt, also embroidered with flowers, with train. The whole dress screams class and sexy.

The chemise lingerie follows the same pattern as the gown but this time a simple, sheer body lies beneath the empire style skirt. When these components are combined a luxurious babydoll nightie appears.

Astounding design and hand drawn textures yet again show off Nickys talent for producing high quality clothes which have style and sex appeal.

At the moment, until the 28th February, both the DNR Katharina Gown and DNR Katharina Lingerie Chemis in black are on group discount. If you are a goup memner then hop over to the main store and take advantage of these offers.

NEW at L'Abel

Neferia Abel of Ivalde and the couture label, L'Abel has recently released a large group of lovely newness from L'Abel. First up is the elegant black dress, Orianna. [R] Its ruffles are beautifully done, fit well and make a very chic statement. With Orianna I am wearing...

Hair: aurora hair 01
Skin: Adam & Eve Taylor Natural Blush
Jools: Dark Mouse Obsidian Eye
Shews: Maitreya Gold Ixkin in Pearl


Second is a more casual option, the Adria top [R] and the Daija cord pants. [R] Both come in many colors. I love the lace on the top and the zippers on the pants.

Hair: elikatira Later Red 05
Skin: Adam & Eve Taylor Natural Blush
Jools: *MM* Feather Pendant Necklace & Earrings Set [NA]
Shews: ETD Heel Strap Platforms [NA]

52 TAUPE aka Sam Cheats

I confess. This pictures has been on my flicker for eons waiting to be blogged. It's Julie by Last Call [NA] and it's one of my earliest full price purchases from LC back when. We could also call this "the old quad post" as my skin is from Celestial Studios, Vogue Winter 2 in Champagne and my shoes and hair are from ETD. Julie is an outfit that I wear often, with the slouchy leg option.

Details:
Outfit: Last Call Julie [NA]
Skin: Celestial Studios, Vogue Winter 2 in Champagne
Hair: ETD Camille in Blonde [NA]
Shoes: ETD Heel Strap Platform in Black [NA]
Earrings: Morantique [old gift]
Bracelet: Primagine [NA]
Poses: /GEEZ/ [R]

As I look at the credits this post could also qualify for achariya's Inventory Challenge, except that the skin is still available.

One Good Shot Deserves Another!

This whole post began with the Vermont Sweater from the wonderful new men's brand, VanGuard who have a branch store on Copley Square. I am wearing it in Clay. The other colors for this sweater are equally as subtle. The primmy parts come with a resize script that works very well. I paired them with the no longer available ETD Silver Jeans.


I kept the boots, skin and hair from above [see below], but changed into MichaMi's very sophisticated Kat Dress in Golden Brown. Milla's textures are superb and this dress is no exception. It has both sculpted and system skirts, the latter at my request and which I am wearing. My leggings are Maisie in Cream, also from MichaMi. Jewelry is from FuseMelon, the Forget Me Knot Pearl Two Tone set.

Worn in both pictures:
Boots: Elikatira Secret Boots in Dune
Hair: ETD Aveda Short Crop in Sienna
Skin: Adam & Eve Taylor in Smoke Natural

52 SIENNA

Ah Sienna--a wonderful reddish-brown earthy tone for redheads. I'm happy :)

A search on sienna in my inventory didn't reveal much, but I managed by sneaking in a little more reddish brown. I started with an older Simone Cuddly Sweater in Sienna [NA]. My belt is also an older Shiny Things Pouch Belt in "Reddish." Looked like sienna to me ;) Hair is an old ETD Aveda style called Short-Crop in Sienna, alas [NA]. My trousers are from Last Call's Magdalena pants suit in Red [NA]. Boots are from Pixel Mode called Rhea, also in Red. I'm wearing an Infinity Skin aka *blowpop* -- Carmen in Raw Sienna. [NA]

Otherwise:
earrings from GANKED
poses from Gesticulate

52 Green (which it's easy to be!)

Unlike Kermit, as a SL redhead, "being green" is easy for me. Doing a search on "green" would bring up half my inventory. So, for this 52 Challenge I actually bought something new. Well Neferia Abel made it easy [there's a theme here...] by putting her new dress, Joanie, which just happened to come in green, on sale that week! The velvet texture as well as the butterfly belt, little butterflies on the sleeve and the beautifully fitted blouse make for a perfect green. My earrting are actually shamrocks from GANKED, but they looked enough like butterflies to get the nod.

Other details:
shoes: ETD's D'Orsay in Random Green [NA]
gloves: Fleur's leather gloves, mid-length in Emerald. [about to be NA]
hair: elikatira's Rumor in Red05
skin: PXL Creations Natural,cateye/passion--not sure which skin. [R]
poses: /GEEZ/ [R]

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.

Other:
Hair: *eha~ Yuki Light Red
Skin: Adam n Eve Taylor Blush makeup in Natural

Thank you again, Luna Jubilee for the fun:)

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]
