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].

Thursday Mix n Match

Adam n Eve, Maitreya, MichaMi, Primagine, GEEZ, DCNY.

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.

A Monday Mashup

Milla Michinaga of MichaMi and Anessa Stine of DCNY both make sophisticated casual clothes. Milla is a bit more city and Anessa a tad more relaxed, but the clothes of these two fine creators are both chic and sexy.

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 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 BANANA MANIA

I always seems to be one food group behind *sighs* OK here's Banana Mania. I admit I used lighting to come close. Can you wait for Asparagus?

Wearing:
Adam n Eve Taylor Natural in Gold
elikatire Details in Red 05
W&B Georgie Tapered Trousers in Fallow
W&B Hykova Buttoned Tank in Cream
Shiny Things Charlottes in Gold

MichaMi Ebba Scarf in White (tinted)

52 PALE BLUE

Well this is embarrassing! I turn out to be wearing the same skirt as I did for 52 Blue. In fact I don't have much blue in my inventory. The skirt is from Michami's ShiftDress in LightBlue, probably still available on the marketplace. The top is a sweet one from *+*JILL*+* called FT Blue.

Other Details:
Adam n Eve Taylor Natural Tone in Blush
**Dura Hair** Help Japan-Blonde (tinted)
G Field-Ribbon Slingback Shoes-Sky Blue
(luc) Fashion Jewelry Maya II Bracelet & Earrings in Bluestone

New Sweater from Ivalde

I grabbed two of Ivalde's new Laida sweaters during the 24 hr 50% period, but it's a steal at the full price of L$80. The texture is both retro and sexy with the kind of detailing one expects from Ivalde. The best part is the primmy bit on the sweater at the bottom. I only had to move it down a little to have it work perfectly, even while moving. You'll need more than one of these!

Other Details:
Aurora Hair 01
Adam & Eve Taylor Gold Natural
MichaMi Laila pants in green
Shiny Things Plainers in Green
Lyra Muse, Poema necklace [NA]

52 Indigo Times 2

Fury is away most of this week so she's asked me to blog for both of us:) Now Indigo is tricky. I've always thought of it as a very dark blue-violet or equally dark blue-green, verging on what might be called "inky." An inventory search coughed up very little labeled "indigo." But we both had MichaMi's Tori dress in INDIGO. So we decided that was it!


In additional to the very wonderful MichaMi dress, Fury isn't wearing much else. But here's what she is wearing. [Maybe she'll teach me how to do shadows soon....]

SLink Jolie Pied Barefeet Tiptoes
[PXL] Candy NAT CE PaleLips DEB
(Miriel) Eyes - Late Sunset (Big) [NA]
TRUTH


In addition to the dress I am wearing the Tights-Semi Sheer in Indigo along with Shiny Things party Pumps in Purple. My necklace is from Frippery -- the Ocean Lullabye one being sold at the Extend a Helping Hand event running through Feb. 8. Hair is Grazia in Copper from Truth and my skin is Adam & Eve's Taylor in Blush Natural. Poses are from *Glitterati*.

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

New Stuffs!

After a hectic Fall I've poked my pixel head above the waterline and lo and behold NEWNESS!

First up is NYC Shirt Dress which is new from the hands of sachi Vixen of Adam & Eve. As you can see I'm wearing it as a shirt;) It has a lovely stand-up collar and puffy sleeves and comes in other yummy colors as well. (This is lemon) My skin is also A&E's Taylor Natural Gold. Jeans are the highwaisted ones from Narwhal, hair is my fave from eha. Jewelry is the Carollin set from (luc) Fashion Jewelry. Poses from /GEEZ/. Background is the view from the Empire State building taken by a young friend of ours.


Everyone was raving about "mon tissu" the brainchild of well-known and respected designers, Emma Gilmour and Julliette Westerberg. Took me a while to get there, but folks were right. This is very beautifully done work at a fair price. I'm wearing the Joli beaded top in brown. And right here I have to say that the textures are amazing and that the sculpted prim skirt thingy is the best I've seen for wearability and matching.

I'm also wearing the MichaMi Laila trousers in Coffee AND my One Eleven indulgence, The Wanderer shoes in Brown Sugar from Ingenue. And, while digging through my mess of an inventory for jewelry I came across "Louhi" by Tekeli-li, which is usefully color-change.

Hair is from the, alas, defunct Amrita store. I saw it first on Cajsa Lillehook, who is very sick right now. So a shout-out to her to get well soon so I can get more ideas from your blog:) Poses are from Gesticulate. Skin is A&E's Taylor, again, in Natural Blush.

One Eleven, 1 Eleven, One 11

Anyway you spell it, it's EXPENSIVE. And tbh most of it isn't to my style or worth the price. My first two "nabs" are though, I think. elikatira's Season hair and the Ingenue Wander shoes.


My skin is Adam n Eve's new Taylor. It's another smash hit, and not at limited edition prices. Clothing is MichaMi & Narwhal. Poses by /GEEZ/

Is how ges·tic·u·late (j-stky-lt) is defined, a fitting name for Elusyve Jewell and Gidge Uriza's newish pose shop. Now that they have taken a store at Copley Square, I hied myself across the sim and ended up buying the !GE! Mif 1-5 pose pack, of which 4 are pictured:) I love the happy quirkiness and the fact that they work well from several angles.

Most of what I'm wearing is either only available on SL Marketplace or not at all:

MichaMi: Glitter Tube & Leggings in Purple [Marketplace]
Lyra Muse: Vanessa shoes in Gunmetal [NA]
Soda Designs Custom Skin
FuseMelon: City Life hair in Red Spice
AlaMood: Infinity necklace and Simplicity earrings
