52 Week Colour Challenge, Raspberry Glace

 

 

  

Raspberry Glace....like the colour but seems more like mulberry to me.

 

Anyway, quick rummage in the old inventory and I came up with an old Leezu! hunt gift. I really like it. Unusual skirt teamed with a fabulous bustle (yep, still obsessed...lol). The texturing is very clever with the choice of textile pattern. Funky, fun yet still classy.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Deep Pink & Lemon Chiffon

Deep Pink...always good fun for me as it is so not my colour. I visited the Pink Ribbon Event and purchased this Boom mesh dress. I was a litte saddened that the invisible prim was noticable above the bust line, so I succumbed and tweaked my shape so that it would disappear under the dress. Having said that it is one sexy dress. The inner panel is slimming whilst the design of the dress gives you curves. What more can a girl ask for...lol.

Lemon Chiffon...oh my! Another not so favourite colour. This time I reached for a Nicky Ree dress (the flowers have lemon chiffon in them). A slinky, sexy gown that is slit thigh high on the skirt with a peek-a-boo side torso window. A tulip bustline corset with a single strap sets off this dress wonderfully. Again, Nicky's hand drawn textures sing for themselves.

Wow! That's 6 colours in as many days...I might just catch up at this rate :)

52 Week Colour Challenge, Thistle & Pueblo

Thistle & Pueblo...the former fairly easy to do, the latter a real search for garment.

I adore the retro look so it was Artilleri that I reached for when thinking about Thistle, along with a floaty Aoharu shirt.

For Pueblo it was a long inventory search until I happened upon this Azul party dress, myabe it's a bit bright for the chosen colour but it was like rediscovering a forgotten gem.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Sea shell

Seashell...interesting colour. I dont have an awful lot of that colour in my inventory so when I came upon ELEMIAH DESIGN Beauty5 dress I was both relieved and delighted. A system dress, with the usual flap attachment that worked suprisingly well. The beauty of this dress lies in the texturing; prettylace with satin ribbon accents. Short and seethrough, this dress is not for the faint hearted.

Whilst rummaging I also happened upon fashionably late limited edition /platform stilettos that matched the dress. Simple, high heeled round toed shoes, ideal!

I also rediscovered a necklace that I had truly lost. A double looped, long affair with wonderful wooden chain work from  [MANDALA]. I thought it complimented the dress quite well.

As seashell was the colour I decided to go beach blond with TRUTH hair and simple PXL skin. I felt a real beach babe dressed like this.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Royal Purple

Royal Purple...I adore this colour.

When I knew which colour was this particular weeks challenge I dived into my inventory. However, I go distracted by a Sn@tch new release, the Bon Bon Dress. Imagine my delight as I remembered that you usually get all the colours in one purchase, well almost. The purple was in the 'dark' set of dresses but the 'pale' set appealed to me more, so what's a girl to do but get both. The Bon Bon is a strapless corset, laced at the back, top that sits above a real sweetie of a skirt. The skirt stands 'proud' at all times thanks the layers of material. Both design and texturing are genius. A versatile dress that can be both contemporary or retro....I couldn't resist going slightly baroque on the pale Bon Bon.

For the challenge, I went Tudor with a set of jewellery from Azuvah that is a little spikey. I love my SLink shoes so went with those, along with my PXL skin and Truth Tanya hair.

However, I wasnt happy with just plain make up so dug out my Kyoot eyeshadow and went and purchase a Black Liquid lipstick in royale matt (how appropriate).

For my flight of fancy Baroque moment, and as an excuse to showcase a paler clolour of the dress, I also purchased stockings from Sn@tch with floppy tops and bows. So pretty. I alos wore some baroque style shoes I picked up years ago and cannot find the creator for them. For my hair I wanted a hint of the powdered wig and chose a booN hair that hints of such. Fleur, who are no more provided the skin, Beck provided the choker, Kyoot the eyeshadow and Black Liquid the lipstick again.

52 Week Colour Challenge, Tea Green

Tea Green...a delicate, pretty colour.

I searched my inventory and came across a recentish purchase from Elate! the Eva Spring Green Dress that I thought may fit the bill. A simple short dress with fantastic texturing, bands of silver 'corset' the dress giving it interest. On top of that a recent visit to one of the Dressing Rooms meant I could ensure the right palette by purchasing glow studios - mint roses hairband accessory, an over the top bloom of incredible detail.

I decided to go blonde with Truths Madelaine hair and simple complexion with my fav PXL skin with a touch of make up from *FishyStrawberry*. My eyes are the usual Miriels and the shoes are SLinks.

The only other item is a Finesmith Xenobia ring with colour and texture change options.

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, Champagne

Champagne....such a gorgeous colour.

To begin this years challenge I have chosen one of Nicky Ree's most beautiful, classic gowns..The Lady Aurora Gown, with the svelte skirt. The texturing is divine, the lace so delicate yet heavy. The design makes this gown suitable for any occasion, from wedding to medieval ball.

The location was built and shown to me by a friend, who I don't see enough. The stunning tower has to be seen to appreciate it properly. Raven, thank you! So here are the details:

52 Week Colour Challenge, Mulberry

Mulberry...pretty colour, but still pink and still not me.

I do have it in my inventory and when I rediscovered Phoenix Risings Oda Blouse I knew it was what I wanted to blog. A pretty ruffle, 'v' necked blouse with rolled up sleeves. Beautifully crafted.

I immediately thought office and went for Maitreyas high waisted pencil skirt. To match this I knew I had to wear SLinks seriously delicious Sydney Stilettos.

The rest is listed below.

52 WENGE-ish

I had a WENGE outfit all lined up, then got sidetracked by inspecting a dress at a FLF stop and it led me to Carrie Snowpaw's store. I first ran into her work in the early days of InWorldz, but hadn't really sought her out in SL. This honey of a dress was on sale so I snapped it up. Then I realized well, it was Wenge-ish. Let me explain. Wenge is the name of a blackish & brownish African wood. Black -- check, brown --check, and the underlying pattern is a bit tigerish... so here we are!

Details:
Dress: Galiah Summer Floral in Caramel by Snowpaws
Shoes: Verve in Brown by Maitreya
Earrings: Sally by Donna Flora
Hair: Isa in Auburn by Truth
Skin: Ariadne in Lemongrass Natural from Adam n Eve
Poses: STaTus

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 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 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

shoes... not a clue!

52 Week Colour Challenge, Melon

Melon...hmmm, I think I can do that.

Short and sweet again this week, rl is really taking it's toll on me. Nomines milkmaid dress. Short, sexy, part- time see through; everything a girl could want to make those boys knees go weak and still be fully clothed. Wonderful textures and great design make this dress a must have.

Grim Bros shoes matched perfectly, so much detail in them too. A truly magnificent creation.

The rest are my usual listed below.

52 ELECTRIC BLUE

While some folks participating in the 52 Weeks Color Challenge started by the enterprising Luna Jubilee, I like inventory diving to see what I can find. And, if you have been following my 52s you know that blue is a problem for me. What did emerge is this very old "freebie" from Yak & Yeti, paired with another old freebie, the Signature Sandals from Lassitude & Ennui. Hair is the new Eden from Truth and skin is PXL Creations Gaia. Jewelry by Donna Flora and poses by [LAP].

52 Week Colour Challenge, Mahogany



Mahogany…such a beautiful colour.

After trying on several outfits I decided on Azul’s Laetitia in topaz. A high waisted (finishes just below the bustline), svelte skirt sits below a bolero, capped sleeved jacket that covers ones modesty. Gold sequins highlight the flesh exposed by the skirt and lends extra richness to this already decadent coloured dress.

I thought of mahogany hair and came up with Truth’s Midori, a classic updo to match the dress perfectly.

Shoes were a little more difficult but the recent purchase of Slinks’ Lulu stilettos seemed to solve the shoe crisis.

The rest is listed below but I think I did mahogany justice.

Am I feeling Aright??

Todays post is all about pink and flowers, obviously I am not in my right mind as I love this look…lol.

When Aleida had a limited release of a pink cocktail dress with a flowered skirt my attention was gotten. A corset top with a soft, frill bust line sits on top of a skirt entirely made out of roses. A lovely design well executed. It’s so pretty.

To match I went and bought the hot shoes of the moment, Mstyle Rivea pumps. Open toed and covered in roses. I love these shoes, a perfect match.

The usual are listed below as I think I need to go lie down from all this pink floweriness.

52 DENIM

The denim outfit is in 3 parts from A La Folie and called respectively "jeans bleu clair court & Top" and "Tee Shirt crochet blanc."In the right two images I'm wearing Fleur's Sailor Pants in Black [NA] instead of the denim skirt. I am wearing a PXL Creations skin in all images.
