Scarf it up!

LeeZu's new mesh Scarf Poncho comes in a pack with three designs, 2 opaque and one lacey see-thru-ish . I'm not sure I've described this correctly. Perhaps it's just best to say that you get a lot for your lindens here. I was fortunate enough to have the fatpack dropped on me so that may explain my confusion:) First the ponchos are gorgeous. The ponchos are in standard sizes, but very wearable over other mesh, unless you choose, as I have to, wear the lacey one by itself. In which case it's very wearable over nothing;)

Otherwise I'm wearing Adam n Eve skin, Exile hair [Kelee, my new go-to style], Maitreya Gold Esprit shoes in Cherry and Maitreya leather leggings in coal. Poses are by [LAP].

Know your ABCs

A is for Adam n Eve's Samara skin and Audrey dress, a gift from Maitreya,
B is Baiastice and the beautiful new pumps at Culture Shock [which is also a "C"] plus the colorful jumpsuit.
C is for Clawtooth and Bubbles Glamazon hair.

Now you know your ABCs :)

Poses are the last ones from [LAP] :(

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.

Holiday Mix

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

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

Thursday Mix n Match

Old, new and in between.

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

52 Week Colour Challenge, Chartreuse

Chartreuse…such a pretty colour.

I definitely knew what I wanted to show you all for this colour…and again it’s an oldie. In fact it is one of my oldest cocktail dresses I own and I have almost forgotten who designed it. Shyone and Dulce were the forerunner to Dulce I believe. This very pretty, flighty dress has seen a few events in its time. The deep ‘V’ neckline system top sits above a pretty flouncy skirt of net, with a pretty net flower at the waistband. I adore this dress and, although time is showing on it a little bit, I still think it can hold its own.

I kept things simple to show off the dress…so the rest is listed below.

Sorry, short and sweet again.

52 Mahogany

Again I've mined my backlog "closet" for Mahogany. The centerpiece is the Larin Skirt from Zaara in one of the art prints. The top is from Ivalde. I like the way the lace edging complements the uneven edge of the skirt. Maitreya's Uma hair in Copper blends nicely to the theme.

The shoes are Lady T's from Pixel Mode, a generous gift from the Lady T herself, Jori Watler. I'm wearing Laurel, one of sachi Vixen's recent skins from Adam n Eve in Spice Natural.

Other details:
Earrings & Necklace from *MM* [NA]
Bracelet from Primagine [NA]

52 Week Colour Challenge, Ruby

Ruby…hmmm. Lots of reds in my inventory but few that match this weeks challenge.

I eventually decided on an older piece by Uncle Wriggly. The colour of this system dress is predominately ‘ruby’ with green highlights. I still love these dresses and any excuse to wear them is fine by me.

I decided to have a bit of fun and used a freebie prop and pose I had picked up at a fair some time ago, xari’s pose and balloon are great to work with. The balloon is full modify so can be tinted or resized accordingly.

The rest I listed below.

Styling:

Shape: custom, FuriousDesigns
Skin: [PXL] Candy NAT Wine DEB
Hair: Maitreya Green II - Charcoal
Eyes: (Miriel) Eyes - Platinum (Big)
Eyelashes: Cake, Seperated lashes, tintable
Dress: Uncle Wriggly 66b/ raspberry floral dress
Shoes: [LeLutka]-Saffron Pumps

52 OLIVE

I'm a day late because of the blogger outage, but here OLIVE is! And I've dug back into some unpublished images to bring you Ingenue's Falling Autumn in Harvest. Close enough! My Maitreya Mishima shoes match nicely I think. My earrings are from Primagine. I think they were for a special event, but you could check... Hair is from Adam n Eve. I'll get the name later. My skin in PXL Creations Candy [I think] in Natural, probably Bronze Lips. Be sure to try Hart's newest, Gaia--I'll be blogging her soon!

Say Hello to Dany!

sachi Vixen's recent skins have been suiting me nicely and Dany is no exception. She's a lot more sophisticated than Taylor and even Laurel and quite different from my latest fave, Paige. Like Paige, Dany comes with a base skin and several eye shadows and lip colors as well as manicure/pedicure and *coughs* that hair down there. At $1800. sachi gives you a LOT. Here's the slurl to her boutique at the Skin & Shape Fair. Go, try the demos, purrrrrrrrr and BUY! Especially you blondes or peeps like me who let their inner blonde out once in a while. RAWR

Now before anyone jumps on me, yes the photos on the left were flipped for symmetry's sake. So sue me. It's the skin that matters here. The middle shot is the base skin, very lovely by itself. The top two side pics are 2 of the lip colors and the bottom 2 are 2 of the eyeshadows. (I can't run a viewer that has the "add layer" feature so it's one at a time for me.)

Sweater is the Picnic & Flowers Cardigan from Mon Tissu. The trousers are also Mon Tissu's Horizontal Twill ones. Hair is Details from elikatira in Blonde 02. Earring are Nouveau Wave from Dark Mouse. Camisole is an old Maitreya one from her Mirli sweater set.

It's a Pose Fair!

I realize we're all "faired-out", but this is a fair chock full of goodies for all of us! And it benefits a great cause, epilepsy. I only had time to do one small corner of the fair, which being held on the Cheese sim, but came away with some interesting, useful and not expensive poses from Miamai, Just a Pose, Hopscotch and *hmaem*. Nothing pictured is over L$50. The pose on the far right is from Hopscotch and is part of a set useful for big ball gown skirts. The rest of the details are below.

Poses: Just a Pose; Miamai, *hmaem*, Hopscotch

Hair: elikatira Later Red05
Skin: adam n eve Taylor Natural Blush
Shoes: maitreya Mishima Dawn Puce [NA?]
Trousers: 5th & Oxford Sailor Pants [about to be NA]
Top: Zaara Deesha Mocha
Earrings: (luc) Fashion Jewelry Undine Earring, DawnPrism/Gold

SySy *sigh*

For my money SySy is one of the grid's underrated creators. Her dresses are always smooth to the touch with a nice mix of elegant and minxy:)


First up is NOELLE, which I am wearing in Green. It's a lovely system skirt with a wider prim skirt at the bottom. The bodice is "held up" by thin straps that are nicely detailed.


Next is LuLu which was a holiday gift in red. The modest row of small buttons leads down to a deliciously poofy skirt.

In both shots I am wearing a past TDR hair from BOON, Donna Flora earrings, the Taylor skin from Adam n Eve, Maitreya Gold IXkin in Pearl. On my wrist is the new Sorella cuff from :: MOOD ::

52 Plum

Yep it's a plummy challenge this week. I didn't have trouble finding Plum in my inventory. The problem was deciding. Finally I decided on a now [unfortunately] discontinued ~silent sparrow~ dress called Meadowlark. hya has grown in her work since then, but this dress always makes me feel like an elegant country maiden. Even back then there are about 1000 skirt options:) hya has always been a generous creator. Love you hya!


I'm also wearing Adam n Eve's new Taylor skin in Natural Blush. I can't emphasize enough how beautiful this whole skin is from tits to tail ;) Hair is Maitreya's Uma in Copper, which I seem to wear when I want something quirky and chic. Jewelry is from [ET] Frippery-- The Waltz of the Snowflakes.

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]
paper couture citrine earrings
Pose comes with the included clutch purse.

Old and New

Today I am showing old and new.

Old being the NDR Silva gown. This is which is a sexy, beautiful gown, whether worn short or long. Nicky Ree’s textures and designs stand the test of time. Want to turn heads then this is the dress to wear.

Two things new, first Truth hair from the sale...Midori. Beautifully made, messy updo that screams sexy. It matches the Silva dress wonderfully.

Second, Maitreya shoes, also from the sale. I wanted to pick out the hem detail on the dress so went for Esprit shoes in ecru. No extra invisi prims, easy to wear and easy to use HUD. Again, clever design and textures.

To finish I am wearing PXL Candy skin, Miriel eyes and Alienbear’s jewellery.
Now where’s my prince?
