Happy Holidays to You All!

Thanks for making my time in SL (tm) interesting, rewarding and [sometimes] frustrating!

May 2009 bring us a stable grid and newness from all our favorite creators :)

It's a "Sick" Challenge from Dot Lane :)

Dot Lane said:

Hmmm...I see you in something Japanese...maybe one of the Yugao dresses from Plus Nine paired with one of the Fleur Biba skins, ankle boots, and zero style hair. I'd also like to see what you could do with the "Sick" dress from Yome Shoujo with a Fleur Vivant Pin-Ups skin...

OK Dot, here we go :)


I started with Plus Nine's Yugao Long Skirt Set (Cassis) because I loved the colors. It came with some serious shoulder fur, but that conflicted with my Zero Style hair [Dana in Black Cherry-I feel like a Black Forest Cake LOL] so it got left off. I LOVE the hem flounces, but in action they don't fit well as you move. With those and the system skirt I had trouble finding poses that didn't screw up one or both.

As requested, my skin is Fleur's new Allure Biba 3 in Truffle. The Kristin Booties are from ETD, but I couldn't decide whether to wear plum or teal so I wore one of each!



Sick you say? There are two Sick dresses by Yome Shoujo, neither of which look that way. I bought both, but ended up using the lighter of the two. The dress has layered flounces and puffy sleeves, but the pièce de résistance is the stuffed heart necklace. Normally I wouldn't wear a pillow on my chest, but this funny face grew on me during the shoot.

The skin is the requested Fleur Vivant Pin-up 2 in Blush. My clunky shoes are from the Bare Rose, It's Only a Paper Moon costume. Hair is Zero Style's Hays in Golden Wheat. [Yup, it's the demo LOL] I wanted something pig or ponytailed and this did the trick on a day when Phil's Place was no cooperating.

I had fun with your challenge Dot --thanks <3

Achariya's "Dress Me" Challenge from Achayria herself :)

Achariya said:

Oh I know! I'd like to see you in one of Zaara's sari's, and accessories to match. So here you go!



I LOVE Zaara Kohime's work so this was no problem. But I after looking at a gorgeous sari for a lot of lindens, I opted for Red Riot, an older [and still gorgeous] one available in her discount room. The bracelets are Zaara's beautiful Suvarna ones, but the rest of the jewelry is Yak & Yeti's free Bollywood set in tourmaline. I copied and edited the forehead piece to serve as a belly jewel LOL. Hair is ETD's L$1 Lily style in Carmel Burnt. The skin is Fleur Parfait Deux 1 in Strawberry.

Thanks for the excuse to go Bollywood Achariya!

Late to the Party:) Dress Me Up Challenge!

I was out of town and missed the challenge from Achariya so here goes.

Please dress me up? [Picture is by my longest time SL friend, Fury Stapleton] It's cold where I live and I'm going to freeze if you don't LOL

The Stringer Mausoleum + Biba = Stunning!

Working at ETD and Fleur has its advantages, one of which is meeting avis who are wonderful content creators. This is the case with Fleur Insider, Helena Stringer, owner and creative impulse of The Stringer Mausoleum.



She was kind enough to drop her style, Wrapped, on me as an early holiday pressie and, while I normally don't wear hair that is almost as big as I am, this one is a honey :) I'm wearing it in crimson tipped with the included hairbow and snowflakes. Top is the Lookr "Naughty".

Skin is the about-to-be-released Fleur Allure Biba 1 in Truffle. Biba has transitioned gracefully from Vivant to Allure. The new Allure skin tones and body detailing make Biba work for me in way she never did as a Vivant makeup.



So after Helena dropped Wrapped on me I wandered over and ended up getting the Stargazer Eyelashes in the Colour Pack. They are seasonally outrageous LOL. You get 6 colo[u]rs for L$150 -- be sure to click on the picture to see how wonderful these are :) The skin is Fleur Allure Winter Nights 3. Hair is ETD's Luth in auburn burnt.

I go away for 2 weeks and ... miss a lot ;)

I come back to not only the glorious new Allure Winter Nights skins from CJ and Roslin, but a sweet new outfit called Fair Isle. And I missed the Secret Sale:( But seriously, thanks to Fury for taking over in my absence! I may take another vacation!




Here's my blog for before I knew the sale was over *cries* -- so instead of wearing Winter Nights, I'm wearing the formerly-on-sale Shoujo 6 in the just-right-for-me new skintone of Azelea.

But the big news is the Fair Isle outfit from Fleur with plenty of options for layering. Take a good look at the beautiful silver clasps in the middle photo, as well as the faultlessly designed sweater underneath. I even went out and bought the Shiny Things Plainers in cherry to complete the look, knee socks and all! In the right hand photo I paired the dress top with the L$1 ETD Cords in Moss to show the versatility of this new outfit.

Hair is ETD's Luth in auburn burnt. Jewelry is from (luc) and Caroline Jewelry.

Ibizarre + Muism = Cozy Winter Outfit

I wanted to wear the Muism open cotton shirt with it's prim cuffs, but what to wear over it? My good friend, Fury Stapleton, asked if I had seen Ibizarre's "vests". I had gotten stuck at the other end of that wall mesmerized by the scarves and hadn't. So off I went. This is the Ibizarre Knit Pattern Tank in black. Look carefully to see the subtle pattern. My slacks are also from Ibizarre -- their soft black leather ones.

I am also wearing ETD's Luth in auburn burnt, (luc) Fashion Jewelry's Celest set with the metal set to black, and the Retrohoochie Pump in Black. I'm pretty sure my skin is Fleur Allure Lounge 2 in cinnamon.
