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, Wenge

Wenge...never heard of it. However, having had it explained to me I do have some items of that colour.

I chose Sn@tch Athena top. I love the babydoll aspect of it and the floaty openess of it. A really lovely item of clothing. Plus sexy as Hell...lol

So, thinking sexy I thought of hotpants. Initially I wanted high waisted black hotpants to set off the top. Then, having tried several options from my inventory I settled on Vogues silver, sequined hotpants. All glittery and hot.

Of course, the next logical step was to sport Slinks mesh thigh high boots.

For once I changed my skin, I chose one of  Glam Affairs Castalia skins. The make up is heavy and smokey...a sultry look but still fresh looking. To top it all off I wanted a hairstyle with a heavy fringe, so I can shoot smouldering looks from under it, and [e] lasting hair fitted the bill.

The rest is listed below.

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.

Hunt at Nicky Ree

Nicky Ree has a mini hunt on in her mainstore.

What are you looking for? The DNR Donna Collection in 10 colours. Each colour is boxed and priced at L$50. The collection consists of a simple short dress and matching lingerie. A choice of tops is given also from transparent to solid. The textures are divine, the net on the transparent top looks like you could touch it, the detail of it is wonderful.

I chose to show the undies…as that is more me…lol….and I’ll let the pictures do the rest. All the other styling details are listed below.

3 days left to hunt so grab the goodies whilst you can.

52 WHITE

I know --another bride you say? Well at least this is a sophisticated late afternoon, evening outfit. It is Kerry from the late and still lamented Last Call. [NA] Ginny Talamasca was a very gifted designer whose work still stands up in the current world of sculpties, shadows and Frankenfeet. I'm wearing Kerry with Caroline Apollo's Carlotta set in Diamond, Lelutka's Lush hair in "Rita", Maitreya Gold Ixkin in Pearl and Eleganza bouquet by Nirvana.

Cue the bridesmaids!

Happy 7th Rezday to Caroline Apollo!

It's jeweler Caroline Apollo's SEVENTH RezDay! Now if prims could talk -- there's SL history for you ;) I know I acquired my first jewelry from there early in my SL career. I've only met Caroline a couple of times, but she has *always* been very kind and pleasant.

In honor of her RezDay I am wearing her new Seasons - Fall Flowers Set, which I purchased at the recent jewelry fair.

To complement the colors in the necklace and earrings I decided on an ICING dress, the Azalea Sunset.

Other items worn:
>TRUTH< Cameron - copper
::Soda:: Custom Skin - Samara Barzane
*Glitterati* Head Poses

Falling into Fall

Two mix and matches for Fall.



GField has released two wonderful short boots for fall, one with a strap and metal closure, called Emma and the other with a ribbon bow with a second interior color, called Anna. The latter were the inspiration for this outfit, the *GF* Short Ribbon Boots "Anna" in Brown. I tried to pick up the pink elsewhere in the outfit, but it overwhelmed, so please count the skin peeking through the Mimikri Ajour tights :) I've blogged everything else here except the top, Lady of the Pins from Ki2, and the jewelry, Caroline Apollo's turtles that I got at the jewelry fair.



The star of the second outfit is the *Fishy Strawberry* Cuddle Maxipull in Brick. I added the belt from Dark Mouse's discount shop [tp in the main store], leather Isabeau pants in brown from LF Fashion and J's short ankle boots in Sand finish off the outfit.

Skins in both images are Curio's Breeze 2 Mudslide 1 & 2 in Petal. Hair is from Truth and Kyoko's Hair Shop *White Well*.

Hair Xplosion!

It started with *X*plosion hair Kayli. This wonderful, casual updo with a wide headband is just fantastic, I love it. From the too long fringe and wisps of hair to the huge bun at the back…the hair colour, texture and styling is brilliant. The headband comes with both a colour change and shininess menu…so clever…so it can be paired with virtually anything. Included in the folder are both small and big sizes of hair, modifiable, plus both sizes again but this time including jewels…to give even more variation on what you can wear with it.

So, the hair chosen…what to wear with it? I went through all the unsorted folders and clothes in my inventory and came across the MichaMi: Soraya Limited Edition Gift. This is a simple yet stunning green bikini. Thank you MichaMi for quality piece of free clothing.

Shoes (not seen) are ETD Peep Sling backs tinted green and the jewellery comes from (Caroline's) Natural Wood & Jade Set.

I spent the rest of my day dressed this way on my beach…lol.

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.
