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 MELON

Well sort of ... probably more apricot, but them's the breaks ;)

I started with the Henley tank in Melon from SWA [NA]. I miss Sioxie:( And the new Exile Aroha hair in Marone. And then I got lost. Leggings are from M*A*ii*K*I in Orange. On my feet are the Female Bollywood Shoes from Adam n Eve that we all have in our Library. Liane is a new skin from Adam n Eve that I am enjoying.[R] Poses are new from /GEEZ/ [R]-- yes she's back and making nice poses too!

Call it melocot, aprilon, whatever... I declare this week done!

Milla & sachi

sachi Vixen and Milla Michinaga are not only two of my dearest friends in SL, but both are very gifted content creators. And both of them know that I wouldn't blog their work if I didn't like it. So you can infer that I LIKE:) Very much.

On the left is sachi's newest fantasy dress. It has gorgeous textures and beautifully done sculpted parts. With it I am wearing jewelry from one of my favorite fantasy stores, Tekili-li. It's the Louhi set. I suppose I could look fiercer, but it's just not me.

MichaMi's Brocade Belle Dress [R] in Gold comes with two skirts, resizable either manually or with a script, but it just popped on and stayed there :) The textures are lovely, especially the lacework at the top of the bodice. The Madame Royale set in Cognac from MOOD completed the look.

Details for both outfits:
Shoes--Armidi's Vidalia
Hair--elikatira's Details
Skin-- Adam n Eve's Dany [R]
Poses--Long Awkward Pose [R]

In the MOOD for Drops of Rain

It rained hard last night where I live so these new Drops of Rain earrings from the talented Jori Watler seemed appropriate. [Yes I'm behind on "52". . .cope.] They were made for Project Themory and are available now at MOOD on Copley Square. Hair is the new Amira from Exile and the skin is l.fauna's Lapine in Pale 2 Fabergé -- a group gift no longer available. Poses are the ever trusty Female Blogger ones from [LAP].

Two for Tuesday

Often I find myself ending up with two related outfits when I go hunting for what goes with what. I started out looking for white pants to go with Whippet & Buck's Claven top in Aubergine. Ended up in pants for the second shot, but stopped at the LeeZu Berlin skirt in White for the first. My reason for aubergine/white was the beautiful new hair flower and earrings, with gorgeous pearls from MOOD. I am also wearing Maitreya Gold Shanti shoes in Eggplant and elikatira's Details in White 05. Skin is PXL Creations Gaia in Natural and poses are by [LAP].


Then I found the House of Heart necklace [NA] that went with the aubergine, but didn't show up enough. So I combine 2 layers of the Claven top, Antique and Rose. Skin is again Gaia, hair is When the Seas Met in Blinding from Clawtooth. Pants are from Ingenue, Leslie in Tiffany and the shoes are from one 11, The Wanderer [NA] also from Ingenue. Poses are again from [LAP]

52 Black

I know I'm late. So cope;) Thanks again to Luna Jubilee for starting the 52 week challenge.

So much black, so hard to choose, In the end I went for sachi's new Chiandra dress in black for Adam and Eve. The textures are much more detailed that the picture shows and the dress itself is modest and elegant. My skin is a beta of sachi's new Rosalie "goth" skin [R], which has a beautiful arty feel to it.

Jools are from the talented pixel fingers of Jori Watler of MOOD. The set is called Fallen Tears and I'm wearing it in gold. [R] My hair is Tiny Bird's Soma in butterfinger I think. With the pale skin and the black dress I thought a lighter color might work--and I think it does. Poses are from !BANG.

On to RED.

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 ::
