She Sells Seashells

I was putting together this "look" around the Cloud Pattern skirt in Purple from So Many Styles, when Hibiscus Flossberg of Puarangi Designs announced that she had remade the men's shell choker for the ladies. I ran over and got it to finish the outfit.

With the SMS skirt I am wearing the Shimmer Tank in Pink from Cupcakes, lycra tights from the old G.L.A.M. dyed to match the skirt and a knitted shrug from The Kiwi Project, which I tinted slightly to warm it up a bit.

I'm wearing Truth's Grazia 2 in Copper and the Limited Edition Audrey Holiday skin from 5th & Oxford, available only at the Harajukubox Town Skin Faire for a few more days. It's a nicely sunburned skin with tan lines and a free bikini at a teeny price!

My shoes deserve a special mention -- they are the Samara heels from Adam n Eve in Coffee Bean. How lucky can I get to have such killer heels named for me :)

So thanks to all the creators, but especially Hibi for the necklace that provided the final element for my outfit.

The *ICING* on the Cake!

One result of being unemployed and not able to spend my lindens so freely has the need to explore my inventory for forgotten gems. I saw the notice for the ICING sale and as I was searching for the landmark I came across Passion Flower, which I popped on as I *am* a "Passionate Redhead." So off I went to the sale, and, in my new thrift, only fell for one, Tradewinds, which I had admired for a while. One of the reasons the poses are sideways and the same side is that I wanted to show off the seashells in the Tiny Bird hair :) Also the backs of the dresses are as well done as the fronts. In both dresses Miko Omegamu's skill at shape and texture are evident.

More Relay for Life Generosity:)

As you will learn, if you don't know already, my relay team is The Passionate Redheads. We won Team Hero Award last year, but more importantly raised over $10,000 USD to help fund a cure for cancer. And THIS year we are back, with many new members, all of them enthusiastic and generous. I'll be blogging the fashion contributions they have made to support our team's fund raising efforts. If you can't wait to see them here you can always check our Relay Blog!

First up are two wonderful jewelry sets. The first is Hibiscus Flossberg's RFL Complete Passionate Pink Gypsy Set. Whew, that's a mouthful ;) It is available at her store Purangi Designs.




This set isn't new, but what IS new is that she has packed absolutely EVERYTHING in one nicely priced box. Not only do you get the necklace, earrings and bracelet I am wearing. You also get another bracelet, belts, anklets and belly rings, several with two attachment points. I have had the Gypsy set in green for a while, but couldn't resist the packed box of pink goodness, all for Relay for Life.




Next is Mouse Mimistrobell's Pink Tourmaline Spheres in Silver, a RFL for life exclusive in her Spheres series. I got the Peridot/Copper set when it first came out and when I suggested PINK for the RFL version, Mousie said sure :) I've blogged this set before, but it still bears repeating that the square earrings and clasp make the set just that much more fashionable and smart. And in Pink Tourmaline, it rocks! This relay exclusive is available from her RFL Kiosk at her Dark Mouse store.

For both jewelry sets I am wearing Michami's Glitter tube and leggings in Purple and Black, Zhao's Precious color-change shoes, my custom Soda skin in sand and ETD's Tyra hairstyle in Auburn Burnt.

Thanks so much to Hibi and Mouse for such beautiful donations to the RFL cause. [And YES I bought mine too!]
