52 Weeks of Colour-Ruby

Ruby Ruby....Rubbbbby..I can't get this song out of my head now.

I knew immediately what I would wear for this weeks colour challenge. It's an oldie but a goodie. I remember when I first saw this dress and it really blew me away and I still love it, such a shame I never go anywhere in SL now that warrants getting all poshed up.

The dress is by Miko Omegamu and her store Icing was one I visited very frequently a few years ago. The design of this dress still holds up and I think it's as great looking now as the first time I wore it (some time in Summer 2009) and still available in store.

I picked the Darla hair up at The Dressing Room Blue's birthday celebration a couple of weeks ago and of course it's gorgeous as is most of the hair from Exile.

Asia is wearing:

• Dress-Chinoiserie-Icing
• Jewellery-Mandala
• Hair- Darla/chestnut-Exile

I am rocking out now to other Kaiser Chief stuff on You Tube.

52 Weeks of Colour-Neon Carrot!

I have never heard or seen a colour that was described as Neon Carrot (and I don't want to either). The word made me think of radio active bunnies *shudders.

But as I am late late for a very important colour challenge (puts away Alice in Wonderland) here is my version of Neon Carrot.

I have been stalking The Marketplace again for some of this weeks ensemble. My hair/hat and some of the jewellery I found there.

The dress is/was an in- instore freebie at REMY and my geek chic glasses are from Maschienenwerk and I think they were either free or a dollarbie. My flats are from Duh! (10L$)

Asia is wearing:

• Dress-Voila MaxiDress in Citrus-REMY
• Hair/Hat-Orange hat with bob-Mr Sigmund Fride@The Marketplace
• Shoes-Bronze FlatS-Duh!
• Jewellery-Orange Agate Stone Pendant/Orange Agate bangles-Duh@The Marketplace
• Glasses-Jagu_Glasses-Maschienenwerk -I couldn't find the store at all :(

 Two down one to go.. onward to this weeks challenge 'Ruby'

Tick Tock...Tick Tock. I am three weeks behind, my reason for this? erm..erm..let me think for a second..got it!!..my dog ate my inspiration? ok yes that's a good and plausible excuse. phew!

Welcome to the word of speed blogging, on your marks, get set, GO!

I am wearing a mash up of sale items, past cheapies and group gifts.

Check out my jacket it's from Hermony who are currently having a sale (raising money for their RL doggies surgery) the jacket set me back a whole L$25, also available in black and brown. While you are there check out the eyes you wont be sorry you did.

The trousers are the Valentines 2011 gift from DCNY. Not available now I would guess but they do come in other colours and are a great shape with the flare prim attachment blending seamlessly into the pants.

The T-shirt is from a huge pack that I got from Jane and comes in a bazillion colours.

My smexy heels were a gift from Mstyle.

Last but not least the hair I am wearing is from Action and reminds me soooo much of Amy Winehouse's beehive love it!

52 Weeks of Colour-Olive!

More spring like colours Yay!

I am often asked in SL if I am Asian, well nope I am not Asian I just liked the name Asia. To further confuse people this week Asia is doing an Asian inspired Olive.

Sn@tch had another great Sale over the weekend and of course I had to go check it out. I picked up a few things which would have slotted very nicely into this weeks challenge, of all my bargains I particularly liked the Cheongsam. The colour Asia is wearing is one of seven included in the pack.

Belleza sent out May's group gift their new release' Aiko' it was the obvious choice for my Asian inspired colour challenge. The group is L$250 to join and worth it as there are regular skin gifts for both males and females. The group gift comes in four tones I am wearing deep tan, there is a shape included (not worn)

Even though the Aiko skin is beautiful I wanted to add a more dramatic makeup to it I did this with the 'Glitter Liner' in green tattoo makeup by Newdoll Nikolaidis. I picked this up at the 'Another Fundraiser' back in March and have no idea if it's available anywhere now.(sorry to tease you if it isn't available)

I will quickly tell you about the eyes I am wearing..OMG! I love these eyes, they are from BND and are available at The Marketplace. A pack of five eyes all of which are beautiful and all of which are now in my favorites folder cost L$5. While you are there (you really should check these beauties out)grab the demonic eyes from the same seller..worth it worth it worth it.

My earrings were another great find on The Marketplace at L$10

Asia is wearing:

• Dress- Xin Cheongsam -Sn@tch
• Skin-Aiko-Deep Tan-Belleza (group gift)join group and check notices
• Earrings-berry berry ultra lush green earrings-berry-berry@The Marketplace
• Eyes-[BND] green eyes- Bird Next Door@The Marketplace

I openend a little kitty shop in SL..So I am now Asia the crazy cat business lady :)

52 Weeks of Colour-Tangerine

I believe we are at the half way mark in Luna's challenge. I have enjoyed putting together the different colour looks, some for only a few lindens and some from spending a bit more.

This week I took a trip to KissKiss BangBang. Delia Linette has a small range of dresses, shoes, accessories and I noticed she also has skins for sale.

I can't honestly say that I would buy out the whole selection but I really liked the shape of this dress it is 1960s groovy (and obviously available in a tangerine-ish colour). The prices are very low for example the dress was 5L$

 I wanted a nice sharp bob to go with the groovy dress which I found at Epoque, L$275 for a colour pack of five colours (changeable via a hud)

The glasses are part of February's group gift from Deco.
Asia is wearing:

• Dress- Julianna Dress - Groove-KKBB
• Hair- Alejandro - Earth-Epoque
• Glasses- Swank Glasses - Olive-Deco

I am going off to enjoy what's left of my long weekend :)
