..said the spider to the fly

Just in case you have been living in a very deep secluded cave for the last month and didn't know, Halloween is HERE. Bet you're really surprised now huh?

As there has been such great Halloween goodies available it seems kind of ungrateful/lazy not to blog just a few.

I jumped on the vampire theme (who among us doesn't have a vampire 'thing' at the moment?  I know I DO).

I am wearing the Elvira dress by Sassy, this time in black. This is perfect for a sexy vampire look.  Lots of cleavage and even more thigh.

The skin is the Halloween group gift from Glam Affair, it's extremely pale but beautiful. I added a deeper red lipstick layer from Baiastice, a teeth tattoo from Tuli and the free fangs from ni.Ju.
  

The Angelina earrings and necklace are the Virtual Impressions Halloween group gift. This is also a pay to join group but it's worth it as they give out regular group gifts.

The demonic eyes are from BND. I got them from the Marketplace. The pack includes five colours  and costs L$20.

I kept the hair sleek and simple. It's the Amacci hair base2 in Jet Black and a hair knot at the nape of the neck (you can't actually see it in the pics, but take my word..it's there)

The super long nails are from Lovesoul. They are colour change via a menu and are my favorite nails at the moment.

Last but not least are my spider shoes. They are the Halloween group gift from Perfect10 (fee to join this group). The spider is great, although he did bite me Ouchie!

The Alphabet Challenge -I-

Ibizarre sprang straight into my head when the letter "I" came up. This store has been around for a very long time and always has great stuff. The outfit worn is an older design from Ibizarre, still cute and still very wearable.

I dug deep again this week into my skin folder and pulled out the IFE skin from Lelutka. I used to love this skin, it has a glamorous quality to it.

My inventory is a treasure trove of old items. Another of which is the Joi hair from Iconic. It was a Hair Fair 2010 gift.

The Egoista Platform Heels from Indrya Designs took care of my footware.

My accessories include earrings/bangle from Ticky Tacky and a scarf from Ison. The scarf is an instore freebie at the moment here.



As it's mostly old stuff this week I wont post LM's. The stores are listed below.

Asia is wearing:

• Dress/Tights-Tally Dress-Ibizarre
• Skin-IFEsunTan-makeup6-Lelutka
• Hair- Joi-CHOCO-LATTE-Iconic
• Scarf- tribal print scarf (black)-Ison

• Bangle/Earrings-I'll Have a MaiTai -Ticky Tacky

52 Weeks of Colour-Orange!

The last colour in the 52WOC challenge. I wont ramble on about my feelings at the end of the challenge  I will save it for next week and the 'best of' post.

I chose a pencil skirt from The Secret Store. It's vee-rry figure hugging (no SL cookies if you want to wear this skirt). A great range of autumnal colours are available. It also comes with a system skirt option which I am not wearing.

To give the outfit some zing I opted for the bold print of the 'Santana Shirt' by Jack Spoon. It's available on the Market Place for 50L$.

I wanted to show the 'Giabli' hair base from S H I. It comes with a funky short hair attachment, but I just love the base on it's own. Male and female sizes are included in the price of 100L$. It may not be every one's cup of tea but I think it's chic and stylish.

I grabbed up the berry.berry ultra lush green earrings from the marketplace a few months ago for 10L$, there is now a matching necklace for the same price.

Asia is wearing:

• Skirt- Pencil Skirt - Emberglow-The Secret Store
• Shirt-Santana Shirt Blue/Orange-Jack Spoon
• Skin- EOS sunkissed_DB/makeup8-R.icielli
• Hair-Giabi Hairbase-S H I
• Shoes- Oshun Shoes Blue V2.00-Pixel Fashion
• Necklace-berry.berry ultra lush beaded necklace-berry berry@The Marketplace
• Earrings-berry.berry ultra lush green earring-berry berry@The Marketplace

 Luna decided to start the challenge again in January. Yay! will I be participating? you bet!

The Alphabet Challenge *H*

Week Eight...off we go.

Another week of new & old. The skirt and cropped yellow cardigan are past hunt items from Hyper Couture. I don't know if that store is open now, I haven't seen anything about it for a while. Their blog hasn't been updated since March and I couldn't find anything inworld. Shame really they had great stuff.

My jacket is from Hermony. I got it in their sale a few months back.  It's a nice rich chocolate colour and works great with skirts and pants.

The 'Here' hair is from [elikatira] who are having a BIG sale on at the moment. 70% off. I picked up a couple of 'do's but I have a feeling I will be back to pick up a couple more. The sale runs until October 30th.

The shoes and glasses are both from Hoc. They are both colour change via a hud and ridiculously cheap for the quality.

I struggled again finding a skin to wear. I am not going to be buying a new 'letter suitable' skin every week (my skin folder would explode) so I am having to dig deep into the dusty corners of my inventory. Eventually I found the Heather skin from Lara Hurly Skins. This was a group or instore freebie last year.

Asia is wearing:

• Skirt/Cardigan- High waist skirt-Hyper Culture (???)
• Jacket-Leather Jacket, brown-Hermony
• Shoes-Platform Pump-HOC
• Hair- Here - Brown 04-[elikatira]
• Skin--Heather*Party Girl*--Gift-Lara Hurley Skins
• Glasses-- Rectangle Framed Glasses-HOC

Lunch time!

52 Weeks of Colour-Cream!

Welcome to my penultimate blog in the 52 WOC challenge. Please move right to the end of the row and take your seats. *Grins!

I chose a more 'dressy' dress for this week and the 'Elvira' dress from Sassy ticked all the boxes for me. The colour I am wearing is 'Stained White' (it looks cream to me) The dress is available in other colours, there is a black one that would be great for Halloween.

I like the"Vilda"boots from G.Field. The ankle wrap is very unusual but elegant. As with most things from G.Field the textures and shape are great. There is a feather decoration on the ankle wrap which can be turned off via a menu.

I wanted formal but funky hair and the 'Hary2' from Mirai Style fitted the bill perfectly. It's not a new release.Check out Mirai Style as they always have funky 'do's.

I am still loving the EOS skin (this time with a dark pink lipstick) so I opted for that this week. It's a strong makeup but I like that.

I added the'Pearls & Lace' necklace from League (old Fifty Linden Friday item) and filed away another 52WOC post.

Asia is wearing:

• Dress-Elvira-Stained White-SaSSy
• Shoes-Open Boots "Vilda"-Beige-GF
• Hair-.+*Hary2*+.Darkbrown-Mirai Style
• Necklace- Pearls & Lace Necklace-Pastels-League
• Skin-EOS sunkissed_DB/makeup20-Ricielli@The Marketplace

Orange next week?  Not my favourite colour but I am going to give it 100% for the last weeks post.

Kiss Kiss!

Along came a spider

It's most definitely hunt season in Second Life. 

The sweater I am wearing is the INN Hunt (until 30 October) item from Sakide. It includes black red and white sweaters.It works great with the free leggings from G.Field

The 'Apple' hair is the The Seasons Hunt (until October 29) gift from Fri.day. Seven colours are included. I did re-colour the hat for the pics.

It's been a while since I visited G.Fields so I tp'd over. It was one of my better ideas as I found there is a 50% sale on selected orange and purple stuff. There are several free/special priced Halloween items available too. I had to pick up the 'Alex-Purple Patent' shoes for 50L$ and the spiderweb leggings worn in the pics.

My necklace is also a Seasons Hunt prize and from Caroline's Jewellery.

Asia is wearing:

• Sweater-Snug Knit Pull, Black-Sakide
• Leggings- Halloween Spider-web Tights -black-G.Field
• Shoes- "Alex" -patent:purple-G.Field
• Hair/Hat-Apple-Light Brown-Fri.day
• Skin-Chloe Tan 3-Belleza

The Alphabet Challenge -G-

I thought I had finished my styling for this weeks challenge. I began taking pics and realised I had in fact done F again instead of G stoopid! Asia.

After throwing a semi hissy fit I started again. I didn't go shopping today (yet) so nothing worn is a new item, although some of it is still available.

The Germanotta trousers from R.icielli are one of my favorites. I teamed them with an off the shoulder sweater from Lazy Artist, unfortunately the store is now closed.

The hair is from Loq. Can you imagine how much hair product it would take? to get hair like that.

I chose the Eva skin from Glam Affair to wear this week, it was the valentines 2011 gift

My shoes are the Kylie shoes from Gaeline. I threw on a belt from Nyte'N'Day and that finished off G for me.

 Asia is wearing:

• Trousers-GERMANOTTA highwaistpants,white-R.icielli
• Sweater-Gina,black-Lazy Artists (now closed)
• Shoes-Kylie-Metal Edition-Gaeline
• Hair- Grappa Pieva - White-Loq
• Skin-Eva - MedTan-Glam Affair (Valentine 2011 gift)
• Belt-Ginger Belt - Black/Black Studs-Nyte'N'Day

The 'Tainted Lounger' in the pic cost the grand sum of 50L$. There are nine poses in the chaise and a further six in the floor cushion. Drop by Tatty Soup and check them out.

One last thought. Why do I find lots of great stuff for the previous weeks letter and not the current weeks? Next week my inventory will be suddenly overflowing with delightful items beginning with the letter G.

52 Weeks of Colour-Mulberry

It feels like I blinked and the 52 Weeks of Colour is almost over.

Mulberry to me is a darkish pinky/plum..so here it is.

I chose a casual set of trousers and sweater by Sn@tch which incorporates a lot of pink/purple/plum shades, hopefully one of which will be mulberry. :)

There is 50% off the newest releases at Boon. I grabbed the TUN247 which does not include the tattoo layer base :( The hair base should be included with the hair IMO.

The bag is a dollarbie from The Marketplace, very useful for those pixel keys phone etc :p

The jewellery is from PurpleMoon. It's the 'O Sole Mio' set which includes necklace and earrings. It's available in the subscribo. Click the first option in the menu.

My skin is 'Eos' by Ricielli. A pack of 20 makeups costs 600L$ on the marketplace. This is a more mature looking skin which I like. I am not a huge fan of the teenage looking skins.

Asia is wearing:

• Trousers/Sweater-Pillow Pants Lounge Set-Rose-Sn@tch
• Hair-TUN247-Boon
• Jewellery- O Sole Mio-PurpleMoon
• Boots-Long Boots,Round,black (foot worn only)-J's

The Alphabet Challenge -F-

Week Six...Fabulous Fragrant F.

In an attempt to not overspend participating in blog challenges. This week it's new dress and hair, older boots and skin.

I chose the Suede and Wool dress by Fishy Strawberry which is available for 70L$ at The Dressing Room. This is a versatile dress, I tried it with leggings and jeans and it looked as cute as it does worn with just the boots.

My hair is from EMO-tions. Anyone for a big, wild, tousled head of spiral curls?.....ME ME...yes please.

 

The hippychicks boots are an old group gift from FM shoes which are still available instore. They are bright and fun and FREE.

The skin worn is from Filthy. It's a old hunt gift from the YIBH. (your inner bunny hunt)

Jewellery beginning with 'F'? Has to be Finesmiths and I chose the Hara necklace to compliment the neutral colour of the dress.

52 Weeks of Colour-Wenge!

At last an unusual colour I have heard of. I have Wenge furniture and it's a dark almost black wood. So using my lounge furniture for inspiration here is this weeks colour challenge.

My interpretation is much darker/different than Luna's colour swatch (again)

I hit the 50L$ sale at JustB and picked up the suede pencil skirt and sweater. The sale is still on and worth a visit.

My hat is part of the latest group gift from +*JILL*+. This was a store I always liked but it closed a while ago. To my delight while looking for something else in search I spotted the 'Jill' group and joined again. Jill Lemons profile said there will be another store inworld again soon. Check the notices for the gift which includes two dresses (brown and grey) and matching hat.

My boots are the always stylish prestige boots by Bax Coen. Jewellery is from Purple Moon Creations and YS&YS. The necklace is a dollarbie which is still available in the shop (check the bottles on the bar)

I allowed Asia to buy the fatpack of the latest Belleza skin 'Chloe' and damn!! it's a pretty skin. The makeup range is very diverse and runs from classic nude/neutral to more vivid dramatic make-ups, and it's fab-u-lous! I want to have Tricky's beautifully skinned love child :)

Asia is wearing:

• Skirt-faux suede pencil skirt-JustB
• Sweater-cashmere scoop neck blouse-JustB
• Hat-*AEB-Brown-Hat-*+*JILL*+ (No store in world check Jill Lemons profile)
• Boots- Prestige Boots Brown Leather-Bax Coen
• Earrings- Ana Earring in Cedar-Purple Moon Creations
• Necklace-Roundie Necklace, Gold-YS&YS
• Skin-Chloe, Chloe Tan 22-Belleza

The Alphabet Challenge - 'E'

Week five of the alphabet challenge. This week I used a combination of old, new, free and not so free.

My inventory is like the 'Antiques Roadshow' of SL design and fashion. I keep a lot of old things hoping that one day Asia will pull it from the closet shrieking..'I can soooooooo wear this again' and this week she did.

Some of this stuff is from 2009/2010 (told ya I hoard stuff) so don't be surprised if it's no longer available. What is still available is, the hair, skin and shoes (freebie from Enkythings). The jewellery was from The Cart Sale (now finished) and is by EED, who have a SALE on. I have no idea where the belt came from,it is one of those mystery items you find while bungee jumping through your inventory. The store is listed as Eden! good luck with finding it, I tried.

Asia is wearing:

• Skin-Emma Tan 7-Zoul Skins
• Hair-Looking - Blonde 07-[e]
• Sweater-Top Candy-Black-Emery
• Jeans-Low Rider Jeans- Faded-Emjay-closed
• Belt-Studded Belt-Eden-????
• Glasses-Timeless Shades-Epoque
• Shoes-Talyna - Coolgreen-Enkythings
• Jewellery-Shizen Black~ Jade Vines -EED

Mwahhh!

52 Weeks of Colour-Moss Green

As it is freakishly unseasonably hot in the UK today I chose a summer dress for this weeks colour challenge.

The dress is from Zaara. I got it a while ago in a SL hunt. The dress is still available instore. Zaara's designs are classics IMO. No meshy nonsense in this dress,just a good old 'show your knee length knickers' when you walk, prim attachment.

I am loving the short hair from Tram. It is reminiscent of a 1920s crop I think. I do like Asia in short hair as she is not really a girly girl (uh oh my cartoon girl now seems to have developed personality traits)

The shoes are from Angelic Levre Couture. They are colour change via a hud. I threw on some of my all time favourite jewellery by Mariposa. I got it from her store (which is sadly gone now) but guess what? yep! it's available on The Marketplace too.

Asia is wearing:

• Dress-Mrinali-pistachio-Zaara
• Shoes-Moi-Angelic Lefevre Couture
• Hair-A817/Shell-Tram
• Jewellery-Oceanic-Mariposa

That's all folks
