The Alphabet Challenge -M-

Week Thirteen in the alphabet challenge is here already. Another snowy pic and another mix of old and new items.

I bought a super cute little snow scene from the Marketplace and couldn't resist using it for this weeks alphabet challenge pic. It's available here. The snowman was not included but he can be found here.

I wanted to wear the hair and hat combo from MINA and decided that Asia needed a coat to wear with it. After much searching I settled on the 'Mod Coat' by Coco.

Further skin folder rummaging found me the Lindsay skin from Mambo Chic. The skin is paler than I would usually choose for Asia,but seems to work with the red hair.

Although it's not really visible, there is a dress under the coat. It's the 'Where is...' hunt gift from Sticky Fingers,'My Black Cable Knit Sweater Dress'.

An old pair of boots from Kookie (2009) and the free scarf from Mr Poet and Asia was ready to finish  building Mr Snowman.

Ideal Ison

I have been definitely shopping less than I usually do. Time to change that!

I want to show you two new jackets I picked up yesterday and today.

I finally got to the Vintage Fair. While there I picked up the 'One Button Blazer' from Ison. This is a fabulous jacket both in texture and design. The Vintage Fair is over now. I expect the jacket will be available at Ison stores soon.

I wore the figure hugging cropped pants from Fishy Strawberry. The slim line of the pants worked out great with the fitted jacket. The jacket would also work over a dress or wear with jeans/leather pants for a more edgy look. This is a staple item for your wardrobe Ladies.

The shoes are from G.Field and of course they are amazingly well made (as is everything from that store)

The Angel necklace is from ByKay and was a KittyCat Advent Calendar gift. The gift is only available for one day (and this not the day, sorry) The earrings were also an Advent Calendar gift, this time from Orage Creations.

My second jacket purchase from Ison is the 'Belted Fur Vest' (for Project Themory). This reminded me of something a posh lady would wear while hanging out at some exclusive ski resort. This is a steal at 75L$. I picked it up in black too.

I teamed it with the wedge boots from WOot They are available for 99L$ at the XYRoom event.

 

A pair of cream cropped pants from DCNY and a blouse from Jane and I was ready to be a posh bird in a posh ski resort, actually it was the Kittycat Winter Wonderland Sim, but shuhhh if you don't tell...neither will I.

The Alphabet Challenge -L-

I have mislaid my blogging mojo it seems. Nothing I put on looks right at the moment, I don't know why? I am in blogging -L- (feeble joke..hey who cares?)

As it can be any season I want in SL I usually opt for sunny sims and summery clothes (until something winter like and cute catches my eye) Therefore I can wear white any month of the year.

The one shouldered top is an old item from Pink Outfitters and the linen pants were a Seasons Hunt find from Willow. Don't we wish RL linen pants looked as good. I wear them for 10 minutes in RL and they look like rags.

The cardigan is from Lelutka. I got this a while ago. The designs are so classic you are able to keep pulling them out of your inventory for months and months and they still look on trend IMO. I teamed the sleek bob also from Leluka with it.

I opted for a skin from Lara Hurley. The faces always look cute/innocent to me and sometimes that works better than a glam sophisticated face (rambling now).

Pixel Mode sandals finish off my look for this weeks Alphabet Challenge post.

Asia is wearing:

• Shirt-Ling Sheer Jersey Top-Pink Outfitters
• Trousers-Linen Pants-Willow
• Cardigan-PISMANIYE cardigan/charcoal-Lelutka
• Skin-Claire smokey3-red lips/Dark-Lara Hurley Skins
• Hair-INVERTED hair - Overcooked-Lelutka
• Shoes- Lady T-snake skin-Pixel Mode

That's me finished for now. until the next time. Take Care :)

The Alphabet Challenge -J-

Ten weeks into the Alphabet Challenge already. The weeks are really flying by.

Looking through my inventory there were two obvious candidates for 'J', Jane and JustB.

My jacket is part of a trouser suit I got a while ago from Jane. The clothes there are all beautifully designed and look very realistic. Janie Marlowe's mesh items are phenomenal too.I am also wearing the layering t-shirt in blush. This was a free item, it's not available now BUT, there are two freebies currently instore. A huge pack of tanks and a pack of bodysuits/layering romper.

I heard today that JustB is closing in a couple of weeks *sad face*. I love their pencil skirts and have them in a couple of colours. I also chose to wear the stiletto's from JustB.

I pulled out another Glam Affair freebie, this time it's Jadis in tan. It was a Xmas 2010 gift.

My updo is from Damselfly. I like that it has a fringe (bangs). I am a big fan of styles with a fringe.

My jewellery is 'Jungle' from Glamorize.

Asia is wearing:

• Jacket- essence jacket.raven-Jane

52WOC-Thoughts & Top 15

It certainly doesn't seem like a year since I decided to participate in Luna's 52 Weeks of Colour challenge. A year ago I was a relatively new blogger and still am compared to some others. I honestly didn't think I could or would complete the full 52 weeks.

So what has happened or changed in the past year? There have been no drastic changes to my SL. I am still a lazy blogger and pic editor although I am getting a wee bit better. My photography and editing has improved (I think). I am getting around the grid a little more, checking out new stores or scouting for nice locations to take pics. I still spend way too much time standing in my SL garden with my kittycats, sorting inventory or IM'ing people.

Okay here comes the sentimental bit. I would like to take this opportunity to Thank everyone who has commented on my blog posts. It means a lot to me that someone would take the time to do that. A big Thank You to the ladies (and gent) who now follow my blog too. Of course my last Thank You goes to Luna for throwing down the challenge and for the upcoming 52WOCC part deux.

52 Weeks of Colour, you have challenged me, inspired me, and sometimes frustrated the heck out of me but I will miss you (until January at least) :)

Works hard for the money

 

I am happy to see the end of Halloween (black overload) So a more colourful post today.

Beautiful Dirty Rich have their November group gift out, the 'Sweet Autumn' dress. The gift includes much more than the dress and hat worn, there are socks and boots included too. The dress comes with a shawl collar but I preferred it without.

I added the Ginger belt in black by Nyte'n'Day and the Platform Stiletto's by JustB.

A simple but cute outfit I think.

..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
