52 Weeks of Colour-Electric Indigo

Thank Goodness for TOSL this week. I spotted this little sweater dress and tp'd right over, so it's from a template! and similar dresses are available in other places. I don't mind really, it was only 99L$ and perfect for this weeks colour.

I pulled out an old freebie hair do from Lelutka and re-tinted the headband to coordinate with the little sweater that thinks it's a dress.

I was stalking the Marketplace for mesh boots and happened across these beauties. They are from G&D and come in 3 sizes. I am totally loving the mesh boots. If you are STILL not on a mesh compatible viewer you are missing out BIG TIME.

My earrings are a group gift from Purple Moon to celebrate reaching 11k members, a matching necklace is also included but not worn in the pic. The bangles were from Mariposa, the store closed a while ago :(

52 Weeks of Colour-Coral

It's cold, raining and windy here in the UK. I need to feel the sun on my back. as that wont be happening in RL anytime soon, I went for the next best option, a SL beach for this weeks colour.

I chose another mesh item from Jane this time a maxi skirt. I liked the look of it with the bikini top but it would also look great with a gypsy/peasant style shirt and chunky belt and jewellery.

The bikini top is one of the items included in Attitudes 2011 freebie. The palette of oranges fitted nicely with the coral theme.

A wind blown hair do was needed and 'Artemis' from Exile is long, casual and a bit messy looking.

As I was being a beach babe this week  I wanted a more tanned skin. I am wearing 'Chloe' in tan by Belleza.

My accessories are the Big Shades glasses from AMD, which were the With Love (again) hunt gift. The bracelet is the 'Friendo' bracelet from Miel. Although you can't see it the bracelet has lettered beads which can be changed via a hud.  Of course mine reads 'Asia'

As I didn't want my fugly avatar feet on show. I found the old but still great prim feet from Slink (reminder to self check out the mesh feet there)

Asia is wearing:

• Skirt- maxi skirt.kokomo.oranges-Jane
• Bikini-FW11 freebie - fruits -Attitudes (freebie)
• Hair-Artemis/brownsugar-Exile
• Skin-Chloe Tan 3 -Belleza
• Glasses-Big Shades - Cream-AMD
• Bracelet-Friendo bracelet-Miel
• Feet- Jolie Pied v2.0 Mid-Slink

I would like to say I am now going to dip my toes in a warm ocean, unfortunately I'm not.

Nothing plain about this Jane

Jane is having a SALE, do I need to say more?

I have demoed the mesh clothing from Jane's previously but always had an excuse  reason not to buy, (usually fear of trying a mesh enabled viewer). Anyway I am now happily using the Firestorm viewer and I am a mesh addict.

A very quick blog as I need to go and buy EVERYTHING mesh at Jane's store. Also check out the other stores at Zyraa, they are also having a sale. The hair worn is from the Raspberry Aristocrat sale, 150L$ a colour pack.

Asia is wearing:

• Pants-Wide Leg Pant-Truffle-Jane
• Shirt-Bow Shirt-White-Coco
• Hair-Khloe-Black Beauty-Raspberry Aristocrat
• Bag-Clear Tote Bag-Group Gift (free to join) Coco

See you soon

52 Weeks of Colour-Champagne

Sooooo it's back! 52 Weeks Part Deux hurrah!!

I am starting off simply and building up to a big finish, LOL... I probably wont even remember what I started with in 52 weeks.

Thanks to the latest offerings from The Dressing Room I sort of knew what I would build the outfit around. R.icielli have another a bundle of goodies available there, part of which is the skirt worn.

As the skirt is a bit glitzy I wanted a plainer shirt to wear. I found this while checking out the ongoing sale at Coco. I was also reminded that I owned the boots from Coco.

I am currently feeling the love from the patterned tights from 'Jolie' available on the Marketplace. They are very pretty and really with all the snowy sims around at the moment it's just too cold for bare pixel legs :)

My go to skin is still the Eos (Eos1 I guess as R.icielli has now released Eos2) I couldn't find the Eos skin when I checked, maybe it's been discontinued :(

A quick rummage through my [elikatira] folder resulted in the Changes hair do. The headband is colour change and luckily had a colour that matched the lip colour on the skin (yes I am just that sad. I match headbands to lip colours)

Asia is wearing:

• Skirt-BEATRIZ sequined miniskirt /gold-R.icielli@The Dressing Room
• Shirt-Sleeveless Sweater-Coco
• Tights- tights, (part of the Nyss Pack)-Jolie@The Marketplace
• Boots-Leather&Canvas Flat Boots-Coco
• Skin-Eos (no longer available?)
• Hair-Changes - Brown 08-[elikatira]

Happy New Year girls and boys *mwah!

The Alphabet Challenge -N-

Reports of a very unusual event are being reported. Breaking news says lazy fecker  blogger Romano has actually posted twice in one day...I think it's a rumour of course.

I totally struggled finding stuff to wear for this weeks alphabet challenge. Eventually I found the tasselled sweater dress and built the outfit around that.

There is an amazing sale on at the moment at Natural Beauty. Everything is 40L$, including skin fat packs. I don't know when this finishes but I urge you to run run..and then run some more to pick up some of these beautiful skins. The pic below has only been lightly edited (cropped and brightened) to enable you to see just how nice these skins are. I am wearing tattoo lashes which are not included.

Asia is wearing:

• Dress-Basic Turtle-NINIKO
• Tights- Blizzard Leaves Tights-Nyss Tights Pack
• Belt- Ginger Belt - Burnt/Silver Studs-Nyte-N-Day

Walking it off

After a major Christmas food overload a nice walk in the snow was needed, well at least in SL it was.

I wanted to show a few of the nice things that were given out as group gifts or just seasonal freebies.

SF designs gave us this stylish winter coat in their subscribo. A free fur hat and gloves are also available in store. If you want a well made coat check out SF Designs. Swafette Firefly knows how to put a coat together IMO. Male and Female versions of the coat are included.

To keep our pixel ears warm on all the beautiful snowy sims that are around at the moment, a cute hat is always needed. This hat/hair is one of the instore 'Happy Christmas' gifts from Analog Dog. The hat is texture change. I opted for the 'Red Tweed' to match the coat. Queue Marlowe is the Queen of curly hair textures in SL so if you want soft bouncy curls TP your way to Analog Dog. There are two other free styles also available.

Lastly my patchwork boots which are an instore freebie at Lassitude and Ennui. These are beautifully made boots and come with the alpha foot hider for the V2 viewers.

So if your wallet is looking slightly empty after the Xmas indulgences why not log in and pick up a few freebies.

Asia is wearing:

• Coat- elysium coat - special edition SF Design (subscribo gift)
• Boots-Cupcake Patchwork Boots-lassitude & ennui
• Hair/Hat-washu soft black-Analog Dog

The freebies were still available at the time of writing this post.

Thank you to the SL designers who have given out so many nice free items this year.

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.

Asia is wearing:

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.
