52 Weeks of Colour-Dandelion

Dance ballerina dance..

This week I went inventory diving for my outfit. Typing 'dandelion' into my inventory resulted in a big fat zero. Next on my list was' lemon' which found me the frou frou skirt from Sn@tch. The skirt reminded me of a ballerina skirt and the idea for this weeks colour challenge was born.

Blowing the layers of dust from my 'retired skins' folder, I found a past (really long past) gift from Lelutka the 'Lola' skin and hair attachment. I got this skin in 2010 and it still looks nice I think.

I remembered seeing a ballerina photo prop on Gogo's blog a while ago. It was the perfect thing for this weeks pictures. 'Swan Lake' from (by Kraft) contains the photo prop,seven static poses and a ballerina outfit all for L$75, more information here

My off the shoulder shirt is the 'Pietra' bodysuit from R.cielli and my ballerina shoes (I tinted them) are part of the Swan Lake pose prop.

52 Weeks of Colour-Dark Raspberry

Don't these weeks just fly by? no sooner have I finished one colour and we seem to be onto the next.

I wanted to build an outfit around the amazing mesh jeans from J.H Couture. I have looked high and low for good mesh jeans and finally found the *Anika*  jeans. They are available in black, blue, grey, night blue and black, mesh sizes- extra extra small to large are included.

I am wearing one of the many many colours of the layering t-shirt from Jane. This was a freebie a while ago, not sure it's still available. I teamed it with the classic white shirt from Connors.

I threw in a couple of similar shades with my shoes and bag. The shoes are from Coco and the bag is part of the latest 60L$ weekend item from Purple Moon.

I splashed out today on the Eos2 skin. Ricielli must be among the most generous stores in SL. Currently there is a 50L$ sale on clothing and accessories, a valentines hunt and half price sale on skins. Ricielli is one of my favourite stores in SL, so I am an extremely happy girl today. The hair worn is one of the valentines hunt gifts (15L$).

Some big bold jewellery from Ticky Tacky completed my dark raspberry look.

The Rear Of The Year

Leather pants? Mesh? yes please :)

The 'Willow' leather pants* are one of the newest releases from J.H. Couture  and are simply fabulous. Available in black, brown, mocca and wine. Sizing! each pack has five mesh sizes: extra extra small, extra small, small, medium and large. So the chances of not finding your size are very unlikely.

Some of the other designers mesh pants I have tried seem a little bulky around the waist, not these beauties they are svelte and so so smexy. TP over to J.H Couture and check these beauties out for yourselves.

Thank You Jada! :)

52 Weeks of Colour-Folly!

I thought I would breeze through this weeks colour. I took a quick glance at it last week on Luna's blog and thought yep! deep pinky/cerise. The reality of it was deep pinky/cerise was so not the shade of pink needed. Ooops!

So after throwing myself around the grid and the Marketplace, tp'ing home complaining about finding nothing, then repeating the whole thing for what seemed like hours. I chose the Vanity Affair dress from Alexohol.

I popped the tie blouse from Izzies underneath the dress and opted for the retro looking short do from Tram. The shoes are one of the 'Women's Stuff  Hunt' items. N-core shoes, free!! do I need to say more?

The outfit then looked very preppy/uniform like.hmmm so what sort of pic could I take? Inspiration came to me via a conversation I was having. A violin was mentioned (yep random conversation rule) and the obligatory light bulb popped up over my head. Yep! in my inventory I did indeed have a violin and "Music Please Maestro" Asia was ready for her solo.


Asia is wearing:

• Dress-Vanity Affair Dress-Pink-Alexohol
• Shirt- Bow Tie Blouse-Beige-Izzies
• Shoes-COQUETTE Platform "Pink"-N-Core (Women's Stuff Hunt)
• Hair-A817 hair / creamyellow-Tram

*sighs another pinky tone next week :)

Mesh Crazy

I built today's outfit around the amazing 'Asym' cardigan from Crazy. I loved the style and shape of the cardi and I am always a sucker for earth/neutral tones.

The wide legged mesh pants from Jane were a perfect accompaniment.

To add just a splash of colour I added the teal shoes which are the Women's Stuff hunt gift from N-Core (more info here) and a matching belt from R.icielli. (Don't forget the 50L$ SALE is still running at R.icielli)

Hair and skin are provided by 'April' from Milano and 'Chloe' in tan by Belleza.

A tone on tone outfit with a splash of colour, simple but stylish.

Asia is wearing:

• Cardigan- Asym Cardigan-Crazy
• Pants- Wide leg pant.zooey.truffle-Jane

52 Weeks of Colour-Alice Blue!

Hoping to do a bit of a multi tasking post here. Obviously it's my post for Luna' challenge but also a sneaky nod to Gogo's lingerie challenge.

Alice blue! what a conundrum you are. Wiki describes the colour as a pale azure, Luna's swatch looked almost white to me. So after scratching my head and stalking the search engines I decided to use the palest blue I could find, which happened to be lingerie.

It's another one of the old items from Phoenix Rising (available only on the Marketplace now)

I rummaged around in my SL make up bag and found a pink pearl shadow from Baiastice and the ultra glossy lips from R.icielli (part of the Raina skin pack)..either I am going for luscious lips or chapped lips with too much lip balm on, not sure really :). I am also wearing the orginal Eos skin which is no longer available.

I am wearing one of the newer releases by Truth. I don't wear a lot of hair from there nowadays but the 'Leesa' style caught my eye, loving the fringe (bangs)

My jewellery choices consist of a gold collar which was part of the 'When You Sleep' mesh kimono from BareRose and the 'Paulinha' earrings from Finesmith, which were a gift from my sweetie. so mwahhh mwahh.

Asia is wearing:

• Lingerie-Mislead--Ice-Phoenix Rising@The Marketplace
• Hair- Leesa - chocolate-Truth
• Necklace-When You Sleep Collar-BareRose
• Earrings- Paulinha-Finesmith
• Eyes-Meggan (part of the Meggan fat pack)-Unique Megastore

...and it's bloody snowing in my little part of the world..booooooo!

52 Weeks of colour-Patina

Apologies! This will be a simple and short post. Why you might ask?  Well as you asked I will tell you. I have a cold and it's a well known medical fact that having a cold allows you to be lazy and whiny and write short blog posts. 

This week was a struggle for me, I couldn't find the right shade. This is not it either but it's as close as I am going to get. Another well known medical fact is that the common cold impairs your colour/shade perception, (yes! yes! it's true)
.
The dress and hair are new, the cardigan (2009) was from Miseria and shoes were from 50flats

 Asia is wearing:

• Dress- Savage Garden Dress - Night Air-The Sea Hole
• Cardigan-really old item.
• Shoes-Scale-Blue/Gray-50Flats-CLOSED
• Hair-Banged Slick-Up-do Bun - Black-(NO)
• Hair scarf- Pixie Cut Bow Headband (tinted) - Lace (NO)

Hola! GOLA!

I always forget to credit the poses I use in my blog posts (apologies pose making geniuses) I am making amends by showing you a few of the great poses by Ransie2 Oleander.

Her store GOLA has a very nice selection of single and couples animations. Her latest releases are two pose huds. Each of the pose huds contains 10 poses which can be cycled through by clicking the forward/back arrow.

The poses in the first pic are from the 'Balloon Girl' hud and the second picture is showing poses from the 'School Girl' hud. A pose ball can also we rezzed directly from the hud which is pretty cool. If you are looking for some new poses check out GOLA. The hud packed with 10 poses cost a tiny 80L$.

52 Weeks of Colour-Iron

I seem to have acquired the ultimate accessory for this weeks challenge, got me some arm candy, man pixels. Lucky me *wink.

The dress I chose to wear is an oldie but goodie from Ibizarre. The texture of this dress is fabulous and incorporates a few shades that are in the 'iron' colour family. I tp'd over to Ibizarre to check that the dress was still available and wow! the store is much smaller than I remember (sign of the SL economy maybe) I didn't see the dress currently for sale in store.There are a few really cute things that are for sale though.

The 'updo' is from Damsel Fly, I like most of the hair attachments from Damselfly. A store always worth checking out if you want/need a messy updo.

Some bold jewellery from Mandala and the 'Kylie' shoes from Gaeline Creations completed my look for this weeks challenge.

Asia is wearing:

• Dress- Snake Mini Dress-Ibizarre
• Hair-Holliday-Black-*Holliday/Black Pearl-Damselfly
