52 weeks of color - Yellow

I found this one hard as I hae very few yellow clothes - but here is what I found:




Skirt - Zaara - Trishana Print Skirt in Sunset

Cardigan - Luce. Yellow Cardigan - opening gift I think

Shoes - Zaara - Mojri shoes in saffron

Skin - Dutch Touch - Yri in caramel

Hair - Lamb - Wild Nothings in Sunset

"By Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Worvan, you shall be avenged. "

Umm yeah sorry for the title but this outfit from Mimikiri made my brain attack me with quotes from "Galaxy Quest"!!!



The skirt, top and jacket all all from the Holly range Mimikiri - top and skirt in the version Galaxy - and Jacket in Black. I think it is a lovely set - now all I need to do is find some nice Christmas parties where they serve plum pudding :)

I had been trying to do the 52 weeks of color challange today - but all the "plums" in my inventory are of various shades of some sort of purplish from lilac to dark purple so I am counting the hair I am using in this post as my "plum challange" - it is from Boon and is in Purple - but it looks like a deep victoria plum shade to me - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

The skin is from Dutch Touch - Yri in Caramel - winter make up

Boots are from G Field - short lace up boots - I have the fat pack of these and they are lovely - actually I have these in plum but I liked the black with my outfit better.

Tights - Ugly Duck - 10 denier tights

Lashes - Bukka Eye Lush Changer (speaking of Bukka - new item in LB - a tunic - I'm go to go stalk in a moment)

Lipstick - Dutch Touch in PLUM yay more plum

Freckles - Tres Bla

Pose and Set by Modd G - free (pose modded using avimator to move hair out of chest)

Goldenrod - Week 3 52 Weeks of Color - Luna Jubilee Challenge

Skin - Dutch Touch - Yri - Cotton - Basic
Lipstick - Dutch Touch - natural gloss
Eyeshadow - Glamorize - Soft Gold
Liner - Glamorize - smokey
Sweater - Jane - aviator sweater in Honey
Hoodie Knit Vest - And Count - Argyle in yellow (gacha)
Tights - Ugly Duck - Nerd
Shoes - Maitreya - Neyya Toe Cap Shoes in Golden
Freckles - Hundreds and Thousands - Mynerva
Bag - Septum Essentia - Croco in Brown (free)
Skirt - Mocha - Traditional Plaid Pleated Yellow Skirt
Necklace - Happy Finds - Owl Necklace

Taking a deep breath and delving into my inventory!

I expect loads of you are like me in that we buy sooo many things, do hunts, get group gifties etc and never get around to wearing half the stuff in our inventory. My inventory management is non existant and my linden balance very low!

Sooo I have decided to make an effort to go each day into my inventory and make an outfit from things I already have - well this is the plan but I bet I still shop more!

Today here is what I pulled out of the wreckage:



The top is from Line - I got this at DU4 - I bought both black and white - have previously worn the white but forgot about the black!

The skirt is a group gift from Coco - Coco is a great group - many gifts and they stay up in store on a wall for ages so you dont miss them.

The shoes are Maitreya - shanti - I bought the fat pack at the 50% off sale and I do wear them a lot

The skin is from Dutch Touch - it is Yri in caramel - I was tempted to buy the V2 Joilie skins today - but I have them in the V1 in fat pack in 2 tones so I resisted. Anyway, it is possible to revamp skins now with all the wonderful makeups in tattoo layers :)

Talking of which I am wearing Glamorize soft smoke eyeshadow in soft gold and Glamorize eyeline in Supercat. Also wearing Cheap makeup lashes - tattoo layer and Prim Lashes by Glow Studio - innocent.

The hair base is from Dekade and so is the Hair Attachment

The lipstick is from Mynerva - Plum

The pearls are from Deco

The ring - I love this ring - is from Paper Couture and is called Water over Wine

Nails are from SLink

Eyes are from Poetic Colors

Pose is from Exposure

Now off to see if I can find the Rocking Friday item at Action - I couldnt see it earlier and I love Action so want to know what it is :)

Emery and Tiny Bird

Sorry, can't think of a title - my brain won't come to the computer, it is still asleep.



I love the jacket from Emery at the Dressing Room Blue - nice for a smart but casual look. I am wearing it with the 50L friday hair from Tiny Bird, Boots from Maitreya, Sweater from Maitreya (yes haven't changed my sweater from the last post !!) and the Jeans are from Fri.day - these were free from the Fri.day product sample pack. Skin is by Dutch Touch.

Falling out ...

... with either my computer or LL!! Not sure what is going on but I cannot seem to stay on without crashing every 20 mins or so and the only viewer over the last 24hrs I can seem to stay on for even that length of time is the SL viewer 2 .. sighs



But on a happy note Izumiya has some really cute things in store for very little $L :)
Such as this skirt - it comes in 3 lengths in the pack - love it. Also this sweater - really nicely made and loads of detail and was cheap - cant remember how much but neither the skirt set nor the sweater were over $100L.

The hair is from Aoharu with color change head scarf

Skin is Dutch Touch

The lovely necklace is from Kunglers - at Modavia Fashion Week

Boots are from Bax - loves Bax boots

Wool Tights from Mimikri

Thin Blue Line

I have had these "Brit Pants" from LeeZu in my inv for a while now but never seemed to be able to find a top to wear with them - until DU4 where I found this = Amyp top by :::Line::: that I think works :). The pants are really nice and the prim parts fit well on my shpae - no adjustment at all (yay - cause I am a lazy adjuster)

The belt, necklace and earings are from Mandala

Skin by Dutch Touch

Hair by Boon

Shoes by Maitreya

Tell me about the waters of your home world, Usul ...

Having tried viewer after viewer since the demise of Emerald I finally think I have found the one I like for photographs - Kirstens Viewer. I found Imprudence good for a lot of things - but I crashed all the time on high rez pics, Emergence and Phoenix were slow and laggy for me - so Kirsten's it is. I must admit it will take me some time to get used to it - but I love the shadows feature - and it seems stable :)

Anyway, I was going to try to take a load of pictures at a desert sim - Dune RP based - I was just messing about with the sky settings and taking some shots when a Sand Worm came and killed me and I was TP'd home lol.

So I got one shot and it is not the greatest but I'm going to keep working with this until I can get better shots.

Well onto the one picture I took:



I have been to hair fair a couple of times - really people ditch the scripted objects and uber primmy hair and clothes - no one is looking at you - honest - we are all too busy trying to see a vendor which wont rez because of all the lag!!!!

I love the Exile dreads - I got two packs, one in Dark Browns and one in Dark Blondes.

The picture above is one of the Dark Blonde shades. I am also wearing a cardigan from Pig (I relented and bought one of the spring timeish items from DU4), Chinos from Shampoo, Undershirt from Miel, Skin from Dutch Touch and the cute bag is from Deco - I love this - it also has a paper plane attachment - the plane is scripted to kill - oh why did I not fling one at the dratted worm????

Feeling Flouncy

I was in a get all dressed up, albeit with nowhere to go, mood today and this skirt (part of a full outfit from Paper Couture was the starting point to my outfit. I added the belt from Maitreya's High Waist Skirt in Raven, LeeZu's Valerie Blouse in Black, Timeless Hair in Softest Black from Clawtooth, Yri in Coffee - Dreamy Make Up,the shoes are also from Maitreya, tights from Ugly Duck and to finish off the hat is also from Paper Couture.

Skating ahead!

So yesterday I was "looking forward" to autumn/winter and here I am today rushing headlong into snow and ice in SL.



I adore this Shearling Coat from Dela - so cosy.
The hat with hair is from Reek - I am also wearing little mittens from Reek but they are hidden in my coat!
The skirt is from Mimikri - Luisa Leather Skirt in Grey
Top is from RunoRuno - it was free at "It's a blur" event
The skin is from Dutch Touch - Yri Caramel - Winter make-up
and the great ice skates are from Bax - they come with a skating AO

Looking forward

While many of the summer fashions in SL this year have been wonderful, I am now looking forward to the autumn and winter seasons. I have started my shopping already and have found some things that I really like. For this post I have selected some items in warm browns.



Credits:

Skin - Dutch Touch - Jolie Smokey in Caramel

Pants - LeLutka Wool Pants - these look great and the prims match in wonderfully without any lumps that I sometimes find in prim legs - the only thing is that I think these pants were made before one did not have to tint prims grey to make them match with the clothing layer - so they needed modified back to no additional colour.

Boots - Bax - this picture does not show these boots up well at all - and for this I apologise. These boots are amazing - they are Bax Ankle boots. This is the brown suede pack and it gives you the option of 4 main shades of brown - and just about every part is texture change - oh and you can have fur tops on or off! So this is like having loads of sets of boots all in one - a real bargain.

Hair - Clawtooth

Belt - Maitreya

Top - Maitreya - this comes with 3 different coloured undershirts - the back of the sweater is semi open and shows the nice undershirts.

Glasses - Soviet Sleeper Glasses from Deco - I love these - they dont "do" anything - but I still love them :)

Necklace - Travellers Charms - Yummy

Time is running out!

If you have not managed to get over to Maitreya for the 50% off sale yet, keep trying - time is running out and the sale ends on 22nd.

There are so many lovely clothes, shoes and hairs at Maitreya that I am sure nearly everyone will find something (or many things) they want to buy at the sale.

In this post I am showing a nice retro look - I am really into this style at the moment.



The hair and hat (with veil) are from Clawtooth - this is one of the $75L packs Bubbles is offering at the moment - they are from last year's hair fair - this style is called "timeless" and I think it is beautiful.

The skirt is from Maitreya, Highskirt in Aqua

Shoes also from Maitreya, Shanti in Dark Ecru

The beautiful blouse is Valerie from LeeZu - be aware this is a sheer blouse but can be made opaque by wearing it on more than one layer. The ruffle at the neck is really nicely made.

Skin by Dutch Touch - Jolie Smokey SMooth in Caramel

Eyes - Night Rain by Poetic Colors

The necklace is Travellers' Charms by Yummy

Bangle and nails by Mandala

Life's a beach!

I haven't blogged for ages - yet I have shopped sooo much - and of course my inv is now such a mess I can hardly remember what I bought and where I put it!

Anyway one of the many things I have bought is the 4 new sets of photography props from Virtual Props and Poses. Until the end of this week there is a special offer on where one can purchase a set of four beachy type props with tons of poses for a special price of L$3k. The sets are Beach, Lost, Fireflies and Volleyball.

Below I am showing a picture from Lost and Beach - no doubt I will be using the other props and showing more poses from these sets over time.
