52 Weeks of Color: #12 Taupe


I’ve heard that a lot of people hate taupe, but I actually love it.  I’m a huge fan of earth tones, and being able to color block with taupe this week has made me super happy.  Call me boring if you like, but I love a nice, clean look.  And I am really digging the uniformity of this look as well as the simple elegance of these pieces meshed together.  Also, I’m still fooling around with shadows, so don’t hate on my pictures while I figure out what the hell I’m supposed to be doing, k?

PF2010: Olive Juice

I have even more pose fair love for you today!  Olive Juice is seriously one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE pose shops on the grid, and I am always eager to see its new releases.  And the new sets available at Pose Fair 2010 are certainly no exception.  I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them, and I’m so excited to be able to show you a couple of new poses here.

Plastic Flowers That Fight for Color

I realized something about my blog today.  It’s supposed to be a reflection of me, yet I’ve completely abandoned one of the most significant parts of my life: music.  When I want to be alone, when I want to escape from everything that yesterday threw at me, music is my safe haven.  So I’m going to try to share a little bit more of myself with you here by incorporating some of the music that keeps me going.  I don’t have many words to share today, but one of my favorite songs as well as full style details for this look follow the cut.  The lyrics say plenty.

Snuggle Me

Something about this outfit, specifically the fuzzy coat, just makes me feel like I’d be the perfect candidate for warm snuggles.  Don’t I look so nice and toasty?  I first saw this awesome coat on Lizzie’s blog, and I immediately fell in love with it.  Truth be told, it’s one of my favorite items this winter, and I couldn’t resist using it to throw together a snuggly ensemble.

Struggling to Keep Warm

This look came about entirely by accident, but it’s very much a reflection of something I might wear to take my dogs for a walk these days.  You see… it’s so unbearably cold here in my little corner of the world… much colder than any winter I can ever remember having this far south.  And I’ll wear just about anything and everything to keep warm, even if it means I kind of look like a homeless person.  At least I’m warm and toasty underneath!  I’ll admit that there are very few “typically Alabamian” things about me, but whining about how cold it is right now is DEFINITELY one of them.

Formal Feature: (Musashi-Do)

Ever since Shiryu Musashi came back to the grid and started releasing new designs under his label, Musashi-Do, I have been captivated by his talent.  His textures are truly exceptional, and his eye for style is amazing.  And when I saw that he would be releasing this gorgeous Brocade Princess gown, I knew it would find its way to this blog sooner or later.  I even blew the dust off my male alt, gave him a bit of a makeover, and dressed him up in a fantastic tux from Musashi-Do, too!  Click through for more…

Heart Shaped Box

You may have noticed that I’ve been taking a lot of my photos in the same sim over and over again.  Well, that’s because I’ve found a new favorite sim, and the scenery there is so diverse that I’ve been able to showcase three different outfits in three different areas of the sim without overlapping much.  Ever since Tya Fallingbridge opened up her newly remodeled Pixel Dreams sim, also known as T-Town, I’ve been captivated by its beauty, quickly adopting it as my new favorite sim, my own heart-shaped box.

Sassy

I know you’ve probably already seen this skirt all over the feeds lately, but I loved it so much that I couldn’t resist building a look around it.  Zaara has always been one of my absolute favorite shops in SL, and her new releases still make me squeal.

Mixing the Good with the Bad

I love taking really frilly, feminine items and pairing them with items which are a bit rougher around the edges for a nice mixture of good and bad.  I’d say this look sort of represents my personality in a way: lots of layers, both tame and edgy.

Purple Is My Color This Season

This look started with a very pretty skirt from (MNK*Shop), which was a group gift.  I was so taken with the skirt that I tried it on in the store (yes, I’m guilty of this, lol), and I loved it so much that I bought the fatpack.  So, the skirt featured in this look is actually from the fatpack, and is not the group gift skirt, and it just goes to show you that sometimes freebies DO turn into viable sales.
