52 Weeks of Color: #3 Goldenrod

I’ll be honest… I struggled with this week’s color challenge a bit.  I started off with another outfit that ended up looking too much like mustard, so I scrapped it.  I was trying to stay away from lemon yellows and mustard yellows, so I experimented a bit and ended up with something a little gold-ish.  So yeah, I failed.  Big time.  Oh well.  I’m still determined to keep up with this weekly challenge, whether I fail or not.

In My Place: Minisode 1


I decorated this space for entry in the SL House & Garden Photo Contest, so I thought I’d post a little minisode with full details on my blog.  The theme of the contest was “Go Crazy with Color,” and my entry is not a winner by any means, but it was fun nonetheless.  (You can view all of the colorfully eye-popping contest entries here.)  A big thank you to Jennaa Loire for all she does for the grid in the name of house and garden, especially for her work with the fantastic SL House & Garden group in-world.  She is truly amazing, and if you love home decorating, join the group, and send her a little thank you for all her hard work.  She really deserves it!

In My Place: Episode 1

Something I really enjoy outside of fashion blogging in SL is decorating various houses and skyboxes lingering in my inventory.  I was home sick from work today, so I thought I’d do something a bit therapeutic and put my energy into decorating this awesome new gift skybox from **DP**yumyum.  It was a blast, and I’m pleased with the outcome.  I thought I’d share it all with you here, so there are tons of pics and full details after the cut.  Enjoy!

If I Kiss You Where It’s Sore

For some reason we’ve had just enough pleasant weather here to make me want to wear shorts in-world all the time.  So I apologize for the absurdity that is this outfit.  It might make absolutely no sense, but it’s pretty damn cute.  So there!

We Are Proudly Inappropriate

There’s nothing quite like a fun evening with friends to make everything better.  It had been ages since I just let loose and had some fun in SL, and I’ll admit… we had a blast!  Clem tasked me with keeping her out of trouble (which is not as easy as you might think!), so I recruited some help from Aldwyn, and the whole situation made for a great excuse to get together for a fun photoshoot featuring the awesome work of Gauge Laville, the mastermind behind + blacklisted +.  We cussed and sang and rocked out to 80′s tunes and laughed until we cried.  Yes, we were highly inappropriate, and proud of it!

Feeling Bashful

I basically have two schools of thought while getting dressed in SL.  Do I want to look cute?  Or do I want to look hot?  Most of the time I choose cute because I can’t really pull off a “hot” look.  But this look is cute to the extreme.  I love love love bashful pink hues, and this outfit is a mish-mash of adorable bashful goodness.

Review: [KA] SKINS BARDOT-Nora

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Kira Ahn’s gorgeous skins.  I have consistently found that [KA] SKINS give my avatar a unique look that sets me apart from other avatars, while giving me a distinctive sense of familiarity.  And right now, her gorgeous BARDOT-Vivienne is my go-to “ME” skin.  But I couldn’t resist trying her amazing new BARDOT-Nora, which I have been lusting after since I saw a yummy teaser a few weeks ago.  I’m always eager to try skins with freckles, and this one definitely hits the nail on the head.

The Cozy Life

I meant to get this look blogged before I left for Thanksgiving vacation, but my power went out as I was pulling together the style sheet, so I couldn’t crank the post out in time.  And since I haven’t been online since Thursday, it has taken me a few days to finally get this look blogged.  Anyway, I hope it was worth the wait.

Happy as a Lark

I love finding new designers and new stores to add to my ever-growing shopping list.  A new friend, Aisling MacMoragh, pointed me in the direction of {Lark}, a new-to-me shop owned by Sienia Trevellion.   And I’m so glad she did, because I am now in love with Sienia’s designs.  Thank you, Aisling and Sienia!

Autumn

With the arrival of October finally upon us, my RL community is seeing the beginning of Autumn weather.  However, the grass is still green, and the leaves haven’t yet started falling from the trees, so the grassy scene in this photo is a typical Autumn scene for me right now.  I came across a great blogger challenge, posed by Puma Jie, calling for favorite Autumn ensembles, and I couldn’t pass it up.  Autumn is my favorite season by far, and I knew that pulling together my first official look of Autumn would be a blast.  Thanks for the great challenge, Puma!
