52 Weeks of Color: #13 Emerald

I was pretty excited about this week’s emerald color challenge.  I am a May baby, therefore emerald is my birthstone.  Plus, being a redhead, emerald is definitely a good friend of mine.  However, my inventory didn’t have much emerald in it.  I had to really scour my inventory to find some good emerald pieces, but I also lucked into a fantastic new item that I’m so excited to share with you.

300 Posts Strong

This post marks my 300th blog post as an SL fashion blogger (not counting my work on the Second Style blog), and I really can’t believe I’ve made it to this point.  My first blog started as a fun little side project and was truly a feeble attempt at fashion blogging.  Then I joined Cerrie Janus on her awesome blog, Fashion Ascension, for several months before opening my own self-hosted WP blog here on this site nearly a year ago.  I’m just really excited that I have stuck with it this long, and I can honestly say that I still enjoy it and hope to be able to continue my work here for a very long time.  I owe an incredible amount of thanks to all of the amazing designers who generously share their talent with me and the rest of the fashion community, to my awesome fellow bloggers who inspire me everyday, and to anyone who happens to read my blog.  I never thought I would actually have any readers, but I’m so grateful to all three of you!  I hope you’ve enjoyed this little piece of my SLife, and I hope to be able to share even more of it with you in the future. *hugs for everyone*

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: -Belleza- Alyson

I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the new Alyson skin from -Belleza- to be released.  Tricky Boucher previously sent out a gorgeous gift to his group, which was a preview of Alyson, and I have been itching to get it since then.  I knew this would be the perfect skin for me.  I just knew it.  And it turns out that it’s also the perfect skin for redheads.  Hands-down. Bar none.  See for yourself — there’s plenty of yummy Alyson goodness after the cut…

No Strings Attached

-Veschi- just recently put out a ton of new releases, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on oodles and oodles of wonderful goodies.  This awesome No Strings Attached jacket is my favorite item of the bunch, but the other items are so fantastic that I plan to slowly incorporate the rest of them into future daily looks.  This outfit turned out to be a sort of color mish-mash, but I think the look turned out kinda cute and classy.

Stacie’s Strength

It has been my experience that we, as fashion bloggers, are truly blessed with wonderful, caring, talented, and extremely generous designers.  Honestly, without the designers and the amazing things they do for the fashion community, I wouldn’t have much to talk about in this silly little blog of mine.  So, it should come as no surprise that I, or we, might become accustomed to the status quo.  Spoiled, if you will.  Yet, there are also times when we’re totally blown away, caught off our guards, truly surprised by something.  And this is one of those times for me.

Ashoka Eales, of Phoenix Rising, surprised me with this amazing new set of outfits named Stacie’s Strength, in my honor.  Simply put, I am surprised, shocked, and blown away.  And to be honest, I’m so emotional right now that I’m struggling to write this blog post.  So please bear with me, because this topic touches very close to home for me.  Those of you who know me on a close, personal basis probably know why Ashoka might see something in me that most people don’t.  And to those of you who don’t really have a clue what I’m talking about, I apologize for being so vague.  However, I’d never want to be accused of flaunting my own disadvantage, so I’ll just leave it at that and show you the amazingly versatile stylings of Stacie’s Strength instead.

At Last

There are few days in SL which will ever be exciting as this one.  After idolizing my hair king for what seems like ages, Truth Hawks has seen fit to bless me with my own hairstyle.  And maybe to him my name is just another name among the thousands.  But for me, this means so much more, and I am beyond elated and flattered to finally have the official >TRUTH< Stacie hairstyle.  Simply put, this hairstyle is sassy and a little messy and really fits me and my personality like a glove.  I think it’s safe to say that I couldn’t be any more in love with it.  Truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart, Truth.

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.

I’m a Little Bit Country

I'm a Little Bit Country by Stacie Pryor.

Truth be told, I’m really not.  Not at all actually, even though I’ve been told I have a teeny tiny bit of a southern twang.  I usually try to avoid anything “country” related (especially the music), but this amazing shirt was too much for me to resist.  So here I am in all my country-fried glory.
