Project FUR Japan - The Rabbicats

2011-04-08T21:49:00.000+01:00

I visited Project FUR Japan again yesterday and gathered a few more goodies to tease you all in case you haven't visited already. Today I bring one of these incredibly cute things I was telling you about on my first post: The Rabbicats. Before you lave the blog let me tell you I am not trying to get you all into any more breedables, nooooo! This time the little things need no food or Barry White music, don not fear!!

The Rabbicats are the little puppets on the latest pose set created by the talented Arisia Ashmoot of Body Talking for the Project FUR Japan event, a set of five poses that match the five different Rabbicats included on the set. Aren't they cute??

On the pictures I am also wearing other Project FUR Japan items such as the Luka hair by Kavar Cleanslate from Exile, the Sakura Tee in white by Ziekling Bunnyhug from Esk-Imo and of course these adorable Cat Sneakers by Sookie Slafford from Kitty Cattery you just need to get, I don't think you have any other shoes with tail, ears and whiskers, at least I didn't!!.

Project FUR Japan - KittyCats

2011-04-06T18:04:00.001+01:00

I think you all know I am a crazy cat lady already, breeding all my cute KittyCats and not being able to separate from them got me stuck in a house full of kittens I have to cuddle all day long, but as soon as I arrived to the Project FUR Japan sim and I saw was this huge statue of a family of perfect and detailed porcelain cats created by the KittyCats team for this special event I just had to get them.

I actually got two different kittens: One Kibo Neko Hope Cat, the one with red ears and collar, which is for sale at Project FUR Japan with 100% proceeds being donated to JEARS to help save the lost and hurt animals of the Japanese people and one Yuki Neko Courage Cat, which is the one with yellow ears and collar, for sale at the KittyCats main store and whose proceeds will go towards charity for the Japanese People.

These pretties have special eyes, special collars and they also feature a never before shown Porcelain shade. Each cat comes with Kitty Kibble for one week and are sold as a single cat with a random gender. I got two boys, if anyone has one girl that want to trade , let me know!

Project FUR Japan

2011-04-05T01:20:00.003+01:00

Project FUR Japan is a new event created to raise funds for Japan Earthquake Animal and Rescue (JEARS) a coalition of three No-Kill animal welfare organizations who are helping the thousands of animals lost and/or injured during the tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Hundreds of SL designers have created special items or placed some of their favourite creations for sale at the Plumhill Sim (graciously donated by LeLutka) and thanks to all of their 100% donation items and the hard work of dedication of the mind behind this idea, Blazin Aubret and her partner Tristan Careless, over two and a half million lindens have been raised already in only two days.

Two and a half million lindens looks like a huge amount until you arrive to The Sim and see all the awesome items designers have donated for this event. They should have a message pop when you arrive that says: Fair warning: Cuteness overload ahead because believe me that place is full of candy! Not only you can find clothing, hair and shoes from your favourite designers but there are also breedables exclusives from both Ozimals bunnies and KittyCats kittens, Neko fashion, all kinds of animal accessories, every single kind of pet you can look for (even a rock pet o.O) skyboxes and houses, gardening stuff and of course more tiny-cute-little-pretty-things than you could ever imagine. That place is full of pandas, enough said!!

Again, like I stated in my first post about Fashion for Life, I lack the skills to design anything in SL so the only way I can participate is promoting all the wonderful creations available at the event, therefore, for the next few days I will be showcasing here some of my favourites items at Project FUR Japan hoping that you love them as much as I do and run to grab them all before the event is over. We all know how much animals do for us, it's time to give back. If they could ask for help I am sure they would too.

Pose Fair 2011 - Twiggy by Body Talking

2011-04-02T23:39:00.001+01:00

Pose Fair 2011 opened yesterday and I can tell you that this place is heaven!!! There are over 100 pose and animation stores, many I didn't even know before and even if I could only take a quick look on this trip I already know I am going to be raiding that place for the rest of the month until I get them all. Sim was so packed yesterday that lag was an absolute killer so I decided to quickly grab only one set and run away to blog about the fair opening so lag is even worse tomorrow ... erm... whatever.

To start my review I have chosen this set from Body Talking called Twiggy. I just felt in love with it as soon as Ari posted the pictures on plurk, not only because I absolutely admire Twiggy for all she has done for the fashion industry but also because there is a huge lack of model poses wearing purses or bags and I find myself not wanting to add some accessories to my looks just because I know they will make posing on the runway or taking the pictures even harder than usual.

Since I also had my hair cut exactly like this one from Elikatira on Thursday I decided to make some mix and match outfits with a slight Twiggy inspiration, simple things that I like to wear RL or would like to wear if I had all the clothes I have in SL in my real closet. Do you all dream about that too or is it just me?

I would also like to point out that you don't need to wear a purse or bag to use the poses, some of them work also if you want to show for example a piece of jewelry, another accessory or like I did on the picture below, to pose for high waisted skirts or dresses with prim attachments on waist and hips that are probably the harder to find original poses for.

To make it even better all poses on set have the reflected version making it 20 poses total, twenty fabulous and original poses you just need to complete your collection. And now let's start with the credits, this is going to be really painful!

Baiastice New Hair attachments

2011-03-30T12:50:00.000+01:00

On my last post I already told you Sissy Pessoa from Baiastice had released her new collection of hair attachments and teased you with one of my favourites called Dolly. Today I am going to show you another 9 gorgeous styles available on this very complete collection of sexy ponytails, glamorous updos, rocky crests and stylish cuts. To spicy it up a little bit, since I wrote my first tutorial on how to easily edit your lashes last week, I decided to mix them with different lashes just to show you some more options, hope you enjoy them.

1. Baiastice Yodi in blonde with Glow Studio Devilicious eyelashes

2. Baiastice Big Crest in black with Glow Studio Innocent eyelashes gentle

3. Baiastice Alec in red with Glow Studio Innocent eyelashes pure

4. Baiastice Fujiko in black with FNKY Cake Vamp lashes

5. Baiastice Crest in red with FNKY Cake Wing lashes

6. Baiastice Miranda in brown with FNKY Cake Deco lashes

7. Baiastice Billy in brown with LeLutka 2011 lashes

8. Baiastice Great Night in red with CCD Jewels eyelashes

9. Baiastice Rosario in blonde with LeLutka photoshoot eyelashes

If you are worried about the attachments not matching your skin don't fear, hair bases in tattoo form are also available on store in 12 different colours to fit all different tastes. Besides that hairs are also modify, so small tone modifications can be made if your hair color is slightly different than the ones available. For example in the first picture I added pink undertones to the base red peach hair to finish off my Rihanna look.

LOTD - GizzA and Baiastice

2011-03-25T23:30:00.001Z

It is no secret I am a big fan of Gizza designs but honestly,I think Giz Seorn has outdone herself this time. Amorah 2 has not only the realistic textures and good cut we expect from Gizza but also perfectly well finished sculpties and lots of little details that made this piece an instant favourite as soon as I saw it on the store poster.

To make my day perfect Sissy Pessoa fromBaiastice also released her new collection of hair attachments and of course there you had me drooling at the posters and getting them all . As always they are all fabulous, from the classy updo's to the fancy ponytails, there are also some punk inspired crests and cuts but to match this unique design I had to chose the truly artistic Dolly that gives the whole look a final mysterious allure.

Red is the color of hope!

2011-03-24T00:29:00.001Z

Yes, I know the color of hope is actually green, but this beautiful dress from Azul called Esperanca, despite being red, is a fabulous way to give hope to those in need and raise money for the Red Cross which is scaling up its relief operations to help meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of survivors who are now housed in evacuation centers following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Hair is my long time favourite Tiffany from Vanity Hair, nails are number P060 Manish Red from Candy Nails and both earrings and eyelashes come from je suis... by Julia Merosi. I have used the ones with cute red hearts but you can find these four different designs on store and these lashes are the easy to fit ones that you can move prim by prim to fit your eyes. In order to help your lashes fit perfectly I also wrote a small adjusting lashes tutorial for those who may need it, you can read it clicking here.

How to fit your prim eyelashes.

2011-03-24T00:28:00.003Z

Cake eyelashes.

Fitting prim lashes seems to be a common problem for a lot of residents out there so I have decided to write a very small lashes tutorial to share with you all. Please understand this is how I do it, I am sure there are many other ways to make prim lashes work and I am also sure there are very good tutorials out there but I have found this way to be very easy because I change my lashes frequently and I lack the patience to edit them to perfection every time I wear them.

1. Make a copy of your lashes first.

2. Make sure you made a copy of your lashes.

3. Wear a alpha layer to hide SL default lashes. (I use the alpha layers from Sindecade) *

4. Wear a tattoo eye-liner. You can go dramatic at this point but it is very important that you have upper and lower eyelid line so you have a place to position your lashes at. (I use the pack from Baiastice which includes several eyeliners with and without tattoo lashes for a more dramatic final effect).

LeLutka photoshoot II lashes natural and with alpha layer and eyeliner.

5. Wear your lashes, get on a pose stand, click ctrl+0 until you are inside your brain and start editing your lashes heavily using edit linked parts. Move them up and down, back and forward but avoid rotating unless you are avid for adventure.

6. When you think they are perfect, zoom around and discover they are still pretty weird. Get back on the posestand and continue editing, zooming and rotating your camera until they are perfect.

7. Read 6 again. Please. Thank you. Remember if you screw up you can always do Ctrl+z do undo last step. In case you screw up badly delete and go back to step 2.
8. There are different kinds of prim lashes. The ones that have an alpha texture plus and the lashes texture on them, for example LeLutka old version, FNKY Cake or Glow lashes are usually bigger and more dramatic and these lashes are easier to adjust if you use a good eye liner that fills the empty spots they may leave on your eyelids border. Then we have fully sculpted prim eyelashes which I find easier to adjust for beginners because you just need patience to edit prim by prim but they end up looking perfect, examples are je suis..., CCD jewels and the new LeLutka 2011. Choosing one or another depends on your style and personal taste but also on your eye shape, since some lashes will be easier to adjust for certain eyes.

Je suis lashes 1 and 2 with alpha layer and eyeliner.

9. When you are done remember to manually detach your prim lashes and attach them again, this way you make sure SL saves the prims position and they will be ready next time you want to use them.

10. Enjoy, beautiful detailed perfectly fitted eyelashes.

Baiastice eyeshadow + Baiastice tattoo lashes + Baiastice eyeliner + Je suis... lashes.

I don't care what they say out there, prim lashes when fitted correctly, always look way better than tattooed ones. What I do sometimes is wear both tattoo and prim lashes, which makes your eyes gain depth and every single spot is filled making your eyes look really beautiful. For some dramatic effects I also wear 2 different prim lashes together, attaching one to nose and the other one to mouth.

Also remember that if you wear an eye-shadow without eye-liner on v2.0 you can add a liner layer over it in order to make your lashes fit perfectly, but you need to add that layer AFTER the shadow and not before it, like I did on the picture above.

I hope you have found my first tutorial useful and easy to follow and for those of you who were afraid or scared of using prim lashes before I also hope you will at least give them a try now.

*EDIT 1: Adding a help on how to use Trins Alpha layers.

You need to grab the "Trins Alpha Layer Set Pro" from Sindecade store. First make a copy of the alpha layer given and rename it for example "no lashes" wear it and then right click and choose edit. Once the edition window opens just click on HEAD ALPHA square and choose the alpha texture from your Trins folder called: Alpha Mask - Head 0 (hide eyelashes) yes the square should be black. Save and Exit. Now you have your No lashes alpha layer ready to use whenever you need it.Please remember that if you are already using an alpha layer on, for instance, your boots, you can still right click and select ADD to wear both alpha layers on any v2.0 compatible viewer.

Fashion for Life is the fashion arm of the Relay for Life movement in Second Life supporting the American Cancer Society, the formerly known as RFL Clothing Fair, but now directly supported by ACS. This year the fair includes not only clothing designers but also skins, eyes, tattoos, hair, shoes and much more... and since its directly supported by SL and the organization is entirely volunteer driven, 100% of the funds raised are presented as a charitable donation to ACS from the residents of Second Life.

This year the fair is held along 9 different sims, each of them sponsored by a different SL brand or company and built following this year’s theme “Beyond Black and White,” embodying the spirit of cancer survivors everywhere as they find hope rising out of the dark diagnosis of cancer, by some of the best architects in Second Life.

Avedon, sponsored by Bliss Couture and built by Cierra Anatine.

Ansel Adams, sponsored by Designing Nicky Ree and built by Frederick Lancaster.

Shulman, sponsored by :. WoE .: and built by Nigel Riel.

Stieglitz, sponsored by House of RFyre and built by Grace Loudon.

Helmut Newton, sponsored by KMadd Enterprises/MADesigns and built by Raven Haalan and Kell Babenco.

Bourke White, sponsored by [Elikatira] and built by Syngen Sohmers.

Arbus, sponsored by Evie’s Closet and built by Dream Resistance.

Irving Penn, sponsored by LaPointe and Bastchild and built by Syngen Sohmers.

Mapplethorpe, sponsored by FallnAngel Creations and built by Eshi Otawara.

Shulman, sponsored by :. WoE .: and built by Nigel Riel.

There is also a big list of VIP Sponsors that includes: Aleida Designs, Alienbear's, arcspace.com, Azul, Beau Bodyshop, The Best of SL Magazine, Blacklace, EMO-tions, G Field, Fashion Boulevard, Gutterpup, Kungler's, LeeZu!, Logo, Morea Style, PurpleMoon, Sophistishapes, Surreal Estates, Tres Beau and Organica.

Regarding designers,you can view a list of the participants in Fashion for Life by sim here, but of course I recommend you to visit each and every single sim and check out for the many beautiful creations they have designed following the "beyond black and white " theme to benefit Relay For Life.

Sadly I lack the skills to design anything in SL, the only way I can participate is promoting all the wonderful creations available at the fair, therefore, for the next few days I will be showcasing here some of those items raising money to benefit the American Cancer Society, it's your turn to go shopping!

KittyCats or The Story of how I became a crazy cat lady

2011-03-08T20:11:00.001Z

My Second Life has changed greatly during the last month, and no I didn't get married, don't panic. In Spain we have a saying that would translate as " Do not spit up or it will end up falling on your face" ... ok that wasn't nice ... but it is actually about not saying up loud you will never do something because you will end up doing it real bad.

KittyCats Store Cat

Since I came back to SL I had profusely rejected doing two things: having a house (not that I did like that before) and breeding pets. I am too lazy to decorate a house, I have always lived in simple skyboxes with many pose-stands and lots of pictures on the walls; and even though I liked those bunnies and horses I found them a waste of money, how can someone have the patience to breed horses in SL? ... There went my spit...

KittyCats Store Set "shabby tabbbys" by Aurora Jacks.

On February I saw a notice at the fashion bloggers group inviting us to the preview of a new breedable pet store opening and well... there I went. Big mistake.... BIG MISTAKE !!! I instantly fell in love with these cute little things, if they were a little bit sweeter I would just die. There I met KittyCats head CSR Kitten Longmeadow who was really patient answering my questions while lots of cute kitties where running, pawing at our feets, sleeping and even chasing butterflies around us. Since I work in quality control IRL customer support is really important to and I have to say I think the KittyCats Team are lucky to have Kitten.

Kitten Longmeadow surrounded by cuteness.

The biggest surprise was when my friend caLLie cLine confessed me she was the artist behind this sweeties fur . Uh oh! that means I have someone to scream at if something goes wrong? I'll buy 15, thanks!! *giggles* Luckily I have to say I have not bothered Callie so far, and the only time I had an issue (don't purchase things when your inventory is still loading boys and girls, SL loves to eat incoming stuff) Kitten suggested me to fill a ticket at their website and it was solved within hours, just another reason I am so happy with my adorable KittyCats !

KittyCats Store Garden Happy Cat

So I said to myself, well getting a couple won't hurt, I bought a boy and girl pack that only costed 599L$ and comes with food for 1 week and ran to my skybox to open. But while the little boxes were there jumping on the floor making kitty noises waiting for them to be to born I realized my empty white skybox wasn't appropriate enough for baby kitties to be raised, so I had to go out and find a house for them. As I said before I am too lazy to decorate myself, but there are designers, like Ravyn Hynes from Mudhoney, that think on lazy people like me and make fully furnished houses, ready to be rezzed with one click of the mouse.

This beautiful gazebo is absolutely perfect for me and my kitties. It is full of little details but also had room for all the cute furniture I bought for my adorable new friends. Bizcochito ( little sponge cake) was my first kitty, he is a smokey with meadow curious eyes and his favourite spot is the big lounger, he bathes himself on the cushions and usually sleeps on the big soft blanket.

Bizcochito sleeping on the lounger.

Magdalena (Cupcake), Bizcochito partner, is a Domino with sunshine curious eyes. She is a true princess and never sleeps in any other place that her sweet Cottage Cat Basket I found at What Next, she walks over it for minutes long until she decides its perfectly ready for he curves and then takes a cute kitty nap.

Magdalena in her cottage cat basket from What Next.

But this would't be a true crazy cat lady story if I had just stopped at 2 cats right? I didn't, of course I didn't. One week after store opening KittyCats released their Valentines special edition kitties and, of course, I just had to have one. I got a beautiful purple lady with purple heart eyes, I called her Purpurina (Glitter) and again I couldn't just stop there and found her this handsome Diamond fur and Earth eyes partner who's name is Copito (snowflake). They love to play oh their Banesworth Anubis's cat tree, which is also for sale at KittyCats store.

Purpurina and Copito at their cat tree.

After some sickness issues (they get so cute when they are sick, sleeping covered by a blanket) and some milk purchase the miracle happened. Magdalena and Copito reached 100% love and had their first baby, and OMG I was extremely lucky, I got one of the most rares, she is a beautiful Bengal Sorell with meadow curious eyes and plush tail and she is my cutieeeeeee!

Bengalita , my precioussssss.

Bengalita felt quite lonely because she had no other kitten to play with so I had to go out and find her a little friend to play with. Blue eyed cutie is another domino, because I just love cats with socks, but with precious blue eyes. He has chosen my lovely grooming station from Kitty Cattery as his favourite place to play all the time, I really think he's trying to tell me something and I would tell that paw gel bottle was full yesterday...uhm...

Blue eyed cutie wants to be groomed.

So this is it, this is the story of how I became a crazy cat lady with a fully decorated house, right on my face. I am waiting for the next kitten from Magdalena and Bizcochito to get out of the box asI write this so I'm sure you will have news from me soon, and more kitty pictures, of course.

Talk to you soon.

The crazy cat lady!

Kitty Cattery is another place full of lovely accessories to pamper your kittycats a little more, they have beds, cat tress, mice toys and even litter boxes. They have a gift basket with lots of cute items for your kitties so if you are either a kittie lover or you are planning to adopt one make sure you visit their store.

This lovely cottage basket comes with many different cushion textures that you can change and a hanging fashion feline photo frame. I am happy one of my favourite furniture designers is making kitty stuff too. I hope she surprises us with more kitty stuff soon!

Seriously, I just love this building: modify, copy, fully furnished, one click rezz and its so beautiful!!!

Cat tree, food, milk and kitties from KittyCats main store.
Make sure you visit even if you don't want kitties, the building is fabulous and the sim is simply stunning, great place to take picture.s

My skin, as usual, is Marina and the outfit is the Bexley suit, both from Baiastice by Sissy Pessoa. The lovely blonde hair is one of the new releases from LeLutka, Thora got me even more broke than the kitties, and that's saying a lot!!

Marina Skin Line and lots of make-ups !

2011-03-03T21:59:00.006Z

I know everyone has been posting about their favourite skins during the past weeks because of Vanity Universe Skin Fair and all the beauties available there. I am not the first one to blog Baiastice latest skin line "Marina", I have read fabulous reviews and seen fantastic pictures from some of the best bloggers on the feeds: Aloma Sands, Beyonce Aurotharius, Deeta Aeon, Gidge Uriza, Keira Seerose, Nadja Baxter and Sassy Scarborough, and there are probably many more I have missed, but I just had to share my love for this extremely beautiful skin and the only way I know to do it is posting some more pics!

Marina is available in 7 different skin tones: milk, porcelaine, pale, peach, sunkiss, tan and dark and they include different hair bases (blonde, brown, red and black), optional pubic hair in the same tones, optional extreme cleavage and 3 different eyebrows. You will also find different packs for sale at the store: Collection pack that includes skin base plus 5 more make-ups, Additional pack with 6 different make-ups, Selection pack with skin base, day make-up (Nr 5) and night make-up (Nr 10)- I call this one pink lovers pack - and the I-want-it-all-kktnxbye Fatpack.

But that's not all, Sissy Pessoa has also released a HUGE collection of tattoo layer make-ups for all the 2.0 lovers. 14 different sets of eyeshadows from thin electric eyeliners to huge leaf diffuse shadows, even some 70's inspired colorful eyeshadows. 8 different sets of lipsticks: glossy, natural, elegant, casual and some oriental designs. Full face makeups for those who doesn't have multiple layers viewers, more than 12 different black eyeliners with and without lashes and blush in both soft and hard versions for those very dramatic looks.

With all these different mix and match options you have THOUSANDS of different possibilities. I am going absolutely crazy every time I change my outfit now, I spend hours and hours mixing and matching eyeliners, eyeshadows, lashes, blushes, lipsticks and lipgloss oh and beauty marks ... I just wish I had all this in RL too... *sighs*

And of course there are many many more, as many as you can imagine, and Sissy keeps releasing more every week, there is also a free gift in store for the dramatic look lovers, it's called Black Swan. I going back on my Mudhoney bathtub and relax a bit after all this mix and matching, I'll leave you with some credits.

As you can see I have decided to include designers names on my credits as suggested by a fellow plurker friend, yeah I know it takes a bit longer but in the future if a store changes its location you can always find it on the creator profile, or at least bug him/her for the LM. Thanks for the advice Inex!!

Thank you also to my lovelyYuuki Breen for being my photoshop victim. Thanks for your patience and the good laughter, I love you to pieces tesorito.

Shopping in gowns

2011-01-28T21:32:00.001Z

I remember someone saying on plurk the other day she was shopping on gowns, If I recall correctly her actual words were something like "one of those girls shopping in gowns" and I couldn't but think to myself, well because You can !!! There is nothing wrong in shopping in a gown, I prefer to watch you shopping in a beautiful gown than all these shiny boobies, open pants showing something I don't really need to see from you, or even worse those really low cut pants fashion that started showing the top of your bootie and I don't know how, ended up under it ... Please I know these are "coolz" but NOT for shopping you know??? kkthxbb.

Osram in Lilac

If you know me you know how fond I am of dressing like a princess. I love evening dresses and gowns more than jeans in SL. I think it has something to do with the very few chances I get to wear those in my RL and probably also has something to do with Baiastice and Sissy's ability to make the most wonderful gowns in SL. How could I resist wearing them all the time?

Osram Colours

So this week I had another "I feel like a princess" attack and decided I would be wearing gowns all the time again, therefore here is a big post about the latest Baistice gowns released so you can go around shopping in a gown too, that way I won't feel alone and we will be all helping the fashion community and all that shameless excuses we use for doing what we feel is not exactly right. *giggles*

Queen of myself in white

Were you one of those girls that only wanted the Barbie with the biggest dress? I was!!. I didn't want any kind of casual clothes, my mom could make those for me (she did all kinds of clothes for my dolls actually), but no, I wanted the one with the huge pink dress and if possible with a crown and staff included YAY!!!

Queen of myself colours

Then I grew up watching all these top models and fashion shows, loving each and every single couture collection that was released, but shopping only for casual and business clothing. I just wish I had a reason to buy one of these RL, I never buy anything I am not going to use, of course I have a few dresses I have bought to attend to weddings or baptisms but I just wish I had a chance to wear one of these huge gowns in RL, shopping for them must be really fun !!!

Isabel in White

I even managed to snap one picture during one of my travels in a gown. This is Costa Rica Ladies' Society Botanical Garden, I could not find a better location to shoot this beautiful gown that was designed for Miss Costa Rica Reign Congrejo to wear at the latest Miss Virtual World Peageant. I am ready to go dancing, anyone?!?

Isabel Colours

And lets go with the credits, wish you all a happy shopping !!!

Hair: Lamb Lover in Ink
Ring: Paper Couture Everbloom ring

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Week 10 Sienna

2011-01-14T23:57:00.001Z

I am sooooo happy with the latest 52 weeks of color challenge pick: SIENNA, Yay!! one color I even use and should have plenty on my inventory...or not? ... Well I actually had to cheat a itte bit frmthis one, no Photoshop cheating, no, but I had to recolour some of my items in-world to make them fit the look, but overall this one has been easier for me that for example all these pinks and bright colors I rarely use.

The styling started from this Whippet & Buck vest that I discovered while visiting the store for last week's 50 Linden Friday (I recommend you to follow Luna's blog to know what's next weeks's colour so you can check while shopping around hehe). Then a quick search for sienna in my inventory revealed this Baiastice's pale sienna Lesley dress from where I got the top and then, I ran out of ideas. I started trying on like 20 different pants and several skirts, but I like one tone looks and when i realized my new Fishy Strawberry Porcelain ruffled skirt was modify I managed to add a bit more of burnt orange to it's original colour to make it fit my sienna vest and make a perfect match. To finish the look I only added RunoRuno Knit Stockings, an also recoloured Kyoot Soft warm neck wrap and my new and beloved Maitreya Shearling boots ( *drools*) and off to take some pics!!

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Silver

2011-01-08T03:11:00.000Z

Yay I made it !!! Its almost Saturday but I sienna challenge is not out yet sooooooo... I am not late for this week's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge, woot ! I read a plurk from Luna this afternoon saying she was shopping for sienna and I almost died, I even cried on her timeline, I couldn't believe I was late again just because technology hates me. I have been trying to take this picture for 3 days, and I am not kidding. People on the [JP] sims may think I am one of the bot-residents because I have been standing there with all my shopping bags trying to take this picture and crashing every single time, and every single time....

I don't know what happens to my SL but trust me when I say it has it's own mind. It has now decided that shadows will no longer work....all of a sudden... and maybe it is also true I am not very tech savvy but come on all of a sudden? SL just hates me, but that's not news; so I had to steal hubby VAIO and install Kirstens on it so I could finally manage to take a decent picture with shadows, but at the end I have to say it was worth all the trouble because I am quite proud of it (insert proud emote here).

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Trying to catch up - Week 8: Green

2011-01-05T23:25:00.000Z

I have to confess green was an easy choice, I had been trying to blog this dress for the past few weeks but didn't have a chance. Silk, feathers and a beautiful cleavage, what else could I ask for ?!? Just another masterpiece from the talented Mami Jewel of Azul, equally glamorous and sexy, "Jualianne" instantly made me feel like a diva. To complete the styling I chose one of my favourites pieces from Alienbear Designs, the KrisCar II set in white diamonds, my old favourite "Queen" hair from Bliss, my green CCD long nails with little diamonds and my green "Barbara" Moodies.

I was getting a bit boring with the studio background pics so I decided to go out and take a picture at the Drowsy sim, which is not only a beautiful place but also filled with some of my favourite stores, I love to visit for some relaxed shopping out of the mainstream stores.

Hair: Bliss Hair Queen Caviar

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Trying to catch up - Week 7: Cerise

2011-01-01T18:21:00.002Z

OK I took One day off due to ~~New Years Eve Dinner~~ Plants vs. Zombies ... yes, seriously ... I should stop checking games all the time, I get instantly hooked to them ... *sighs*. Luckily hubby made an awesome New Years dinner for all of us and we spent a lovely evening watching music videos and revival TV shows LOL. Happy New Year everyone !!!!

And back to the Challenge, I am happy to say I am 2 weeks behind now, I have to make only Green and SIlver after this Week 7 Cerise and I hate to say this again but I don't like pink *shudders*. Another thing this 52 Weeks of Color Challenge has made me realize is my wardrobe range of colours is not as wide as maybe it should. Funny thing is I love to see these colors when my friends are wearing them but I just seem to instantly reject anything that is not on my everyday palette (black, white, brown, red, olive, blue) unless I really love its design.

So here I am digging in my inventory for something pink I may love enough to picture it on this blog, when I stumble upon my old times favourite LeeZu Baxter "Dita" little dress, released in 2008, and its tone is simply perfect for the challenge. Since, like I already said, I don't really like this shiny girly palette I decided to add a bit of charcoal to contrast and make me feel comfortable enough in the set and the perfect finishing touch is my new favourite hair from Exile, I bought the browns pack, I tried it on and had to run to the store to buy the all or nothing pack, seriously. I am totally in love with it, I don't think I can wear anything else for a while luv luv luv luv it! K I am ready, where is the party now?

Outfit Credits:

Skin: Baiastice Pulchra Pale

Hair: Exile Nyx Twilight

Lashes: Cake Bedroom lashes

Dress: LeeZu Dita pink (not available)

I hate yellow, I don't think I have ANYTHING in yellow in my RL wardrobe since I am a quite pale winter but well in SL... ok in SL ~~I don't have anything either~~ I have this amazing dress from the incredibly talented Eshi Otawara that that ended up being perfect for me, because it is artistic enough so I don't mind its color :) I chose once again one of my favourite hairs from The Stringer Mausoleum, added nails, bangles and a cute make up and we have another Colour Challenge Week done.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Trying to catch up - Week 5: Sepia

2010-12-29T21:04:00.002Z

Who said I didn't have Christmas Spirit huh?? I have to confess the only reason to hurry up and catch up on Luna's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge was this outfit from katat0nic, I think its crazy cute if I post it 4 days after Christmas but posting it in February would have been just wrong LMAO. I absolutely love katat0nic Pidgeon and everything she does, from her costumes, hairs and little crazy things in SL to her RL painting and art (you can check her deviations here). It's one of those stores that make me go "awww how cute" every time I visit, exactly what I thought when I saw this little reindeer costume that was the perfect and exact sepia colour for this challenge. (yay!)

For the pictures I decided to go out and visit on of the many wonderful winter themed sims on Destination Guide and ended up in this beautiful Old Europe Village full of friendly people, themed stores and a big ice skating rink to show your skills!

yes my nose blinks *giggles*

Outfit Credits:

Skin: Baiastice Pulchra Peach

Hair: 0 Style CSR's Hair01 - Smoked Walnut (not available)

Costume: katat0nik Brown reindeer costume (but is sepia, promise)

Stockings and purse included on outfit, also comes with hood, hair and antlers.

Nose and Antlers found at the marketplace from Sand Castle Studios
