There I was, all set up and ready to take a Southern Living worthy pic of all the great inexpensive decorative Fall items I had found, and who had to go and get in the shot? Reylan of course! That man has a way of popping up whenever a camera is nearby! Celeste and I are going to have to start locking him in his room if this keeps up! Anyways, just peek around him at all the goodies I have found for you today! Nothing over $1L! And my outfit, hair and accessories were each under $10L! Thriftaholic Mena strikes again! As always, anything over $10L is not listed in the credits below, but if you see something, just shoot me a line and I'll give you the deets.<br />
<br />
A couple notes. This hair from Little Bones is phenomenal! You get 19...yes you read that right...19 full color huds!...for $1L! Go get this now! The dress I am wearing, I highly recommend wearing some leggings under it. It's short, very short, as in my Grammy would have a fit, make sure you are wearing clean underwear kind of short! I found some great leggings from my go to for affordable style, HOC Industries. They worked great under the dress and my Grammy won't have to lecture me on things lady's don't do.<br />

Reylan and I decided to have a little fun before our dinner guests arrived. Don't tell Grammy...she'll make us sit at the kid's table again! <br />
<br />
Thanksgiving is about being thankful and for me that means being thankful for what I do have and being thrifty in my spending. I love finding bargains, especially well made, quality bargains. In fact with the exception of the casseroles, all the items in this picture, including my dress and Rey's t-shirt, are $10L or less. Some items have been taken from other props and edited onto my own table. That's the beauty of thrift shopping. Finding something, even if it's part of another item, and making it into what you need.<br />
See the credits below for more information. <br />
*Note - Anything not 10L or less has not been listed, but if there is something you like, let me know and I will pass on the information.<br />

So welcome Mena! She'll be blogging about the cool freebie/cheapie stuff you can find in SL. Her style is similar to mine, which is why we get along! LOL<br />
<br />
Look for her posts to start soon! She's hoping to become a blogger for Free*Style so I thought this would give her a good platform, and who knows...I might be inspired to try and finish off some blogging as well!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

RL has kept me behind on my 52 WoCC posts. This past week has been a flurry of craziness and activity to get 6 colors shot, edited and labeled. So without further delay, here they are...please let me know what you think...I love reading everyone's thoughts :) Check out my Flickr page for bigger individual shots.

I never thought of myself as much of a yellow person, but after the second yellow color this challenge, I'm really liking it. <br />
<br />
I know this color is a bit deeper than the swatch, but well...you all know my closet...it's still miffed about Pueblo, I'm just lucky I didn't end up with some rubber ducky pasties and a pair of yellow wellies!! <br />
<br />
Instead I found this lovely summery romper that just begged to go to our secret garden and lounge in the sun amongst the flowers and the fairies...smart romper!<br />
<br />

<i>Atop the dark spires of the city she walks in glamour, her bold gown a beacon, defiant yet beautiful, she is...the glamour amidst the darkness.</i><br />
<br />
I've often wanted to do a more editorial look, something that more approaches art than fashion. It's a style that is completely out of the norm for me, but I've always admired the bold quality of it. I'm not quite sure I hit that mark, but I do like the juxtaposition of the bold pink lacy gown entwined with the dark shadows and dirty spires high above the city...what do you think?<br />

<br />
I had the idea for this picture as soon as I decided what to wear for Week 19. See, once again my closet had decided to mutiny on me. Personally I think it was just too damn hot. I live in the south and it seems that we skipped right over spring and fan pell mell into summer. When I asked my closet for something in Pueblo, a color I really really am not fond of btw...its so.....so.....brown :( Well all my poor closet tossed at me was a lacy bra and panty set and some seamed thigh highs. Now you, my faithful followers know...if I can make a sheet work...I can certainly make a gorgeous lingerie set work. <br />
<br />
I had just gotten the new grotto from Barnesworth Anubis at Collabor8 and that combined with the vintage feel of the lingerie and the gorgeous new hair from Exile for The Dressing Room and I had an idea, a story to tell, ...of a mysterious woman, alone on her balustrade, enjoying the dying rays of the sun, waiting for the cool air and end to the oppressing heat. Unbeknownst to her, a camera clicks away, capturing her moment of solitude. Who is the photographer?...the paparazzi?, the police?, a private eye?, a secret admirer? and who is the woman? A fading starlet?, a mobster's moxie?, the mistress?, the woman you sit next to on the subway every day?<br />
<br />
The picture is meant to spark a story, she is who you want her to be, the photographer is whoever you want him to be, the photo is merely the starting point,...who will you be today?<br />
<br />
What I'm Wearing:<br />
Lingerie: TGIS - Brown Lace Set (from the Cinderella Hunt)<br />
Stockings: *LOW* - Seamed Stockings in Bronze<br />
Shoes: J's - Platform Pumps in Dark Brown<br />
Hair: Exile - Violetta in Rouge<br />
Skin: Pink Fuel - Ember in Honey <Scene>, Glam Lipstick Tattoo in Vamp<br />
Eyes: Mayfly Deep Sky Eyes<br />
Lashes: Beetlebones Mesh Lashes<br />
Nails: Pixel Mode Sculpted Nails<br />
Necklace: Bonita's Jewelry - Antique Pearl Wrapped Necklace<br />
Earrings: Dark Mouse - Pearl Earrings<br />
Ring: Exquisite - Pearl Ruffle Ring<br />

Well I took a slight break from working to relax and enjoy the scenery...but I don't think you'll mind too much right? You can even join me and we'll "work" together...this reflecting and pondering life's little pleasures is hard work I tell you...I might need some support...particularly in the form of a few friends with some cider and uhmm...suntan lotion....I seem to have forgotten mine!<br />

I frantically searched my closet for anything to use this week. I didn't think you'd all let me get away with a sheet twice...plus a grey sheet...well, that's just...not very Aeva!<br />
<br />
So off into my closet I dove, searching for grey, gray, smoke, pewter, iron, steel and was about to give up and look for the sheet again when I said..."Hmm, let me try silver." See, I had found some stuff...an old grey sweater...I know I know...I can hear you all going..."Oh god no...Not another sweater"...but nopes, I didnt wear the sweater...you're all shocked silent, I can tell. Oh...I digressed again...*coughs*...as I was saying...<br />
<br />
I found some stuff. The aforementioned sweater, a pair of leggings, some dove grey stockings, a pair of slacks...but nothing called to me and said..."Pick me...pick me!"...I think the jig is up and my closet has grown fearful of my weekly forays and advised all the colors to take a vow of silence. But apparently no one told silver this and there I found a sparkly pretty mesh dress that was the perfect shade. I twisted my hair up, added in one of my favorite jewelry sets and threw on some simple black pumps and I was ready for some dancing....by myself unfortunately...oh well...if it was good enough for Billy Idol, it's good enough for me!<br />
<br />
Dance on fashionistas, dance on!<br />

<br />
This weeks look for me was all about going retro and finding things from my inventory that have stood the test of time. See the dress I'm wearing this week...guess how old it is....go head...I'll wait.....<br />
2011?..nopes...2009?...nopes...it's from...<b><u>2007</u></b>! In fact, just about half of my outfit is from 2009 or earlier.<br />
<br />
Some might say there are very few things from SL in 2007 worth saving and for the most part you'd be right, but not this dress...it's a truly well made dress from a well known designer. Heck, a trip thru the marketplace will show it to be better made than some things that were made within the past year. <br />
<br />
And therein lies my modus operandi when shopping. I always look for and buy well made pieces, pieces that I can wear again and again...and in the case of this dress....5 years later. Sure, little of my inventory remains from my first year in SL, some of it <i>was</i> truly horrid, but there were gems to be found...even back then! So always shop smart my fellow fashionistas!<br />

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Aeva: Well, you have a point there...I at least didn't <u>hate</u> you before this week...</span></i><br />
<br />
Now you all know my affinity for the color pink and all it's various shades and hues. Well you can now take Seashell peach off the list. Holy frijole, what a hard color! I dug thru the darkest scariest corners of my closet and all I could find was a sheet...one lone swath of fabric, hidden in the recesses of my rather large and overflowing closet, that before today, I would have proudly proclaimed that I could find any color that Luna threw at us in there. Well, technically I still did...I mean, sure I'm more clutching it to my body than actually "wearing" it, but, I'm wearing the color....hey...a sheet counts! and see...I did a gorgeous artistic and lovely shot to enhance the seashell peachiness of the sheet... isn't it pretty?...you won't even notice I'm barely "wearing" the color...*bats eyes innocently*<br />

I decided to set aside an evening of nothing but posties and piccies and buckled down, tore thru my closet and caught myself back up...yay!...*collapses and directs you to the pictures*<br />
<br />
First up is St. Patrick's Blue and while I know my outfit is a tad off the swatch, it was as close as I could make it. I had fun putting this outfit together and actually pulled in elements from 4 different outfits...I'm a mix and match champion!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This color just screamed for something sexy and wild and so I dug in the back recesses of my closet for my rarely used latex selections and shimmied my way into this sexy little number. A pair of ballet boots had me dancing on my tippy toes as I swayed to the beats pulsing in the club add in some fun purple jewelry and a quick dye job and *twirls* the Purple Passionista is ready to rock the club. RAWR!</div>

<br />
I had the idea to do something a little different this week. The color aquamarine is definitely one that was wowsa bright!, but I knew I had it in my inventory, lol.<br />
<br />
I have always loved the old time Burlesque & Vaudeville era photos and lucky for me I had one in this week's color. We won't mention I also have a few other colors too...*coughs*...I did say I like the theme after all.<br />
<br />
This look was very easy to bring together at the outfit from Phoenix Rising has everything you need. All I had to do was add a dashing top hat, some pretty jewels and a pair of classic black pumps and voila...abracadabra, The Amazing Aquamarine is here to perform for you. Please remember to tip your waitstaff and try the veal...I'll be here all week!<br />
<br />

What I'm wearing:<br />
Costume: Phoenix Rising - Natasja's Seduction in Aqua<br />

Well ok, so not really dirty...but it's the best title I could come up with! Just look at the pretty pictures and ignore the title!...look see...pretty pictures...pretty pictures!<br />
<br />
I hope that no one minds me putting in 3 pictures of the same outfit instead of one...I've been enjoying the last few months of Picnik while I can.<br />
<br />
This outfit came together super super easy for me. I searched my closet for avocado, not really expecting to find anything, but lo and behold...there was a romper and some tights from JANE...in avocado!...huzzah!<br />
<br />
I rifled thru my closet, looking for things to complete the outfit and this lovely suede skirt from G*Fields and a sweater shrug from VioMagic set the green off nicely...(yes yes I know...another sweater!...I missed my sweaters too much to stay away for long, dont be mad!)<br />
<br />
I slipped on some fun green flats and voila...all done! What do you think? Do you like my Dirty Avocado?...heehee...sounds like a fun name for a band!<br />
<br />

Sweater & Necklace: Vio*Magic - Cappuccino Outfit<br />

I seem to do that alot in this blog. Feel free to laugh with me, sing with me or silently curse me under your breath, I don't mind!<br />
<br />
This week's color inspired me to put aside my sweaters and break out the summer wear in anticipation of winter's end....please please please let it be soon!<br />
<br />
I remembered I had this totally adorable outfit from G*Fields that had been a group gift last year and it was perfect for my mood. All I needed were some bangles for my wrists and a pretty glass ring necklace that I have had for years. I didn't even bother with shoes. Who needs them when you have grass this lush to tickle your toes?!<br />
<br />

Top & Skirt: G*Fields - Puff Sleeve Top & Maxi Skirt in Yellow<br />
Necklace: Chicoco - Glass Ring Necklace - Another of my goodies from <strong>2008</strong>! <br />

It's week 8 of Luna's Challenge and I'm only just a lil behind. Folly threw me for a little bit of a loop, but as soon as I saw Dark Raspberry I was right back on track!<br />
<br />
By now you all know of my love affair with sweater dresses. Some might call it an obsession really. There's just something about a scrummy soft sweater that hugs all your curves and feels so cushy smooshy soft...ahem...'scuse me...I digress.<br />
<br />
Anywho's, I know this sweater is a tad darker than the swatch, but it was close enough that I had to wear it. See, I have had this sweater since August of 2008 and I love it just as much now as I did back then. I think its a testament to a truly well done classic piece that will never leave my closet. The texture on the sweater is simply divine and way ahead of its time for being a piece created in 2008. It is perhaps my favorite piece of clothing I own in SL..I <3 it....ALOT!<br />
<br />
What I'm Wearing:<br />
Sweater: Cubic Effect - Knit & Shirtwaist in Bordeaux<br />
Bracelets: Zaara - Indra Painted Stacked Bangles<br />
Anklet: Eolande's Lucky Star Anklet in Aurora Borealis<br />
Hair: Elikatira - Abbey in Red 10<br />
Skin: Pink Fuel - Alyx in Honey/Candy Hearts<br />
Lipstick: Pink Fuel - Glam Lipstick in Burgundy<br />
Lashes: Beetlebones - Mesh Lashes in Lush Black<br />
Prim Feet & Hands - SLink Jolie Pied & Jolie Main<br />
Cushion: Lost Angels - Boudoir Puff (slightly modded - added a box around the base)<br />

<br />
It's week 7 and this was honestly the first week that really presented a challenge for me as I had absolutely nothing but a bra and a pair of panties in this week's color!<br />
<br />
I set out on my search and really just had a hard time finding anything that was in the correct color or that called out to me. Finally I stumbled upon this dress on the marketplace by a new to me designer, milevA.<br />
<br />
It was perfect! The design was very much Aeva and it was a spot on match for the color. It was also only $55L and came with 4 different skirt options, and loads more goodies that I didnt show here! Aeva wins again! Huzzah!<br />
<br />
With the color and the time of year in mind, I knew I wanted to do something with a little Valentine's Day feel to it. I went searching in my cavernous inventory and found this bow & arrow pose set buried deep in my animation folder from <strong><u>2010!!</u></strong> Sometimes it pays to hold on to things, hahaha.<br />
<br />
One of my friends from plurk pointed me to a great location for my shot and off I went. After tweaking my WL settings to match the dress and my surroundings...Week 7 and my interpretation of Aeva as a fashionably chic cupid was in the bag!<br />
<br />
What I'm Wearing<br />
Dress: milevA - Florence in Cerise<br />
Shoes: :Hucci: - Choose Love Pump in Electric Sugar<br />
Jewelry: Eshi Otawara - Queen of Hearts<br />
Hair: Truth - Velvet in Sangria<br />

<br />
<br />
I have a confession to make. With the exception of a slight loop thrown by Week 3's electric indigo color, I've really not had a tough time with the colors so far. Frankly I've quite enjoyed them!!<br />
<br />
Alice in Wonderland has long been one of my favorite stories and so when I saw this week's color, my first impulse was to go full blown frills, ruffles, petticoats and bows. But then I came up for air and thought...hmmm...what about if I take Alice back through the looking glass to her own time and she's all grown up now? Maybe a young professional?...still with that air of innocence, but a grown-up now?<br />
<br />
I found this sweater quite by accident. I was out window shopping when I walked past it and my eyes were drawn immediately. First. it's a sweater, and you all know my love for sweaters, second it was the most perfect shade of pale pale blue ever. I didnt even bother browsing my inventory first to see if I already had something in Alice Blue...I bought the sweater on the spot and skipped home to create my look.<br />
<br />
I've been doing dresses for the past few weeks and so I decided straight away that I wanted slacks for this look. I admit it was not without its giggle inducing moments that decision. I had to fight my natural gravitation towards skirts as I browsed my closet. I'd say..."ooo..pretty skir...demmits...pants Aeva, pants...focus girl!"<br />
<br />
I found this slightly vintage pinstriped pair from Coco in the perfect shade of grey in the back of my closet...perfect compliment to the sweater and really kept the look I was going for.<br />
<br />
My favorite pair of peep toes from Maitreya and a few strands of blue pearls and I was ready for my trip. The last item I grabbed were the silver glasses the Mad Hatter gave to me one day at our afternoon tea. They are without a doubt my most prized possession and I cherish them most deeply.<br />
<br />
What I'm Wearing<br />
Sweater: Koketka - Emily Sweater in LIght Blue<br />
Trousers: Coco - Pinstripe Pants in Gray<br />
Shoes: Maitreya - Allegre colored Black & Tan<br />
Glasses: La.Clare - Platine (I've had these for nearly 4 years!)<br />
Necklace: Izzies - Pearl Jewelry in Blue<br />
Ring: Toi et Moi<br />
Hair: Wasabi Pills - Orion in Rouge<br />
Skin: Aura - Briar in Cream; Berlin Coloring, (VIP Group Gift)<br />

<br />
Just like in week 2 with coral, as soon as I saw the swatch for this week, I knew <u><strong>exactly</strong></u> what I was going to wear. <br />
<br />
This week's color is one that I already wear quite often in SL. I love turquoise tones, they match my eyes so well...*grins..ahem...back on track! I've had this dress for a little while now, all cozied up in my inventory and just waiting for its chance. This was it's week! I am so in love with sweater dresses to begin with, AND, it was in the perfect color for the challenge, ergo...a win win for the Aev's this week!<br />
<br />
As I began to create the look around the dress, I did as I so often do, and just let things happen organically. I knew I wanted leggings or tights under the dress and knew I had just unpacked the outfit these leggings are from a couple of weeks ago. I thought they might work so I put them on and it was like....Yusss!! These leggings just complimented the dress so well and as a bonus they kept my arse from hanging out for all and sundry to see!<br />
<br />
Taking my cues from the leggings, I chose a vintage ETD tote in a rich purple leather and suede boots from Indyra in a dark teal shade. Alright!...this look was rocking!! I was dancing happily up in my sky closet.<br />
<br />
Time for sparklies! Digging through my jewelry box I searched for and pulled out a couple of my favorite Random Calliope rings from a few years back and the Soar set from Earthstones that I simply adore. All that was needed was some bangles for my wrists and I kept those casual. Some silver bangles from Spork and a layered set from Miel did the trick nicely. All that was left was to slick on a fresh coat of nail polish, and Week 5 was done!<br />
<br />
I have to say, this is my favorite look so far, what do you think?<br />
<br />
What I'm Wearing:<br />
Dress: Garage - Lola Dress<br />
Leggings: Nadas - Winter Leggings (from Winter outfit)<br />
Boots: Indyra Originals - Chasseur Boots in Teal Suede<br />
Bag: ETD - Everyday Tote in Purple<br />
Necklace & Earrings: Earthstones - Soar Set<br />
Right Hand: Rings - Random Calliope's Mata Hari & But I'm Not the Only One, Bracelet - Miel's Friendo Bracelet<br />
Left Hand: Ring - JCNY's Lotus Mood Ring, Bracelets - Spork's Silver Bangles<br />
<br />

When searching my inventory for this week's color, I did what I always do and tried searching every possible alternate name I could think of for the color...I searched gray, grey, smoke, pewter, mist and of course iror, and while I had some things, nothing came close to the swatch, so finally I tried silver, thinking what the heck and there it was...this gorgeous silver satin and silk dress that just begged to be used for this week's challenge.<br />
<br />
At first I thought I was going to use pops of color to compliment the gown, but I found this lovely satin bolero from Nardcotix in black and so I went with black as my accent. I wasnt sure of my choice until I walked out of my bedroom after dressing and my mother and brother both went...WOW!<br />
<br />
After reassuring me they meant WOW in the "girl you are smoking hot" way and not the "girl you are a hot mess" way it was off to take pics and complete week 4. What do you guys think?..like it?<br />
<br />
Have I mentioned just how much I'm enjoying this challenge?? It's just occured to me that my border is pretty darn close to next week's color...lol...and I did this pic several days ago...I need to go play the lottery!<br />
<br />

Dress: Koko - Chiffon & Satin Dress in Silver<br />

Ok so yes, my title's a bit odd this week...but if you'd gone thru the search I did in order to find the exact shade of indigo to match <a href="http://lunajubilee.com/">Luna's</a> swatch AND my style, you'd totally get it!<br />
<br />
See, when I started this challenge I said to myself...."self...we are going to try and use only what we have in our inventory, and if we have to buy something, it MUST be something we would actually wear again and that matches and shows who we are!!" <br />
<br />
I refuse to wear/buy something just because it is in the color for the week...it has to be something that I actually like, something I would wear again. I know I know...I'm making things harder for myself, but hey...I never said I was normal, lol.<br />
<br />
After much browsing and searching, and finding more god awful items then I care to remember...I stumbled upon this totally cute dress from fri.day. I immediately knew it was the one and set about creating the look. <br />
<br />
The sleeves and skinny tie immediately set my mind a whirling to a retro 80s vibe and voila...Aeva the sexy librarian who listens to Duran Duran and <3's John Taylor was born!<br />
<br />
Love it or Hate it?<br />
