A Trio of Delights

RL has been kicking my behind up one side and down the other and I was terribly behind in my postings.   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*

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!

And finally we have Royal Purple.  You might need to sit down for this one...I went a little crazy and out of the norm for me.  Not a sweater dress to be found anywhere even close by.  

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!

The Amazing Aquamarine!

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.

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.

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!

The Dirty Side of Avocado

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!

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.

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!

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!)

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!

Sunshine, On My Shoulders Makes Me Happy

Cheesy John Denver quotes aside, I do love the feel of sunshine on my shoulders...demmits, I cannot say those words without singing them!...ahem...I digress.  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!

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!

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?!

For Love of Sweaters and Raspberries

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!

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.

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!

What I'm Wearing:
Sweater: Cubic Effect - Knit & Shirtwaist in Bordeaux
Bracelets: Zaara - Indra Painted Stacked Bangles
Anklet: Eolande's Lucky Star Anklet in Aurora Borealis

Cushion: Lost Angels - Boudoir Puff (slightly modded - added a box around the base)

Cupid's Folly

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!

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.

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!

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 2010!!  Sometimes it pays to hold on to things, hahaha.

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!

What I'm Wearing
Dress: milevA - Florence in Cerise
Shoes: :Hucci: - Choose Love Pump in Electric Sugar
Jewelry: Eshi Otawara - Queen of Hearts
Hair: Truth - Velvet in Sangria

Back Through the Looking Glass

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!!

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?

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.

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!"

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.

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.
