POE Hunt - Styles by Danielle, Baboom, & Lindy


Oh there is nothing I love better than a Christmas sweater!  I adore this sweater and jumper combination from Styles by Danielle.  It fits perfectly and looks so warm and comfortable.  The pants I'm wearing are actually part of an outfit from BaBoom.  I love the fit and the length is absolutely perfect.  I chose to wear a pair of flats from Lindy and I like the way they work with this outfit.  All of the items I've just mentioned are POE hunt prizes!

Special thanks to the creators:  Dani Plassitz (Styles by Danielle), Kyra Campbell (BaBoom), and Delinda Abbot (Lindy).  :)

POE Hunt - Wilson's Closet, Rockberry, & Elemental

 
Today I'm showing more Peace On Earth Hunt prizes.  My dress is the hunt prize from Wilson's Closet.  I love the fur trim and I can see myself skating or caroling in this lovely creation.  


The skin I am wearing is the hunt prize from Rockberry.  Skylar comes in four tones: dark, light, natural, and tan.  I'm wearing the tan version.  The lovely earrings are a hunt gift from Elemental called Falling Snowflake.  It is such a pretty and delicate design.

I'd like to thank the creators of today's hunt prizes for being so generous by sharing their wonderful creations with us.  They are Marcy Wilson (Wilson's Closet), Heather Beebe (Rockberry), and Contessa Lacombe (Elemental Jewelry).

POE Hunt - Angel Dessous, Vendome, and Dulce Secrets

 
I am deeply honored to have been selected as one of the official bloggers for the Peace On Earth Hunt.  This hunt is one of the most highly anticipated events in SL because the gifts offered by the creators are of the highest quality and the hunt itself is so well organized by the director, Sequoia Nightfire.  I will do my very best to show hunt gifts in the best light possible.
 
Today I am highlighting gifts from Angel Dessous, Vendome Jewelry, and Dulce Secrets.  The lovely gown I'm wearing is from Angel Dessous.  The gown is a dark red with a lovely black fur collar and lace trimmed gloves.  It would be a wonderful gown to wear to one of the many winter balls or Christmas parties that abound during the holiday season. 


I added this sweet Peace necklace in gold from Vendome Jewelry.  It fits perfectly above the fur trim of the gown.  The skin I am wearing is the hunt gift from Dulce Secrets.  It is actually a fat pack and contains 6 different tones.  I'm wearing the Malibu Winter Glitter tone in the photo above.

I found a wonderful sim for photos, Winter Holiday Village.  It is decorated for Christmas and offers skating, sledding, and horse-drawn buggy rides. There were quite a few others there enjoying the atmosphere and activities during my visit and I know I will return with friends to relax and immerse myself in this gorgeous winter wonderland.

Thank you to Anne Maertens (Dulce Secrets), Jezzy McCallen, Nando Korobase, Gina Beaumont (Angel Dessous), and RKThings Crystal (Vendome Jewelry) for creating and generously sharing such lovely things for us to enjoy.

Color Challenge Week 48 - Tangelo



I love citrus colors and tangelo is no exception!  I found this delightful romper dress at Tee*fy and I love the way it looks and fits so perfectly.  I added Maxi Gossamer's Giselle Opal Set in tangerine (I know, tangerine is not tangelo, but it is close!).  The set includes earrings, necklace in three sizes, and a ring in two sizes.  My hair is new from LeLutka.  It is called Ella and I'm wearing it in the Marilyn shade.  I just love this hair!  I bought the "naturals" pack and I love that I can wear it as blonde, brown, red, and black!

My skin is FAKE's Licia Skin and it is a current item at The Dressing Room Blue.  Be sure to visit TDRB soon because this is the final collection and the doors will close at the end of this round.

I found the location for this shot by looking through the Destination Guide.  It's called "The Garden" and looks to be quite an interactive sim with a game hud for sale at the entrance.  I'm sure I'll be back to play the games. :)

$55L Thursday @ Innuendo


What a pretty black mesh cocktail dress I found today at Innuendo!  It is a $55L Thursday special and includes the dress, gloves, shoes, necklace, and hat.  I'm showing the dress, shoes, and gloves in the photo above.  I added a black pearl necklace combo from Maxi Gossamer and new hair from LeLutka called Ella.

I pulled out Bent's CyberMatrix pose prop from my inventory, something I purchased a few months ago.  There are ten wonderful poses included in the prop and the menu allows you to adjust your position so that you are perfectly placed in each shot.  The colors in the box are black and neon green, but I felt that a black and white treatment of this photo would be more dramatic. :)

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving and have lots to be thankful for.  I do. :)

Cynful @ The Dressing Room



The Dressing Room never disappoints and I enjoy shopping there every week.  There are lots of wonderful fashions for sale there and I think I bought them all!  The first look from my shopping spree is this sexy black turtleneck mini dress by Cynful.  There are more than one sleeve option and I settled on the 3/4 sleeve for today's photo session.  I added tights from an earlier edition of TDR... I just love these black tights from A&A Fashion!  The shoes were practically a steal at $30L and are from Glow Studio.  My necklace and ring are also new TDR items from LaGyo and I love the color change options. :)

 
My skin is also from TDR... essences' Maria Skin.  There are two tattoo layer makeups included in the skin folder and I'm wearing the blush option.  The hair I'm wearing is a free gift from Amacci located in Amacci Hair, along with two other free hairstyles.

Color Challenge Week 47 - Barley Corn

 
My outfit for this week's Color Challenge was found at R.icielli. I was doing the Charming Hunt when I spied this skirt hanging on the wall... Bingo! The blazer was a hunt prize and I thought it paired nicely with the skirt. The top is part of a dress from Nil's Island Store and the shoes are from Mstyle.

Earlier in the day, I found this gorgeous hairstyle at Amacci for the amazing price of "free"!  There are three free hair gifts hanging on the wall  in the hair shop... be sure to check it out!  Lots of hair goodness at Amacci! (Thank you pnny lane for pointing out the error!)

Honestly I thought I'd have to bow out of the challenge this week, because Barley Corn was a really hard color for me to find... but thanks to R.icielli, I found the right color and lots of other amazing hunt gifts, each for only $15L!

LPD Mirage Minidress


Purple and green is a wonderful combination to me and when I found LPD's Mirage Mini Dress, it was love at first sight!  It fits perfectly and I really love it.  I added GTFO Boots from Gos and hair from Wasabi Pills, a lovely style called Sylvie.



The collar is really amazing and gives the whole outfit a sort of Judy Jetson look.  I really like that. :)

Color Challenge Week 46 - Juniper


I absolutely love the color juniper and I found the perfect outfit for the color challenge at the newest edition of Collabor88.  I'm wearing The Sea Hole's Painted Desert Bodysuit and matching mini skirt.  My hair is D!va's Daria, also from Collabor88.  My jewelry is from Mustang Trading Post , a lovely set called Tatonka.  The photo was taken in a gorgeous house that I tp'd into while searching for a nice cabin for this photograph.  I think it is actually someone's home but I couldn't help but stay for a few minutes for the snapshot.  I might have committed burglery so shhhh.... don't tell anyone! ;-)

Designer Showcase Group Gift


I found a couple of free gifts today that were really lovely.  First, LIV-Glam's Amy Winehouse Tribute Dress is the free group gift for the newest edition of Designer Showcase.  It is mesh and is really well made.  The textures are wonderful!

Next, Exile's Violetta hair can be found in the subscribo history along with TWO other free hair gifts!  All are non-mesh hairs, include every color and are really nice! 



My jewelry is a favorite from Donna Flora, a set called Lorena.  As is all of Donna Flora's jewelry, this set is simply exquisite.

My skin is Glam Affair's Lilith and I'm wearing the Europa tone.  I really like the subtle makeup and the flawless look.

Drifting on a Lazy Sunday in a New Skybox


Another wonderful Lazy Sunday find, this one from Drift.  A loose and flowing maxi dress in a lovely shade of brown.  I love the way it fits and moves with my avatar.  This photo was taken in another Lazy Sunday item, the Bryn Skybox from Kukuvaya.  It has three inside rooms and one room outside, so you can decorate with your indoor and outdoor furniture.  I think this is a wonderful setup for a skybox and I'm already planning my patio garden. :)

My hair is Exile's "Like Lovers Do" and my skin is Glam Affair's Cassiopea.  My nails are a new item from Izzie's, her "Long French Nails". The texture hud is loaded with wonderful color choices, so you will be sure to match them to any outfit.  The nails are not a Lazy Sunday item, but I found them while Lazy Sunday shopping at Izzie's.

If you'd like to become a Lazy Sunday shopper, search for the group inworld.  It's free to join and you'll get a notice once a week steering you to the participating merchants.  Nothing is priced over $75L and the items are always superb.

Mmmmm... I love lazy Sundays and I can't wait for the next. :)

Color Challenge Week 45 - Bittersweet


I love a lazy Sunday, especially in Second Life.  I visited all of the shops on participating in this week's Lazy Sunday event and found some really nice things, each for only $75L.  I simply adore this trunk from What Next.  It features animations for male and female and all are of excellent quality.  Lucky for me the color fits in nicely with this week's color challenge. 

My outfit is from The Sea Hole and is really fun to wear.  I added the GTFO boots from Gos and they match the shorts perfectly.  My nails are another Lazy Sunday item from Izzie's. 


Eyes are the November Group Gift from IKON and jewelry is from Addiction, another Lazy Sunday item.  Hair is from Illusory, a style I purchased last year and simply love. 

Bittersweet.... a lovely color and feeling. :)
