Balancing Act

I can't get over how many great creations are being released this month, one after another.  The gorgeous fountain from Deco is available right now at Collabor88.  The Rebel Hope dress, Earthstones earrings, and Gos Boutique espadrilles were released today in a brand new designer showcase event from Liaison Collaborative's Boutique.

Did you notice I've gone blonde?  It suited this new lovely VIP group skin from PXL Creations.

Surprise Me with a Valentine

My eyes are closed as I wait to see what's in store for Valentine's Day.  I'm in the spirit, wearing lots of passionate red.  My necklace and earrings from Earthstones are heart shaped, so I've managed to put a heart in every picture for the week leading up to today!  Happy Valentine's Day to everyone who reads my posts.  If you have a special someone, you're all set.  If not, dress up, drink up, and do something fun.

I Come Bearing Gifts

Christmas is drawing closer and I went running around the neighbourhood delivering presents.  I got to the last house and there was no answer for a while and I thought Friar must still be angry with me after I accidentally reversed an elephants arse into his doorway, where it left a smelly deposit.  But that was ages ago, surely he has some festive spirit in him. Suddenly I heard a deep, grizzly voice saying "Wadda ye want?" He didn't sound at all happy and he scared the blinking bejeezus out of me so I dropped the presents on the doorstep and ran for the hills, my heart about thudding out of my chest. Maybe the Hai Karate aftershave will cheer him up, if that doesn't do the trick then he's bound to be happy with hand knitted jumper with a cheery face of Santa on it. 

This Adam & Eve skin is super gorgeous. It comes with different makeups and a few extra layers such as freckles and hair bases. I'm not one for much make-up real life or Second Life and this Bare skin was just perfect for me.

I also couldn't resist Leagues new release, the Faux Fur Pea Coat. You get three, one full colour and two with gradient shading at the bottom. They are gorgeous and snugly, just right for our winter wardrobes.

Fun Stuff

While I was poking around Home & Garden Expo I ran into Max Graf who gave me a preview of the female version of his new mesh studded belt for his store, Bitch.  I just love how bad ass it makes me look!  It's non-rigged, therefore you can edit it to fit.  I had no trouble with a little basic editing. And it goes so nicely with my Maitreya jeans!

The Dressing Room Blue is all new today, and my favorite in this round by far is the sexy midriff baring, under-boob showing top from Baiastice.  Rawrrrr!

52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Pueblo by Dolly

I thought this would be a cinch this week because I wear lots of brown... I kind of failed to remember many of the names of shades of browns, though, and not one thing in my inventory was called Pueblo.  So I did what I do when I can't be fussed to search my inventory - I went shopping!  I hadn't seen the latest coldLogic releases anyway.  Lo and behold!  OK, maybe the top and capris aren't exactly the dark, rich shade in Luna Jubilee's color swatch, but it's in the family, right? Turned out the closest thing to Pueblo was my Exile hair in the shade Sear from Culture Shock, and that SO counts.  Yes, it does.

52 Weeks of Color - Patina by Dolly

Ayla and I have both done naked posts!  We're SHAMELESS!  I guess it's time to cover up a little just in time for Luna Jubilee's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge!

Patina was kind of close to teal on my computer, and that happens to be one of those colors that looks pretty good on most skin tones, therefore easy to find.  I started with the new Maitreya boots and finally decided on a matching color of this adorable sack dress from the same store.

Ayla gave me a great bracelet from EarthStones for my birthday that worked well with my Yummy bracelet, both with complimentary tones. 

Because I am just that cool, I donned Miel sunglasses and topped it all off with a hat hair from Truth that had the perfect teal (I mean Patina *cough*) tint in its menu.
