52 Weeks of Colour - Pueblo by Ayla

I don't know about my fellow colour challenge bloggers, but I found this weeks colour a toughie.  In the end I decided the shade was something in between poop and rust, so I opted for rust.  I nipped along to One Bad Pixel and decided the Cherry Cheong in Rust was as close as I could get it.  I know I blogged it in Platinum a few weeks ago, but we want all the colours, right?

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Shuttle Grey by Ayla

This has pretty much been the weather in Scotland for the past few days and this weeks colour sorta matches the mood.  The dress is a coldLogic group gift from when they opened and I added a bit of colour by wearing these tights from fri.day (Seasons Gatcha) and my lilac wellies from [Gos].  The brolly I love and it's from Lisp, still available from Collabor88.

The picture reminds me of the nursery rhyme,

Dr Foster went to Glouceter,

In a shower of rain;

He stepped in a puddle,

Right up to his middle,

And never went there again.

One Bad Pixel!

One Bad Pixel launched their all mesh brand yesterday and after seeing sneaky teasers all week I was itching to try on some demos.  I wasn't disappointed.  The mesh designs are superb and if I wasn't lacking in Linden I would have bought the whole collection.  I opted for this Asian styled Cherry Cheong dress in Platinum, and it's fair to say it's not coming off today.

There's a competition running to try and guess who the designers are.  I am pretty sure about one of them.  The other?  I'm going to have to do a little investigating!

22796 at the Gallery Gift Shop

The boys from 22769 Casual Couture have brought their meshy goodness to The Gallery Gift Shop this month with this darling stripey dress.  It's available at the Gift Shop from now until the 15th of May, and for $100L it's way too much of a bargain to pass up!  I added a few accessories, like the Peepers glasses from Miel and the Crystal Cuffs from Dark Mouse (which I tinted black), just to add a little je ne sais quoi!  The rest you can find below.

52 Weeks of Colour - Bright Turquoise by Ayla

Turquoise comes a close second to pink as one of my favourite colours so I was well chuffed when coldLogic brought out some bright, dazzling spring clothes.  This colour combination went well together so I paired them up for this weeks colour challenge.  The picture is taken at Alirium, one of the bestest sims on Second Life!

Close your eyes and listen

It was only when I dug out my radio and was setting up for today's pic that I realised I needed the mesh closed eyes from Slink! They took a bit of fidgeting about with, I had to shrink them considerably because my eyes aren't so big, and I took some time to get the shading right, but it was all relatively easy.

Today's clothes are mostly all old news, but I'm starting to dig into my inventory instead of buying something new each time I blog.  The hair is a group gifty from Magika and it went so prettily with my blouse.

The good news today was I didn't have to spend ages smudging those pesky grids lines, the photo is almost unedited apart from a smidge of glow to bring out the shadows and a crop and frame.  I am really enjoying messing with shadows, and to think I could have had them ages ago if I had known all I needed was a graphics driver update!

Desert Princess

Oh my god, the creation of this blog post has been a nightmare for me!  Doesn't help that I just fell off my chair.  Don't ask. This is the third day I've tried to get this shot right, then when I get a picture I am semi happy with I take it to GIMP and it's full of those pesky grid lines!  Anyway, I digress, excuse me a moment while I take a deep breath and then I'll get on with it.

For my birthday last month Mr Q treated me to all kinds of goodies.  When he sent me the Marketplace link to buy this and guess what?  I already had it in my inventory!  So I promised that I would blog it for him.  So here I am, in the middle of some desert with camels sniffing at me and making all sorts of strange honking noises!

These beautiful silks are from Vigo Creations, authentic role play & lifestyle clothier.  I had considered it as my wedding dress at one point before we decided to go traditional.

It Happened One Night

I love vintage and retro styles. I feel a little Claudette Colbert in "It Happened One Night" right before she showed Clark Gable how to hitch a ride. My hat hair is from Fashionably Dead, the mesh jacket and belt are from Celoe. As for the skirt - it's the mesh paneled Ingenue dress at Collabor88.

If you don't know the movie, enjoy this little clip.
