Free is the Best Price!

And everything I'm wearing in this pic, fits the bill!  Love it when that happens!!  The creators in sl really amaze sometimes with their generosity.  All the items below are either hunt gifts or group gifts, and they are gorgeous!

This pic was taken at the Magic of Christmas, Winter Holiday Village.  Its an amazing sim that has just about everything for your winter/christmas/whatever you choose to call it needs.

p.s. if you look closely, you may find a Dingy TwinkleToes, an elf, in the background!

Diamonds and Butterflies

OMG I know... its been a minute since I've posted.  Real life, man.. always rearing its head.  Occasionally in a good way..as has been the case.

So, on one of my now less frequent evenings in SL, my good friend LadyCatherine Fairey, sent me two very beautiful preview items.  And I have to say, she never disappoints!  And she always gives me things in red cause she knows its my fav!  Gotta love that!!

Anyway, the dress - which is gorgeous and makes ya feel just a little princessy, in a modern way - is in the Diamond is Mine hunt, which starts tomorrow at midnight.  Her store, Butterfly Effects, is a sponsor for the hunt and her prize is #18.  So you need to run off and find it!  Oh!  Not to mention she's redone the sim, so be sure to explore.

The boots are a new release, and will be in the store on Friday.  They are available in 6 colors and have a very easy to use menu for resizing... and matched the dress perfectly!

Skin: Jessica, Tan, Ocean Red - AMD
Dress:  Classy Red - BE (hunt gift)

52: Moss Green

This one's not late!! YaY!!  As we all know by now, greens are hard for me.  Mostly because I don't care for the color, so am reluctant to buy things in those shades.  And as always, after I do, I end up really liking the look.  This one was no different.

Late again!! Ack!! Ok, so, I think I'm just going to give up on trying to actually be on time on any regular basis.  Because my best intentions, and even though I may have the look all completely ready... inevitably something happens before I'm able to actually take pictures of it.  Such is life...

(cause I had no idea for brick red)

This post isn't quite AS on time as I've been the past few weeks, but its not late either, so I'll take it!  Greens are never a favorite of mine... ever.  But this one wasn't so bad really.  And again I'll say.. the color never turns out to be as horrible as you initially anticipate it being! LOL  This outfit came together on accident really.  Originally I had this idea of a guy, in an open linen shirt, and khakis, walking down a beach... no idea why, just an image that somehow got stuck there.  Then I found these pants on Marketplace.. and they're close enough to khaki, so... the rest of it just fell into place.

Skin: Spirit, Harmony - Heartsick
Shirt:  Off shoulder white shirt - Mr. Poet
Shorts:  Folden Short XDREZ Green - Marketplace
Shoes:  Sandal - Albufeira

52: Electric Blue

Whew!  I didn't think I was gonna make it on time this week!  See, I had this dress in mind... and, owing to my general unorganizedness, I couldn't find it in the depths of my inventory.  I searched all week.  Literally.  Tried on so many things.. omg.  But nope, couldn't find it.  And then I did.  And it wasn't the right color.  Grrrr!!!  So, I had to start over.  And when I think of Electric.. I think of glowy.. so.. here it is!  And its not late!  Yay me!

52: Mauve

Two weeks in a row I'm on time!  This is crazy!  It does feel a little weird actually because I've not gotten the chance to see all the other amazing looks people are inspired to put together before I post mine.  But that's ok.  I've said this before.. its funny how things work out while these posts are being created.  I originally purchased this skirt for some other pink color, but then couldn't come up with a look I loved to go with it.. so I didn't use it and its been sitting in my massive, terribly unorganized inventory.  Glad I found it again!
