52 Weeks of Color, Week 5!

How are we on week 5 already?! This year is flying by, and it's a little confusing for me. But at least I was able to find something in Patina, thanks to RezIpsa Loc!

And apparently, I already had eyes in something very close to patina, which worked out awesomely! I'm having more luck finding eyes and makeup that match the color than clothes! But look at me being all honey badger about it:

52 Weeks of Color, Week 2

Ok, I've made it into week 2 without failing, I think that's an accomplishment. :P I have to admit, finding things I like in coral was a challenge. Not because I don't like the color, just because it seems to be less used than other colors. Lots of pink, lots of peach, but that perfect orangey-pink blend just didn't show up. Well, until designers heard about the challenge and hurried to create, I think. There's more coral in the marketplace than there was a week ago.

I was thankful for that, since I'd put together a couple of looks, but not found anything I really loved, until this morning. Luckily, I stumbled across a new-to-me designer with some very nice style.

Mini-dresses can be easily overdone, which is why I appreciate the clean lines, original accents, and the design that's reminiscent of those blocky fabric prints I love so much, without being overwhelming. And it is in the perfect shade of coral, in my opinion. In part because it's the shade my G Field pumps can match. ~grins~

I had another nice find in Earthstones, a necklace and earrings set that's not too formal, but definitely dresses up the otherwise simple outfit. Finish with some coral lipstick and some warm blonde hair (is there a better combination than coral and blonde?), and we've got our look!

Christmas Presents!

Yay, it's the redeeming feature of this time of year! :-P

I'm always amazing at the generosity of Second Life's designers, and this year has been no different. Since there are lots of gifts getting blogged, though, I don't want to duplicate their efforts. So, I'll show you a couple of things that I got just this morning!

G*Field makes my favorite pair of pumps, but also does stunning dress work that I just can't get enough of. While their Christmas gift is simpler than many of their dresses, it's no less well made, and is very cute.

It is a little long for my taste, I'm going to experiment with making it into a knee length, instead of calf length. But the flow of the dress is gorgeous, as always, and the delicate shimmer will grab the attention of everyone at your holiday cocktail party. It also come with a lovely, very delicate necklace, shown below.

Also shown below is the Christmas gift from LAQ. I am overjoyed that many designers are staying away from red and green, which was the trend last year, and going with the winter colors, ice princess theme.

And I have to admit, it's rare to see a "holiday" makeup that isn't overwhelming, so I'm really pleased with the makeup here.

Both these gifts are in their respective group notices, so be sure to grab them soon!
