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!

Holy F&*k, my Face!

Oddly enough, that little exclamation was meant in the very best of ways. I usually do looks, more than I review one item, but I just got a new skin that is blowing my mind. Mynerva's Kianna is absolutely gorgeous, realistic without being creepy, and the level of detail is phenomenal. For L$1000, you get one makeup, and that's more than I'm generally willing to pay, but I didn't think twice here. Because... well here, look.

The shading is exquisite, the features are delicate without resembling anime, the thing has pores, for pete's sake. And by "one makeup," I mean a fresh, clean face that you can add anything to, and there are a number of variations in the pack. Including cleavage, of course, and freckles for those of you who like them. I've heard wailing about how hard it is to find well done freckles. Oh, and tattoo eyebrows in every color of the rainbow, to match just about any hair.

I have a feeling you'll be seeing me in this for a long time to come.
