OMG, Run!!

PurpleMoon has just (in the past few hours) released Valentines Day editions of three amazing gowns, and one jewelry set. Each is priced BELOW normal, and only fifty copies of each will be sold! I was just there, and one of the dresses is almost half sold out already!

Argh, stupid small pictures. Click through, you know the drill. :P

 The jewelry set is gorgeous too. So gorgeous you might not even notice that my eyelashes are adjusted funny. Oops! What can I say, I was in a hurry, I don't want you missing this.

Theoretically, this link will drop you right in front of the Valentine's Day display. Happy shopping!

52 Weeks of Color, Week 4!

Took me long enough, huh? And this week's look is... simplistic, at best. I knew right away which gown I wanted to use, but the rest of it just refused to fall into place. Oh well!

Poulet Koenkamp created this gorgeous gown for the winner of her Essence of PurpleMoon contest, which I am definitely entering again next year. It comes in bunches of colors, of course, but this was the one I fell instantly in love with, and it happens to work perfectly for this week's challenge

And then I paired with... I don't know, some stuff. The eyes are my favorite addition, and they're a gift from Fashism in the latest edition of TooSexy magazine - you can pick up a copy in the Fashism mainstore. The skin and hair are ones I've had for ages, and the nails, of course, Mandala. Click through for the full sized version.

Here's hoping for a little more inspiration next week, for the color "patina." (Really, Luna? Meanie! :P)

Rusalka, by PurpleMoon!

Poulet Koenkamp has done her first release of 1012, and it is gorgeous! This long, flowing brocade gown is so elegant, I can't stand it, and in so many wonderful color combinations. This one screamed January to me, but I'll be back for more, I know it.

I love the fit-to-flare skirt, it's my favorite style here and in RL. And the sculpted top was a breeze to fit, though the combination with a skirt layer did overlap a bit at the hips. A down side of SL, where EVERY skirt (layer) makes your butt look big.

Oh, and hey! If you want to try out sizing the sculpted top, hurry down to the main store now, because the PurpleMoon group just hit 11,000 members, and Poulet released a gift for the occasion - a cocktail version of the Rusalka dress, in a gorgeous dark purple!

Now I will say that the skirt was originally a lot longer. Almost down to the middle of my shins. But I prefer a shorter cocktail dress, and thankfully Poulet doesn't put goofy restrictions on her resizers, so this was a breeze to adjust. And still lovely!

So technically the entry is done, but I wanted to share this picture, because I'm in love with the angle, and totally didn't expect it to come out well. Whee!
