All wrapped up in a bow

 

Today, I'm taking some time to enjoy the release of PXL Creation's Collab88 Skin line, Jade. Jade is available with four different makeup options: Berry, Cherry (Shown above), Crush or Lime.  Jade is a wonderful addition to your Spring or even Summer look book. Jade is an exclusive preview skin available for Collab88 only. This skin will be available until the end of April's Collab88 round, (May 7, 2013). 

There is also two more days left until, The Pose Fair 2013 ends.  I am using Fri.day's pose set, Sweet and Sour. Make sure you stop on by to The Pose Fair 2013 before it ends if you haven't already visited.

Orange you Happy for Spring?

“And like flowers in the fields, that make wonderful views, when we stand side-by-side in our wonderful hues.."- unknown

We had one of our first spring days of the year in Italy. To celebrate I decided to dress up in Orange from head to toe. Sadly, dipping into my inventory meant some of the items I am wearing are no longer available. Either because they are older discontinued items, or the shop is no longer available in world. Nevertheless, I am still a fan of these designers and feel that their creations needed a day in the sun.

Russett into Fall

After several weeks of teasing Fall has finally made it's way to my part of the world. When Fall hits there is nothing I enjoy more than heading into my kitchen and cooking delicious treats. This weekend I'm entering full baker's mode and whipping up a batch of cookies for my husband's colleagues. Chocolate chip, Oatmeal and Peanut Butter are all on the list; so is carving a pumpkin to celebrate Halloween. Let's just say my kitchen is going to get a lot of use in the next couple of days.

The wonderful thing about SL is that I can find and create the kitchen of my dreams. In RL, my kitchen is not as elegant as my SL kitchen, I have to share the space with others and often there is no space to cook. Trompe Loeil has designed what I consider to be the perfect kitchen because it has the best balance of functional space and aesthetic beauty. I picked up this kitchen a while back during Collab 88 previous month's event, but even though it's no longer available at Collab88 you can still find and purchase the Timeless Kitchen at Tompe Loeil's main store.

This post is Week Thirty-Four's color on Luna's 52 week of color challenge, Russett. I'm cheating slightly as I am blending browns to make the Russett hue. The only true russett color is the scarf around my neck. Next color challenge post will be on Feldgrau, which might be a tricky color for me to find.

Spoiled Homemaker- Week 50 Mulberry

Can you believe I'm still wearing my Spoiled Vampire Princess Avie? It's been almost two weeks and I'm still having so much fun, sadly all good things must come to an end and it's time to retire my doll after today's post. I've found a new toy to play with.....a Centaur. I can't wait to snap some photos and show you all my new Halloween costume.

For today's post I'm playing the Spoiled Homemaker. I have been working hard on my home in CDS decorating and trying to get it all settled in. I almost have my kitchen area complete it just needs a few more final touches...then I can call it perfect. Ok not perfect but perhaps done.

My outfit is for the 52 weeks of Color Challenge post week 50 color Mulberry. During Collab 88 I found a cute dress from Ingenue, I knew it would be perfect for this week's challenge and for showcasing fall. The next Color Challenge is Cream.
