52 Weeks of Color-Week 8-Green

Were already on to week 8 of Luna's 52 week of Color challenge. Whooooo hoooo!!! I made a promise last week that I would completely commit to the color and I think this week I'm upholding the commitment by wearing Green from top to bottom. Truth be told, Green really wasn't a hard color to come by since it's a festive time of year and it's found in an abundance.  This week I wanted to try to play off the holiday and give a classic look which would work well when dressing for a party. So without further delay here is my holiday outfit.



Now lets start with the dress. As I've spoken about in my last couple of posts, HUGE sale at 5th and Oxford, Luxuria because of the entire store closing. All items are only 50L which made this Appletini dress one of the best bargains I've ran across this week.

The shoes were given as a holiday gift from Maitreya as mentioned in my last post they were available in the subscriber kiosk history and open to all.

My necklace is from Caroline's Jewelry and has accents of green which I thought were fancy enough to make my entire outfit sparkle.

52 Weeks of Color-Cerise-Week 7

It's on to week 7 already in Luna's 52 Week of Color Blogger Challenge. I think this is the point in other challenges where I tend to get lazy and stop posting, but nope not this time. I'm pushing forward and continuing on with the color challenge. This week's color is Cerise, which I totally had to look up in wiki. I'm really not a huge fan of this shade of pink and I somewhat copped out/compromise on the color.

*holds up her right hand over her heart and makes the vow. "I promise to try better next week and fully commit to the color no matter what."

With that said, Lets get on to today's Outfit....

It all started with this cute skirt from Sn@tch, Ivy Deschanel's Blue light special "Seriously Pink", is completely cute I really enjoy the fringe on the bottom of the skirt and how shiny and sparkly this skirt is. The blue light special is a special treat because it's an entire outfit for only 65L. The complete look entails, a cashmere sweater, hazard knee socks, the sequin mini skirt and wait for it......TWO layers of makeup. Swoon....I'm currently wearing Cerise Makeup 1 which I found was a great compliment to bring the color Cerise into the post. Now, if the whole Pink color is throwing you off don't worry. Ivy is planning on releasing some new colors on Friday(tomorrow) of this outfit, but if you would love to get this limited edition outfit please hurry and TP before the Blue Light Special is gone.

I also want to point out a really cute necklace I recently picked up from Yummy, it's the baking charms set. As a newly married woman I have started to enjoy the life inside the kitchen, so this baking charm is something I completely fell head over feet in love with. It's sweet charms are reminiscent of the cute charm bracelets and is great gift for someone that is either sweets lover or one who happens to love to baking. 

and finally on a sad note, I want to talk about 5th and Oxford and Luxuria. Recently Roslin Petion plurked that both 5th and Oxford and Luxuria clothing is preparing to move to a warehouse for one last sale. I'm sadden by this because I've really become attached her new line of lingerie. I have found that the Caer bra (Shown above) is the perfect peek of femininity and provides the much essential cover up when trying to retain a bit of modesty. I wish Roslin the best of luck on her next endeavors and will be patiently awaiting ant new project she works on.

****News****

Sn@tch- Blue light special until Friday! Hurry and get your copy of the limited edition Seriously Pink while the price is only 65L. 

Luxuria and 5th and Oxford- sometime within the next couple of days will be having a huge markdown sale. Please keep your eyes open and I hope you don't miss out. (No LM currently given, but I will post when the warehouse is open)

Red Love- Bodice Lingerie

If your a fan of lingerie then you must make a stop at new store Bodice, owned by Rai Blaylock. Rai has managed to make a some goodies which are perfect for Christmas. Her two lingerie sets Santa's Helper and Santa baby doll are both naughty and nice. They are moderately priced under 75L (prices reduced for the holidays) and are so worth it. Santa Baby doll is available in 4 colors while the Santa Helper is available in 6.

Personally I love the Santa's Helper ( shown above) I feel it's more than just a holiday outfit and is perfect anytime of year. The six colors are not only limited to holiday themes of red and green, but have deep colors such as blue, purple, pink and teal. there are two bows along the side of the stockings and one bow on the back to tie the entire look together. I like this lingerie set so much I am planning on doing some shopping in SL wearing just this.

Bodice is available on the SL Marketplacet

Nothing But Business

Adam and Eve is one of the oldest stores that I know of in SL. I can remember as a young resident first Teleporting into this shop and thinking, "WOW"! I remember when Adam and Eve brought sexy back with a new line of default SL avatars. To me Adam and Eve is legendary, a part of SL history with wonderful sexy designs. Adam and Eve caters to both women and Men. With one stop shopping you can purchase Hair, Skins, formal attire, casual, business, and shoes.

Today I'm going to talk about two new releases from Adam and Eve, NYC Shirt and the San Belt.
The NYC shirt both are saucy and I love them because they make me feel like a business woman with a sense of style. I really enjoy the unbuttoned look, high collar and sleeves. NYC shirt is available in 6 different colors. NYC shirt is also very versatile because not only is it a shirt, but there is also an option to wear as a dress which I must say is so very cute. The San belt,(shown above) is also completely suited for the sexy business woman look and is a perfect compliment to the NYC shirt. The San belt is available in 6 colors.

Some things I really enjoy about Adam and Eve...........

Demos on clothing-  A total treat, No more wondering if an item will look the same as it does on the ads, with the demo you can have the assurance that you are

Shoes- Adam and Eve turned out to be a hidden treasure of shoes. I have several on my wish list already and joined the subscriber so I can find out about the newest release. A little bird told me that the next pair of heels are going to be a must have.

Friendly Staff- As soon as I teleported to Adam and Eve I was given a warm welcome. I love when stores offer customer service and greetings. It makes me want to spend time at a location and I know that if I ever encounter a problem the chances of it getting fixed are fairly high.

Winter Charm

 

Winter has finally made it's way to the Semyorka/Palliard home, which is great because the Christmas season is just around the corner and I'm in the holiday spirit this year. My little parcel has been transformed into a Winter Paradise complete with a cabin, snowbanks that run along each side and even a few animal friends. It's the perfect little cozy spot to curl up and settle in for the chilly nights.

Another great way to combat the cold is to bundle up, and it seems that I've recently found some goodies which make this task easier and help create some Winter Charm. A cute warm knit sweater from WoE and Thick woven scarf from Exodi are the perfect combination; when wearing you'll forget all about the chill and enjoy playing in the snow perhaps even venture into a little reindeer games.

**News Updates**
Exodi 
Exodi has released some new eyes. Two gorgeous sets are available, "Clear Eye Series" and "Soulful Eyes Series". I found these to be my new favorite eyes because they give a luscious shine that will entrance and captivate from far away. 75L per color 300L for packs of 5

Exodi also has some new winter themed Gotcha items, 21 Beautiful scarves and 5 rare colors . At only 25L per try playing the Gotcha machine means you're always a winner.


WoE
Has two cozy knot sweaters available the Ginger Sweater and The Graham Sweater. Each sweater is knitted and has a sculpted collar and sleeves. The ginger sweater has a defined bell shape collar while the Graham collar is more of a turtle neck hybrid. Both can be worn without the collar and paired with a scarf of your choice. Each sweater is 200L while fatpacks are 1200
