52 Weeks Of Color-Week 30- Ruby

I can't believe I finally caught up to everyone on Luna's 52 Week of Color Challenge. I'm really excited to be at this point. When starting this challenge I made a commitment to myself that I would complete all 52 weeks and slowly I am. Now if I can only stay on track with the remainder 22 posts I'll be all set.

For this Color Challenge I decided to use a deep shade of red to capture the Ruby color. Ruby is my favorite gemstone because it happens to be my RL gemstone, gotta love the month of July. Today's look is compromised of items I already own, so I didn't need to make any special purchases for this post. It did give me a great excuse to sort and use things I had stored away.

The Next Color Challenge post is going to be Denim. I have almost a whole week to find my outfit, I am totally on the hunt for it. *crosses fingers*,  I hope I am able to find something cute to wear, after all I love dressing up.

52 Weeks of Color- Week 29-Neon Carrot

At first when I read that this week's Color Challenge was Neon Carrot I became a bit nervous. I thought I used all of the bright orange hue that I owned in my Tangerine post, but thankfully I found a surprise in my inventory from Evelyn Hartshon owner of PomPomPom. This gorgeous bathing suit was given as a gift for subscribed members to celebrate over 1000 PomPomPomers. Evie did such a great job on this bikini. I am in awe of the finished look of it all, it's just a small sample of the beautiful handcrafted designs you can find at PomPomPom.

I have one more color challenge post to complete, Ruby. After that I will be completely caught up! I'm so looking forward to it. Let's hope I can find some Ruby soon.

52 Weeks of Color- Week 28- Pink

Pink Pink Pink. It's actually one of my favorite colors to wear in SL, because it's the ultimate girl color. Soft and Romantic Pink is a hue that I think brings to mind utter femininity. Normally I would use this color as an excuse to wear something frilly but today I decided to break out and bring a bit of edge to this color by sporting a Roller Girl look.



I picked up a total cute pose box set from Olive Juice, Sexy Sexin'. This set was a part of the 50L Friday and includes six poses. It's modifiable which means you can tint the color to your preferred choice. Oh and Olive Juice is hosting a photo contest as well. A total of four winners will be selected to have their pictures grace the walls of the Olive juice store. Your entry title should be clearly stated it's intentions to enter and sent to the Olive Juice Flicker page. Winners will be announced on Monday June 19, 2011.

The next color challenge post color is Neon Carrot, Fun Summer color with perhaps a bit of Vitamin A.

Country Chic in Italy

Tomorrow is the big day L'Abel is releasing their new summer collection, Country Chic. I have to say the new line is so much fun to wear because of it's romantic whimsical upscale apperance. It's perfect for mixing and matching and is 100% comfortable for summer. Nef has done such an amazing job with the textures, incorporating the sculpts and creating key versatile pieces which can be mixed and matched effortlessly. With so many options available wearing L'Abel so much fun.

I am showcasing three photos in my post today all using L'Abel pieces. I choose to stick with a white/pink color range, because they are my two favorite colors. There are other colors available in the new line. All are soft elegant shades which resemble light airy breathable textiles. Saying I love the new L'Abel is not enough. My admiration for Nef has seriously grown by 10X what it was before.



I want to point out the location where these photos were taken, La Perla II-Old Italy. I want to provide credit to Strawberry Singh for first blogging this location. We had kinda a serendipity moment where she posted right as I was taking pictures. I was a bit reluctant to complete this post using these photos, I didn't want to be a copycat.  Strawberry does such a wonderful job highlighting the sim, better than I did. Her post, titled "So Social" provides wonderful information for content creators and for others on your online presence . She's a true teacher of SL. Thank you for always providing us with so much, several tutorials and news and insight on Second Life.

Shaggable? Yes I think so...

It's not often that I enter a photo contest, but when Shag announced their, "Are you Shaggable? "contest I couldn't resist and decided to enter. I'm a big fan of Shag hair, in fact some days it's all I want to wear because it's just so pretty. I've discovered some styles work perfectly with my bloom doll and others are great for breaking out the sultry side of Bells. Shag hair is always a win. I know the chances of me actually winning the contest are slim with so many amazing photographers in SL. but it's fun entering anyway. After all, It gave me an excuse to blog in my undies.

Let me provide you with a bit more details about the contest. The rules are as follows
1. All entries must contain Shag hair
2. Max number of entries is 2
3. Please post photos to the flicker pool and title them your name "I am Shaggable"
4. Be Shameless

The contest will run until June 19, 2011 when winners will be selected.
Two Winners one Male and Female will win and become Shag hair models for the 2011 Hair Fair plus Hair releases for a year. (The hair for a year makes me all giddy)

52 Weeks Of Color-Week 27 Olive

Ciao A tutti!
Oggi parliamo di Cucina. Oggi faccio un dolce alla fragola. la fragola e' la mia frutta preferita perche e' di colore rosso e gusto dolce e aspro.

"Hi Everyone!
Today we will talk about cooking. Today I'm making a dessert of strawberries. Strawberries are my favorite fruit because of the red color and sweet and tart taste."

As you can tell I've been practicing Italian and I have to admit I had a bit of help from Frankie on a couple of the words, but I think I'm slowly improving. Today I actually did make a strawberry dessert so I had a bit of fun in my RL kitchen and decided to extend it into SL as well. (so silly I know)

I decided to use my lovely bloom doll again and dress her up as a Italian Casalinga. (Although frankie says she's too elegant for the kitchen.) Today's post is on Olive. I had this outfit picked out since last week, but because I was a bit wrapped up in RL I had to postpone this post until today. Ivalde's Cyntia dress in Olive is perfect for my look today because it has a nice European flair. I love the embroidery on the chest and the frilly sleeves and dress bottom. Wearing this makes me feel fancy, perhaps a bit too fancy for just a normal housewife. Darn this makes frankie right...Well let's just keep this between us.


Oh and the next color challenge is Pink. I have oodles of this color already in my inventory. I can't wait to try and put together a look. I promise no bloom doll.

Cupcake and News from Bells Boutique

Hello Sweethearts!
I've been working pretty hard on a new store and new dress. I am so excited that I finally get to show the newness to you.

First off Lets discuss the New Store. Due to space limitations I had to move my store to a bigger location. (No more Pink Hostess Snowball.) Bells Boutique has a brand new build and has three separate areas of the store. Our hair shop has its own wing and is now called Mane Attraction. Our clothing line is still Bells Boutique. I've moved older items to the SL Marketplace and left newer ones inside our shop. I am also working on new clothing, so keep an eye out. Finally, I'm selling boxed kittens at my store. I currently have a big love for KittyCats and  thought I would share the cuteness with others.



On to the dress. The Cupcake Dress is my first experimentation with Maya sculpts. The Cupcake dress is available in Six colors: Sugar (White), Grape Ice(Purple), Lime(Green), Cornflower(Blue), Coconut (Light Blue) and Berry (Pink). The Cupcake Dress resembles the sweet dessert in it's poofy balloon style bottom. The Cupcake dress has a  polka dot  pattern and is accent by a flower waist. Each color is named after a frosting flavor and is perfect for anyone that has a sweet tooth. The Cupcake dress is only 150L for each color and is available at my store location as well as the SLMarketplace.













Oh and I'm still selecting one person to Win the latest release. The qualifications for  entry into each contests is really simple. Just click my subscriber kiosk at the front of Bells Boutique. As a member you are automatically entered into the contest. I choose at random so everyone has a fair chance.

Today's Winner is Golden Cloudring!!

Congrats! you get a copy of each dress in what I like to call the Skittles Pack.  Enjoy and don't forget to tell your friends about Bells Boutique.
