A drift of pink

I’m floating in pink chiffon swirls, courtesy of Sascha Frangilli: this is her group gift for April. I did pay 75 Linden to buy a “grande” skirt instead of the slightly less frothy free one.

I am a born-again fan of Magika’s hair, and this is her latest product: a beautiful long plait with a colour-change ribbon entwined in it. I used to buy Magika hair years and years ago, and then for some reason I stopped buying, but now that I’ve explored her shop again I’m really enthusiastic. The Mesh hair manages not to look too clumpy, with nice strands of hair framing your face. The jewelry is classic Donna Flora, with four possible colours for the enamel flowers.

A bit late for new year, but …. I couldn’t resist this celebration gown from Sascha Frangilli: if I want to make a big swooshy entrance I know that her shop is the place to go. The sparkly “2013” sign was part of the new year group gift from Truth.

Twinkle Twinkle

Just a quick post – I visited the Twinkle Night Bazaar which is soooo pretty and has lots of tempting things, cheap. The fan I’m holding is free from Oberon’s Trick. The other things I’m wearing aren’t from TNB: the Luna Aqua dress from SAS, Khloe hair from [raspberry] (at the hair fair) and (just seen) Earthstones’ opal necklace.

 

Inspired by Plum

Next up on Luna Jubilee’s 52 weeks of colour challenge is plum. I thought I was going to manage this quite well, but in the end I don’t seem to be wearing anything that is exactly the right colour. Oh well. I did start by wearing a Jane undershirt that was the right shade, but that disappeared once I’d fixed on a more sumptuous vintage feel for the outfit. Anyway, I think I am at least circling around the right shade.
This colour challenge has been great for discovering lost corners of my inventory. I can’t remember ever wearing this purple satin jacket (or indeed, buying it), nor these earrings. The headpiece is a “full perms” piece from Random Calliope that I picked up a couple of years ago. I put some of this many-coloured set (this is allowed by the creator) in a box here (in a box on a shelf up behind the bar).

Society Beauty

I wanted to find a black gown to express my sorrow at the price increases for not-for-profits in Second Life (I’m one of those affected) but the outfit ended up looking confident rather than mournful. I have coveted this dress for months, and it is even more lovely on than I hoped it would be. The shape is gorgeous, and the chiffon flutters and floats as you move. I added a favourite black lace bolero.
I felt this hair from W&Y suited the dress really well: it has that carefully tousled look that you can only get from a really expensive hairdresser. Now that I’m using Viewer 2 I’ve been able to benefit from the W&Y hair bases. Alienbear Gupte just gave a beautiful group gift of black pearls, and those and her Mayur bracelets completed the look.
