Paperdolls - Day Two

Today is day two of my paperdoll doppelganger series. This one shows my obvious love of stars. It was hard not to let my favorite creep in when I was doing these dolls originally.
I came pretty darn close with the shirts and skirt today. And yes I went old school prim with that skirt. Hey I work with what I can find.
The hair may not be exactly the same, but the colors are fairly close-ish. Like I said yesterday I took a little creative license with the looks or else I would have spent more time searching the whole of SL than I spent actually taking pictures and blogging!

Bossy Bird

It's Disney Bounding catch-up time. This time is it Zazu, that bossy bird from the Lion King. I figured it would make sense to be in a library because Zazu was a knowledgeable bird, though I am pretty sure it wasn't book smarts he had.
I couldn't help but squeeze in a little Arcade action in this post. What can I say my vain self is digging the way I look in the Glam Affair gacha skin, so expect to see more of them. Up next is Mr. Smee, Captain Hooks little cohort.

A Whole New World

I had to title this post the way I did. I mean look at the first picture for Aladdin and Jasmine. I an not going to admit to how many looks I tried before I settled on this outfit for my Jasmine.
This picture was a total accident. I took one where "Aladdin's" eyes were closed and when I went to take the picture again, my eyes were closed. I hacked them together so that both our eyes were closed. It seems all sweet and loving.

Dynamic Ducknipple Duo

I probably shouldn't write up blog posts while the kids are playing Lego Batman, it leads to titles like that.
I don't think we could fight crime in these dresses, but I could be wrong. I guess SuperGirl wore a dress like outfit, or at the very least a skirt. This is not about super heroes though. This is about dresses.
And we look pretty fabulous in these dresses.
Wonder Woman has nothing on my cuffs!

Bang-ing in Yellow

It's time for another random posting, sadly RL has been taking it's toll on me and I haven't been able to blog as much. But that has nothing to do with today's LOTD type post. I hit up The Box, which I think is a new(er) shopping event type thing. There is a little something for almost any fashion style. The poses I am using are new from !bang currently at the Pose Fair.

LOTD - Sweet Mint

I'm Phire in a wondrous land. It's kind of like Alice in Wonderland, but there were no mushrooms, cakes or teaparties. Sad I know. Maybe next time. I hit up Fashion For Life the other day and picked up this adorable mesh dress, that come complete with a hair bow! How cute am I? Here take a better peek.

LOTD - Khaki and Green

I know you can't really see the clothes I am wearing well in this picture, but I had to use it in this post because it made me giggle. Yup I put my name on my mantle above the fire because I am punny like that.Or lame...Oh hey want to see what I am wearing?
I needed to squeeze in some more green before I start with the Spring-like pastels. I really dig this look, so much so that I dressed really similar in RL yesterday. Only my jacket was khaki and my pants were jeans. I don't own awesome pants like those in RL (sad face). Hmm I bet I could recreate my look with the denim version of these pants. Since I am now rambling I will take that as a sign to give up the credits.

Playing with Patterns - Checks/Plaids

I had a completely different look planned for today, but someone yelled at me for improper footwear, so I decided to use that one for something else. It also gave me a good excuse to go hit the sale at coldLogic, not that I really need an excuse to shop. I have lost my flow due to being interrupted so... how about some credits?

Wardrobe Basics - Jeans and a Tee

I think the title says it all, jeans and a tee, staples to just about everyone's inventory. I decided that the rest of this week I would style looks using some of the things everyone probably has (girls, sorry guys I will figure something out for you eventually). I just started with a pair of jeans and a white shirt (the top one) and went from there. I won't make it an official challenge or anything, but if anyone wants to style along with me I would love to see your takes on a white tee shirt and jeans!

Tangelo Time

Hmm well I guess my getting posts set up to post while I was gone was a little failed. It helps to remember to actually write the posts huh? Well that means I still have some color catch up to do this week. It's almost the end of the year which means the end of the colors(for this year at least). On with the blogging eh?

I guess this picture works out this week, what many students taking final exams, or at the very least end of term tests. I look pretty studious, but we all know that is a giant lie.

I still am super cute though!

I should be ashamed by that title huh? Oh well I am sure there have been worse titles by be. Surely there will be more in the future to be sure. Oh hey look a picture!

Fine the office is more cave like than sleek and modern, but hey classics never go out of style. I can just imagine the smell of the old books in that room and the just general warmth of the room. However it is all about the color and clothes so here is a better look at those.

Antique Bronze Studies

So I am finally starting my 52 Weeks of Color catch up. You see there is a reason why I am doing now. I am going away and these will make me look like a good blogger even when I watching my sister get married on a beach in the middle of December. That is a whole other story that no one really wants to hear. So this post is the Antique Bronze color, well as close as I could get really. How about we take a look at the pictures?

I look so studious, which is completely deceiving.

Rockabilly Criminal

I look like I am trying to be all subtle getting into the car. I am such an (un)smooth criminal. So here I am all rockabilly-ed up because Lola didn't think I could pull it off. I know I should be insulted but whatever, I rocked this shit!

Recently Nomine I had a big sale on Marketplace and Lola and I were looking at all the mesh dresses (which you will see more of)and she bet I couldn't do a rockabilly look. I can't back down from a challenge so here it is.

What do you think did I pull it off well? I admit I had help picking the hair and tattoo, because sometimes you need a second opinion. As I said, the dress is mesh and as will all mesh I suggest trying a demo.

Black and Blue

Sometime I see a picture somewhere and I wonder if I can create a look or an image like that. sometimes it comes out spectacularly, and other times it is utter fail. This is one of those fail times. I mean the look I ended up with I adore but it is nothing like what I had been shooting for. But then again weren't some of the greatest discoveries accidents?

The Lion and the Unicorn

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess ( Hey it's my story!) and she lived in an enchanted land. It approached time for the princess to be wed and she was presented with two suitors.
Now I know what you are thinking and no, this is not a story of bestiality. As you may recall I said she lives in an enchanted forest.Well once the two suitors battle for the princess they will turn human when rewarded with a kiss. It's a whole frog prince sort of thing. Now the princess isn't into violence, so their battled by taking her out on adventures and showering her with attention. The unicorn and the princess spent some of their time by a lovely waterfall.
While the lion spent part of his time regaling her with tales of all of his adventures,the good, bad and the ugly parts.
In then end there could only be one, and the princess chose the lion.
The princess placed a gentle kiss upon the lion. I mean she had to be careful, suitor or not he has some wicked sharp teeth! And as with any proper fairy tale, the princess and her leonine prince lived happily ever after.

Astronaut Blue Beauty

So no fancy picture this time round, mostly because when I was taking these pictures SL was being it's usual trolling self.


This dress and color gave me the perfect excuse to go but these tights. See I love patterned tights, stocking, leggings, whatever you want to call them. So I bought a few and landed on these to go with the dress. I promise a more awesome picture next time (hopefully). Oh and I am almost caught back up!

Reading in Thistle

So it has been umm....a lot of weeks since I have done one of the 52 weeks of color challenge post. To be honest I was feeling pretty down about doing them once my color partner left. But I have been working hard the last couple of weeks to get caught up and didn't want to start posting them till I was. Anyway on with the color! This week is Thistle if you couldn't guess...


Hey look now the title of the post makes more sense. One of my favorite places to take pictures lately is on my garden platform, and the furniture lives out there now.



And just a little breakdown of what I am wearing, you know since you can't really see it all in the first picture.

Much needed sunny yellow

Last week was a grey and raining one for my RL, which made me miss the sun so very much. SO I did whatever I do when there is a lack of sun....I buy something yellow! This time a sexy little dress.


Sure there were other color choices for this dress but hello....yellow! And since the dress is a Stumblebum item I paired it with two more Stumblebum items, the jewelry from Miao and the poses from fri.day.


Because Kess loves us and wants us to be happy the stones and metal are texture change so you can have choices. That is the only reason the ring is blue and not yellow, to show you that they can be different colors, though why anyone would want any other color is beyond me.  Anyway onto the credits

Shuttle Grey Gals

So this is the last 52 weeks of color post Sakura did with me before taking a break from SL. In the coming weeks I am dragging Lola into it with me because I like have a friend to torment, I mean have fun with.


We went all out with the grey, that we chose a nice icy scene because, I don't know it made sense at the time.
Maybe we are aliens from a doomed ice planet? Oh well have a look at our individual looks, Sakura first.



I think she has lived in those horns since she got them, and I don't blame her.



Me, I am living in the boots I got at Fantasy Faire time.

The Dark Side

I know the picture is all dark and stuff but umm it lets you see the glow of the necklace better...yeah that's it. Fine fine here is a version with more light....


See I wasn't really planning on blogging this look but then someone said something and well I couldn't just let it go by because it made me laugh. They said they did't want to upset me but...." but you look skeery! like you are the quiet emo girl who goes homocidal >.>" Now I will admit, I was trying for a darker look than my usual. I can't always be all sugar and spice right? I guess that means I achieved it...maybe... Oh I should show you the whole look huh?


Do I really look like I am about to snap and go on a murderous rampage? I mean sure some days I could be tempted, but really who hasn't? I better go before you all think I have lost it completely.
