52 Weeks of Color Challenge : Plum

The lovely and talented Anya Ohmai told me today about the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge that was created by Luna Jubilee.  It is currently in it's 4th week and I was immediately interested in joining the fun.  It seems like a totally creative way to blog as well as joining together with other bloggers to see what we all come up with.  In addition, I think it will help me to just be a better blogger all around.  We can all be exposed to brands that we aren't familiar with, and broaden our SL horizons!

This week's color is plum and I was frantic because I don't really wear many shades of purple.  It happens to be my sister's favorite color, and even she doesn't wear it much.  I thought and thought about it and I initially wanted to do a Plum Bedroom scene but I couldn't really find anything I liked.  So I went with what I know...clothes!  The shirt is from paper.doll, and it is "Imagine" in Plum.  The leggings are also paper.doll, WildThing in Amethyst.  The foot laces are from Scribble, and they are purple as well.  Fhang Candy made the skin I'm wearing, which has a light purple makeup palette.  The hair is Truth and I colored the headband purple although it's not quite that easy to see with the pose I chose.  NSA created this pose that I thought went wonderfully, as I wanted to seem like I was skipping freely through purple grass.  Nifty that I found purple grass, huh.  Had a blast on my first try for the Challenge...can't wait to see what we have to come up with next!

Thank you Anya! <3 And also Luna Jubilee for thinking this up!

Giovanni: Hey babe, what are you doing?

Anjelyc: I am...looking through my inventory for things I want to get rid of

Giovanni: Why?

Anjelyc: Well, I like it to be organized...u know that! I did urs remember?
Giovanni: yeah...now I can't find anything
Anjelyc: Whatever, its awesome as I am and u know it [clicks a folder & wears]
Giovanni: Where did you get that and how come i've never seen it before!
Anjelyc: I dunno I have a bunch of stuff you haven't seen...since when do I wear fishnet halters?
Giovanni: Well you should start...

In all honesty, it was a really well made fishnet halter & matching boyshort thing but it showed alll the goodies so I had to take that off [yeah, I kept it tho].  For the sake of honesty, I'll say i'm not sure how I even got that because as far as I can remember I had never gone to Indyra Originals before last week.  Now, I could be wrong but I don't recall really.  I'm sure that makes me seem like a total SLoser lol, but hey what can I say.  I wasn't up with the cool kids til recently, and I've only got a visitors pass right now!  That lingere was so well made that I wanted to see more, so I hopped on the handy landmark and ended right in front of the store.  I walked around and realized there was some sort of sale going on, so I got a tad bit excited.  Hey, Puerto Ricans and sales what can I say...i'm a product of my upbringing.  I walked all around the store and then there was this floating woman above my head with her cute little skirt billowing as she bobbed in the air.  I wondered if she worked there, or had maybe just landed and wasn't aware that she was in the air.  Then I realized it was the owner, and she was arranging items in her store so I moved it along feeling quite foolish.  It's ok, you can laugh.  I did...ok stop, that's enough.  There was so much I wanted to buy, I was dizzy from looking at all the fun clothes to wear!  And she makes shoes to match her clothes, that is so nifty.  I find myself at a loss on occasion with matching shoes to my new outfits and Indyra just went and cut out the middle man - awesomeness. 

 Well, as we know I can't say no to a good sale or a cute outfit so yep I bought something and then I found something else and here we all are sharing a blog moment.  It might have been during a hunt..or a subscriber gift or...I don't know, something.  But I do remember getting this pink jacket and being thoroughly confused as to why there was only 2 prims in the folder.  One of those little boxes was the WHOLE JACKET!  There was two versions, and ADM that must take forever, who knows I can't make clothing but its so cute and so I threw that on also, for pictures sake.

There are some really fabulous designs at Indyra Originals and I advise anyone that's never been to go, ASAP.  Anyone that has, hey go again!  Who knows what you might find there that is completely to die for!

FuLo! by Dita Tran

Have you ever befriended someone that no one else understood why you would? When I had just started out on SL, really started not signed up I came across a girl that was brand new and we kind of leaned on one another. We found things, and let each other know and helped make our avatars better together. Once we were in the swing of things, our paths took very different turns as sometimes happens. But, even still we always checked in with each other on occasion just to trade secrets and SL happenings. She was very much into the...other side, shall we say...of SL. When Gio found out we were friends, he couldn't fathom why. We're very different people, and yet we always remembered that initial bond. Maybe our SLives didn't connect, but sometimes you just can't forget when someone helps you out. When Heven decided to leave SL, she sent me a bunch of her things that were transferable & she thought I would actually use. One being her Xcite! kit (LOL) which I have yet to use and probably never will, and another being this very pretty necklace! There was absolutely no information other than a creator name so I stored it away, along with all the fun memories of finding decent hair and skin in a sea of freebiecrapola. A few blogs ago, I pulled this very pretty necklace out and wore it for the post. I had to know where it came from, so I IM'd the creator. A very pleasant woman by the name of Dita Tran, who very excitedly said yes, of course I could use her jewelry on my blog and she hoped I liked it! Well I did, so I did lol. Recently, I went to her shop which is still up and coming, but hell isn't that the best time to find them? She's got a small selection right now, but it is beautiful and I really think if you like jewelry which, what woman doesn't really...you should check it out. When I got there, my eye immediately went toward a gorgeous necklace that I cammed closer to for a better look. And yes, then I bought it! It comes with the matching earrings, it's called "Fleur" and it is amazing.
The pretty dangle-y earrings here are also "Fleur" but a separate option to match with the necklace. The set shown here is just about the most gorgeous jewelry freebie I've ever gotten. The "Gabrielle" set, in an exclusive color just for her subscriber group is a set of round earrings with a matching necklace. The store is on the same sim as Glance skins, so in this picture I thought I'd wear one of those skins as a little shout out. It was supposed to be my skin week, after all. Now, being the nosy person that I am I was curious how she came up with the name FuLo. I found out when I visited her shop for the first time, so you can too! LOL I'll tell you this...it's a great name...her stuff really is F*cking Lovely!
