Have a great weekend!!!

18 weeks of doing the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge! I can't believe how many bloggers still are participating - it's great!  I've been getting a little lazy but this week I forced myself to get this done before the weekend - and I did it!!!

I really wanted to do a summery type post this week (we just got a whole bunch of snow this past weekend and I'm SO ready for winter to pack it up).  So I was very surprised to see that I had a dress for Ecru already in my inventory. Such a simple, summery feel to it, waiting to be dressed up however you like.  Imagine a cardigan, a picnic basket, a large sun hat, or maybe even a man (or woman) by your side.  I so can't wait for Summer!

Tuli is one of those my favorite places for skins. I hear that a new skin is arriving and I am there! And for the Vanity Universe Skin Fair, Tuli gives us Zoe. One of my favorite features of the skin is the cheekbones. What can I say, they are hot!

All the skin tones are beautiful, but my favorite is the sunkissed, especially as I pray for warmer weather in RL. And since Sunkissed Zoe is my favorite, the rest of the pictures are taken with that skin tone line.



Zoe comes with tons of options and your combinations are almost endless. Six makeups are available and these are on the skin layer. (see above)



You also get an additional 8 brow and 12 lips options (see above for example); 3 lash options; as well as cleavage and freckles.



*black brows on the left; original brows and freckles on the right*


All these are tattoo layers, so if you are using a non 2.x based viewer, using all these options at the same time is not doable. This skin and all the options makes me want to try Kirsten's or the official SL viewer again. (maybe, just maybe, I can get shadows to work consistently this time....)

You can only get the Zoe skin at the Skin Fair, which runs until March 6th.  After that, you can get it at the Tuli Mainstore.

I went to the Vanity Universe Skin Fair's Bloggers day this past weekend and grabbed loads of demos and proceeded to spend the rest of the day trying them all on. It took me awhile to whittle them down to the ones I liked and then to the ones I loved.

One of those skins was Grixdale's Emery skin line. There is a quiet softness to the skins. I pretty much love all the skin tones, which there are six options.



There are seven makeups available but you can only get the Bullet Proof makeup in the fat packs. Many options are available with each makeup: day or night makeup, freckles and cleavage.  The picture below shows the skin without the cleavage option on the left and with the cleavage on the right.



The only unfortunate is the lack of blonde brows option. But I have left my blonde roots behind me, so I am cool with this.

Every time I thought of this week's Color Challenge, I pictured Burnt Sienna and that didn't make me happy. I never liked that color and when I was younger and colored, I would never used it. I know, I'm such a color snob :-P

So I was happy when I saw Whippet & Buck's 50L Friday offering this week, I was happy.  I really liked this hue of Sienna. The top comes with multiple layers and that makes it easier to create outfits. And I know I have blogged Reek's Papercut Cardigans before, but they are one of my favorite items in my inventory. Speaking of favorites, I love long skirts (especially ones without systems skirts).



So in keeping with my blogging resolution for 2011, it's time for the location. This time I went to Farm House @ Lee County, MS, Mississippi Delta East.  There is a neighboring sim that you can visit as well. Think Rural, Farm Land and a nice big wooden water tower.

I have enjoyed wearing this outfit and have been doing so for awhile now.  I feel like Lois Lane from the old Superman comics or some 1940's pinup girl. I wasn't going to blog this, but I've had quite a few requests for this outfit so here it goes :-)
