Long Hot Summer

I love markets, especially food related ones so this cute little Market Day prop from Adorkable Poses was just the ticket for a casual outfit for a casual Sunday.

Pose Fair 2012 - It's a couple thing

The third annual Pose Fair still has a few days to run, so I thought I would show you some of the yummy couple poses available. 

(Glitterati - Wrapped)

Glitterati, in my humble opinion, makes some of the best couple and group poses available.  They nearly always fit my shape right out of the box and there are very very rarely ever limbs sticking in places they shouldn't b,e but perhaps most importantly, is Katey Coppola's ability to capture emotion through her work.  The poses above and below are both available from the Glitterati booth at Pose Fair and they are both just so adorable you really do need to have them!

 

(Glitterati - The Whole Day)

 

Pose Fair this year definitely offers a little something for everyone.  Single poses for your every day consumer, gorgeous intimate couple poses such as the two above, family poses and props but.... Pose Fair wouldn't be complete without a little adult fun!  (Please note, this blog is probably NTSFW from here down!)

(Exposeur - Outta Me, Onto You)

I have to admit, I didn't really know very much about Exposeur prior to The Festival of Sin... yes I know.. I live under a rock... but... I had such an awesome time at Festival that I couldn't help but run to Exposeur at Pose Fair to see what goodies were to be had and of course... Ruby didn't disappoint!



(Adorkable & Exposeur - Million Dollar Man)

There are a few fun collaboration pieces available at Pose Fair this year as well that a worth checking out.  This one is from Adorkable and Exposeure and I just love everything about it!

On a side note, I had to bring out my poor male alt today to shoot these photos and I just have to say, I have renewed respect for the male bloggers of our little world.  Your job is tough and so many of you do it so very well!)

Pose Fair runs until April 29th so get your butts over there.

We built these paper mountains, then sat and watched them burn

LaViere has released a gorgeous new collection and I think Azure Electricteeth has really excelled herself.  I couldn't choose a favourite out of the new releases so I'm pretty sure I go one of just about everything.  Many items feature accents which are tintable which I love as a point of difference.  If you haven't check it out yet, I'd highly recommend it!

Also, Zigana has redone her sim and it is just beautiful, with many many awesome areas to snap some pictures.  Lili Brink has done a post about it here, but seriously step away from Harry Potter Your Story for a half hour or so and go and see it, it's worth the visit.

What can I say Culture Shock has me feeling inspired, so i'm back for a second round!

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Blue

Yes I know, I'm late, again.  It really shouldn't come as a surprise by now :p

As half of the world prepares for snow, sleet and Santa some of us are preparing to embrace the warmth and beauty of summer.  Bon fires on the beach, more sunshine than you can sometimes stand and of course the traditional Christmas BBQ surrounded by family and friends.   As the temperature starts to rise I am finding myself more and more in the mood to sport shorts, t-shirts and sneakers in search of the summer fun that is only just around the corner.

Shades of Grey

The sun is white, the moon is grey

And the river is black, blue and green

The young are young, the old are old

And there are no shades of grey in between...

We all know about Luna Jubilee's colour challenge by now right?  This week's colour is grey and as usual I'm a lil late to the party but I did have fun putting this together given that I would say a good 80% of  my wardrobe falls into the gray/silver/black category, so I was set for this week.... the other 51 weeks however, could be challenging!

Today I'm also sporting the new Amber skin from League!  I've been pretty attached to my atomic skin lately and have been uber fussy when trying on new skins but I do have to say Nena Janus of League has excelled herself with the Amber Skin line, it is completely gorgeous and I have spent alll day kicking myself for being a tightass and only buying one makeup instead of the set!    As is usual with League skins, there are HEAPS of options as to how you wear your skin be it with cleavage or freckles or both or none, as well as, an abundance of makeup to keep even the most discerning skin customer (me!) happy.  If you haven't seen it yet, go and have a looksie..

But back to the task at hand 52 weeks of colour, starting with grey!
