Lucky Arabella Wins The Prize!

 Do you like lucky boards?  I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that I LOVE them.  When I'm blogging, making vendor ads, etc, I see no reason why I should waste my SL time, so I'm usually standing in front of a set of lucky boards while I work.  Below, I'm patiently waiting at one of my favorite spots, Sn@tch.  Come on....give me a "C"!!  LOL.  (And, yes, I did win the dress!  Yay!)  Oh, yes, jewelry...In this post, I am modeling the newest release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, Arabella.  I actually started with the bracelet, which I think is the absolute best piece in the set, and everything else followed.  The set is divided into packages so you can pick and choose--A Necklace Set with a medium and long pendant which you can layer or wear separately, An Earring & Ring Set containing the earrings and left & right rings, and a Bracelet Set containing the left & right bracelets.  The jewelry is texture changing--gold or silver with 3 stone choices per texture set--#1 includes green Peridot, Turquoise, & Coral, #2 has Sugalite, Chrysoprase, & Fire Opal, and #3 includes Labradorite, Ammolite, & Unikite.  Above, I'm wearing Set #3 with gold & labradorite. 

 In photos 2 & 3, I'm wearing Set #1 with gold & turquoise, and at the bottom, I'm wearing Set #2 with gold & sugalite. 

 You can find the Arabella Jewelry @ the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop.  This weekend, you can pick it up for a ridiculously low introductory price of 60L for each set!  And, while you're there, be sure to check out the hunts and group gifts.

Cover Me In Layers Of Beads And Necklaces!

 I've been thinking of layering separate necklaces for some time now, and I finally got around to doing it.  First, a couple strands of beads.  These are called Lotus Beads because they have a pretty lotus flower motif on each bead.  They come in sets of two colors each, and the strands are texture-changing so you can wear two colors at once, or you can make both strands the same color.  Each set of Lotus Beads comes with a matching set of bead earrings as well (not shown), because you might just want to wear the beads alone.  Next, there is a Lotus Pendant and Earrings Set--also texture changing.  The metal can be gold, silver, or black.  Above, you see the Garnet and Blue Jasper set.  For the center of the flower, you have a choice of white pearl, yellow opal, or green opal.  Actually, you can use all 5 stone textures on the petals or center in any combination, giving you a wide variety of possibilities.

 The second set of Lotus Beads comes in Aqua and Pink, and the third set is Purple and Green.  There is a Lotus Pendant/Earring set in Pink Opal and Turquoise, and another set in purple Sugalite and green Maw Sit Sit.  You could buy all three sets of beads and just mix and match the colors any way you choose!  Last, but very important, is a set of Add-On Chains--7 chains in various lengths, and each changes textures--gold, silver, black, aqua, pink, blue, red, purple, green.  These chains really help fill out the layered look.  They are separate, so you can add one or all seven.  They will look great with other beads or necklaces too.  If you aren't sure how to "add" the chains and necklaces, instructions are included.

Here's Where I Got The Beautiful Hair...And Jewelry

At least once a week I receive a notecard from a customer wanting to know what this hairstyle is--it appears on many of my vendor photos because I enjoy wearing it.  It's really beautiful, isn't it?  (Actually, I was shopping one day and noticed a lady with this hair, and I just HAD to ask her where she got it.  Funny!)  It's Dina from Emo-tions Hair.  OK, now let's play a bit of catch up on the petite jewelry available @ PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, and, of course, it's all available at "biggie" ELEMENTAL JEWELRY as well.  Above is the Petite Adriana Necklace & Earrings in Lights--Peridot (shown above), Turquoise, Blue Moonstone, & Rhodochrosite, Silver or Gold, all in one texture-changing set.  I really like this set as it's a bit different, not a pendant or choker, more like a showpiece to set off any neckline.  It's also available in "Brights"--Amethyst, Spiderweb Obsidian, Amazonite, & Red Abalone. 

 I couldn't resist including this shot.  I'm at The Noble Storybook sim, a magnificent tribute to Beatrix Potter, and I'm standing on her desk!  How great is that for a little fairy?  Oh, and the jewelry--The Petite Kira Necklace & Earrings in "Cools"--Purple Agate, Sugalite, Peacock Chrysocolla, Turquoise, Blue Chaldedony, and Moonstone with Gold, Silver, & Black metal.  Also in "Warms"--Fire Opal, Fire Agate, Red Lace Agate, Amber, Ruby, and Red Italian Glass.  I have to tell you, this was a pain to adapt for petites.  LOL.  But, I think it was worth the effort.

 And, below, The Petite Lilliana Necklace & Earrings in "Classics"--Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, & Maw Sit Sit.  Also available in "Lights"--Rutilated Quartz, Pink Opal, Chrysocolla, & Ammolite--and "Brights"--Coral, Blue Jasper, Chrysoprase, & Charoite.  This one is really pretty and quite versatile.  I've worn it with casual clothes, evening clothes, and when I'm a fairy. 

You can get all of the jewelry shown here @ PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY and ELEMENTAL JEWELRY:

Kira At Skye Neist Point

Let's get away from formal jewelry for a bit.  This week, I'm wearing my jeans and taking a walk at Alex Bader's new place, Skye Neist Point.  As you might expect, this is a lovely sim with beautiful landscaping, and some good photo spots.  Above, I'm on the beach with sand between my toes.  I'm wearing the new Kira Necklace & Earrings from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.  This set features a teardrop pendant, swirled rings, and bunches of tiny beads in your choice of 6 semi-precious stones.  You can change the main stone, rings, and small beads independently, mixing the stones for various looks.  Above, I'm wearing the Kira Cools set with peacock chrysocolla, but the beads are turquoise.  Other choices include purple agate, sugalite, blue chalcedony, and moonstone.

In the bottom photo, I'm wearing the Kira Warms set, featuring ruby stone and rings, with fire opal beads.  Other stone choices in this set include fire agate, amber, red lace agate, and a pretty red Italian glass.  Both sets change from silver to gold.  You can find them at ELEMENTAL JEWELRY:

It All Starts With A Smile

I popped over to a sim called It All Starts With A Smile today and found a lovely little town with plenty of photo possibilities.  There is a beautiful town square, lots of little shops to pose in front of, and ice cream parlor....really nice build.  I'm wearing that great hair I picked up from D!VA Hair--I'm feeling regret that I didn't buy it in more than one color.  And, this is the newest jewelry release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, the Lilliana Necklace & Earrings.  When I made this set, I was thinking it would be a more formal set of jewelry, but I like it just fine with my pretty tops and jeans.  In the top photo, you see the set in "Brights"--choices include Blue Jasper, Coral, purple Charoite, and Chrysoprase, and of course you can change between gold and silver. 

I have been seeing a lot of pink this week, so I pulled out this lovely top from GField and paired it with the Lilliana "Lights" jewelry.  Here you see it in silver with pink opal stones, but you can also choose a pretty aqua Rutilated Quartz, blue Chrysocolla, or Ammolite with a blend of purples and golds. 

Last, but not least, is the "Classics" set--Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, or Maw Sit Sit.  The black onyx would have looked great with this black top, but I kind of like the combination of red and black.  You can have a look at all of the Lilliana sets, as well as some new Petite Jewelry if you drop into ELEMENTAL or PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, and catch it at the low introductory price of only 60L each.  Oh, and there is a fun April Group Gift Hunt going on at both the "biggie" and the petite shops--find the Daisy bunnies and you will have a complete set of jewelry!

Tessa In Wonderland...Or Almost!

I was doing the most recent Twisted Hunt, and I came upon a place called Almost Wonderland, a beautifully detailed place with an Alice In Wonderland theme.  If you drop in, be sure to go the whole route, following the rabbit down the hole, drinking the blue goop to get through the tiny door, etc.  Way too fun!  I'm also wearing a bunch of new, as well as some old items from my sl wardrobe.  The hair is a great new do from D!VA that is currently on sale at Collabor88.  You know I'm a D!VA fan, but I have to say this is one of the best I own.  The dress is a new one (at least for me) from Sn@tch, purchased at a bargain from one of the mob vendors.  I just bought the baby blues @ Mayfly Eyes, a new favorite.  And, of course, I'm wearing new jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--The Dazzling Daisy Necklace & Earrings in blues and greens. 

I like this new jewelry.  It has lots of texture changing options...the metal can be silver, gold, or copper, the main stones and center stones change between 4 choices (3 color sets available--blues, greens, and reds), the daisy petals change between a sparkling silver, gold, and copper, and the little freshwater pearls on the earrings can be a white, blue, or golden pearl.  The blue stones include Blue Chalcedony, Blue Lace Agate, Blue Abalone, and Turquoise.  (Here, I'm wearing the blue set with blue abalone stones, and turquoise daisy centers.)  The green set includes Chrysoprase, Chrysocolla, Jade, and Maw Sit Sit (shown below with chrysoprase stones & Maw Sit Sit centers).  And the reds include Fire Agate, Red Aventurine (actually kind of gold), Red Sea Coral, and Rose Quartz.

Circe's Jewels

Circe, Greek goddess of magic, daughter of Helios & Perse, exiled to an island for murdering her husband (wonder what he did?).  Here she is, searching the woods for herbs to use in her potions.  When I was a child, my school library had a huge book about gods and goddesses.  It was filled with beautiful pictures of the immortals, and I loved to check it out and look at those pictures.  I am still fascinated by the tales and enjoy designing jewelry that I think the goddesses might wear.  Thus, the frequent theme.

I think Circe might have worn this jewelry, so it is named for her.  The Circe Necklace & Earrings will look great with your fantasy or role play dresses, as well as with formal attire.  Just use your imagination!  Plus, it is texture changing so it will give you many options without taking up too much inventory space.
I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Circe Necklace & Earrings.  Texture changing and available in 2 color sets--Classics and Brights.  Classics:  Malachite, Lapis, Garnet, Tiger Eye.  Brights:  Purple agate, Turquoise, Coral, & Peridot.  EJ mainshop:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/bono/221/224/22.
Hair:  Truth Hair--Alessandra in light browns.  Purchased full price.
Skin:  League Skins--Jen in pale.  Purchased full price.
