Brielle & The Christmas Trees

This is the Christmas tree post!  I love a quiet Christmas morning, sitting here with the cat, drinking my first cup of coffee, playing with my SL photos.  This year, I bought myself a present of some beautiful new hair from a little shop called Cheveux, which may be a new favorite for me.  This stuff moves like hair should, much like my D!VA hair--take THAT mesh hair!  Cheveux has some very nice & bouncy long styles that were very tempting, but, alas, most do not show my earrings, so it's the up-do's for me.  This style feels a bit retro, so I've dressed for the occasion.

I'm also wearing the Brielle necklace & earrings from ELEMENTAL, a simply elegant design with a teardrop stone and pearl.  The top photo shows the Greens set, with this pretty Tsavorite stone--also includes lime green Jasper, and aqua Rutilated Quartz.  Shown above is the Neutrals set in Amber--also Snowflake Obsidian and Moonstone.  The Reds set is shown below in Ruby--also pink Jasper and orange Jasper.  The Blues set (not shown) includes Turquoise, Blue Moonstone, and Azurite.

Well, the turkey is in the oven, the stockings are filled, and it's time to get back to rl before the creatures begin to stir.  Here's hoping that you all have a very merry holiday, both in sl and rl!  Merry Christmas!

Isabella On Ice

 So, my friend Tucker put up a lovely ice rink this year, and I've been having a great time there.  One evening, we had a skating parting--what a blast!  But, I've been spending time there by myself, just twirling on the ice and listening to Christmas music.  I'm amazed how much time passes while I'm skating--it's just so relaxing.  My rl hubby bought me a fantastic skating AO, so I've been doing some rather impressive spins and jumps.  Of course, I had to pick up some skating attire--you can't skate in just any old thing.  lol.  I only wish I could skate like that in rl.

 And, of course, I'm showing off some new jewelry--I have to say that I really like this new set, and it's just perfect to make you feel like a princess on ice.  This is the new Isabella set from ELEMENTAL.  Each color set has a necklace, earrings, rings...and a TIARA, but you can choose only the pieces you like.  In the top photo, I have on the BLUES set, which includes this lovely amethyst, plus aquamarine, and the lapis lazuli shown in the photo below.  The second photo, above, shows the GREENS set, which includes this jade as well as a dark maw sit sit, and a green turquoise.  And, then, there is a REDS set (not shown), which includes ruby, carnelian, and red coral.  The ornate metal work also changes texture--you can choose dark gold, bright gold, silver, dark silver, or copper. 

Well, it's back to the rink for me.  There's not much going on in sl right now, and I'm sure that means that everyone is having a great holiday.  Traveling, cooking, polishing things in preparation for visitors.  I know that's what I've been up to.  But, I think I'll take one more twirl before I get back to work.  Have a good one!

A Longing For Lost Things

 I don't enjoy winter, and I refuse to wear a heavy winter coat.  I mean, you can't see your necklace, right?  But, I saw this beautiful winter sim, Dawn of Radiance, on  Ziki's Blog and Strawberry Singh's blog and just had to play copycat.  Above, I am a water goddess floating on an icy lake--at least, that's what I was imagining (insert giggle here).  I am wearing new jewelry from ELEMENTAL, the Galena jewelry.  I've been feeling like wearing long, flowing dresses and visiting fantasy sims, so I've dragged out some of my favorite things.  All of the dresses seen in this post are from Kouse's Sanctum, which closed earlier this year, but was always one of my favorites.  I don't like long dresses made of mesh--they just don't flow.  I miss Kouse, and I just don't understand why everything has to be mesh.  It just doesn't work well for some things.  (Although I am going through the painful process of learning to make my own mesh.  That, and my busy rl are why you haven't heard much from me recently.  And there it is--my excuse for no posts in November.)

 My hair is an old one from Truth Hair, and I am going to whine just a bit more.  As you may well know, Truth has always been my favorite.  Sadly, I can no longer say that.  Since Truth switched to mesh, the hair is like wearing a helmet--no realistic movement.  And, worse, my Truth mesh hair vanishes when I move my camera out normal walking distance, leaving me mostly bald.  And, it's not just me....I've had people tell me that I'm bald.  We can't have that!  I've asked for advice for adjusting settings (the reference in the Truth info card appears to no longer exist), and will post the info if I ever receive a reply.  In the meantime, I will just keep wearing my old Truth hair.  Too bad Truth doesn't make the old ones available on Marketplace.  (That's a hint.  Will someone with influence pass it along?)

Well, enough longing for lost things.  There are, indeed, some new and wondrous things to be had.  Pop over to ELEMENTAL and take a closer look at the Galena jewelry.  You will find 3 sets from which to choose.  Each set is texture changing with 5 metals and 3 stones.  Set 1 includes Red Jasper (bottom photo), peacock Chrysocolla, and Spiderweb Obsidian.  Set 2--Pink Opal, a lighter Chrysocolla (middle photo), and a yellowish Amber.  Set 3--Purple Agate, Chrysoprase, and Lapis (top photo).  The hairband works with lots of hairstyles, but you will need to adjust placement and sizing. 

I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Galena necklace, earrings, bracelets, and hairband. 
Skin:  League--Jen skin in pales.  Purchased full price.
Hair:  Truth Hair--Trinity in dark browns.  Purchased full price some time ago.
Eyes:  Mayfly Eyes--Liquid Light Mesh Eyes--tropical blue.  Purchased, probably on sale.
Dresses:  Kouse's Sanctum--I won't go into detail because they are no longer available, but I purchased the top 2 full price, and the red dress was a group gift.
Location:  Dawn of Radiance sim.  Please see the links to Ziki's and Berry's blogs for better photos of the actual sim and slurls.  And, by all means, go have a look around.

Carinna Travels Through The Haunted Valley

 I've spent a bit of time this week trying to get into the Halloween spirit.  I dropped in at Haunted Valley, which is a very fun place to take some festive photos.  There are witches, ghosts, flaming lakes...things pop out all over the place!  In fact, I had a difficult time taking a couple of pictures because of some rather persistent goblins.  lol.  I have some great new hair from my favorite D!VA that I just had to show off. Also, this week's new release from ELEMENTAL is the Carinna Necklace & Earrings, shown in the top three photos.  This is a simple design that really shows off the pretty gemstones. 

The very top photo shows the "greens" color set, which includes this very pretty turquoise, as well as malachite, green jasper, and chrysoprase.  Above, is the "reds" set--carnelian (shown), coral, red jasper, and ruby.  Below is the "blues" set--The really pretty blue jasper is shown, but there is also a purple sugalite, chrysocolla, and a blue agate.  The "neutrals" set is not pictures, but it includes a golden tiger eye, black coral, white opal, and amber.  That's right!  they change textures, as do most of the jewelry pieces from ELEMENTAL.  Metals in each set include:  Dark gold, bright gold, silver, dark silver, and copper.   (Do you sometimes get the feeling that someone is watching you??)

The bottom photo in this series is the last ELEMENTAL release, the Ravenna necklace & earrings.  Pictured here is the "Halloween Special" color set--Spiderweb obsidian, purple sapphire, fire opal, jack-o-lantern orange jasper, and blood garnet.  The gems are set in a "webby" setting that is just right for the season.  But, there are 3 other color sets that will look great no matter what the season.  (Whoa!  I have a chill.....like maybe someone just walked over my grave...hehe.)

Cleo Relaxes At The Lake House

 Today, I decided it was time to take a break and just relax a bit.  I've made myself this little house on the lake with a huge porch on which my friends and I can sit and chat--probably my favorite SL activity.  I'm still wearing my new D!VA hair because the soft curls are just fantastic, but a change in makeup was in order.  So, I've gone for a bit more eyeliner than usual, and I think it makes for a good look.  This inspired me to work on some jewelry with a retro twist--I'm calling it Cleo. 

The Cleo Necklace & Earrings are available in 4 color sets, each with 4 metals and 4 stones.  These photos are just a few examples of the possible combinations in each set.  Look closely, and you will see the details on the metal beads.

Drop in to ELEMENTAL JEWELRY and have a look at the huge collection of jewels!  There are always hunt gifts to be found, as well as group gifts, and there is a petite jewelry shop next door.  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop.

Portia In Blue

A while back, I picked up this beautiful cornflower blue dress at ColdLogic, but I just didn't have any accessories and hair that I thought matched.  Recently, I purchased this very 1920's hair and it looks great even if the dress isn't styled after that era.  I love the soft brunette color.  The jewelry is a recent release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY called Portia, which features a "love knot" type design with a center gemstone.  There are 4 different color sets available, and I found a stone in each set that I thought looked great with the dress.  Of course, the "Blues" set was the best match and is pictured above with a blue agate.  The "Blues" set also includes a classic blue turquoise and a darker blue jasper.

Here is one of the choices in the "Greens" set--an interesting green turquoise, which I paired with the "copper" metal.  Other stone choices include a yellow-green peridot, and a malachite.

The "Neutrals" set includes this moonstone, which has enough blue in it that it looked really nice with the blue dress.  This set also includes a black jasper (You can never get enough black!) and dark amber stone that will look lovely with your autumn styles.  Below, is the "Reds" set with a coral stone--also includes a ruby and a pink opal.

Yasmine In The City

 I stopped in at the Flawless sim to check out the new Designer Showcase lineup, and found that the sim has been redesigned.  This seems to happen often, but I'm hoping that the current design will last a while because I really like it.  It looks like a very elegant city shopping district.  I took the opportunity to take some photos of my new jewelry--the Yasmine pendant and earrings from ELEMENTAL. 

 There are two sets--one with decorative beads and one with solid beads.  Each set includes 4 gemstones and 4 matching beads, plus 4 metal shades--dark and light silver or gold.  The textures change with an easy to use menu.  In the top two photos, I'm wearing the "Classics" set, which includes red jasper, a really nice purple agate, spiderweb obsidian, and turquoise.  Below is the "Bolds" set, which includes pink jasper, a deep blue jasper, green maw sit sit, and purple sugalite.  My personal favorite is the "Classics" set because I really like the geometrically patterned beads.

Twyla In The Kingdom Of Caprica

 Have you ever been taking photos, really concentrating, and suddenly you realize that you have an audience?  Well, that happened to me the other day when I was at Caprica taking these photos.  Lol.  It's not the first time.  Sometimes, it's a real problem, because the on-lookers don't realize that you are taking photos and get in the way of your shot.  (Well, I'm giving them credit for not doing it intentionally.  But, sometimes you do wonder.)  Usually, if you ask nicely, they will move.  Here, I'm modeling the new Twyla jewelry from ELEMENTAL.  Above, is my favorite version--gold with beautiful Turquoise stones.  The necklace is a collar type design with twisted wire accents, great accessory for a low neckline.  What a statement!

 The jewelry is texture changing!  You get 4 metal choices and 3 stones in each set--Blues, Neutrals, Reds, & Greens (not shown).  The Blues set includes Turquoise, Azurite, and Sugalite.  Neutrals--Black Lace Agate, Amber, Topaz.  Reds--Ruby, Fire Opal, Red Jasper.  Greens--Malachite, Maw Sit Sit, Green Jasper.  You can have a closer look at the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop in SL.  The jewelry is also available in a petite version, for Petite Mesh Avatars, next door at PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.

Rodvik & I Tour SL Castles

 I really enjoy reading Strawberry Singh's blog, and her photographs inspire me to improve my photography skills.  Lately, Berry has been doing "memes" and challenging her readers to repeat them in their blogs.  Well, I have been sorely tempted, but I have resisted because my blog is mainly for business.  However, it's ok to actually enjoy your work, right?  And ELEMENTAL is something I do for pleasure, not profit.  So, wouldn't it be ok for me to do a meme?  (That's your cue.  This is where you say:  "Certainly, Tessa!  You can take some fun photos and still include some new jewelry!")  Well, this week Berry's meme is called "Flat Rodvik" and it is just too hysterical to pass up.  Berry has taken a picture of Rodvik Linden (CEO of Second Life) and made a full size "Flat Rodvik" for us to escort around the SL grid.  (Here's a link to her post:  http://strawberrysingh.com/2013/07/29/flat-rodvik-linden-meme/)

I met Flat Rodvik yesterday, and I took him on a whirlwind SL castle tour.  Above, we are posing on the veranda of a lovely castle at Wizardhat Studios on the Rati dAlliez sim, overlooking an ocean view.

 In the middle photo, Rodvik and I are in the throne room of a castle at the Kingdom of Orlais on the Airys Beach sim, a role play area with a medieval/fantasy theme and lots of nooks and crannies to explore.  I tried to get Rodvik to participate in the role play, but he just stood there.  I guess he's just not into it.

For our final stop, Rodvik and I went to Sourthern Heart on the Momenti Rubati sim.  Rodvik and I had such a great day!  I know Rodvik didn't really want to look at old castles.  He was just doing it to make me happy.  Rodvik is such a "stand up" kind of guy!  LOL.

I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Leah Necklace, Earrings, Bracelet, Ring in Blues (top), texture changing with 4 metals and 4 stone choices in each color set.  Also in Greens, Reds, & Neutrals.  Aurelia Necklace & Earrings (middle and bottom), texture changing in Greens & Blues with 4 metals and 3 stone choices in each color set.  Also in Reds & Neutrals.  Here's a slurl to the ELEMENTAL mainshop:

Darla Goes To The Beach

 I found an interesting place to snap some photos--Trailer Park.  But don't let the name fool you.  There are lots of different "scenes" that make a good background.  I have on yet another new hairdo from D!VA.  This one is called Ange and you can wear it with flowers and with long tresses that hang over the shoulders in front.  I, of course, detached the long hair in favor of the up-do so you could see my new earrings.  The jewelry is called Darla and it's from ELEMENTAL.  I like the shiny woven metal cord and metal beads, which can be either gold or silver.  There are 2 stone choices in each set, and you can change the texture so that you have all of one color, or you can mix them. 
 

 Each set is shown here in the post.  At the top, you have a pretty aqua jasper with coral--I like those colors together.  Then, there is a black jasper with red abalone, amethyst with green garnet, and at the bottom is the blue jasper and chrysocolla set.

It's Roxanne--Not The One In The Song

 Actually, I went to high school with a girl named Roxanne, and I always thought it was a great name.  I feel really pretty today.  I have some great new D!VA hair, and a beautiful mesh top from Maitreya, plus some fabulous new jewelry from ELEMENTAL.  I really like this set--and it's called Roxanne.  The jewelry features a faceted teardrop gem with filigree and texture changing semi-precious stones to coordinate or contrast with the main stone.  In each set, there are 4 stone textures from which to choose, which gives lots of wardrobe variety.  You can also make it shiny silver or gold, whichever suits your fancy, or even a darker silver if your mood is dark.  In the top photo, I'm wearing the emerald set and below it's the ruby.
 

 Oh, and those aren't backdrops you see in the photos.  It's art!  I popped into the Surreal Effects Art Gallery to check out the exhibit and thought it would be a great background for my photos.  The art is done with animated light effects and is quite beautiful to wander through. 

 If you'd like to see the other stone choices in the Roxanne collection, pop over to ELEMENTAL JEWELRY and have a look in the "New" section up front.  Here's a slurl:

The Wonderful Oz Tour

 I found a great  place to explore--Enchantment Island.  There are several different themes you can follow, and this time, I'm doing the Wizard of Oz Tour.  Uh oh!  The house landed on the wicked witch!  Throughout the tour, there are lots of info stations that provide trivia as well as quotes from the original book.  Did you know that in the book Dorothy's slippers are silver, not ruby?  Who knew?  I think this might be a case where the book is better than the movie, so I'm planning to pick up a copy. 

 I'm wearing clothes from Sn@tch, and jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.  This is the Bianca Necklace & Earrings, and I'm thinking it might have some great possibilities for role play outfits.  It comes in 3 color sets--Classics (top), Dichroic Glass (middle), and Lights (bottom). Classics include blue turquoise, black obsidian, carnelian, and green turquoise. The Dichroic Glass set includes a vibrant purple, red, blue, and green choice in "gems".  The Lights set includes a pretty light blue chrysocolla, coral, a lighter green turquoise, and a light colored amethyst.

La Luna

 OMG!  What a creepy cat!  lol.  Yes, I've found another Wonderland-themed sim--I really like Alice In Wonderland.  I found this fantastic new dress with a handkerchief hemline at PurpleMoon and it put me in a party mood, so I went looking for a tea party to attend.  If that Mad Hatter doesn't get here soon, I'm going to have to stick my finger in the cake frosting and have a taste.

 I'm wearing new jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, the La Luna Pendant & Earrings.  It comes in three color sets, each texture changing with 4 metal choices--silver, gold, silver sparkles, gold sparkles--and 5 mix & match stones.  The "Classics" set (top) includes ruby, lapis, tsavorite, turquoise, and spiderweb obsidian.  Set 2, "Lights" (middle) has moonstone, pink opal, blue lace agate, chrysoprase, and citrine.  "Brights" (bottom) includes fire agate, peridot, purple sapphire, blue chalcedony, and garnet.  Here's a slurl for the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop:

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.
