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.)

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.

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!

Midsummer Night's Dream at Elemental

My friends at Kastle Rock Couture have organized a hunt called The Midsummer Night's Dream Hunt, which starts on June 21.  I had forgotten some of the details, so I pulled out my copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare and reviewed the play.  In this one, Oberon (king of the fairies), who is having a disagreement with Titania, sends Puck to put drops of nectar from the Love-In-Idleness flower on the eyelids of the sleeping Titania (queen of the fairies).  The effect is that when Titania awakes, she falls in love with the first creature she sees.....and you know the rest.  What fun!  The Love-In-Idleness flower is said to be the purple pansy.  So, my hunt gift is a convenient set of gold cuffs containing a vial of the tricky nectar.  I've made it in two sizes, and they are both resizable.  So, you can wear them on wrist or upper arm.  And, yes, I consider them unisex fellas--'cause Puck would be happy to wear one. 

I'm also wearing:

Top:  G Field--Flower Top--pansy. 

Hair:  Truth Hair--Paige in auburn.

Skin:  Mamboo Chic--Iseb in sweet pale.
