Esperanza Goes To The Prom

 Have you ever been accused of wearing clothes that were meant for someone far younger than yourself?  Well, I think I can safely confess that is true of the dress I'm wearing here--it's called "junior prom", which pretty much says it all.  Oh well, this is my SL, I can wear whatever I want!  I just like the pastel colors. 

The jewelry I'm wearing is one of the newest items from ELEMENTAL--the Esperanza Necklace & Earrings.  Pictured is an example from each of the 4 color sets.  If you don't feel like pastels, there are darker, richer shades in each set.  The "Blues" set includes this clear blue Chalcedony, as well as a deep blue Lapis, and purple Charoite.  The "Greens" set includes the green Turquoise, above, plus a dark Malachite, and Jade.

"Reds", shown above--this pretty Rose Quartz, a red Jasper, and red Coral.  And show below, the "Neutrals"--Mother of Pearl (in photo), golden Tiger Eye, and Black Lace Agate.  The pictures were taken in the new ELEMENTAL mainshop building--you should go have a closer look. 

I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Esperanza Necklace & Earrings.  Texture changing in reds, blues, greens, or neutrals.
Hair:  D!VA--Mana in black amber.  Purchased full price.
Skin:  League--Jen in pales.  Purchased full price.

Simone Enjoys The View

I've been reading travel blogs again and found this really lovely sim called Natural Mignon Colore.  I can't tell you how beautiful the landscape is, and how vivid the colors.  I'm still not finished exploring, so you can expect to see more later.  I crawled through one of those little doors that you see all over SL, and ended up in an art gallery with big, blue, glowing windows.  I'm wearing new jewelry from ELEMENTAL with which I'm very pleased.  This is a set called Simone, an asymmetrical design with beautiful semi-precious stones.  I especially like the blue Lapis Lazuli, above. 

 Here is the "Reds" Simone set, shown here with a deep red abalone and dark silver metal.  I think it looks nice with this red and black dress.  Below, is the "Greens" set with an especially pretty green turquoise.  You can find the Simone jewelry this week @ ELEMENTAL.  It's the new release, and it's all at fantastically low introductory prices.  The "Blues" set is in the 60L Weekend Sale, and the other pieces are 75L.  (Yes, I'm busy, as usual, and will no doubt leave it on sale all week!  lol.)  Be sure to stop by the ELEMENTAL mainshop--it's freshly remodeled!

What I'm Wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Simone Necklace & Earrings--Texture Changing, available in 4 Color sets.  Blues--Azurite, Blue Jasper, Lapis, Sugalite.  Reds--Pink Jasper, Ruby, Carnelian, Red Abalone.  Greens--Labradorite, Green Turquoise, Malachite, Green Jasper.  Neutrals--White Abalone, Chocolate Agate, Amber, Spiderweb Obsidian.  Each set has a choice of 5 metals--Dark Gold, Bright Gold, Silver, Dark Silver, Copper.

Blue Lily

 Well, it's Friday night, and I'm out with my friends for some dancing.  I have on some great new pants from my favorite Sn@tch, and I finally broke down and bought some Slink feet.  I was really having problems fitting the newer mesh items from Sn@tch and even sent a note to the designer asking for fitting tips.  I'm not sure if the sizing is now standardized or what, but suddenly they are just perfect. Yay!  As for my feet--I didn't think I'd ever buy mesh feet.  I always wear shoes in SL, so why bother, right?  Well, I should have known that eventually there would be shoes made to fit your mesh feet rather than having to match up the ones with shoes and feet combined.  These are great, and I am very happy with them.

 My jewelry is the new Lily pendant, earrings, and bracelets from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.  Here, I am wearing the blue set, which includes 5 metals and 4 blue stones--Blue Jasper (shown here), Sodalite, Sugalite, and Blue Moonstone.  There are three more color sets--Reds (Carnelian, Ruby, Red Jasper, and Rose Quartz), Greens (Chalcedony, Tsavorite, Peridot, and Malachite), and Neutrals (Amber, Abalone, Opal, and Spiderweb Obsidian). 

 Also new from ELEMENTAL is the newest special edition jewelry set--the Bianca Necklace and Earrings in Red Jasper with texture changing metal in either gold or silver.  You can find the Bianca set @ Designer Showcase during the month of March.

I'm wearing:
Jewelry--ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Lily Jewelry--texture changing.  And Bianca red jasper with gold or silver--located at Designer Showcase. 
Hair--Short--Dura Hair--Girl*49 in mocha.  Purchased full price. Updo--D!VA Hair--Locuala in topaz.  Purchased on sale.

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.

Jewelry: ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Twyla Jewelry--Texture Changing, 4 color sets from which to choose.

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.
