Raquel Is Looking Forward To Spring!

I'm wishing for springtime, so this week I have to offer a new jewelry release called Raquel--a casual set with pretty, chunky stones in vivid colors.  This jewelry is perfect to wear with your jeans or with a cute spring dress.  There are 3 color sets from which to choose-- Lights, Bolds, and Earthtones--and here you see an example of each.  At the top, Earthtones, which includes this Spiderweb Obsidian.  I think you will like this black stone as much as I do.  It's difficult to come up with a black that has some character to set it apart, but this obsidian has white "spiderweb" veins running through it for just the right amount of variation.  Also included in Earthtones is a pretty Rutilated Quartz, Moonstone, and Amber.  The dangling pearl adds just enough of a "girly" touch.

Photo #2--The Lights set, which includes this beautiful Amazonite stone as well as a very lovely green Chrosoprase, Pink Opal, and Lavender Chalcedony.  Now, that's a set of springtime colors!

And, last but not least, I can never resist a set of bright Bold colors.  The Bold set includes this Amethyst and a gorgeous "peacock" Chrysocolla with blue and green shades, a peachy Coral, and Jade. 

Here's a slurl to the NEW ELEMENTAL JEWELRY location.  That's right, we had to move rather unexpectedly, so be sure to delete your old landmarks and get the new one.

I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Raquel Pendant & Earrings, Texture Changing sets in Bolds, Lights, and Earthtones, and each changes between Silver & Gold.  You can resize for a custom fit, and adjust the glow, shine, and full bright to your liking.

Skin:  League Skins--Jen in pales.  Purchased full price.  League has some very pricey skins, but OMG are they beautiful.  I had to save my lindens for months to buy this, but I'm really enjoying it.

Top:  The Sea Hole--LaceBack Tank, which I have in several colors.  Purchased on sale.
Location:  Tuckerdoo's Photo Studio.  My friend Tucker has a new photography studio where you can have individual or group photos made.  Lucky me gets to use the studio!

Silver Splendor

As I'm sure you know, I'm a Truth Hair fiend, and you've caught me at the Truth District having a browse in the wee hours of the morning.  There is going to be a big anniversary sale, and much to my delight the Sea Hole already had their sale item out.  At 44L each, I had to buy this lovely top in several colors.  I'm also wearing a new item from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--the Splendor necklace & earrings, this time in silver.  The set I'm wearing above has really pretty light purple amethyst stones--perfect for my new top!  Here's a closeup:

The silver Splendor jewelry is available in several other stones--A lovely green beryl, aqua-ish chrysocolla, sky blue topaz, and peach moonstone.  And...the three colors shown in this post are all on sale this weekend!  You can get the necklace or earrings in your choice of stone for only 60L in the 60L Weekend Sale.

Tropical Elements Jewelry

If you read my blog very often, you know that I have two favorite hair shops--we won't mention any names.  lol. However, I was doing some shopping at G Field the other day, and saw a lady wearing some really nice hair.  She dropped me a landmark for Emo-tions Hair--so here I am with a very different look--love the braids.  I'm also wearing the newest release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--the Tropical Elements jewelry series.  At the top is the Tropical Earth Necklace & Earrings--silver with green aventurine stones.  (Good news my petite mesh avatar friends--I've nearly finished a petite set of the Tropical jewelry.)

Ric Rac, Turquoise, & The Sandpiper!

Wow!  I don't feel like I even need to blog my new release after Peny's post on Syle-My-SL, http://style-my-sl.blogspot.com/2012/03/black-on-black.html.  But the contrast is interesting, isn't it?  There is Peny, all mysterious and black, and here I am with blue ric-rac!  I'm having a day out at the Sandpiper Art Gallery, wearing my new dress from the Sea Hole.  And, of course, I'm wearing the new jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--the Sierra Necklace & Earrings in Turquoise & Coral.  (Yes, I'm on a turquoise roll--expect more in the near future.)

Let's move in for a closeup--I really like the earrings.  Here, the jewelry is shown in daylight with no fullbright.  I prefer that because I think there is more definition to the piece and the textures that way.  But for all you gals that like your jewelry to show up at night, I've included a separate set of fullbright jewels in each package.  And you can grab either the earrings or necklace for a steal this weekend--Only 60L each in the 60L Weekend Sale!

Take The Turquoise Challenge!

I really like turquoise, and I've always thought of it as something to be worn with more casual clothes. However, I recently saw someone wearing a chunky turquoise necklace--with black formal wear. I was blown away! I would never have put the two together, but it looked fantastic. So I decided to make a double stranded, chunky turquoise necklace for a bold fashion statement.  The Panache Turquoise Necklace & Earrings from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY is our new release this week.  Take THE TURQUOISE CHALLENGE!  Use turquoise as part of a more formal look!

I'm thinking the turquoise jewelry might also look great with a complementary red gown.  Anyone want to try that combination?

But I'm always going to grab turquoise to go with my daywear.  Here I am relaxing in this pretty swing, all decked out in a turquoise tank and skirt, with my chunky turquoise jewelry.
