Okay, when I saw that the 52 weeks of color challenge for this week is sepia, my first thought was “That’s easy, dress in anything and slap a sepia filter over it.” but well that is not the thought behind this, right? So the second thought was “Oh my..” I have a lots of browns in my inventory but it still was a challenge. I am not even sure IF the items I chose fit into the broad understanding of Sepia, but for me it is, and that is what counts, right?
After putting everything together, I was actually looking for myself. For this Picture I changed my haircolor and my skin and I don’t recognize myself. Not that I don’t like the look, but those changed parameters are so not me *laughs*

I have never been much of a Boot type, but recently I find more and more often, that I love them. So when I saw those boots from Lassitude & Ennui I knew I need them. Jackal Ennui makes all the sculpts and textures herself and there is so much detail in them, so lovely and I for myself can feel that she loves to do what she does.
The first boots to show off, are called “Thecla” and they come in 6 colors. Since I fell in love with the deep vibrant red I’m showing you those The other colors are sea, black, brown, gray and purple.
Also new in this is Ayla’s new Dani pants with a very high waste, and gosh I love this. Never had anything like this before and I have no idea why. Once again Ayla topped her own performance with this completely hand drawn piece of clothing.
Also they are participating in the “Happy Holidays from ..” hunt, which runs from Dec 10th to 31st, and is organized by CHIC Management. And those Assassin boots are the prize in grey. They are just awesome and not only for villains. After the hunt is over they will be available in more colors, so don’t forget to check back on New Year.

“According to a Native American legend if anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted.”
This I found last week on a Flickr page of Kaycee Nightfire and the next day I made a pose set for this, that will be available during Project Donate. Even that I try not to use my stuff in my blogposts here, I just had to use one of the poses, because it did fit perfectly into what I wanted to do with this picture.
Today when I logged into SL I’ve got big eyes because I’ve gotten a blogger pack for hair that will be releases during the Hair fair and I had seen a little sneak preview when Mina, the creator, visited me a month ago. I immediately fell in love with all the little daisy flowers all over it. Not too many to bury the hair not too few to get lost in it. So you can tell I was pretty excited after waiting the whole of August for this moment, because I knew exactly how the picture should look like and what I wanted to use – SySy’s Joelle is just perfect for it.
Yay, finally. And I really like how it came out. Of course I made my wish, but only the little butterfly knows which, and it will stay like it until the butterfly will let the Great spirit know about it

“‘Twas just a garden in the rain
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of color – ‘neath skies of gray
The raindrops kissed the flower beds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seemed to say
Surely here I was charmed beyond compare – to view
Maybe it was just that I was there – with you
‘Twas just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way”
I do not know how you like old movies and music, but i got this old song stuck in my head while i was wandering through the a Dark Fairies Dream Sim. Among all those beautiful flowers, ponds and trees the rain was falling on me. I love rain in all lives, walking in it, dancing in it, feeling the cool drops on my skin, soaking through my clothes. So I just had to make pictures.
It was a perfect opportunity to show off some of the things I’ve got lately on hunts and shopping tours. And because i could not decide which photo to take, I’ll show more
And i really love this jewelry set from Phoenix Rising I got on their closing sale. It won’t be there any longer after this month, so do yourself a favour and run there. All the clothing, Gowns, Jewelry, Lingerie.. for only 100L$. That’s a steal. Oh and not to forget that you really should do the Iconically Sexy Shopping District 2010 Summer Hunt on the ICON sims for awesome gifts of some very generous designers.
A little close up of the jewelry so you can see some of the lovely details.

Today was one of those days when i needed distraction. Usually i am not really girl like when it comes to that. The girl friends i know go for a shopping tour or eat ice cream – i usually watch some movies, preferably those without brain requirements. But today was different, i actually left my hermit land and went out to shop.
Well i wanted to get some shoes i have seen on the feet of a friend but the shop’s mainstore was not accessible (the whole continent was down, way to go) so i went into a satellite store. Well of course they did not have the shoes i wanted so i looked around in the next section and oh my heart started to sing it was the Discount Second of another store.
After having a short chat with the owner – and her thankfully correcting a pricing error so i could get lovely new ballerinas I’ll show off in another post – i looked around a bit more and fell in love with a beautiful dark emerald dress on a wall just 20 meters in front of me.
It did not take another second before i bought it not even caring about the price *lol* but it was alright, not too much and so pretty. As soon as i went home i slipped into it and i knew i had to show it to you and i knew exactly how i wanted to have it.
Isn’t this dress a dream?
And i am super happy i remembered this Skin i got from Dezi Jarvinen (the owner of Staged) because it fits quite nice into the view. And because it’s so beautiful here a closer look of the face with this special and very creative make up.
