Darla

I love mix and match clothing; if all you ever have is pre-made, already put together outfits, life can get a bit boring.  Eclectic Apparel recently released a Mix 'n Match line with pieces that could truly go with just about anything.  The Darla Blazer and Pants do have a dress feel to them, but you could easily pair the blazer with a stunning pair of jeans and get a more casual look.  The Bronte Top is the perfect undershirt; it's both delicate and feminine.  The top also is able to hold its own as a stand alone piece if you want to lose the blazer.  The Darla Blazer and Pants are available in fifteen colors each, and the Bronte Top is available in sixteen colors.  Five sizes and an alpha layer are included with each purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview the items.

Eclectic Apparel's contribution for CHIC2 is a little more casual and a lot more sexy!  The Cheer outfit is a design that, like the name suggests, is designed after athletic outfits.  The outfit is available in nine versions of white and nine versions of black.  As with all other Eclectic Apparel mesh, five sizes and an alpha layer is included in the purchase, and a free demo is available for you to preview the outfit.

Week 11 of 52 Weeks of Color - Indigo

Indigo is the perfect color for how I have been feeling lately. Well, sort of anyway. Indigo is a purplish blue that, of course, exists in several shades. I have definitely been feeling a little blue. Maybe not so much purple, though. Lol ;-)

The outfit I am wearing is actually not that new, and it has been blogged many times before in this color challenge I’m sure. But, I couldn’t help myself. Since I first saw the Love Me Skirt by BOOM, I was in love! It is so sweet and elegant. I like elegance and modesty in both my real life and my second life. After all, my second life truly is a reflection of my real life. There isn’t much difference. The Love Me skirt features a main skirt and two smaller prim pieces attached to each leg to give an underskirt type look. It’s so adorable, and at L$75, you really cannot go wrong.

The top I am wearing is also from BOOM. I love the texture on the 4 Warmth Thermal; the shading and highlighting are beautiful and give a nice depth to your ava. This shirt is very versatile; I couldn’t tell you how many outfits I have paired it with. Even better, it comes in a lot of fantastic colors!

My fab-u-lous boots are from Azoury. If you have never heard of them, please check out my post from yesterday. I’m still in utter shock that these boots, and all shoes at Azoury, are only L$99. They are most definitely worth a lot more, but I’m not complaining about the Lindens saved!! More boots for me!

My earrings are the newest addition to The Dressing Room from Glow Studio. A new collection was placed out today; I didn’t have a lot of time to look through everything, but I saw these adorable earrings for only L$45 and knew I had to have them for this outfit. I will most likely be going back later and blogging more items from the collection.

My skin is a mixture of Isabel 01 by LAQ and Windchill Ocean Makeup by Siss Boom. The Isabel skin is honestly a very nice base for all those tattoos that have been popping up everywhere. I’m sure that most, if not all, of you have checked out LAQ skins, but how many of you have been to Siss Boom? Owner and designer Lestat Reuven is an extremely talented artist with an extremely kind heart. She is also very versatile, designing everything from clothing and skin to furniture and landscaping items. You really must check out her store! You won’t leave empty handed.
