A Kaleidoscopic Prism

 Our days are a kaleidoscope.  Every instant a change takes place.  New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort.

~ Henry Ward Beecher

Placed on the counter at Prism, you will find this delightful beaded tank in Lavender called Shine.  With an all-over floral pattern in delicate shades of purple, this top is a hit when combined with Nathalie, the November gift from Filthy skins.  I've chosen to pair the top with Calista jeans from the November gift from Prism.  My Utopia Eyes in Deep Purple & Blue from Ikon, which I chose to frame with Honoriable Eyeliner in Black from Mock Cosmetics and Mysteria mesh lashes from Geline Cosmetics, pick up the amethyst hue.  I've accessorized with a Lazy Sunday deal called the Kaleidoscope Dangle Necklace and Earrings set from Addiction Jewelery.  This Jolie hair in Driftwood from Truth is an old favorite of mine.

Fabulous in Pink

I stopped by FabFree Headquarters and found this cute Pink Gem Sweater and Jeans set there.  I didn't like the way the bottom of the sweater looked on my avi, so I opted not to wear it and instead donned a blush colored Intrinsic tank from Jane.  My skin is Nathalie, a new release from Filthy Skins.  My hair is Quinnie from Ploom.

Bukka Lucky Board, Filth Skins Group Gift

I'm taking a break from all the last minute holiday errands to share some goodies with you.  My fur coat is a lucky board win from BUKKA which came with the legwarmers I am showing as well as a scarf and Santa hat not in this picture. 
 Under the jacket, I have on a cherry colored intrinsic tank from Jane.  My black jeans are from Cool Beans (I have had these jeans for quite awhile and could not find the landmark for Cool Beans - sorry).  This gorgeous skin is the December gift from FILTHY skins.  While you're there, scoop up the Lip gloss gift for 1L.  Here I am wearing Lip Gloss 03 Light.  I have accessorized with an advent gift from ByKay ~ the Angel necklace.  My hair is a new release from CATWA called YaraV1 in Cocoa (not free).  My DBL Wonderland Ugg boots are a Marketplace find for only 19L.  My sunrise eyes in Dark Green, as always, are from FASHISM.

A Very Rotten Christmas Hunt

There is a short, but dark seasonal hunt going on right now called "A Very Rotten Christmas Hunt."  Not all of the items appealed to me, but I did find quite a few I liked.  This is Mrs. Claus, which comes in this "clean" version and a slightly more macabre one as well. Mrs. Claus wouldn't be complete without Mr. Claus, and he is in the hunt prize as well.  Visit Rotten Defiance and find the black Christmas tree to claim your prize.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sakura/118/192/1501

This Gingerbread crop top was one of my favorites from the hunt.  This prize is from The Plastik and also includes many different eyes and a skin as well which I am not showing here.  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Beautiful%20Machine/115/159/135 

I  also picked up this bad girl tattoo from Diamond, although I don't think I'll be showing it to Santa!   (Really, Santa, I have been a very good girl this year!!!) 
 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Piedmont/171/160/23

Here I'm showing two of the hunt prizes.  First, I love the horns, tail, wings and legs from Favole.  I've often wanted to wear wings in sl, but have a hard time finding ones that look good on my avi.  These are just the perfect size and contrast with the devilish horns :)  In the pic below, I'm showing the tail which you can't see in this one.   http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Netherfield/61/187/77

My dress is the gift from Sakide and it's called Santa's Lil Treat.  I love the soft fur trim on the skirt, upper arms and bodice.  This sleek mini dress is sexy, yet elegant.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dark%20Tranquility/128/88/24

Isn't the new December gift from Filthy skins in Tan lovely?  The classy make up is soft and subtle.  There is a fee for joining Filthy skins, but they offer monthly gifts for men and women, and their skins are high quality.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Red%20Wing/15/101/502

Apple May Designs - Sn@tch

Apple May Designs has a special price this weekend of only 10L for the Eliza skin.  This is an incredible price for a skin of this quality!  Here I'm showing the skin in the dark tone, but there are several lighter shades available.  I'm showing the skin with Biel hair in AlmostGoth from LeLutka, Sunrise Eyes in Deep Warm Silver from Fashism, and a lace top I won from the lucky board at Sn@tch this morning.

Standing in the Moonshadow

Smoky, sultry eyes, soft make up and natural-hued lips are all characteristics of Moonskin Lola, which is a group gift from Moonshadow.  Here I'm showing the natural smoky version of this skin, but you also get natural, natural mauve and natural party.  It's a lovely gift and the group is free to join!  I'm thrilled with this new release from Truth called Petra in raven.  I love the details in this hair including a pulled-back braid and ponytail. 

My outfit is from Snatch - Fish for this Silent Celebration.  You can snag this outfit by fishing at Snatch, or if you are like me and don't have the patience to fish, you can purchase it instead.  It includes all accessories you see in the picture.

MONS group gift Al Vulo Sally in Porcelain

This hot little zebra-striped number is a group gift from MONS.  There is also a giraffe print.  It shows off just the right amount of skin to make your significant other catch his breath and leaves plenty of leg showing. 

I'm wearing Sally in porcelain, complete with push up cleavage from Al Vulo, Fashism Sunrise eyes in Pale Blue, and LeLutka's LEA3 hair in Powder.  They make for a sizzling combo, don't you think?

Grunge Soul Project, Hoorenbeek, and Mushroom Hunt

I decided to drop by the Grunge Soul Project to see what is available in the new collection and just had to try this skin from Bazinga called Skin Melitta Tan.  I'm sure you will agree it is a steal for 100L!  The natural, yet elegant make up is just beautiful.  I love the faint sprinkling of freckles across the nose and cheekbones.  I'm showing it here with a Mushroom Hunt Prize from Belote called My Winter Top.  The gray and black paisley print on this shirt can be paired with jeans for a casual look or will go just as well with a dressier pair of pants.  My hair is Leilani from Truth in espresso.  These tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics (my fav!) really set off my eyes which are Sunrise Eyes in Pale Cool Silver from Fashism.

Check out these boots, which are the latest gift from the Hoorenbeek sub-o list.  Whew!  They are super-sexy and easy to adjust.  You have to have been on the Hoorenbeek sub-o list for two weeks to get these boots.  If you are already on it, head on down there and tap the sign.  These boots are well worth the trip.  If you're not, join the list so you can take advantage of future offers (it doesn't take a group slot and it's free).

Ashli Designs and Mamboo Chic

I have two incredible freebies to share with you today.  The first is this lovely flowered dress from Ashli Designs.  To celebrate 600 members, designer Ashlison Aboma sent out this gorgeous dress to the group.  I love the soft colors and the gentle pattern.  The gift also included the necklace and bracelet I am wearing.  To join the group, send an IM to Ashlison.  She is so generous with her group gifts!

The Dressing Room

I found so many wonderful things in the latest collection from The Dressing Room and The Dressing Room Blue!  First of all, I want to show you this gorgeous skin, Terry Autumn from *YS & YS*.  The eyes are included with the package, as well as a cleavage option, freckles, lashes....what an amazing deal for such a lovely skin!

Also in this picture you can see the Baroque Earrings from [MagicNOOK].  I love the look of the ribbons and the pearly beads and they coordinate perfectly with the LG Femme_Cross Top_sequin - Champagne which you can just get a glimpse of in this close up picture.  See below for the full look.

Here is the top from above combined with these cute TDRspecial Marylin Cream leggings and the TDR gift 2011 autumn shoes.

The glossy sheen of this Tropic of Cancer mini dress from *Fishy Strawberry* creates an elegant, sexy look.  This sleek wonder is also available at The Dressing Room.  Here I paired it with some group gift earrings called Glossy Drop from CS Shapes (not at TDR).

VMC, Addiction and New Release from Al Vulo

I found a new store called VMC http://slurl.com/secondlife/Accessories/120/40/2163 that has very reasonable prices on outfits.  This casual button down top is perfect for fall and comes with a mini-skirt for only 10L.  It's called Guter Casual Outfit Blue, and there are several other colors available.

I'm a big fan of Al Vulo Skins, and in this photo, I'm wearing a new release called Jenny.  This is Orchid 2 cleavage fairy, and there are other make up versions available.  It's not bargain priced, but I *love* this skin and just had to share it with you. http://slurl.com/secondlife/ReMix%20Yo%20LIfe/169/157/1351

My necklace and earrings are from Addiction Jewelery and Afflicted Clothing.  The lacey scrolls of silver combined with the pearl accents create an elegant design.  The set is only 75L.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Jewellery/204/129/38

Filthy Skin from the Platinum Hunt - 10L
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Red%20Wing/15/101/502
The delicate sprinkling of freckles across the nose and the rosy blush on the cheeks on this skin from Filthy is so wholesomely appealing.  It comes with two layers for cleavage.  While doing the Platinum Hunt in Knuglers, I was happy to discover a K on the lucky chair.  This dress also has a corset that I am not showing.
