What's in a name - A Bloggers Challenge

Ok folks. I am about to put out my very first challenge. I'm not sure how many of you will actually go through with it. But I couldn't resist.

I was sitting at home, bored with no one online to bug, I mean hang out with. I decided to have a surf through XStreet and on a whim I typed in my name to see what was out there. I was actually surprised to find a lot of things referenced back to my name. Now one thing I must mention here though, is that I spell my name with a "U". So when I searched in XStreet I searched for things called "Aurora".

And that's when it came to me. I was reading a post recently on Alicia's blog where she asked for someone to come up with a new challenge. Why not, I thought to myself. I've never set a challenge before and this seemed something different and unsual. I mean..how many bloggers out there will be able to follow through with this completely I wonder.

The above picture is me wearing all items called Aurora or Arora. The only this that is not, is my shape - I kept my original shape. The top is the Ballet Sweater from fri.day as I was unable to find a top called Aurora/Arora.

I'm sending out a challenge to all bloggers to see if you can put together a complete outfit that has been named the same as your SL name. Different spellings are a given as we all don't spell the same ie: Britney - Brittany, Jenny - Jennie, Chris - Chrys etc. Can you do it? Skin, Shape, Eyes, Hair, Clothing, Shoes, Accessories - you name it.....as long as it has the same name as your SL name.

Good luck to any that follow through with this. And if you could post a link to you blog in my comments so I can check them out that would be great. Will be interesting to see wht others come up with.

Me on the other hand....I'm not too sure about the new me. Think I preferred the old me and will be going back to normal.

What I'm wearing:

Skin: Aurora Skin 9, from *CC*

Hair: Aurora Blonde E, from Magika

Eyes: Aurora, from Charismatika

Skirt, Braces, Neck Scarf and Shoes: Celtic Plaids Kilt Set Aurora, from Entropys

Top: Ballet Sweater in berry, from fri.day

Couverture & Maitreya

My first shopping spree of the new year took me Couverture, by Chocolate Arashi, in Padan.

A friend had recently plurked about wanting to "oogle friends in them" and by the looks of the pics he had posted, I had to go check out the designs for myself.

Of the 9 odd outfits I purchased, my favourite has to be the Zephyr. The dress shown is the White version (also available in Wistaria, Amber, Coral Pink and Green).

Chocolate's attention to the little details is stunning. All of her outfits can be dressed up or down to suit the situation. Prim attachments for each outfit come with all possibilities of attachment points in the one folder. With one set of "no scripts" and one set with resize scripts. This girl thinks of everything!

Of course every new dress deserves a new pair of shoes. Now I must admit when it comes to shoes I am quite picky and tend to stick to the ones I have known for a while. So when reading through the list of "Best of SL" on my plurk line I went and checked out some of the nominees for Best Female Shoe Designers.

Maitreya where have you been all my SLife. These shoes are just fabulous and reasonably priced. The hard choice now was which ones do I buy?

After perusing the many shelves I came across the Frenzy stiletto straps with open toes. Choosing the pearl colour I flew home to try on my new outift. These shoes were made for this dress!

All in all my new years shopping spree ended on a high and I am quite happy to say that I LOVE my new clothes and shoes.
