52 WoC - Week 1 Champagne

The 52 Weeks of Colour Challenge is back!  Woohoo.  Since I completely missed out on over half of it last time, due to RL taking me away from the internet, I plan on finishing this one!  To check out the details each week make sure you follow Luna Jubilee.  This weeks colour is Champagne.

Everything happens for a reason.....

There are times when things go sour and you think you've had enough of everything and are ready to give up.  But it is during these times that the most unexpected things happen.  Or should I say you find someone in the most unexpected way.

If it weren't for a falling out and drama llama central, I would never have had the opportunity to meet the most amazing woman.   When you just click with someone, you just click!  

Ya stuck with me now!

The Little Wind Up Doll.

Just for something different, and to liven things up I give to you

The little wind up doll.

Both outfits are from Luna's Boutique. The cupcake dress (above) comes with the cute tiny hat. And if you, or your friends, touch the cupcakes on the dress you get given one. The clown outfit (below) comes in a full avatar set - skin, shape, eyes, hair, red nose, jumpsuit with cuff bottoms and fuzzy buttons and slip on shoes with pompoms on the toes. (Shape, hair, eyes, nose and pants cuffs not shown).

The reason for my lively blog post today stems from the turn key I was given as a bloggers review gift. It's a new release out at Rabbit Hutch Clothier. Included in the package you get two keys (one attaches to spine the other to chest) and a colour change hud so you can change your key to suit your outfit.

To make the doll experience more 'real' I added the Puppet Doll AO from ## CI ##. It has 5 different stand poses; 2 of which are shown above, a run, ground sit, object sit and flying animations.

Tank Dress coming to *Dreams*

Let me just say...I love this little dress. I got a message in SL yesterday from one happy kitty, Sanura, telling me she had just made her first dress. As well as telling me about her new dress she passed over a fat pack folder for me to check out the goods myself. What may appear to be a simple tank dress can be....just that. A tank dress to just chill out in.

The beauty of this dress, along with all Sanura's other designs at *Dreams*, is that it comes in ALL layers so you can mix it up or wear it just as a dress and not lose your tattoo underlayers. I decided to try out a few styles just to give you some sort of idea just how versatile this dress can be.

Although the dress is not yet released at *Dreams* I can tell you that if you want a sneak peak, Sanura will be putting out two dresses tomorrow for Humpday Happiness. A light blue and light pink dress will be available for 69L. When they are released fully you can purchase them individually for 100L or the rainbow fat pack of 8 colours for 400L. You can't go past a bargain like that.

What is DSN?

Upon going through my mountains of folders and finding that I 'had nothing to wear' today I decided it was time to sort my 'DSN' folder. I was talking with Bill at the time, him being newly introduced to the SL world had no idea what I was talking about. It was then during one of my outfit changes that, my RL housemate/SL Sister, Ember walked past my computer saying "Oooo cute, where did you grab that from"?. When I said it was a DSN gifty, she too looked at me like I had a third eye protruding from my brow. So it seems that it's not only just the 'noobs' that have no idea what DSN is.

DSN - Designer Showcase Network - is a group of designers that offer select items from their store as free gifts to anyone registered in their category with a DSN Kiosk. I checked this afternoon and there were currently 362 Designers registered as offering gifts to subscribers.

The process is all quite simple. You locate a kiosk (there's one here in one of my favourite boutiques) and click the sign. A pop up box appears on your screen and you select which group/s you would like to be registered in. You can select one or all. The choice is yours. Then sit back and wait for the designers to release new items into their DSN vendors, you then get said item delivered to you. If at any time you decide you don't want to receive the free gifts (like who would want to give up freebies, huh) all you do is locate a kiosk, touch it and remove your choices. Simple as that.

The categories to choose from are:

1) Full Avatars

2) Vehicles, Weapons & Gadgets

3) Skins & Hair

4) Animations & Poses

5) Jewellery & Accessories

6) Female Fashion

7) Male Fashion

8) Home Decor

9) Business, Services & Tools

The fact that the two closest people to me SL at the moment, one being fairly new and one being over 3 years SL old, had not heard of DSN spurred me on to take a few happy snaps of recent items I have received via my Female Fashion subscription and spread the word to you all.

I very rarely shop on Xstreet. I'm more of a wander around SL and cruise the shops, get out and about type of shopper. But when I hear there is a sale on Xstreet, I am the first one there with my coin purse full.

Janie Marlowe, Owner of MISCHIEF (also branded as **Mis**) is having a sale exclusive to Xstreet. Her entire collection is for sale for only $30L each. That includes the fat packs. Every item ONLY $30L.

There are over 50 pages of products - 100's of items to choose from so there is bound to be something for every taste. I perused each and every item let me tell you. And I had trouble narrowing down my purchases to my budget. So just to give you a sneak peak as to what sort of things you can find in her listings, I have pictured my purchases below. Each pic has style credits below it rather than at the end of the post.

I hope you all find something you like. The sale is not on for much longer. (There is no end date given all I know is her group advertised sale for 'limited time') so hurry and grab a bargain while you can. And my apologies for my piccies. I am on the craptop at the moment so what looks great graphics on this looks likes a dogs breakfast to others. But I'm sure you'll be able to appreciate the outfits all the same. And one other thing. All my URL listings are on my desktop so I can't link to stores for accessories. But I will still put store names so you can search inworld.
