It's a Wonderful Second Life

I found this dress on the marketplace and had to have it. I've been trying to cook up something creative with this photo stage prop I picked up from Tableau Vivant during the Fairy Tales event. For those girls stuck in medieval times, or have a Second Life in a fantasy realm, I thought this dress was really beautiful and nicely textured. It also comes with sleeve options for different looks - more bang for your Linden.

It's another round of Luna Jubilee's 52 Weeks of Color. This week I decided to focus on post editing the purple feel in the photo rather than throwing on a bunch of purple clothes. I post edited in Photoshop CS5 by applying a color filter adjustment layer - though on photoshop, there are a hundred ways to do one simple thing, but in my opinion, it's the simple things that really make a photo stand out. 

Do you know about the Cupcakes Bake Sale? Every weekend a few contributors in the Cupcakes SIM throw up a few items for discount. Usually pretty cute things. My favorite, and my friend Lexie's favorite, are the shapes offered up from Body Doubles. I'm wearing the 'Laura Hurley' shape. It works really well with my League skin and it was only 50L.

Nothing pleases me more than an update from Truth popping up on my window to tell me that I'm going to part with more linden because I have to have the newest hair. This is Soleil. It can be casual, it can be formal. Whatever it is, it's lovely. And check out these fun sunglasses from Pididdle.

Another trip to the vintage fair. I've been kind of wanting to recreate a Jessica Rabbit look, but I would up with this beautiful dress from Fanatik. I've been waiting for beautiful opera gloves now for awhile and Boom delivers. 

Thank you to the amazing and awesome Scipio Zelin for filling out a suit like nobody's business and posing with me.
