LunaJubilee's Color Challenge: Wk 4: Iron

I am having a lot of fun with Luna Jubilee's color challenges.  This week was a lot harder than I expected.  I have an abundance of greys and silvers in my inventory but what really appeals to me about this challenge is that I can be totally obsessive and find the best matches.  I try and stay as literal to the color swatch we are given.  I'm not a very literal person but I can be a perfectionist, which is quite a balancing act.  I hope you enjoy the results!

The Vintage Fair is much easier to navigate now and it remains my favorite place in SL at the moment. I adore seeing so many designers take a shot at Vintage wear.  There is so much great stuff there; I need to pick up my pace - I've had this outfit on for 2 days now trying to finish this post!  RL got really hectic again.  It's just that time of the year.  Bliss Couture has a hot little vintage fur set at the fair that is just darling.  I love sexy clothes but I tend to like ones that give off a sensual vibe while not requiring me to bare it all.  In addition to the roomy capelet the outfit includes fun ruffled lace shorts and leopard leggings, though you could pair it with the perfect pencil skirt and cat-eye's or even go apres-ski for fun looks.

I added the adorable lace collar from Scrub.  Scrub did the sweet playable gramophone that I've shown and seen used as a prop in so many Vintage Fair posts.  The collar is resizeable as well as has some color change options.  It really has a nice feel to it; if you have any goth/french maid tendencies this one has exceptional texturing.  I added BlackLiquid's 1920's Brooks lips for a bit of pop.  You can pick those up at the fair as well.  Before I forget, kik has moved locations and has a sale on hair.  I loved this style to complete my mod look!

Cucpakes: Sale of all Sales

I've always been a huge fan of Cupcakes.  I've shopped at Mimi Coral and Rosemary Galbraith's stores long before they merged into one big store of win.  In my opinion they really upped their game when they introduced the Daydream line of skins about a year ago.  Now you can get those very skins for  as low as 50 and clothing for no higher than 25 L as part of their huge sale.  Cupcakes is making some changes...streamlining their skin and clothing lines.  All items that will not be moving to the new store lines are being discontinued and are significantly marked down.  I'm going to show you some of the model bags that are available for only 250 L.  They are a great deal; you get several skin (sometimes in several tones) in an exclusive makeup, a shape (not shown here), eyes and at least one outfit.  The sale ends this coming Wednesday so you still have lots of time to pick up all the goodies for a remarkable price.  I have paired the model bags with some of my favorite hairs from Hair Fair (slurls will indicate location) as well as some lovely new releases from Baby Monkey.
