Merry X-Mas

So, I tend not to blog but once a week when I'm working on the 52 weeks of color challenge. However, I wanted to do a quick blog and wish everyone a Happy Holiday season. I know that not everyone celebrates Christmas, but I wish everyone a merry end to the year. Remember to look back with fondness and to look forward with excitement.

XoXo,
MandyLeigh

Week 006 - Yellow in the Trenches

Okay, I have the lamest titles sometimes, but whatev. Anyway, I was SO excited when Luna Jubilee announced this week's color was yellow. Normally, I'm not a very yellow person, but I have one favorite item that I've had for almost two years. It has some good memories for me and so I haven't gotten rid of it (even though my inventory is busting at the seams). That and it happens to be one of the first items I purchased at long time favorite, Aoharu.

Anyway, here's to keeping dry on this rainy Tokyo day in my yellow trench coat <3



Hair: [elikatira] - Rumor in Brown 08
Skin: Tuli - Audrey in Tone 4
Jacket: Aoharu - Simple Trench Coat in Yellow
Sweater: Hucci - Shrug Turtleneck in Yellow Argyle

Week 5 - Sepia... is that brown?

For those of you who don't know, Luna Jubilee has challenged those in Second Life to 52 Weeks of Color. Each week she gives everyone a new color, and your challenge is to come up with an outfit or even a room inspired by the color. Actually, it can be virtually anything. So, I decided to take her up on her challenge and added a special twist for myself. I cannot use items that are newer than 2 weeks. What this means is that I cannot shop for new items just for the week's challenge. With that said, you may see some items blogged that are no longer available (so don't hate me too much).

This week's color was sepia; a color I only referred to as a photo filter in photoshop. To complete this week, I had to get a little creative again. However, thanks to awesome designers who make their items modifiable, I was able to come up with my interpretation of sepia.
