52 Weeks of Color Challenge – Alice Blue

Week Six: Alice Blue

February 5 – February 11

Wow – Week 6 of the 52 Weeks of Color! So far I have been pretty much up to date – yay! This week I went for a sweet look, but flipped it and went for a nighttime look with my makeup.

This lil’ Party Starter dress from Alexohol is available at The Black Market.It fits all my requirements for a dress – form fitting, short, and looks cute! Oh and it’s blue :)

Oh! It’s time for me to get ready for a pre-game party over at Erotique Designs, so I will have to leave you for now :) Happy shopping!

52 Weeks of Color – Week 3 (Electric Indigo)

Week Three: Electric Indigo

January 15 – January 21

Hello everyone! Welcome to Week 3 of the 52 Weeks of Color challenge! I am lucky that I started working on this mid week of last week, or else this post would had came out later. Congestion sucks :(

I have 2 outfits for this week, for I was inspired to do different looks with them. This first dress is from Alexohol Fashions, Brandy Puff dress in Electric indigo. Since I chose to wear purple hair for this style, I started experimenting with the makeup as well. I like how this came out-a nice change from the typical frilly dress sort of thing.

In case you were wondering, I used shoes from N-Core (of course!) to complete the look. Unfortunately, I didn’t like how the full body shot looked (too far away), so I won’t be showing it here :)

This next photo I had intended originally to be my main post, but when I uploaded it and compared it to this week’s color, it is darker than I thought it would be :( Ah well – I still had fun taking these shots! The dress is from Purple Moon – Josephine.

See you next week!

Knock Out Your Workout

This weekend I received a package in the mail from AlexandraM Guisse (of Alexohol Fashions). When I opened it, I saw that it was a binge pack of  her latest creation – Knock Out Yoga Pants. They came just in time, because I was checking out different SL gyms to find a nice place to work out.

Today I decided to visit Virtual Gym Center to see what they had. The locker room seemed clean, so I did some warm up stretching.

When I got onto the floor, I noticed that they didn’t have any machines…just a bunch of mats for people to do various exercises. At first I thought it was boring, but then again, using your own body weight to get yourself toned can be quite effective.

         

I actually don’t mind crunches…I think it’s because I use my core a lot when I dance ^^ But I dislike lunges and squats, and HAAAAATE push ups :( I tried doing a one-armed push up and landed promptly on my face.

The next couple of exercises worked my core muscles, namely hip thrusts and leg extensions (I actually felt the second one after several reps!).

      

Lastly, I tried to remember some yoga moves that my friend showed me…not bad.  I really liked the seal pose (one in the middle).

Phew! I am tired! Time to hit the shower and get ready for a well-deserved night out….margaritas, anyone?
