FIFTY5 THURSDAY PRICES GOOD FOR A BIT LONGER

Friday, December 30th, 2011

If you missed getting your hat(s) Thursday, I haven’t gotten around to resetting the prices yet, so you are in luck. Pop over to Xen’s Hats and get yours before I remember to reset those prices. I’m showing the hats below in different colors than I showed previously. You can see previous colors and all of the credits here. Here is a magic button to fly you to Xen’s Hats.

FIFTY5 THURSDAY AT XEN’S HATS: HAT 3

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

I’ve blogged two of the three hats to be found at Xen’s Hats for Fifty5 Thursday. Lin, a fedora banded with buttons can be seen here, and Buttons, Buttons, a little hat with three big buttons can be seen here.

I’ve saved the Big Button hat for last—perhaps because it’s a bit avant garde. However, I love it. It’s a simple, big button that arrives white but can be recolored using the included hud. I’ve recolored it red below to go with a little black dress with a really big collar and wide red belt from Elan. They seemed to be made-for-each-other to me.

If you like this unusual-but-fun look, pop over to Xen’s Hats to pick yours up.

I’ve included a second shot with an unusual camera position just because I liked it.

FIFTY5 THURSDAY AT XEN’S HATS: BUTTONS, BUTTONS

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

I have this “thing” for buttons. Apparently my RL mother did too as evidenced by her collection of buttons. She didn’t have anything especially fancy, just a large bunch of buttons.They proved to be a lot of fun to sort through. So it is not a lot of surprise that I like to use buttons in my creations. For Fifty5 Thursday I chose three hats that use buttons.( I blogged a fedora with buttons earlier here.)

This hat is Buttons, Buttons. The color of the hat, the buttons, and the thread in each of the buttons can be independently changed. That means you can make your hat very colorful or, as I have done, just color it a bit. Get yours while it is just 55L here.

FIFTY5 THURSDAY AT XEN’S HATS

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

I have three hats on sale for just 55L today. They are all for those of us who love buttons. Here is the first one—Lin, a fedora with a band of brass buttons. As with most of my hats, it is delivered to you white along with a hud. Wear the hud to color it to match your outfit. Here I’ve colored it brown, but it could just as easily be yellow or red, purple or green, or any other color you want. You can get it here at Xen’s Hats.

FINESMITH GOLD&RED HUNT LOOK 4

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

I believe this look incorporates the remaining FineSmith Gold&Red Hunt items. (You can see all of them on the FineSmith Jewelry blog here or on Xen’s Pen here.) Each item sells for 1-100 Lindens, and each item is worth much more than you pay for it. I hope you have a great time hunting at FineSmith.

FINESMITH GOLD&RED HUNT POST 2

Monday, December 26th, 2011

Yula must know my very favorite color is red and I that I love gold and red together. It’s obvious she planned this hunt just for me. I, of course, ran off to FineSmith as soon as I read about it and finished it in record time. The nice thing for you is that you can take part in this hunt too. Each of the 13 items is priced from 1 to 100 Lindens; that’s great pricing when you consider that every item is worth much more than you pay for it. Take the look below using three of the times—Lacie Necklace (Item 10), the Alexandra Ring (Item 9), and the Gold Nails with Rubies (Item 3). They are all gorgeous—and my RL husband says I am always right because I am a teacher—believe him. Find these great pieces here, and good luck on your search.

MY TWO NEW FAVORITES

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

Yula brought out a white version of the Alexandra Necklace, Earrings, Bracelet, and Ring. They are gorgeous and I couldn’t resist showing off the necklace with my newest hat, Furry.

Furry is delivered to you white…

Xen's Hats Furry

…but it also has a hud that lets you recolor it to match anything you might want to wear it with, like this Cover Up Cowl from Holli Pocket. I’ve recolored it a shade of brown to coordinate with this delightful dress below from Purple Moon at the Tropicalia Bazaar.

Furry_016

The white Alexandra Necklace looks just as gorgeous with this brown dress. I can hardly wait to pair it with something else with the ring also…or maybe the earrings and bracelet. So many choices.

HOW MANY? HOW MUCH?

Saturday, December 17th, 2011

I was inspired to make this new hat by this terrific new hair from Dura Hair and the Snowflake necklace from Finesmith.

How many colors of the Snowflakes hat do you need to purchase to match every item in your inventory?

Snowflakes composite

Just one! This is the same hat; I just used the color-change hud that comes with the hat to change the color of the hat. You can make thousands and thousands more colors—I love that.

I prefer white snowflakes, but I had to show you that you can change the color of the snowflakes also—make them all the same color or use up to six different colors.

The best part is that it’s only 25L this weekend.
