47 / 52 – Khaki

We are now on the home straight of the 52 Weeks of Colour Challange — the end is in sight.

Week 47 – Khaki

The name of the color khaki coined in British India comes from the Hindustani language (itself a borrowed form of the Persian word khak meaning dust), meaning “dusty, dust covered or earth colored.” It has been used by many armies around the world for uniforms, including camouflage. Most notably, khaki was used by the British Army in India beginning in 1848.

Alphabet Challange

Willow Zander (aka Willis) is doing her alphabet challenge again. I remember the challenge from the first time around. I have decided to play along with Willis. The rules are fairly simple. The items must match the letters of the alphabet; that can be by store, item or colour… and at a stretch, creator.

So here are my ABCs…

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge

Due to my short absence, I am now kind of playing catch-up on Luna’s 52 Weeks of Colour Challenge.  So here’s part one…

Week 41 - Jazzberry

If you had told me that there was a colour called Jazzberry, I would not have belived you. So I googled it, and according to Wikipedia, it does exact. In fact it is a shade of red-violet. To me it’s a dark raspberry colour.

Week 42 – Chartreuse

Chartreuse is a color halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse, introduced in 1764. The term chartreuse was first used to refer to “a pale apple-green” in 1884.

Week 43 – Liver

Liver is a term used to describe certain types of dark brown color in dogs and horses. In dogs, it is a dark brown shade. In horses, “liver chestnut” is a term used to describe a chocolate-colored chestnut horse. A liver chestnut is the same genetically as a regular chestnut, but the shade is a dark brown rather than the reddish or rust color more typical of chestnut.

Some Plastik Goodies

Plastik is one of those multifaceted stores, where you can not only find clothes but also skins and eyes, and other things for the fantasy roleplaying avatar. Although the clothes at Plastik are relatively expensive, often they come with variations of parts included, one example is the recent new release Aeda jeans.

The Aeda jeans come in 2 collections – the Plain denim in 31 colours, 399L$ each and the Patterned in 32 colours, 499L$ each. Also they come in the following variations:  The Capris & Knees collection consisting of a pair of capris and two pairs of knee length pants.  The Minis and Shorts collection comes with two skirts and three pairs of shorts in all layers.  The Digis and Flares collection is a pair of full length jeans with three styles of sculpted leg: One digitigrade with matching alpha layer, one flared jean type, and a flared cuff. The Skinnies collection is a collection of full length pants that come with a pair of super skinny cuffs, a pair of lazy rolled cuffs, and a pair of normal super skinny cuffs.

So here are just a few of the goodies that I managed to bag at Plastik:

Thanks Berry Much!!!

Ok so I got it wrong….errr No, I haven’t!!!

First of all, I would like to thanks to all my readers… I have reached the dizzying height of 2011 hits since I started this blog a year ago in July 2009. Second, today’s theme is the colour that designers call berry. This varies from purple to red, just berries in RL.

The first offering is an outfit I got at Enki’s Dollarstore, by A.Y.Y. To match it, I got the Lazies from Kookie as part of this week’s 50L$ Friday event.

The hair is Exile’s Malibu from The Dressing Room Blue 3rd collection, in the exclusive colour ‘spice’. Exile is in TDR Blue 4 with a new set of exclusive colours.

The second outfit is from Willow.

You can change the colour of the dress by editing the individual parts manually, similar to how you would tint an item. But I chose to leave it this lovely dark shade of red.
