It's coming - 40 Sleeps to go! For You beu!

You might want to deny it, but Christmas is sneaking up on us at the speed of a direct train. The shops are full of it in RL, and the TV is covered in adverts. So why not just embrace the inevitable!

I spent yesterday listening to christmas music and decorating the Reya Square sim so it's a snow covered wonderland. Then today I went on the winter clothes hunt.
Sachi Vixen had sent me a gorgeous pink cord mini yesterday which I just had to dress up, so off I went.

My first stop was Reek, where I bought my autumn boots last year. I was right in dropping in because I'd soon spotted a lovely wooly hat, a scarf and some mittens! All for less than 500L.
Then I went hunting for a coat. The one in the pics was a bargain! 35L on xstreet and comes in 6 colors. It was made for a child but it has a resizer and was easily adjusted to fit. It also comes with matching boots in 6 colors (not shown).
The creator - Krissy Soup of *PinkPromise* is new to me, so I'll definately be checking out what else she has. The texturing is lovely and the coat is exactly what I wanted.

Last but not least I needed boots, and luckily I had just the pair in my inventory. The Mukluk boots were bought last year from PixiePlumb's Babymonkey shoestore.

Of course, where better to get the pics than Reya Square. So full circle, I found myself on the ground snapping away. The courtyard is open for rezzing, so rez a posestand and grab some pics of your own!

Until next time

Look of the Day #1

I got some gorgeous boots given by Pixieplum Flanagan of BabyMonkey today and just knew they'd fit with some of my current inventory favourites. So what better excuse did I have to post my first ever look of the day?

So here it is...

The boots are BabyMonkey's MukLuk boots, that come in a variety of colours. Pixie kindly sent me the fatpack and it has so many choices I couldn't decide at first. I finally settled on this dark brown to get the contrast I wanted. They're lovely for those wintery Mondays like the one I had today; and feature a nicely textured band around the middle and a pretty bow that holds the pompoms.

The turtleneck and shirt was a freebie at the Le.Look anniversary giveaway, and is from Zaara. Not only do I love the jumper because of it's amazing shading and detailing, but also because it led me to Zaara. I'd heard of the store, but never quite made it over there. Now I know what I was missing, and snapped up these pants on my first visit.
The Ishaya velour pants are the first white pants I bought in SL, and I just love them. They work with a casual or more formal top, and like everything else I've bought from Zaara, are perfectly detailed and shaded.

Ever the bargain hunter, I got the hair and hat from Magika. It's called Criminal and is in Sabina's current free hair box, along with more than 10 other amazing styles.

I'm especially proud of the nails. Purchased on a whim from Candy Nails, these prim nails seemed to magically fit themselves. They come in different sizes for any hand size, and move themselves into position with zero effort on my part. These are the #P040 Black Lock nails and feature a cute little heart and chains on 2 nails, the other 3 are silver and contrast perfectly.

I always wear my own shape, that has been tweaked and nudged over the past year or so. I'm stuck in my ways and haven't bought another since I made this. It fit's all of my lashes exactly, and looks great with this Belleza skin, Alyson Tan (VIP group gift).

Add my very favourite eyes, Caribbean Sea from Poetic Colors, and I'm looking very much like my current me hehe. This is subject to change when I whimsically fall in love with something else.

So there you have it, my first ever LOTD... ready for a misty monday school run.

Til Next Time
