I Might Have Been An Artist

I’m taking a break from my blogging commitments to do a post of things I bought, just because I love them. I played probably more than I should on the !gO! gacha machine at Shiny Shabby, not to win a Rare (which I did, by the way), but to get this top. Free-spirited, fun and perfectly textured, it is a wonderful top for casual prettiness. The rolled-cuff straight-leg jeans from *COCO* at Uber are another great find for just kicking around. But my favourite find are these tippy-toe flat sandals from {kokoia}. This is a new store to me, but I couldn’t resist these adorable shoes that come with 10 beautiful textures via a HUD for only 99L! I love flat shoes, but I prefer the look of heels (or tiptoes) for the length they give my legs. This is a perfect storm of sandal and sexy calves and thighs.

The scene is from on location at Elysion, a members-only sim. It seemed to work perfectly with my carefree look. It made me think that had my talents run a different direction, I might have been an artist.

Instead, I guess I’ll just have to be content with being a happy shopper.

Winter Warmers

1-callie-boots-sm

Out for a walk, I am all bundled up in layers. You have seen the coat I am wearing before, in a different colour. I just love this sweet, swingy coat from neve, which is available at The Liaison Collaborative until December 30. So you’d better hurry to get yours!

On my legs I am wearing the beautiful Callie boots from fri.day for the December round of Uber. Check out the detail! The rawhide string that wraps around the heel and the tiny little bow at the back are just the kind of things that set these boots apart. They also come with optional socks (with a colour-change HUD) that give these boots even more versatility. Oh, and as a bonus, the boots alone fit perfectly over the standard length Cake Leggings from Blueberry and with the socks, they work with the over boot version! Since virtually every female on the grid owns these leggings, Callie is a must-have for mixing and matching to set you apart.

Bundle up, stay warm and enjoy the cold weather for me. We’re heading into a heatwave in the next few days and I would love to be pulling on my winter warmers instead.

On A Starry Night

Need a dress for New Year’s Eve? Done. Look no further than the latest main store release from *Just BECAUSE*. With a satin skirt, sparkly top and fur-trimmed jacket all you need to do is choose a colour. No, just spoil yourself and go for the fatpack! With the options available you will surely not be able to settle for just one.

So, I did get in another post before Christmas and I am hoping to get at least one more. The holiday spirit is alive and well here, just like the twinkling in the heavens on a starry night.
