Not Really A Bitch

1-not-really-a-bitch-sm

I can sometimes be bitchy, but I’m not really a bitch. I try to be gentle and kind most of the time. My bitchiness comes out, though, in the face of meanness or downright stupidity. Sometimes it’s best to just lay back and watch the foolishness – it is far more entertaining and much less likely to produce frown lines.

This is the first real view of my take on the shape for the Bento Simone Mesh Head from .LeLutka.. I had the original, so while the discount was nice (wear your Simone 1.5 or 1.6 head when purchasing and receive the full purchase price of the original back), it really was the expressions that sold me. I was a bit worried about the pointed chin, but after playing with sliders for a couple of days, I finally came up with a facial shape that I like. What sealed the deal was the Luna LeLutka Head Applier from *League*. It was a bit of a trip down memory lane trying on skins to find a face that I loved with my shape. With pre-Bento mesh heads, you pretty much knew that any applier you tried would look good, as the shape of the head was going to be incredibly close to the original. With the freedom of customisation allowed by Bento heads, it’s like it’s 2012 again! Luna worked really well with the changes I made and I’m incredibly happy with the final result.

I am featuring two more items from the December round of BishBox – the Bitch necklace from Kibitz and one of my very favourite gifts from this round, the Oregon Boots from Essenz. There seems to be no end to the goodness from this box!

For a splash of colour, I threw on the Izzie corset from Apple May Designs. It is an older release and can be found at the main store. Since it is an applier, it works very well for tucking in or layering. Don’t forget to shop main stores for older gems in the rush to wear everything new on the grid.

That’s just a suggestion, not an order. I’m not really a bitch, you know 😉

Soul-Searching in Pearls

Here is another fabulous gift from the December round of BishBox. The jacket/top/pearls combo from United Colors is the ultimate combination of classy and sexy. With a colour-change HUD for the jacket, pearls and bra, you can create the look of your dreams. And in case you missed it, make sure you open the surprise box in the folder – there are two skirts to go with the jacket. Bonus!

I loved this pose and hairstyle, both available at Shiny Shabby. Very contemplative. If you’re going to do some soul-searching you really can’t go wrong doing it in pearls.

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.
