#290 Bring me Christmas

As a snow lover, I had fun putting this snowy themed outfit together.  When I tried on the skirt and poncho from LivGlam I saw snowflakes before my eyes, so I added a few more using some winter themed jewellery items from Cae and gorgeously frosty nails from Hello Dave.  

On a sad note, this will be my last post for LivGlam who yesterday announced that they are closing their doors on 27th December.  So you still have a few days to go and pick up those bargains you have your eye on, or the unbelievably generous walls of group gifts.  LivGlam have been around for as long as I can remember, and they will be sorely missed.  * Update * LivGlam is retiring as a brand, but in the New Year their designers will be back, refreshed and debut a new brand and a fresh new style for SL's fashionistas.

I really love the textures on these shoes by .:KC:, which come with an extremely generous hud giving you the choice of 26 shoe textures, 26 toebox textures, 30 heel platform textures and finally 3 for the metal.  I will definitely be keeping an eye out on their future releases.  

As for my nails, I have decided that instead of trying to show a close-up of my nails, I will add a pic of the HUD, so you can see what lovely selections they give.  

To end on a high note, I was so pleased to learn that .::WoW Skins::. were the winners of the 2014 AviChoice Award in the Favourite Female Skin Designer category.  I have long thought that Sawsan consistently turns out some of the prettiest skins available in sl, so it is great news that her hard work has been recognised.  I am wearing the group gift for November, which is still available in the store, along with a big box of previous gifts.  Congratulations Sawsan!

#286 Arachnophobics, stop at the borderline

Today's outfit consists of new goodies from various events and weekly specials. My skin is another new release for  .::WoW Skins::. and will be available at The Big Show from 6th December.  My hair is new from adoness, for Genre and includes the shaved base, which call me weird, but I think it is really pretty with its lace effect.

#285 Winter Star

I had to do a close up of this skin, because I really do think it is one of the prettiest I have seen in a long time - it is the .::WoW Skins:: group gift for November.  There is a fee to join the group but you get a bumper pack of previous gifts as well as the current one, so it really is worth joining.  You also get access to group only MM's and a whole heap of Lucky Boards.

 I had a major problem with this gown from Fi's Creations,(this link is to their website as they will shortly be moving store inworld, so you will need to check the website for info on location) a new-to-me designer.  What was the problem, I hear you ask (and even if you didn't, I am going to tell you anyway).  Well I loved all the colours so much I couldn't decide on just one to show you, so here you have them all.


I am sure there is an excellent word for the way the colour graduates and changes (black on silver to silver on black for example), but for the life of me I have no idea what that word is. Suffice to say that I adore the way these dresses are textured and will definitely be looking out for more by this designer.

Here are the final two - good luck choosing which colour to get, hopefully you will be a lot more decisive than I was!

#283 Say Something

I can't write much today as I am hospital visiting irl, and don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to get this post finished. This outfit from LivGLam consists of a pair of black high waist jeans with a chain belt, and a beautifully textured top.  The top comes with a hud, allowing 3 colour choices for the top, two of which I am showing here, the other being black.  

In the photo above you get a closer look at another of Sawsan Secretspy's gorgeous new skins.  Below I have added close-ups of my shoes from {Rowena's Designs}, and nails by *pulcino*.  The shoes come with a hud giving you 10 lovely colours to choose from.

#275 The Bubble Bunch

I love the names LivGlam come up with for their outfits, they are always so inventive, and sometimes a little strange (in a good way).  As I always struggle to find an interesting name for my posts, I thought I might as well just use the name of this outfit as my post title. So don't ask me what it means, I have no clue!



This outfit is available only at Fashion Limited, for a limited time and in limited numbers  As with almost all LivGlam, this one comes with a texture change hud, I am showing all three colourways in the pics here - though in the final pic I am showing only the top in the black textures choice.  If you are too late and it is sold out, there are sister outfits with different colour options availabe at the LivGlam shop at fantastic prices for various weekly sales.

My hair is new from  *~*Damselfly*~* and I absolutely love it.  It was initially exclusive for the Vintage & Cool Fair but is now available in store.

#264 The Boy Next door

Today's outfit is another great bargain from LivGlam - there are two different palettes to choose from for this outfit, and each gives 3 different texture combinations.  The one I am showing is under their Chic La Mode label, with items being 99L or less.

My necklace is from AZE , who makes the most incredibly complex and detailed items of jewellery I have ever seen in sl.  This is their donation item for A Clockwork Spiral which benefits The National Kidney Foundation.  The event runs till october 1st.

My shoes are from a new-to-me store called Glamistry, and can be found at this month's My Attic at The Deck, for just 95L a pair.  They come with a great hud system, and each colour you buy goes straight in the hud so you can mix and match the different parts of the shoe, using whatever colours you have purchased.

#260 ZsaZsa in Blue Society

It's a few days since I last worked on my blog, but I have a good reason - in the last week I have got engaged, partnered and married - (in sl not rl!), so blogging has taken a bit of a back seat.  Anyway now we have our home almost furnished, in between my new husband attempting to teach me to sail, I have managed to get in a little blogging. The gorgeous dress I am wearing is from N2 for 24Squared.  The colours are so rich and opulent, the combination is really striking, and the texturing absolutely perfect.

My shoes are some that I have found myself reaching for again and again - they go with anything and with a 64 pantone colour hud, you really can match or contrast them with any outfit.

#259 Secret Lovers

Today I am showing another make up from the gorgeous Claudia by Belleza , which I fall more in love with every time I wear it.  Having the choice of two different red brows makes this skin just perfect for me.

My outfit is new from Liv Glam and comes with a texture change hud giving 3 different textrues for the top.  It is out for 55L Thursday where you will find a bunch of gorgeous outfits for less than 100L

It is so long since I wore any  [Gos] footwear that I had forgotten how beautifully made they are - I used to wear these ankle boots all the time, I will have to remember to take them for a walk more often!

#254 After Hours

I was getting ready for a night out and thought I would share my outfit.  My shoes are from LivGlam and come with one of their astounding 64 pantone huds, so you can pretty much match - or contrast - them to everything.  They are add-ons for the SLink high feet.

My little purple dress is another staple from Has Been, and comes with a texture change hud giving 8 very pretty colour choices.  The dress fits absolutely perfectly, no disappearing straps or visible alpha here.

I am showing another make-up from the fabulous Uber Beth by Belleza , who are really spoiling us at the moment with new releases.  Beth is only available at Uber,
