# 279 Fade to Grey

I love this cozy sweater, a new release from .:AVALE:, but couldn't find anything in my inventory that I liked with it (not the sweaters fault, more that I lost around 7000 items from my inventory the weekend before last, so I really didn't have anything to wear with them).  However,  I saw that Baby Monkey had released some new leggings and boots (along with quite a few other winter-friendly items), and went along to check them out and yay, they worked perfectly!  As with almost all Baby Monkey items, they come with a fantastic texture change hud giving 32 different colour options.  And members of the group get everything half price for the first week.



Here is a close up of the boots, which I think are my new favourites, and my nails from Maia Gasparini of Hello Dave - if you aren't in her VIP group, you should be - she is incredibly generous with group gifts.  In Maia's packs you get not just the two huds for manicure and pedicure, you also get a "both" hud, which definitely makes my life a little easier when putting a look together.

My hair is by Leyla Flux of KoKoLoReS who is one of the sweetest people I have met in sl, and also one of the most stylish as can be seen on her blog here.  This is one of her new hair releases which comes in a great selection of colours, and my lipstick is one of hers too.  

My skin is another new release from .::WoW Skins::., this time for the current round of Fresh Style and comes in a choice of milk, tan (which I'm wearing), bronze and dark tan, each for just 99L. Appliers are available separately.  I am really loving the freshness of Sawsan's recent releases and am looking forward to what she comes up with next.

#249 Where the not-so-wild little unicorn roams

 I am bringing you a real mish mash of newness today.  My cute outfit is the Leri Miles Designs Cupcakes Anonymous Hunt gift, and comprises the tank and skirt, beautifully textured and real fun to wear.  My cute little companion is one of the rares from MOoH! at the Where the Wild Things are Gacha event.  Though you can't see them clearly he has butterflies flying round his head, and you can also sit on the mushroom (pic of me doing so is on flickr),  

 I am wearing Belleza's new Claudia again and falling more in love with her each time I wear her. The red eyebrows are the best I have come across yet (I am wearing the dark here), and the freckles, moles, lipstick and make-up choices are enough to keep me happy finding new combinations for a long long time.  I thought the skin was a perfect match for the newish hair from  ^;^CaTwA^;^, which comes with a load of flexi add-ons, and bangs options should you wish to use them. 

My nails are one of two new sets from -{ZOZ}- for the current round of Designer Showcase

Last, but absolutely not least, I have paired my outfit with some of Luana Dawg of aru's new add ons for SLink flatties.  They are available in five other colours and are, as you would expect from Luana, just perfect, beautifully made and a joy to wear - and also a little different to anything else I have seen before.

#240 Rhapsody with a Jazz riff

This is another post focused pretty much on Rhapsody, with my outfit and all the furniture coming from this fabulous event.  The chairs and benches from Kuro are all texture change and come in both suede and leather.  I have used two wall benches and one corner bench in the picture above.   My house is not really ready for showing decor, as I have only just changed houses and I have literally just started decorating so there are none of my own bits about, but I wanted to show you these things which I really loved. 

The Kuro jazz neon pics come in 3 styles, and 3 colour choices in each style - they can also be switched on and off depending on your preferences.  What I particularly love are the cables and wall plugs that are attached, which add an incredible note of realism.  I am showing two of 3 different jazz prints from Kokolores, all as stylish as can be expected from Sisch Firecaster!

My outfit is from [ SAKIDE ] for Rhapsody and is beautifully textured and available in an array of gorgeous rich colours.  My earrings are from aru, the new accessory store opened by Luana Dawg of Kuro, and the items are really unusual and sheer perfection as you would expect from Luana. These earrings are beautifully made and available in brass as well as the pewter I am wearing.  My necklace is from [LNS Designs], and I will be wearing the matching earrings and bracelet in an upcoming post.

By the way there should have been a wall behind me in the pic above but I accidentally derendered the house - makes a change from deleting it!
