I Was Weak…

… I couldn’t resist the latest KittyCatS collection.

I really tried, honestly. But they were just to cute. Add to that some matching antennas for me to wear and well… How could I resist?

Sorry for the blog being a bit quiet, but this winter’s viruses are still keeping me occupied. To be precise, I am feeling fine. But now the rest my household is busy emptying their stomachs, cat included. Really, the bugs floating around this season… it’s getting ridiculous by now!

I have managed to gain a new life-experience though: having a toddler puke into your cleavage. Interesting experience, I can assure you.

Ivory and Brown

… a Look of the Day.

Just a quick LOTD to show everyone I’m still alive! Not very alive, but a bit anyway. Because this week I was once again coughing and sneezing and all that loveliness. I don’t know what bugs are floating around this winter, but they are kicking my ass!

But on to what I’m wearing:

Well, when I put together this look, and did the snapshots, most of it was new. But that was a while ago. So just consider this to be one of those looks made from random stuff in my inventory. That at least is true…

Charcoal

… week 44 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

Has this ever happened to you: you are late with doing your color challenge picture, but you don’t feel like doing it. So you think “I’ll do it tomorrow” and then half a week later you realize you’ve forgotten all about it?

…No, you say? In that case I won’t be giving any prizes for guessing why I’m late this week *facepalm*

Anyway, I thought Charcoal would be pretty much, well… black. Instead the swatch looked more like grey, with quite a bit of blue in it as well. Exactly the color of this skirt by Ingenue, which I love. It uses Standard Sizing, but also has an extra M+ size, which happens to fit me perfectly! Don’t even need to use the alpha layer and that happens absolutely never.

Hermit

… please be gentle.

I’m not sure what it was, but I just couldn’t put a decent look together this week. I’ve been running around the grid in this outfit for about 5 days now, trying to figure out what it was missing. But I didn’t manage to find it.

So I’m just going to post my outfit as it is, so I can at last get it out of my system.

Just a note about my shoes: they are a kind of add-on to SLink’s new medium height bare feet. Those feet are a seperate purchase. But if you go to Vintage Fair and buy SLink’s vintage 2-strap pumps, the feet are already included. So if you like, you can save some Lindens that way.

An early fri.day

… with some cute tank tops.

It had been a bit quiet around the fri.day store. The main reason for this was fri.day-creator Darling Monday taking some take off to learn how to create mesh. Time well spend if you ask me, because the tops that have been released recently are just perfect.

I think we all know the feeling, whenever we try on some new mesh clothes: is it going to fit and is going to be rigged well? In this case: yes and yes. I was especially pleased with how it moved with my av. Because despite my, admittedly, very active AO, the straps never cut into my shoulders or anything like that.

That said, fri.day will continue to make system clothes as well. So if, unlike me, you’re not a big fan of mesh, fri.day will still be an interesting store for you.

I’m also going to be trying something new in this post, by adding some detail pictures. I always try to keep my pictures as clean as possible, to give an honest representation of what I’m wearing. But with only one picture, some detail is obviously lost. Especially when it comes to jewellery.

So this time I’m also adding a picture of my necklace and ring. And of the cute little bows on the spaghetti straps of the top. Now are those cute or what?

Raspberry Glace

… week 24 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

This week’s challenge color is Raspberry Glace… now that color really made me go “meh”. I mean, what color is it supposed to be anyway? Purple, grey or is it just another poo-color in disguise? I just couldn’t decide. Not to mention the glace part. What is it and how do you even pronounce it?!

I really had no idea where to start looking for this color. So I basically just gave up and started doing the Mesh Around Hunt. Which, at some point, brought me to Ingenue.

As it turned out, they had a couple of items for sale that were more or less the right shade. But in the end I settled for this dress. It’s a bit too dark really, but you won’t tell anybody, right?

Dancing with Aleida

… new stuff and a Look of the Day.

I’ve been trying to clean out my inventory. But so far I still seem to collect new stuff faster then I can delete the old stuff… But anyway, while I was trying to sort all the new stuff into their designated folders (Yes, I do organise my clutter…) I figured I might as well create a look of the day with it.

So what is the new stuff of note? I’ll start with my new Pink Fuel skin, which is currently on sale at the Skin Addiction Showcase. That skin was not the only one I bought there, but well… that still needs to be sorted

Next thing is my dress by Aleida, which I got at their closing sale. This was actually a new-to-me store and I must admit I didn’t buy much. The designs were very well made, but a bit too haute couture for me. I did however pick up the past group-gifts (which are now free for everyone), which included this dress and a matching clutch that I didn’t wear here.

Another thing I got at a closing sale is my pose, by LAP. It’s from the Gettin Down on Friday-set, which explains the “dancing” in this post’s title. This sale has been running for a while and could be over any day now. So if you haven’t visited yet, you might want to start running!

Cobalt

… week 22 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

After spending way too much money on last week’s outfit, I knew this had to be a “from inventory only” post. And the remarkable thing is… I actually did that! Yay me!

That I didn’t have to do any shopping, was actually a good thing, because I wasn’t inworld very much this week anyway. I was enjoying the RL sunny weather!

Actually I think I’m going to enjoy a little bit more of that now…

Deep Pink

… week 20 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

This week I finally visited the Culture Shock event. And while checking out all the stores, I thought I might as well try and find something in Deep Pink. So I bought this dress at a unknown-to-me store. Afterall, you never know if you happen to discover a new favourite!

I have to say however that I didn’t. The shape of this mesh dress is not exactly ideal. It’s obviously made for extremely thin people, because I’m wearing the largest shape, but the alpha layer still had to make most of my hips and butt disappear. A bigger problem however is the way it’s rigged. I just keep popping through the mesh with the slightest movement. So I’m afraid this purchase is not a keeper…

Seashell Peach

… week 15 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

Another “looks like white, but isn’t quite white” color. A color that I didn’t manage to find. I settled for this darker white, a kind of creamy color. My windlight setting made my outfit even darker then it already was. Because I was struggling a bit, trying to take a picture of a nearly white outfit against a white background. I suppose I could have used a different background, but I always use a white background. And since I’m as stubborn as a mule… well, it just had to be white!

Oh and the kitten? Well, a certain “Siamese Neko” gave it to me, so I just had to include it in the picture. Thank you Rudh!
