It’s like buses….you wait ages for one, and then two come at once. Well that’s been my winter coat experience so far this season, no sooner had I discovered the wonderful fluffy parka that is my twice blogged Aohura Military coat, than I found this stunner of formal coat from Panjen. I haven’t been to Panjen for a looonnnggg time, BUT as I was pulling on my favourite ever gloves, bought on my first visit there I decided to pay a repeat visit. This coat, also called ‘Military Coat’ had me as soon as I saw it. It didn’t even have time to say ‘Hello!’ It’s a gorgeous airforce blue, with shiny hand-drawn buttons and prim adornments on the sleeves. It’s beautiful, and L$300 well spent. THEN I wandered upstairs, and found this stunning ‘Morgane’ skin, and walked out L$1500 lighter for my trouble. I got 6 skins for my money each with beautiful lip colourings; here I’m wearing Coral, but also there are Black, Silver, Red, Maroon, and Bronze too. I rounded off the look with ETD hair and voila! Now all I need is for Elton John to start singing ‘Nikita’ to me and I’m all set!

I really must apologise to the lovely Lawra, creator extraordinaire behind the smashing ‘Nekorifik’ label, as she dropped a review box on me on the 27th of October and navel-gazing numpty that I am I’ve only just remembered:) Glad I have though-it’s great seeing how she’s developing as a designer and her work just keeps getting better and better! I’m LOVING the textures that she’s chosen for her Autumn collection of separates, and the detailing is very good indeed. She always excels on the shading and creases and I’m very impressed by how she’s constantly improving these key skills. Something else that has cheered me no end is the inclusion of denim in her latest collection. I don’t wear jeans much in SL, but the pair that Lawra has released this season are perfect! In this picture I’ve teamed her green argyle sweater with the fantastic Aoharu military coat, and some ETD hair ( Roxie in Auburn) with a pose by Reel Expressions. It’s worth mentioning at this juncture that BOTH Reel Expressions and ETD have superb sales on at the moment which you really need to check out asap. Last but not least, the skin I’m wearing is the mystery dollarbie skin by *Ki2* which I snaffled during the Starlust hunt. It finishes today, so you need to get your skates on to participate, but your task is to collect rubbish through 4 sims of utter madness! Fantastic builds and fabulous shops featuring some of the best designers in SL have meant that the hunt has been packed out with avatars and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve crashed out-but trust me it’s been worth every decibel I’ve exclaimed in frustration! If you want to quickly have a go, the ‘Giant Trash Hunt’ includes the following sims: Floyd,Lloyd,Horst and Polly Jean and includes great pressies such as skins, poses and clothing galore. I’ve really enjoyed it, so thanks to all involved! Click HERE to get started…. and be sure to check out Nekorifik’s latest releases. You can see me modelling some of the rest of the collection on my Flickr.
