I was going to create a new photo for Christmas this year, but I found this one from December 2008 and just had to use it again!
Here’s wishing all the readers of Kittywitchin’ a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I hope you are throughly spoiled rotten and receive everything you could possibly wish for.
I’m going to have a wee break and then it’s back to blogging 2014 with gusto!
Merry Kittymas!
And even more purple. I’m wearing items that will coordinate with this glorious JALWA skin, so you’ll have to forgive me! But hey, don’t I look posh? My selection from Gothmas By Gaslight today includes this stunning frock from DG DESIGNS called the ‘Lucretia Dress’. Nice isn’t it? This eye-catching, and very steampunk-esque jewellery is from AZE JEWELRY DESIGNS and is the Magic Lantern Snowflake Slides Set in Gunmetal. Why snowflake slides? Well, you cannot see it at all in the picture I’m afraid, but the small circular petals on the necklace are filled with tiny, detailed snowflakes that move! A very quaint and a totally original idea.

Still rocking this Jalwa skin, ‘Coven’ for Gothmas by Gaslight. I really, really do adore it, so I implore you Chandra, PLEASE can you make more versions of this?! I’m not asking for much, just a few different colours ( I can’t wear purple forever!!) and lips please, PLEASE?!
(I don’t want to beg, It’s embarrassing..but I am begging. The brows and eye-make up shape are JUST me, so please do more colours, pretty pretty please!!!!!!)
Because I wanted a change on the lips I added a tattoo make-up layer in a purple shade, with teeth, just to shake things up a bit. I found this MODISH ‘Beforeulips’ in Goth at THE DRESSING ROOM FUSION, along with the excellent mesh-bra from MC MESH that I’m wearing underneath this VALENTINA E. wrap dress. Now, this dress is a little different in that the fit leaves the front quite exposed, indeed you could see my norks from some angles until I added the bra, but I love the fact that you can see this underwear, and I think it really enhances the look. I really have loved Valentina Evangelista’s releases this year, her work has been continually top-notch and I always check out her new releases as soon as I hear about them. Worn with this bra from Freya Olivieri makes for a very sensual look. In fact this bra is a real find, it’s delicately detailed in a lace pattern with tiny pearl enhancements and a jewel to the centre. I do love nice lingerie!
Another addition from Gothmas by Gaslight is the jewellery that I am wearing in this shot. I’m wearing the ECLECTICA ‘Catherine’ ring set and necklace. This is a super pretty set, with texture change cabochons that feature a Victorian-style rose motif. The whole set really adds an element of elegance to your outfit. The rings of course are adjustable so you can fit them to your system hands or your SLink hands, should you so wish. ( I haven’t got any appliers yet for my Jalwa skin, hence me wearing my normal hands in this shot..*shudder*) Again, Tiffy Vella is one of those designers who never cuts corners with her work and every Eclectica release is a pleasure to behold; her inspiration stems from Art Deco and times past, and she incorporates these influences into her work beautifully.
I really do want to emphasise that you can wear Goth elements in your apparel without going full-on Bela Lugosi. Don’t be put off by the conventional idea that this style is all black and mournful. Well it is, but it’s the way that you wear an item and combine it with other pieces that really counts. You will find some bloody amazing items under the Goth heading in-world that can be adapted to any look, something that I really hope Gothmas By Gaslight is proving!
I’ve always loved Goth styling and culture. In real life because I have long dark hair and a pale complexion I have dabbled more than a few times with the look, and it is one of my favourite fashion genres; but of course for it to be truly effective it has to be done well. And there are a lot of bloggers out there in the SL Metaverse who really DO know how to Goth. (If you do a search in Google you’ll find some great blogs like THIS one, and THIS one, ooh and THIS one too!) What I’m trying to say is that adding a few elements of this style to your look can really work sensationally, so why not give it a try?
Gothmas By Gaslight is the perfect place to start!

I’m having one of those ‘I cannot be arsed’ days today in RL, and it’s sort of carrying on into my second. So I’ve decided today is a day for being lazy! But instead of wearing a onesie and slobbing on the sofa, I intend to lounge about like a lady. So to that end I’m wearing LUXURIA lingerie, enhanced by this rather fabulous necklace from LARK. I feel like I should be splashing around in a champagne glass, like Ms. Dita Von Teese, but instead I’ll be sipping on multiple cups of tea and napping frequently. Such is life!
I’ve kept my fabulous JALWA ‘Coven’ skin on for the shoot, as blogged in my last post, and I’ve been racking my brains trying to think of who I look like in this. (I’ve got it! Madge in her ‘Confessions Of A Dancefloor’ phase-her last truly great album in my opinion) I’ve teamed it with my favourite style of the year, and more on that later, which is called ‘Plenty’ by MAGIKA. Last but not least is this stunning lingerie, It’s called ‘Rosa’, and it really lives up to the LUXURIA brand name. It’s incredibly delicate and girly, but the under bust corset has a very strong, well defined shape and there is lacing to the rear to compliment. I think it is utterly divine; and perfect for days like today, when you have chores to do but intend to do them dressed to the nines, and then some! Look, if I have to vacuum today I am going to be utterly sensational when I do it, OK?
The necklace from LARK is the finishing touch. Again, Sienia Trevellion has crafted a corker, this time in this opulent bow-tie necklace. I can see this looking fabulous with a number of things, but for a real statement I’d say try teaming it with a tuxedo jacket;wearing *nothing* underneath it. (A kind of look that evokes Lauren Hutton and 80’s decadence.)
You can find this necklace in four colours; Silver, Gold, Black and Champagne, and it’s resize scripted too, available at the ACID LILY GALLERY EVENT.
