Apologies for not blogging much over the past couple of days dear reader- I’ve been a tired wee kitty:) The odd times I have been in world have found me shopping for all things Xmas-decorations, tinsel, gifts and trees. I’ve had an absolute ball and have found some smashing things which I shall share with you over the next few blog posts.Until then, here’s a piccy of me posing next to my freebie tree which is festooned in baubles and surrounded by gift boxes…doesn’t it look great? Speaking of great, I’m wearing a delicious JACKet (get it?) by Nekorifik! in this picture, teamed with skirt and leggings from Street Magic (as is the pose) and divine Christmas shoes (part of an outfit) from Insolence. Topped off with my ol’ faithful gloves and my favourite festive hair-do, ‘Wynter’ by Deviant Kitties, I think I look just the part for some serious christmas wrappage….pass the sticky tape would you?

Achariya.Net “Dress Me Up Challenge!”
Achariya Rezak has issued a challenge to SL Bloggers and this Kitty wants to play! This idea, ‘The dress Me Up Challenge’, has sparked a blogging frenzy with lots of participants, and kudos to Achariya for such a brilliant idea. I think it has the potential to be oodles of fun- please be forthcoming with your suggestions! I hope will be a way for me to discover some new designers, and for you to share your knowledge of corking places that I haven’t discovered yet (!Yes, there are some of those..hard to believe isn’t it!?) I know this is going to completely skint me as well, but pah- such fun!
Here are the rules, and I hope you all come up with some corking suggestions for me!
1. Post a picture of yourself in your underpants.
2. In this post, invite your readers to suggest a particular outfit (or hair, jewelry, shoes, skin, etc.) from a designer for you to purchase and write about. (Designers, feel free to suggest items from your own line – why not, after all?) People who respond should explain why they like these items.
3. In the next few weeks, look back over the suggestion list and incorporate these ideas into your regular blogging, marking these entries with the tag “dress me up.” Post in as many or few suggestions as you want.
It’s a kind of Street Magic!
No, I’m not talking about the annoying shenanigans that David Blaine gets up to ..Feast your eyes on this little festive beauty! Finished? Now focus on the outfit I’m wearing instead, ain’t it scrummy yummy? Last night I was like a kitty in a freshly made litter-box, scrabbling around in a frenzy and whooping with joy at the bounty that had been dropped on me in world by a new name to the grid, ‘Street Magic’. There was LOADS of stuff included which I’m going to bore you with over the next week and on my Flickr pictures (Left hand side, down a bit..bingo!) and this delightful little ensemble was included. It’s called ‘ ~Street Magic~’Black Sunday Red Set’ ( L$275) Now on first glance you may think this is a tad ‘Meh’, but ho-ho, not so! (See what I’m doing here? Festive Kitty, available for your Christmas function-book now!) Ahem.
Back to the outfit which is decidedly un-meh indeed. For starters, there’s the dress..it’s a nice, plain black dress with a skirt just the right side of sticky-outy for my tastes. The top is in a plain t-shirt style, but shows off enough of my gargantuan norkage for me and the rest of the grid to be happy:) So far so what I hear you cry, there’re plenty of plain dresses in-world to choose so why should I opt for this one? Well, let me illuminate you dear reader by shoving your virtual chops in the direction of the wonderful fabric and texture that make this little black number a cut above the rest. Look, look, LOOK at the detailing! You see? Absolutely fabbo texture choice selected for this piece, and this skirt pleating is absolutely spot on, don’t you think? It’s PERFECT for adding nice winter accessories such as huge scarves and whatever you like to. Add skates, and you have the ideal skating frock..add a pashmina, jacket and some posh boots and you have a chic outfit for going out on the town. Add piercings, tattoos and probably the entire range of Gritty Kitty goodies and you have a grungeworthy number just right for hanging out like a virtual emo on street corners. It all works with this fab little frock.
Not only that, the dress comes with these fantastic red arm bracers which look uber cool don’t they? The patterned tights that you can just see peeking into the picture are part of the set too. I ruddy well love it. For the picture I’ve dressed my frock up with the Luster Emerald Skin by Curio which adds a great dash of colour, and looks festive to boot. If you want to go the whole hog and look Christmassy without being overtly blatant about it then I suggest you add this fabbo hair that I’m wearing, which is the latest release by Deviant Kitties. It’s called ‘Wynter’ and get used to it folks cos you’re going to see it *everywhere* Deviant Kitties was packed with avatars trying this style on and no wonder, it’s great fun and looks great in whichever colour option you choose. I’m especially impressed with the Christmas edition which is on sale at a measly L$75 ( it’s a white tipped red shade, very Santa) but for the picture I’ve opted to wear black. I bought a pack of three black shades for L$200. In this pose you don’t really get the full effect of the hair, but it features a modern take on the Princess Leia updo with two buns hoisted high up on your bonce. It’s enhanced with these Christmas lights, which are so quirky and really brought a smile to my chapped, cracked lips (It’s cold) But even better than that the style also gives you the option of wearing texture change ear muffs which means you can co-ordinate with your fave winter accessories like I mentioned before. What’s not to love? I think this is a brilliant outfit that has been superbly executed and I’m going to be plugging Street Magic to death this week because of the rest of the wares they’ve sent me to try..they really are that good. Click HERE for the clothing and HERE for the hair:) I’m off for some mulled wine and a nice sit down. All this fashion happiness has made me feel quite fatigued.
( Gosh I really do talk batshit sometimes don’t I?)
New hair, new wear…
Haven’t been to Dutch Touch for a while- my bad, because as stores go it offers seriously fresh goodies for the savvy shopper. I’ve always held the seperates in high esteem from there..in particular jackets, tops and skirts, but I’ve never invested in Dutch Touch hair until today, and it will be something I wear more often. Dutch Touch have released a number of new styles to celebrate their opening at Willow Beach. The styles aren’t usual Kittywear, BUT as soon as I tried the demos I fell head over heels in love. One of the most exciting things are the combinations of colour (Copper + pink anyone? Sounds ewww but works very well!) and I especially love the styles that feature woollen beanie hats. Eefje is my absolute fave, the hair frames the face beautifully and there’s a lovely twisted bun/plait effect peeking out at the back. It looks lovely, and I simply adore the hat…I’m desperate for a hat like this one in real life! (I live in the UK, so if anyone knows where I can get a similar one please tell me!) I’m wearing it teamed with one of the latest releases from Snatch, ‘Lesser Evil’ and Ivey has excelled herself yet again. She’s picked a wonderful palette of colours for the season and her clothing works extremely well with this Dutch Touch hair…I’ve mixed in a scarf and my panjen gloves to finish the look which is perfect for mooching around some of the chillier parts of the grid. The festive season is starting to kick in, with lots of snowy sims and ice skating galore…yay for Winter!
