As Pure As The Driven Snow

As Pure As The Driven Snow

..of which, we have plenty in the UK.  I swear I’m starting to get cabin fever! Anyhoo, following on from my last post raging about events is a look I cobbled together purely from shopping at two of them: FROU FROU and BLUSH. Now, you know my thoughts on FROU FROU so I won’t go over them again here.  BLUSH is a different beast, it follows a more conventional in-world format; there are no surprise layouts or quirks. When you first rez into the event you’re in a room which is pretty much filled with awesomeness. Seriously, this is where the majority of the quality is at, and I relished looking around at the lovely things that were on offer. I’m guessing this initial room cost a bit more to be included in than the second, which is a far more mixed bag; after you’ve exhausted all your shopping options in the main room and wander into the second you’ll still find great designers such as WASABI. EXILE, KIBITZ and ATOMIC to name check just a few, but if I’m being honest there are a few slightly ropey inclusions. But let me stress I’m NOT applying that to everything in the room, there are some excellent contributions to be found but it lacks the overall consistency of the first.  That said I certainly spent enough in both rooms, which contributed to my pulling this rather fabulous look together!Sweet Dreams

It’s all about layering and the purity of white, contrasted with a peekaboo bra and a cracking bolero jacket.  This is one of those occasions where I wish I had bought a ruddy fatpack rather than a few singles, but hey ho…  The jacket is really very pretty and detailed well; a textured base with fluted edging tape all the way around, and it’s tied with a bow.  Above that, I am wearing the glorious wee AVAWAY ‘Gwen’ corset collar with contrasting metal trim.  It comes with a very extensive hud enabling you to change the colour of the ribbons and the metal filigree frame.

My underwear is of course from FROU FROU, as I have simply adored that event. This peek a boo bra and panty set is from ABRASIVE. The ‘Lustful Lingerie’ set hugs the curves and really turns heads, which admittedly does tend to happen when your norks are out, even in Second Life. To complete the look I added some rather lovely AMD lace garters along with some favourite LUXURIA stockings. Last but not least, some vintage style glasses from MULLOY and the hairstyle that I really cannot get enough of at the moment, ‘Lady’ By TRUTH,  My poses are a cracking discovery that I made at BLUSH, they’re by POSEIDON and the set is called ‘Flirtation’ Who’da thunk it, huh?

Despite the obvious sauciness of this look I actually think it’s incredibly beautiful, hope you do too!

It is frigging FREEZING in the UK at the moment. As I write I’m pretty much snowed in, but instead of feeling all warm and cosy about it I’m feeling grumpy. It’s -6 at the moment, and I just don’t like the cold. I don’t like the heat either, I’m happiest at a nice median temperature.  I like my weather like I like my porridge, not too hot, not too cold, but just right.

Speaking of which, I’ve found something just right whilst out and about on my virtual jollies; a glorious off the shoulder jumper dress by ROWNE.  It’s called ‘Charlee’ and fits my Maitreya Lara body perfectly out of the box.  It features an excellent cable texture and those on trend, chunky, ever-so-slightly ballooned sleeves that everyone’s wearing.

A simple dress needs a simple hairstyle and I found a beautiful style by MINA to accompany my dress, also at UBER.  This is a low slung ponytail, with backcombed volume at the crown and a loose side-swept fringe.  You can wear it over either shoulder via HUD, but I couldn’t help feeling there was a lost opportunity here; if you can style it over either shoulder, why not offer the option for BOTH ponytails at the same time, adding even more versatility to such a great look?

To finish I slung on some shades that I picked up at REWIND, these ‘Dahlia’ shades in Ombre are a classic shape but have added 90’s zest from the heart motif on the left lens. After adding some old favourite boots and a wardrobe staple, my BOOM ribbon choker I was good to go!

Day Two of ‘Kitty’s Week Of Lovely Things’ and I found this lovely bodysuit by TABOU at FROU FROU. It is just so darn pretty that, yet again, I find myself loving and longing for something in my real life, not just my second. It’s a very simple fitted bodysuit, with a keyhole styling at the front featuring a bow, and substantial lace panels to the top of the thing and rear of the suit.   I actually had a ton of fun styling this; it’s just as at home under a jacket as it is a kimono; add a pair of heels and I dare you to wear it to a club! The Eva bodysuit is created to fit Slink, Belleza and Maitreya, and costs L$210. You’ll find it in this gorgeous deep red colour along with four other essential shades: Black, white, a very vibrant pink and a beautiful blue-grey. I think it’s a must-have, what do you think? Snapshot_001

Love is in the air, up your nose..all over the grid. St. Valentine’s Day is one of those celebrations that Second Life does extremely well, and we’ve been spoiled for choice with the majority of inworld events, sales and specials choosing to feature February 14th, 2018  as their focus. Whether or not you’re spending your Valentine’s Day alone or as part of a couple there are plenty of lovely things to splurge your hard earned lindens upon just for you, and I thought I would share some of my favourites with you this week. Go ahead, treat yo’self!

Let’s start with an event that you simply must not miss, FROU FROU.  This event is all about lingerie;  think sexy, feminine styling with a bit of leather and lace thrown in for good measure.  All tastes, from mildly kinky to sweet and innocent, are catered to here and even better all the items featured are 100% mesh.

Now, I’m NOT an official blogger for this, so my raving about it comes purely from my experience, but it’s one of those events that is an absolute joy to shop at. For a start it looks absolutely beautiful; the choice of skybox setting and internal decoration oozes luxury and class and makes shopping at the event a real treat, so congratulations to all involved in this Flair For Events production.Valentines_006Let me share with you my first selection from this event, the ‘Nani’ Lingerie set from BEAUTY FACTORY.  ‘Nani’ is a lace two piece set.  The top is fastened with a ribbon at the back, and the bottoms are styled as a full brief that reveals just enough through the open lace texture to tantalise whilst hiding your modesty.  I love the off-centre ribbon and bow detail on the pantie and the fluted styling of the sleeves on the top. It’s a simple set but it’s super effective, with a great lace texture that really looks the part. I opted for the simplicity of the white ‘Nani’ lingerie set, but there are six options available to choose from, including black, along with pink, red, light blue and violet.  It’s just L$199 and I think it’s an absolute steal. It looks really classy and I’m tempted to go back and get all the colours in the range! Fancy one too? I’ll see you at FROU FROU then! (If you can get in that is, but fear not, the event is open until March 10th)
