Blush of Winter

Because it's cold out here in California, I'm bringing you warm kisses and the embrace of luxuriously soft knit sweaters to warm your winter day.  The Alice Mesh Dress by Chandelle fits like a dream, and I love the white/red gradient shade, which actually looks more of a blush pink to me.  You can find at the Winter Wishes Market through January 7th, for only 99L.

I've snuggled deeper into the warm sweatery mood by topping it off with the red Winter Scarf by Auxiliary, from the current TDR (The Dressing Room) Fusion selection.  If you haven't been to the new location, please update your landmarks and get rid of the old TDR and TDR-Blue

While there are an amazing variety of lovely new skins out right now, I just keep coming back to my favorite skin, the Melissa Sunkissed by Belleza, that I've been wearing since my birthday in June.  To it, I've added the Sunny Smoke Eyeshadow in pink from MONS, found now at TDR Fusion.

My hair is Volume by Magika.  If you haven't been to Magika in awhile, they have a wonderful selection of mesh hairs now, as well as the stand-by sculpted selection.  And you get a huge pack of color options for only 250L.  Magika, I love you in my life.  I also recently blogged the After style by Magika, here, and just love the quality and realism of the newer Magika styles.

Muah!

Gacha Style - I Don't Do Cute

Gacha Where I Want Ya (click here for larger image)

I don't do cutesy.  Or, at least, not easily.  Some friends of mine were talking about it on Plurk the other day.  And while some people are able to pull off the cutesy look, I am not one of those people.  Apparently I don't have the patience to wipe out my grid-lines either, or download the new SL Beta Viewer.  Ah well, one thing at a time.

So, in an attempt to break out of my serious mode (and also get back into blogging since I've been MIA for awhile...)  I took a trip to The Arcade Gacha Event, which is chock full of all kinds of cute stuff.

Renee Sinless - Glam Affair (click here for larger image)

Perhaps the Gacha gods had heard that I don't do cutesy either, but they seemed to agree with me, bestowing me with pale beautiful somber Renee - Sinless skin from Glam Affair, Juliet lilac hair and hat from Bonne Chance, a complete and very lovely outfit from Mon Cheri including the shirt, cardigan, shorts, leggings, and boots in teal, Insufferable Dastard contacts in Aqua, afk Headphone by Iruco, Secret Store's Tiny Satchel in Coral Delight, !bang mini Sassy poses, and the Love Teddy Bear necklace in Pink by MG (which really is rather cute and a nice contrast to my look).

Oh so here's a pet peeve:  Designers that don't put a landmark to their store in with their items, or a notecard telling about their store or brand.  I have no idea who "MG" is thought I suspect it's Maxi Gossamer.  I could go back to the Arcade event and look closer at the signage to see, but once I got home and un-boxed everything and tried it on and fumbled around with poses and windlight settings to take a few pictures, I was in no mood to go back sleuthing to figure it out or to get SLURLS to add into my post for other people to be able to go shopping to find items from these creators later.

A simple request... if you have pride in the things you create and want people to be able to find you and buy more things... drop a notecard or landmark in with your creations. /end rant  and really sorry that sounded a bit ungrateful.  I love that creators offer quality items at really great prices at things like the Gacha Event at The Arcade.  I really do!  Just trying to do my part to help and maybe dropping a lil hint here and there might in some way help.

And if you want to find some really great items, everything pictured above (except my shape and piercings) was found at the Arcade Gacha Event here.
