Getting Ready for the New Year

My new Dutchie kitchen looks like a real cook's kitchen circa 1920. Lucky for me there are things to do in this kitchen besides cook!

A Beautiful Mess

Oh Truth Hawks, I love you. The latest releases are inspired!  The new Gaia hair is casual and tousled and REAL! And for those of us who absolutely can't bear to let the hair stay in our eyes for long, it comes with a slightly tidier version as well. Two styles (sort of) in one! This is one of three styles released right before Christmas. You'll want them all, I promise.

Just Call Me Casually Cool

Is there anyone in Second Life that doesn't love the clothes from Maitreya? Right now there are new releases that work beautifully together. The dress and short sleeve sweaters are fabulous! I haven't tried the sweater with other items yet, but I will!

My cute-as-can-be hat hair is a members' gift from Lelutka and Celoe. Members of either group can pick up the fatpack AND a new Christmas tree at either store.

I participated in a Secret Santa gift exchange in SL this year and really enjoyed chatting with my Secret Santa (who is no longer a secret and now on my friend list). The red and black rose Cannibelle tights are one of my gifts from Santa. I wanted tights and stockings with SLink appliers and she delivered! Thanks so much Pink Cardboard!

TokiDoki at The Dressing Room Fusion

There are so many great new releases out right now, but I can't pass up a sale. The Dressing Room Fusion is all new and my favorite piece of the new collection is the long sweater from TokiDoki. I'm also loving my new Truth hair and again, that lovely Maya skin from The Skinnery (a gacha item at The Arcade), this time in toffee.

Hair Fix and other Addictions

There are a lot of great new things to talk about in this picture. First among them is that Truth is back to work *cracks her whip* and has released five new hairs! Plenty of you know about Truth Hair withdrawal. It's only been a few weeks that he hasn't released new hair, but it was a tough few weeks for me!

My new sort-of-schoolgirl vest, shirt and skirt is Tee*fy's new release for Collabor88. I had to get several color combinations and had the toughest time deciding what to show. The owl pendant is an Arcade Gacha item from Maxi Gossamer. Pretty cute, huh?

The new Maya skin, which I'm in love with, is also from The Arcade Gacha Event, a release from The Skinnery. It was the first time I'd tried any skin from that store and I was surprised how much I liked it. Do you ever try on a new skin and say, "Oh shit," because you were hoping it wouldn't appeal to you? I do it all the time, mostly because my skin choices keep getting bigger and bigger (and so does my inventory - don't ask). There's a realism to this skin that makes it different from some of my other favorites. Appliers for our SLink hands and feet are available at the Skinnery Mainstore. I'll be keeping my eye out for more skins from this store, and a full line of this particular skin.

Cozy with coldLogic Cardigans

I coveted this new release coldLogic cardigan outfit the moment I saw it. There are plenty of color combinations in the fatpacks, but the red and black spoke to me of holiday spirit. The tree is great too, isn't it? It's sold by Purple Poses at an event called Winter Trends 2013. It has four built in Christmas poses for us snap happy bloggers, or you can use it alone for decoration.
