Snowed in Pink

 

Riot has a new group gift out - the woolen hat and mitten with multi-coloured hud.

The hat doesn't come with hair, but during the recent Black Friday sale, I purchased the Spirit hair from Stealthic which had an equestrian hat and I figured the hair would fit with this hat too. I now believe that it would also fit with other hats. Hmmm...

The pink top is from last week's Weekend sale at Neve. It also comes with multi-coloured and pattern hud. I didn't get the skirt because I hardly ever wear one nowadays. Always on the horse you know.

The jeans is from The Kiwi and it also comes with a multi-coloured hud. I think you see the pattern now... I am making my SL life simpler :)

The heart necklace and earrings are from Cae, from long ago.

This picture was taken at the Calas Midwinter sim, about an hour before show began and I used that opportunity to take an ultra graphic shot before the sim filled up and lag started. I love the way the flexi skirt moved but it was horrible in a sitting pose. Well, it looked great when dancing!

The hair is Unruly from Doux. The earrings, choker and bracelet are from Kibitz.

The gown is from GGVG Fashion and I bought it last winter with their store credit giveaway. This year, they gave us an outfit. Even without the store credit, the price is reasonable. I still remember when gowns used to cost over 1K linden coz I accidentally clicked on one a long, long time ago when a store was having a hunt... Imagine that!! Ugh!! To place a freebie real close to a buy smh

Last, I have not 1 but 2 AI rendered paintings!!

AI is definitely making my avatar look gorgeous. I think after all the thumbs down I gave, the programming finally computed what I wanted.

the Pair...finally

After what feels like forever, I finally got my pair of Silver Tobiano Snowflakes Gypsy Vanners.

They're both offsprings of Moonlight Rendezvous(pictured below) but from different mothers. They even have stars on their face which daddy doesn't have. The downside is that neither have matching mane and tails.

Breeding horses are expensive in my opinion. These beauties give birth to live foals and you can't box them and keep them in your inventory. Which means your herd will multiply exponentially and if you don't have the lindens and the prim space, you'll have to start sending them to the cloud ranch even if it breaks your heart. It's also difficult to get the traits that I want because I have no idea which are dominant and recessive.

I had to send some of my pretty Sorrel Leopard Bashir Curlies to the cloud ranch. That hurt.

But that didn't stop me from getting a pair of these starter costume horses, last year's Day of the Dead. The horse in the middle is a Lusitano with the 2014 Anniversary coat. And that KittyCat sitting on the haystack is Amos my 1368-day-old Day of the Dead kitty. They're all ready for Halloween!

The past 2 weeks Moon has been wearing last year's Halloween Gift from Coco and riding on La Bella. It was only fair to take a picture with my beloved Amos, MaryJane and Cassandra too. I had to take out the pumpkins in the crate coz MaryJane wanted to sit in it. Typical cat!

Moon and Ave Maria my Black Tovero Mustang. Today I got tired of the witchy outfit and changed into this year's Halloween Gift from Coco. Moon is also wearing leggings Neve, hair from Exile and shoes from {kokoia}.

I took the first and last picture on ultra high for the shadows while the others were on med graphics. I don't know. I kinda prefer the medium graphics.

Therein ends my non-building blogging. Have a good weekend!

a little bit Country

My little parcel is now a little ranch. The horses have out numbered the cats and the dogs. This month the Liaison Collaborative has gone Country Chic and while I was there, I bought the Dakota Bandana Top and Jacket from GO! so is the pose by [evoLove]. The hair and hat is from Argrace and the jeans from JustBecause.

Most of my kitties are now over 120 days old and no longer breedable except for the remaining 2 pairs of Toyger Tans Kittycats. Above is another pose by [evoLove] and Moon is wearing Undone Top by Neve from the same event. The hair is from Diva! and the necklace from Maxi Gossamer.

And Jinx has a texture Hud for your Water Horse Bento Riding Horse out at the Liaison Collaborative called Country Mane where the horse's mane is plaited into a diamond-shaped net. You also get to add daisies on the plaited mane and the forelock.

Pretty don't you think? In the 2 picture above, Moon is wearing the very lovely flower head accessory called Bagatiba by LODE at this month's Chapter Four. This is a Gacha item. The hair is from LittleBones and the dress is from Schadenfreude.

Here's a close-up:

I'm using eyes from Mesange, Monica skin from Deetalez, Lelutka Simone Bento Head, BentBox Sylvan Bento Ears and Maitreya Lara Mesh Body.

Feels like Spring

                                 

This is one of the many pretty hairstyle you can get from Magarita of Truth Hair at Uber this round. I like that it also has daisies which are optional. I chose blonde because I'm into that colour at the moment. Eventhough it's Summer, it feels like Spring. 

I wanted to get the Lexie Hair from Entwined but I'm not a gambling girl. I wanted only the blonde hair and so I searched the Marketplace and found one in dark blonde. 

Uber is 3 years old and as their birthday, they've invited friends to their bash and KittyCats was invited. Of course I had to get them. These 2 cats will even give birth to a special baby the first time.

Above are my furbabies from past years. Aren't they just so adorable in their costumes? I just had to show them off... 

the Cat's Meow

I'm waiting for my Zebras to give birth.

In the meantime, I saw this picture on Flickr and I had to go demo the skin. So here is new Moon in Monica from Deetalez. I only had to tweak Moon's face shape a little bit.

Moon is also wearing hair from no.match called No_Intention which I bought from Hair Fair 2017.

Moon Bento-fied

I finally upgraded Moon.

I've bento-fied her:) I spent the whole day shopping for her upgrades but truthfully, the window shopping started a week ago... all that demo-ing I had to do. And then the time spent tweaking her face! OMG only after the eleventh attempt was I satisfied with her face. I think she looks cute.

All the lindens spent! But I have to admit, I love the new Moon. And to complete the upgrade, she also has a new bento AO. Moon is all Bento-fied.

What upgrade Moon is wearing:
skin: theSkinnery Nora
mesh head: Lelutka Simone
mesh body: Maitreya Lara
AO: Vista Animation Miriam

New Skin for Moon

I haven't bought a new skin in ages, but last night when I saw the Skinnery Skin Kenza on the Seraphim blog, I decided to get the demo.

I've always admired the Skinnery skin faces but I've always had problems when I demoed it. There's always something not right. This time, it's just right! Moon still looks like Moon. Also, it's Moon's rez day. So Happy Birthday Moon!

Ok, maybe the picture above is not so clear. I was trying to be artistic.

Same pose, different windlight setting and no smiling.

The Kenza skin is actually bare-faced and I've added eye shadow, eyelashes and lipstick. Once I've bought the skin at the Shiny Shabby event, I also had to buy the SLINK feet and hand appliers at their Mainstore. Fortunately I am not into body and head mesh yet or I'd have gone broke.

I love that mole above the upper lips.

What Moon is wearing(everything except the skin are old stuffs):

skin: [the Skinnery] Kenza - Bare face (honey)
eyes: Mayfly - Luminous - Mesh Eyes (November Midnight)
lashes: Maitreya V.I.P. GroupGift
eyeshadow: Kyoot Makeup - Cateyes I - Pack 1 (Basic Blacks) Catty & Pelle Make - up - SMOOTH EYESHADOW PACK
lipstick: Izzie's Christina's lipstick pink
hair: ^;^CaTwA^;^ Mesh Rosalina Hair [5]
moles: moles 2 from MYNERVA
jewellery: MG - Necklace - Love Catcher Heart
dress: FOREVER SUMMER Pink Hibiscus Hawaiian Sarong Dress 69L at the Marketplace

And to end this post, a picture of Moon and the pink Scotty Fold Kitties.

Check out those four sleeping MegaPuss in the background!

Walk in the Park

I took the pups for a stroll at the Calas Galadhon sims. Autumn is in the air.

Now that I've completed the Victorian Townhouse series, I wanted to make some more dresses with flexi skirts. Just like those cute puppies, I cannot resist floral prints. These dresses are strapless and since it's fall at the Calas Galadhon sims, Moon has a jacket on. I thought flat boots were more suitable for walking the puppies. What if they ran? High heels on uneven ground is cause for unsightly mishaps.

Close-up of Moon wearing the new skin Vanessa from New Faces.

What Moon is wearing:
hair: MINA - Iris - Black
skin: New Faces Vanessa Olive
eyes: Mayfly --Luminous - Mesh Eyes(Teal Hazel)
earrings: MONS / Earrings - indi / fatpack
necklace: MG Necklace Jazz hands Frog Ivory
jacket: *FOREVER SUMMER Amelia's Brown Denim Short Jacket 2styles
dress: {FS} Strapless Garden Party Dress3 with Texture Hud

My latest floral dresses with the flexi skirts, now available at the Simple Things Mainstore. They can also be worn without the skirt.

I've also started to pack my other collections into texture huds to lessen the inventory count:

And these peplum dresses I did a while back but totally forgot about them:

Finally,

As always, please try the demo.

Girls in Pantsuit

 These pantsuits remind me of the 70s.

The girls in Bohemian and Polkadot prints pantsuits.

The girls in Flower Power and Ombre Polkadot prints pantsuits.

The girls in Silk and Velvet pantsuits.

I couldn't wear the SLink shoes with these pantsuits because the ankles protrude at the back and the SLink feet cannot be moved(ie edited) so I used N-Core's shoes which can me moved around and up and down. There are virtues in not boxing up some stuffs no matter how massive the inventory has become since I made clothes.

Other colours and prints are also available at the Beach Store and the Marketplace. As always, please try a demo.

hair: TRUTH HAIR Electra -  variety
eyes: Mayfly
skin: New Faces  - Mei Ying  (Ivory)

jewellery: : Amorous : Organic
