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.

Hats for a day

 Today we're wearing hats bought for this weekend sales!

me: Exile -  Lulu

him: No.Match - No Rodeo

Everything else is a mix n match of old stuffs, Neve Stone jacket, Hilly Haalan Marcella skirt and KC Amira boots. I also redid my plot to add the red horse barn.

That elephant bag from (TokiD) is ancient!

Lilly and Scarlett

 I cannot get over the fact that LelutkaEVO Lilly2.5 is cute and then I got theSkinnery Scarlett groupgift skin and it was bam! Utterly adorable with those baby cheeks and round eyes! theSkinnery group is FREE at the moment, so go grab it. Unfortunately, this gift only comes for the head and not the body. Fortunately for me, I had an older skin which matches. 

If you want this Mandy Shape, I have put it up as a copy and mod FREEBIE on the Marketplace for a limited time.

So I took Moon for a few rounds of skating at the Calas Galadhon Christmas Pavillion.

Cool Weather Days

I've always loved Jian's animals and during my roleplay days, I was in a wolf clan, so how can I resist this very affordable wolf for this past Saturday Sale?
Neve came out with this outfit, Stone Jacket and Tomboy V2 Pants at FAMESHED. I love clothings that don't bare it all. I paired the outfit with Gos' Star Boots from last week's Fifty Linden Friday find.
The hair is Truth's lastest Group gift.
In the background is my Jaynie Fairytail Cottage.

Also at Fameshed, I acquired COCO's Faux Fur Jacket and High neck Sweater which I paired with my favorite Tres Blah Flared Jeans.
The hair is from ELIKATIRA.
Those cute puppies are from Jian's previous releases.

Season of Change

The day before Lelutka had their mesh head update, I was tweaking my avie's face shape. I was becoming bored of her face. I use Lelutka Simone Mesh Head and Dee TaleZ Hettie.

On the left is Moon3.0 while on the right is Moon3.2. I had to re-tweek the eyes because the updated version made the eyes from the previous shape too big and it was a relief that the outer corner eye can finally be moved up or down. I was really happy that I could tweak the mouth shape into this cute pouty version. Congrats to the Lelutka Team! I can't stop staring at Moon!

 For the moment, Moon will be having dark brown eyes. Neve is having a sale and I figured it was time to update Moon's wardrobe to reflect her youthfulness. The hair is from the recent FLF DPYumYum.

I also splurged on this new release from Neve at the Tres Chic Event and the Galina hair from Doe at the Tannenbaum Event. Those fringed boots were from Bueno for the recent Saturday Sale.

And of course, those cute pups from Jian. Moon rarely leaves home without at least one pet companion!

Now that I've indulged in the guilty pleasure of spending, I'll go back to building!

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.
