Red and white

There are so many quality freebies around at the moment it's difficult to know where to start. Red is the order of the day, in line with the Christmas season, and you can't move for yummy xmas frocks.

However it wasn't that hard a choice as Bossa Nova is one of my favourite designers: her classy style is just in tune with mine. If you go to her store you'lle find the freebie Noel dress ready and waiting: it includes long red gloves as well as a frothy skirt and a top which is not too low cut.

I teamed it with one of Second Mirage's Advent gifts: a lovely ruby necklace set - and to add some amusement, some snowman earrings which were a group gift from Talisman, matching the white of the underskirt!

You'll see I've got new hair today: not free I'm afraid, but very good value - the "Undine", after the water nymph. It adds the extra frothy seasonal touch.

Another free (one dollar) item that caught my eye was this fun hoody. I had to put on some of the hair I got from Nyte n' Day in their newbie pack to show off the actual hood - which has an (empty) gift package peeping out! The Christmas tree earrings, also from Second Mirage (their table-top gift of the month) picked up the motif on the hoody. Cute, and I like to team a casual top with a full skirt when the top is as nice as this one.
