Ivalde love

During advent Ivalde has been as generous as ever, with a gift every day. This post shows off two items: her Karin white dress and Agnetha snowflake bolero. I wanted to keep snug and the oyakin*summer-leggings*(light-blue) were waiting in my inventory andjust when I was looking for the right footwear the :Duh!:: Nordic Knit Boots arrived as a DSN gift. I had already picked up the Bliss Couture Crazy Hair (Black), free instore, and am still wearing the Ibizarre free nail polish (here in dark blue) and the Pixeldolls group gift Catalina Peachy skin.
Around the time of the jewelry fair I picked up the Alienbear Gupte Kitty Cyrus Earrings as a group gift, and round my neck is the Noel Necklace I found as part of the LVS hunt, from U&R Dogs. Finally, an advent gift from Kosh (in the box I'm holding) was the underground dawn bracelet.

Out of the boudoir ...

...onto the ice rink. This ensemble is not low prim at all I'm afraid - I paid for both the biker jacket and the dress, and they were worth every Linden! The dress is a beautiful creation from Boudoir, the Black Lace dress. The skirt flows in movement and falls gracefully when you are standing still. The Biker Jacket from Grasp has rich sparkling buttons and buckle and the prims were easy to adjust. Myhair was from a new-to-me designer, Liriope. I went to get the freebie Christmas hair (an elegant updo in green, with a festive flower) and couldn't resist this flattering hair, Nat in black. I think the rest of my outfit consists of freebies: I'm still in the Pixeldolls group gift skin, the Miss Mara shawl was also a group gift from LeeZu Baxter and it fits very snugly. My boots were the amazing free black patent Soho boots from the Maitreya subscribomatic and I picked up the hooped Vertigo earrings at the Jewelry Fair from La Forgia Jewels. You can see me skating in the fun skating rink next to AnaLee Balut's shop.

Classic black

This is a classic, cool look with some stellar pieces. The Maitreya soho boots are worth their full price, but for a mere click of their Subscribomatic instore you can get this versatile black patent and suede pair. I am still wearing my new favourite hair, Find Ash's freebie Normal Hair[Charcoal Gray]. I also still have the comfy dark leggings from the C'est La Vie lucky chair. With its own unique style, the Sugarcube former opening gift of the pine straw dress is sculpted loveliness. Caroline's Natural Rings necklace was not free, but very cheap, and its simple, yet unusual, gold links make an elegant statement. An element of whimsy is brought in by the GJK slice of summer bird pierce earrings. I am also wearingIbizarre freebie nail polish, and Pixeldolls' group gift Peachy skin.

Cosy

A cosy look for autumn, with new freebies or dollarbies. The grey woollen dress and stripey leggings came from 20 minutes camping at C'est la Vie. Then there is a clutch of items from Find Ash: the normal hair was in a freebie board, and the Gothic Stole and Mixture bracelet were in Lucky Boards (lots of them at Find Ash at the moment). The stole includes the scarf and the necklace, which as you can see has a Halloween element (and the scarf is also colour change). The pumpkin theme is picked up in the earrings, which are Earthstones' Halloween freebie. The babouches are still my old favourites from 2g, and I am also still wearing the Pixeldolls freebie Peachy! skin.

Diwali delight

Mashooka put out some beautiful Diwali gifts for her visitors. This Nisha gharara dress is worth paying for now the gifts are past, and it is complemented by her Diwali-gift Arpita Jewelry: bracelet , earrings and headpiece. My hair was a Halloween gift from Baiastice: Witch&Vampire hair 2. On my feet are the free babouche by 2G that I featured before and a Midnight Mania anklet from Earthstones.

Not an Alpentraum

A wonderful October group gift from ALB Dream (the long skirt, with its layers of different fabric and intruiguing belt) continues the autumn theme. I am wearing it with part of Baiastace's group gift, the Hershey dress, which includes adorable bows on the sleeves. These should still be available, but Kyccie is gone now, alas, and so this magnificent necklace and earrings (her last freebie) is not available either. The hair, shoes, skin and tights are the same as the previous post.

Autumn dreaming summer

In SL you can be dressed for autumn but still enjoy summer ....
Here I'm warm and cosy in the G.Field Halloween gift of the pumpkin-coloured long sweater (free) and their "Anna" ankle boots (30 Linden). In between are some thick tights, brightened up a little with the patterned pants from Ivalde's Vivikes dress (a subscribomatic gift). I'm also wearing the group gift from PixelDolls, the Catalina Peachy! skin and my favourite Avarice hair from BishWear. The hair and the pumpkin earrings (iGems) were previous gifts, no longer available.
