Have you got all your Christmas Shopping done? No? Me either. I sure do look cute shopping in SL today though, thanks to Blueberry. They just released cute leggings and jackets. The leggings have winter and holiday prints (shown) and all kinds of other prints and colors for the rest of the year to pick from. The jackets come in both denim and leather (shown).

        Tannenbaum is a yearly festival that focuses on holiday items and I always love this time of year. I am wearing three new items that you can find exclusively at Tannenbaum: Doe's hair, Decoy's coat, and Eudora 3D's boots. I also stocked up on holiday decorations like this lighted arch from Balaclava that I used to cover my walkway. I am working hard on my new winter themed house and this is a little sneak peak.

        This was the Walker Family Home from March 2018 through August 2018. And then until actually November 2018 because I just did not get around to making a new fall house like I normally do. So before I picked it all up, I made a video and took some pictures. I spent most of my time and prims on outdoor living spaces and opted for a very small house with limited indoor space and walls of windows. I hope you like the video and pictures.

        Blueberry released new coats and boots recently. There are built in dresses and shirts in the coat. You can wear it alone or with your favorite jeans, shorts, or skirts. The shirts on their own are included in your fatpack coat purchase or you can buy it in a mini-fatpack as well. The boots include flat and high heeled boots and two lengths of socks.

I did a close up blog post of my face/jewelry/eyes/and hair in THIS POST.

        Pink Fuel just released a new full skin for Catwa heads, Ffion. Ffion is a Welsh girl name that means foxglove, which is a pretty flower. This is a freckled skin that is a sister skin to the recent Powder Pack skin, Pippa. If you liked that skin, this one is a similar freckled skin and a full release. Your purchase comes with 6-7 eyebrow colors and no brow options. It also has eyeshadows and lipsticks made for this skin sold separately. My adorable dear necklace is new by Cae released at faMESHed and my hair is new by Exile released at Vanity. My eyes are new by Arte and were released at eBento made for Catwa, Lelutka, and Omega. Here is a collage to show some of the skin tone, eyebrow color, and makeup variety in Ffion. The collage also shows the 6 colors that come in the Arte eye pack.

        I recently bought my first Lelutka head because I wanted one for blogging items made only for Lelutka. I held off buying one for so long because I never found one that really felt like "me" and my Catwa Kimberly is absolutely me. I have tweaked this shape until I am pretty happy with it and I think it is pretty and close to "me". I still prefer my Catwa, but I am surprised by how much this is growing on me. Which head do you like better on me (please let me know in the comments)?

         Lelutka recently updated their heads to version 3.2. When you wear your head, it should automatically send you the update. I did not know how to use my old 3.0 version very well and I am not even sure of the updates, but Cassie did a video and Strawberry made a video- so definitely check those out if you have questions. Because this head is new to me (and I adore Pink Fuel and Luxrebel), I bought this month's Powder Pack. I did not have a lot of makeup or skins for this head and so it was a great way to get a whole bunch for a relatively low cost. Especially since this pack contained two skins, tons of makeup, eyes, and lashes. I really loved pretty much everything in the pack except for one lipstick set that did not fit my lips. I made an unboxing video so you can see all the goodies:


     

       This new retro style hair was just released by Truth at the Truth main store. I love all the details and of course it comes with a style HUD so you can change it up about 6 or so ways. Kunglers just released this gorgeous rose jewelry set at Sense Event.

        I went looking for a pretty snow sim today and I found Snow Falls. When I got there, they had a greeter that thanked the blogger Inara Pey for doing a recent blog post on the sim with a blog link. That made me fall in love with this sim even more since that showed me that they appreciate bloggers. The sim's winter beauty and all mesh build stands on its own, however. I highly recommend a visit to this sim!

        I am wearing new items that were just released at this round of faMESHed. Neve released this thick, comfy turtleneck sweater and overall skirt. Eudora 3D released the Jane pumps and socks.

        It is the holiday season and you are going to need some new party dresses. Narcisse is releasing some amazing ones lately that are covered in sequins. This long sleeve, open back, sexy short dress was released at the current round of faMESHed. The materials on this dress are amazing- so shiny! Essenz also released these strappy heels at faMESHed. Shop this round of faMESHed by November 27th.

        Neve is at The Liaison Collaborative with this sweater and skirt set. I love the sweater shrug and the wrap skirt details. I really love this argyle/ polka dot mix that I made. I like mixing patterns with coordinating colors. Reign is at Collabor88 with these fringe boots. You can get a whole fatpack of boots for a low price at the event.

        Oh the 70's! My mom's heyday. She graduated from high school in '72 and college in '76. All of the pictures of my mom as a young woman are really in this era and she had the hair and the clothes going on. The bigger the bell bottoms the better. Collabor88 is going back to the 70's this round and there are some amazing retro items at this event. On the left above I am wearing Just Because jeans and on the right my entire outfit is new by Decoy. Get over to Collabor88 and get your groove on.

        I have some super sexy, slightly X rated items on today. N-core is at Kinky Monthly with these sky high stilettos that have an optional strapped on vibrator and condom option so you are ready for any... situation *wink*. Kaithleen's released this risque lingerie set that barely covers the important parts and even comes with tassels. This was released at a recent event, but I missed blogging it during that event. I really think it is super hot though and you can find it at the main Kaithleen's store. Exile released two new hairstyles at the new round of Collabor88. I am showing the sexy, wavy Layla.

        I love dark plum in the fall. It is one of my favorite fall colors. Of course when you buy Gos shoes you get a whole HUD full of colors. This color is in the Blueberry color HUD. These new Gos shoes were just released at this round of Uber. Wasabi released this high ponytail at faMESHed X. My new metallic bracelets were just released by Kunglers at the new round of Cosmopolitan that starts today.

        Have you done a hunt recently? I used to do them all the time earlier in my SL, but I rarely do them now. One hunt that I always look for are the ones by Ricielli. They are always amazing quality for only 15L each and they are always really easy to find- no real looking is required. They just started a new hunt and their hunts are usually in the store for a little while. My outfit can be found in this Ricielli hunt.
