I am not good at late December. I just get this whole post-Christmas malaise, last year I just stopped blogging after Christmas day, and didn't pick it up again until like, May? I'm trying not to do that this year. But it's such a weird time. You spend so much of December amassing stuff in green and red and stripes and snowflakes and tinsel and lights and then there's a whole big day of woo yay peace-on-earth-and-goodwill-to-all-men and presents and tangerines and then it's back to life as normal and it makes my head feel weird. It's like, there's still months of winter to go, but that stuff just doesn't feel right in late December. It feels like that stuff is done with and we should be getting ready for Spring already. I dunno. I just don't know what to do with it. 

^ that's what happens when I let myself ramble. Sry.

One thing that does give the last week of December a bit of structure is New Years and the implication therein of partying. So here's this nice dress, Lets Dance, by Precious Designs. It comes with a colour change HUD with 7 different colors for the top, and there are also matching shoes, which I am not wearing here, but they are pretty sexy and have a spectacularly high heel. Yes, even higher than what I'm wearing now.What I am wearing right now are ieQED's Coral Loafer in Tinsel Tree, which straddle the line between classy and enormously tacky so elegantly that I can't even. Not shown in my pics in the insane sky blue the soles of these shoes are. I love them.

My hair is part of a very generous Christmas group gift from Little Bones. You get 5 different styles, and a HUD with 8 different shades of the Holiday Dips, that is to say, the red and green tips you see here. 
My ears, fill me with deep guilt and make me feel like I'm cheating. I've been wearing Allegory Malaprop's Fey ears since they first came out, nearly 5 years ago. But then everyone on Plurk was showing these Mandala ears, with their decorated tips and all the options they have and ommmmggggggg. They really really are beautiful, just gorgeous, they have 3 shape options, human, pixie and elf, and for a limited time at The Mens Dept, they're also I think half price? Rendering them an unmissable bargain. I still reserve the right to feel like a traitor for wearing them though.

These nails are also an excellent bargain tho. When I was at Nova Bodyshop the other day, they were half price, 25L, for like 10? 12? different red/white and red/black designs, and there's a monochrome set for the same price too. 
With my unsureness of how to decorate, I did another pass at this round of Liaison Collaborative. Looook at the sweet little paper town, complete with flickering tealights inside by Alouette. It's a gacha but with no Rares, so I was able to amass the entire town relatively quickly. By coincidence, Paper Towns is also my favourite John Green book. Just sayin.

I'll attempt to be brief, I'm sure there's things for us all to do on Christmas Eve! 

So - Sweater, very tasteful, by Shai at the Arcade, shoes are a group gift from Livalle - I like how they've got a subtle snowy-looking effect going on in various places over them. Ooh, my headband, is by Mango Cheeks, and is a really cool twist on the metal cat-ears headbands that have been around this year. Nails (finger and toes) are also a group gift, from A:S:S, and have various gift-wrap designs. 

My fantastic star-shaped nose ring and ear cuff there are by Atooly - they're HUD controlled with three metals and there is also a septum piercing version and you know what? Stars are like, way festive.

One last thing I want to mention - my bankground here is from Vanilla Textures, owned by my Secret SLanta this year, Libby Farleigh, who spoiled me with a bunch of awesome gifts, and I bought a ton of her textures, which are really really excellent and suuuper cute! 

If I don't see you tomorrow, have an amazing Christmas! I hope your day is beautiful and filled with joy for you and everyone you love!

I've been leaning too much towards dresses this December, too tasteful. So here's this!

My top is an applier by KaliKo, she's been producing a lot of applier clothing lately which I'm really enjoying, and as a bonus she's also now doing Omega appliers, which is good news for everyone! Also good news, the outfit this top comes from is currently a freebie at her Slink West (Physique applier only) and Love-n-Lust locations! 
My impossibly tiny shorts are by Sakide at the F R O S T event as part of the Thermal outfit, and include various HUD options including an ability to hide the pockets, decorative studs, and for the daring, panties. 

If you haven't been to the Arcade yet, you're clearly not paying attention. My socks by Erratic and my snow monster companion by my apparently unofficial mascot-maker of the season, silentsparrow, are from this month's round, but also from a gacha are my supercool horns (the lights are animated!). All of Souzou Eien's gacha machines are currently marked down to 25L a throw, so I was able to pick up a few of these in different colours, plus a few other awesome items, for next to nothing!

Though my pictures don't show it well, my hair by Tameless is a punky shaved-sides affair with a very full ponytail, but what I really love about it most is that one little strand hanging down at the front. I think that is completely charming.

Just so you know, that christmas tree there, she's not really that big. She's actually a cute cuddleable plushie tree, by my favourite plushie-enabler, silentsparrow, and is in Fifty Linden Friday today AND comes with Transfer perms for gifting. I just made her really big because I can!

I got new eyes this week, by Buzzeri as before, these are the Lillian eyes from this month's Kustom9, as is my lovely cascading locks by Olive. I have a serious Olive hair habit, I am not ashamed to admit it. I love the super fluffy texture and knitty band of my earmuffs, which are by Noodles, and includes the cutey bow on tip. 

My top by Moon Amore may not be the most obviously festive choice, but I dig the old 3d glasses-needing effect of the graphic, and it comes with a great HUD that allows you to customize the look of the sleeves and cuffs as well as changing the design on the front. My glam-rock platform boots by Insanya are at the FROST event and come in 8 colours and have a bunch of options as well as being comfortably compatible with Slink and Belleza mesh bodies. 

I think this eyemakeup by The Wicked Peach is genius! So subtle and effective. It's a Rare item from the Gacha Garden at this month's The Liaison Collaborative, and the other makeups in the machine are pretty special too. My nails are La Boheme in the Feel My Sack hunt and unfortunately I didn't photograph them so well, they're really quire lovely and detailed.

Phew, back from moving into my new house, which I didn't previously mention because I didn't think anyone reading this would care. Anyway it's nice and now I have superfast internet too, and must get back into the blogging saddle with this look I photographed last week and then hated the pictures and never posted and then rephphotographed today. It's all such a process.

So here we are - my gorgeous nude and lace halter dress is by Lacuna and gives me spectacular ass. My shoes are something special, everyone who's seen them has wanted them, and I can't blame them, personally I couldn't resist getting the factpack. They're by Reign and exclusive at the Anybody event, which specializes in various applier clothing and is well worth a look if you have any sort of mesh body - but also features shoes and such too.  

Because I can't do dignified and classy, I've dressed it up with a tattoo from Aitui and padded antlers from Phunk. As for my makeup, these ultra-dramatic lips from Nox are amazing and break up the whole beige and gold and brown thing I had going on. The nails are some of SL's best value for Slink nail appliers, 25 high-quality polishes for only 25L, exclusive the the Marketplace, and they also can work with the Omega system, so they can work with other brands of body parts too!

There'll be no fur-in-SL controversy surrounding me (in this post, at least) because my fox stole uses the carcass of a pushie fox, and not a real furry. A relief to us all, I'm sure. 

I'm in love with this highwaist skirt from Sn@tch, which is part of an outfit that comes with a glittery sweater, but here I'm wearing it with Nylon Outfitter's Metallic Lace Top from the just-gone round of Collabor88. I kind of only got there at the last minute, oops. Glad I did, though. This top does actually come with an undershirt on the system layer but I prefer to be skanky daring and flash my nips through it.
Something else you can hurry to get are my supercool shoes, by Lassitude&Ennui at the beloved Geeks n Nerds Fair, which ends on December 10th. You'll be able to get them at the mainstore, but pretend there's a rush and get them now, it's fun, quick, go go.
