My theming today has less to do with a random burst of national pride, and more about a fundraising event going on right now, Leaf on the Wind. Leaf on the Wind is held in the benefit of Scarlett Chandrayaan, the owner of one of my favourite furniture stores, Alouette, who in addition to being a really adorable and incredibly talented person, also has terminal cancer. Money raised from this event will go towards helping her realize a wish of hers to visit London.

The mix of stuff on offer puts me in mind of a real London souvenir shop, albeit with less stuff with photos of the Royal family on it. Depending on your opinion of the British monarchy, this is probably not a bad thing.

My cute vintagey wavy hair by Tableau Vivant is from the event, as are my wonderful romantic punk necklace and earrings by Lolapop, all safety pins and roses, which comes in four lovely colours. Behind me, a chalkboarded repurposed door by Frogstar. If you look at the map on there, one of 6 fun Brit-themed textures, you will see that my hand is encompassing the little corner of England I live in. Feel free to stalk me, using that information. (Please do not actually stalk me, thx)

My dress is a new mainstore release from Ducknipple, it is HUD controlled and has 12 different colours for the top, I particularly love the detail of the texturing on the skirt though. My sneakers are by Bubble, and are from one of their two machines at this round of Oh My Gacha! Not very visible but very lovely are the bracelets I'm wearing, by Noodles at FaMESHed this month. They each have a positive little slogan on them, in my case I have "Follow Your Heart", "Believe" and "Never Give Up" 

As an aside, I've taken frankenbodies to a new level with this post, in which I am wearing TWO mesh bodies at once. Maitreya's Lara for the nice soft legs, with the top half alpha'd out, and Slink Physique for my top half for better skin matching at the wrists and neck until Pink Fuel comes out with appliers for Maitreya. I just thought it was an interesting thing I could do now.

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'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.
