Look No. 217: Keep Calm And Welcome Winter

What good is the warmth of summer,

Without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.

~ John Steinbeck ~

Hello again my lovelies!

There is a lot of truth in that quote if you sit and think about it. Personlly, I kind of had one of those "Ah-ha" moments when I read it.

So yes, yes, the Holidays are here and winter is quickly approaching. Not only is it an exciting and stressful time in our real lives but it's also exciting, and sometimes stressful, time in our second lives. There's so much to do now in SL. A number of sims have gone to their winter/holiday glory for all of us to venture through and enjoy. The big news of the holiday season is The Arcade! Everyone is talking or posting about it on Facebook; sharing what they plan on going broke on. Then there are the other shopping events like Color Me Project, Inspiration SL, Kinky Monthly and the Vogue Fair that are either already open or will be tomorrow. So lots and lots going on to keep you from thinking about winter's fast approaching arrival.

So, to help keep you warm while you're traveling around to the various events and checking out all the winter sims with your loved ones and/or special someone, I'm going to show you a new release by Blasphemic. Also, yesterday, I showed you a few poses that are part of PosESionN's exclusive at Inspiration SL.

This magnificent coat I'm wearing by Blasphemic is called Kate. Doesn't it make you feel all warm and cozy just looking at it? I know it's how it makes me feel.

It is 100 percent mesh and comes packed with 5 standard sizes. I am wearing this coat with my Belleza Freya mesh body so it should fit with most mesh bodies. I do highly recommend trying on the free demo prior to purchase to ensure a great fit.

There are six fabulous colors to choose from: black, blue, brown, gothico, gray and purple. Each can purchased separately; however, if you can't decided on one color, you can buy a fatpack containing all the colors.

Today, I am wearing an a set of beautiful eyes from Ikon's Vanity Eyes collection. The pretty purplish color I'm wearing is called Lavender.

The Vanity Eyes are an older collection so all it comes with is 5 iris sizes in the system eyes. There are no mesh eyes or fancy HUD like the other eyes I've been wearing but, as you can see, it's still a fantastic set of eyes to wear.

The Vanity Eyes are available in 44 amazing colors. There's also a free demo you can grab and take with you so you can see if they will work for you.

PosESioN is participating in Inspiration SL that opens tomorrow.  The theme for the December round is Selena Gomez so fittingly, PosESioN has called their exclusive, the Selena Set.

In yesterday's post I showed you 4 of the 10 poses in the set and in this post I'm showing you the other 6.

The Inspiration SL event runs through December 15th so if you like any of these poses, please be sure to go there within the next couple of weeks and try them for yourself.








Please be sure to check out Blasphemic, Ikon, and PosESioN inworld and/or on Marketplace. If you have space left in your groups, please do join their VIP groups to take advantage of group gifts and/or special group pricing when offered. It's also a great way to stay informed of new releases, special sales or events they may be participating in.

Until next time...happy shopping and happy holidays!
