CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

I imagine that one of Santa's Elves would wear an outfit like this one to sneak into the city incognito for some last-minute Christmas shopping. No way am I going to blend in, but at least I didn't wear the pointy shoes.

BUNDLING UP AT HOME

I just moved into this new home on a snowy hilltop and I. ADORE. IT. This new wood-and-stone beauty by Trompe Loeil is all beauty and practicality. These days you can find small properties with higher prim counts, so I love that my new home has three levels to take advantage of the vertical space, but still feels comfortably roomy.


I'm not close to finished decorating, but just starting to make myself at home with sweet treats and holiday decorations, a mix of old and new. Hmm. Now where did I put that big rug?

Love,
Serene

GINGERBREAD LADY

I kind of missed last Christmas. Last year a little before Christmas my Dad passed away and months just went by hazy. After all this time I'm trying to get back to enjoying some of the things I used to. So here I am playing around with my old toys. 



Back to dressing up this virtual doll occasionally. Digging into my closet I found some things that I picked up last year before Christmas that I never got around to blogging, like this apron and boots.

GAIA

Forgive me if these lovelies aren't the newest releases, but they are still very recent. The Gaia Necklace by Aisling is really stunning though I am hiding some of it under the cowl. There are beautiful golden leaves rising in the back, and several sections of the beads and jewels are texture change so you can make them go with different outfits. Wow. I'm also really loving the sheer over-sleeves on this dress from the Muses!!

BOSTON

Aw look at that face!! No silly, not my face. The puppeh! Birdy has been making so many adorable pets lately that I can't resist. This one has been at the Men's Department a while, so make sure you pick him up. He comes with a HUD that lets you change the color of his little hoodie.



You know the good girls like a naughty dog. :D  He's not exactly one of those dogs that can be trained to ride around in your purse, but on the whole he behaves well.
