KUROTSUBAKI

I was wandering around the Fashion Victim shopping sim the other day and stumbled into KUROTSUBAKI.

The first thing that caught my eye was an adorable shiny gray skirt and pants suit. The vendor featured many options of wearing the multiple layer to configure everything from overalls with a sweet folded flap to a pretty side buttoned skirt.

Another option for the pantsuit was just the pants with the softest sweater I’ve seen in all SL. There are tons of turtleneck sweaters that I’m loving this season…from /artiller/, Persona, AnnaH, Armidi, Maiterya…honestly the texturing of the chenille of this one is unreal (in a good way).

So I had to grab the sweaters. Available in two packs. One with black and navy…

And white/gray and purple…

At this point I was completely hooked and scanned the wall, screeching to a halt when I came across the beautiful knitted cardigans. I decided on the brown, detailed in knit and beautiful (did i mention that already?) sculpted sleeves accented with movement creating flexi prims.

A perfect milk chocolate color that was a snap to pull together.

Ode to Sculptie Hat

Sometimes I go on little shopping missions in SL. They become mini adventures, and I can’t describe the satisfaction I get by tracking down a coveted lil something all on my own. I spent most of my day yesterday trying to find this adorable sculpted knitted hat I spied atop the noggin of the stylish Menno Ophelia, because after slipping into the fun new Skully Knit sweater from /artilleri/ I knew I NEEEEEDED a ski hat to go with it.

Alas, I was unsuccessful and messaged Menno BEGGING for a hint…a nudge…any kind of direction to where I could put my covetous lil mitts on this uber cuteness. Today he replied, with LANDMARK, to Sculpties Up In Here by Tekilah Elytis home of the famed rainbow scripted Crisis Pumps. I shall spare you the details of my bliss as I snatched up the fatty pack of the Handknit Flap Hat in 12 COLORS for only $525L.

Totally a must have to keep my ears toasty this winter. Oh, and here’s the outfit that was incomplete for a day in the absense of the knitted pretty.

The skin I’m wearing is unbelievably a group freebie from Dutch Touch of the new Series2 skin. Sooooooooooo lovely. Join the Dutch Touch group and get yours too!
