Hitomi’s Neighborhood

I could install a new SL - still in test - viewer recently and rendering has been much enhanced for skies and seas ! Just have a look by yourself.

I went for a highly recommended tool and will try the free version of it.

For the moment, I just had great fun with the emotes menu :))))

My favorite is this one

I completed the mini house furniture by a colorful armchair and sofa. They are available at the workshop.

To get along with them, I also "crocheted" cushions. Yes, the texture comes from something I had crocheted in real life :) They are so cute and almost look like "macaron" cakes, yummy ! I love them.

There's now an update group to be informed of new products if you like those. Just look for "Kurimco updates" in the group search. The little pink crocheted cushion is a group gift and will be in the notices archives for one month only.

Last but not least, not so far from the workshop, you'll find a beach rug that I also made.

Those items are available for the moment at my workshop on Kurimco Island. Please don't expect perfection (they are priced correspondingly) and give me feed back so that I can enhance them. You'll find dollarbies to thank you for your visit :)

To Hitomi's demand, here's my new haircut :)

I was asked how much I spend on SL clothing... well to say the truth, not much even if I tend to buy a few hairstyles or shoes. For the rest, it's possible to live on quality freebies or nearly, just buying a good piece from time to time.

To do so, I subscribe to the groups of the shops I really like and get rewarded for it. For example, I've got a great free "carton" from BP* subscribe group recently... OK, it's not clothing but that's to illustrate the way it works :)

I'm a big fan of BP* products, maybe as much as those of Sugar Cube (thanks Yuuki for this new hairstyle I'm wearing now)... Just to quote two of the groups I've subscribed to.

For example, today's outfit:
- gloves: free from inventory library
- Bambi tights: free from DP Yum Yum (seen on Free*Style) and a real piece of cutery
- skirt and shirt: free from RAC (seen on Free*Style)
- disco sweater and scarf: 1L from Relika

- short Bambi socks:DP Yum Yum (seen on Free*Style)
- Cowrie hair clip: free but I don't remember from where... My fav hair thing :)
- love letter post: 100L from BP*
- black ballet flats: not free from SurfCo (seen on Sugar Cube)

And to match with the love letters and start my Valentine freebie collection:
- love letter necklace: free from Coquette (seen on Free*Style)
- pink tartan panties and bra from Lapointe
- skin: based on Another Shop free open source Lf0 skin and sold 50L for Unicef. Check all the donated skins here and you can get yourself a few ones there.

And last but not least my eyes are (were?) also freebies, from Callie Cline group (seen on FreeStyle) and my shape cost me 1L$ too (Eve by Style Your Destiny, seen on Fabfree)...

So well, not many Lindens but stylish enough... Free but not cheap.

Writing this article I realize how much work it is for these ladies of Free*Style and Fabfree to grab and write articles that save me so much energy... Thank you veryyyy much girls !!!

I wanted to start my Xmas shopping in SL too... finding gifts means finding transferable items...

So I started at Pochette where I had found transferables already... great, they now have a men department on the 2nd floor:) Don't forget your free unisex socks, they are also transferable :)

Then I went to Cotton Candy, a smart mall... At my favorite shop, Sugar Cube, they released the ribbon wood sandals in red as transferable, together with rings in a lovely box. Yuuki, you rock :)
The shop next door, BP*, is a good one according to my tastes... They also have a Xmas transferable dufflecoat, available for men and women. If you want it, you'll have to head to their Osaka shop... I wear one IRL, this caught my attention:)

Here's a good place to go on Sundays...
