she's leaving home

She's leaving home. Not like in the song  from The Beatles ;). But just for a stroll in the snow. And there they are the first tulips of the year. In rl slowly spring is coming, but next week in the night again minus 4 Celcius. BRRRR. I am so much longing for a soft spring breeze, blue sky and springsun and springflowers. We have to be patient this year.

The good effect when a designer sends you an item because you are a blogger, is that you sometimes get something you wouldn't buy yourself, for example because of the color. Getting this dress from Swafette Firefly the designer from SF Design at first glance was not my taste. I first forgot to wear it with the jacket. Stupid me! It is a very elegant dress. So now i very much recommend the dress and jacket to you. The pumps come with the dress. It is the fashion for Life item. 100% of the proceeds of this dress goes to the American Cancer Society. Event starts tomorrow.
Nic entered finally The Arcade. And in fast time spend lots of money. Better not go there not good for your purse..;)

Later on back to work in her atelier. With the cute jacket from the total outfit..Cute isnt it!!!

rain will come soon

Three things  i want to inform you about.
First Muism has final closing sale. I can't believe that they will leave sl. Always such a pity when well-known shops with high quality stuff  close their virtual doors. But as my fellow blogger Blaisejoshua  says on his blog: they're having a store wide sale ( till september 19th)  so it's a chance to pick yourself up a few bargains (opportunism). And the best is to enjoy it then ( hedonism in terms of Blaise) in my opinion. Tomorrow tjip will go and grab what he likes. Now it is affordable. Before the sale they were a bit expensive. May be the reason that they didn't sell enough and close. Or is mesh the reason? I think shops close while the designers not want or can make the change to design in mesh. Should be interesting to know the reason Muism closes. And why for example doesn't Aoharu come with new designs? Also because of mesh? No they released mesh.
For this post i put on my pirateboots from Muism that i got some time ago on a sale at the Euphoria mall. I recolored them to match with the jacket. That brings us at the second info. The jacket and the leggings are free at JAVA Fashion designs. You can find it at the second floor. This years color is mustard. When i well understood the notecard, they do every year another color.
And then info three. The necklace and earrings of WTG. You need not be in the group to get these. Just go there with seven people and hit the mini mania. When the max is reached someone will get the present. Just wait a bit and there is a new round  with a new chance. Have luck.

And this one i added for the bag lover. Just got the bag from the gatcha machine at Arcade Gatcha event. The Arcade event is a widely anticipated event. It is a quarterly,  which will reoccur on September, December, March, and June. September being their first collection!  The event starts on the 15 and ends on the 15 of the following month, sooo October! There are over 70 brands participating, and each designer has at liberty the permissions & prices per gacha!
And ups this was info number four ;)

around the harbour

Nice place to dwell around in cosy new clothings. This harbour is so well-made. But ieeeek again creepy animals! Click on the last three pictures to enlarge and you can see them. Don't buy fish overthere. Nic walks around in her new shirt from Chronokit. She wears the mens size, because she wanted wear an oversized one. Every package has mens and womens shirts in three sizes. I love the details of the work of Kit Pizzicato, the designer. The long skirt is from u.f.o at the culture shock event. And again new shoes: the boots are a new groupgift from Hoorenbeek.

St. Patricks green

Today it is St. Patricks day. The Irish national day. According to some Irish writings, St. Patrick died on March 17, 461 A.D. The anniversary of his death is celebrated as St. Patrick's Day. It's interesting to note that the shamrock clover flowers around that time of year. Saint Patrick had an adventurous life. He was captured by pirates at the age of 16. The Irish pirates brought him to Ireland to tend the flocks of a chieftain in Ulster. Six years of slavery made him a devoted Christian. He brought Christianity to Ireland and taught there for 29 years. He used the shamrock, a 3 leaf clover, (Ireland's national flower) to explain the Blessed Trinity. One of the most popular legends was how he charmed all the snakes of Ireland down to the seashore to be drowned by the water.

On the grid we see in this time many green clothings. Today i will show some St. Patrick green styled outfits. Tomorrow for the Luna Jubilee color challenge blog it will be St. Patricks blue. Never heard of it .. but it exists.

In the fabulous free group i read in chat about the clover necklace from marketplace. Also earrings and a mouth piece are included. The green clover boots are a Subscribe-o-matic gift from Gfield.

The flowery dress is groupgift from u.f.o. You can find it in the cupboard near the lucky boards. The white dress is a groupgift from ASO. Join the group and go to info and notices it is the last present there.

in the mountains

Nic made a trip in the mountains. She booked in a nice shabby shic greenhouse to stay the night. The sweater she found on the market nearby. When you want it, you need search a small bearhead at marketstall from *bbqq* at the League of Christmas. And she bought there her winter pompon just for 50ld. The boots (SOM from Ninu) she already took with her in her suitcase as well as her bag (where is ..hunt) for her bottle of water. Although she weared her new winter gloves she needed to warm her hands at the fire. She did her hair in a sporty look

Love this total look in brown.
