A few of my favorite things...

So this is my 110th post.. clearly I wasn't paying attention when I posted #100.. but anywayyy.. I thought I'd update my favorite things post. Things I can't live without. Things I love. Things I covet. <33 enjoy

Hair - I love hair.. tons of designers.. and my color is anything remotely 'ginger'. Clawtooth - Surfer Rosa - Strawberry Dream
Skin - I have so many favorites.. I'm a pale girl, and I love me some freckles.
Glam Affair - Luria -12
Make-Up - I am almost always in freckles, or eyeliner.. this is my newest favorite, a little company called Lovely Disarray!
Lovely Disarray - Liner Set 1 - To The Point
Top - Well.. any of you who know me, or have followed me, know that I almost always have something Kyoot on.. and this top is no exception. Her items are on MP for 55L now too!
Kyoot - Book Worm Top (Late Summer)
Shorts - Ok these have got to be my absolutely favorite shorts.. the mesh is perfection!
Ingenue - Hetty - Sage
Ring - I am in love with a few jewelry makers, MG being one.. and this is a LILY! I'm a LILY! How can I not wear it? :P
Maxi Gossamer - Tiger Lily Flower - Silver
Shews - Ok well.. this hasn't changed.. there are many shews I love.. many I covet.. but Slinks have always been my favorite.
Slink - Aveela Stiletto - White

Accessories & Furniture.. there are so many many companies I love. Equally for design, colors, innovation, utility and artistry. These are a but a tiny few that I have around my house right now!
Trompe Loeil - Club Chair Corduroy, Spotlight Lamp
Pilot - Vintage Nightstand
Lisp Bazaar - Charlotte Clock, Nerd Bookends
Scarlet Apple - My Wood Small Side Table, My Chevron Rug

"This is not the greatest song in the world.. no..

this is a TRIBUTE..." - Tenacious D

Back before I started this blog, and still do this day, I got a massive amount of encouragement from my very good friend, and at the time bosslady, Saeya Nyanda.
She is one of the most talented creators I know, one of the strongest, bravest and most of all, loving and kind people I've met. While Kyoot has been, and will continue to be a staple of my wardrobe, it's closing is bittersweet for me. It will live on in the marketplace, and maybe she will come back at some point and create again! I'm SO happy for Saeya, and all that she has accomplished in SL, and all that she is embarking on in her very near future. She will continue to be my 'pretty', an inspiration and my very dear friend. <3 you pretty!

These are just a few of my favorite more recent looks from Kyoot.
Be sure to head over to the final 50L clearance event, which ends in early Feb.
