Hiya everyone! The calendar finally shows that autumn is here, but my RL weather is not quite convinced so the Wash Cart Sale's theme of Indian Summer is suiting me quite well. We have reached the halfway point of this round, so you have one week left to take advantage of some amazing sale prices on top quality merchandise. Another seasonal event I always enjoy is the Kiyomizu Hunt, which is in their Autumn 2016 round. You are looking for cute ninja kitties, some of which are hidden remarkably well, like inside other things or shrunk smaller than I'd realized was even possible. Still, I enjoy the challenge and always find plenty of terrific free prizes of all sorts.
I started out with some cart sale finds, like these cheery t-shirts from Park Place Home, who are also branching into casual clothing. On the left I'm wearing their Women's V-Neck Tee - Be Happy (which reads Think I'll just be happy today), and on the right is A Good Day V-Neck Tee For Her (Today is a good day for a good day). There are other designs on their cart too, just $10L each as these are, and they each include standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version. The cart direct link is in the credits, and you can visit their main store here. I found a perfect match for these shirts among the lovely sandals from the Roped Passions cart, the (RP) Nani Sandals in Pink. They are included in Slink and Maitreya versions, and there are a total of 5 colors to choose from at the cart along with some selections for the guys. These sandals appeal to my inner hippie/Boho style, which probably contributed to the positive messages of the shirts making me so happy as well :) You can find the Roped Passions mainstore here, and the direct link for the cart is in the credits at the end as usual.
More good reasons to visit the cart sale can be seen here, let's start with the sexy NSP Pacific Shores Gown. This is their version #2 (there are others to choose from on their cart as well) and comes in 9 fitmesh sizes, including Maitreya, Belleza, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. You can find the NSP mainstore here, and the cart's direct link in the credits below. I expect that you noticed the dazzling furniture in the photo, well good news - you can find those pieces at the cart sale too. Lacrime dell'anima is offering several components of their Kashvi line, including the Ottoman in Red and Blue (also a Blue and Red version with the color placement reversed) and the Side Table & Decor you see here, just $10L each. The ottoman has a land impact of 3, and has 4 poses each for male, female, unisex, and extras. The side table has the lamp and bowl attached, a land impact of 6, and the lamp light goes on and off with a click. You can find the link for the Lacrime dell'anima mainstore here, and the credits will bring you to the cart directly.
Over to the Kiyomizu hunt, this stunning dress is our prize from #25 [satus Inc]. Their striking Folded One Shoulder Dress Black is provided in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. I enjoyed pairing it with another prize, #27 courtesy of [Future Popp]. This pretty Kawaii Choker has a delicate heart held in place by pale pink leather.
The autumn theme of the hunt lends itself well to Halloween styles, and Shiorin's Mart is offering a prize that goes right along with that idea so well. Prize #33 is their =CS= Mesh Ladies Tennis Dress Halloween and is included in 4 mesh sizes (XXS, XS, S, and M) along with the alpha, and just look at the vivid colors, cute pumpkins, and haunted house silhouette! I am very pleased to have found this one.
One more look for the evening, this is another hunt prize that I think fits the Halloween feeling I just mentioned. This is from Sugarplum, #34 in the hunt path, and it is their Mesh Maid Outfit in standard sizes. It even includes a system layer white bra and panties, and the alpha layer is in there too. The cute ribbon choker you see is a built in part of the dress, as is the apron. You could use this as a costume for a maid or a waitress, or simply wear it any day for fun.
I hope you are all having a terrific day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Yes, I have some more Kiyomizu Autumn 2015 Hunt prizes to share, some wonderful treasures that deserve to be seen. This seasonal hunt is continuing its tradition by offering these gifts from their new mall location along with several main stores of the designers, and I am thrilled to be able to not only find these great prizes but help spread the word about the new home of the mall.
I love this outfit, so a huge thank you to M*Motion for offering us this adorable halter dress with attached bolero as prize #3 in the hunt. If you look closely you'll notice that is sheet music as the delicate pattern on the dress, which is a plus since it adds a reminder of another type of beauty. Since I don't read music, I can just pretend it's my favorite song of the moment :)
Plenty of goodies to see here, we have the one size fits all Halloween t-shirt from Amikko which is prize #26, just find that ninja cat and give him a little tickle (click) and you can enjoy this flowing mesh shirt too. I accessorized with the treats from cat #58 from Peekaboo, the Halloween necklace and earrings. I was glad to share a closer view of each so you can see the details, including their store name and the words Happy Halloween on the necklace. The texture of the pumpkin on the earrings actually swirls around a bit, black and orange, very cute!
For a bright and alluring top, don't miss prize #27 from Kai. I am loving their cross straps and funky pattern. I enjoyed the chance to accessorize again, this time with earrings from Crystal Dream and bracelets from DAMIANII. The earrings are #34 in the hunt, and feature sweet mini pumpkins peeking at us. The bracelets actually come in 3 colors but I am showing 2, the dark red and the black stone (which I moved to my left wrist as they all defaulted to right wrist and all atop each other so not separately visible) that you can see a closer view of the neat texture in the top inset, also includes a purple not shown. Those are prize #40 and not to be missed! In case you're wondering about my jeans for the past 2 pictures, they are a marketplace freebie you will find the info in the credits :)
Finally, if you need to get dressed up but can't decide on a color to wear, how about a dress that comes with a HUD featuring 10 different lovely hues? That's exactly what we get from the cat hidden in #53 Sugarplum, which comes in standard mesh sizes along with alpha layer and a system layer bra and underpants set for modesty. Being in an accessorizing mood by then, I was pleased to add a very sweet pair of earrings from *LAT.43N* simply called Ribbon Pearl Earrings, neutral enough to match all the colors of the dress and then some. This is prize #56 (2 of 2) because there are 2 cats hiding at their location; the other has another pretty pair of earrings for all of us.
Nail note of the night: I did pick up the newest Hello Dave group gift called In Disguise, and it's a really fun HUD with 6 different mustaches on a silvery background so you can mix and match your nails' hairy little disguises :) I freely admit that they made me giggle, and this is the kind of week where I need all the extra smiles I can get so huge thanks to Maia Gasparini who is our Hello Dave designer.
Well it's credits time and I'm running late, so I am dashing through with hugs and magpie magic for each of you, with hopes for a great day/evening!!

Hiya everyone! I know I mentioned at least a month ago when I first heard that Little Cat Resort, home of Kiyomizu Mall along with countless other stores on several sims, was closing down. The exciting news is that not only has the mall relocated, but they are hosting their seasonal hunt again for Autumn! :) It started just two days ago, and there are over 60 stores participating (yay!) so plenty of adorable ninja cats to find :) To start, you can head over to the new sim and click one of the floaty ghosts that does not have a sign in his hands (outside the store **milky-way has one for sure) and you can get a list of SLURLs plus it tells you which ones you've found so far. My advice, pick up the ones in the mall first and then worry about TPing around elsewhere. Meanwhile let's see what I've found, shall we?
First we have this adorable outfit from **milky-way, whose new main store is right here at the mall. This is in cat #5 and is a one piece mesh hoodie and gathered skirt, looks cute and casual both coming and going. I really like the colors, bright but tempered by the creamy background of the hoodie.
How amazing is this dress from *MIYABI*? Prize #43 (1 of 2) is this beautiful deep green dress with lacy overskirt that becomes almost a train in the back. The bow is separate so if you're not a fan of bows then you can easily leave it off. The second cat hidden in this store contains matching shoes for default avatar feet, not shown. I was pleased to find the delicate Star Pierce earrings in the cat at Sugarplum, #15 in our hunt, to add a glow of bright gold to my ears and accessorize things perfectly.
This dress has the cutest style, with the Peter Pan collar and dark lace design on the collar and skirt. It is actually prize #1 in the hunt, from Hapi*Rabi, and is named Aimee. It is one of many prizes that made me smile.
The last prize I'm sharing with you this evening is this stunning MIKI China Dress from *pulcino*. It is in cat #7 and includes a HUD with 5 vibrant colors, 3 of which I am showing above. I am such a fan of jewel tones, and the gold trim looks terrific with all the colors. The slits on each side of the skirt (you can see one on the right) add such a sexy touch too, and I am all about the details.
Nail note of the night: I went with a different Hello Dave group gift so you can see a lovely previous group gift of theirs, still available at the main store. This is called Easy Breezy, and offers 5 different jellylike sheer colors. Gorgeous!
Well, it's time for the credits, but I hope you're all having a good day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I have some more finds from the Kiyomizu Spring Hunt to show you, and it's really exciting to visit the main stores of so many of these designers as well as seeing the sampling of their work at the mall. Finding the ninja cats is fun, tricky without hints but well worth the effort. The clever ways people find to hide them is so amusing, peeking down at you from a doorway or poking their heads out through a table, sometimes they really make me giggle :)
By now you've probably noticed how much I like florals and ruffles, so you can guess I'm adoring the gift from Sweet Strawberry (#12 in the hunt). It's so flirty and feminine. this will definitely be a go-to piece of my wardrobe.
My first thought when I tried this on was CUTE, and my immediate second thought was about the spring colors. This adorable outfit from #25, **milky-way**, is a one piece mesh outfit in several sizes, and I admit the one piece nature makes it so much easier because I've had trouble before with a separate mesh skirt and shirt not fitting together so well.
This one kinda made me giggle, it's from Shiorin's Mart and is a mesh desert camouflage bathing suit. I'd expect you'd get more use from it sunbathing than swimming in a desert. I like the style, nice coverage and a very classic bathing suit silhouette.
This beauty is from #26, Crystal Dream, and I think it would be perfect for any formal event. The 3D ruffles on the skirt are part of the mesh gown itself, not a separate layer or anything, and I think they add a special touch.
This elegant mesh gown by #35 Sugarplum really caught my eye, from the contrasting flower to the graceful lines, and that belt is just a fantastic touch. The seams in the satin are so well textured that I feel like I could touch the screen and feel that seam, it's the little details like that which always seem to catch my attention :) Did I mention how amazing the color is?
As you can all tell, I'm truly enjoying the generous hunt prizes from Kiyomizu, and there are plenty more for me to show you, so please stay tuned! Meanwhile, shake off those Monday blues (you survived it!) and do something to make someone smile if you can. Spread some joy, it will come back tenfold to you. Magpie hugs!
