Hiya everyone! The Kiyomizu Autumn 2015 Hunt is still going strong and making me smile, so I invite you to have a look at some more of their lovely prizes with me tonight...
First we have a very pretty pants suit from *Ran* as prize #23 in the hunt. The color is fantastic, like a bright plum, and the crossed straps in the back are as eye catching as those cutouts at the midriff. Color me happy!
I had quite a giggle with this one, our prize #51 from White Shell. The top and jeans are separate mesh pieces and both only in size XS, and as you can see that is a bit small even for my rather petite avi. The neckline gave me some alpha issues, and the jeans seem to have erased any semblance of hips or butt. I kept gawking at my (lack of) hips and thinking I need to eat a cheeseburger, or maybe an entire cheesecake. In a world where we can be any size we want with a touch of a slider or two, my joking is not meant to belittle anyone's choices (or any RL issues, this is all about SL) but to point out that for me, this was enough of a change to be surprising and amusing. I quite like the style and design of these, and they're something I'd gladly wear in RL as well as SL.
How lovely is this seasonal treat? Shiorin's Mart, branded as =CS=, has gifted us with this beautiful Mesh China Dress called MOMIJI Sunset as prize #11 in the hunt. The sprinkling of fall leaves along with the gold design that makes me think of autumn breezes, they are just gorgeous touches on a fantastic style of dress. The slits on both sides give the dress some modern sex appeal.
Hello, Kitty! :) This is actually two prizes (both from Karin) that combine perfectly into what you see above. Our outfit is found in cat #54 in their store at the Kiyomizu Mall's new location, and includes the top and skirt-fronted shorts (skort?) in standard mesh sizes along with a HUD for two designs each. There is also a pair of system layer socks that I am wearing as well (SO worth slipping out of the Slink feet for this!) with adorable cat faces/ears up top in the front, and even tails in the back. I recently saw a RL version of these in a catalog and squeed =^o.o^= The shoes are found at their main store, Ballerina shoes that are in cat #12 and match the outfit's cat face image. They are for default avatar feet. So ideal for this hunt, and just fantastic gifts in general!
Nail note of the night: I had been looking through my collection of Hello Dave group gifts and wound up choosing another one of those to show off, this time the New Season Berry which has 5 delicious colors with a shimmery effect so the solid colors aren't exactly plain, just without a pattern. There is a new group gift waiting for me when I log in later, so I'm eager to see it.
Many wishes for a wonderful day/evening to all of you, and magical magpie hugs to you!!

Hiya everyone! I have more fantastic goodies to show you from the Kiyomizu Summer Hunt, and I remembered a really beautiful place to use as a backdrop...the Mieville Asian Gardens I stumbled across during another hunt (Silk Road). Let's get started!
First I posed by a lovely Japanese lantern, while wearing the beautiful prize from #74 Chika Labo. This is their flower dress in cyan, and comes in standard mesh sizes. The colors are great for summer, bright and perky.
This beautiful bridge made a fun backdrop for the prize from SMC, also known as Sencha-An, #55 in the hunt. They are known for their lucky boards in the Kiyomizu shopping center, great mesh clothing and Slink shoes, so they're a pleasure to visit. This dress is a long linen dress, subtle and elegant. I'm also wearing the earrings from #63 Rika Shop, the delicate Saturn earrings you can see a closer view in the upper left. They even rotate slowly, which I love, but you can click them to turn that off if you prefer.
I really needed to show you a closeup of the sunglasses I'm wearing here but couldn't fit it into the photo (as an inset like I did with the earrings above) without missing out on some of the beautiful background, so I went with a separate photo. In the first photo, you can see the front and back of the prize from Cute or Die! #17 in the hunt. I'm so taken with the style, and the utterly adorable bow with ribbons cascading down to the hem in the back! The dress comes in a wide range of sizes, the usual standard mesh ones plus an Av2.0 size and a KEMONO size. Now the sunglasses, I think they added an extra sassy touch to an already sassy dress :) They are the prize from #32 Water Voice, and are called hand sunglasses. As you can see, they are holding a lantern, and the colors in there do swirl and change ever so slightly. The hand is only on the left side of the glasses.
Here's an intriguing outfit, as it comes with a HUD with more abilities than I'm used to seeing. Prize #25 from SHOP KERO includes the top, skirt, and pants (each in standard sizes) to mix and match as you like, and the HUD offers 6 different textures with these cute paw prints in various shades and backgrounds. The added bonus, there are a circle and a square that each have arrows left and right, and one is for the texture scale (I made it bigger in the second image) and rotation of the texture. Play around with them and have fun!!! :)
Finally we finish the post with a lovely kimono from White Shell, who is #28 in the hunt. The pattern on it is beautiful, and I found a terrific building to duck in and take a photo from the doorway. It's a perfect place to take such an elegant photo. The kimono comes in XS and S sizes, and includes undergarment layers and a pair of zouri (sandals) not shown.
Nail note of the night: I couldn't resist going with the lucky board prize from *pulcino*, which I've blogged before but it is located at the Kiyomizu Mall so you can easily stop in when you start your hunting there, and see if it's your lucky day!
Today was quite a day, we got hit with some horribly intense thunderstorms along with a very rare tornado sighting in my county. All is well though, no injuries reported, and I'm grateful for that. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some more treasures from the Kiyomizu Hunt to show you, as I've been enjoying it immensely and am really grateful for all the treasures I've found in those cute ninja cats.
This rockabilly style dress from Spiral, #75 in the hunt, is a perfect way to welcome spring if you like floral prints but prefer the print to be an accent rather than the whole dress. It seems like a great way to take a bold print and make it feel more subtle.
So soft and delicate! This is from a store called 10*4, and they are #65 in the hunt. The flowers and lace are a sweet complement to each other.
I am so very excited to show you this one! You may remember that in my first post of Kiyomizu hunt gifts, I showed a beautiful kimono from White Shell. Well this is their prize from their mainstore which is #58, and it's the same gorgeous pattern in a ruffled strapless mini dress! The kimono had included matching sandals, but for this dress they have included that gorgeous necklace I'm wearing in the photo. You can definitely tell that I love this one and am going to be visiting this store again and again :)
For another strapless dress that's a much less bold pattern, we have the dainty design on this flirty dress from Leaf. They are #74 in the hunt. I can picture this as a good choice for a date night.
I had 3 pictures for this tank top but when I went to edit my photos (cropping and adding my name only, I don't touch them up at all) the ivory one seems to have vanished, hehe, but you do get to see these two which are labeled part-ivory and pink. I see it as blue, but we don't want to start one of those controversies ;) Rather than a HUD, you get each color in each mesh size, so it's a very generous folder full from Toh-ryan-se #73.
My nails in each photo are from a great freebie I found on the marketplace, called (AB) Reila. You get several different colors for slink fingers and toes, either plain or with a white tip like a French manicure.
Well, I hope this week is being good to you, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read my blog. I'm still new to blogging but I am enjoying it, an outlet for creativity and a chance to help people find appealing bargains in SL. Hugs!!
