#42 New Year, New You?

 

Hi Lovelies ⛄

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  Here we are, finally into 2026!  January is definitely a month to hibernate for me.  Wayyyyy too cold outside (currently -5 as I write this).  I plan to visit a few snowy, winter regions this month as I ease my way slowly into this New Year ahead (and before the creating commitments become hectic once more as Valentine's comes around next month).

Cheeky Monkey Hunts are starting the year with a jam packed line up of amazing Prizes and Exclusives in their 'Baby It's Cold Outside 5' Grid Wide Hunt throughout January.  Today I want to focus on a very talented Dinkie Creator, Llola Lane, who I affectionally call Dinkie Monkey, such is her passion to create and also to attract other like minded Designers to the Hunts.  She is an absolute godsend!  So with that...

What I Am Wearing:

Llola puts a lot of love and pride into her designs, making them as unique as she can with her own design patterns.  She also includes some wonderful accessories with her outfits which I feel really make her stand out from the crowd.  

This month Llola has created this beautiful Snowflake BOM Outfit.  Do notice the attention to detail with the little added snowflakes on the waist and also side of the Boots.  The outfit and boots are EXCLUSIVE to the Hunt this month, there is also some Ear Muffs included, but my preference on this occasion was very much like me in RL, a bobble hat.  I live in bobble hats in the winter.  Head on over to Llola's Dinkiewear shoppe and there is also an additional 1L knit sweater available too.

In my right paw I also have one of Llola's Full Perm creations, a Snowflake Plushie!  What a super cute accessory to finish the look!  You can find this as well as Llola's many other Full Perm goodies at her Full Perm Store. 

#41 Love To Decorate Holly and Frost Faire

 

Hi Lovelies ❆

Today I managed to encourage Hubby to join me (reluctantly) for a little Christmas shopping trip to Love To Decorate Holly and Frost Faire.  This region also hosts the Enchantment Events across the year which are always stunningly decorated so I knew I was in for a treat.  The Faire is open until 5th January so may be somewhere to pop and shop during the holidays.  You can expect to find top end designers here like Nutmeg, Oh Deer, Dahlia and more with some very affordable festive decor, 50L specials and free gifts too!  Definitely worth checking out.

What I Am Wearing:

Ari-Pari has creating a beautiful reindeer knit dress with 10 festive colors included on a HUD, ideal for mix and matching with your partner or friends.  Fitting Ebody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya and I am wearing it on Lara X.  You can grab this beauty for an incredible 1L until the end of December as part of the 'CMH Candy Cane Wishes 5' Hunt'.  I have paired it with my winter staple, KC Couture Unisex Short Ugg Boots.  With 50 Color options for the Boots, Trim, Inside and Sole, you can easily co-ordinate with any winter style.

Hubby is wearing a super cozy knit 'Up To Snow Good' Sweater with attached shirt from Cloud Nine with a beautiful, bold snowman design.  The sweater fits Gianni, Geralt, Legacy, Aesthetic and is worn here on Belleza Jake.  You can grab this stunning knit for just 1L as part of the CMH All Male Winter 4 Hunt until the end of December.  He has paired the sweater with some Caligula Sharpman Chino Pants which are Hudded with 21 Colors, coming with and without tucked shirt options.  Fitting Classic, Slink, Legacy, Gamit, Gianni and Jake, this was a steal at just 99L!  Finishing the look with one of my own creations, Ben Loafers from Starlight Apparel.  Hudded with 10 Colors, 10 Striped Colors and 4 Sole Colors these really are flexible for all seasons and will fit Slink, Gianni, Legacy and Jake.

#40 Yesh, I'm a Mesh!... But Shopping Helps!

 

Hi Lovelies ❆

It's the most wonderful time of the year... to spend lindens!  December always has such a wonderful selection of Christmas Markets, Events, Hunts and more as well as the Linden's own Event, Christmas Shop and Hop!  I want to bring you today over to The Christmas Event which is a Home and Decor Event.  There are so many wonderful designers taking part here, all coming together to inspire your own decorating for Christmastime, right down to a huge Christmas Tree plot where you may just find the right tree for you!  Most stores are taking part in a Hunt with prizes ranging between 0-20L, just look for the Christmas Stockings as well as gift boxes with free Festive goodies.  The Christmas Event also has 'Waffleville', a magical Christmas area for Dinkies!  There is a wide selection in stores ranging from outfits and decor to full perm items.  Do come take a peek!

What I Am Wearing:

Gramma's Shoppe has delighted me across the year with some wonderful outfits, several I have featured in earlier blog posts.  I LOVE this sleepy sassy cat on the front of this tee and the slogan is just perfect!  Patty comes up with some wonderful themed Dinkie Outfits and Tees at her Inworld Store that are all at super affordable prices.  "Yesh, I Am Mesh" comes as a layered top and separate pants and I urge you to grab this!  During December it is just 1L as part of the CMH Dinkie Winter Hunt and Sale.  Enjoy!
