What's in a number? - Girls

So girls, what's your number?  I hope it 22769!  They have some fabulous designs out at the moment.

This complete outfit can be worn multiple ways.  Jump and button up shirt or seperates.  The prims are also inter-changeable with shirt and jumper only or shirt and jumper combined.  Mix it up!

I LOVE the simplicity and femininity of this little jacket.

Poncho Heaven!  Teamed up with my new ear muffs from Boom - aren't they just adorable?!

.( bewilderbeest ). is closing it's doors

Out having a wander tonight I came across this cute little seaside shopping complex with a few stores scattered along the boardwalk.  One store in particular was .( bewildebeest ).  Sadly they are closing their doors on January 16th.  But good news for all your jewellery lovers out there - they have MASSIVE reductions all ALL stock.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this head dress.  Best part is it comes in a major fatpack of black chains, gold chains and silver chains and about 10 different gem choices.  For $L10 you can't go wrong!

The minute little prims on this set would have sent me crazy trying to place neatly - but attention to detail was paramount here.  Each earring has 8 mini gems inlaid into the silver block, as does the necklace and ring (not shown) and his was a Gatcha item so only $L1 ...... :O   GASP!

I love these little mini fan pieces.  With the heat wave Australia is going through right now - I could sure use some extra fans.  This set in particular is in a nice neutral tone so will go well with lots of items of clothing.  Again a Gatcha item but there are other colours.  Come try your luck!

What is DSN?

Upon going through my mountains of folders and finding that I 'had nothing to wear' today I decided it was time to sort my 'DSN' folder. I was talking with Bill at the time, him being newly introduced to the SL world had no idea what I was talking about. It was then during one of my outfit changes that, my RL housemate/SL Sister, Ember walked past my computer saying "Oooo cute, where did you grab that from"?. When I said it was a DSN gifty, she too looked at me like I had a third eye protruding from my brow. So it seems that it's not only just the 'noobs' that have no idea what DSN is.

DSN - Designer Showcase Network - is a group of designers that offer select items from their store as free gifts to anyone registered in their category with a DSN Kiosk. I checked this afternoon and there were currently 362 Designers registered as offering gifts to subscribers.

The process is all quite simple. You locate a kiosk (there's one here in one of my favourite boutiques) and click the sign. A pop up box appears on your screen and you select which group/s you would like to be registered in. You can select one or all. The choice is yours. Then sit back and wait for the designers to release new items into their DSN vendors, you then get said item delivered to you. If at any time you decide you don't want to receive the free gifts (like who would want to give up freebies, huh) all you do is locate a kiosk, touch it and remove your choices. Simple as that.

The categories to choose from are:

1) Full Avatars

2) Vehicles, Weapons & Gadgets

3) Skins & Hair

4) Animations & Poses

5) Jewellery & Accessories

6) Female Fashion

7) Male Fashion

8) Home Decor

9) Business, Services & Tools

The fact that the two closest people to me SL at the moment, one being fairly new and one being over 3 years SL old, had not heard of DSN spurred me on to take a few happy snaps of recent items I have received via my Female Fashion subscription and spread the word to you all.

I very rarely shop on Xstreet. I'm more of a wander around SL and cruise the shops, get out and about type of shopper. But when I hear there is a sale on Xstreet, I am the first one there with my coin purse full.

Janie Marlowe, Owner of MISCHIEF (also branded as **Mis**) is having a sale exclusive to Xstreet. Her entire collection is for sale for only $30L each. That includes the fat packs. Every item ONLY $30L.

There are over 50 pages of products - 100's of items to choose from so there is bound to be something for every taste. I perused each and every item let me tell you. And I had trouble narrowing down my purchases to my budget. So just to give you a sneak peak as to what sort of things you can find in her listings, I have pictured my purchases below. Each pic has style credits below it rather than at the end of the post.

I hope you all find something you like. The sale is not on for much longer. (There is no end date given all I know is her group advertised sale for 'limited time') so hurry and grab a bargain while you can. And my apologies for my piccies. I am on the craptop at the moment so what looks great graphics on this looks likes a dogs breakfast to others. But I'm sure you'll be able to appreciate the outfits all the same. And one other thing. All my URL listings are on my desktop so I can't link to stores for accessories. But I will still put store names so you can search inworld.
