Well, I promised to blog today, because I have another day off, and I've been slacking off all day watching the Emerald Viewer Scandal unfold before my eyes, so I'm sorry that it took me so long to blog! I'm up late doing it juuuust for you guys! See how much I love you?
So, today, all the clothing featured comes from a store I stumbled upon one day; Lika Ruby. I was visiting Mikan for their hair, and Lika Ruby is the immediate neighbor of Mikan in Korombei-- I had never come across it before, and it's a delight! Totally worth visiting. Named after it's creator, everything at Lika Ruby has a slight asian flavor; reminiscent of China. The best thing is that there are a ton of freebies! So, first up is the Kunfu I picked up at the Creator's Pavillion store -- there is also a version for guys, so check it out! The rest of the stuff is at their main store. Interestingly, it kinda co-incided with me picking up the gorgeous Amaterasu skin that Pink Fuel has released exclusively for The Circle Project -- I love this skin so much that I even bought it in cocoa-- usually I only buy light tones for Dunneh, but it looked so awesome in dark tones that I just had to have it! And again, by co-incidence, the hair I picked up at Mikan totally suited. It's kinda funny how outfits just fall together sometimes. Anyway enough of my babbling, onto the pics and slurls!

Next up, I hae more hair and tons of free/cheapie skins I managed to nab, as well as three really cute Qi Pao's from Lika Ruby-- be aware, all of them come with a choice of skirt length, mini or knee length. The diamond pattern one includes a shirt. Now the hair: I came across a store called D!va yesterday that I had never heard of and when I visited the mainstore today, I met the owner. She is super, super nice! Ahh! She is so sweet, I can't get over it. She set me up with lots of hair which I will be blogging next time-- right now I'm only blogging the one I had picked up yesterday as I had taken the pics for this entry before meeting her. But look out for the other hairs next entry! After that, I hit the luckyboard at Mikan and Kik-- again, it's kinda funny how the things I pick up just seem to suit what I'm going to wear. Lastly, don't forget to pick up the adorable skin that !Imabee has out at the Circle Project for only $50L! Bargain! It's totally worth getting, not only is it amazing, the owner, Brendan Papp, is nice and funny. Lastly, don't forget to pick up Romi Skin's new group gift-- it's free for members or you can wait for a luckyboard. The group has a join fee. Lastly, and importantly, I am offering closeups on my flickr for all the skins I featured (except I forgot to do the Mother Goose one)!

Yes, really. This isn't to say I won't blog certain things that have been picked up in a hunt, or at a fair or at FLF, -- after all I try to blog things I like and have recently picked up so that you all have a chance to get them too-- but the common items won't be the focus of my entry. I'm still going to do hunts, go to fairs, and check out weekly discounts-- and I will still wear what I like from them, but the items won't be the main feature of my entry, just an addenum or a reminder to pick up the item. I'll always try to feature something you haven't seen at least a dozen times before. I can't promise anything, but I will try my hardest. My reasoning for this is that there are enough bloggers covering big sales, (like TRUTH's for example), and big hunts (such as the Platinum Hunt) as well as big events like Shoe Fair and Hair Fair. Do you really want to see the same item reblogged a thousand million times, in a hundred different ways? And even if you do, do you really want to come to MY crappy blog to see the same hair you've already seen on SL's Fashion Feed? I didn't think so. So, I'm going to go back to basics and find sales and freebies and bargains the old fashioned way-- exploring. Likewise, all the things I blog, I will have found on my own (unless specified otherwise; I will credit if my source is another blog). At least this way you can come to NAF and see something new, hopefully! I mean, there's always a chance someone gets to it before me, we may have discovered the store at a similar time, or it may be an old item I've missed-- after all I've been MIA a year and I really don't check FF and FS every day. So please forgive me if this happens. I'm trying not to do that, and you have my word that I'm actually going out there and finding these places myself though. Lastly, my twitter will still mention stores (any stores, big small, etc) that are having sales so you can check them out-- so please continue to give me tips regarding sales, events and fairs, and I will put them up.
