A Dash o' Winter White & A Smudge o' Coal Black.

My friend and most versatile creator Ayumi Cassini has graciously dropped one of her most beautiful gifts yet on all you Style Academy fashionista readers: these lusciously fluffy, color-change, triple-feather earrings (choose between winter white or coal black for each feather) -- i.e., Ayumi displaying her usual mastery of exquisite details, including the tiny "spine" in each puffy feather -- an impeccably elegant creation that's now yours for $1L. *mwuahs Ayumi Cassini*
My bundled-up look today features more splashes of winter white fitting for the snowy climes ahead, including this dramatic free zebra coat by PurpleMoon Creations + some new 2-tone peeptoes by Mstyle. A smex Truth pony + 2 necklaces added some extra girlie to this serious black 'n white color palette.
In other news, I've fallen in luhs with a few free holiday finds that I thought were 'specially cute. Check out this free "ornaments mobile" silver wireframe tree (the li'l candy canes + gingerbread men actually twirl around!) How cozy to watch while cuddling up to this free flickering fireplace, decked out with pine cone candle stands, a Noel sign + a framed rabbit picture adorned with mistletoe too (I placed the picture in another part of our house).
This gorge free fruit potted plant is only 2 prims; it's yet another gift at the same place you can grab the ornaments tree. This is a great touch of color at a cheap prim cost; I tucked these little potted trees into the brick corners of our home.
Finally, I just wanted to say a very heartfelt thank-you to Ayumi Cassini + our devoted Style Academy readers for helping us grow our li'l fashionista + photography-centric feed so quickly this year. It's been deeply inspiring to me personally to see everyone's continued pursuit of excellence in their photography and styling, and you've certainly tickled our socks off with your generosity and superkind words of support! We hope to continue trying to bring you little gifts like these as a very small thanks for supporting our li'l labor of blogging love :O)

Style Academy love + fashionista kisses to all!

xoxo
