Xen's Pen
Fashionable ramblings from Xenobia Foxclaw's virtual pen.

Today is Thursday and that means Xen’s Hats has at least one hat on sale for 55L. The sale hat for today is Rosemary, a large black rose on a small black hat that perches at a precarious angle. (You could change that angle if you had a mind to.)

I’ve paired Rosemary with this gorgeous black lace gown from My Precious called Vicky. I love the vintage feel I get from them when worn together. Enlarge Rosemary and wear with a different dress and you could have a completely different look—maybe avant garde.

Whatever you want to wear Rosemary with, get it today for only 55L here at Xen’s Hats.

Yes, I know it’s Wednesday, but I may not have time to blog tomorrow, so I’m sharing the Xen’s Hats Fifty5 Thursday item now. It’s also out and set to the 55L price, so you can stop in and pick it up now. Of course, I can only promise it will be 55L through midnight tomorrow, but I have been known to leave items up a bit later.

This week’s hat is Danni, a tall top hat with a cascade of silver-white flowers down the left side. Which of these great colors will you buy? If you want them all, I’m happy to tell you that you get them all-in-one for only 55L. That is, you get all of these colors and a million others. Wear the hat and the color-change hud and choose the color that goes perfectly with your outfit.

Go gets yours before midnight on Thursday at Xen’s Hats.

I love these little pillbox style hats. This one has a spring of Lily-of-the-Valley on the side and can be recolored using the included hud. Right now it’s only 55L, but it won’t be at this great price for long, so pop over and get yours now.

Speaking of great prices, Yula Finesmith is having a major sale before she closes for a bit and returns with something new. All single items and some sets are only 100L!  My pocketbook and I are headed for FineSmith, but I hope you stop by Xen’s Hats first to pick up Lily.

Yula Finesmith is having a sale on all of her shoes and boots for 24 hours (9:00 a.m. SLT Tuesday to 9:00 a.m. SLT Wednesday). Every pair is only 100L. Now is a good time to pair a pair or ten at FineSmith.

This cute pose is from Avante Poses. It comes with lots of shoes built in, but because it’s modifiable, I unlinked and deleted those shoes and added a few of my FineSmith shoes and boots. Isn’t it a cute pose? It’s only 10L at Avante Poses.

Yesterday I posted one of the new hats from Xen’s Hats that I have on sale for only 55L today. Here is the second hat, Barber. This hat has a black band with a studded texture. Although the band stays black, you can change the color of the hat to match your outfit by using the hud that comes with the hat.

I had a lot of fun putting this look together using lots of color. (Color makes me happy.) These images show me using the FineSmith Noga Necklace and Earrings in peridot, but after I took the photos, I received the My Girl Aphrodite set and I’ve switched earrings to those and used the ring as a pin on my lapel.

(Unfortunately, if I took the time to retake the photos, I’d never get this posted. However, I love that, not only can you attach jewelry pieces to different spots, but that Yula encourages us to experiment and make the jewelry work for us. Thank you for the encouragement to do that, Yula!)

Tomorrow is the day of the week when I set three items at Xen’s Hats to sell for only 55L. This week I designed three new fedoras especially for the event. Today I’m going to share the first of the three. This one is Charlie—a color-change fedora with a medium-tan, patterned band. The fedora is delivered in white with a hud, and it is ready for you to color it to match your outfit.

I’ve colored it pink to coordinate with the pink skirt from R.icielli that I’m wearing. I’ve paired the skirt with a brown turtle-neck sweater from YumYum. Since it’s winter in my part of the real world, I’ve donned light brown Gradient Tights from Izzie’s and G Field’s Short Lace-Up Boots in Brown. Then I’ve accessorized with the pink Mimmi’s Necklace from FineSmith.

I would tell you that if you like the fedora, not to stop by Xen’s Hats until tomorrow when it will be just 55L. However, it just might be 55L already—maybe, just maybe.

Here is the third hat from Xen’s Hats that is available through the weekend for only 55L. This one is more dramatic than my usual hats and could be useful on the runway or in some role-playing sims. I’m wearing the hat  in a larger-than-usual size to accommodate the hair, but it could be resized to a smaller hat by just clicking on it. As with most Xen’s Hats, it is easy to recolor it using the enclosed hud. I’ve paired it with a long gown from AZUL and a necklace from FineSmith.

I did some editing in the front and on the sides on the hair from Exile, but I’ve let the hair come through the back. If I were modeling with this hat, I would probably select a different hair that required less editing in the back.

Here is the second hat from Xen’s Hats that is available for only 55L through the weekend. I’ve paired this Velvet headscarf with an adorable new minidress from Apple May Designs and, of course, jewelry from FineSmith. The hair required minimal editting and is from my favorite hair designer chiaki Xue of Dura Hair.

For those of you who take photographs or model, you might want to check out the poses at Avante Poses. The pose maker, Trinity Graves, has a nice selection of inexpensive poses for males and females that you will want to stock up on.

There are days when I just cannot get my act together. Yesterday was one of those days. Perhaps it was because I didn’t sleep well the night before or because the cat on my lap distracted me or I was in a brain-fog, but whatever it was, I was not especially productive and did not get my Fifty5 Thursday items from Xen’s Hats blogged. As a result, I’m leaving the prices up through the weekend so you have plenty of time to stop in and get your favorites.

Here is look one, a cute turban that is, as usual, color-changeable and resizable. The hair I used took minimal editing to fit beautifully.

If you missed getting your hat(s) Thursday, I haven’t gotten around to resetting the prices yet, so you are in luck. Pop over to Xen’s Hats and get yours before I remember to reset those prices. I’m showing the hats below in different colors than I showed previously. You can see previous colors and all of the credits here. Here is a magic button to fly you to Xen’s Hats.
