Sometimes the hardest part of a post is coming up with a title. Not so today. ;) For that, I have to thank Ivey Deschanel of .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Its rather hard not to do something suggestive with that store name, isn’t it? Based on the group notices that Ivey sends every Friday, I am suspicious she picked her store name mainly to have a near limitless of good notecard titles on hand. ;) Considering her output volume—there’s usually 4-5 new things each week—she certainly goes through a lot of titles.
Style Notes & Slurls
Skin: N2 Maya B Pre-Release Group Preview by Blowpop
Hair: Bella Black by Jolie Femme
Clothes: Chica Denim Skirt Rust, Fishnets from So Last Year, Carny Cootch Purple, Peep Show Black, Bloomers Black by Sn@tch
Accessories: Gooshers Combat Boots and Bondage Boots by Sn@tch
Poses: Reel Expression
My inventory actually contains quite a few items in the Sn@tch folder, though I think most of my purchases have actually been from Ivey’s gothic The Hunger line. Lately, however, my eyes have definitely been opened to how many different styles the store actually covers. So, when Ivey dropped some recent releases on me, I decided that I would try to capture a few different flavours of .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
The first look combines the Chica denim skirt, one of the new releases, with some pieces from the So Last Year fishnet collection. The boots are also a new release, the Gooshers combat boots. The skirt is almost what in Sweden might be referred to as “muskort”, and it does not come with any glitch pants. This is definitely Sn@tch with an attitude.
The second outfit is all new releases, the cute and flirty Carny Cootch dress (in purple, so it would match the makeup on the very gorgeous group preview of Blowpop’s next skin, Maya) and the Bondage Boots. The boots have colour-changing ribbons and offers the choice between a low and a high heel. A bit of a Lolita-esque Sn@tch, perhaps?
Finally, we have the Peep Show top, which is rather more demure than the name suggests, paired with black bloomers. The top is nicely patterned, and together with the bloomers I think it has a bit of an oldfashioned, demurely sexy quality. Sn@tch for all ages, one might call it. ;)
Now that I’ve had entirely too much fun with that, I will add that in addition to offering a lot of different styles, Ivey is also offering great quality at excellent prices. Most items are only sold in what would be fatpacks in other stores, but at prices that aren’t much higher than what you might pay for a single colour elsewhere. The footwear is perhaps a little on the heavy side, but on the other hand they fit my legs without needing any resizing, which slimmer silhouettes almost always do. The texturing is great, and there are lots of fun, interesting designs.

you look luscious! And I have big wide calves LOL I’m a monstaaa ;)
Thanks. :) It really has been fun to discover the variety of looks in the store.
I’ve usually got rather massive calves, though this shape is a bit leaner admittedly, so I am always surprised when I don’t have to massively resize boots, heh. :)
