Kirina's Closet

…Just extremely busy with classes and wedding stuff! LoL, this is my “OMG, so sorry I haven’t posted anything yet!” post just to apologize to those who were wondering when the next article would be ^_^

My focus for the next couple of articles is professional wear. I’ve been meaning to add more types of professions, and revamp some of the articles already published(not my alchemy one ^_^). So, we should start to see those pop up in the near future.

March 20th is also the first day of spring (technically), and it will be time for a new “4 Season” article. Yea!

And then, hopefully, I can get back to adding more “Top of the Class” outfits….I just kinda left those when I got caught up with all the in-game world events since September.

Anyway, there will be more to look at on this site soon. In the mean time, there’s always the wonderful Kirina’s Closet Forum!

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day weekend…I sure did! ^_^ Which is also the reason why my Lunar Festival article isn’t up ^.^ Stay tuned – it will be up this week (it lasts until March 3rd, so, there’s a while to get a special outfit for yourself ^_^).

For those of us who couldn’t tell the difference between the festival’s decor, and what decorations were up for the love event, the Lunar Festival actually started yesterday, Valentine’s Day. Really, no changes came to this event, except for the additions of Elders in Northrend.

Two words: The Forum. If you haven’t stopped by in a while, please do. There is so much to see and talk about…almost too much even for me to keep up with! Kamalia posted some of her Lovely outfits, and many other new readers are posting their favorite RP outfits (which are amazing!). Perhaps you can show us some of your own outfits while you’re there? ^_^

/sigh. I’ve been having NO time to dedicate to this site as much as I would want to lately. Between wedding planning and major school related projects/tests, I’ll get home around 7:30 p.m with absolutely no energy left to do anything. I’m sorry!!

I am working on the Love is in the Air article, and it should be out by the end of this week (yea!)…the world event itself starts this Sunday, the 7th (Superbowl Sunday >:-| ). And, from browsing around Wowhead.com, and other sources like WoW.com, it looks as though Blizzard is completely changing the event. This is already evident in the fact that they made the Lovely Dresses and Suits, obtained from the Bubbling Cauldron quest, non-BOE in a recent patch. Whether or not they get rid of the original quests for this event, I don’t know, but they did add new dailys, charm bracelets, even lovely vendors! I also read somewhere that they’re adding a new boss to it, too (don’t take my word on that ^_^).

I don’t know how I feel about this change, and if the original “give a love token to an NPC for a present” is still going to be apart of the event (I appreciated its simplicity). While I enjoy new additions, especially possibly new clothing and other specialty items, does every world event need a boss to kill with “epic” rewards? Midsummer Fire Festival and the Lunar Festival has some lore to their bosses, and killing Coren Direbrew during Brewfest is always fun…it just seems like every time Blizzard changes a world event, they just throw in a dungeon. I guess I’ll have to wait and find out what’s all in store for this year ^_^.

Whew! I’m long winded today!

I also wanted to direct everyone to our forums. If you haven’t stopped by there in a while, there are tons of new stuff to look at! Kamalia updated her Dress Catalog and added some new outfits of her own, and a new memeber, Bleshy, post some great Blood Elf outfits. Check them all out!

First and foremost, Cogspinner, who brought all of us a different take on the Stormwind City Guard, started his on blog dedicated to WoW RP costumes and fashion. It looks to be a promising site, and I encourage everyone to check it out ^_^ : The Fashionable Gnome’s Guide to Fashion.

Ahhh, and the forum is just full of wonderful new posts. Check that out too! Kamalia added some new lovely Tauren ceremonial outfits, and there is a Jaina Proudmoore look-alike outfit for everyone to enjoy. Join in the fun and post an outfit or two of yours, as well, while you’re there!

/Sigh. Real-life can be so demanding these days. Aside from simultaneously working on 4 articles for this site at the same time, I’m also planning a wedding and trying to get everything squared away for one of my last major semesters in school.

So let’s see…Oh! Early this week, an article from WoW.com linked to this site for RP clothing in WoW. How cool is that?! ^_^ What I think is awesome is that coming to this site leads people to other great sites I myself have linked to (like Miss Hanuma’s site), as well as all the creativity on our forum.

Speaking of the forum, Malyndia posted a little post over looking like the pastry seller in Dalaran, Aimee. And, while on this main site we have the on-going collection of outfits for the guards of the major cities, this is a prime example of other “Home Town Hero” outfits we can include here, as well. So, if you have an outfit(s) that looks like your favorite NPC(s), by all means share it with us on the forum. ^_^

While you’re at the forum, also check out Clawmark’s post over the different combinations for Stormwind
Auctioneer’s outfits – very useful for around the town, too!
