Alright, critique time!
First I have to say that I love her hair. You shade hair very well, especially the dark tonesm they came out very nicely. You also seem to have a good sense of stray hairs. I would like to point out, however, that the hair of cats is very different to that of humans. Especially on the tail, the tail is a long surface lined with short hairs, instead of the stream of long hair you drew. So cat tails and ears are shaded with a very different technique then human hair.
Here's a picture of a cat: [link] images always explain things better (Isn;t it cute? Cat's are adorable xD) You can see the little hairs on the tails, they're short and random. The same goes for the ears, but those hairs are even shorter. I'd advise you to practice colouring just a cat's tail from a picture, try drawing what you see. Practice, practice, practice. It's boring, it really, really is, but it will help you in the long run.
The next thing I'd like to point out is the blush. You should never use a purplish pink colour for a blush. I'm not sure how much you know about human biology but blushes come from a high concentration of blood around the area. You know when you blush that your face feels heated? It's because blood is warm, and it brights warmth to your face. (This is the same reason why, when it's cold, your face will be redder, because your body tries to give it more heat by sending more blood to the cheeks/nose) Now blood is red, the reason it looks pinkish is because you're not seeing it directly, you're seeing the blood through the skin. Therefore when drawing a blush, you should use a light red (What you used would actually be fuchsia, pink is simply light red C: ) or what I often do is take a bit of a desaturated red (or sometimes even more orangy red, especially when using darker skintones) on a low opacite to really show a variety of shades of blush.
The last little thing I'd like to comment on is the lines under the breasts you drew. I'm assuming it's supposed to show the ribs? If you look at a human skeleton [link] BAM (Gotta love google) the ribs you're looking for war the ones underneath the Xiphoid process. You see how the biggest part of it to the front isn;t bone at all? And how the ribs are slightly pointed downwards? If you want to show that your character is thin what you should do is show a few downward lines to indicate the ribs to the very side, here it would be covered by her arms.
I hope these tips are useful to you. You're really going the right way, the hair looks great and you've got a good sense of shading. Especially the ribbon looks very nice. Keep on drawing and keep on practicing (:

thannkss for the critque, this can really help ^^
hm Its strange regarding the blush though.. I usually choose some more redish color instead of pink o_O;; but I could have done it differently here.. I will pay attention to it ^^
I will surely look through it again , I dont usually draw/color cat ears and tails so I will practice that soon, also I usually never draw lines for ribs so xD
so those tips can help me forward^^
