Curing Monday Blues With Pink

Happy Monday Fabulouses!  I hope your day isn’t too painful.  I have found a few free gifts you might like to pick up – perhaps all this pink will lighten the Monday blues…  I’ll start at the top and move my way down.

The adorable short, colour streaked hairstyle I am wearing can be found on Marketplace for free until September 7th in the Ali & Alli store.  She’s called Tia and comes with a hud for resize and to change the colour of the streak.  There are several styles in the A&A marketplace store for free right now, so make sure you have a peek at the others too.

The Sexy Girly Tee is the Sexy Bish Hunt item you will have after locating the SBH icon at 1 Hundred.  The Sexy Bish Hunt runs until August 31st.  You can find more information regarding this hunt here - http://pandthuntsgroup.blogspot.ca/p/sexy-bish-hunt-aug-1-31.html

 I paired up the Sexy Girly Tee with a pair of mesh denim shorts that are a group gift at Something Sexy.  The group is free to join.

My Balloon Shoes and Summer Shopper are free group gifts from Sweet Leo / Needful Things where they have a TON of fun accessory type group gifts for just a 70L join fee.

This photo was taken at Surf Beach which is a place I like to chill at from time to time.  It just makes me feel like I’m on vacation in the Caribbean

Sailing Anyone?

.

I didn’t log onto SL till late tonight. When I did I was surprised to see a gift from Lelutka‘s Subscribe-o-matic. It’s the Breeze Ensemble. The Breeze ensemble comes with a bikini top, bikini top tie, bikini bottom, sarong system skirt, sarong tie and Breeze hair in 7 hair colors. I added my BOOM Deck shoes, which are a store gift at Old Costa Rica location.

.

The hair in the Breeze ensemble is an easy-going style with a straw hat to match the outfit. The hair comes in basic colors. I’m wearing Glucose, one of my normal Lelutka colors.

.

The Breeze hair/hat from Lelutka looks great at any view.

Nordari ~ Living Well, Cheaply In SL

Who says you can’t live well in SL without shelling out a ton of Linden’s? Thanks to hunts, group gifts, store gift, MM boards and FabFree blog, I’m living just how I want in SL, very cheaply and beautifully I might add. Everything in the below picture has been free at one time in the last 60 days.

.

My Romance skyhome was the TOSL Hunt at Leezu. It has 3 rooms in it that are just the right size.  My Afterglow livingroom set Renee blogged and was also in the TOSL Hunt from Dreamscapes Art Gallery. My rug (6 different rugs), the hanging lamps (all shown), floor and table lamps (all shown) and the lonesome bird floor vase were found at nordari. The crate the items from nordari comes in is even decorative. My Just Awsome outfit is a store gift from EDELFABRIK blogged here and is still available. Even my avie has been basically free. The shape is a basic LL starter shape I have modified to suit me.

So, keep reading and hunting, you can also live well cheaply in SL.(if you hurry, you might be able to catch the skybox and livingroom set for free.)

Paris Metro & PurpleMoon Alternate Locations

 

.

Rose has set this wonderful summer dress out at her Couture Boulevard location of Paris Metro. It includes a nice sun hat.

.

I was surprised when I got back to the skybox and looked at my inventory. What I thought was a Paris Metro gift was actually a gift from PrupleMoon, Four Seasons Plaza Location. I love this little purple “Sue” bikini. I was so ready for a beach break.

Muka makes my eyes sparkle like a mardi gras parade!

There’s a new store on the grid! Muka Release was kind enough to send me a few goodies to show you guys. Two are free, one isn’t. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you know which is which! Also have some fabulous eyes, and some hair to show ya. Let’s get started, shall we? Hell yeah!

**Look into my eyes… see how they sparkle?**

Cane Sutter, owner of Skinthesis, sent the FabFree group this beautiful and festive set of Mardi Gras eyes earlier this week. They were also sent to her Skinthesis group members, as well as members of her subscribe-o-matic. Check the notices from FabFree, her group, or the subscribo history and get your pair today. I love them… your eyes seem dark and mysterious from far away, but up close, if someone looks deep into them, you see a fun splash of color. Thank you for sharing these with the grid, Cane!

**Boobs… I has em’!**

Dig this shirt? Totally free. Epic! As you walk into the MUKA main store you’ll see a box on the floor with this shirt on it. Buy it for $0L. Cleavagerous Egypt is the name of this fabulous find. It’s a tad bit revealing, so I opted to wear pasties with it. (What? My boobs are shy and modest!) Still, for a well made shirt, heck yeah I’ll take it! The hair I am wearing was on a lucky board at D!va main store. The hair comes in this garnet color, and the scarf can be changed with a couple of different textures. Join the group for free, and head upstairs to find a plethora of free hairstyles, and even a cute hat! I like this hair, it conveys how I felt this morning when I woke up… “Screw this, it’s Saturday and I’m going to be lazy. Ain’t no way I’m stylin’ my hair today!”

**Oops, did I lose a strap? *winks* **

This simple yet adorable strapoff top in turquoise is the first group gift from Muka. Find it in the notices, the group is currently free to join. I love the sculpted strap that falls off the shoulder. So sexy! And such a pretty color. Again it’s just a touch revealing but not too bad. I wore the pasties just because I can. I’ve also worn this with a plain white cami underneath and it’s a super cute layered look!

** Excuse me while I let it all hang out…*

Now, this outfit is outstanding but NOT free. I’m showing it not only because Muka Release was kind enough to send it to me, but also to give you an idea of some of the clothes you will find. This is called Overalligator and I’m wearing it in blue. Individual colors are $249L or you an buy the fatpack for $900L. The attachments are modifiable so you can fit them to your shape. Thank you so much Muka for sending me a sampling to show to our FabFree readers! Really excited to see what awesome creations will be coming in the future!

P.S. The hair in the last picture is also not free. It’s available at Truth for $250L.

♪ Just hum a merry tune… ♪

*does her best Paula Dean impression* Hey ya’ll!

Ugh, okay enough of that. I’ve got some goodies for you today. I must warn you all though: As I write this I’m quite sleepy. I blame my cat. She would NOT stop crawling all over me last night. Perhaps putting those soft flannel sheets on my bed wasn’t such a great idea, because she seems to think I put them there for HER! But I am anxious to let you all know about the little treasures I found, so kindly bear with me as I attempt to write through a lack-of-sleep-and-stomach-too-full-of-Red-Lobster haze!

Want to take up all the space in the room, but in a good way? I stumbled upon this dress earlier today for… get this… 1L! o.O I know, right? It’s very twirly girly, and a pretty blend of blue hues. This dollarbie gown can be yours if you visit the store Hopeless Designs. It’s right by the entrance. This store has some fabulous shoes with intricate details. Perhaps when I have some extra lindens to spare, I will go splurge on myself!

After I found the dress, I turned around and VOILA! There was another box with two pairs of earrings in it. The box is not free and not a dollarbie, but it’s a fair bargain at 25L. Shown here is what the silver earrings look like. You also get a gold set. I really like these earrings, but I’m a sucker for silver.

It snowed here today. Freshly fallen snow is beautiful to watch and look at, but I must admit, I despise cold weather. Many sims around the grid are decorated beautifully for winter, so I of course decided to wander those which provided a more summer-y atmosphere. Hmm… what does an avatar wear to go wander in the warm sun? Personally, I prefer a casual tank top and a trusty pair of shorts.

First I had to decide on a top. I reached into my “closet” for my Intrinsic Tank from JANE. These tank tops are free every day and come in a plethora of colors. We talk about these tank tops a lot, because they are just a basic necessity in every darling girl’s wardrobe. Be sure to look at the other adorable items in the store while you are there. They are well made and fairly priced (at least in my humble opinion). Now that I’ve got my boobs covered, I need to figure out what shorts I should cover my butt with. Basic denim just wouldn’t do on a day like today. I wandered over to Humming to pick up these adorable little button shorts in red. Yay! Now I have my…um… assets covered. Now, how should I wear my hair today? Decisions, decisions…

As you can see, I decided to go with a simple side ponytail with subtle curls. This lovely hair comes in a HUGE variety of colors and is currently a free gift from Analog Dog. Along with the ponytail you get matching hairbase tattoo layers for each color. If you haven’t picked this hair up already, hurry! I am not sure how much longer it will be out!

In addition to my sweetly simple ensemble, I felt I should go in search of a lovely pale skin, since I decided on being a redhead today. Al Vulo has their newest group gift out. Paddy’s skin is delightfully light and freckled, and even has red eyebrows and a red hairbase. The Al Vulo group is currently free to join, and Hlin Bluebird, the owner, is very generous. I have a store bought skin of hers and it’s one of my favorites! I felt this skin needed just a tiny bit of makeup, so I turned to my 1L Julia eyelashes from Chuculet. There are eight different styles to choose from at the shop.

WOOTS! I’m done and dressed! I think it only took me… what, 3 hours? Now, I’m exhausted, and too tired to explore. Figures, right? But my outfit makes me think of mustard and ketchup, and that makes me think of a corn dog, which makes me hungry, which makes me….

Hangin’ Around… By Myself

The group gift at Wetcat Builds & Poses this month is Hangin’ Around. I had planned on hanging around with my S.O. and my Bestie, but they were both missing in action tonight. So, I get to hang around and shoot the breeze with myself.

These poses are quite fun with friends…. /me looks at the empty poseballs.

Look guys, I’m upside down! /me hears the crickets chirping.

Ok, so this pair of faded jeans and I are just Hangin’ Around.

Also grab the 5 dollarbie pose when you’re there. I’ll try to show it when I have more than pinks socks and jeans to help me with a group pose.
