Warm & Sassy!

I was doing a little shopping in Sassy! yesterday and spied a light blue 2013 hunt icon cleverly hidden.  The New In 2013 Hunt has ended, but the prize is still out at Sassy! (atleast it is today!), and it is this beautiful mesh Nevermore Dress in a blue/grey retro print.  I decided to put a little boho / beachy spin on it, and add a floppy summer hat and a sea shell necklace (Vintage Beach Necklace) that I found on Marketplace in the !BF! store for 1L.

ETA:  This hunt item is no longer available – the hunt icon has been picked up.

*sighs*  I almost felt warm!  Happy Sunday – now back to my movie fest!

It Was A Cold Winter Night… Outside These Four Walls

It may have been a cold, winter night outside, but inside these four walls, it was warm and cozy! Like Love, I recently did a little Cold Winter Nights Hunting. And she did not exaggerate about how fabulous the prizes are in this hunt! Check out Love’s post here for more information about the Cold Winter Night Hunt and for photos of some of the great prizes she picked up.

I invited Gavin over to see my new Little Getaway Skybox, the CWNH prize from Designer Prims. I had so much fun playing with the options on this amazing skybox that I may have gotten an eensy bit carried away. Seriously though, there is almost nothing you can’t mod, so you can customize it to be whatever you want it to be. There’s a menu-driven panel to change the floor, brick walls, and accent wood; the rest you can just re-texture yourself. Trust me, your 10L will be well spent on this one! The furniture you see here (most of it) is part of the hunt prize from Cleo Design. It includes two different sofas, a rug, coffee table with candles and fruit, a magazine rack, and a mirror and set of pictures that you can’t see in this picture. Again, I went a little nuts playing with the color options on the sofas. They come with several fun animations, and even dispense props! The lovely artwork you see over the green sofa not a hunt prize, but is a gift from Whiskey Monday to celebrate the first anniversary of Atelier Kreslo. There is also second gift, which I’ll show you in a bit.

Another view of the skybox. Gorgeous, isn’t it?

I had this empty back wall and nothing to fill it up, so I accidentally on-purpose wandered off into another hunt: The Four Walls Hunt.

The Four Walls Hunt runs until January 31st, and includes 37 stores. All prizes are 20L, but are valued at 200L or more. Be sure to visit the official blog for prize photos and SLURLs. You’ll be hunting for an evergreen tree in a cardboard box.

OFFICIAL FOUR WALLS HUNT BLOG

PRIZE PREVIEW AND SLURLS

Ok, back to my empty wall: I saw a picture of the Miller Dresser and Positive Words Art from PILOT and decided that I absolutely had to have it. Can you believe the dresser is only 2 L.I.? Oh, and see that cakestand full of delicious cupcakes? Another Four Walls prize, this time from Sway’s. It comes with the plates and cups you saw on the table in the previous pictures, as well as a couple of cute wall-hangings. Yummy! The Bird Cage Lamp is not a hunt item, but rather a free gift from Sway’s. There is also a smaller version in the box. Over in the corner is another non-hunt item, the Mayfair Trunk (Old Glory), a VIP group gift from {what next} (250L to join). The bookcase and furnishings inside are part of the skybox.

Gavin is such a “Sheldon” that I decided to pick up the Star Party star-gazing set, the CWNH prize from -Hanaya-. It is mesh, weighs in at 9 L.I., and comes with menu-driven animations for up to three avatars. It’s really a lot of fun to play with. Hey, looks like Gavin found something!

Here is an outside view of the skybox. The inside brick texture carries to the outside wall. There is a door on the other side, in case you decide to put your home on land instead of floating in the sky.

More evidence of my “modding madness”: I took out the fireplace that came with the skybox and added this Oak Fireplace, the CWNH prize from [Barnesworth Anubis]. The mirror over the mantle and the two pictures to the left of the fireplace are part of the Cleo Design CWNH prize. And the little daisy on a chair is the other anniversary gift from Atelier Kreslo; it comes in 3 sizes, with this one being the largest. To the right of the fireplace is the Pallet Log Box, the most recent VIP group gift from {what next}. Gavin and I decided to finish off those cupcakes; we’re snuggling in the Warming Up couples pose, the CWNH prize from Atooly.

Oh, and about what we’re wearing: Gavin’s beautifully textured mesh sweater is the CWNH prize from {Epicosity}, and my sparkly Pom Pom sweater is the prize from ::PurpleMoon::. My pants are not a hunt prize, but I’ll tell you about them anyway: they are the R.icielli Mesh SALLY Skinny Pants, available for 10L on the Marketplace. You get 10 different colors in the box, each in 5 standard sizes. How’s that for a deal? UPDATE: Gavin’s pants are a holiday gift from Rispetto Designs, and will be available to group members until approximately February 1st (50L to join); look for the boxes under the Christmas tree. We’re both wearing free skins; Gavin’s is part of the latest group gift from -Belleza- (250L to join), and mine is [ROCKBERRY]‘s free gift at FabFree Headquarters.

Whew! Any cupcakes left?

Message In A Bottle Across The Sea… Hole

After being stranded on my land for hours today, unable to teleport out (thanks Firestorm!), I decided to do a little marketplace shopping and pick up a message in a bottle kit!  I sent out an SOS to the world, and I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my.. Message in a bottle!

This bottle btw.. is very cute, you can send a real message and place it out for someone special – just 10L on marketplace!

I had been to Collabor88 earlier on a mission to find the Glam Affair skins that Serena showed earlier.  Such lovely skins at a wonderful price, I picked up Trending 2 for 188L, athough I may have to go back and pick up the other two as well.. and then kick myself for not grabbing the fatpack in the first place.

While I was down there at Collabor88, I noticed that they have a wonderful group gift available.  The group is free to join, and after you have joined you can pick up The Sea Hole Cassia Glitter Mini Dresses in a fatpack of colours.  I am wearing the cafe shade.  D!va also has their Marie hair in two versions set out for free at their display in two versions, including a hud that allows you to change the length of the hair and it comes in a fatpack of colours.

A Snuggly Saturday

Thank goodness it’s Saturday today! It has been one of those realllllllly long weeks, and I am looking forward to climbing into some comfy clothes and vegging for a couple of days before I start the same routine all over again on Monday lol. I’m on my own to find something in my closet in RL, but Bella’s Lullaby hooked me up here in SL!

When you join the free inworld group you gain access to a ton of free gift either through VIP gifts, or lucky board prizes.  They have recently hit 1500 group members and have place out a special group gift for both men and women.  The women’s gift includes the mesh baggy sweater and pink leggings.  The Owly Owl Purse is also a group gift and comes with another printed bag (not shown, but also adorable).  Lucky Letter L just happened to be on the board when I was down there, and I won these snuggly Ugg Boots too!

The Lena Necklace, which I would say is totally unisex is made by .:*LOULOU&CO*:. and is just one of many gifts sitting out at Energy Club.  I posted about all of these great gifts months ago, but they are still available, so if you haven’t checked them out – make sure you head down there and have a peek.  The Energy Club is free to join.

What’s Next: Blossoming Into 2013?

Confession: I hate odd-numbered years. I know, I know; odd-numbered years are no different than even-numbered years, but hey, everyone’s got their “thing,” right? This just happens to be mine. Add to that the fact that next year has a 13 in it, and I can’t help but worry that we’re in for a bumpy ride! Thank goodness I’ve got Nessie – who’s not afraid of ANYTHING, by the way – to help ease my irrational, numerical fears!

Today I’m wrapping my fears in my fave color purple with this lovely, mesh, berry wrap dress and shoes by [Blossom], which are their December gifts for the Womenstuff Hunt. The November gift is also still available, so hurry over and get yourself an even-numbered 2-fer! The Womenstuff Hunt is loaded with fabulous gifts, and ends on January 2nd.

This gorgeous skin with shimmery shadow is from [Pink Fuel], and was their prize in the With Love Hunt, which I think ended on December 28th. Even so, the box is still there for you to find (as of this afternoon), and can be  yours for only 10L. The skin comes in ivory with 4 brow options, or no brow, if that’s how you roll. I love the little beauty mark next to the left eye. My Touch of Stone jewelry is a past group gift from Lazuri, and I’m sorry to say is no longer available for free. However, you can pick it up at a substantial discount by wearing your group tag (free to join). Plus, the current version comes with 4 different metals and 9 stones, with the necklace in 3 styles and the earrings in 2. Head for the Sale/Freebies room, and don’t forget to pick up the other gifts while you’re there!

Face your fear… they’re just silly numbers… breathe in, breathe out…

Sigh… So I’m facing my fear by surrounding myself with these pretty New Year’s decor items from {what next}. This set of 2 Resolutions Prints is a VIP Group gift, which you can find in your notices or pick up at the store. I keep repeating the positive messages over and over again… Oh, and the 2013 Mantle Decor, which includes the candles and leaning Auld Lang Syne Art Print, are on sale for 75L today for Lazy Sunday. And my little Christmas Village houses have been blogged everywhere by now, but in case you missed them, are by Pilot for The Arcade Gacha (I couldn’t resist!).

(FYI – {what next} is currently having a 50% off sale at the Christmas & Winter Market. VIP group members receive 30% rewards credit, so be sure to wear your group tag!)

So I wonder: Do I have disparnumerophobia? Or triskaidekaphobia? Or both??

Spring Flowers And Winter Berries

One of the wonderful things about Second Life is that when you tire of winter snow, there’s sure to be a warm-weather sim just a click away. I did a search for “garden” and wound up in this lovely, peaceful meadow – I feel like I’m in a Van Gogh painting. Look, I caught a butterfly!

This gorgeous floral gown was recently sent to Kungler’s group members (check your group notices or head over to the store to pick one up). I love the way it hugs my curves in old Hollywood glam-style. The Kungler’s group is 50L to join, but every month group members receive something unique and beautiful – you won’t be disappointed!

My jewelry, called Winter Berries, are advent gifts from Chop Zuey Couture. These gifts are free to everyone, and are all still available, so pop over and pick yours up. My hair and skin are not free, but are both amazing deals from “”D!va”" and Glam Affair at Collabor88. The luscious lips of the skin and the wispy strands of hair… I couldn’t resist!

I think I’ll just stand here and drink in the beauty of nature for a while. It’s a long time until spring comes… in real life, that is.

Snow Smashing On a Wyntery Day

Thanksgiving might not be quite over yet, but it was winter in Cal’s skybox today!  We had to do some quick thinking to get suited up for the surprise snow.  Fortunately I found a cozy warm mesh parka as a Giving Thanks Hunt prize at Prim & Pixel that I paired up with my favourite Estravaganza J052 Jeans (not free), and a pair of Duh! Tall Snow Booties that are available in several colours for just 25L.. and infact, the periwinkle colour is 1L!  Rispetto Designs hooked Calgon up with their Mr. Hunter hunt prize which is the very smart mesh Cotton Blue Jacket.

We had a snowball fight, which I believe he let me win, but I’m ok with that as long as he is the one with a face full of snow in the end and not me… Then we had a stroll through the falling snowflakes trying to work off Cal’s Thanksgiving feast which he teased me with in great detail right down to the fresh cranberries.  He totally deserved that snow smash, just sayin.
We walked for so long, my cheeks went well rosy!   Well, actually this is thanks to Belleza’s Fifty Linden Friday feature!!  I nearly fell over when I saw that Belleza had a skin out for 50L today.  It’s called Wynter, and as you can see.. IT’S ADORABLE!  50L only today, so hurry!

Note – The couples poses used above are called Snow Smash and I Met A Girl.  Each pose set was on sale today for 50L.  There are a ton of couples poses on sale for 50L at Exposeur today, but I am not sure how long the sale will last –  Thanks for the tip Kyle!

Only One Way To Get Me Out In The Cold & Snow…

If there is anything that can entice me to go out in the cold and snow it’s a fuzzy warm sweater and …  chocolate cookies When I saw this Chocolatier Drink Tray Set was being offered at What Next for Fifty Linden Friday yesterday, I snatched it up!

Last weekend I showed you an adorable Animal Parka at Ribbon on a lucky board and this weekend and that hoodie is still available, but now I see there are several to be picked up for free in the way of lucky boards, and a hunt item too, so I thought I would do up a post to show them all to you!  In the photo above I am wearing NukuNuku-One in Deer along with my Tramp Jeans from Twisted & Spoiled (not free), and a pair of black boots that I picked up at The Viviane Fashion display for 10L at The Black Event.

Below, to the left you will see the Pimp My Hunters Hunt prize (Animal Parka – HUNT) you can find at RibboN and to the right, a new lucky board prize (Nukunuku LB P LEO)!

At the Love Soul Ribbon Location you can try your luck on the boards with the three lucky board prizes below.  Left – Animal Parka LB-1, Right Top – Nukunuku-One LB-?, Right Bottom – Nukunuku-One B – LEO

Dirty Turkey Hunting

The Dirty Turkey Hunt V3.0 began on November 1st and runs until November 30th!  If you haven’t checked out the official blog for this hunt yet, be sure to – because there are approximately 150 designers participating and the gifts (which are free!) that I have picked up so far, are a lot of fun!  The icon to search for is a little round turkey box.  In this post, I am displaying a few of the prizes you can find, and will be sure to show you more as I pick them up!

The playful hat I am wearing is called the Kawaii Turkey Chapka and is the gift you will find hidden at EPIC.  The Pilgrim Girl pose shown above with the pumpkins and the rifle can be found at Sparrowtree Studio Poses and also comes in a guy’s version.

SAKIDE never disappoints with their hunt gifts!  They are always so generous with mix and match pieces, layers and options.  Their gift for the hunt is called the Huntress Outfit and it includes the Nature Bra & Panties Set shown above and the mesh Huntress Top and matching skirt below.

These great mesh suede boots are free, but have been previously blogged before.  I am  mentioning them again, because they are still available and may be new to some who missed the older posts.  These boots can be found as a free group gift at COCO Designs (no fee to join), in two colours.
