Listen to the Mandolin Rain

Hello Fabulouses!  When I first moved to my location in RL, I was so happy to leave gray skies behind.  Now, however, although I do appreciate the near-constant sunshine, I have come to cherish our rare rainy days.  They offer a welcome respite from the blazing sun, and a bit of variety to the same-old, same-old.  Second Life seems to be a lot like my RL location in that you rarely encounter rain, so when Ripley and I came across a patch of rainfall in the Mystical Fae Forest, it seemed a perfect place to snap a photo.

Trimmed in Lace

My beautiful Leikela dress from Brii Underground is a special offer for only 1 little Linden dollar.  Featuring a black mini dress with lace accents, this frock is sophisticated and simply stunning.  The off-the-shoulder fit offers a glimpse of smooth skin on your shoulders, but complete coverage where you need it.  I really like the slit in the skirt panel, which makes walking a breeze.  The package includes a coordinating pair of heels, and versions for both classic and mesh avatars.  To scoop up a copy for yourself, head over to the shop, and turn toward the front wall.  Leikela sits to the right of the group gifts collection.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Fitmesh in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Alpha layer
• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus

Sometimes (Real) Life Gets in the Way

Oh, Hey!

Sorry to have been MIA for most of November, but this month has been a total b!$@h. Real life just kept my attention way too much to get anything else accomplished. I want to thank my fellow bloggers for keeping busy finding great free finds and a warm (although late) welcome to Aline. I’ll stick my toe back in the proverbial blogging pool and test the waters…

Updates and Pixel Odor…

I was delighted when I actually had a bit of free time to find that both my head and mesh body had updates. (I can’t wait to wiggle my fingers) 🙂 It was also pointed out to me that I had been wearing the same outfit for over three weeks and it was starting to smell (can pixels smell?)  So I decided to leave the sanctuary in the clouds and hit a few stores.

This Jacket doesn’t Smell…

I stopped by Resun Fashions to check out the November group gift for guys. This month’s gift is the Dennis Jacket and Shirt combo. The shirt comes fitted for the ADAM, Aesthetic, Slink and TMP bodies as well as standard sizes XS-XL. This gift is FREE to Resun members and the group is FREE to join. I hope to be back soon with more fabulous freebies and remember… Christmas and all the presents that go along with it is just around the corner…

Know all your angles

The Angles Pose Collection by West End was recently announced as a free FabFree group gift, and the pose I am using today is just one of five of the unique poses in the pack.  I love trying out different angles, and this pose set will be a lot of fun to work with!

The Lady is a Vamp

Sometimes I feel a bit vampy, and it calls for red hair and a whole lotta latex.  When I get into this mood, there’s only one place to go – D’eVil!  The best thing about these high-gloss items is the fact that they’re completely free! 

The D’eVil Inside

D’eVil is a special little shop that is quite small, but crams a heck of a lot of really great clothes, boots and other interesting finds inside.  I remember being completely shocked when I walked through the door to see that everything in the store is 100% free.  Yes, you read that right.  The owner, Dariana, says that she has “nothing to sell, only to give away” because “having someone smile is the greatest thing in the world”.   Well, I sure did smile looking around the store.  There are several dresses, different kids of shoes, and a few adult-themed items, all priced at 0L.

Shine on, You Crazy Diamond

In the photo above, I am wearing the Jani dress, which has several versions inside the box, all in different transparency rates.  If you’re feeling daring, that is! It also comes in leather, for days where you want a bit more coverage.  This dress is a Maitreya Lara exclusive.    The Via boots are quite versatile, you could even wear them with an oversized sweater for a unique look.  They come with a texture HUD so you can choose from many colours to match your outfit or mood!  There is also a leather version included in the box.  These are also a Maitreya Lara exclusive.   The texturing on the clothes really is top notch, and sometimes I catch myself staring at the shine!

Well, there you have it Fab Free – get out there and get your shine on!
