Stars – Beyond the New Frontier

I have a sky full of stars. That’s right! I got it from Precious of Precious Designs as a group gift (free to join). I love this dress. It comes with a color change HUD that gives you 2 color choices – purple & green. I can’t even begin to tell you how generous this designer is with her group & SLF&O gifts. I chose the purple for this shoot. I paired it with a new pair of shoes from Shoenique, the Latte Heels Pumps. They are also a free gift for the SLF&O group (free to join). The color is neutral and will match almost anything in your wardrobe.

I put in this closeup shot to show you my nails, hair and jewelry. My nails come from Allusions, another set of the Meteorite nails in 2 colors (group gift). I’m wearing the berry set. These are SLink appliers so you must have a set of SLink hands. Cele Light Blonde is the hair I am wearing from Alli&Ali. It was a MM Prize. Both of these groups are free to join. My lipstick was a also a SLF&O gift (free to join) from TnO and this lovely shade is pinky! My jewelry, Moon & Stars set came from ~*Dryad Designs*~. I couldn’t find the store in SL but this set can be found on the Marketplace for $200L.

Dazed but not Confused

Waves hello! I was in a hippie/ganja/fantastical kind of mood the other night. I found some fabulous freebies to put together and show you. First up is this really cool hood from Spyralle called the Parchment Scroll Silk Hood with Enamel Brooch. It’s a free gift from the store. I snapped a couple of pics so you could see the brooch detail and the hood’s texture. My nice shades are a free gift from ChiChickie! You can find it right inside the store’s entrance. The hair style is also a free gift from Chichickie! It’s a subscribo gift called Ameris and this color is dark auburn; it comes with a universal HUD that allows color/texture/resize. The skin is a sale item ($50L) from .::WoW::. It’s the Taylor tan 03 and it comes in 6 versions. I am also wearing the “more freckles tattoo” included in the skin package.

I saw this beautiful coat at Spyralle when I was picking up my free hood and I HAD to have it! The texture is a fractal art design named the Lotus Seaglass.   I paid $200L for the coat but it was money well spent. I paired it with this partially free outfit from Allusions. The jeans are free and the top, Summer:Lake:S, cost me a whole $10L! It was a good day for me.

It’s the Little Things I Love

Hello Fabbies! Sometimes it’s the little things I love.  “It’s the little things that count, hundreds of them.” (Cliff Shaw). To me it’s all the little things I collect from around Second Life that make me happy. The fact that most of them cost little to no money makes me even happier. Today I’d like to show you a few little things I’ve found.

I had such fun putting this outfit together! It all started off with a trip to B!asta for a $10L find in the Retirement Marathon that changes quite often. I love the frilly blouse that comes with the outfit and the colors are appealing to me. The hot pants lend a saucy touch. This really cute curly hair style comes from Alli&Ali. Every month they host a sale with a good number of hair styles in boxes of three color shades to be found for $99L each. I had to chuckle when my sissy told me, “You look different every time I log in!”. I just enjoy changing up my look after all these years in SL.

I found the perfect nails to match the colors in the blouse at Allusions for only $10l. This pack of 3 colors is called Meteorite. Allusions has cosmetics, large sets of nail polishes, clothing, jewelry and even a few pieces of furniture all at very reasonable prices. There are also a few free and other $10L items that can be found in the store. There are items on the 1st & 2nd floors. Don’t think that just because the room to the right has only a few items out that the store doesn’t have more. Just travel up the stairs and you will find more.

Lindy Retro & Modern Couture is having a yard sale offering shoes for SLink feet with prices ranging from $98L – $140L. The sale ends on July 30th so hurry and grab some deals. Lindy is also very generous with SLF&O gifts. These smart, sexy heels come from the yard sale and I paid $133L for them. The style is called Falyn and this color is “Nude”. You can wear them with just about any color.

Outfit – B!asta Sweet B Petrol ($10L Retirement Round)

That’s it for now! It’s late and time to snooze…..

Take a walk on the Wild Side with Me

I felt a little edgy today and decided to show something different from my usual style. I joined ::JStyle:: (free to join) a long time ago and have so many group gifts that I’m not sure when I’ll wear them all. But I sure am going to try! The clothing from the store tends to be more modern, maybe even described as “street style”.

This tight fitting body-hugging bodysuit is a great example of the varied outfits from ::JStyle::. I love the way this Chocolate Bodysuit hugs my curves. It is a very recent free group gift so hurry over, join the group, and grab it. This gift comes as an ensemble complete with the bodysuit, jewelry,skin, shape, nails, appliers, and boots. Imagine all of this for FREE! The gift includes a collar but I changed the look up with a very nice necklace from When I Dreamed. It’s the Native Long Necklace I bought for $100L. My lip color was a freebie find from the Skin Fair 2014; the shade is called Deadly. I thought it complemented the bodysuit. I chose the Amazonia skin from another recent ::JStyle:: group gift (free) and wanted a smaller shape so I put on an old fallback from The Free Dove – Joella Shape w/ small frame/larger breasts. It was also free. The most expensive item I am wearing is my hair from Truth – Harriet ($250).

One of the things I love best about Second Life is that you can really doll up your avatar for practically no cost. I got this great emoter from Emmepose. Visit the store to pick up a few freebies found on the desk and in the black boxes to the left side.

More July 4th Fabness

I know this post is a day late for Independence Day but the celebration does carry over to the weekend. YAY!!! It’s a long weekend for the hard-working Americans out there. I found more Fabness to celebrate the 4th of July. I had a lot of fun putting these together and finding different spots to take these photos.

I got this teeny red, white, and blue bikini at ViVi and it was a free gift for all. It was a great grab! Snowpaws had this really cute American Flag headband for sale ($100). I added these truly fab heels from Shoenique Designs ($99L). I thought the heels were well worth the price. This pic was taken at Ihla Brasil Rio. I loved the look of the surf and rocks right off the beach.

My dress is fitted mesh from Paisley Daisy and was so excited to find this cute dress for only $10L at a limited Time Only sale. My shoes are the same ones pictured above from Shoenique Designs ($99L). I decided to change my hair to my favorite style, Sonja, from Alli&Ali. That was a very welcome MM surprise.

I Love Lemongrass!

When I hear the word lemongrass I think of delicious Thai food. The gorgeous gown from Snowpaws is truly delicious. The details such as the textures, skirt, and gold chains/buttons are amazing. I was anxious to share this beautiful gown with you. The fact that I won this dress free in a Midnight Mania Board is even more fab!

I decided to complement the look with my favorite hair style from Alli&Ali Designs. The style is called Sonja and the color is cinnamon. I’m so excited that I now have it in 2 colors. It also cost me nothing more than a tap on a Midnight Mania Board aka free.

Below is a closeup of the hair (mentioned above) and jewelry I paired with this outfit. These earrings are are from Two Sisters Treasures and cost only $10L. TST has a large selection of items on sale for this price every month in addition to their other sensational jewelry creations. The bracelets were made by .aisling. and have been in my possession for a very long time. (Hey I’m old in SL!)

I showed these classic patent peeps in my last post but wanted to show them off again. partly because I love them; they are truly classic and can be paired with any number of dresses, gowns, or outfits. I also wanted to show them again to correct an error I made about the price. The price for the black patent peeps are $79L. If you would like to get the color change hud the cost is now $499. You can get them at Lindy Modern Retro & Modern Shoes. Psst – Lindy is also having a yard sale with shoes for SLink feet at the same location.

Well anyway, I’ve got on this great dress designed by Rowena Springflower. It’s named Kathy and comes with a color change HUD so you can choose the color depending on your mood. I had a lucky night and won it in a Midnight Mania Board! Rowena always designs beautiful outfits, gives out a lot of gifts and prizes, and her prices are very reasonable. And she’s an absolute doll!

Show Your Pride!

Dagnabmit I almost missed LGBT Pride Month! I guess it’s better late than never. To educate those of you who are not aware Gay pride or LGBT pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to promote their self-affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance. (Cited from Wikipedia)

I have many dear friends who are Gay or Lesbian and I would be remiss if I didn’t show my support for them. There are a large number of groups for LGBT people in SL.

I was reminded of this celebrations by Laney of Laney’s Boutique when she put out a free pair of Pride unisex jeans. Then I decided to shop for a flag and found the perfect one for only $50L at Flag Factory. The flags are very well made with true-to-life textures. This store has so many flags I think you can find any flag you would like to own. The free Blatex top from Me’LanGe was added to complete my outfit since I couldn’t find a top that had all the right colors. Black goes with everything, right?

Cre is wearing:

Pride jeans – Laney’s Boutique (Free Gift/No group needed)

Top – Me’LanGe Fetish Zipped Blatex (Gift Bag Fat Pack/Free/no group needed)

Here’s a closeup of the Pride colors on the back of the jeans. Isn’t my butt cute??

Toodles! Happy free shopping…
