It’s Called Hairology, Chantal

Chantal

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I’m so glad you’re here, I have a lot to share with you! So rather than ease into the post, I’ll just get right to the good stuff starting with this absolutely beautiful group gift skin from 7 Deadly Skins. I love the look of this face on the Catwa Sofia head. Her name is Chantal and she’s the November group gift at 7 Deadly Skins. The beauty marks really make the skin for me. This generous gift includes Omega body/head appliers in each of the 7 skin tones. There is also a male skin group gift available. The 7 Deadly Skins group is 225 linden to join at this time, and there are monthly group gifts.

Hairology 2nd Anniversary Gifts

Yep, it’s anniversary time for Hairology, which of course means FREE hair. It’s hard to believe that Hairology is already 2 years old. I can still clearly recall when it was still being planned and put together. In celebration most of the Hairology participating designers have put out some pretty awesome FREE gifts. I know I picked up one from just about every booth and it’s quite possible I missed one or two. Rather than show each and every one, I decided to pick out four personal favorites. These gifts are completely FREE, no group needed, just click the Anniversary cake at each booth and pay zero linden.

• First, the Pink Hustler gift at Hairology is the cute little knit choker Pru is wearing in each of the photos. This FREE gift comes with a color change hud allows you to change the color of the knit part of the collar, the laces, and the metal bits. Most of the colors are in the realm of pastel, but there are some bold colors as well.
• Next, the hair pictured in the left photo is the FREE Hairology gift from RunAway. This gorgeous long hairstyle comes with a color hud that includes 9 edgy dip dyed/fade hair color options. There are 3 hair sizes for this style as well, fitted, boobs, and regular.
• The hairstyle pictured in the top photo and the center of the second photo is the Hairology gift from Analog Dog. I love these extra long wavy braids. With this FREE gift you’ll get the Rampion hair style with 8 color huds. Each hud has several color options. Also included is a set of classic system layer hair bases, and an optional flexi add-on for the wavy ends of the braids.
• Finally, the hair shown on the right in the above photo is the FREE gift at Hairology from Damselfly. Another long wavy style, this one is more tousled and full. This pretty hairstyle comes with a “Mixed and Faded” color hud that includes 40 (yes 40!) color options, most of which are a variation of blond, brunette, black, or red. The hair also comes in 2 sizes.

Glitter

Lastly, the cute little bodysuit Pru has on is a FREE gift from Glitter exclusively for Fabulously Free in SL group members. This kitty faced pink bodysuit with an applier hud, and classic system layers. As always the Fabulously Free in SL group is FREE to join. All you need to do to get your copy of this cute FREE gift is head over to Glitter, make sure to wear your Fab Free group tag, and click the gift vendor.

Going dotty

Help! The weather’s been so dotty lately.

I don’t know what’s going on but the weather’s been acting kinda strange recently. Not so strange that it’s raining literal cats and dogs (thankfully) but it seems as if it can’t make up its mind most of the time. Some days the sky is heavy with dark clouds while on others it’s surprisingly sunny for this time of year and on other days things can flip between the two at the drop of a dime. I just can’t figure it out but anyway, at least I’ve found an outfit versatile enough to keep up with all of this odd weather.

As they say, if you can’t beat them…

Join them! I’ve gone dotty as well with the Lily outfit from MOoH! (it’s so much fun typing out this store’s name). You can always count on classic prints to get you through the day and none are more classic, or classy when it comes down to it than black and white polka dots. Personally, I found that it paired off rather well with the prim cut of this collared dress. I like fantasy clothes as much as the next Second Life(r) but it’s always great to find something that I’d actually wear outside of this virtual world.

As you can see from the picture above there are two ways of wearing the Lily outfit. The dress itself is a sleeveless number (perfect for when the sun decides to show itself) and flatters your figure by being cinched at the waist by a white belt. The dress comes in five standard mesh sizes (XXS-L) and one fitmesh size so you can most certainly test it out on your mesh body should you own one. If it gets chillier (or if you just feel like rocking the cute librarian look) throw on the comfy, duel toned cardigan. I simply love the little bow that holds the two sides together, as it just adds to the girlish look of the whole outfit. The cardigan comes in five standard mesh sizes as well (XXS-L) and one fitmesh size. Both outfits have their own spiffy alpha layer and not only do they help with the fit, they also ensure that you can wear the cardigan with a separate outfit as well.

The Lily outfit is on sale at the MOoH! main store until the 26th of the month and is priced at 85L. That’s a little over the FabFree price cap but if you join the MOoH! group as I’ve already done (-crosses another thing off the bucket list-) you can take advantage of the free 150L gift card that’s available to members to get this dress for free. MOoH! has a one-time join fee of 100L but it’s a great investment in the long run as the gift cards are given out monthly. If you haven’t picked it up already, the new Fabulously Free in SL group gift at MOoH! has been changed out recently.

Heeled and tasseled

With Commander being a bit grumpy recently I’ve had to stay home to make sure he doesn’t get up to any mischief. Of course, that also means more time to poke about the SL Marketplace. I came across these pretty pair of strappy heels from Ferina’s Creations and immediately thought about wearing them with the Lily outfit. There’s nothing like wearing a bit of red with a monochrome outfit to make things pop. I simply adore the detail of the tassel on these heels though the best part about them is that you’ll only have to spend 1L to add them to your collection. Note however that these heels are made for Slink high feet only.

A little bit of bounce

It seems that I’ve been more inclined towards shorter hairstyles recently doesn’t it? It’s nice to switch things up for a change and it helps that there have been not a few great offers for shorter hairstyles. One such is the free gift that Analog Dog has out for the January round of Gacha Guardians. I’ve come to associate wild, fun curls with this brand and the Charlotte hair certainly did not disappoint. This bouncy hairstyle has a retro feel about it, acting as the perfect topper for the Lily outfit. In the gift package, you’ll receive a bald base, an alpha layer as well as an easy to use hud that lets you choose from twelve fantasy colors as well as control the ombre fades and tints of the hair. There are loads of other gifts out at the Gacha Guardians event and you’ll need to be part of the Gimme Gacha group to be able to scoop them up. Don’t worry though the group is free to join so all you need is a group slot and you’re good to go!

Another group gift

Speaking of free group gifts, there’s a new one currently out at Hello Dave. The pictures don’t do them any justice but the Spot Me manicure in nude that I’m wearing pairs up very nicely with the entire outfit as well. Personally, I find that Hello Dave puts out manicures with very interesting designs and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they change out their free group gifts on the regular too. The group is free to join as well so go ahead and treat yourself to a mani and pedi! Hello Dave nails work with Slink mesh hands and some mesh hands that are compatible with the Omega system. While you’re there at the store don’t forget to pick up the new Fabulously Free in SL group gift as well. Two of the sets have been blogged by Kat {HERE} and myself {HERE} and you can get a closer look {HERE}.

And that’s a wrap for today! The weather’s looking pretty dodgy again so I’m retreating back indoors. Oh, but before I leave, here’s a closer look at the Hello Dave group gift I was talking about.

Of flowers

Hello, once again dear Readers and welcome to the second edition of Edi’s Costume Ideas. I know, I know it’s probably not the snazziest of segment names but let’s get down to business, shall we? Today I bring to you the fantastically flowery Day of the Dead corset. This dramatic outfit is the new group gift from BlueMoon Enterprise and one that you can snap up for free just by joining the group. There is no sign-up fee so all you have to do is click and enjoy! With its color scheme of deep reds and blacks, this outfit is certain to be eye-catching.

I love the wonderful extras that come along with this gift. Together with the mesh corset, you will receive mesh garters, a mesh lace necklace, and panties just to name a few for starters. Aside from the panties, which comes in only system layers the corset, garters and necklace come in five standard mesh sizes (XXS-L). Don’t worry about anything poking out though as both the corset and necklace come with spiffy alpha layers. Now comes the fun part, as you can choose to wear the outfit as is or add a bit of flowery flair to it using the different flower attachments that can be found in the package. Points of attachments are the waist, neck, and hair (not pictured) and you can mix and match to your heart’s content.

If by any chance the outfit is not already dramatic enough for you, you can add the waist sash and the train. In this age of mesh that we all live our Second Lives in I must admit that I don’t have a lot of flexi things in my inventory but the train is so much fun and I love the way it moves and swishes behind you.

To tie the whole look together I put on the White Stag mask from Hextraordinary that you can get by playing the store’s gacha machine at the Salem macabre market and gacha gallows. It’s 50L per play and there are so many great masks up for grabs. I’ll probably be heading over again just to see if I can win one of the rare ones! And speaking of gacha, the hair pictured is from Analog Dog’s latest offering at The Epiphany. I’m a lover of odd colors and tints for hair and was very pleased that this one comes with a number of different highlights.

However, if you don’t feel like wearing a mask, the Day of the Dead outfit comes with its own makeup layer. It’s aptly named Sugar Skull and it’s eye-popping colors stand out even if, like me, you’d like to hide in the shadows for a while.

Well! I’m off to see if there are other costumes to sniff out. Wish me luck and I’ll catch you later!

Have a Holiday Ball!

I stopped by the North Pole to see Santa but Rudolf left me holding the Ball! It was well worth it though, as I have some tips for you on great gifties!

My fun festive gown is the holiday gift at Glitteri by Sapphire! It is FREE with your group tag and the group is only 100L to join. The gown includes both system layers as well as all the important body appliers such as Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP, and even a pair of cute feather and bell earrings! The fee is well worth it, as there are lots of past group gifts to pick up, and the gifts are plentiful and frequent!

My fun hair is today’s FREE advent gift if you make your way to the Kittycats advent calendar. Maybe Rudolf will give you a sleigh ride that direction? Maybe! It is courtesy of Analog Dog Hair and called Sardine. It comes with detachable bangs and in blondes, reds, and browns (all with tintable huds so you can get it just about any color you want!).

My super cute pose is also an advent giftie! If you sleigh ride you way over to Eternal Dream Poses, my pose (with the adorable red holiday ball too!) is yours for just 10L or FREE if you are a member of the Eternal Dream Poses group. The group is 200L to join but there will be 24 advent gifts total, with other group gifts throughout the year later of course!

Well I’m off to decorate! And maybe warm up. My nose is nearly as red as Rudolf’s from this cold. I think hot cocoa is in order! 😀

An Enchanted Oceane

The Enchantment Hunt drew me back again, as well as the chance to show off some fabulous goodies at two other stores. If your into cosplay or fantasy roleplay… this is your month to make away like a bandit — or mermaid as the case may be!

I recently checked out the FREE Ball at Analog Dog and discovered it had been updated. There are a few new styles inside, including this great rigged mesh style called Lolly all for FREE. It comes in light reds with a color change hud and though you have to hunt for the nearly transparent bubble at the back of the sim, it’s well worth the search!

I also stopped by Oceane and played the in-store Gachas which had some really wonderful prizes for lovers of fantasy avatars! My Oceane Lauren Fantasy Skin in Blue was a 75L gacha prize and was just perfect for this underwater look — but don’t hesitate to check this one out even if blue is not your color, because the gacha had 19 total colors as possible prizes. It does not come with appliers, but don’t let that deter you. I usually have a difficult time matching skins without them, but was able to match this skin to my Slink hands within minutes because the shading near the wrists is made to blend so easily.

I also played the Oceane Fairytale Lips gacha and landed the Rainbow Rare hook line and sinker to add to my skin. Woot! It was only 50L per spin and added a nice touch to this fantasy skin.

And all mermaids have to eat, yes? If you peek at the picture below, my fun Swallow Yum Fishie (20 possible colors) was a 15L Gacha prize also from Oceane.

And the Enchantment hunt continues, but only until September 5th, so be sure to make your final rounds to pick up the fabulous gifts before you miss out. In this post, I’m showcasing a few more for you! These two poses are the FREE hunt gifts from [Black Tulip] called Ariel. Astrid’s stunning mesh mermaid tail and bra are the FREE Enchantment gift from Mer-Chandise Cove.

You’ll have to look a little closer at the pictures to catch the final gifts I’m showing, but I’ve always been a firm believer that small details are what make an avatar stand out. My pink nose piercing (which comes with a color change hud offering over 20 color options as well as options to change glow, glossiness, and and brightness) is the FREE Enchantment Hunt Gift from Gaeline Creations.

If you take a swim by no.Match, you’ll be able to pick up this gorgeously detailed Mermaids Hairpin as their FREE offering for the Enchantment Hunt. And last (but certainly not least) Astrid’s mysterious, come-hither eyes are a FREE Enchantment Hunt gift from antielle. There are six generous color choices in the package, though I’m wearing the blue.

Country Girl Tonight

Bringing something fresh and refreshing.

I feel rocking tonight. I feel like dancing and singing a country song today. My morning was very refreshing and happy which is why I brought all the fabulouses this outfit by Kaithleen’s which is a cute emerald dress as a Group gift and the group if free to join.

I have paired this outfit with a pair of brown boots to set a country mood. These boots are a group gift by Tukinowaguma. There are many other shoes too as I showed some of the shoe in my earlier post. The Hair I’m Wearing is a free gift from Analog Dog which you can find at the back of the store for free. No group join needed to get these hair. These hair were blogged by Love Trill here.

My pose in this pic is also free and it is from Baby Cutie Poses. There are two other poses in the pack too.

Happy Shopping everyone.

My Cheeky BFFs and Me

I picked up this cute Best Friends Forever Pose at [Kikay] whilst out on The 8th Unknown Hunt, and asked Fab Bloggers and all-around great gals Love Trill and Pru Rexroth to come and help me show it off. These ladies are truly good sports, patiently waiting while I played with windlight and my computer coughed and sputtered (eventually booting me out of SL). Thankfully, The Cheeky Tiramisu Cafe sim is all decked out for autumn, so the ladies had something pretty to look at while they waited. However… when Love started threatening the wildlife, I knew it was time to wrap things up. Anyway, the pose is very sweet, and I think everyone’s fannies look perfect!

I wasn’t going to show you the front of my outfit, since it kind of doesn’t match, but I finally decided that the sweater was too cute not to show you. The I ❤ Animals sweater is the September group gift from Strawberry Jam. There are a few other gifts available, so be sure to stop by! My skirt is T8UH gift from Fabouzz. I should warn you that it is mesh and runs verrrrry small. I typically wear a standard size XS in mesh, but believe it or not, I’m wearing a large here. My mouse ears are a previous The Arcade Gacha item from [Auxiliary], and I have no idea why I felt the need to wear them, except that I thought they sort of fit the mood of my mish-mashed ensemble! 😉

Credits for what Love and Pru are wearing are below.

The 8th Unknown Hunt runs until November 30, 2013, and all items are free. You can see my previous coverage of this event here.

All Rainbows and Unicorns

Why, yes I DO like to walk around town with a rainbow-colored unicorn bear. Doesn’t everyone? 😉

Actually, my cute, little friend here is helping me show off some of the great freebies to be found at Seraphim Headquarters as part of the Seraphim Turns Two birthday celebration. I made it over there about a month or so ago, but I haven’t had a chance to get back again until recently. And guess what? All the great gifts are STILL THERE! In addition to my Pooki Bear friend, you can also pick up FIVE different dresses by Liv-Glam, including this sexy number, which is HUD driven and comes in 6 different pantone colors (Love showed another of the dresses here). You do have to join the Seraphim in-world group, but it’s free, so no worries. My shoes by *BOOM* are not free, but are a great deal for 88L at Collabor88… hurry though, because the new round starts in just a couple of days!

This gorgeous jewelry set is the current group gift from Virtual Impressions (free to join). And my mani/pedi? Another gift at Seraphim HQ, this time from Flair. Eight different colors are included for fingers and toes so you can match. Lots of great gifts at Seraphim HQ, so don’t miss out! 😀

Sweet Petite Serena

When I saw the name of this gift, I knew I had to blog it. I mean, I don’t meet people named Serena very often, but to find a cute, petite outfit by that name is rare indeed! 🙂

Anyway, Joelle Bartfield of Sweet Petites is celebrating her 5th Rez Day and is giving us a gift: these Serena Strapless Tops and Knee Shorts in three jewel-toned colors. You’ll find the gift inside the store under the stairs – no group-join is needed. Happy Rez Day, Joelle – and thank you! 😀

My shoes were not free, but were a fabulous deal: 22 different colors for 50L. So that’s… [grabs calculator]… roughly 2.27L per pair! With all the color choices, I think they’ll be a terrific petite wardrobe addition for spring and summer. And you know how hard it is to find petite shoes! Grab these Pooka’s Flip Flops on the Marketplace.

*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….
