On a Sizzling Summer Day

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  After a bit of shopping down at The Wash, Ripley and I headed down to the Baja Shore sim with dreams of the west coast on our minds.  Oh how I’d love to be going to the beach in RL this week!  We’ll have to make do with some SL sand and sea instead.  Thanks to our trip to the Sizzling Summer Sale, I am wearing an adorable top that is perfect for a sunny summer day.

California Dreaming

At the Dark Water Designs display, I happily scooped up the California Dreams top in blue for just 10 Linden dollars.  Featuring a strapless design which knots in the front and a cheerful floral print, this little number will have you ready to soak up some rays and feel the ocean breeze caressing your shoulders.  The pattern of the fabric is just so pretty with its white and pink flowers scattered across a pale aqua blue background.  If you’d prefer a different color combination, there are three other patterns to choose from – all priced at a budget-friendly 10 Linden dollars each.  The event runs until July 24th, so you still have plenty of time to visit.

Mesh Body Compatibility: 

• Ebody Curvy
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Venus

Until my next post, happy shopping!

~ Kat (and Ripley)

Walk Lightly On The Earth

Hello Fabulouses!  Ripley and I traveled down the path of the Save Earth Hunt and discovered this cute casual outfit over at The Sissy Bar.  It’s perfect for a warm spring day spent exploring the beach, and it costs just 1 Linden dollar plus a bit of time spent searching.

There is No Planet B

This hunt is all about creating awareness about Save Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22nd.  The prizes all bring to mind the saying “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle,” and are related to nature and the environment.  I just love the circular tree design on this comfy top, and the way the back is loosely tied at the top and dangles open below.  It’s just so pretty!  The gray shorts feature a coordinating leaf print in light green and blue.  Each piece is worn separately, so you can mix and match with other items from your wardrobe for added flexibility.   I can see myself wearing this Fabulous Find over and over.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Ebody
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass
• TMP
• Tonic Curvy and Fine

I hope you are having a fantastic weekend.  Until next time, happy hunting!

The Beach is Calling

Hey There Fab Free! I’ve got the car packed, a picnic basket, my swimsuit, and I am ready for some sand and surf. I am definitely one of those people who feels like the sea calls to them. There’s something about it, and no other body of water will do. I need the salty sea air and the rolling ocean waves.

Gently Down The Stream

The Wash Cart Sale is underway and there are tons and tons of 10L fabulous finds!  Today I am gently floating down the stream in three items I picked up at the Tiar display.

Tiar Leeas Top – 10L!!

The Leeas Top by Tiar comes in mesh body specific sizes for Maitreya, Slink Physique & Hourglass, Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus, as well as TMP.  Included is a 6 texture option HUD so you can match it up with whatever bottoms you decide to wear with it!

Tiar Sexy Shorts – 10L!!

You won’t need to go far to find some great shorts to go with the Leeas Top…  The Tiar Sexy Shorts are also available at The Wash Cart Sale for 10L.  These hot shorts come in mesh body specific sizes for Maitreya, Slink Physique & Hourglass, Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus, as well as TMP.  I am wearing a denim floral print, but it also offers a camouflage option via an included HUD.

Tiar Woman Keds – 10L!!

Who doesn’t need a pair of basic sneakers?  These are keepers!  for just 10L you can pick up the Woman Keds (resize), and they include a HUD for 10 different prints and solids.  They don’t say exactly which feet they work with, however I am wearing my Maitreya Lara Feet and they fit with no adjusting.  I imagine they would work with most feet as it includes a resize opton.

Beachin

Hey there Fabulous Readers!  It’s another gorgeous hot and sunny Second Life day again today.  He’s resting up today, still recovering from his wild medical ride, but I needed some fresh air.  I’ll bring him back a milkshake on my way home!  🙂

It was just pure luck that I came across this beachy fun outfit as a free group gift as I was about to TP to Baja Shore for some sandy goodness.

Seriously…  All this is free!

At DM, you can join the FLG inworld group (which is free to join), and slap the vendor in the group gifts section to obtain the Summer Set that includes the skirt, top, flip flops, sunglasses and the bag!  You’ll be fully dressed – all for free! If this news wasn’t fantastic enough on it’s own, you should know that there is a texture change HUD included for the top, skirt and bag that allows for a pastel print, and a texture change HUD that includes SIX different prints for the flip flops!  The sunglasses are available in red and blue.

Sizes included:

• Flip Flops: Maitreya, Slink, Belleza

Pick Up! I’m Calling You On My Banana Phone

The banana phone is not necessarily a very effective mode of conversation, however it’s worth a shot when nothing else works and if it still fails at the very least – onlookers will be entertained.

In this blog post I have news about a new group gift at Poeme and also am revisiting Just Ordinary to show off a free instore group gift.

More of the extraordinary

I had recently blogged a Fitmesh Fanatics group gift that is available at Just Ordinary and if you liked that one shown here – you’ll love this one too!  The Char Dress in Denim Flowers that you see me wearing today is available as a free gift for Just Ordinary inworld group members (free to join!)

Dress Sizes Included:

• Mesh XS – L + Alpha Layer
• Fitmesh XS – L
• Maitreya
• Slink
• Belleza
• Tonic

Now About Those Shoes…

When you join the Poeme inworld group (has a 1L group join fee), you gain access to the Double Happy Roses Chucks in the floral Rhyme print.  They were just what I needed for today’s ensemble, so it was perfect timing that I came by them!

Shoe Sizes Included:

• Maitreya
• Unrigged + Alpha Layer

Just One Last Thing!

The Endless Summer Hello Sunshine pose that I am using today includes the bananas (for making phone calls of your own) and is available in an instore gacha at 50L per play at Le Poppycock!

Lessons Learned and Freebies Found

A five star resort they said!  Expansive sandy beach, luxury spa, valet service, free wifi, turn down service, air conditioning, indoor and outdoor pools as well as lush green gardens.  It all sounded so perfect for an impromptu overnight mini-vacation to unwind and be pampered.  The real excitig news is that it was HALF PRICE!  I threw some of my essentials in an overnight bag,  got dolled up for my fancypants adventure, and blew goodbye kisses to the furbabies…

I was dressed to the nines!

Thanks to a couple of fabulous freebies, I was dressed to the nines.  I had found the Tracy Strapless Dress, designed by Gizza at Mimi’s Choice priced at 0L in a gift box on the floor.

Sizes included:

• XXS-L Mesh + Alpha Layer
• Maitreya
• Slink
• Belleza

My Snazzy Gems

This Glittz Zania Jewelry Set that includes the necklace and earrings on my avatar comes with a texture change HUD that allows you to change the colour of the gems, pearls and metal.  It is available as a free group gift at Tres Chic with a free group join.

Upon Arrival…

/me takes off her hat and looks around…  Am I in the right place?  I checked my phone to double check the address…  It would appear the lush green gardens are growing out of those old rusted out cars behind me and the pool as a family of ducks living in it -.-.  I have been tricked by the magic of the interwebs…  once again!  I guess it’s true what they say in regards to hotels …  You get what you pay for.  I suppose I’ll have to make the best of it!
