Hello Fabulous Readers! One of the hardest things to adjust to when I moved south in RL was a “snowless” holiday. For the first few years, it just didn’t seem the same without cold weather and white flakes drifting down. Now, I’m not sure how I would adjust to the bitter temperatures I grew up with, and the RL Ripley has never even seen snow. Would he gaze up in wonder and dig like mad in the white stuff like his SL version does? One of these days, we will have to make the trip up to the mountains to see.
We Go Together Like Winter and a Sweater
My adorable knitted dress and shrug are a free gift from PaperMoon Creations for their group members. Since the group has a 0L join fee, I was able to scoop up this set completely for free! I love the cheery combination of white and red. You can pair the two pieces together as I have done in my snapshot, or wear them separately. The dress features a high neckline, spaghetti shoulder straps and a white Nordic-style border below the waistline. With a slightly faded hue, the texture in the frock is well done, and looks like real yarn. The open weave of the shrug allowed the top of the dress to peek through, but also provided welcome warmth down my arms. I didn’t try pairing it with other tops/dresses, but since it can be donned by itself, it could be added to your separates collection for added versatility.

Eight other past free group gifts are still on the wall for members to scoop up, so if you haven’t visited PaperMoon Creations before, here’s a chance to add a whole collection of free outfits to your wardrobe. Until my next post, happy shopping!
Last night while I was working on my previous post, I received a notice from the Label Motion subscribo, and attached to it was a new subscribo giftie! As soon as I was able to, I opened the gift up, and inside was a set of the yummiest, sweetest looking, flavoured hot drinks imaginable. So, of course I had to share them with you 🙂
The Label Motion – My Hot Drinks folder has 4 different flavours for you. Each flavour has its own hand pose that will work with your own poses, and even with your AO. Just make sure you are in your pose, or have your AO on, and then attach whichever yummy drink you feel like. They immediately made me want to be in front of a fireplace, with a warm, snuggly sweater on. Luckily, The Millhouse Beanery Coffee House had a great fireplace for me to get cozy in front of! So, if you are not already on the Label Motion Subscriber list, just head to the store, and slap the board, and within a minute, your free gift will be delivered to you. Oh, and don’t forget to grab the bag on the floor in front of the desk, there are loads of old gifts in there, for only L$10.
Now I just want to snuggle into a comfy chair in front of a fire, too bad I don’t have a fireplace for real…oh…but my Mom does! Do I dare venture out in the cold just for that? LOL. I think I’ll stick with my warm blanket and a hot chocolate. OK, until next time, TTFN!

My little corner of Second Life is starting to warm up (a little), but it’s still cold enough for an afternoon of ice skating. I’m such a klutz and tend to spend more time on my fanny than I do upright. But Gavin played hockey in high school and still gets around pretty well on his old skates. Duncan, my Great Dane, is such a protector… he’s not sure yet how he feels about Gavin, but would rather not get his paws all cold and wet, so he keeps watch from the sidelines. Good thing… I’d probably fall on him anyway! 😳
Today I’m wearing a super-cozy, mesh sweater dress, the Cold Winter Nights Hunt prize from !gO! (there is also a male version in the box). All prizes in this hunt are 10L, and will be available until February 15th. Gavin’s sweater is the Winter Wonderland Hunt gift from Rispetto Designs. WWL Hunt gifts are free (0L) and are available until February 15th. Completing the look, Gavin added a pair of mesh jeans, also from Rispetto Designs, which you can still find under the Christmas tree for a few more days (hurry!). His texture-change scarf is a free gift from ::[MrPoet]::. And those hockey skates? The CWNH prize from [ Organica ]. I picked up this cute pose at the Valentine’s Sale at Glitterati Poses; all couples and friend poses are on sale until February 21st.
The skin I’m in today is the Femboy Hunt gift from .::WoW Skins::. This is a female skin that comes with and without cleavage. Prizes in the FBH are 2L, but you’ll need to hurry because the hunt ends today! I picked up my cute hair for 70% off at the [Elikatira] Retirement Sale. EVERYTHING in the store is on sale until February 23rd, and then everything will be retired. So don’t miss this fabulous sale! Oh, and my earrings, which you can barely see, are a dollarbie from Addiction Jewelry. You’ll find them in a gift box on the table when you walk in.
Gavin’s skin is the Xmas Gift in the male group gift box from -Belleza- (250L to join); it comes in several different shades. The pose he’s in behind me is from a pack from last week’s Fifty Linden Friday by Glitterati Poses. It was still available at the 50L price as of this afternoon, but it won’t be there tomorrow, I’m sure!
I’d better go save him now… I think Duncan is giving him the evil eye!
Today is day 5 of theLE LOOK! celebrations and we are being treated to the unveiling of some gorgeous shoes for both male and female to add to the ever growing full avatar release. The male shoes are created by Hoorenbeek and the female shoes are by Bax Coen. Both are in neutral colours so you will be able to incorperate them into your current wardrobe aswell as wear them with the previous released pieces of the avatars clothing.
To get them… follow the same drill as usual! Join theLE LOOK! group, wear the tag and tp to the sim. I’ve been told that people are arriving with their back to the signs so this might be causing confusion for some. Basically, there are two huge white boards that will rez and they have a big picture of a male and a female avatar with other smaller pictures of items around them. Click each of the pictures to get the previous releases aswell as the current one while wearing the group tag then sit and wait patiently for your items to arrive. You only need to click the pictures ONCE otherwise it will cause confusion and lead to longer waiting times.. and please please please go UNPRIMMED and without AO’s or other such HUDS to speed up delivery times.
Now on to the pics:
Here you can see how the avatar is really coming together. I am wearing all of the previous releases aswell as the new boots by Bax Coen.
The previous releases are the skin by LeLutka, the hair by Maitreya, the leggings by Source, the shorts by Beauty Avatar and the sweater by Zaara. I am wearing my own shape, but there is a shape as part of the package which was created by LE LOOK!
Nao is also wearing all of the previous releases aswell as the new male boots by Hoorenbeek.
The previous releases are the skin by Belleza, the hair by Find ASH, the pants by Redgrave and the sweater by WMD. Nao is wearing his own shape but there is a male shape as part of the package which was created by LE LOOK!
