Here’s another men’s gift from the Runway Perfect Hunt #5.  Second Life is for letting us do things we never could in RL, so for those of us who never made a varsity team in any sport now we can at least look like we did.

This outfit is the RPH5 male gift from CHG Fashion.  It includes a tee (jacket layer) plus rigged mesh jeans with belt, hat, jacket (in both open and zipped looks), and sneakers  – a complete outfit for only $5L.  In case you’re wondering about the purple and gold colors, the jacket and hat are the team colors for a U.S. professional basketball team, the Los Angeles Lakers, with the team logos and name carefully changed.  But despite the basketball symbolism, I’m showing it to you as a varsity football player (that’s the U.S. version of “football”) because I like the poses.

If you ladies want to color-coordinate with the varsity guy in your life, CHG has a female gift in the RPH5 too.  You’ll find the same outfit in the women’s prize along with a color coordinated mini-dress cheerleader outfit.  And, no, I’m not going to model the mini-dress for you.

This is for all the Fab Free guys out there who think Menstuff and Make Him Over are the only hunts where men can find high quality, free or nearly free items.  Love, Xia and Xiu have been blogging The Runway Perfect Hunt #5 gifts.  Yes it’s true that most of the 51 stops on it have female gifts, but a couple of them have men’s prizes.  Today I’m showing you two gifts guys can pick up from RPH5, plus a couple of other freebies.

The Cayman outfit in sandstone is from 69 Park Ave GQ and features a jacket layer shirt, brown mesh pants, and dress shoes – a complete outfit for only $5L.  It’s a nice casual outfit for an evening out or at home with your lady.  And while you’re looking around the store for the gift be sure to check out the group gift. 69 Park Ave GQ gives out nice ones and they change frequently, so it’s well worth the small joining fee to get them.  The pose is one of five male poses offered by KaTink in the RPH5.

I’m Blossom-ing

Happy Sunday, Fabulouses! I’ve been dying to see some spring, so I decided to show you this gorgeous Blossom gown and headpiece, which are the March group gift from Finesmith Jewelry. :-) And just as I was finishing up these photos, I got a note that the April group gift is out at Finesmith, so be sure to pick that one up too, while you’re there! My pose is from the March gift pack at Diesel Works Animations, originally shown by Skyler here. Be sure to grab yours before the gift is gone!

This pretty Mimi skin by Belleza is still available at The Arcade Gacha Event. I’m wearing makeup #3 (rare); Love showed #9 here. I have added a glossy lipstick by Lumae, which you can find in a free pack of 6 colors at The Skin Fair. Last day for both events is TODAY, so hurry over! BTW, I am smiling ever-so-slightly for the FabFree Photo Challenge #7: Show Us Your Smile. Sadly, I’m a day late for the challenge, but hey, better late than never, right? :-D

Happy Birthday Caresia Adored

Hey Fabulouses!  Its a gorgeous sunny weekend, and I am spending as much of it as I can outside, but I got a message about such a wonderful surprise I had to stop by to tell you about it before it was gone!  You simply must head over to La Noir Soleil Designs because today is Caresia Adored’s birthday and she has a special gift FOR YOU!  In store, today only (03/16/14), you can pick up an instore credit of 250L.  You don’t have to join the group or the subscribomatic (unless you wanna!), just touch the birthday box!  I of course have no control, and spent it right away on hair!  I picked up the Adonia Blonde Hair Pack shown today and had three lindens on credit left.

While you are down there you might as well do a little hunting too!  They are participating in a couple hunts and there are icons hidden around the store.  Once you locate the Pot of Gold hunt icon, and pick it up for 0L, you’ll have the stunning Chained Coins Headdress I am wearing that goes great with new new Adonia Hair!  This hunt gift comes with a texture change hud to allow for six stone colour changes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARE!  Thank YOU for the lovely gift!

A walk in the woods

I’m not sure about everyone else here in the Northern hemisphere, but personally I am hoping and praying for warm weather to finally arrive soon. Early spring is a great time for a walk in the woods, wearing your comfiest clothes. This cozy looking hoodie is this month’s group gift at !go! It looks adorable worn alone, or with a tank layered underneath. (as seen here) Also for a limited time there is another color of this same hoodie on sale for half off in their main store, so it’s a great time to pick up another color of hoodie if you find you like this one.

The Love Hamster

Look who I found wandering around the garden: the Love Hamster! ;-) Ok, I know Valentine’s Day is over, but I just couldn’t resist showing you this little cutie, a Valentine’s VIP group gift from BIRDY. He comes with a HUD so you can change the sentiment on his heart (mine says “XOXO”). Both my dress and eyes are group gifts from Avi-Glam, and my jewelry is a group gift from Lazuri. The jewelry is also HUD-driven, with 6 metals, 10 heart gems, and 10 small gems.

Love me on Friday

Happy Valentine’s day everyone! Thank goodness it’s Friday! It’s also a full moon, so I guess today anything is possible. It’s always a great friday when Belleza has one of their skins on special for 50L Friday! This skin is called FLF Spring Skin. It is available today in their store for only 50L. Also 50L for just today is this “LOVE ME” traveller shirt by BOOM. It looks comfy and is great for a cute casual Valentine’s day outfit. It is also available in  black. (not shown) I really am a jeans and t-shirt girl at heart, so this is perfect for me.
