I found a nifty “New To Me” design for us today: The Beautiful Ones. I stumbled across them and was delighted to see this super cute short dress was the freegroup gift for August. This is ‘Sue’ and it comes in the standard sizes S-L as well as appliers for Belleza Venus, Maitreya, and SLink Hourglas and Physique. This dress is also available in several other colors for regular price but the stunning turquois is a group member exclusive color. The Beautiful Ones group is a tiny little 25L to join but there are a ton of past gifts available. The past gift machine will ask you for 1L but will pay you back immediately. No room for more groups? You can still pick up past gifts for just 10L each.
August is drawing to a close so don’t delay if you want to pick up this great dress!

I don’t know what the weather is like in your part of the world but in my little patch of the Southern US… it’s hot! I’m living in shorts and tanks trying to keep my cool. Maybe that’s why I keep finding short sets to show off. And I found a super cute one today. This is the ‘Sky’ skirt and the ‘Jessa’ tank top both from Wicked. And both are free. The Sky denim skirt is the current group gift for Wicked. Sky comes in the standard Mesh sizes XXS-L, SLink Physique and Hourglass, Maitreya and Belleza Isis, Freya and Venus. And if that wasn’t enough, you get two skirts in the box: one with floral pockets and one with plain.
My tank top is also a group gift, one of several past gifts set out for us. Jessa comes in the standard Mesh sizes XXS-L and has a good alpha layer.
While you’re at Wicked, be sure to check out the lucky chairs and the Midnight Manias and the Hunts going on. I bet you’ll find something you like!

I guess I wasn’t quite ready to give up my 4th of July holiday spirit just yet. Especially when I saw the current group gift from Entice. This is the ‘Yankee Doodle’ tank and shorts set. The set can be worn separately and each piece is controlled by a HUD so you can choose from three colors/patterns. And talk about sizing… each piece comes in the standard Mesh sizes XXS-L, FitMesh sizes XXS-L, Maitreya, SLink and Belleza! There are separate alpha layers for the tank, the shorts and an ‘all in one’ alpha too.
The Entice group is free to join and when you do, you get access to group only Midnight Mania and other fun stuff. Don’t miss the group and non-group Midnight Mania boards, RezDay gifts and the Lucky letter boards while you’re there!

I’ve got a quickie for y’all tonight. Quick but sweet! Sweet Tea Couture has this gorgeous bustier top set out for the MidSummer Night’s Dream Hunt for just one little Linden. This is the ‘Wake Forest’ top and it comes in the standard Mesh sizes XXS-L and a ton of appliers. You get Maitreya, SLink Hourglass and Physique, Belleza Isis, Freya and Venus, and the Mesh Project. Like everything from Sweet Tea Couture, the Wake Forest is beautifully built and beautifully textured.
I needed something special to show off the neckline of my new top so I headed to the Luminesse Cart at the Bi Annual Cart Sale at the Wash. Ms Astrid showed us the ‘Sleeping cherub’ pendant from Luminesse here first. But the Cart has so many pretty things I had to have the ‘Ornamental Beauty’ necklace and earrings set in fern green and gold for my own. The necklace is fully resizable via script to get your perfect fit.
The MidSummer Night’s dream Hunt runs until July 21st but the Cart Sale ends on July 6th, so don’t delay!

I’ve got a lovely new-to-me designer to share with y’all today. This is the latest Group Gift from Rebel Hope Designs. I just love finding new designers, especially when their work is so well done. Like this cute dress: Amy. Amy comes in the standard Mesh sizes XXS-L and a whole plethora of appliers -> Maitreya, and the SLink Physique + Hourglass, as well as Belleza’s Isis, Freya and Venus. The HUD allows for ten color changes and four metals. I could go on and on about the great details all over this dress.. even on the back. But I’ll show it off instead.
I can see this becoming a staple in my closet! The best news… Rebel Hope Designs group is free to join!

I have a lovely little sundress for you today from Easterling. This is the ‘Milly Dress’ and it’s the 1L prize for the May Flowers Hunt. Milly comes with the tidy little flower embellished belt built in for ease of wear. You’ll find the standard Mesh sizes XS-XL as well as appliers for Maitreya, SLink and Belleza in the prize. The build is just perfect and I love the soft vintage feel of the print. I have a feeling this sundress is going to become a staple in my SL wardrobe.
I hope y’all are enjoying your weekend full of Spring hunts. I sure am! One of my favorite hunts is back this year: The Autism Awareness Hunt. I love anything that raises awareness of all of the folks on the “Spectrum” since I have two dear friends with little ones with Autism.
First on my list is this cute and sassy dress from Grumble. This is the “Strapless Zipper Mini dress” and it comes in FitMesh sizes XS-XL as well as SLink, Maitreya and Belleza versions.
I paired the dress with Livia’s “My Heart” nails, also for the Autism Awareness Hunt. ‘My Heart’ comes with six designs featuring the Autism Awareness signature blue and puzzle pieces. Livia has included appliers for SLink/Omega and Maitreya combo.
Wow, it’s been quite a day here on the blog with tons of freebies and cheapies and bargains!
So I had to toss my two cents worth in. Well, my 10L worth in!
This is the Starla dress and boots from Rowena’s Design’s Cart in the Spring Freshness Cart Sale at the Wash. This super cute tunic dress comes with a HUD for six color changes and comes in the standard Mesh sizes XS-L. And in Fitmesh sizes XS-L… and if that wasn’t enough… it comes with appliers for Maitreya, SLink Physique AND Belleza! Plus, the boots come with their own alpha layer and a HUD to match the colors of the dress. Oh? Not enough? The boot come in an unrigged version, regular sizes XXS-L and SLink for high feet.

Hi everyone! Sadly, the excellent Jack Or Jill Hunt is over. There is, however, at least one free prize a creator has left out for us straggling hunters, and it is not to be missed! The Little Bat offered the Grim Outfit W/Hud for the Jack Or Jill Hunt containing the Grim Jacket & Shirt shown above. The jacket is a one piece mesh combo featuring a simple denim jacket, well-textured and very realistic-looking over a foreboding skull T-Shirt. The Tee is texture change via included hud and offers you six color choices to choose from. I really appreciate it when designers offer us something with texture change options. It moves the items high up on my “Wanted” list. That isn’t all that is included in this free gift though! The Little Bat also throws in the jeans I am wearing in two styles: Straight and Tapered. Both versions come in five sizes as does the Jacket & Shirt combo, so getting a good fit will be a breeze. Run to get this item, it could be gone any minute!
Pru previously mentioned a store over at the shopping event called Swank here. Swank is a themed monthly sales event and this month the theme is “Luck Of The Irish”! There are free gifts and inexpensive gachas to be found there, so it is worth popping by for a visit. It just so happens when I was over there I found something I liked quite a bit! The Safety Vest – The Boss from Dita Couture is at The Swank Event on a Gacha for only 30L per play. It looks very realistic and while it isn’t something you would normally wear every day, it is definitely a fun item to pick up. It could come in very handy role-playing on Second Life or if you happen to be a male dancer, it could be part of a very sexy stage outfit. Either way, for only 30L it is something that deserves your consideration.
Also at The Swank Event are the free eyes I am wearing this week, the Ivernia Shamrock Eyes from Dulce Secrets. To show off how nice they are, I inset a close up on the top picture which hopefully does them justice. They are offered in both regular and Mesh versions and make for an excellent free gift to pick up. I collect eyes on SL and was thrilled to add these to my collection, I hope you will be too!
That’s it for me, now it’s time to wander off to first life for a while. I hope you all have some fun tonight on the grid, however you enjoy spending your time there. For now I will leave you my friends with my best wishes, have fun and see you on the grid very soon!—–WHC Riler

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Here we are in March with a whole new set of hunts and group gifts to pick up! When you do what I do, the beginning of a new month is always the most exciting period. Don’t forget what they say: March comes in like a rabbit, scurrying around picking up free gifts, and goes out like a rabbit, too! A much heavier one, weighed down with a glut of new inventory items, but still a rabbit!
Ashbury Designs is a very nice place to get male clothes. They are on my list of must visits at the beginning of a new month, and for good reason. Ashbury Designs‘ free group gifts have a way of making a home for themselves in my inventory and certainly their current one is a fine example. The Ace Military Shirt is a one piece mesh combo. Comprised of an open blue denim shirt with a very subtle camouflage pattern and a black T-Shirt, it is a simple look which looks very real-world plausible. Comfortable looking, it comes in 3 Mesh sizes, 2 Fitmesh and one Fitmesh for TMP bodies. The shade of blue of the shirt is beautiful and the detail and texture is extremely attractive! This is one free group gift you definitely should not pass up.
Lavarock has a new store and I am truly happy to welcome them back! For those of you who read my autobiography, you will recall I became a blogger partially because of a great free group gift Lavarock produced. I simply did not have enough friends on SL to tell about it, so I began blogging! I was thrilled when my editor, Andi, told me there was a new group gift in their store and I assure you it is excellent! The Urban Male Sneakers are a pair of Hi-top shoes for regular avy feet, so everyone can wear them if they like. In fact, since there is a woman’s version out in the women’s area at Lavarock as well, nearly everyone can wear them! They are Mesh and extremely cool. The most spectacular thing about them is the texture change hud! These sneakers come with a MONSTER HUD which gives you access to 15 sneaker textures, 5 laces, 5 tongues, 5 straps, 6 sock variations including hide and 2 sole colors. EPIC work on the hud, Lavarock. Thank you very much! For a free group gift, a hud like this is rare and these shoes are going to be keepers. Go get ‘em, people!
That’s all for me tonight. Rest assured I will be hopping around the grid picking up more freebies and cheapies tomorrow. Until then, I hope you take advantage of all the fun Second Life has to offer. See you on the grid!—–WHC Riler
