“Looks like a girl, but she’s a flameSo bright, she can burn your eyesBetter look the other way”

Now that this song stuck in my head I have a few more gifts to share with you today! There are so many events with gifts and hunts around the grid this month. It’s always fun to put to an outfit together with the gifts from these happenings, So let’s get to the details, why don’t we.

When you head over to Swank and join the free group you can grab oodles of gifts. One of the gifts that really caught my eye once I unpacked it is the Agni outfit from Luxe Paris. The package contains an entire outfit as pictured above. It has a top, pants, sleeves, heels, tattoos and even hair! Ordinarily this hair style wouldn’t turn my head but it really completes the look. Lots of details went into this outfit. You get to show a little skin with the cute cat tattoos on the upper arms. I think it’s a super fun look.

It’s All About the Red Dress

Lady in Red

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  In my last post {here}, I told you about a free dress that I picked up over at TRS Designs.  While shopping, I couldn’t help but notice another free group gift, so I’m back to share the Felicia Dress with you today.  As soon as I saw it, I immediately fell in love with its flirty fit and cheery color scheme.

Pretty in Polka Dots

Featuring double lace shoulder straps, a waistline accentuated with crimson band and a flared skirt that falls to the upper thigh, this dress is perfect for a party.   The bodice, which hugs your curves, has a wide v-shaped neckline, and is trimmed in the same red ribbon as the waist and hem.  With its brilliant background and darling dotty pattern, you’re sure to draw admiring glances your way.  The folder includes fitmesh for classic avatars as well as versions for mesh bodies, which makes this a versatile gift.  To grab a copy for yourself, you need to be a member of the TRS Designs group, but since it costs nothing to join, you can add this little number to your wardrobe completely for free.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Fitmesh in XS, S, M, L and XL
  • Mesh in XXS, XS, S, M, and L (no alpha layer)
  • Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
  • Ebody
  • Maitreya
  • Ocacin
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • TMP
  • Tonic Curvy and Fine

Ripley and I are off to see what other Fabulous Finds we can discover for our favorite readers.  Until my next post, happy shopping!

High Tides And Good Vibes

High Tides n Good Vibes

Happy Saturday, Fabulouses!  After my last post {HERE}, Ripley and I returned to Brii Underground’s Surf Girl Hunt and did some more sleuthing.  As a youngster, I loved collecting seashells, and this hunt revived childhood memories of trips to the shore with my family.  Under my parents’ watchful eyes, I would traipse up and down the beach, plastic pail in hand, gathering my briny “treasures.”

A Casual Outfit You Will Treasure

After I pried open the clam shell from Brii Underground, I uncovered the Leidiane Beach Outfit, which was perfect for a day of beach combing.  A pair of denim shorts and an island themed, cropped t-shirt, complete with palm trees, gulls, and crashing waves form the basis of the costume.  To ward off the brisk ocean breezes, a dark blue, plaid over shirt completes the look.  This is definitely the type of clothing I would choose for a weekend get away in real life – comfortable and carefree.  Since I have a habit of wading out into the water to gather the perfect mollusk for my collection, I chose to slip on flip flops rather than the light blue platform sneakers which are part of the hunt gift.  For only 1 little Linden dollar, you get a complete look packed inside that tiny shell!

What’s Included:

  • Fitmesh outfits for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink
  • Fitmesh for classic avatars in XS – XL
  • Mesh for classic avatars in XS – XL
  • Alpha layer for classic avatars
  • Leidiane Platform Sneakers (not shown)
  • Omega applier with make up for Catwa head (not shown)
  • Optional light (not shown)

Sadly, those precious days with my parents are now only in the past.  Lost in memories and nostalgia as I listened to the crashing ocean waves, I was glad to have my loyal pupster by my side.  When I am feeling blue, there is no greater comfort than the silent, devoted companionship of my sweet boy.  Until my next post, fabulous readers, happy shopping hunting!

~ Kat (and Ripley)

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!

Enchanted Oceane [2]

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.

Enchanted Oceane [1]

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.

Escaping, from the Winter Blues, in red!

While I am not one to complain about winter too much, being a true Canadian girl and enjoying winter, sometimes I do get tired of it. Thank goodness for SL! Whenever I get a touch of the winter blues, I log in, and find a pretty summery sim to visit. That is just what I did this morning 🙂 Best of all, it helped to show off a few goodies for you all!

redbeach1

It started with my earrings. When I logged in after work yesterday, one of the first notices I received was about a new group gift gacha for the really quirky and fun, Nathalie earrings, from Pure Poison! Naturally, I headed right over, threw on my group tag, and tried my luck. Lucky me, I got the rare Red Polka pair, but there are 7 different colours to win. The group is free to join, and all group members get 1 free play on the blue gacha machine. If you are not a member, or have already used up your one play and wanted a different colour, there is a green machine that you can play for L$50 a play.

The other free group gift I am showing off is this month’s women’s skin from 7 Deadly s{K}ins. I was originally going to show this off in a different post, but when I realized I was going to do a beach scene for this one, I knew this lovely, slightly sun-kissed skin would be perfect. In RL I don’t develop much of a tan, I guess that also shows me as a true Canadian, eh? LOL. So the January group gift from 7 Deadly s{K}ins was just perfect. This gift comes with SLink Hands and Feet, Banned, phatazz, and Tango appliers, and the skin comes in both a cleavage, and no-cleavage version. The group fee is only L$50 atm, however, it bounces all over the place, so if you haven’t joined yet, I would take advantage of this low fee before it’s raised up.

redbeach2

Lastly, a beach scene would not be complete without the perfect bathing suit. On a whim, I jumped into the Marketplace, searched for red, mesh, bikini, and on  the very first page of results was this really cute dollarbie from Chipmunk Clothing, HERE! I’m not familiar with this store, but after having a look through the rest of their offerings, most items being L$100 or under, I am glad I’ve found it. My bikini is mesh, as I wanted, and it fits perfectly, I actually didn’t even need to use the alphas for my size, which is medium. For only L$1, it is well worth giving it a try for yourself.

OK lovelies, I think I am going to hang around this beach for a little while more, as I just realized it is snowing outside….and I like the sun and sand much better. LOL!! I will be back soon though. So, until then, TTFN 🙂
