Dress Code

It’s time to hit the books!  September always brings the excitement of back to school, new pencils, new activities and new friends.  I love the whole back to school vibe, though it seems I’m wearing a little less than I most likely should in a classroom setting…hmmm…

Dream On

My somewhat small top and skirt (get out your rulers!) are lucky board prizes that I picked up over at Dreams Store.  They’ve got quite a few cute mix and match items up on the wall, so you’re sure to find a nice outfit with just a bit of patience.  The tube top comes in black, and the skirt comes with 20 different colours to choose from in the HUD.  To get your own, join the Dreams Store group for free, then wait for your letter to come up!

I Wake Up Thinking of You

Good Morning sleepyheads!  This is your wake up call to go forth and be awesome!  Do you have a special someone who makes you melt a little inside?  I sure do, and these super cute pyjamas give me all the feels and make me think of that certain person.  Uh-oh, hearts may erupt from my eyeballs soon if I’m not careful…

OMG! OMG!! Cuteness Overload

I’m Back!! I’ve got the goodies to show you today! There have been numerous events with gifts; unpacking & sorting ALL of it will have to wait.

Do you know about Nilsy?

A few years ago I was introduced to the Nilsy Store. If you’re into lacey, frilly, pretty textures this is the place for you. Nils, owner & designer, offers clothing that can take you from beach time to clubbing.

My outfit today is a free gift at the store. The store group is free to join; there is also a subscriber that won’t take up a group. Either way you’ll get all the news about new items and free gifts. There are 3 lucky chairs and a MM board to the right of the entrance; no group is needed for these. I picked up 3 other outfits from the Lucky Chairs.

The Tied Bikini Top & Mini skirt is entirely free and can be found at the back of the store behind the stairs. I love the embroidery details on the top!

Sizes included:

• Maitreya
• Belleza
• SLink HG & Phy
• Tonic Curvy & Fine
• Classic Body

The rest of the Stuff

This playful hairdo is a free gift by bonbon I picked up at the FLF Backyard Birthday Bash.  The Junko hair comes in a single color – Pink Ombre and it’s so stinking cute!

My cute little shoes come courtesy of Phedora! Another free FLF Backyard Birthday Bash gift, the Shelbie heels comes with a 20 color Fatpack HUD!! What a great gift! The shoes are fitted for Maitreya, Kupra, Belleza, Legacy. & Slink.

There is still plenty of time left to stuff your inventory.

A Touch of Crystal Magic

It’s that time of the year for one of my favourite events!  The Crystal Heart Festival is here – complete with magic, sparkles, and about 40 million Sailor Moon references.  It’s always an exciting event to wander around, because there are loads of pretty creations to drool over.  If you’re not in the mood to spend any Lindens though, I’ve got some great news – plenty of freebies to be had!

Space Girl

Everything kawaii, sweet and sparkly is what really attracts me to The Crystal Heart Festival year after year, but I also do have a special place in my heart for Sailor Moon since it was such a big thing when I was in High School.  You’d often find me singing “Fighting Evil by Moonlight…” while wondering exactly why the girls were always dressed as sailors.  Anyway, you don’t need to join a group to pick up the lovely free gifts at The Crystal Heart Festival, just click on the little pink heart-shaped boxes at the stalls (most will have one, but not all) and then revel in the cuteness within.  Here’s what I’ve got on!

• FREE Hair by Love in 12 fantasy colours and an RGB input HUD
• FREE Skirt by Loki sized for Maitreya bodies
• FREE floating animated orb by Petrichor (it’s soooo mesmerizing)
• FREE shoes by Exia sized for Maitreya and Legacy

The Crystal Heart Festival just opened, so it’s quite busy at the moment.  If you can’t get in right away, don’t despair – it’s running until August 27th

Have fun!

Not the Birthday Girl

It’s not my birthday, nor is my birthday close, but today I feel a bit like the birthday girl.  I love days when I get to wear a crown, be the centre of attention and have people lavish me with cupcakes.  I feel like I could get used to this, for no special reason other than some days it’s good to celebrate being alive and being a day wiser.

It’s Fab and it’s Free

I’m showing off two FabFree group gifts today, because when  you look through our listing HERE you’ll note that there really are some awesome free things to pick up.  My first stop was No Shot where I grabbed this cute tee.  There are also male sizes in the box, so it’s good for our Fab gents too!  Plus I think this may just be my new motto.  I also swung by Birth to grab their FabFree group gift, which is this cool crown.  It comes in two different versions – this one that sits right atop my head, or an animated spinning one which is quite the conversation starter.  Of course, the FabFree group is always free to join and our gifts are always being updated.

Journal Musing

I was having a conversation with Arielle yesterday about how much we both love stationery.  I am the sticker queen (I have far too many to ever use, but they just make me happy) and she is the pen queen.  We’ve both come to the realization, however, that we’re both obsessed with journals.  You know, the really pretty ones that you have no idea what you’re going to write in, but you still buy it because *sssooooo prettyyyyy*.  Yeah, well now I’ve got journals in SL that I surely won’t write in, but I have to have anyway!

Non-Sequitur

My little journal rant has nothing to do with my outfit (I mean, other than the journals I’m holding, obviously), but my sweet top and skirt were putting me in the mood for being artistic and such.  They’re the latest group gift from Maai, and they’re completely free.  Aren’t the little heart buttons adorable?  I can’t even.  Join the Maai group for free, then click on the vendor at the landing point and they’re all yours!

Sizes

• Kupra
• Maitreya

Are you a journal hoarder too?

Love is Free

It’s Valentine’s Day eve, and that means that you’ve got to sort out all your bits and bobs.  By sort out your bits and bobs, I clearly mean settle on one of the bajillion gorgeous outfits that have been placed out as gifts, hunt items, discounts…my head is spinning with all the possibilities.  I found some really lovely items that came together as a strong contender for my final option for V-Day, but knowing me…I’ll probably change 5 times in a night anyway!

Short and Sweet

There’s a new group gift at Osmia!  I just love it when that happens!  This pretty pink and heart-covered dress is just what I needed for a night of romance (there are also lots of other colours in the HUD if you are not a pink person).  I particularly enjoy the little lace trim around the hem.  The best part is that this pretty dress is completely free!  Just join the Osmia group for free, then click on the vendor that’s just inside the front doors of the shop.  There are some other wonderful gifts there too while you’re at it.

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Legacy
• Maitreya

Shoe Addiction

ChicChica are being their usual generous selves with a new gift for all.  No need to join a group to pick up these lovely shoes, you’ll find them for free on the counter of the main store.  There are also some other shoes in the box too (which you can see in the vendor pic below).  The ones I’ve got on come in both silver and gold options and are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink.

Last Stop

Time for another new group gift at Miss Chelsea!  This delicate little necklace I’ve got on is a cheeky little nod if you’re fending off the advances of some unworthy suitor.  The little gold bar in the middle says “not yours”, which made me giggle a little when I put it on.   There are three other choices of message, as well as a metals HUD with a few different options.  The Miss Chelsea group is 100L to Join, but you’ll find a very large pile of extremely high quality gifts on the main counter of the store, making the join super worth it.

Have you got your outfit sorted yet?

Quinnty’s-ential Christmas Gifts

The designers on Secondlife have really been going out of their way with gift this holiday season and what I have found has been pretty amazing.  I have been in the Quinnty’s update group for a while now (50L to join) and every month being a new group gift.  This month, not only was there a group gift, but Quinnty’s send out a notice that there were free presents under the tree for group members.  I rushed down to check them out right away.  I found there were four presents awaiting me under the tree.  They were all terrific, but I had to narrow it down to my two favorites for the post.

The Psych! top is a a cute sweater/jacket combo with an ’80s cyberpunk feel.  It went really well with the No Limit Leggings that were also under the tree.  Like all Christmas gifts, this will be gone before you know it.  So pick up these great gifts for group members while you still can.

Top sizes included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Maitreya
