Venti Strawberry Açai Refresher

Venti Strawberry Açai Refresher

My first thought when I put on this outfit was “time for a workout”, but of course that devolved into “time for a leisurely stroll with a drink that has over 1500 calories in it”.  I suppose the two are synonymous in some way.  At least in my world they are – because they involve some form of movement…. right?  RIGHT?!  Come on people, work with me here!

Dark Waters

My top and shorts are one of my latest finds from The Wash Cart sale!  You’ve most likely heard that this is their final round ever, so do head over to stock up on reasonably priced goodness.  We’re sad to see them go, but we are glad for the memories.  I stopped by the Dark Water Designs cart and grabbed this top and shorts look that is perfect for either being industrious or….not.  It will only cost you 25L, and that’s awesome!

A Time for all Things

A Time for all Things

It’s the perfect time of the year for two things: first, clambering through the woods and second – The Wash Event!

In Dark Water

It’s always nice when the weather turns cool to have a fun event to look forward to.  The Wash churns out a great discount event several times per year, and this season’s is no different.  You’ll find plenty to love, just like I did!  My first stop was the Dark Water Designs display.  This floral jumper gives me all the right 90’s feels that are perfect for this time of year!  If florals aren’t your jam, then there are some really nice plaids too.  Best of all, this top and jumper set only costs 30L.  Oh, and there’s even an iced coffee in the box for you. Perfect!

Hi Fab Free, question, is it still called breakfast if it’s not morning? I don’t know about you, but I could eat bacon, sausage, and eggs any time of day. Add some fresh fruit to the mix and that makes it perfect. This scrumptious looking meal, and my tied tee are both available at The Cart Sale priced too fabulously to pass them up. Keep reading for all the delicious details, and check the end for full credits. Lastly, enjoy your breakfast! 😛

Dark Knight Décor 

My mouth-watering meal including the coffee and cutlery are from Dark Knight Decor’s booth at The Cart Sale. Along with this traditional breakfast, there are a handful of other equally detailed food items. There’s also a few kitchen décor bits and bobs to be had. The breakfast set I picked up is just 25 linden, and will look fantastic on your table, or balanced on the arm of your seaside chair.

Dark Water Designs 

An iconic warm weather wardrobe stable has to be a tied tee. This baby blue and white top by Dark Water Designs is also available at The Cart Sale. There are several spring-like shades available for 25 linden each. These tops are not only cute, they come in several sizes, and have an alpha layer for classic avatars.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara (V1, V2), Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Standard Mesh (xs-XL) + Alpha Layer

On a Sizzling Summer Day

California Dreaming

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  After a bit of shopping down at The Wash, Ripley and I headed down to the Baja Shore sim with dreams of the west coast on our minds.  Oh how I’d love to be going to the beach in RL this week!  We’ll have to make do with some SL sand and sea instead.  Thanks to our trip to the Sizzling Summer Sale, I am wearing an adorable top that is perfect for a sunny summer day.

California Dreaming

At the Dark Water Designs display, I happily scooped up the California Dreams top in blue for just 10 Linden dollars.  Featuring a strapless design which knots in the front and a cheerful floral print, this little number will have you ready to soak up some rays and feel the ocean breeze caressing your shoulders.  The pattern of the fabric is just so pretty with its white and pink flowers scattered across a pale aqua blue background.  If you’d prefer a different color combination, there are three other patterns to choose from – all priced at a budget-friendly 10 Linden dollars each.  The event runs until July 24th, so you still have plenty of time to visit.

Mesh Body Compatibility: 

  • Ebody Curvy
  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Isis
  • Maitreya
  • Physique
  • Venus

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Be still my love

Be still my love

Happy Friday! I have some exciting skin news for you today. The free gift for September is out a day early at 7 Deadly Skins! And she’s preeeeeetty, as is always the case with 7DS skins.

Mellia

7 Deadly Skins is a great group to be in because we get free group gifts every month (for both guys and girls) as well as info on all of the great sales and promos that they are always having. This is a paid group, but right now it is only 25L to join! I forget what it usually is, I just know that it’s cheaper right now but just for the rest of this month – so I’m assuming that means today only. I’m wearing Mellia, the free September group gift. It comes with Omega appliers in 4 skin tones.

City Heat

My outfit is by Dark Water Designs. It is 10L at The Wash during the Cart Sale. There are a few other patterns available but I am wearing teal paisley today. The top and skirt are separate pieces and each comes sized for:

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Isis
  • Maitreya
  • Phyisique
  • Venus

The skirt is a tight little mini. You can just see where it ends at the edge of my weirdly cropped photo. There is less than a week left of the cart sale, and lots of bargains to be had. You don’t want to miss this!

Somewhere in Lost Lagoon

Lost Lagoon

Hi there, Fabulous Readers!  I’m popping in quickly on this Monday evening to share a hunt prize that I scooped up along the Peace by Peace Hunt 2 path.  The package includes the complete outfit (minus flip flops and necklace), all for just 1L.  That makes it a super thrifty Fabulous Find!  Ladies, don’t despair, there is a female hunt gift hidden for you in the shop, too!

Stripes and Solids

With a t-shirt (I know, I know I didn’t wear it for my picture), a long sleeved button down shirt, and khaki colored shorts, I’m ready for just about any weather summer will direct my way.  My olive green top features gleaming buttons, shoulder straps, and solid pockets.  The knee length shorts include coordinated striped cuffs and a handy belt.  Since it was a warm spring day when I snapped my photo, I opted not to wear the white t-shirt that the designer thoughtfully tucked inside the box.  With three fitmesh versions, as well as classic mesh included in the package, it was easy to find the right fit for my Belleza Jake body.  To pick up a copy for yourself, simply head over to Dark Water Designs and locate the puzzle piece concealed within.  Once you do, pay one Linden dollar, and this look is all yours!

What’s Included:

  • Fitmesh version 1, 2 and 3 (with and without the t-shirt)
  • Classic mesh in S, M, L (with and without the t-shirt)
  • Shorts in 4 sizes
  • Alpha layer for shirts (with and without t-shirt)
  • Alpha layer for shorts

I’m off to see what other items I can discover along the hunt trail.  Until my next post, happy hunting!
