On a Sizzling Summer Day

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

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

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!

Faded Blue

Hello Fabulous Readers.  So, the other day, I couldn’t get Ripley to even open his eyes just a tiny bit, but my animal magnetism is working fine on the ladies over at Mystical Fae sim as you can see from my snapshot.  They just didn’t stop following me around.  I think they approved of my latest outfit, which I picked up for just 50L at the Sunny Side Up Sale at The Wash.  You’ve probably seen Aline’s and Love’s posts featuring beautiful items for the gals, but I’m here to tell you the guys haven’t been forgotten!

Dark Water and Faded Denim

As soon as I saw the casual Faded Denim Weekend Set at the Dark Water Designs cart, I knew I had to grab a copy for myself.   For just 50L, I was able to add a complete outfit to my summer wardrobe… a great deal!  The light blue button down shirt comes with the open/bare chested version I’m wearing, as well as one which includes a white tee for those cooler days.  Knee length white twill shorts complete the look.  I like the added detail of the belt at the waistline.  The package contains fit mesh and classic versions.  By adjusting the alpha layer on my Belleza mesh body, I was able to wear everything with no problem.   The sale at The Wash continues on through May 16th, so you still have plenty of time to scoop up this warm weather staple for yourselves.

Sizes Included:

• Fit Mesh v1, v2, v3
• Classic Mesh in S, M, L
• Alpha layers for shirt with tee and no tee
• Alpha Layer for shorts

Until next time, happy shopping!

Cute Roses

Hi Again Fab Free’rs! I’m excited to share more of my finds from the Cart Sale going on at The Wash. Aside from the obvious allure of completely affordable prices, a big draw to the Cart Sales put on at The Wash for me is the opportunity to try out shops I’m not super familiar with. One such shop is Dark Water Designs. Along with some very cute casual ladies clothing, they had some casual menswear at the Dark Water Designs cart. I picked up the flirty fringe top, and a cute jogger set. Keep reading for the details!

A Rose by Any Other Name

This pretty halter top with the rose appliques and the fringe was too cute to pass up at the Dark Water Designs cart. It comes in one other color (sold separately). It also fits really well, and comes in many mesh sizes. There is also an alpha layer included with this top so it is suitable for classic avatars.

Mesh Sizes Included:  Standard Mesh (xs – XL), Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), ebody, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP, Ocacin, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus)

Cute as Can Be

The other item I picked up at the Dark Water Designs cart, and I’m glad I did, is this “Cute” jogger set. The set includes the hooded jacket and matching jogger style pants in pink and black. This two-piece outfit comes in several mesh sizes, and the jacket and pants can also be worn separately. Additionally there are alpha layers for the jacket and pants so they can be worn by classic avatars. I love the detail in the lettering across the back. It really is very cute!

Mesh Sizes Included: Standard Mesh (xs – XL), Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), ebody, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP, Ocacin, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus)

Santa Squad

 

Are you naughty or nice?

You may not know this but I am a member of the Santa Squad. I report back to the North Pole with details on my fellow bloggers here at FabFree, letting the big guy know if they have been naughty or nice.  I hate to say it, but the list has mixed results. It’s a good thing there are still a few weeks left before Christmas….

The good list…

If you are good (and can find the hunt item) you can have two of the items I am wearing as FREE gifts! The Santa Squad Military Shirt with Tee is the Peace on Earth Hunt gift provided by Dark Water Designs. The shirt comes in two styles, with the tee (shown) and without.  And both styles come in sizes S-L and also in three fitmesh sizes. Get on the good team wearing this shirt. You can also pick up the Winter Newsboy Cap, the Peace on Earth Hunt gift from Couture Chapeau. With a built in resizer, it even fit my buckethead easily.

Peace on Earth Hunt Preview: That’s My Chair

I have just one thing to say… “That’s my chair!”.

Here’s the story…

I was at home doing a little holiday decorating while he was sprawled out on the sofa watching Supergirl, half in and out of sleep.  I asked him if he wanted to help, but he declined with some kind of a completely committed head shake that oddly enough didn’t rattle his eyeballs off of the TV screen.  I really knew better than to try to compete with spandex and capes, but I thought I’d ask.

I continued on my merry way, humming jingle bells and rezzing out all of the holiday decor, and came across a really nice holiday printed chair by Kusshon for the Peace on Earth Hunt.  I rez it out with it’s cute little side table and before I could sit in it – HE yells “DIBS!” from the sofa.  Where did that even come from?  He was in “the dork zone”! “What?” I responded  and he says it again “DIBS!” as he flies across the room and sits in MY chair!  I nearly dropped my break-a-balls (that’s what I used to call the glass ball ornaments on the tree that I wasn’t allowed to place as a kid – Mom called them breakables but that’s not what my little ears heard and then it stuck).

This is really becoming a longer story than I wanted it to be, so here’s where it shortens up.  We fought furiously over the chair for 2 long days, until we realized that…  it’s copy and we can both have one. -.-  I rezzed one out for him too, but as you can see from the photo, he’s still a little grumpy-cat.  It will be a miracle if we can sit together in these chairs peacefully by Christmas Day.
