I found a set of his and hers gifts that are really just stunning. They remind me of early morning sunrises, warm beaches, love letters and all the good things in life. I know that definitions of happiness are different for everyone, but a great find of excellent clothes is surely a win either way 🙂
In the picture above, I’m showing you the Runway Perfect Hunt gifts from Miss Darcy’s. A little bit of hunting time at the main-store for the black and white prim, and just 5 little linden, will score you this beautiful his and hers set.
The lady’s dress includes the skirt and top (they are separate pieces) in all the standard mesh sizes. I love the details of the bow on the skirt, and the tied waist top. Alphas are included for standard avatars.
The men’s gift includes the matching pants and jacket in all the standard mesh sizes, as well as an optional system Tee shirt to wear under the jacket if desired.
The gifts come in one box, so no need for hunting down two separate hunt prims.

If all the group gift swimsuits are any indication of the upcoming season, then summer is definitely approaching! In April, I showed you the group gift at Paisley Daisy, which was a lovely formal gown. This month, Paisley Daisy, is treating us with chocolate! That’s right! This beautiful mesh swimsuit, in all the standard sizes, called Seaside Chocolate Leather is the FREE May group gift to group members.
You’ll need to wear your group tag, which is 100L to join, but remember, you’ll be getting monthly group gifts that are just as lovely as this one! 🙂
It’s been a while since I roleplayed my sexy siren! But I was inspired to bring her out of my inventory by a couple of beautiful 30L Saturday offerings today! If you stop by Whatz main-store, you can pick up the Ariel outfit in deep blue today for only 30L. It includes this mesh mermaid skirt in all the standard sizes, the starfish belt, and the starfish half-top. All the pieces are mesh and fit like a dream.
I wanted some pretty jewelry to compliment my look… all us water-folk love the shinies of course 😉
I found just what I wanted at Jinx. Now in the picture above I’m actually only wearing the jewelry from what is a full mesh outfit that you’ll get for your 30L! Since I’m only sporting the jewelry, I am showing you the vendor advertisement for the full outfit below. So my 30L for the jewelry, not only spiced up my Siren’s attire, but also scored me a beautiful and versatile second outfit! Win, win!
Enjoy your Saturday! I’m off for a swim!

“Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.” — John Ray
It is often the small things and simplest pleasures that make us smile. I think that is why I love this round up of gifts and treasures so much. Alone they are simple… but together they are stunning. And they made me smile. Did I need them to be beautiful? Nah… but I felt beautiful wearing them.
“Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.” — Charles Lamb.
I think Charles Lamb would have approved of the reality woven by the gifts above. [Muse] is celebrating 1000 members with this resizable Evil Eye Choker gift (though there is nothing evil about this gorgeous gift) which you can pick up for FREE with your NSP Floral Group tag. There is a 75L group join fee, but the monthly gifts and goodies make it worthwhile.
Seeing my own reality through that eye, I knew I needed something special to go with it. And Salt & Pepper didn’t let me down. Their group gifts are usually jewelry, but this month the creator opted to give this sexy black romper called Kiara as the group gift. It is FREE with your group tag and comes in all the standard mesh sizes. Again there is a small join fee (100L) but like NSP Floral, the monthly gifts makes it worth it.
I finished off my adventure into my own reality with a spin on the 30L Julianne Shoes Gacha at Belle Epoque. These shoes fit medium high Slink feet and come in quite a few colors to match just about anything in your wardrobe. I love the strappy, open-toe style!
“The more often we see things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often we see them less and less.” — Joseph B. Wirthlin
I wasn’t done with Belle Epoque this weekend, though, as you can see in the picture above. Sometimes you need to take a little time to stop and smell the flowers. And Belle Epoque‘s 30L Saturday offer is just the thing to remind us of all the beautiful and wonderful things in life that we often take for granted. Above, I am modeling the Imelda Dress in Pink (it comes in all the standard mesh sizes and 3 colors – each for only 30 L!) and there are matching shoes for each color as well! The shoes are also only 30L each for this 30L round. Belle Epoque is leaving this lovely offering out for the weekend, but be sure to stop by before the end of Sunday evening or you will miss out! Hurry!
My necklace is a fantastic 1L Market place find by Cazimi Designs called Diantha Modern Girly Partial Set and was just the thing to set off this flowery dress. It came with earrings too (not shown). For 1L, the quality is hard to beat!
“Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.” — David Hume.
Need something more studious? Belle Epoque‘s creator outdid herself this weekend. Well known for medieval fantasy, this FREEgroup gift with your FREEgroup join called Eleanor has a vintage appeal that with a few of the right accessories takes on a contemplative look that is just right for vintage roleplay, a date night, or even just casual wear. It not only includes the skirt and jacket in all the standard mesh sizes, but you also get the resizable hat as well.
For a little added flair, I made my way upstairs to the Shoe Gachas again, this time trying my luck with the 30L Emily Shoe machine. A spin won me the pumps in Brown which turned out to be a perfect complement to the outfit. I also paired it with this Sunglass Necklace I found on the Marketplace from BricOle‘s Designs for only 20L.
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” — Anne Frank.
On a final note, Belle Epoque‘s 30L offerings this weekend are incredibly generous and there really is something to make just about any shopper happy. Not only is the Imelda dress and matching shoes available this weekend, but you can also pick up the Berezia Dress in three colors for 30L each. I’m modeling it in the picture above in champagne.
And for those who love capes and hats but are (like me) distressed that you can almost never find hair to fit under them, this Berezia Cape from Belle Epoque in three matching colors with four hair color choices (again 30L each for this weekend only, so hurry) is the perfect solution. Like the dress, the cape is mesh, but comes in 3 standard sizes and fit perfectly with a fabulous ‘flow’ to it as you can see in the picture above — a great inventory “must have” for roleplayers… or anyone really!
Sometimes a girl’s just got to have fun — even if it means throwing herself her very own FroYo Party! And since it’s my party, I’ll eat FroYo if I want to!
But first! We have to set up! Balloons and a table are a necessity! I found these great gift balloons for only 1L at the Sherbert main-store. They are currently a Halloween gift that have been set out for anyone, no group required! The colors are fun, and they are only 2 prims for the trio plus the spider textured brick they are tied to! That’s not a trick, that’s a treat!
I also made away with fabulous goodies at The Arcade Gacha. You’ll want to take a swing by there as well. This adorable Playful Pastimes Table by R(S)W & YKFK is only 1 prim and is currently a FREEgift at the event!
And because today is all about having fun… my pose! This fun pose by Sparrowtree Studio is called “Turkey Day Pose” and includes the spoon on your nose! (As well as other props such as turkey legs and such… all optional of course!). It may seem a little early for Thanksgiving, but I was thankful for this 1L marketplace find!
And what is a party without food? Again, The Arcade Gacha did not let me down. Not only did I pick up this fun rez-day cake for only 1 prim and 50L per spin at the [ keke ] Gacha but I also found this great FREEgift by Fancy Decor near their Gacha! Free FroYo — spoon included! It’s meant to be a hold-able food prop (it even has the animation for eating!), but I discovered that I could rez them out and they were only 1 prim each! Yay for that!
Astrid’s hair is also a lucky FREEfind at the The Arcade Gacha! If you stop by .Blue Olive.‘s hair Gacha, this hair style there is a FREEgift. There are also two rare styles in the machine as well. The commons in the machine are a variety of bangs (this FREEstyle has an option to make the “free” bangs disappear so you can add the Gacha bangs on) or headbands. I’m only showing you the FREEstyle, and even by itself it’s adorable! The FREEstyle includes a color change hud with four colors for the hair as well as several colors for the bands on the pony tails too.
The picture above is also your chance to scope out Astrid’s septum nose piercing… a golden find if I don’t say so myself! These septum piercings by (Yummy) were just 50L per spin at The Arcade Gacha. I didn’t get the rare, but I landed the Ethereal style in gold, and was just as happy, as all of these nose rings are all gorgeously detailed!
Of course all of that partying means Astrid is all tuckered out. Good thing she has comfy clothes to fall asleep in.
Be sure to stop by Prism Designs and pick up this fabulous dress that is the September FREEgroup gift. The group is FREEto join. The dress comes in all the standard mesh sizes and has some great details on it, including the cute cut-outs over the upper arms as well as a side-slits at the thighs.
Astrid’s shoes and socks are also a FREEgift, but you are going to have to hunt for them! You’ll need to make a stop by Lindy Modern & Retro Shoes and look for the little red dress to pick up the FREEWomen’s stuff Hunt gift that is being offered at this creator’s store to sport these pumps at you own party. The pumps themselves are black only, but they come with a color change hud that will tint the socks to any color you choose (it even includes an RGB adjuster to let you fine-tune if you want)!
Eyes – IKON Triumph Eyes – Armor (0L Group Gift/0L to Join Group) – First blogged by Love Trill HERE – these may not be out much longer, if you’ve not gotten them yet pick them up!
Rev me up! I’m ready to ride! And a little Vintage Touch added to my inventory was just the attitude adjustment my wardrobe needed to spruce up my Sunday stop at BB’s Diner in Second Life!
You still have a few day’s left to catch the great deals at the Cart Wash Sale. So before time runs out, make sure you stop by the Vintage Touch Cart to check out their fabulous mesh T-shirts. These classic designs are only 10L each, come in all the standard sizes, and are transferable for gift giving too!
The Vintage Touch Cart also has a special deal for you while you are at their cart! If you touch the Landmark giver to their main store, it will give you a free gift and then you can travel to their main store where their line of zodiac pendants and rings are currently on sale for only 10L each as well!
Each ring or pendant package includes both a male and female item in two sizes. Astrid is wearing the Capricorn set above and below is a picture of the full line up of all the zodiac styles available!
Okay, so I couldn’t resist a stretch out on top of the convertible I found outside of the diner… but only because I wanted to show you these fabulous SHOES! Oh my goodness! You simply must make a hop stop to shop at Pure Poison to nab up these heart-popping Leila Spumps. Yes! I said spumps! If you are wearing your Pure Poison Group tag you are eligible for a free spin on the Leila Gacha and can get a pair of these fantastic spumps for free! I didn’t get the rare, but the gift gacha granted me a pair in black, so I was just as spumped (pun intended)!!!
Best yet? Right now the Pure Poison group is FREEto join, making this a FREEgift! This may be a limited time offer, as I do remember the group having a fee in the past, so be sure to nab up your group invite ASAP!
Now if wine and burgundy aren’t your thing, don’t let that deter you from stopping by the Vintage Touch Cart to pick up a T-shirt. As you can see below, the variety is terrific. There are 8 great styles available, in 8 different colors — and while my shirt was about wine… there are shirts for milk lovers, tea drinkers, coffee connoisseurs, and beer buddies. This creator has you covered! Check it out below!
Sim – BB’s Diner – According to the Destination Guide: “BB’s Diner is a place to hang out, sit, and relax. Come on Tuesday and Friday nights to meet new and awesome people.”
“It was, indeed, a tempestuous yet sternly beautiful night, and one wildly singular in its terror and its beauty.” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
Sometimes… it feels good to be wicked. And with Hku Education Island introducing their art tribute Sim to Edgar Allen Poe’s Fall of the House of Usher… now is the perfect time to ready your wardrobe… so that you too can be wild and singular in your beauty.
“An excited and highly distempered ideality threw a sulphurous luster over all. His long improvised dirges will ring forever in my ears.” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
But the luster of this Grand Opening gift Skin (pictured in a close up above) that Deesses Boutique is using to celebrate their official new main store location will surely lift even the spirits of any haunted that may remain behind after Lady Madeleine’s untimely departure in Poe’s beloved classic.
This beautiful skin called Selda comes in Caffe Crema tone 060 with Slink feet and hand appliers included (all other body appliers can be purchased at the main store location) and is a FREE gift with your Deesses group tag. The Group is 50L to join, but this one skin alone is well worth the join fee.
“There were times indeed when I thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret.” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
It’s no secret that the Women’s Stuff Hunt is going on and that the gifts are fantastic! And if you stop by *WICKED* this month you can pick up to wicked hot items to add to your wickedly sexy wardrobe. Pictured above is *WICKED*‘s contribution to the Women’s Stuff hunt. Find the little red T-shirt and for just 1L the Ginger Outfit which includes a brown denim mini skirt, tank top, and matching bangle bracelets is yours!
In both these pictures Astrid is sporting a great set of versatile sandals for Slink flat feet that are a steal of a deal you will not want to miss out on. These are 50L per spin gacha prizes you can pick up in store at *OAL* On a Lark. If you play the machine, you’ll find that there are 4 common colors without beads and 4 common colors with beads and color change Huds for the beads, as well as 2 rares with beads and color change Huds for the shoes/beads.
“These appearances, which bewilder you, are merely electrical phenomena not uncommon…” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
The great thing about *WICKED* — and about the Hku Education Island Sim’s rendition of the Fall of the House of Usher — is that neither are redundant. The sim includes areas with glowing flowers, lights, and reflective rain… and while the hunt gift from *WICKED* and the House of Usher both have that edgy sulfuric feeling of terror that is common in early Gothic literature, *WICKED*‘s September group gift is a whimsical and lovely dress called Claire in Fuchsia and comes with Hud for color change options for the belt to increase its versatility. You have 6 color choices on the belt for the the belt itself as well as 6 choices for the belt studs!
The Claire dress is yours FREEwith your group tag and the group is FREEto join! You first saw this dress blogged HERE by Julianna Seriman when the dress was a hunt gift in the color “ocean.” So if you missed out then, now is your chance to own it in Fuchsia!

Here are some great finds that I found from wandering around the grid on this Sunday evening.. a little bit of fun before a new week begins anew!
There is a new round of The Fantasy Room that began on the 5th. There are lots of discounted items here that you will sure to enjoy. I particularly fell in love with the ruby red colour of the gorgeous Zephora Gown by Torvis. It is also available in White and Black at the event. The bracelets that I am wearing are also part of the outfit and there are a few more accessories included with it that I am not showing here. The Gold Lumier Chain by Mays Soul set the dress off perfectly. It needed a little modifying to fit my short little curvy shape but thankfully it was really easy to do! Finally I decided upon the Wooden Crown by Cubic Cherry Kre-ations. I am a Queen after all and every Queen needs her crown ~ smiles sweetly ~
The skin I am wearing is called Anne and is a stunning group gift by Deesses. The group is free to join. You get cleavage and abdominal layer options included and there are appliers sold seperately in store. There is also another skin available called Sanda but I will be showing that in a follow up post very soon so stay tuned!
My hair is a group gift from Milk and was originally blogged by Pru here. There are lots of colour HUDS included so there is bound to be something to suit your style! My eyes are the latest group gift by Avi Glam and are a beautiful deep brown colour that is just divine. Both groups are free to join!
