I’m a big fan of Valentina E. So many of the items there have a touch of class and elegance, and they are all exceptionally well made. It was a no brainer to hop over and pick up this dress for 50L that’s out for today’s Fifty Linden Friday. It’s in this pretty violet color and in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya Lara.
And my eyelids are heavy so that’s enough for tonight. I just didn’t want you to miss out. ❤

Pose: [doll.] (no longer available)
Not all things Halloween have to be creepy or spooky. Haunting can also describe something beautiful. I think this fairy-creature-like doll is both creepy and cute, duality at its finest.
Gifting us some whimsy for this mystical magical season, COCO has this delicate looking jointed bunny girl doll avatar as a freegroup gift. This bento mesh avatar comes in a complete head-to-toe form, including the dress and leg-wraps as one piece. The included hair is separate, and there is an example shape included as well. There’s also a “human” ears version of the doll included in the package. The COCO group is free to join making this strange and lovely gift an amazing freebie.
In addition to the avatar, I picked up the free group gift crown set at Birth. It was originally shown on the blog here. This gift comes in the static worn version shown, and a floating/spinning worn version as well. The Birth group is free to join also, so don’t hesitate to pick up this pretty accessory.
Lastly, the held pumpkin lantern is a Marketplace find by Bowtique. It has its own hold pose, and can be turned off or on by clicking it. You can get yours for just 25 linden on the Marketplace.

Hello Fabulouses! Just a super quick post tonight to share with you another of the Fabulous Finds that Ripley and I discovered on the trail of the Dress Her Up Hunt. In my post {HERE}, I shared the first hunt item we discovered. This next one from <Trashed> is just as fantastic! For only 2 Linden dollars, I was able to scoop up the adorable Birdie Skirt, which features a fun avian print, soft pleats and a narrow waistband that sits just below my belly button. I chose to pair it with a white cropped top, but I think black would also coordinate nicely. One thing I really appreciated about this hunt prize is it includes classic sizes as well as mesh body versions. The hunt runs through March 31st, so there is still plenty of time left to pick up some budget-friendly additions to your inventory.
I have a TON of goodies to show you today! We have group gifts from Blueberry and all kinds of hunt items from the Funny Puppet Fair.

The Okinawa Summer Festival ends today! Sad face! But don’t let it pass you by without getting this adorable freebie there! This cute little lion doll is super cute and he’s looking for a home. I hope you come adopt him! 😉
You gotta take the good with the bad, like Love mentioning The 24 ends today also.
Another neat freebie at the Okinawa Summer Festival is this lion statue. I know it’s a bit of a culture mashup since I am on the Tromsoe Norwegian sim, but we had fun venturing around there.
After the response to my last post, there was some trepidation when I put my hunter shoes on this morning to start on the Happy Holidays From.. Hunt. Thankfully though, the chances of running into anything that might be considered offensive was slim so I was a little more encouraged to blog.
The hunt runs from 10th December until . The starting point is atIspachi, you are looking for a scroll and each one costs 10L to purchase. There are 95 scrolls in all and I sent out the hints and LM’s list through the FabFree group so please check the group notices.. make sure you click the Date header twice in the group notices so you arrange the notices by date so that most recent date is at the top, then scroll down until you see “Happy Holidays and With Love”, click on that to find the hint sheet in the attachment.. or you can join the “The With Love From.. Hunts” group and get the hint list from their group notices.
A little word of warning.. some stores are also participants in the With Love From.. hunt which has a similar hunt item in the scroll and those are also 10L to buy. Be sure to check by resting your cursor over the scroll before you buy it and it should say in a little pop up bubble what hunt it is from.
The Think P!nk Hunt began August 30th and continues until September 30th. There are 50 stores participating in this hunt and the theme is… PINK! CandyDoll is the starting location for the Think P!nk hunt. In no particular order, here’s all of the prizes hidden in the hunt.
This is all of the Think P!nk prizes except one. Orage Creations did not have the Think P!nk hunt prize out when I was doing the hunt last night. Join the Think P!nk Hunt group, if you need extra help finding the candies in this hunt or if you feel like being helpful to others.
PERTURB/ation have moved locations and to celebrate their reopening they have put out a new group gift of this stunning necklace. You will need to join the new Pluto group.. you can join through my profile.
Imabee have finally opened their store! I have been seeing previews of Brendon Papp’s skins all over the feeds and I have been dying to get my paws on them as they looked so cute. There is an opening gift skin called “I cried all night” and you will need to join the group to get it, then touch the poster on the wall.
This is the Group Gift.. you get two skin tones, the pale shown here and a darker coffee shade. You also get choice of cleavage/no cleavage and freckles.
And also there is 50% of all skins to celebrate! All skins are at 350L. Of course me being a skin addict, I had to indulge so I bought a couple to show you a more subtle make up. This one below is called “Lucy in the Morning”
I adore the flushed cheeks on the skin.. its so so sexy and cute! The other skin I bought is called “Lucy goes out Tonight” and it is worn in the other pictures below. The antlers I am wearing are special 60L Valentines Edition Fa(u)ntasy antlers fromSweet Leonard and are part of the Super Bargain Saturday. The Ears are Dollarbies fromBuried.
POSH! have moved into their new mainstore at Liberty City and are taking part in a simwide 50L weekend event, which will happen every weekend from now on. This week there is a special Valentines set for 50L..
You get a yummy pink, a sultry red and a lickable vanilla blonde colour. I must say, I love the pink .. the little heartshaped hair accessory is just so cute.
Lamb still have their 50L friday hair out at the time of me writing this, which is well worth taking a peek at. I am wearing the Powder “Oh Sugar” 50L Friday style in the dress pictures below. They also have a Valentines hair pack out of one style called Baby’s on Fire in Red and Pink for 100L
If you are still looking for some gowns for one of the many Valentines Day balls going on around SL, then take a look at these.. First off, Dressing Aphrodite are taking part in the 60L weekend and have put out two gowns for their contribution. One in a vibrant red and the other is more demure in white.
The Red gown is called Serendipity and comes with several skirt options including a pencil skirt option. This is 60L
The White gown is called Serenity and comes with several options for the top and for the skirt, including a huge poofy bridal skirt. Again this is 60L
If you prefer a darker shade, then run over to Trubble to find this free Starstruck gown.
There is also this Candy pink set as a Dollarbie on the other side of the steps.
N-Core have a selection of free shoes as group gifts at their store. Simply join the group, then click the boxes to get the goodies.. This set of boots is one of the gifts you will find there.
They are hugely customisable via menu, which allows you to change their size, colour of both the boot and the legwarmer. There is even the option of removing the legwarmer if you wanted to. Sorry the picture turned out a bit dark.
This cute pose is part of the Valentines Dollarbie from Doll and come complete with the flowers shown.. perfect to take some adorable pictures for your S/O.
There is also another pose included in the pack, with another set of flowers for you to stand with.
And lastly.. The sad news of Alexander McQueens death rocked the fashion world a few days ago in both RL and even in SL. When I heard the news, it was quite a shock. I havent always been very involved in high fashion, but some times a designer would catch my eye from an artistic point of view being that I am an artist first and foremost in RL. Lee was one of these designers. His fashion shows were always a feast for the eyes and he had this delicious rebellious streak through him that just appealled to me. His designs always seemed to speak to me, in particular his Fall 2006 “Widows of Culloden” collection.. so hauntingly beautiful and tragically romantic. The image of a ghostly Kate Moss projected into a glass pyramid is such a striking one that it will stay in my memory forever. One piece in particular, which is one of my most favourite designs.. and most likely where my obsession with antlers came from, is this one below…
There is so much to say about this man and his talent and vision. As an artist he will be missed as much as the fashion world will miss him. My thoughts are with his loved ones and friends.
Lee Alexander McQueen – 1969 – 2010
There is currently an Alexander McQueen tribute being organised by Avenue Models to take place on 28th February which many designers in SL are signing up to be a part of. These creations will be sold afterwards with 100% of the proceeds going towards charities that he was a patron of. This is probably the wrong place to write about it as it isnt free by a long shot, but I will add more details when I know more. With nearly 12000 people in the group, I am sure it is of interest to some if only on a purely creative level if nothing else… and that is what we are celebrating.. without creativity, we wouldnt be doing what we do.
I’m a big fan of Valentina E. So many of the items there have a touch of class and elegance, and they are all exceptionally well made. It was a no brainer to hop over and pick up this dress for 50L that’s out for today’s Fifty Linden Friday. It’s in this pretty violet color and in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya Lara.
