Sunshine And Summertime

Sunshine and SummertimeThe seasons are changing. Everywhere you look, autumn is peeking in, especially in SL. It is cute and cozy, all the sweaters and pumpkins and stuff. But friends, this is not one of those posts. I say NO. One of the best things about SL is that is can be always summer. Always. That doesn’t mean I won’t put out some jack-o-lanterns and snuggle up in some fuzzy boots, you know I’m always one to play dress up and appreciate pretty things. It’s already Halloween for me here all year round so nothing needs to change there. I’m just saying that here, for me, summer is eternal!

Got My Back

Luckily, Ashmoot has my back, with one of our very own FabFree group gifts. The current one is this adorably summery crochet bikini in sunny yellow. It’s a BOM layer and also includes some appliers. It’s the perfect thing to wear and soak up some rays. The FabFree group is free to join and you’ll just need to click on the vendor over at Ashmoot to claim your free gift.

Take my hand! Stand with me! For SUMMER!

A Fragile Line

A Fragile Line

I’m being all artsy in my picture today, which is something that I try to avoid when I blog here because I want to make sure you get a good look at the things that I’m showing. In this case though, my vibe totally shows off the things that I want to tell you about and I just love that. What are they? We’ll I’m glad that you asked…

Uber Style

As you may or may not already know, the Uber event is having an anniversary. You’ll go to the mainstores of all of the designers and that’s where the free gifts are. Of course you’ll need a list of what stores to visit and would you believe that Aline MADE one for us to use – you can find her handy dandy list as well as full Uber details here. From Uber I’m wearing:

  • The free gift hair from no.match. OMG how cool is this hair? If you like to take pictures this one is definitely for you. It’s free when you click on the brown gift box at the no.match mainstore and includes everything that you need – various rigged and unrigged versions, multiple HUDS with colors to pick from, and even hair bases. All for free with no group join required!
  • I also got my skirt for free, from True Damage. It’s such a perfect metallic loose mini, and there are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn. I love it with the little cropped tank that I’m wearing, but I’m sure that you can think of tons of ways to style yours!

Uber is still going strong and you’ve got until September 22nd to make your rounds, or even just cherry pick from Aline’s list! ❤

Serendipity

One of my favorite things about aaaaall of the events in SL, is finding new-to-me stores and going there to check out their freebies and other items in store. That’s how I came across Serendipity. Here you’ll find lots of pose and some other sweet little accessories as well, but mostly poses. The particular pose that I’m using today is from the Elodie set, which is free with a click, no group join required.

Float On

And we'll all float on, okayYou guys, I bought 3 new hairstyles this weekend. THREE! Somebody HELP! But they were all on sale, and I balanced them out with looooots of free things…at least that’s what I tell myself.

Swinging

One of the free things in evidence is this super cute swing, which is one of the new group gift from Reka Nutmeg. It contains a few poses each for girls, guys, and even a cuddle. Just simple, sweet cuteness. You can get it for free by joining the free Reka group and going to grab it in the store with the other free group gifts. I had forgotten how many top quality gifts this creator has out. There are some other really lovely things to grab up for free while you’re there!

Gloom

I popped over to Abstrakt to have a look for myself after I saw Aline’s post about the gifts there. You can see her post HERE, for all of the event details. I absolutely fell in love with this skin from Gloom. It’s a free gift at Abstrakt that you can pick up at Gloom’s booth after joining the free event group. It comes in a nice variety of shades (I’m wearing the beige) and with or without brows. The thing that gets me about Gloom skins is the little imperfections, like the slight shading under the eyes. It’s just done so well and gives it a touch of realism that makes me feel things. You’re probably thinking, “Oh my gosh, she’s getting all gushy about undereye bags” but seriously it’s just so very natural and pretty. Maybe it’s not the hair addiction that I need help for, after all…

The Hair

Oh but hey, mentioning hair, this is one of the styles that I acquired over the weekend. It’s from Rama.Salon and available for on 75L as part of the Saturday Sale. I don’t know how much longer it will stay on sale, but I just checked and it still is now! Get it at the discounted price while you can. ❤

Hippie Dippy

I gotta say, there’s something appealing about the hippie aesthetic.  If I slap on some tie-dye, it just puts me in a good, chill mood.  There are a whole bunch of beachy, hippie finds I’ve got for you today, so read on!

Back With The Fish

There’s a new fishing outfit at Sn@tch!  If you’re never gone fishing before, it’s pretty simple to set up.  All you need is a simple 7 Seas Fishing rod which you can buy near the pond at Sn@tch for 100L.  With that rod, you just cast and see what you catch!  I got my dress, hair and glasses today, but there are 21 different items for you to fish for there.  That’s a deal and a half!  In the pond there are several dresses, some great crocheted bathing suits, hair, glasses, jewelry and even tattoos!  You can use that fishing rod for all future fishing outfits!

Grumpy Old Saint Nick

You Had Me at Meow

Hello Fabulous Readers!  Since we have been having good luck lately, Ripley and I decided to continue hunting this weekend.  Along the trail of The Grumpy Santa Hunt, we found the cutest silvery romper for just 1 Linden dollar.  This outfit certainly got me in the mood for the song Silver Bells and some holiday shopping.  Well, that is until I went to Walmart in RL, and changed my mind about the shopping part.  The traffic and crowds {shudder} …. bring me shopping on SL any day!

If THIS is What Santa Brings When He’s Grumpy…

…I can’t imagine how wonderful his gifts are when he is chipper!   With large gray snowflakes scattered across a dark silver background and cozy metallic tights, the Kawaii Romper from BlondeQueen has a definite wintry vibe.  I really like the way the material shimmers in the light.  The shirt portion is a tube top style with no sleeves or neckline, so I added a warm fuzzy jacket before heading out to explore the Snow Falls sim.  My feet are covered up by my fur wedge boots, but underneath, the leggings extend all the way past the heel, so your ankles will stay cozy warm no matter how hard Jack Frost tries to chill you.  (The jacket and boots are not part of the prize.)  To grab a copy of this outfit for yourself, all you have to do is teleport to the shop and look for the lump of coal that Santa left.  After that, pay one Linden dollar and you’ll have yourself a merry little outfit.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
  • Maitreya
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique

Until next time, happy hunting!

Put on Your Red Dress, Baby!

Put on Your Red Dress, Baby

Hello Fabulous Readers!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I know mine was too short…lol.   We finally had some warmer weather here, and I was outside enjoying it in RL, so I was inspired to go for a stroll with Ripley in a field of wildflowers in Second Life.

When in Doubt, Wear Red

The arrival of more spring-like temperatures (even if short lived) also had me thinking of donning a sleeveless dress.  Lucky for me, Cremosas Store has this crimson little mini set out as a free gift for members of Fabulously Free in SL.  With a low cut neckline and slender fit, this frock had me ready for a night on the town.  All I needed to do was apply some red lipstick, add a simple necklace, and slip into some slinky heels.  The simple design, smooth texture of the fabric, and deep hue showcased my curves.  With versions for mesh bodies as well as classic avatars, I’m sure you will find just the right fit for your avatar.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Mesh in XS, S, M, L, and XL (includes alpha layer)
  • Curvy
  • Ebody
  • Fine
  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Isis
  • Maitreya
  • Physique
  • TMP
  • Venus

Three Stripes

Keep Calm and Polish On

For just the perfect finishing touch, I picked up another free gift just for members of the Fabulously Free in SL group.  The Three Stripe Nails from Inevitable Madness echoed the vivid hue of my frock.  I really liked how the designer created two accent nails with this black and red pattern and painted the rest jet black.  This touch added visual interest to my manicure.  The contrast of ebony and crimson makes such a vibrant combination.  The free gift package includes appliers for Maitreya as well as Omega.

I hope your work week is off to a smooth start tomorrow.  Until my next post, happy shopping!

Skate Like Nobody’s Watching

Poised

Hello Fabulous Readers, and Happy Monday!  After Ripley and I left the La Vie sim yesterday, we decided to try our luck on the Peace On Earth Hunt, and made our way over to the OMG! Inc. store.  There, the pupster’s talented nose discovered the hidden snowflake which contained the free Skater Dress I’m wearing in my picture.  This fun and flirty outfit inspired a trip to an ice covered pond at Moonchuck Winter Wonderland for a late afternoon glide across the frozen water.  With sizes for classic as well as popular mesh avatars, you’re sure to find a fit for you!  The prize package includes a texture change HUD with 5 options to choose from.  I love the way the knotted top offers a sexy peek at my mid section.  With the generously flared skirt, your avatar will have plenty of freedom for your finest figure skating moves!  Best of all, you can pick up a copy for yourself for just a small investment of time.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Belleza
  • Maitreya
  • Slink
  • Mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL
  • Fit mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL
  • Alpha layer for classic avatars

Hello there, Fabulous Readers.  We’ve all had them……times when everything just seems to go wrong and you just need to get away.  Today, Ripley and I took J.T.’s advice, and climbed right up to the top of the stairs on the Banana Bay sim to let our cares just drift right into space.  Now if only we had such a lovely spot in RL…

Up on the Roof In Style

Thanks to my free Aylen outfit from BlackRose Fasion, I’m definitely ready to kick back and relax while still looking beautiful.  With a rose colored crop top adorned with a beaded trim, and gray denim shorts tied with a coordinating pink belt, this set is all about trendy casual comfort.  Versatile, Aylen is designed to fit classic as well as a variety of mesh avatars.  To scoop up this duo for yourself, teleport over to BlackRose, activate the BlackRose Fashion group tag (it’s completely free to join!) and click the gift vendor on the desk of the main shop.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Mesh in XXS, XS, S, M and L
  • Alpha layer for shorts and top

  • Hourglass
  • Isis
  • Maitreya
