The Wearin’ O’ The Green

Irish is in My DNA

You know those TV commercials where people talk about their DNA test results? Well, mine shows that I’m more than a quarter Irish. So, St. Patrick’s Day is kind of a big deal in my house, and as you can see, I did a little celebrating last night at Hunny’s Pub. 

And my outfit? I didn’t spend a single Linden, thanks to amazing gifts from the Finders, Keepers St. Patrick’s Day Hunt. I was able to find a dress, hair, necklace, makeup, and nails… all for FREE!

Oh, and I skipped the pint of Guinness because Hunny’s was serving a special St. Patrick’s Day cocktail that I’ll tell you about below (also free).

Luck of the Irish?

Not really, but I’m sure it doesn’t hurt. This isn’t a difficult hunt, but I’ll admit that some of the gifts are really well hidden!

The Hair

FABIA Mesh Hair set out this sexy, mussed ‘do as their St. Patrick’s Day Hunt gift. Adriana comes in a fatpack of colors and includes an alpha.

The Necklace

I love this shamrock necklace from Violetility, especially the Celtic-inspired design. The Leprechaun Necklace comes in one size and does not include a resizer, but it is modifiable so you can right-click > edit > stretch if you need to change the size.

The Dress

My dress was the gift from Decoy. The Lillie Dress comes in grass green, as well as the shamrocks version that I’m wearing. It is sized for Maitreya and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies.

The Makeup & Nails

I stopped at LIVIA to grab their gift: the Envy Eyeshadow & Nail Appliers. 3 different eyeshadows are included, with appliers for Catwa, LeLutka, Omega, and tattoo layers for classic avatars.

The nails include 5 different designs for hands and feet, with appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Vista, and Omega-enabled Bento hands.

The Drink

No St. Patrick’s Day party is complete without an adult beverage, right? And thankfully, ChicChica was serving up exactly what I needed. The St. Patrick’s Day Special Cocktail comes with a sprig of mint and a lucky four-leaf clover charm on the straw. Just what you need to quench your virtual thirst! 😀

About The Hunt

The Finders, Keepers St. Patrick’s Day Hunt will continue through 24 March 2018. Each store has a free hunt item as well as a special discounted item for sale.

I <3 Holidays (and FREE gifts!)

Belated happy holidays to you, fabulous readers! 😀

Whatever you celebrate, I hope you are having a wonderful, restful holiday season. I’ve been enjoying some quiet time at home with my family, as well as catching up on DVR’d TV shows that I hadn’t had time to watch. Not very exciting, but definitely what I needed.

Gifts Galore

If you’re a Maitreya Lara body wearer, you’ll want to run – not walk – over to the Maitreya mainstore. Earlier this week, not one, not two, but SEVEN gifts were put under the Christmas tree for members of the Maitreya V.I.P. in-world group. The gifts are special Christmas editions of Maitreya classics that had not yet been updated for Lara mesh body, and I’m wearing two of them here today.

I’ve been wearing this super-sexy draped dress for a couple of days and getting compliments wherever I go. The lovely Maitreya Mignon Evening Burgandy dress dips low in the back and hugs your curves in all the right places.

I paired the dress with the Maitreya Gold Shanti Burgandy heels for Maitreya high feet. The wrapped leather ties in the back and is a perfect match with the Mignon dress.

Keep in mind that these are gifts for wearers of the Maitreya Lara mesh body. They may or may not fit other mesh bodies (especially the shoes), but it might be worth a try.

According to the notecard (still in the notices), more updates of previous Maitreya items are coming, as well “some exciting newness concerning the Lara mesh body.” I can’t wait to find out what that last one is!

Bejeweled

If you’re a member of the Kunglers in-world group, you should have received a gorgeous Christmas gift in your group notices.

The Simone necklace and earrings set has dainty flowers of ruby and diamond and makes a “statement” without upstaging the Maitreya dress.

If you don’t find the gift in your group notices, you can head over to the Kunglers mainstore to pick up a copy.

Beautiful Betty

FABIA Mesh Hair recently set out this cute Betty hair as a Christmas gift. The gift includes a fatpack of colors, as well as a styling HUD which will give you 5 different styles to choose from.

FABIA is also offering a 30% discount on all items in the store through January 7th.

Enjoy! ❤

Oh Hello Fab Free’rs! I’m feeling very girly today, princess-like even thanks to this pretty floral dress and matching shoes from NSP Florals. The gifts at NSP Florals have always been generous, so I was not at all surprised to see that the shoes came with this beautiful pink dress.

All you need is…

A pair of pink sneakers!

Since my laptop has continued to be in a good mood (though I was really pushing my luck during this shoot, to be honest) I decided to put those long neglected landmarks to use and visit another picturesque sim. A quiet stroll through beautiful countryside called for proper footwear (wouldn’t want to go tripping and rolling into a ditch) and it was the perfect time to slip on these pink pair of high top sneakers that I’ve accommodated for myself recently from Graffitiwear. Not only are they free but they’re part of the full outfit that you see in the picture above.

This adorable and high-quality t-shirt, skirt and sneakers combination is a gift for Valentine’s Day that Graffitiwear has most generously set out. There is no group tag needed for you to grab this outfit for your virtual wardrobe though since freebies like these can be fleeting and I’m not sure how long this gift will be out for, I suggest you do it ASAP. Here are the sizing details:

Knotted t-shirt:

• Five Fitmesh sizes (XS-XL)
• Knotted t-shirt alpha layer

Skirt:

• Five standard mesh sizes (XS-L)
• Skirt alpha layer

Sneakers:

• Sneakers alpha layer
• Sneakers shoe base

I’m wearing the sneakers without the use of my Slink feet and they fit like a dream. While you’re at Graffitiwear, do consider joining their group (the joining fee stands at 5L) or their subscribers group to stay in touch with the great deals going on at the store. There’s also a steady stream of gifts and other perks that make joining the group worthwhile.

A new day a new hairstyle

While waiting for my blind date to turn up ( the date was a bust, by the way, I’ll tell you the story some other time) I passed the time by looking into the Marketplace and came across this beautiful mesh hairstyle from Fabia. Long and flowing and elegant the Rima hair was just up my alley and it didn’t hurt that it only cost 1L. You’ll also get a hud of thirty natural colors to choose from a fact that certainly made me less huffy that he was running late.

Well, that’s a wrap for today. I have more of this countryside to explore so catch you guys later!
