It’s time for another hunt at Ricielli – This time in celebration of a new year!
For a limited time you can hunt for (big – easy to find) yellow stars at the mainstore, priced at 15L each. There are 20 hunt icons to purchase and most of the items come in several colours ;). I have included three of my favourite looks from the hunt prizes, but at the bottom of my post I have also included the complete prize preview poster so you can see all of the prizes available.
And… as promised, here is the prize poster preview so that you can check out the prizes before you pay your 15L! I picked them all up, but it’s your call 🙂 Happy hunting, Fabulouses!
Another event that you won’t want to miss is Gothmas by Gaslight(GxG). To quote the web site, “Gothmas by Gaslight is an annual holiday shopping event with a dark twist. It primarily caters to the goth, steam/dieselgoth and the dark Victoriana communities.” So… if you’re sick of cutsy holiday/Christmas stuff, and you have a slightly dark side, this is the place for you. 😉
This sexy dress is a free opening gift from .enfant terrible., which you can find at Gothmas by Gaslight. The textures are gorgeous, and I love the metalwork on the bodice. My shoes – which you can’t see – are quite lovely, and are also made by .enfant terrible. You can check them out when you visit their GxG shop. 🙂
My choker and ring are both 20L gacha items from !The Little Bat (TLB) at GxG. My earrings – which you also can’t see – are a free GxG gift from *Faerycat Designs*. They are little black ornaments with gold stripes, if you’re interested. Finally, how fun are these poses?! They are both from a 5-pose set by Flash Friendly Poses, which you can pick up for 100L at GxG. The awesome steampunk gun is included. 🙂
Ah the start of a new week. In case you have a spot of the Monday-blues, I’ve made 3 cute outfits for you using mostly free and cheap items!
Now if you’re a shoe-maniac like me, you’re going to be so excited when I show you these great freebies from Shoetopia! It’s an all-shoe fair with loads of great designers raising money for Soles 4 Souls. Whilst I was busy spending my money away on footwear, I came across a couple booths that had free shoes! The adorable floral lace-up deck shoes you see above are G-field’s gift for the event and the unique peep toes below are the female gift from Maimai (yes, there’s a gift for men too!)
(Update: Miss canning has taken down a lot of the gifts seen in this post. There are a few still available though. Sorry about that)
And if you haven’t paid a visit to Miss Canning in a while or you’re simply unaware of them, better get there quick because this beautifully made leather jacket below is one of the limited-time only group gifts! It has a colour change HUD as well! Miss Canning’s group is free to join and there are tons of gifts you can get, there are also items that are less that 10L$ on the wall too!
Neo and Soo have a brand new store set up and they have a few gifties set out for you! If you own a pair of slink feet you can pick up a tattoo applier for free. The HUD has two cute designs to choose from and pretty feet are yours! Also free are the ribbon arm tattoos and the ‘everybody wake up’ pose! The store is small but the items are really cute and everything is very reasonably priced!
Hair: Truth – Arianna Shirt: Hpmd – tshirt flower pattern (Group gift) Armtattoos: Neo – Gift for you (free) Feet tattoos: Neo – Slink feet tattoos puripuri (Free) Pose: Soo – Everybody wake up (Free)
I picked up this cute Best Friends Forever Pose at [Kikay] whilst out on The 8th Unknown Hunt, and asked Fab Bloggers and all-around great gals Love Trill and Pru Rexroth to come and help me show it off. These ladies are truly good sports, patiently waiting while I played with windlight and my computer coughed and sputtered (eventually booting me out of SL). Thankfully, The Cheeky Tiramisu Cafesim is all decked out for autumn, so the ladies had something pretty to look at while they waited. However… when Love started threatening the wildlife, I knew it was time to wrap things up. Anyway, the pose is very sweet, and I think everyone’s fannies look perfect!
I wasn’t going to show you the front of my outfit, since it kind of doesn’t match, but I finally decided that the sweater was too cute not to show you. The I ❤ Animals sweater is the September group gift from Strawberry Jam. There are a few other gifts available, so be sure to stop by! My skirt is T8UH gift from Fabouzz. I should warn you that it is mesh and runs verrrrry small. I typically wear a standard size XS in mesh, but believe it or not, I’m wearing a large here. My mouse ears are a previous The Arcade Gacha item from [Auxiliary], and I have no idea why I felt the need to wear them, except that I thought they sort of fit the mood of my mish-mashed ensemble! 😉
Credits for what Love and Pru are wearing are below.
The 8th Unknown Hunt runs until November 30, 2013, and all items are free. You can see my previous coverage of this event here.
Every time I install an upgraded viewer, I wonder, “Will this be the one that crashes my 3 year-old computer?” I spent 3 hours on Monday morning doing a clean install of the new Firestorm Beta viewer because I wanted the full value of materials-enabled items. I really prefer Firestorm to the regular SL viewer, but I think this might be “the one.” I’m pretty sure I hear coughing and gasping every time I crank up the graphics, and too many windlight changes practically blow up my graphics card. Worst of all, I’m seeing tile lines again. GAH!! 😦
Anyway, a couple of days ago, I spent some time checking out The 8th Unknown Hunt. Unlike other hunts going on at the moment, this one is not huge, and it includes stores that are new, or that you may never have heard of before. To quote the web site: “The original concept for The Unknown Hunt was to introduce hunters to stores that they had never been to or never heard of before. It was also to help new stores and less established ones gain more awareness and customers.” I love visiting new-to-me stores, so this hunt was a lot of fun! Here, I’m wearing the hunt gift from Olegun, the Halter Dress with Belt and Flower. My pose is one of a set of five poses called PINUP by Uncertain Smile Poses.
Over the mantle, you see 2 more hunt prizes. The Vintage Frames are a gift from Sari-Sari, and the art deco lamp is a gift from Sparrow by Design. The SbD gift also includes a swimsuit, which I’m not showing in this post.
This delicate jewelry is the gift from .sleeping koala. The picture really doesn’t do it justice, as the metalwork around the edges is so intricate that I just couldn’t get a good photo. My pose, which of course, you can’t really see here (sorry!) is one of a set of six poses from Flash Friendly Poses (includes mirrors). To make up for not showing the whole pose, let me share with you that there are LOTS of hunts going on at FFP, so be sure to stop by and pick up all the great gifts! 😀
Could someone please come and get these cats before my dogs see them? Wait… they’re part of the rug?
Don’t want to dress up this Halloween but have all of those events to attend? I found the perfect outfit for you at Jazzitude!
Jazzitude’s October group gift includes the plaid capris, mesh shirt (also includes a non-mesh version of the shirt), and the matching shoes. The group is free to join, and there is a matching men’s outfit as well!
Argrace has placed out this super cute braided hairstyle with the hat included as a free gift. It is available in four hat prints, and three hair colours. There is even a men’s gift (without the braids), so make sure you drag your guy down to pick it up!
Hope you are having a great day…. I spent my morning over at the Gallery Gift Shop, 2nd Anniversary Hunt. Here’s the goodies 😉
