Blustery Day

It’s been cooler out, and today the winds came. For the first time this year it actually felt like autumn in my part of the world. For that I am most thankful. I’m also thankful that I can be here, with you, sharing fabulous things I find. For this post I actually didn’t need to traverse the grid to get my hands on a few goodies. Instead I took advantage of Second Life’s version of distance shopping, the Marketplace. Every now and then I take some time to poke through Marketplace listings just to see what I might find. For this look my hair, my top, and my manicure are all Marketplace dollarbies. I hope you enjoy them!

Pr!tty

This decidedly wind-blown hairstyle is a 1 linden fatpack by Pr!tty on the Marketplace. It comes in a rigged and an unrigged version so you can resize the unrigged version. I really like these types of styles for photography. Since it’s a fatpack you’ll also get all the hair color choices available.

Catastrophic Creations

I love cacti and succulents. So it goes without question that I had to have this dollarbie Marketplace find from Catastrophic Creations. The rainbow colored flower pots are their nod toward Pride, which makes me like the shirt even more. This top is a unisex shirt that comes in a BOM system layer and a Maitreya Lara applier only.

TOASTED

Finally, my pink and bluish purple manicure is a dollarbie Marketplace as well. The single hud will apply the polish to your fingernails and toenails for a cute matching set. The tri-color polish comes in a Maitreya applier only.

Winding Down

The weekend may be slowly coming to a close (alas!), but I think I still have a bit of fun left to squeeze out of it.  Time to put on some comfy but cute clothes, hang out on the porch and enjoy the sunset.  Hey, that counts as partying nowadays, right?

It’s the Kustom

As is my wont, I made my way to this month’s round of Kustom9 and played all the lovely gachas (I refuse to acknowledge this as a problem!), but the one gacha that to me is always super worth it is Amitomo.  You really get bang for your buck when you play their gachas.  At just 69L per pull, it’s hard to come away with anything less than a stellar outfit!  In just two pulls I had a top and skirt combo that is ready for all types of porch chilling.  If you’re lucky, you might just get the rare hair!  As always with Amitomo, their items are made exclusively for Maitreya bodies.  Which will you win?

Keep it Sparkly

And because I’m a bit sad that the weekend is ending, these sparkly tears I’ve got on my cheek from Insomnia Angel give my outfit just that little bit of glam drama I needed.  They’re completely free, no need to join a group.  Just head on upstairs and you’ll find a confessional full of free gifts that are fun, surprising and a bit surreal!

Farewell, sweet weekend.  You will be missed!

Bonbon Goodness

There’s a new group gift over at Bonbon.  Their hair is so cute, I can rarely hold myself back from their new releases.  To get this fun hairstyle (which comes with several different bang options, as well as loads of different hair colour options in the HUD), all you have to do is join their group for 99L.  You gain access to a whole pile of their older gifts too when you join, so totally worth it!

Come on 2020, get your act together!

Leaves are falling all around
It’s time I was on my way
Thanks to you I’m much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it’s time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it’s headed my way

Ramblin’ On

I couldn’t help but quote a bit of Led Zeppelin at you.  When Autumn comes around, that song always has me feeling all the feels!  Anyway, there’s maaaaassive news from Mangula today, and that is that they’ve got 20 free gift boxes lying around the store for everyone to pick up!  No group join required, just click on the boxes scattered around the shop.  You’ll also find that each box doesn’t just contain one gift, they each contain multiple, and that’s hella generous!  I fell in love with the contents of box #6, which is this awesome corseted dress.  I don’t know how long this will be going on for, as it is listed as “limited time only” so get your patoot over there!

Update:  Looks like you have to hit the subscrib-o-matic in order to pick up the gifts!  It’s located over the front desk and is free to join!

I Want Your Stupid Love

Happiness is looking cute in the sunshine.  I’m back in “end of Summer” mode today, with jean shorts, and cropped tops.  But I guess a little nod to the cooler temps are my awesome boots and a little jacket to keep away the nip in the air.  Hey, it will always be summer in my head!

The Alpha

This awesome top, jacket and jean short combo come from Alpha Female.  It’s their latest group gift (one of two cute free gifts you’ll find there) and I love every minute of it.  From the T-Shirt with “stupid love” emblazoned on it, to the ripped shorts, I am super happy with this look. There’s also a set of ankle boots in the box too (not pictured).  To get it, just join the Alpha Female group for free, and click on the vendor.  If you’re looking for male gifts, check the other side of the shop as well, because there are gifts in the Alpha Male section!

Toot it or Boot it

Ah, there’s nothing as empowering as a good set of boots.  I love a rugged look with a floral treatment.  You’ll find these bad boys over at LaPerla on their wall of gifts which is located up on the second floor.  No need to join a group, just pay the vendor 1L and you’re good to go.  There’s also a plain black version of the boot too in the box.  Oh, and there are lots of other great gift options to grab while you’re there!

Lucky 7s

Get the Dice

I’m hitting the road again, and this time I’m heading to the casinos to use up some of my lady luck. This road trip starts on a bike and ends with a helicopter ride home *fingers crossed* when I hit it big at the Casino ^^ Wish me luck Fabsters!!

777 Motors has a really great free group gift that’s just come out! The Join Fee L$7 (I think it’s for their 7 lucky streaks on the slot machines…) which isn’t too hard on the bank account. This vintage style army motorcycle is pretty rad and from what I’ve been told, 2nd gear really amps up the speed and may cause the bike to fly off any roads and into unknown lands… (*cough* like the one that is currently M.I.A. on the chaos sim *sorry*) It’s unknown on when this gift will be gone, so hurry to 777 Motors and snag yours now. (You do have to pay 1L but its refunded right back to you making it free for group members)

Climb Every Mountain

One of the things I’m best at is wearing nonsensical footwear for physical activity.  This talent extends to my RL, I’m sure you’ll all be thrilled to hear.  So today, I’m posing nimbly like a goat in the wilds and hoping that a gust of wind isn’t planning on knocking me down any time soon!

What, More?

LSR is really spoiling us these days with yet another group gift.  The leggings and top I’ve got on are their September group gift, and it gives me random flamenco dancer vibes.  I don’t know why, because there is really nothing of the flamenco about it, except a few frills on the arms.  Ok, I’m rambling again.  Anyway, you can get this super cute outfit by joining their group for 99L.  There are loads of other gifts and lucky boards, making this join fee super worth it.

Every Girl Needs a Good Gown

Occasionally, I like to dress up.  It doesn’t happen that often, to be fair, since I’m usually prancing around in something bright, comfy, weird or a bit goth.  But when a really nice gown comes along, all my pretenses of every day comfort fly out the window and I’ll class up the joint.  Today just the right gown came along!

Goddess

The latest group gift from MAAI has me feeling like a tall drink of sort of intimidating water.  This floor length, curve-hugging gown in a deep red covered in black lace is just right for the cusp of Fall.  I feel like I could lure unsuspecting people under my sway in this look!  I may be waxing a bit poetic, but you know that a good outfit really can create a mood.  To get yours, join the MAAI group for free!

Bejeweled

To go with it, you’ll need the perfect jewelry and Sweet Thing are delivering!  The necklace I’m wearing is just so right with it’s crystals and filigree wire work.  I just love it.  The included HUD has so many different colour options that you’ll be able to make this match all sorts of different looks.  Join the Sweet Thing group for free, and click on the vendor located over the front desk.  There are a bunch of other gifts there too!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some people to entrance.

Love You More

A flower bud in concrete

Somehow I’ll still love you more After all this time being with someone you love you cannot stop loving them even with all their amazing flaws. It’s fall and its time to fall in love with the love of my life all over again. Years upon years nothing will ever change how I feel about how you make me feel deep inside, my heart fills with love and joy when you say my name. It feels like a love anthem for the masses here… I guess its just the vibe of the day because of the song linked above. I can see all the pain, joy, love, brokenhearted, shattered soul, and Halsey’s words ring true to my soul. This song is beautifully wrapped with all the love, betrayal, and forgiveness. ❤ It’s time to live and be happy most of all.

So take the time to do something loving for yourself today! It’s always amazing for self-love and self-growth! Do your nails, go for a walk, brush your hair…
You… YES, YOU! You are amazing! You are loved! You are worth it! ❤ Never give up…

MINIMAL has a new group gift out for their fantastic members and it happens to have my second favorite color (teal) splattered on the walls in beautiful chaos. The gift is free to their group members and the fee to join is L$250, which isn’t that bad if you’re like me and haven’t gotten any of their past group gifts. So I totally scored a bunch of goodies today from the group gift wall.

The moment I saw this mask I had serious flashbacks of The Phantom of the Opera and KNEW I NEEDED to get this image in my head out by forcing you all to have a slight bit of Operatic Love!! I have to say The Phantom is pretty darn sweet for a creepy man who lives in an old building and stalks this woman. To think about it like that, I’m a bit creeped out but he’s still got an amazing voice that can sing me to sleep anytime. Without further distractions, I give you the new free group gift from =Zenith=

=Zenith= has updated their group gift this free butterfly mask is perfect for those Masquerade Balls!! This free gift comes with an unrigged mask with butterflies attached and a hud to change the colors of the butterfly and design on the main mask itself. This mask will make you feel mysterious and very sexy at the same time. Though we will all know who you are when we turn on the tags feature and see your avatar name floating above your head. ^^
