The First Snow

Hello there Fabulouses!  Living in Canada, it is definitely not the first snow of the season for me in real life, but this is the first bit of snow this season that I have seen in Second Life!  The Atheneaum Sim is twinkling beautifully with sparkly fresh snow, and for just a while I forget that I hate winter, because it’s so pretty!

Good thing I had a new parka!

Actually I had two new parkas, because at Scandalize on the massive group gift wall there is the Parka in White AND Midnight that includes the top in two versions and the hooded furry parka.  I decide to wear the white top from the white set and the midnight coat from the midnight set, but you can wear them however you like.  Also included, but not shown on my avatar is a tailed version of the top!  The Scandalize inworld group is 100L to join, but you’re totally missing out if you aren’t in it!  At least go check out the wall of gifts!

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus

Bakaboo

Bakaboo is quickly becoming a favorite designer for me. Not only is the quality of the build stunning, the style is on point. I look forward to their gift each month because I know it will be something extraordinary and not another hoodie or ball cap. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good hoodie as much as the next guy but I like something different now and then. And Bakaboo is the go to for stylish you-don’t-see-this-everyday fashions.

Autumn Classic

I’m still unpacking and “oohing” and “ahhing” over all the great free gifts from the Gacha Garden. I may have made a silly little “eeee” sound when I saw this lovely dress from Unrepentant. Doesn’t it have a classic late 1960’s , Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibe?!

Avril Autumn

This is one of the three free Avril dress you’ll find in the FREE gift from Unrepentant. Yes, I said three. Each dress is the buttery Fall yellow and brown but the other two feature the cute kitties from the Avril Gacha. I found the dress to be very well made and the fit was perfect.

Sizes Included

• One Size – FitMesh

The Gacha Garden is a wonderful place to find affordable Gachas and a ton of free gifts so don’t miss it! Oh look, here’s your TAXI!

Fab Mad

The Gacha Garden is in full ‘Bloom’ this November and it’s full of fabulous Gachas and lots of free gifts for us. You can simple join the FREE Gimme Gacha group at the landing point and all those gifts are yours. Plus, being part of the group means you will get updates and be able to chat with other Garden-Goers. One more thing… the group has a trades chat!

Fabia is Fabulous

It’s like Fabia put out this lovely FREE gift hair just for me! This is ‘Tanya’ and the gift hair with attached hat comes with a HUD for five fun streaked red styles. All redhead, all the time! You can see why I liked it. 😉

Feelin’ a little Mad…

about BoHo style, that is! My gorgeous jacket, vest and shirt is one of the prizes for the “Mad Hatter” gacha from !gO! and at just 75L per play… I played more than a few times. I love that in the !gO! gachas the commons are just as fun and desirable as the Rares. And with twenty seven possible prizes to play for, I bet you’ll find one that makes you “go mad”.

November

November makes me feel.. quiet. Thoughtful. Maybe even a bit melancholy. Or maybe I need to listen to Juli and get back to work.  **Thinks about it for a minute**  Nah…

In the Army

Lady in the Shadows

I don’t know about y’all but I’m more than ready for the weekend! All the good Halloween parties are happening this weekend both in RL and on the Grid. Now I can’t help you with the RL parties but I think I’ve got you covered for the Grid Parties.

I probably could have filled up a week or two of posts with just the Boo! at Blacklace Hunt. The prizes are just that great. So I had to pick just two favorites. You saw the lingerie, and here’s my dress-up fav. This is the “Shadows” gown from Tinroof. Tinroof has set out three gifts for the hunt: the gown, a crow for your shoulder and the lovely masquerade type mask I’m holding. (with it’s own hold animation) At first, I only wanted the mask but I also found the gown and as soon as I saw it, I feel in love. The fabric is just gorgeous and purple is my favorite color. Plus, it’s just slinky enough to be smexy without being … um, overly reveling. perfect for a masked ball, don’t you think?

Sizes Included

• Belleza
• eBody
• Maitreya
• Ocacin
• SLink
• Standard Mesh XS – XL

A quick P.S. – Love showed us this gorgeous ‘statement’ necklace here. It’s still available for FREE at FaMESHed! But don’t wait too long if you need it!

A Fine Fall Camp Out

As y’all may know, I’ve been on ( and off ) the grid for a loooong time now. Hush, now and listen to me ya whippersnappers! *Threatens you with her cane*  ANYWAY, a bunch of things have come and gone in SL. Remember sparkle bling and shoes with heel clompy sounds? Yeah, good riddance. But one thing I haven’t seen in a long time and kinda missed was camping chairs. They used to be everywhere, now, not so much.  So imagine my surprise when I saw a pair of them over at WellMade!

Hello There Camping Chairs

I went to my new new-to-me designer to peruse the lucky boards ( They’re awesome btw) and saw the camping chairs. And one of the prizes was this super cute casual Yumi pullover. I quickly took a seat and 30 minutes later it was mine. Yumi comes with a HUD for eight colors so I bet there’s one that’ll be your favorite.
