Wrapped in a Warm Glow

Hello Fabulouses! Feeling quite lucky after our last two finds in Brii Underground’s 1L Surf Girl Hunt, Ripley and I returned once more to see what else we could uncover. Thanks to the pupster’s talented nose, we came away with yet another complete outfit. Big grin!

Orange is the Happiest Color

Inside the clam shell, I discovered the bright, cheerful Lina outfit.  With a handkerchief-style, sleeveless crop top and shorts in the same vibrant pattern, this jaunty outfit is sure to leave you with lighthearted spirits and a bounce in your step.  Coordinating sandals for slink flat feet in a matching orange tone complete the look.  I love the batik print and found this ensemble perfect for a day of fun in the sun.  One added plus is that the appliers for the top and shorts are separate, which allows for the possibility of mixing and matching to create additional combinations.

What’s Included:

• Fitmesh shorts and top appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink
• Fitmesh top and shorts for classic avatars in XS – XL
• Mesh top and shorts for classic avatars in XS – XL
• Alpha Layers for classic avatars
• Sandals for flat feet in a perfectly coordinating shade

Still Plenty of Time

The Surf Girl Hunt at Brii Underground runs through February 28th, so you still have have plenty of time to scoop up some complete outfits for yourself for only 1L each.  All the prizes Ripley and I ferreted out in this hunt were fabulous, and the shells were really not that difficult to locate.  I highly encourage you to head on over to Brii Underground and do some sleuthing yourself.   You won’t be disappointed!  Until my next post, happy shopping hunting!

Mooncake Hunt @ Virtual Asia

“Every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its maximum brightness for the entire year, the Chinese celebrate “zhong qiu jie.” Children are told the story of the moon fairy living in a crystal palace, who comes out to dance on the moon’s shadowed surface. The legend surrounding the “lady living in the moon” dates back to ancient times.”

At the Virtual Asia City, running until 15th October, you can take part in The Mooncake Hunt. Searching for these delicious cakes around the city by using the SLURLS and hints below you will find some really amazing items.

Also while you are in the City be sure to take a look around the carts that decorate the streets as you might find some more amazing bargains!

Nina: Lost In Paradise With Her EMO-tions

Renee sent me an IM and was practically squee-ing over this new group gift from EMO-tions called Colien.  It’s a very sassy, curly hairstyle that she knew I’d love to show off!   Activate your free inworld EMO-tions group tag and pick up  your free copy of Colien too!

Make sure you have a stop at Cupcakes store too and join their free inworld group.  Currently they have a few free skins in their notices.  I am wearing one of them found as a group gift called Nina which came with lots of fun things to play with like three pairs of eyes, teeth layer, cleavage layer, freckles, body freckles, lipsticks, a shape and more.

The Bird of Paradise Tattoo I am wearing is not free, but I couldn’t help myself from showing it.  I don’t usually wear ink inworld, but this tattoo made by Tenjin is soooooo pretty!  If you’d like it too, you can pick it up on sale at Acid Lily, today only for 70L.

Blistered & Blue

When I saw this skin at The 75L Skin Store, I knew I had to share it with you guys!!  The skin I am wearing is made by Sweet & Tart and is called Blistered.  For 75L you receive three skin tones, cleavage option, pubic hair option, freckle layers and makeup layers.  I am wearing the lightest of the three tones, and all three are gorgeous!  This skin is only available at The 75L Skin Store until Sunday night – so hurry down there and grab a demo to see if you like it on your shape – it’s sure a sweet deal!

At the risk of looking all matchy matchy to Carson (he just showed the mens gift!), I am going to show you the B!asta 1000 Member Subscribo Gift for Women.  The Miramar Dress includes the dress itself, train, and also the matching gloves.  B!asta has so many wonderful gifts in store right now either through hunts, group gifts, or subscribo gifts.

One more thing to show you!  Mary Jane Shoes has a new group gift out!  You can now pick up the Cheeky heels in Taupe with you free inworld group membership!

Autumn in Paris… Metro

This beautiful amber cocktail dress from Paris Metro can be yours too for free by locating a hidden butterfly at the Four Seasons Plaza location, as they are participating in the Butterflies are Free Hunt that runs until October 25th!

The lovely jewels I am wearing are a gift from Fulo! They are called Gabrielle, and also come in white gold for free. I should also mention that Fulo is currently having a huge sale, so make sure you check out their designs while you are in there picking up your gift!

The hair I am modelling today is a free hairstyle from Exile called Susan, featured at Savoir Hair.  I know…  this is not a new freebie and it has been blogged previously, but it’s fabulous and may be new to some!  It comes in a fatpack of many colours so you can pick your shade!

Renee showed me these eyes a couple days ago – aren’t they gorgeous!? Poetic Colors has these Moon – Autumn eyes out as a freebie in both dark and bright.  I am not sure if it’s just me or if it’s the way the eyes are, but I look at them from one side and they are a deep brown and then from the other, a greyish colour… Very cool eyes!  Is it just me?  I’m curious – try them, and leave a comment to let me know!

Miss Milkshake

Ahh..  I love the beginning of the month 🙂  This is when so many wonderful designers put out fresh group gifts for us…  Like Kristabel at Ashmoot!  The group is free to join and there are a few other gifts to pick up on the group gift wall.   This month’s gift is a super short white and silver dress sure to turn all heads your way!  I have added to the outfit a free necklace from Fulo called Gabrielle Necklace which also came with earrings.  The necklace comes in both yellow and gold varieties so you can match them to your outfits easily!

I bought this skin made by Glam Affair last week from The Dressing Room, in love with the skin tone, bright eyes and shiny pink lips.  I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to show it off..  and I think I have found it!  It goes so beautifully with this hair called Honey Milkshake from Lamb that is currently 50L on special for Fifty Linden Friday!

I’m in dress mode and have quite a few of them to show you today!

Cool Beans sub-o members were sent the black and white Michelle dress recently.  This is a classic dress that can be work most anywhere.  I think it would look pretty cute on a child AV as well.
