Make it Every Day

I’m about to go on a rant about how Valentine’s Day is every day.  Sure, it’s trite, people who avoid the holiday say those very words all the time to justify not buying into the commercial aspect of it all, but it is rather true.  It’s all about making time for that special someone!  You can cover that someone with kisses, Valentine’s Day or not!

One Hand in my Pocket

HolliPocket are having a bit of a clear-out sale right now – all their items are currently 40% off, and some of their older clothes are heading off to the retirement pile.  Along with all that goodness, there are two new group gifts:  this slinky little bralette top in two different versions  (one is a bit more transparent) in six different colours, and the kisses tattoo that meanders down my chest and back (with Omega and Maitreya appliers, as well as BOM system layers).  The even better news is that the group is temporarily free to join until March 12th.  Don’t wait!

Sunshine Summertime

Okay, I have to admit, even me, the girl who loves the fall and even enjoys rainy gloomy weather has been daydreaming about summertime! I hear the beach calling to me and I want to go play in the sun! Summertime is almost here and these gifts at the Whore Couture Fair 5 are perfect for some fun in the sun. Before I continue, I want to mention again, as the name suggests, the Whore Couture Fair is an adult themed event, though many of the gifts are not adult themed.

These super kawaii sunnies are the 5 linden WCF5 gift from Epic. Most of the time I’d say pink is not my color, however if anything could make me want to wear pink, these sunglasses could! The glasses are fully mesh and can be re-sized via a touch menu.

Tattoos and piercings are always among my favorite personal wardrobe items. Second Life makes it so easy to wear both. I genuinely like the look of these unisex facial piercings from Datum. They are Datum’s 5 linden WCF5 gift. The set is fully mesh and can be manually re-sized.

Speaking of tattoos, my photo really does not do this beautiful under-bust tattoo from TrevaH enough justice. It’s really quite detailed, and very pretty. This 5 linden WCF5 gift comes with appliers for Omega, TMP, Slink, and Maitreya. There is also a classic system layer for each color, the tattoo comes in a white version as well as the black version shown. If you enjoy tattoos, this one is a must have!

Continuing with the pink and cute, this very girly bikini is the 5 linden WCF5 gift from Holli Pocket. This pink heart print bikini seems almost made to go with the sunnies from Epic. I like that this bikini has the fun wrap around laces and still has some decent coverage on the top and bottom, I don’t feel indecently exposed! This gift includes classic system layers, and an Omega applier.

Lastly, the uber cute beach ball pose in the top photo is part of the pose-pack gift from Belle Poses. The gift includes 4 poses with a beach ball prop, which for just 5 lindens is a steal of a deal! I love poses that include the necessary props. You can add this pose set to your collection for just 5 lindens at WCF5.

Flowers in Betty’s Boudoir

If you need a romantic gown for the upcoming Valentine’s weekend — or for any occasion — now is your chance to pick up a Junbug classic as a FREE group gift. If you stop by Junbug‘s main-store location, the current group gift is this stunning Betty’s Boudoir in sky blue brocade. You’ll need to wear your group tag (200L to join the group) but when you consider the gifts and benefits, the sum is worth joining the group.

This gown is highly detailed mesh in all the standard sizes. The corset has stunning ribbons and buttons down the front that are perfect for romance. I did pair mine with a lacy underlay for added romance, but the gown is also perfect just by itself.

The devil is in the details as they say! But this deal is certainly heavily! Stop by ECCO main-store next where you can get two perfectly FREE gifts of jewelry to go with your new gown! My simply stunning Pearl Swoosh Earrings are a FREE gift exclusively for members of the FabFree Group. Just wear your FabFree tag (it’s FREE to join the group!) to pick these up! Not only are they delicate and lovely, but they also include a texture change hud with five color choices!

My hair clip is another generous FREE gift, this time ECCO is giving it FREE as part of SL frees & offers. Wear your SL frees & offers group tag (also FREE to join) and you can pick up this lovely Jewels Hair Flower in three metal choices!

Like all group gifts they won’t last forever… be sure to hurry over and pick them up while they are available!

Rockin’ Out with Holli and Dave

Sometimes you need a little rock time… and today I took Holli and Dave with me. Really!

You see, I headed to the Purple Gator Rock Club, but I knew I needed the duds to go with it, so before I went downtown to rock out, I hit the hunt scene first! The Newify Your Body Hunt has some great creators participating, including Hollipocket, and I was thrilled to be able to pick up this fantastic Lick Me Up Sweater in Peppermint Aqua for FREE as part of that hunt! YUM!

P.S. You’re looking for a little New Year’s hat for this hunt!

And you know a girl has GOT to do her nails before heading to the club for music, sooooo…. my next stop was Hello Dave, where there is an extra special gift out right now! You can pick up Hello Dave‘s 100 Group Gift out at the moment that is a HUGE mega gift pack. This is a FREE group gift to group member, and the group is FREE to join and the pack is jam packed with appliers.

I’m wearing a reverse blue French mani, but there are just too many in the pack to even describe. I’m going to include a copy of the advertisement below. But seriously, if you love slink/omega nail appliers, do NOT miss out on this amazingly generous nail mani/pedi gift!

Summer Time, and the Livin’s Easy

This is the time of year when if you live in the south, you want to wear as little as possible as often as possible. It’s just to darn hot outside! So for this post, Pru is wearing a vibrant pink bikini (and this one is mini!) by Holli Pocket that you can pick up for FREE at Fab Free Headquarters. I do think the little bit of white lace on the bikini top is a nice detail. This FREE gift at FFHQ comes in regular system layers, and includes an Omega applier.

To go over her itsy bitsy teeny weeny pink bikini bottoms, Pru is also wearing some super cute boy shorts by Pixy Stix. These shorties are a current gacha prize at the Oh My Gacha event. There are several patterns available at just 50 lindens per play at Oh My Gacha. I also love these kinds of shorts for just lazing around the house!

Last but not at all least, this striking toffee toned skin is a current VIP group gift from Birdy. The gift costs an initial 1 linden but the 1 linden is instantly refunded. If  you’re not already a Birdy group member, the one time join fee is 150 lindens, however there are 2 group gifts skins (this one included) and you can get some of the appliers to go with the skins for just 1 linden. This gift includes an applier for Naym Naym mouth, a tattoo freckle layer, face dew in 2 shades, 3 shades of contouring, 3 shades of gloss, eyeliner, as well as a no brows version of the skin.

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and staying cool!

Summer in the South

If you’ve ever been to the South in the summer, you know the word hot doesn’t begin to describe the temperature outside. Not only is it at times oppressively hot, but it can be stiflingly humid as well. This prompts those of us who manage to thrive in the South to wear as little as possible without going naked during the hot months of summer! Now, I have no authority on this, but I think that’s where this “Mary Ann of Gilligan’s Island” style button-down crop top tied in the front comes from. It’s need to beat the heat and still look cute! I do think that the style is casual, cute, and yes, sexy.

Where can you find this flirty little top? It’s Holli Pocket‘s contribution to the “I hunt. You hunt. We hunt. Seuss Hunt”! The Seuss Hunt is a dollarbie hunt, and you’ll be hunting a red and white striped hat. There are several other hunts going on at Holli Pocket as well so keep an eye out. The shirt is fully mesh and comes with multiple sizes and the needed alpha layer.

The shorts Pru’s wearing are the current group gift at Lolita. They are the essential pair of summer blue-jean shorts. They come in regular system layers, and include appliers for Omega, Slink, and TMP. I really like that these great shorts are not to short and not high rise or low riders. Everyone needs a pair like this. Also, as a group gift, these shorts are FREE with your Lolita tag. The Lolita group is also FREE to join.

All together, you get the perfect summer outfit for just one linden!

Part Of Your World

American Bazaar are continuing their 4th birthday celebrations and more great free items have appeared on the gift tables outside the store from some very generous designers who are helping with the festivities! I have already shown some of the gifts in this post here so be sure to check that out too!

There are lots of gifts that come with applier HUDS so if you wear breast enhancements then you will find some great additions to your wardrobe! Of course if you don’t wear them then all the items are workable for you too! The Dat Titteh top by Hollipocket is one of those that looks just as cute on mesh enhancements as without though it comes with applier support for Lola Tango and Lush. I kind of like the contrast of the bright blue with my Ariel Red hair! My shoes are the Singapore Cream shoes for SLink High Feet by Essenz. These are amazing shoes to have in your collection as they will go with pretty much anything so be sure to pick these up!

The Lace Corset by Biddy is another great top that comes with applier support for Lola’s, Phat Azz and Banned. I think it goes really well with the Fitted Mesh Skinny Pants that are by American Bazaar. The pants arent part of the celebration gifts but I bought them so I could show the tops to you. They are very reasonably priced and are definately going to be ones I wear very often!

I am a sucker for a cute pastel dress and I just adore the Azura Dress (Coral) by LadyLuck! The Dulce Beret by Ariskea is the perfect little addition to wear with the dress and looks so adorable!

My hair and skin in this picture are two great items available at the new round of The Arcade Gacha! The Skye II SKin by Glam Affair is so pretty with such expressive eyes. The tintable eyebrows that I am wearing are also included! I am completely in love with the gorgeous Ocean hair by Olive! Their gacha contains some amazing colourways with the option of winning them in this Ocean style or another style called Belle.. hmmm.. I wonder who that could be modelled after?

My nails are the gorgeous Princess Glitter Nails by Free Bird and are their prize in the Enhance My Avatar Hunt. The prize costs L$5 to purchase! Pink glittery nails make Tiana very happy!

Hunting for Trouble

Hello my lovelies! I have some great hunt gifts from Holli Pocket to show you that are sure to make you drool! These hunt prizes can be worn with or without implants. I felt a little sassy today and needed some big curves to go with all that sass, hahaha, so I chose to wear my Lolas Tango. I also finally opened up the latest gift from Little Bones. I really adore the new colors that come with their gift hairs. This one is appropriately named Trouble. These locks are tousled and long with an edgy shaved side. The hair can be worn with or without a hair base, I picked up the pack of Little Bones hair bases at their main-local. Before I do some showing off, I also want to mention that there are SEVERAL hunts going on at Holli Pocket. A lot of them are ending soon, so now is a good time to go hunting, especially if you’re a “boobie” girl.

Hunt Time At HolliPocket!

I ended up in HolliPocket last night as I was wandering and discovered that the store was part of quite a few different hunts. Some run out at the end of the month, so come by to get them soon!

My favourite thing about the hunts they are in is this Babydoll Dress! I think its one of my favourite mesh pieces ever made in SL. You can dress it up so many different ways its perfect and it comes in flat chested options too which is a great little addition. It is the prize in several different hunts and so you can start a little collection of different colours!

Also.. this hair from Calico that is in the Winter Solstice Hunt is just amazing and I love that you can wear the forehead jewellery piece seperately.
