Centre Stage

When I’m ready to take centre stage, and I need to look absolutely ravishing, I really do want to look a little magical.  Fine, a lot magical.  I’ve found some really beautiful freebies that help me achieve my goal – you’ll look amazing too!

Redeux it all Again!

Nevi mentioned a few days ago that there were some free gifts over at Redeux, so I went to check it out!  If you haven’t made it there yet, I highly recommend it because I had a hard time choosing which gifts to show you – there are loads and loads of pretty ones to choose from.  I settled on this gorgeous green bathing suit/bodysuit sized for Maitreya bodies from The Forge.  The little fluttery details around the hips are absolutely brilliant.  I also found this necklace made of roses by Devious Mind that I absolutely adore – truly a standout!  Don’t delay, Redeux is only around until the 21st, so grab your gifts by joining the free group before it’s too late!

Eye See You

My fave fave faaaaave eye designer, Euphoric, have some free gifts at their store!  If you haven’t checked them out yet, you really should.  Each time they put a new ad out I gasp at the prettiness and detail of the work.  Amazingly, they have some free eyes out right now as a group gift (and a few other goodies too).  Best of all, you can make use of this gift whether you have a mesh head or a system body because they have options for both, as well as several different colours!  The Euphoric group is free to join, so hustle on over and pick up some new peepers!

Go turn some heads!

That Crazy Feeling Again

I’m having another one of those weird “put me in a bodysuit, stick some stickers on me and let me dance like a lunatic” moments.  I feel like they may happen more often than I’d like to admit… Luckily I found some great gifts to get me through this moment of insanity… though if you’d like to join me, the more the merrier (and the madder!).

Flowing Free

I was excited to hear that Pr!tty has found another more permanent home again, and to celebrate there are a bunch of new group gifts out!  There are also a whole bunch of older ones if you didn’t get the chance to grab them last time around.  You can join the Pr!tty group for 200 Lindens, but there are more than 10 gifts to be had, most of them fatpacks of hair, so it really is a great deal!  Today, I’m wearing the Yoshi hair, which is super adorbs with little space buns on the top.  Love it!

Outside the Box

Asteroidbox have released another group gift as well, and it’s this slick bodysuit which comes in four bright summery colours.  The electric blue really tickled my fancy, so I slapped it on and got a bit wacky.  Isn’t it nice?  It makes me very happy to tell you the truth.  You can join the Asteroidbox group for 75 Lindens and pick up a few other gifts while you’re there.

Mixing it Up

Have you ever felt both girly and tough at the same time?  I mean, in the way that you can’t decide which way to go?  I always used to fill out those quizzes in magazines like Seventeen and YM back in the day and I never fit into one category only.  I’d always sit somewhere between girly, goth, bohemian and sporty.  You can imagine it was slightly frustrating – I never knew which style I really was, but in a way it was completely freeing.  I could be whatever I wanted without any quiz dictating who I should be.  I guess that’s what this look is about!

Search for Strawberries!

I was over at The Guest List cart sale, and they’ve set up a fun little hunt!  If you keep your eyes peeled, you will notice that on most carts there is a little strawberry hiding – inside is a free gift!  It may take a little time for the strawberry to rez, but it is there, I promise.  I found the prize on the Salty cart, and how cute is it?  It’s this super adorable little blue checked romper.  It ticks the box of being absolutely girly and fun!

Don’t Choke…

There’s a new event on the grid called Output!  They have a group gift out, which is this cute little spiky choker by Little Fox that I picked up by joining the Output group!  The group is free to join, so that makes this little bauble completely free!  I guess this choker represents the tough side of me – whatevs, I think it all works well together!  Go grab yours!

Time for a picnic, I think!

You’re a Gem!

One of the best things about Second Life is the fact that there are so many awesome places for you to take selfies.  And if you can’t find an awesome place, you make an awesome place.  That’s what I managed to do today with a few free gifts and a bit of creativity!

The Outfit

Before I get to my glittering surroundings, let me tell you about this cute outfit I grabbed over at the Vanity Event for free!  Scandalize is always generous with their gifts, and now that they’re running the Vanity Event, they haven’t slowed down one bit.  If you join the free group there, you will find this lovely little top and bottom combo in a truly appealing mint hue.  You can wear the top, bottom and sleeves all separately and there are two different options in the folder:  glitter (which of course I chose) and plain.  I love it!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya

The Gems

You can totally selfie it up with these giant gems from Melt!  I grabbed them for free over at The Gacha Life.  I joined their free group and clicked on all the little gift bags at the event, and lo and behold, one of them contained a whole bunch of pretty, colourful and glowing massive gems!  You can decorate your little world to your heart’s content.  Whee!

Shine on, my darlings!

One in a Melon

Isn’t watermelon awesome?  It’s not just refreshing and delicious, nor is it just a nostalgic fruit of your childhood… it’s also pretty and oh so in this season!  You know, I never thought I’d get the chance to write the sentence “nostalgic fruit of your childhood”.  Some girls really do have all the luck!

Make a Splash

As I was hopping about the grid, I noticed that NyDesign has a new group gift out!  It’s this oh so cute bathing suit and cover up combo that comes with several different options on the HUD:  you’ve got five different fruity looks to choose from (lemons and strawberries, here you come!), and you can also decide whether you want the cover up to be fruity or the bathing suit….or both!  I can’t contain my excitement…it’s all too much awesome!  Best of all, the NyDesign group is completely free to join, making this great beach look completely FREE!

While I was over at this month’s edition of The Liaison Collaborative, I found that Zibiska has a free gift out!  Just pay the vendor 0L and you’ll get a fantastic set of very pigmented eye shadows.  I can’t deal with the prettiness.  This gift comes with appliers for Lelutka, Catwa, Omega, LAQ and even tattoo layers!  Get this FREE awesomeness now!

Anyone want to spit some seeds with me? I said WITH ME, not AT ME!! Yeesh!

Practical Magic

Hey all!  My vacation is quickly coming to a close, so I thought I might try conjuring up some magic forces to see if I can extend it a bit.  I mean, I’m not being greedy or anything, but you can hardly blame me for wanting to stay away from reality for just a little bit longer…

Eschewing Reality

It’s time for another round of Syndicate Sunday!  If you’re not familiar with it, then the concept is simple:  a bunch of your favourite stores have put discounted items out – in fact, every store involved has an item out for only 69 Lindens!  Today, I’m showing off the Modern Witch dress from Witchcraft (it’s got loads of different texture options), as well as a cute septum piercing from Astara – that comes with a bindi and nose stud as well that have an HUD to change the colours of the stones.  All this fun for just 69 Lindens!  Hurry up though, it all disappears on Tuesday, so you’d better rush to get the deals!  Make sure you check out the Syndicate Sunday Website to see what else is on offer!

Those Summer Nights

Summer evenings are quite literally the best, aren’t they?  I mean, summer days are full of fun and warmth and picnics and roller coasters – but summer evenings…. Ah, summer evenings!   During summer evenings you can sit down and reflect on all the beauty that summer contains, and think how deeply grateful you are for it.  I like that feeling… don’t you?

Back to The Garden!

The Gacha Garden is back for another round, and as per usual the creators are spoiling us with gifts!  I walked around and found all sorts of goodies, including:

• Super cute skort set by NYU that makes me think of picnics!  (Sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, and Physique)
• Gorgeous moon circlet by Michan (with an HUD to change to either silver or gold)
• Set of 4 poses by The Owl

And as always, all are FREE!  Just join the Gimme Gacha group at the landing point and have a blast, there are loads more goodies to be had!

Queen of The Jungle

I’m feeling very Jungle queen today!  Like I could swing from a vine and drink from a coconut – or maybe even be an extra in a Duran Duran video.  I’m probably not wearing enough makeup for the latter, so let’s go with jungle queen!  Now where is that Tarzan hiding?

Tribal Sauce

After seeing all the cool finds that everyone else turned up on the Around the Grid in 80 Days Hunt, I took to hunting a bit myself, and came across this really great suit from Sasheba’s Closet.  I love the way it skims off my curves!  I’m betting you could even use it for some roleplaying if the mood strikes! It also comes with a fairly extensive HUD to change the colours to many different looks!  I searched out the hot air balloon in the store that contains this pretty number, and paid one little linden for it!

Mermaiden

I’ve made my decision, I’m becoming a mermaid.  You can’t change my mind, I’m sorry.  I’ve adjusted my scales, put on some fishy netting and pulled up my leggings.  The wind is blowing in my hair as I head to dive into the ocean!

Hunt On, Hunters!

As I mentioned the other day, I was sniffing high and low at Mermaid Cove for the little hunt prizes that are peppered about the place.  I found a 1L prize from Alaskametro – this netted tank top that gives a a very beachy cover-up look to any bathing suit – it’s sized for Maitreya, Physique, Hourglass and XS – M.  I also managed to find some really cool leggings and harnesses by 1313 Mockingbird Lane that cost me 1 Linden as well.  All it takes is a little hunting time, and they can be yours too!

The Waiting…

…is the hardest part, of course.

But YOU don’t have to wait to grab these great gifts from JUMO!

Being Transparent

JUMO Fashion is celebrating its birthday this week by opening up their in-world group for FREE! The join fee is regularly 350L, so this is kind of a big deal. 😀

They’ve also set out some really lovely gifts, two of which I’m wearing here.

Starting at the top… the Nanette Jewelry BDay includes the gorgeous statement necklace and earrings. Click any piece to bring up a resizer menu if you need it.

I’m also wearing the Gigi Outfit BDay Version, which includes the top, pants, and shoes (actually, the shoes are part of the pants). Sizes include:

Shirt:

• Standard Mesh XXS-L (no alpha is included)
• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

Pants:

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

There are two things you need to know about this outfit:

1. It’s SEE-THROUGH. And by that, I mean not only the back and a peek-a-boo front panel of the shirt, but also the pants! That’s right, the pants are completely transparent. You may want to add a pair of sexy panties if you plan to go out in public… or not, if you plan to stay at home with your honey. 😉
2. It’s SHINY, especially the shirt. You won’t notice unless you turn on your windlight, but I’m just letting you know, in case you plan to take some photos.

Enjoy!

❤ Serena
