Seeing Red

If it’s been a while since you’ve stopped by Analog Dog to check out the FREE ball on the back beach, now is the time to do so, as there are some new FREE hairs in the ball just waiting for you to pick them up. In the picture above, I’m sporting a messy curly do called idyll, to which I added the jana bang set from the ball. The ball included both a hud for the dark blondes set as well as a hud for light reds… however since the hud includes a tinting option, you can get much darker brown and black shades on the hair as well.

In the picture above I am showing you just one of two FREE hats that were also included in the FREE ball. This is the mill hat and is a perfect fit over the top of idyll once I removed the jana bang piece. I love the classy black hat. There was also a modern red print fedora as well!

This classy style above is called samadhi, and is a lovely side-swept mesh style. Like idyll, it comes in dark blonde and light reds.

In the picture below I’m showing you the last addition to the FREE ball — scream cheese. It does just kind of make you want to scream “cheese” and take pictures. It’s one of those fabulous hairs that is casual and fun.

To find the free ball, fly up and back to the beach-y area of the Analog Dog hair sim and look for the semi-transparent bubble. Buy it for 0L and these great styles are yours.

I’m not quite done yet though… I wanted to mention a few other tricks up my sleeve in my style today. Sometimes your skin needs a refresh. Make up is a great way to give a favorite skin a new feel, and testers are a nice way to get a new look without a lot of Lindens. I ran across this FREE tester by alaskametro called Orchid… it’s this pretty lip-stain that freshened up my avatar’s face. You won’t even have to teleport anywhere, just pick it up off the marketplace. It comes in a system applier as well as appliers for TMP, Eve, Lelutka, Loudmouth, NyamNyam, Omega, and Slink Visage.

To polish off my new look I added a ring from the Cart Wash Sale, because jewelry always adds a nice finishing touch. This classy cocktail ring from Luminesse is stylish and only 10L. If you stop by the cart you’ll find several beautiful pieces for men and women both to add to your inventory.

Give Me a Great Set of Heels

Give me a great set of heels and I’ll find the perfect dress to go with it! And I fell in love with this set of strappy stilettos from G&D Italian Style which can be yours totally FREE. You just need a group space, as the group is FREE to join, and once you don the group tag, you can pick up this strappy set of burgundy heels FREE. Once you open your gift, you’ll find a set of heels to fit Slink, Maitreya, and TMP feet!

I’m still finding 10L deals at the Indian Summer Cart Wash that I just can’t resist… and this beautiful dress by Aleutia is no exception. 10L gets you a two pack… same color but two textures. You’ll get the texture shown, plus an additional dress with the all over print pattern in the box as well. You’ll get all the standard mesh sizes, plus a fitmesh size to complete the package. All for just the single 10L price. There are lots of colors on the cart, so stop by even if burgundy isn’t your color… you’re bound to find a color to suit your tastes.

Don’t Bat Your Eyes: 14 Days of Giving at Meva!

Don’t bat your eyes! I have big news! Not only is the Cart Wash Sale going on at the moment… but Meva is celebrating a new location with 14 Days of Giving Gifts!

I stopped by the Cart Wash today and picked up this Tabby Dress from the Little Bat Cart. It comes in all the standard mesh sizes and for just 10 little Linden you get a color change hud with 8 choices… making this like 8 dresses in one for your 10L!

I then made a beeline for Meva where I picked up the very first of 14 gifts to come… my beautiful black bangles🙂 Every day you can pick up a new group gift as part of the giving with your group tag. The group fee is 100L but for 14 gifts the next two weeks, that fee will definitely pay for itself. I’m including the gift calendar picture below to show you what will be available.

Fall for Vintage

The Cart Wash Sale is well under way and I just fell in love with this Vintage set in brown from Orquidea. These are applier pieces that come separately for just 10L each, and also include a system layer for non-mesh avatars as well.

10L will get you the shirt in a system layer and appliers for Maitreya or Belleza. An additional 10L will get you the jeans in the same, with the addition of sculpty cuffs at the ankles for a pretty and realistic look. If you prefer shorts, there are shorts also available. I’m sporting the set in brown, but there was a pretty set available in red as well!

One Fine Day

Have you checked out the Indian Summer Cart Wash Sale yet?! I stopped by this morning and couldn’t help but pick up a couple of beautiful finds for myself.

My first stop was at the Ghee cart, where I picked up my simply beautiful silk Sari dress in Sugar. There are a lot of colors out and at only 10L each, you may just be tempted to pick up each and every color! You’ll get all the standard sizes as well as fitmesh, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. I was in love!

I also stopped by the Roped Passion’s cart, where I picked up my Nani sandals. These beautiful flowered sandals also come in several colors, though I nabbed the pink to match my dress. These too are just 10L each and you’ll get a pair to fit Slink or Maitreya feet in each box. What a deal!

My pretty dress with its lace cut out for the stomach is by EvelineInTheBox and is the current offered group gift by the creator. It is yours FREE when you don your group tag. You’ll get it in all the standard mesh sizes, plus Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fits.

I also picked up this beautiful mesh hair in soft waves called Daisy at Entwined. You’ll get the full fatpack of hair FREE with your group tag (again the join fee is FREE too!) making this a steal for a beautiful hair. Don’t miss out on this pretty style!

Wild Thing!

I’m in love with the newest Sn@tch fishing prize! This one includes system and applier leggings (in three styles) and a full fatpack of different “wild” mesh tops that are super sexy. If you already have a 7 Seas fishing rod (the cost is 100L for the casual fishing rod) you can re-use it to fish for this amazing 22 piece outfit that also includes omega applier lipstick, arm bangles, and mesh gold eyes as well as these killer shoes I’m wearing in the photo above. The heels will fit Slink, Maitreya, or Belleza mid feet for all your mesh feet needs. The mesh tops come in all the standard mesh sizes.

I’m including a copy of the vendor advertisement below to give you a peek at a few of the other halter top options. Aren’t they just wild?!

Apple Picking Time

It’s apple picking time! And I love this windblown looking hairstyle that says “fall” that you can pick up right now at KoKoLoReS FREE for September if you hurry! That’s because right now through September 15th, the join fee is waived. You can join the group for FREE and pick up this beautiful style in a fatpack of colors for this month’s group gift.

For just 1L I also hunted down Moolala’s contribution to the Fall Tears Hunt. It is this pretty outfit called Mercury which includes the shorts and bandana style top. You’ll get all the standard sizes plus fitmesh sizes to fit Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.

Full Circle

I love 25L Tuesdays! Especially when the goodies are versatile like they are today! On a Lark has out a beautiful new dress in lots of colors for only 25L each that comes in all the standard mesh sizes as well as fits for Maitreya, Physique, and Hourglass. This dress is a classic roleplay dress… BUT! It looks awesome as a go to dress for everyday wear as well… which makes it perfect for my inventory. And for the 25L price tag? I bought it in lots of colors!

I also stopped by Luas where my 25L bought me this awesome handbag and back-back set. You get both the handbag shown as well as a backpack (not shown) for your single 25L price. There were 3 other colors/designs, if the one in the picture above doesn’t suit you.

Chop Zuey also has out some beautiful new gifts that I wanted to share with you, and I really fell in love with their Circles Set. You can pick up the Circles Necklace in Gold as a group gift if you are a group member (the group fee is 350 but this gives you access to lots of regular group gifts). The earrings are a courtesy gift and FREE to all under the FabFree board. Just pay 0L and pick up the pretty matching earrings completely FREE🙂

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

In the Mood for Roleplay

It’s Sunday! And as usual, The White Armory has out a beautiful FREE group gift for us to enjoy. Roleplay is a staple in my Second Life to do list, and I was really excited about this Sunday’s FREE gift and wanted to show it to you, with a reminder to head down to The White Armory and pick up this gift before it’s gone. You’ll have until next Sunday, when a new FREE gift will be set out.

This gift includes the dress you see me wearing in the picture above, as well as system leggings and socks, which I opted out of due to my mesh body. I added a few other details, such as daggers and a pair of boots, and the outfit was perfect without adding the leggings. The dress is mesh and comes in all the standard sizes, making it a great addition to your roleplay wardrobe! Head to The White Armory and pick up this great gift!

As for me… I’m off to see what kind of roleplay trouble I can stir up at the sim I call my roleplay home now that I have the perfect outfit!😉
