Beach Day

No matter what… I always seem to end up back at the beach. Maybe it’s not my fault. All our wonderful designer here in Second Life are conspiring to give all these things that just say “BEACH” to me. Yeah… that’s it.

Beach Girl

This is my latest beachy dress, “Adah” from Well Made and it’s the current free Group Gift. I don’t actually know if Adah was intended for beachwear but isn’t it just perfect for it? It would also make for a cute top with jeans or shorts. As a dress… it’s very sassy and rather cheeky, if you know what I mean. 😉  You will get a HUD to pick one of five sweet pastel colors if purple isn’t your thing. The Well Made Group is free to join and there are a ton of past gifts set out for members.

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Fitmesh – S-L
• Maitreya
• SLink- Hourglass, Physique
• Tonic – Curvy, Fine

Posed

My cute simple pose is also free! This is “Yuiki” from M-1 and it’s the free gift at the Pose Fair. Just join the fair’s group, which is free and you can collect the tons of gifts set out at the fair. The Pose Fair runs until May 25st so get over there soon!

I’m an Easter Beach Bunny today since I found this great gacha from Loki Store. I’m not sure when the “Kawaii Summer” Gacha actually came out so this might not be news to you. But it was a sweet new find for me over at the Loki main store.

The Good Ole Summer Time

“Kawaii Summer” is a 50L per play gacha with both the ruffled swim suit and the blow up swim tube with a pose. There are six pastel colors of swim suit and seven different poses with the inner tube including one rare pose. The Tube includes a HUD to change the color to match your suit.

Sizes Included

• Maitreya

Soak up the sun

Hey there Fabulouses! Have you checked out the Bunny Hop Hunt?  There are loads of designers participating with spring and Easter themed hunt prizes (for a small fee) and some of my favourite designers are participating, such as Nerido!!  Aline mentioned this hunt earlier this week in her post [HERE], showing you some different prizes!

What Bunny Hop Finds am I wearing?

I’m wearing Nerido’s Egg #1 which is the Aurica Skirt and matching String Panties in lime and Nerido’s Egg #2 which is the Rosie Top in Mint.  Both of these items are 25L each, and are fitted for Maitreya.

In Aline’s post, she mentioned that at the landing point, you can pick up a notecard with all of the hunt keys of participating stores, however below I have shown you Nerido’s as that’s who I’m showing off on my avatar today.

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!

So Cute it’s Spooky

Pru said it was a tough hunt… she warned me! But did I listen…. nooooo.  Spookzilla nearly ate my brain! I went to bed after hunting for longer than I want to admit and dreamed about sneaky little ghosties!  But, oh my goodness, it was worth it!

Mina is ‘mine-a’

I love this Tank! This is ‘Mina’ from [QE] and it’s hidden in a Spookzilla ghostie for 25L. Ya’ll know how crazy I get about well made items and this is just superb. Tiny details, the fabric texture, the fit… all perfect. Mina comes with a HUD for three Halloweeny colors but I think I’ll be wearing this one year round.

Sizes Included

• Belleza
• Classic Mesh XS _ XL
• Maitreya
• SLink
• TMP
• Tonic

Do these jeans make my butt look big?

After falling in love with the Mina Tank, I knew I needed these matching color blocked jeans. Also for 25L.  I actually LOLed when I saw the name… Bubble Butt Jeans. Bubble Butt comes with a HUD to match the Tank and aren’t they the perfect casual day set?!  Even though they’re called Bubble Butts, I am happy to report my butt looks lovely in them… not overly bubbly at all.

Sizes Included

• Belleza
• Classic Mesh XS _ XL
• Maitreya
• SLink
• TMP
• Tonic

 

Topping it all off…

is my gorgeous new hair style. This is ‘Jillian’ from Astrology. Astrology is offering three hair styles and much like a Gatcha, each ghostie holds one style and one color HUD. The Halloween angle is each style and color HUD also can be found in a blood spattered version. I think I’ll stick with the clean shiny version.

Spookzilla only runs until the 31rst so don’t delay! And don’t say we didn’t warn ya!!

Greetings from Little Havana

Dear Readers,

I hope this missive finds you all well and enjoying the last days of the Summer season. Julianna has informed me that she is once again working for your Blogging team and her emails are fill to the brim with her typical giddiness. I don’t know when I’ll return to work as I am off on a walk about on the Grid. Don’t tell Juli. I found this prim seaside town recently and I’m staying a few days. Maybe do a little surfing. If you like old world, vintage charm I urge you to visit here in Little Havana.

Dress for the Occasion

Even if the occasion is a casual afternoon sight seeing. I found this well worn Tee at one of my favorite stops: Cold Ash.  The Montana Tee … yes, I know it says California on it, but it’s the Montana Tee is the latest Group Gift from Cold Ash and it’s free. Even the Group is free to join.

Sizes Included

• Classic Avi
• Belleza
• Gianni
• SLink
• TMP

Now, I believe I’m going to test out those waves. Maybe see if the girls in the bikinis are playing volley ball yet…

Cheers,

Gabriel St.James
