A Touch of Crystal Magic

It’s that time of the year for one of my favourite events!  The Crystal Heart Festival is here – complete with magic, sparkles, and about 40 million Sailor Moon references.  It’s always an exciting event to wander around, because there are loads of pretty creations to drool over.  If you’re not in the mood to spend any Lindens though, I’ve got some great news – plenty of freebies to be had!

Space Girl

Everything kawaii, sweet and sparkly is what really attracts me to The Crystal Heart Festival year after year, but I also do have a special place in my heart for Sailor Moon since it was such a big thing when I was in High School.  You’d often find me singing “Fighting Evil by Moonlight…” while wondering exactly why the girls were always dressed as sailors.  Anyway, you don’t need to join a group to pick up the lovely free gifts at The Crystal Heart Festival, just click on the little pink heart-shaped boxes at the stalls (most will have one, but not all) and then revel in the cuteness within.  Here’s what I’ve got on!

• FREE Hair by Love in 12 fantasy colours and an RGB input HUD
• FREE Skirt by Loki sized for Maitreya bodies
• FREE floating animated orb by Petrichor (it’s soooo mesmerizing)
• FREE shoes by Exia sized for Maitreya and Legacy

The Crystal Heart Festival just opened, so it’s quite busy at the moment.  If you can’t get in right away, don’t despair – it’s running until August 27th

Have fun!

Dreamer

I’m getting out of bed suuuuuper late today.  The spirit wasn’t moving me to go and…do *things*.  So, I hid under the blankets until the things went away…or I forgot what the things were in the first place.  Either way, problem (sorta) solved!

Open Up

The Veles sim has just opened up to shoppers, with several of my favourite stores (and some new to me ones as well).  The exciting thing is that they’ve got free gifts out for everyone who stops by for a visit.  You’ll have to hurry though, these items are slated to be taken away tomorrow – July 3rd.  No group join required, just click on the boxes.  Here’s what I’ve got on:

• FREE pyjama pants by Loki sized for Maitreya
• FREE pose by Mirinae with 3 poses and their mirrors in the box

There are a few other goodies too, which you can see in the vendor photo below.

Right, off you go – go get the goodies!

La Route du Soleil

I’m having visions of the South of France again.  Days spent driving down the N7 highway, listening to French pop music, the wind in your hair and the promise of a good meal when you reach your destination. I spent a large chunk of my early years sitting in the back of a Renault Clio staring out the windows at the giant sunflower fields basking in the sun, wishing I could be running through the rows instead of just looking at them on the way to a castle.  To be fair, the castle was always great too, but running through a field of sunflowers can never go wrong.

Cosmo Finds

I mentioned the other day that Cosmopolitan had a second round of anniversary celebrations, and this round had so many nice gifts that I really wanted to show you a few more of my faves.  The Cosmopolitan group is free to join!  Here’s what I’ve got on:

• FREE shirt by Loki sized for Maitreya
• FREE shoes by Seniha sized for Belleza, Hourglass, Legacy & Maitreya
• FREE pose by Le Poppycock

Don’t forget, this round of Cosmopolitan runs until May 29th!

I think this calls for a picnic in the champ de tournesols!

The Panettone Distraction

I am the perennial list writer.  I have lists of to dos, lists of completed items, lists of lists… It’s just a thing I do.  It makes me feel more in control of everything I’m supposed to be accomplishing.  I think I need to start my list of Christmas to-dos ASAP, as I’m falling a bit behind.  The problem is, I’m more in the mood for some treats – a slice of panettone and a cup of hot chocolate would go down right before I get down to business.

Seeing Stars

When I saw this dress from Loki, I knew I had to have it.  I like anything with stars on it!  It’s their latest group gift, and it’s oh so pretty.  You can get your very own deep blue and star peppered dress by joining the Loki group for 99L and clicking on the vendor.  You’ll find plenty of other gifts there too, so totally worth the join fee.

Clear a Space

Apple Fall sure are churning out the awesomeness these days, and I was so excited to hear that they have yet another free group gift out for their group members!  The Ariana bureau (the pretty desk behind me, with most of the clutter on the shelves) is yours for the very affordable price of 0L.  Just join their group for free, and ta-da!  Can’t say no to that!

Ok, after this little sip, time to write that list!

Not Quite Yet

It’s still the thick of Summer in my part of the world, but in the early mornings you can hear the Blue Jays calling out.  In my experience, that means that September, Autumn and crisper evenings are not really that far off.  I’m not really ready for the end of Summer, but I could do with a bit of injection of moody and dark.  Sometimes the hypercolour of summertime tires me, so I am gently creeping towards Fall with a bit of sultry eye makeup!

Let’s Go Loki

Loki is back!  Not the lovable and misunderstood villain from Asgard (don’t get me started on his baby blues… y’all know I will!), but the designer!  To celebrate their return to designing inworld, they have an awesome new group gift for members.  This tank top will have me putting all sorts of cool outfits together.  I couldn’t resist the angel texture, it’s so cute.  There are 10 different options in the HUD, all as cute as the last (hearts! daisies! eee!).  To grab it, and all the other group gifts, just join the Loki group for 50L.  There are also some freebies there that don’t require a group join!

Dark and Moody

My smudgy eyeshadow is courtesy of Zibska.  They put out a free gift at their landing point for a very limited time.  It’s got so many colours to choose from that you’ll be playing around in the paint for ages.  No group join required, just click on the vendor!  It comes with an Omega applier as well as BOM layers and Universal BOM layers!

Maybe if I tell the Blue Jays to go away, they will?

Take a Moment

There are days… sometimes several days when life seems to conspire to run you over. I think my weekend was one of those times. So I am just hiding out with a cup of good coffee and a cozy fire in the fireplace. The best thing about my weekend? I found a sweet new free gift from Loki. And it’s free for everyone!

More Pink

This is the simply named ‘Pink Flowers Sweater” from Loki and you can pick it up for free even if you aren’t a group member. I love the rumpled sleeves and the off the shoulder look. It’s really beautifully made all over. Sometime life calls for simple yet beautiful things, doesn’t it. Loki has you covered with this comfy sweater. While you don’t need to be a group member to pick up the sweater, I encourage you to join the group for loads of great gifts.

Creepy is a State of Mind

I know that Halloween has come and gone, but I am not one of those people who throws the creepiness aside once October is done.  I am an equal opportunities creeper.  Wait, did that come out right?  ANYWAY, to the gifts!

Spooky!

My super cute knotted tee is the latest group gift from Loki.  It was put out just in time for Halloween, but since I’m only getting around to it now, I’m happy to report that it works for all seasons.  I would totally wear a bat that says creepy 24/7.  It comes with a whole bunch of different patches, and also a few blood spatter options if you’re feeling particularly stabby today.  To get yours, join the Loki group for 50L and click on the vendor!

What a Sweet Thing

Hocus Pocus is also still going on (until November 9th) so if your magic hasn’t proven strong enough yet, you still have a few days to let your powers wax.  I went over to Sweet Thing and said “Hocus Pocus” in local chat, and luckily the force was strong with me (cough) and I got this awesome plastic miniskirt for free!  I love the little ouija pattern on it!  If you’re still not potent enough in the magic department, you can always buy this cute skirt for 50L.  Good Luck!

• Freya
• Hourglass

I raise my glass to you, creepy readers!

Out of This World

On the days where you feel a bit all over the place, it’s always good to express yourself through your clothing.  Today is one of those days where things feel a bit wonky, so it calls for crazy hair and a great t-shirt.

Outer Space

I love when stores band together and move then celebrate by having a bunch of gifts!  That’s what’s going on over at the Gauguin sim where Psycho Byts, Dazed, Fashiowl (and others too!) have moved in together.  They’re all offering free gifts (no group join required) to celebrate moving in together, all with a outer space theme.  Here’s what I’ve got on:

• FREE top by Psycho Byts sized for Maitreya
• FREE glasses by Dazed
• FREE pose by Fashiowl (comes in a fatpack of 7 different poses)

Head over to the sim and check out all the shops to pick up your free gifts!  I’ve included the ad below to give you an idea of what else you can grab!

 

See you on Mars!
