Silky Dreams

Foulard dress 2_001

I love learning (well anything but math!). While scrounging around in my recent inventory I came across one of the gifts from the Inov Event. It’s name is Foulard. I was thinking a foulard was something like a faux-pas or maybe something a fool might do. Man, I was way off. It turns out that foulard is a lightweight plain-woven or twilled silk usually decorated with a printed pattern. That’s your fashion lesson for today fabbies!

You Would Be a Fool Not to Love It

I would describe Blonde Queen’s free gift at the Inov event as F-I-N-E! It’s a mini dress with such a gorgeous texture that gives it an elegant look. It does look quite silky. I polished off the look with with a free necklace from Evado (that Aline showed you HERE) along with red heels and lipstick. The Foulard dress gift comes in this texture. I mean, why would you want to change it?  Just join the free Inov group, and click on the gift!

Sizes

  • Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus
  • Legacy

Well it’s ttfn folks!

Cherry Blossom Season

25L Tuesday OAL 5_001

If you’re a regular reader of our blog you may remember that I love Asian styled clothing. Especially one that embodies some of the traditional elements of the classic Chinese style. The Cheongsam or Qipao style of female dress includes elements such as the high mandarin collar, high slits on the sides, tight fit and knot buttons. Also the neckline of the dress has a right side closure. Those are the traditional elements that make the dress!

Most Loved Tuesday Sales

I was thrilled when I saw this dress on sale for the $25L Tuesday sale. I love that classic styling and all of the little details. On A Lark has the Akari Kimono dress on sale today. It looks to me that this is a Cheongsam instead of a kimono. But who am I to disagree with the designer. Anyways, each color is priced at $25L so splurge and buy a few!

Sizes

  • Kupra
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Maitreya/Petite
  • Reborn

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Purple Haze

V8 Subscriber gift april or May_002 (1) edit 2

I’m having a magical Sunday. I have no idea why this is happening. Maybe it’s because I have another couple of gifts to show you from the Mean Girls event. There are a number of great gifts to be found at the sales event. You will have to join the free Mean Girls VIP group to get all of the gifts. There are a few you can pick up without the tag.

When I am Older I Shall Wear Purple

Wait! Older? Noooooo! I’ll wear purple now before I get older. Who wants to get old anyway? I’ve had a taste of it and I want to stop now. Anyhoo, purple is a great color so I’ll indulge my whimsy. The free Golda Sheuvelro Outfit that includes the top, belt, skirt & a pair of heels (not shown here) is the current subscriber gift at V8. Just tap the board to subscribe and the gift will be delivered. Your gift comes in this multi-purples patterned texture giving it a fresh and breezy look.

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya

Da Pose

One of the Mean Girls Group Gifts is this very cool pose from Leroux. It’s great for showing off nails or holdables. So get over to Mean Girls and pick up all the goodies you can find there. (Note: A couple of the gifts are not working properly.)

Spring is Busting Out All Over

tASTIC mEAN gIRLS rEDONE_001

What screams spring more than daisies? Nothing! You can find them in many colors in Second Life. Daisies always bring a smile to my face. (Weird, I know!) Mean Girls isn’t mean at all. Not one bit! Bop over to the event, join the free group and look for all of the gifts and great bargains.

One of the gifts you can pick up at the event is this super cute spring dress by Tastic. The Sherie Floral dress is yours for free at Mean Girls. It’s perfect for these warmer sunny days. The texture hud has 12 different flower textures so I guess that technically makes it a fatpack! Sherie is sized for Legacy/Perky, Kupra, Maitreya/Petite, Freya, Isis, & Hourglass. You need this dress for sure.

Happy Friday people!

Glam is the Word

Fameshed Anniversary GG 2023_002

Now and then I feel like dressing up with a formal flair. Today was a given once I unpacked a few gifts from Fameshed and shopped a couple of Hello Tuesday offerings. This came together so easily and I love this look.

A Little Romance

Putting together a stunning and classy look was easy today. My gown comes from Purple Moon and I am so happy to see this Poulet creating clothing again. The Octavia gown is gorgeous with its’ cut outs on the skirt and beguiling corset. For the Hello Tuesday Sale the gown is offered in this pale gold color. It is sized for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya.

Stylish Adornments

Fameshed Anniversary GG 2023_004

Kunglers always has intricately designed jewelry. Their free gift at the Fameshed Anniversary Round is a set of bracelets for each arm. The Wendy set comes with both a white/silver and a pink/gold version. They are delicate looking and can be used for many occasions. You must join the free Fameshed group to get the gift and have your tag active to access the location.

Kunglers is also participating in the Hello Tuesday Sale. The Sibilla Pearl necklace is on sale for $50L per color (there are five different colors to choose from). It’s such a simple but beautiful necklace you can wear with many outfits.

Now go forth and shop!

Cool in Lace

Patty C.K Elisiane 35L Sunday_001

I love the sea and everything about it. Today I am waiting to be picked up by one of the Cousteau family to participate in a research study. I’m not sure what I’ll be studying yet but I may as well look cute while doing it!

A Time-Limited Sale

The 35L Sunday sale lasts until midnight. Some designers leave the sales items out for longer but I wouldn’t wait to shop it. My cute Elisiane shorts & lace top are from Patty C.K. There are quite a few details on the top like the strings/ties and the lace texture is well done. This is a fatpack including a hud with 60 texture change options to change the look on the strings, top, and shorts. The shorts have a frayed look with a lace up tie in the back that also encircles the waist. Centered over the navel is a cross. Pretty cool outfit.

Sizes listed are:

  • Curvy
  • Dragon
  • eBody
  • Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus
  • Maitreya
  • SLink HG & Physique
  • Legacy

Note that the price I paid was $55L instead of $35L. I’m not sure why this happened. It’s still not a bad price.

Hope you weekend has been relaxing and sunny.

ttfn, 

Cre

A Hunting We Will Go

Sat 4-29-2023_001

Ahh, it’s the weekend again. Time to relax and enjoy beautiful spring weather. When I checked the blog this morning I saw Aline’s Fabulous Finds post. I usually find something free or for a low cost. And often I find inspiration for a post. So, hats off to Aline, our fabulous & fearsome leader!

Don’t Fear the Big Freeze

I set out on the Big Freeze Hunt after having SL eggs and spam for breakfast. First of all, this is a family hunt with prizes for dinkies, kids, and adults so it’s pretty easy to find the hunt object, an ice cream cone.

I popped into a new to me store “Let’s Get Weird” and scooped up this really cute top and jacket that features ice cream pops on both. There are gifts for both males and females (each costs just 1L). So, bring a friend or your partner. The female hunt prize comes as one piece; the top and jacket are all-in-one.

Sizes

  • Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus
  • Legacy
  • Perky
  • Maitreya
  • SLink Hourglass & Physique

The Big Freeze hunts runs until May 27th so there is plenty of time to hunt. Have a fun weekend!

Fifty is Nifty

FLF Fake Society Evelyn with Navy & Copper Elodie 2_001

What time is it? It’s Fifty Linden Friday (FLF) time! Weeeee! I love sales and shopping and today I picked up a couple of goodies from the sale.

It’s Not All Red

My dress, Evelyn, is the FLF offering from Fake Society for today. For me it’s a fresh take on similar styled dresses. From the spaghetti straps to the slightly ruched sides it may become one of my favs. And I adore the corset look with the ties. This dress comes as a fatpack with a set of three colors for each mesh body fit.

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya

And Then There Was Hair

Yes, dear readers, I bought another hairstyle today from Navy & Copper. We all need more hair, don’t we? Actually, there are several stores also offering hair as FLF items today.

Her name is Elodie. The attached ribbon gives it a playful look. Of course, I bought the red pack for $50L there are five other packs on sale ranging from blonde to pastels and everything in between. If a new fresh look for spring.

I off to find more great prices. Don’t wait too long as the sales usually come down at midnight SL time.

TTFN,
