Holographic Honey

I’ve had conversations with people about the awesomeness that is holographic clothing.  I’ve probably expounded my beliefs several times here on the blog about it all, and I’m sure you’re all sick to death of me singing the praises of anything vaguely reflective and purpleish.  I just get all the vibes of magic, the seaside and the 80’s all wrapped into one awesome little package, and since those are three of my favourite things, I don’t see how it could possibly be a bad thing.

A Little Taste of Magic

Caboodle have just put up a really sweet gift on Marketplace for just 1L.  You get this beautiful holographic dress that slips ever so sultrily off the shoulders.  It also features an A-Line skirt, which you may have guessed I approve of heartily because of the name.  Well, and the shape is pretty awesome too.  To get yours, just head over to Caboodle’s Marketplace store and it will be yours!

One Of Those Days

Well, I’m not usually one for expletives, but it just may have been one of those days.  One of those days where your car won’t start, or you don’t have the right change for coffee at Timmy’s (my Canucks, where you at!?) or you get an eyeful of mascara wand while you’re putting on your makeup.  I dunno, it’s one of THOSE days.  The only thing required right now to make it all better is a free outfit, free shoes, and a heck of a lot of chocolate.

Queen B*

Ah, Queenz – calling them like they see them.  I know I just posted news of some new group gifts there, but guess what, there’s another new one!  It comes in two pieces (the top has three different sayings on it, some a little milder than the one I chose, and the skirt in three different coordinating colours that you can change in the HUD).  It’s fun, sassy, and great for mixing and matching.  One of my fave things!  You can grab yours by joining the Queenz group for free, and clicking on the vendor poster.   There are a whole bunch of other awesome things there too!

Which Way?

There’s a new lucky board over at Mosquito’s Way, and I thought these little boots where kinda made to go with this outfit.  I love the little rhinestone appliqués and of course the fact that they’re purple.  They come sized for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, TMP, and the Classic Avatar (it comes with an Alpha Layer too!)  and all you need to do to get yours is join the Mosquito’s Way group for free and wait til your letter comes up!  There are group gifts and other lucky boards there too to keep you busy!  Nice!

Now, I’m hoping things are going to turn around this evening!  Have a good one!

The Hunt for Morris

Hey Hey Fab Free!  I’m waxing a bit nostalgic today because I did a bit of hunting on the Steam Hunt!  The Steam Hunt is one of the oldest in SL, and it is actually the first hunt I ever did.  My friend Eesoov introduced me to the concept of wandering sims keeping your peepers peeled to find little objects for freebies, and I’ve been hooked ever since.  The Steam Hunt is always filled with fun curios and cute outfits, and this year’s edition is no exception!

Steam Me Up!

One of the stops on the Steam Hunt this year is Sparrow by Design – a super cute art nouveau decorated shop that has all sorts of cute gifties hanging about.  I hunted for the little cog, and inside was this gorgeous Morris & Co. inspired coat dress that I knew I immediately needed to own.  I have a thing for British textiles in general (don’t get me started on Liberty prints), and this is a really beautiful SL version of one of my faves.  The best part is this coat is completely free, all you need to spend is a bit of time searching for it!  The clue is:

Green butterflies are my favourite!

Well-Heeled

There’s a new group gift over at Mosquito’s Way!  They regularly churn out some really amazing gifts (and shoes in general), so this is a group to join and stay in!  Just join their group for FREE and click on the vendor and these sweet little booties are all yours.  I totally love them.   These shoes are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink for all your delicate stomping needs!

Who’s up for some more hunting?

I Came to Slay

Sometimes I keep myself amused by thinking about the etymology of words.  Ugh, I know, I’m a weirdo.  But think about it a sec, nowadays we say “slay” for looking awesome, when in the past we would have been brandishing a sword over the body of a vanquished foe.  I dunno, it amuses me.  I won’t pull out my etymological dictionary, so don’t you worry.  Maybe next time!

Ring Around the Rosary

There’s a new group gift at Rosary!  They always churn out some pretty fly outfits that make me want to dance or strut or both at the same time.  To get your own copy of this hot mini dress (complete with an HUD for a load of colour options), just join the group for 200L and grab it.  The word on the street is that there’s another gift coming out soon to celebrate 1000 group members, as well as all the old group gifts in a massive box if you missed any.  Totally worth the join fee!

I love a good sexy boot.  How awesome are these ones from Mosquito’s Way?  They come in this gorgeous plum colour with fancy lacing detail up the side.  So fab!  I got mine by joining the Mosquito’s Way group for FREE!  I always pinch myself a little when I check the group join price, because these boots are such high quality, I can’t believe they’re free!  WHEEEE!

December in the Big Apple

It’s December, and all I can think about is New York City.  A few years ago, I made my way to the Big Apple and had the most New York day I can possibly imagine.  I saw Tony Bennett getting out of a cab near Central Park, had a bite to eat in the Plaza hotel and even got mauled by well-dressed women in a shoe sale in Bergdorf Goodman.  All the while, I was surrounded by twinkling lights and sparkling snow.  I’m sure this is a glamourized version of what life is really like in NYC, but hey – from the outside looking in, it’s just a gorgeous little snow globe!

Central Park

I’m hanging out in Central Park today, though it’s possibly a bit chilly for my outfit.  Whatever, the excitement of the city is keeping me toasty!  I got my top and skirt over at the LANA mainstore.  Under the tree there, they’re adding a new gift every two days for group members!  If you want to grab some, just join the LANA group for 99 Lindens!  Yay!

Shoe Sale?

Speaking of shoes and such, I got my cute little booties and socks over at Mosquito’s Way!  This month’s group gift is perfect for taking a stroll in Central Park and keeping your tootsies warm.  You can grab your own pair by joining the Mosquito’s Way group for free!  Woohoo!

The Art of Doing Nothing

Much like Juli’s day, my today has been a bit of a lazy one.  I’m lounging around putting off all the little things that no one really likes to do.  I am eschewing the ironing, and the scrubbing and all the other boring little chores that clamour for my attention.  I think sometimes a noble day of rest is an art in of itself!

Resting Up

Time is ticking on this month’s edition of The Avenue.  I mentioned a while back that there were free gifts to be had there, but you’ll have to hurry over and join their group to grab these pretty little things, because they won’t be there for much longer.  Today I’m showing off lingerie by BouBouKi in a lovely pink shade, as well as these gorgeous electric blue heels by Mosquito’s Way that are sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and TMP .  Hop on over to The Avenue to grab these free gifts and a bunch more before they disappear on November 20th!

Orange You Glad

Fall is the season of the slouchy sweatshirt, I think.  You really can’t beat it.  When it’s chilly, and perhaps a little drizzly out, you need to keep cozy and curl up on the couch.  Or perhaps you’re heading off into the countryside for a hayride, or even just to haunt the woods (because, who doesn’t do that?) your trusty oversized sweatshirt will get you through.  I’m off to haunt the woods, of course – and I’ve got the perfect outfit for it!

Quiet Riot

My awesome sweatshirt is the most recent group gift from Riot.  I joined their group for 25 Lindens and am super happy with it!  I personally cannot get enough of the long slouchy arms.  So fun!  The sweater comes with three different pumpkin faces to choose from.  And for the guys out there – there’s a version for you as well!  Yay!

Booted Up

Mosquito’s Way has their group gift out for the month of October, and it’s these extremely adorable booties.  I love the flower detailing.  I may have found something more practical for haunting woods, but come on – looks come first!  The Carol boots come sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and TMP.  The Mosquito’s Way group is FREE to join, making these lovely little boots completely free!

Now, my pretties…I’m off to cackle gleefully!

Musing Again

Sometimes when I’m thinking about what to write on my posts, inspiration comes from super weird places.  I was looking at the pic I took for this post, and the pattern on the dress made me think of a pencil case I used to have back in my elementary school days.  Back then it was all about the swirling colours, the intense and vibrant shapes and being as loud as you possibly could.  Well, at least in your colour choices…Not sure the teacher would have approved of vocal loudness!  Anyway, let’s get down to business!

Defiance

There have been some really lovely Fab Free Group Gifts out recently!  The most recent one from De’Fient Unicorn is no exception!  As I mentioned, the pattern just makes me happy, and the cut of the dress really is sexy.  As always, the Fab Free group is FREE to join, so if you haven’t yet, join up then flit over to De’Fient Unicorn, pay the vendor 1L and it will be returned to you.  Yay!

• Belleza

Heels on Wheels

I am loving all these amazing monthly shoe gifts from Mosquito’s Way.  This month’s offering are these stunning platform heels!  Don’t you love the lacing details in the front?  I still can’t believe that this group is completely free to join, since the monthly gifts are super high quality.  The Maxine heels are sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and TMP, so go pick yours up today!

I Love It

The Love store has been churning out gifts like mad in the past few weeks, and yet another one appeared in group notices just recently.  There are a few things in the box, one of them being this high ponytail hair that I will deffo be getting a lot of use out of.  The Love group is currently 400L to join, but there are a bunch of gifts in store, and you’ll find this hair (which comes in a full fatpack of colours) plus another surprise gift in group notices!  Nice!

I am sending you all the swirling, vibrant and awesome vibes.

Fantasy Getaway

Well hey there Fab Free!  After a long toil on a very delayed plane, I’m back to reality!  It seems I can only take reality in small doses though, so I jumped on to SL to forget about the rain falling outside by finding my way to a sunny beach!

Shine On

The perfect dress for my fantasy tropical getaway was the July Group Gift over at Sass!  It’s a fun little strapless baby doll dress in a punchy hue to banish all thoughts of clouds and realities of any kind!  I grabbed it by joining the group for 50 Lindens (totally worth it as there are loads of other gifts to grab there too).  Pay the vendor 1L, and it will be returned to you.  Yay for happy dresses!

My super cute summery heels are this month’s group gift at Mosquito’s Way.  The group is free to join – and the shoes are super high quality so it’s quite the treat!  Aren’t the little starfish beads cute?  I wish I had these shoes in RL!  The Anya heels are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink.  Go grab ’em!

I’ll just sit here for a while and soak it all in… you go do your thing!

Ready, Steady, Go!

I literally have no idea why, but this outfit made my think of the song “Ready Steady Go” by The Meices.  It was on the soundtrack for one of my all-time fave movies:  Empire Records.  I could go on for ages about the movie, and quote things like “Well Sinead O’Rebellion” and “Happy Rex Manning day!”.   But I’ll spare you all the gory details.  Seriously, if you haven’t watched it and you are in desperate need of some grunge escapism, I cannot recommend it highly enough.  AAaaaaanyway, on to the outfit.

All The Things She Said

So maybe it’s the checkered flag thing going on that made me think of “ready steady…”, who knows… All’s I know is that this outfit is pretty awesome.  And yup, it’s FREE!  I picked it up over at Seul as this month’s group gift.  Join the group for free, and get your mitts on this two piece fab look.   If it’s too much for you as one single outfit you could totally wear it with a black top, or with jeans.  Cool, right?

Shock Me, Shock Me, Shock Me!

What’s actually shocking about these amazing platforms by Mosquito’s Way is the fact that they as well are entirely free.  I joined their group for free last month, and didn’t leave because their shoes are really fab!  This month’s group gift comes in super summery colours of turquoise and tangerine, and has some fantastic lacing with beads that just makes me happy.  Go grab your own pair!  They are sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and TMP.

Damn the man! Save the Empire!
