Lazy Dog Dayz

Hello Fabulouses!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Real life decided to rear its ugly head and dragged me away from SL for awhile, but I sure am glad to be back!  Ripley and I have two sweet hunt gifts to share with you this evening.  I hope you like them as much as I do.  The only caveat is that the hunt ends tomorrow, August 5th, so you will have to head on over to the sim as quickly as possible to scoop them up before they are all gone.

Oh, Those Dog Days of Summer

Paper.Sparrow is hosting an event in their store with 14 prizes up for grabs ranging from bathing suits, to sexy heels to summer shorts and tops, as well as a belted strapless dress.  All of them cost 25 Linden dollars, and as I said earlier, the hunt ends tomorrow.  For today’s post, I’m wearing two of these pieces of summery goodness.  I just love the soft bluish teal color scheme of the separates.  The cropped halter style shirt features lush tropical leaves in a pale hue accented with pink flowers.  Slender shoulder straps ensure that the Floral Blue Amber Top stays securely in place as you travel across the grid.  My Zarah Skirt coordinates perfectly with the top and has the cutest ruffled trim on the waist and hemlines.  Two dangling garter straps add intrigue.  The texture is really well done with realistic folds in the fabric and a subtle shimmer.  I really like the asymmetrical hemline.  To add both of these items to your wardrobe, head on over to the shop and look for teal colored palm trees scattered around.  They are not that difficult to find, and I was able to discover all 14 of them in one short visit.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Ebody Curvy
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique

Until my next post, happy hunting!

Sparrows and Roses

It’s always exciting when our Fabulous Designers show off their latest gifts for both our FabFree Group and for their own group members. I am always impressed by their skills and creativity. And by their generosity! Paper Sparrow is one upping the whole generous thing with their July group gift…. 150L store credit to use any way we desire!!  It costs 100L to join the group but the store credit covers that and some extra. Now that’s a Fabulous deal!

I stalked the lucky boards for a bit then I went shopping. When I saw this sweet little lounge set, I was sold. I added the gift card and it immediately added 150 lindens to my store credit and I grabbed up my cool new jammies. You can find the “Blue Floral Set” in the main store priced at 150L.

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Maitreya
• SLink – Hourglass, Physique
• Tonic – Curvy, Fine

Now, my ‘J’ hasn’t come up yet on the tank top I want on those Lucky Boards… So I’ll see y’all there! 😉

So Pugly

Hey Fab Free, seems like the week is just chugging along, did we even have a weekend? lol One great thing about Tuesdays in Second Life is 25 Linden Tuesday. The too-cute top I’m wearing is the 25 Linden Tuesday item at Paper.Sparrow. I also happened across the most recent group gift at Pink Hustler. I hope you love both of these fabulous finds.

The Paper.Sparrow Top –

This version of the 25L Tuesday tee at Paper.Sparrow reads “You’re so Pugly” across the bottom. There are several of the “Francis” tees in this style, each with a different graphic priced at 25 linden each for today only. Also, the shirts have a very cute shredded back which is perfect for summer. To get yours, just head over to Paper.Sparrow before the end of the day (I’m not sure if the promotional price will be available longer) and follow the 25LT signs to the vendor. No group is required.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Voluptuous, Ocacin, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Belleza (Freya, Venus), Standard Mesh (S,M,L)

The Pink Hustler Hair –

Pink Hustler has this cute shoulder length hairstyle available as a free group gift for all Pink Hustler group members. The style comes with 3 color huds, each with several choices, and the ability to change the color of the bow. This summery style also has resize scripts for easy fitting. The Pink Hustler group has a one time join fee of 500 linden. Along with this gift, there are quite a few previous group gifts still available.

Fab Free Designer of the Week – Paper.Sparrow

Hello Fab Free! Thanks for being here. I’m excited to have a new “Designer of the Week” post happening. I know it’s been too long. That said, this post is all about a shop called Paper.Sparrow. The Paper.Sparrow shop is a women’s clothing boutique with what I would call a grown-up-cute style to the clothing. Most of the clothing is feminine casual daywear in pretty colors or patterns. There are some shoes and dresses as well, all with a touch of sweetness and sass.

Right now there are 3 lucky letter boards at Paper.Sparrow, and 6 Paper.Sparrow group gifts. The Paper.Sparrow group has a one time join fee of 100 linden. The July group gift is a 150 linden gift card to Paper.Sparrow however, which more than makes up for the join fee. You’ll find the generous July gift waiting on the desk just inside the front entrance. With your group membership you’ll not only have access to the lucky boards, and the group gifts, you’ll get 10% store credit when you shop at Paper.Sparrow while wearing your Paper.Sparrow group tag.

In addition to the store lucky boards, and group gifts, there are 2 more group gifts for other store associated groups. One gift is for the Fashionable group, which has a 5 linden join fee. The other gift is exclusively for Fabulously Free in SL group members. The cute heart flats are free when you wear your Fab Free group tag and click the gift vendor. If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, the group is free to join. All the gifts, and the lucky boards are right inside the entrance to Paper.Sparrow. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

My Motto

My motto in life (well one of them, I have a lot of mottoes) is “You can never have too many cat ear headbands”.  This piece of important advice that I will pass on to future generations extends from both SL to RL and back again.  I’m sure one day someone will look back at photos of little old me and wonder if I may have been a little touched in the head, but to that I will utter yet another of my most important mottoes which is obviously paraphrasing Lewis Carroll, “All the best people are entirely bonkers”!

A Birthday Hunt

Paper Sparrow are celebrating their birthday!  To celebrate, they’ve got a little hunt going on.  Not gonna lie, it’s a little bit challenging.  There are some little cakes (they’re kind of like little stickers on the walls and furniture), hidden around the store.  Just buy them for 10 Lindens and they’re yours!  I got this cute corset-like top, as well as the leather skirt there!  I’m not complaining!  This hunt is slated to run until April 27th!

Sizes

• Freya

Meow Now

And the cat ears make an appearance on the days where I’m feeling a bit playful – these new materials-enabled ones from Pr!tty are kind of awesome.  They sparkle and shine as you walk about and that makes me inordinately happy.  To get yours, just join the Pr!tty group for 200L and take a peek in group notices.  There you shall find them!

See you pretty kitties later!
