Just might feel like singing Autumn song

I was pretty excited for SL Black Friday this year.  I made a list of all my favorite stores and waited for the sales to start.  I also watched notices of all the secondlife groups I am in for notifications on new stores to check out.  There were so many great deals!  During my bargain hunting spree, I stumbled on Beauty of Darkness.  The Almost There Top and Mistery Pants were both free group gifts.  (The group is also Free to join.)  The top and pants are both BOM layers.

It’s getting chilly out, so I needed a jacket.  I dug through my inventory and found the Laila Jacket by WellMade, which I picked up a while ago for free at the The Free Dove. It’s nice to find little gems tucked away in your inventory, isn’t it?  I don’t remember when I got the jacket, but it is very cute.  To get it, just join their free group and click on the box.

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

I decided to take a break getting ready for a very small Thanksgiving tomorrow to take a mini-vacation on Second Life.  I found a cute little sim called Butter (you can see their blog here) and spend some time relaxing before I start my bread and pumpkin pie baking.  Of course, I needed some new clothes for my trip.  I found this cute Abella dress at the Y&M Store as a free group gift and the group is also free to join.

I am always trying out new makeup looks, so when I found this eyeshadow set from Odd Polly for free on the marketplace, I could not resist.  It comes in several different color combinations, all BOM.

The Purrr-fect Fit

Even though I have two cats at home, I never pass up the opportunity to visit with other kitties.  One of the great things about Second Life is that many shop owners and sim developers have pets on their sims as well.  I stumbled on this adorable cat cafe sim the other day and I thought it was the perfect place to show off my latest cat-themed finds.  This great cat print dress by Moonstar was free at the Bundles by Dove event.  It comes with a cute cat ear headband as well.

Remember the cats, Luna and Artemis, from the anime, Sailor Moon?  I do.  And these fun tights from Shinagami bring back fond cartoon memories of my childhood.  The best part is the tights only cost 1L on the marketplace.  One pair is Artemis and the other is Luna and the tights are BOM.

The darkness of the music of the night

I’m sure you’ve all figured out from my posts by now that I love hunts.  I like to visit new sims, find out about new stores and of course, search for fabulous gifts.  I stumbled on The Phantom of the Opera Hunt a few days ago and had to give it a try.  The best part– all the gifts are free.  The hunt took me to Jinx, where I got this Phantom of the Opera pose hud.  (The pose I am doing is called “iaaaa” on the HUD.)  Then later, Fugue, where after some hunting, I found this cute Operetta Dress.

No outfit is complete without some cute lipstick.  Nevrose has a six lipstick set for it’s free group gift. (the group is also free to join.)  It come in 6 colors with Catwa and Leluka appliers.

Down at the Rock and Roll club

A few days ago someone posted in the Luas Store Group the lucky letters on the boards at Luas, and one was mine.  I love Luas, so I was excited at the chance to win something off their prize board.  I rushed to the store right away, hoping I did not miss it.  I got there right in time I nabbed this cute punk dress for free. The Valeria dress came in two styles, solid black and black plaid.  It also included these cute leg garter accesories as well.  You can wear the garters with the dress, but also mix and match with your other outfits.

A punk dress needs some bold lipstick and tattoos, right?  I’ve talked about about Free Bees before, but I can’t say enough about their nice makeup, which the store offers for free on the marketplace. The lip gloss I am wearing is from Free Bees Mermaid Makeup set.  Like all their makeup, this lipgloss is BOM.  As I mentioned in my last post, I am on a real tattoo kick.  I love that I can change body art like makeup and wear it to compliment an outfit.  I found this nice little set of face tattoos by La Baguette for free on the marketplace.

Don’t stop the disco!

Dancing days are here again– at least on Secondlife.  When I found this keyhole clubbing dress by Art & Fashion for free at the at the Shopping Market; I thought the abstract pattern looked like it could fit in to any time from the ’70s-’90s.  There is both a mini skirt and long skirt version.  Don’t stop looking at the Art & Fashion booth, there are plenty of other free gifts from other designers there.  Although there is no closing date for the event, don’t waste time because we don’t know how long it will last.

I’ve been on a bit of a body art kick lately, experimenting with new tattoos.  I was thrilled to find the Reverie Tattoo, a free marketplace gift from Boss Gloss.  Although you can just see the sleeves in this picture, the tattoo also has a back piece and some hip tattoos.  It comes in both BOM and omega appliers.

This is Wired Life

As it slowly slips into the cold season, I am trying to enjoy the last bit of T-shirt weather before the snow starts to fall.  Luckily, in Secondlife I do not have to wait until warmer weather to wear this cute crop top I found for free at the Infinity Event by Waifu Supreme.  The Infinity Event is running until November 15th, so you will have to hurry to pick up this top as well plenty of other free gifts offered by many of the other designers there.

What better to go with a crop top than a tiny skirt?  I picked up this great mini skirt from Line Essay for free on the marketplace.  It has a punk theme with the words “hate” on it that creates an interesting geometric pattern.  To finish up the outfit, I found the Kore makeup set of freckles and a lip tint for 1L at Viena from their gift wall.

I’m not synthetica

Only in Second Life can you get a whole mech armor suit for free.  yes, I said, “free.”  The M7 Bento Mech from Vaak is one of the great gifts at Necrotize this month.  And what goes better with a post-apocalyptic mech suit than a metal cyborg bikini?  Velour has the Misanthropocene outfit as their group gift this month.  (the group is also free to join.) The Syth-O-Ear Tap from Reliquary in my right ear and the circuit makeup under my left eye by Rekt Royality are a few other free gifts at Necrotize.  To grab the gifts at this event, just join the free Second Life Syndicate group!   The last piece I found to complete the outfit was this dollarbie Techno Circuits tattoo by Pickle Ink on the marketplace for 1L.  It comes in both BOM and Maitreya applier.

“Gacha” more Free Gifts

As soon as I get the notification that the Gacha Garden has opened for another monthly round I get excited for what surprises will be in store.  I already know there will be tons cool gachas to play and plenty of free gifts.  This round did not disappoint.  All the gifts are free for members of the Bellatech Updates Group.  (NOTE: a few gifts are for members of the Gimme Gacha Group, but you won’t know until you click the present box.  If you are wearing the BellaTech Updates group tag and it doesn’t work for a gift, switch to the Gimme Gacha group and you should be able to receive the gift.  Both groups are free to join.)

My first Gacha Garden find was this dress by Romanzin, which comes in a pretty shade of teal.  I had the perfect eye shadow to match tucked away in my inventory, the “Stay at Home Club Set” from Booty’s Beauty (which is still available for free. and comes in BOM and Omega Appliers.)  My next find at the Gacha Garden were these  boots by Art&KO simply called “black shoes.”  Close by I found this cute ice cream cone by Yokai that made a cute prop for the photo.

Still celebrating a day later

Halloween may be over, but I just had to show of one more great Halloween find.  I found these cute tights for free by Fu, who runs the shop Funny Honey. The tights come in six different colors with both BOM and Maitreya appliers.  You can find them at Cafe Nekodamari. (there are also matching mani-pedi set with Maitreya applier for free at her Funny Honey main store.)  These Tara Heels by Dore Papillon Boutique complimented the tights perfectly and were another free gift from the Halloween Sales event running until November 4th.

If you haven’t had your fill of the spooky, Necrotize, by the Second Life Syndicate is open until November 20th.  The theme is Cyber Horror and the free gifts are all in creepy alien eggs in front of the vendor’s booths.  The crop top I am wearing is a gift from Ramen from the event.  Second Life Syndicate is also hosting their own hunt called Halloween at the Headquarters, and all the prizes are 0-10L. The Crucible tattoo from Cubic Cherry (as seen first in this Fab Finds post by Ailne) was free.
