Formal & Affordable

Have a formal event to attend?  The items below will help you put something together affordably in a jiffy!

 First, The White Armory has a new group gift out for it’s members.  They usually release new gifts on Sunday and I am always so excited.  I really do appreciate these beautiful and generous gifts they give out to their  members on such a regular basis!  You have to send a notecard as instructed on the sign to join the group, as there are no auto group joiners, but the group is free to join.  Well worth the time it takes to write up the notecard.  This week’s gift is the stunning Witchwood Gown Set below.  

The beautiful updo hair I am wearing (Hello Cedar) with this gown can be found on the beach at Analog Dog for free along with a few other styles which I will share with you below.  Around my neck is a necklace called A Broken Heart Cries Tears of Sodalite, made by Ollie’s Follies and can be found at The Wash Sale for just 10L.  It is a really fetching piece that I am sure I will wear again and again.

Sascha’s Designs is the maker of this next beautiful deep plum gown.  If you can believe it…  it’s a gift!  All you have to do is join their inworld group (fee of 50L) and hit the sign.  New gifts come out monthly and the previous months for years past are still available to pick up as a group member.  You’ll be able to see the amazing detail on this gown in the close up photo.  It’s quite lovely!

The hair I am wearing is another prize from the ball on the Analog Dog beach!  This one is called Baby Cocoa and is so sexy the way it bounces and flows!  My necklace is another 10L find at the Ollie’s Follies Cart at The Wash Sale.  It’s called A Broken Heart Cries of Labradorite.  I am really impressed with both of the necklaces I picked up at the cart sale from Ollies Follies – They are really well made and fit with very little adjusting.

 There were two more hair styles in the beach ball at Analog Dog and they are below.  First Pistachio Eggplant and next to it Lemon Cherry.  I haven’t worn Analog Dog’s hair before and after trying these out in the freebie ball, I can say “I’ll be back!”.  I really like the shiny textures and bouncing curls.  The glamorous skin I have on is Lara Hurley‘s Dessa for the Platinum Hunt (which is over… but shhh…  I still see it at the store in case you missed it!)

Mission: Little White Skirt & More!

I popped into Y&R today on a mission to find a little white skirt and found just what I was looking for… and also – two newer lucky board prizes! The Short Jacket in pink was the first win.   I have layered the jacket over Fri.day’s Basic White Cami Freebie and paired it up with the skirt I was hunting for lol, isn’t it cute? It is called Short Laced Skirt and is just 40L.  While I love hunting for freebies, I also think it’s a good idea to support the shops so they can continue to make us these wonderful creations.   We would be naked without them!  The accessories I have on with the outfit are Caroline’s Bellini White Pearl Necklace  and Bracelet which is a freebie at The FabFree Station, as well as Pepper’s Pieces Ring which is a 5L dollarbie at Pepper.

My second lucky board win at Y&R was the Off-Shoulder Blouse in brown that has the sweetest lace trim across the top.  It also appears to go quite nice with my new white skirt!

The skin I have on today is the Platinum Hunt item from Filthy Skins.  It has a sunkissed look to it and goes fabulous with blonde hair!  The items in The Platinum Hunt are 10L and ends on August 31st.   Speaking of hair… The hair I have on has been previously blogged months ago, but is still available for free.  It’s a group gift from Boon, who has a few group gifts in fatpacks of colours to choose from with no group fee!

*NOTE – You do have to join the group at Y&R to win the lucky board prizes – the group is free.

Neko Love

I’ve got some Neko love going on in the Lost & Found Hunt gift from LoveCats. The Lost & Found Outfit has the Loves Pussy T-Shirt and Jeans. It also includes Neko ears and tail, pawed boots with warmers, a belt, collar, gloves and bracers. The cat, who’s name is Benjamin, isn’t included. But the the Platinum Priceless Collar he is wearing can be found at KittyCatS on the Platinum Hunt for just $10L. It also comes with a bracelet and collar for the owner. I borrowed Benjamin from Renee, who has become one of those cat ladies you see on the television show Animal Hoarders. :)

The Platinum Hunt pt3

Part 3 of the Platinum Hunt.. Jewellery and a few other stores that I missed on the last two reviews because my inventory got jumbled!

The starting point is ISPACHI and you are looking for a black open box with a little pearl inside.. this isnt a freebie hunt. You will have to pay 10L for each prize but dammit is it worth it. Seriously.. I’ve heard people complaining about it not being free but why should it have to be? The quality of work in this hunt is astounding and is exactly what people have been wanting in a hunt for a long long time and with so many stores closing at the moment hunts like these are an excellent opportunity to show the amazing designers all throughout SL that we support them for the fabulous work that they do.

Three cheers to Keira for organising an awesome group of designers and I whole heartedly look forward to any future hunts to come!

Platinum Hunt for Guys

I found a couple of Items for the guys on the Platinum Hunt. Each item cost $10L each, but these gifts are top quality. From Gawk! Clothes is the Gawk or Die Grey Tank. This tank has a skull graphic that lets everyone know, you mean business.

DeeTaleZ is offering a separate male gift as well. The Orange Hawaiian Shirt will be perfect for those warm summer nights at the beach or beach house.

The starting point is at ISPACHI and you are searching for a little black open box with a pearl inside. Each box costs 10L to buy so this isnt a free hunt.
