Good morning Fabulouses! BlackRose Fashion, usually puts out one group gift per month, but this month there are two of them! I haven’t even had a chance to try on the first one yet which is a floral printed dress, but when this sweet 2pc set came up as a second group gift, I jumped right in it. The bright primary colours just screamed at me to wear them… and so I did.
The BlackRose inworld group is free to join, so you have nothing to lose and plenty to gain! The Pencil Skirt and Top Set include both the mesh pencil skirt and laced top with off-the-shoulder sleeves in a variety of mesh and mesh body specific sizes. As these come in two pieces, you can even choose to wear them separate if you like.
Sizes Included:
XS – XL Mesh + Alpha Layer
Maitreya
Slink
Belleza
Ebody
Tonic
TMP
What’s The Point?
With the primary colours and straight lines this outfit features, I went with a simple gold triangle point necklace that I picked up at FaMESHed as a free Anniversary Gift. The FaMESHed group is free to join and you can find this gift at the RealEvil Industries display.

Happy New Year! Okay… so I’m running a little late in my New Year wishes to all of you Fabulous Readers, but the good news is, I have treats for you! Woooo!
The Cart Sale is going strong, and you still have some time to pick up those deals! I stopped by today and found two carts that I just had to share! Daisy’s Closet was a total win for me, as I picked up this Sinful Outfit in green for only 10L. Your little tiny sum of 10L gets you the tank top, skirt, and the shoes in one package and comes in mesh in all the standards sizes as well as Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya fits, and the shoes fit Slink feet! That’s a lot of outfit for your money!
To me, the outfit has a bit of a retro feel to it, and when I saw the retro art deco framed set called Sweet Dreams on the Wise Walls Cart right next to it, I knew I had to have it! Like my outfit, the decor was a mere 10L, and it is also a mere 2 prim as well! The art is not copy, but for 10L, if you want extra copies, it’s easy on the wallet.
I wanted to make sure you had some close ups of my goodies! If you haven’t stopped by Jian and hit their subscribo lately, be sure to jump over there and give it a slap. They recently sent out this lovely wine set (only 1 prim!) FREEto group members as a New Year’s gift. You can still pick it up from the history, and it includes the 1 prim setting which you rezz out and it also gives you glasses to hold with a great drinking animation — and that’s something to celebrate!
I also found this gorgeous necklace and bracelet set on the marketplace called Orbit Set by RealEvil Industries. It is texture change with three choices for the metals and three choices for the pearls and is a completely FREEgift item!
Wall Art – Wise Walls – Sweet Dreams (10L at the Cart Wash Sale)
Wine Bottle and Glasses – Jian– 1015 New Years Champagne (0LFREE/Subscribo Gift)
Trunk – .aisling. Trunks – Not so old wood thing (0L/FREE/Group Gift/FREE to Join/Shown first by Pru HERE)
Chair – The Loft – Lucero Chair – Green
Plant – Artisan Fantasy – Houseplant Spathiphyllum
So, I was barely finished my first blog post when Love IM’s me to tell me about the new Trompe Loeil Facebook like gift. I love this idea of stores giving out gifts just for liking their Facebook page because it is just so easy to do! All you need to do is head to their Facebook page [HERE], like their page (if you haven’t already) and just under their cover photo is a link titled ‘Only For Likers’. Click on that, and it will take you to a page that gives you a code. Then, in world, TP to Trompe Loeil, and just inside the entrance is a board which you click on and then enter the code you were given. Et voila! You have not one, but TWO beautiful skyboxes, just for liking their Facebook page! The Chatham Loft Skyboxes come in a light version, and a dark version, and my photos do not do them justice, you must go see them in person. However, you better hurry, this is a time sensitive offer, only available until May 18.
Now, while the skyboxes easily speak for themselves, I couldn’t resist showing off the new [Gos] group gift. These bright orange shoes are called the Charlotte Mary Jane Pumps in Tangerine. I don’t know about you, but bright colours always make me happy, and these shoes just make me grin from ear to ear! The shoes are free, but the [Gos] group is L$500 to join, but as you get a pair of shoes out of it immediately, that is a heck of a deal, and so far this year there have been a few gifts that have more than made up for the join fee.
Not wanting to be overwhelmed by orange, I went searching on the Marketplace for jewelery that would contrast, and it was my lucky day, because I found the beautiful **RE** LUX Celeste – Set was still on the Marketplace. This is such a gorgeous set that it has already been featured on FabFree by several blogger’s over the past year, so, in case you missed it from previous mentions, it’s still free! Hard to beat that. The metal is texture changeable on 2 layers so you can mix and match the metals to your heart’s content.
Finally, not to be overshadowed by everything else…is my eyeshadow (see what I did there :P) and lipstick makeup layer from [mock]Cosmetics. It is called Bella Burnt Toast, and it is one of four free gifts currently in their group notice’s. The group is L$250 to join, but Mockie is very generous and is always sending out gifts to the group, sometimes several at a time! They were put in there on the 8th, so you still have just over a week to claim them.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my burst of orange and turquoise in the sky….Hmmmmm, I wonder what other great colour combo’s can I go put together….

Pale male skins can sometimes be hard to come by in SL. I know not all guys are into the pale look, but if you ARE looking for something different then try Fruk. They also do darker and tanned skins too but I love their pale tones! The skin I am wearing here is one of the discounted skins, which is an added bonus!
PLEASE NOTE.. the Skin comes WITHOUT a beard, I am wearing a beard layer in these pictures.
