The Sea is Calling Me

Hi There Fab Free’rs! To those who celebrate it, I hope you had a fun July 4th. Mine was almost unbearably humid but still a lot of fun. With all the humidity down here in the south, I have been craving beach a beach day, heck I’d settle for a pool day! Soon, very soon I’ll find my way to the water. Until then I’ll day dream here in Second Life, and do my best to look good the part! haha

Snorkel

I love this goggle/snorkel set from Rir Life. It’s a current group gift and I think it’s such a fun accessory. The gift comes with 2 versions, one to wear pushed up off your face (shown) and one to wear over your eyes. Also, how cute are the flamingos? Super cute! The details in this FREE group gift at Rir Life are great. The Rir Life group has a little join fee of 10 lindens. Once you’re wearing your group tag, just click the little gift back under the ad and you’ll get your copy. Also, the set can be easily sized via touch menu.

Trikini

My new snorkel set of course needed a new swimsuit to go with it. This cute trikini is even cuter on. I really should have taken a photo of the back, so you can see how it all comes together in a cool way. This swimsuit is a current FREE group gift at LANA. The best part is it comes with a color change hud. There are a few colorful patterned options, and several sold color options. The LANA group has a one time join fee of 50 linden. Wear your LANA group tag and click the gift ad to get your copy of this gorgeous swimsuit.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Slink Hourglass, and one called “Original” which could be Slink Physique or a Standard Mesh. I’m not certain.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

This Way to the Beach Life

Hello Fabulous Readers!  Soon……oh so soon….Ripley and I will be on break for the summer.  In my new free Spring Romper from RIR Life, I am sure to enjoy our days of freedom in style.  Featuring a delicate floral pattern and white ruffled trim, this playful sleeveless outfit is perfect for a casual day of fun.  The top and bottom can be paired together as I have done here, or worn separately to mix and match with other pieces of clothing.   I really like the style of the waistline and the combination of  print and solid textures in the top.  The RIR Life group has a 10L join fee, but this May gift is well worth the investment.

Say, “Cheese!

After a week of having no cell phone, I was so excited to get my replacement phone in the mail today! In fact, I’ve been running around taking pictures with it all day… and making a bit of a nuisance of myself, I think. I’m still sad that I lost a bunch of photos that I neglected to back up, but I guess some lessons just have to be learned the hard way. Hopefully, the 99 cents a month that I’ve decided to fork over to upgrade my iCloud account will keep this from happening in the future. 😛

Ok, enough babbling about my sad phone story.

Sweater Weather

This cute skirt and sweater combo is the March group gift from RiR Life. I love the detailed texture of the sweater; it’s romantic and sporty and perfect for those late winter/early spring days when you still need a little warmth. The outfit comes as one piece and is sized for:

• Standard Classic Avatar (one size)
• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• eBody
• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique and Hourglass

Smile!

I found this cute selfie pose by Mirukuti on the Marketplace for just 5L. It does not come with a phone prop, so I used the one that came with my Vista Animations Miriam AO. I’m sure any phone prop would work fine, though.

Thank goodness these deer are being so patient with me. Cheese! 😀

Fiercely Cute

Well Hellooo. It’s a new day and I am glad of it. Yesterday I was feeling a little blue and thankfully Love was there to feed me brownies and listen to me while I talked through all that has been bothering me recently. I am forever thankful for the wonderful women in my life. Today I woke up with a renewed sense of self and a brighter outlook. Sometimes all you need is to talk it out, and the brownies helped too! You may or may not have noticed, I keep returning to this stance in my photos lately. I think it’s fierce, and I wanted to remind myself and everyone that we are all fiercely capable amazing human beings.

If I had to pick a pattern for the look of fierce, my go-to would be red plaid. This seriously cute dress is a FREE group gift from Rir Life. Even with the undeniably feminine cut of this simple dress, I feel strong and feminine at the same time. It is the sort of dress you could wear with boots, heels, or sandals and still look good. Heck go barefoot! The gift includes the mesh dress in fitmesh sizes as well as specific sizes for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza bodies. To get this adorable FREE gift, head over to Rir Life and join their FREE group. While wearing the Rir Life group tag, just click the gift box on the counter under the vendor photo.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Good morning Fabulous Readers 🙂  Rir Life is a bit of an early bird and has their group gift for September out already!  The Rir Life inworld group is 10L to join, but after you activate that group tag you gain access to wonderful monthly group gifts.  The group gift for September is the pretty black Cross Back Maxi Dress you see me wearing in this post.  As you can see from the photo below it is trimmed with a splash of colour.
