Dream a Summer Dream

Sometimes we need to recharge… take a moment to close our eyes and dream. I found the perfect sim for it if you like art and books. You might want to stop by the Arts and Literary Salon where there is book discussions and art displays for you to enjoy.

I took the chance to put together a dreamy summer look while I enjoyed one of the blankets under a charming little tree I found. My look is courtesy of Wicca’s Wardrobe this morning.

First, I picked up the 1L Women’s Stuff Hunt gift that Wicca’s Wardrobe is generously contributing to this hunt as a prize. It is this lovely strawberry dress in all the standard sizes as well as fitmesh, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The box also includes two texture patterns of the dress, so you get not only the dress I am showing, but one additional pattern. And only 1L for all of this strawberry goodness!

I was pleased to discover that the August group gift at Wicca’s Wardrobe was a sexy pair of boots that matched the dress quite nicely. These over the knee dragon boots come in standard mesh as well as slink fits. To get them to fit my Maitreya body, I simply removed my feet. They are highly detailed, and there is a male version of the boots out for group members as well. If you are not already a member, the group fee is 50L, but you get access to many past group gifts as well as these fantastic boots, making it well worth your join fee.

I’m off for a nap and a dream. Enjoy your day!

The Lady in Red

There’s a fresh FREE lucky board at Entice (no group required) that is just yummy! This Rain Over Me in Gradient dress (with a 3 color hud for red, blue, or purple as your color choices) is yours with a bit of luck if your letter comes up. Don’t fret though… it’s right next to several other lucky letter boards, a FREE Group Midnight Mania board, a no group required FREE midnight Mania board, and other group gifts … all FREE. So you’re bound to find things to keep you busy while you wait for your letter!

This dress in standard fitmesh sizes as well as Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fits, and includes an alpha layer for standard mesh bodies as well. You’re bound to find your fit!

The Moda board locked down the other day too, delivering me a pair of Cayla Wedges in red… woot! These matched my new Entice dress in its red color so well, that I couldn’t help remind you of this awesome FREE Midnight mania board. It locks down at 400 slaps and the pair of shoes changes out daily… so it’s worth smacking to lock down… just go slap it!

** Quick note to clarify: Since my Moda shoes are from a couple of days ago, today’s style and color will be different. As I explained in the paragraph above, the style and/or color available changes daily! This is just a reminder of this great free offer🙂

Summer Romance

It’s a beautiful Saturday and I have lots of goodies for you! My pretty look made me think of summer romance… flowers and picnics… and it all began with the new FREE group gift from *COCO* Clothes. The group is FREE to join so the pale pink scoop neck Tee shirt with 3quarter sleeves you see me wearing is yours for 0L. It comes in mesh fits for classic avatars, as well as Maitreya and Slink fits.

I got a notice this morning that one of my favorite hair designers was offering a new VIP Group Gift. If you are a member of the Mina Hair VIP group, you can pick up the Juliet hair for women in essential colors FREE as a group gift right now at the main store. If you need the group tag, it will cost 200L to join, but Mina Hair offers monthly gifts — one for the ladies and one for the gents. And they are always as generous and lovely as this one.

I wanted some jewelry to add to the neckline of my outfit so I stopped by .:ECCO:. because I’d heard that there were new lucky letter boards to try. There are, in fact, three new lucky letter boards! Two are FREE to all, and one is VIP exclusive only. To use the VIP lucky letter board you have to wear your .:ECCO:. group tag (which is 200L), but your fee is well worth it as you get access to monthly group gifts as well as a large number of past group gifts as well.

While I was visiting, my letter came up on the VIP board, and I picked up this Thalia Choker with color change hud. It has a black thong and you can change the beads to 8 possible color choices for mix and match delight!

While I was at .:ECCO:. I noticed that there were two other gifties that were a perfect match for the summer romance feel of my outfit… and these were completely FREE. If you don your FabFree group tag (the group is FREE to join) you can pick up a gift of these Tipped Floral Flats as a gift courtesy of .:ECCO:. In the box, you’ll find pairs to fit Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza feet.

I also picked up this FREE Floral Satchel by donning my SL Frees & Offers Group tag. This pretty floral bag is the FREE gift from .:ECCO:. as part of that group and added a nice final touch to my outfit.

Stargazing in Wicca’s Wardrobe

“Only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is the time of year that we are reminded that there is beauty to be had in the simple pleasures of life — things like nature walks, the crisp bite of the fall wind, camp-outs with a friend, and yes — even in Second Life — stargazing.

“Bright Star! Would I were steadfast as though art –
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores.”
– John Keats

Of course on those cooler fall evenings, stargazing calls for a little bit warmer clothing — and thank goodness Wicca’s Wardrobe is here to help out with clothes for both the guys and the gals with their sweet, sweet steals! For just a one time 50L group join, you will have access to all their present and past group gifts, including male and female group gifts. These range from dresses, pants, full outfits, and shoes… to poses as well!

Above you can see that Riler and Astrid found matching Indian Summer jeans in a great late shade of fading late autumn brown and Riler is sporting a pair of October Boots called Easy Rider Boots. These are both great gifts from Wicca’s Wardrobe, which you can call “yours,” once your group tag is steadfastly in place.

“If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize there are more important things than what people do all day.” – Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes

These male and female jackets by Wicca’s Wardrobe came separate from the jeans, but look as if they were just made for them, and certainly are a matching set for any two friends who need to stay warm on autumn evening camp outs to star gaze and discuss the really important things in life.

The male version of the jacket which Riler is wearing is called Luke and comes in all the standard mesh sizes. It is one piece (the undershirt with coat attached) for easy fitting, and is a great compliment to the female version of the jacket called Leia which Astrid is sporting. Leia too is one piece in all the standard sizes and fits just as nicely.

There are plenty of new and old group gifts to be had for your piddly 50L group join gift. You’ll be able to fill a small closet (or wardrobe!) for that small bit of change. Don’t miss out on the chance to check out Wicca’s Wardrobe!

Spumped by That Vintage Touch

Rev me up! I’m ready to ride! And a little Vintage Touch added to my inventory was just the attitude adjustment my wardrobe needed to spruce up my Sunday stop at BB’s Diner in Second Life!

You still have a few day’s left to catch the great deals at the Cart Wash Sale. So before time runs out, make sure you stop by the Vintage Touch Cart to check out their fabulous mesh T-shirts. These classic designs are only 10L each, come in all the standard sizes, and are transferable for gift giving too!

The Vintage Touch Cart also has a special deal for you while you are at their cart! If you touch the Landmark giver to their main store, it will give you a free gift and then you can travel to their main store where their line of zodiac pendants and rings are currently on sale for only 10L each as well!

Each ring or pendant package includes both a male and female item in two sizes. Astrid is wearing the Capricorn set above and below is a picture of the full line up of all the zodiac styles available!

Okay, so I couldn’t resist a stretch out on top of the convertible I found outside of the diner… but only because I wanted to show you these fabulous SHOES! Oh my goodness! You simply must make a hop stop to shop at Pure Poison to nab up these heart-popping Leila Spumps. Yes! I said spumps! If you are wearing your Pure Poison Group tag you are eligible for a free spin on the Leila Gacha and can get a pair of these fantastic spumps for free! I didn’t get the rare, but the gift gacha granted me a pair in black, so I was just as spumped (pun intended)!!!

Best yet? Right now the Pure Poison group is FREE to join, making this a FREE gift! This may be a limited time offer, as I do remember the group having a fee in the past, so be sure to nab up your group invite ASAP!

Now if wine and burgundy aren’t your thing, don’t let that deter you from stopping by the Vintage Touch Cart to pick up a T-shirt. As you can see below, the variety is terrific. There are 8 great styles available, in 8 different colors — and while my shirt was about wine… there are shirts for milk lovers, tea drinkers, coffee connoisseurs, and beer buddies. This creator has you covered! Check it out below!

Anachron Take Me Away!

Remember those old © Calgon commercials where the actors would say in breathy voices, “Calgon take me away!”? That’s how I felt when I found this great line up of goodies and this fun beach front Blues Club this weekend!

Sure I could hit the beach in a bikini, but a Blues Beach Dance Club called for something a little more chez-chic so I headed over to [VM] Vero Modero and was happily rewarded with this sexy outfit perfect for dancing the night away under a starry sky. It shows just enough tummy to be hip (pun intended!) — and yet covers just enough to be modest as well! It includes the great pearl necklace and bangly bangles too and you can pick it up FREE with your group tag (the group is FREE to join as well!)

And if that wasn’t enough to rock my world — 7 Deadly s{K}ins just put out their September Group Gift! And she is rocking hawt! Just look at that face will ya! The package includes two shades (Astrid has on the darker tone, but there is also a nice shade that is a bit paler for blondes), two cleavage options, and also SLink hand and feet appliers as well as Lolas breast appliers. The skin is FREE with your group tag (the group is 50L to join but well worth it for the regular gifts!).

And check out my feet! Can you believe these shoes! The Cart Wash Sale is not over yet and these were my dancing shoes for the night! (Seriously, who dances in heels anyway right?!) The Anachron Cart blew me away with their gorgeous Geta Shoes in multiple shades and styles and I had a hard time choosing which ones to pair with my outfit as they all seemed to be a perfect match! And at only 10L a pair (and by the way these are SLink flat feet compatible and unisex, ladies and gentlemen!) they were just too tempting to pass up. I had to have them all!

Check out the Anachron Cart offerings at the Cart Wash Below! You’ll want to grab up all of them too!

When I stumbled across this cute group gift at Ruca Tease, I knew I had to have it.  Why?  This is totally something I would wear in real life!  The over-sized sweater comes in 5 sizes, and the package includes matching earrings, boots, and system layer jeans.  A great leather shoulder bag is also available as a gift.  Not only is it gorgeous, your friends can sneak treats from your bag just by clicking on it.  It is my new favorite toy! The group is only $20 L to join, and is more than worth it, with multiple group gits for men and women.

 

My new cupcakey outfit was the perfect thing to run errands.  My first stop had to be The Grocery Store and Market.  This may be one of the funniest stores I have been in!  Grab your free cart and wear it, then cruise the aisles for all sorts of fun and free food to fill it up.  Among the freebies are some really great and fun food and celebration sets, so this store is really worth a stop.
