Reach for the Stars

Brace yourselves, I’m about to quote some S Club 7 lyrics a you!

Reach for the stars 
Climb every mountain higher 
Reach for the stars 
Follow your heart’s desire 
Reach for the stars 
And when that rainbow’s shining over you 
That’s when your dreams will all come true

Sorry not sorry.  I’m covered in stars and seeing the cosmos, so we may as well reach for the stars while we’re at it!

Bittersweet and Seeing Stars

Oh, right – I was here to discuss clothes!  I nipped over to the Bittersweet event, and found that there are some free and affordable fun things hanging about for you to get your paws on.  I grabbed the Magic Hour dress by Sass for a cool 10 Lindens – don’t you love the starry look?  So sweet.  I also grabbed my lovely lipstick and eye makeup  by MJN for free.  It’s a really versatile and beautiful applier for Omega and Catwa.  Go reach for the stars yourself over at the Bittersweet event!

Centre Stage

When I’m ready to take centre stage, and I need to look absolutely ravishing, I really do want to look a little magical.  Fine, a lot magical.  I’ve found some really beautiful freebies that help me achieve my goal – you’ll look amazing too!

Redeux it all Again!

Nevi mentioned a few days ago that there were some free gifts over at Redeux, so I went to check it out!  If you haven’t made it there yet, I highly recommend it because I had a hard time choosing which gifts to show you – there are loads and loads of pretty ones to choose from.  I settled on this gorgeous green bathing suit/bodysuit sized for Maitreya bodies from The Forge.  The little fluttery details around the hips are absolutely brilliant.  I also found this necklace made of roses by Devious Mind that I absolutely adore – truly a standout!  Don’t delay, Redeux is only around until the 21st, so grab your gifts by joining the free group before it’s too late!

Eye See You

My fave fave faaaaave eye designer, Euphoric, have some free gifts at their store!  If you haven’t checked them out yet, you really should.  Each time they put a new ad out I gasp at the prettiness and detail of the work.  Amazingly, they have some free eyes out right now as a group gift (and a few other goodies too).  Best of all, you can make use of this gift whether you have a mesh head or a system body because they have options for both, as well as several different colours!  The Euphoric group is free to join, so hustle on over and pick up some new peepers!

Go turn some heads!

One Day I’ll Fly Away

Sometimes one just wants to put on something soft and sweet and think about teacups and roses.  I’m in one of those moods that involves spending some time with swans while I moon about looking ethereal!

Soft White

I picked up this gorgeous dress, complete with the beautiful detailing on top (which is just a little see-through) over at On9!  I joined the group there for free and made my way over to the very back of the event, through the door and into the back room where I found this gift.  This dress is sized for Maitreya Lara and comes in both this dusty rose colour and red!  Go grab yours before it disappears on August 31st!  There are one or two other gifts hanging around if you search them out too!

Sorry, no time to chat, I need to waft about gracefully!

That Crazy Feeling Again

I’m having another one of those weird “put me in a bodysuit, stick some stickers on me and let me dance like a lunatic” moments.  I feel like they may happen more often than I’d like to admit… Luckily I found some great gifts to get me through this moment of insanity… though if you’d like to join me, the more the merrier (and the madder!).

Flowing Free

I was excited to hear that Pr!tty has found another more permanent home again, and to celebrate there are a bunch of new group gifts out!  There are also a whole bunch of older ones if you didn’t get the chance to grab them last time around.  You can join the Pr!tty group for 200 Lindens, but there are more than 10 gifts to be had, most of them fatpacks of hair, so it really is a great deal!  Today, I’m wearing the Yoshi hair, which is super adorbs with little space buns on the top.  Love it!

Outside the Box

Asteroidbox have released another group gift as well, and it’s this slick bodysuit which comes in four bright summery colours.  The electric blue really tickled my fancy, so I slapped it on and got a bit wacky.  Isn’t it nice?  It makes me very happy to tell you the truth.  You can join the Asteroidbox group for 75 Lindens and pick up a few other gifts while you’re there.

Purple is Pleasant

Ah, the colour purple.  There’s something so wonderful about it, and I’m not quite sure what it is.  I would gladly talk about the magic of all hues ranging from lavender to grape, but I won’t bore you with gory details.  All you need to know is this pretty purple top (and my hair!) are completely FREE!

Enchanting

The Enchantment hunt is happening right now, and the theme is The Frog Prince!  The event is full of lovely things to buy, but stores participating in the hunt have lots of free goodies as well.  I headed over to Love and found the little frog hiding in the store.  Inside were a whole bunch of fun things, like my fringed bikini top (comes in loads of different colours and sized for Hourglass and Maitreya) and my long hair (oh yes, it’s a fatpack)!  There are even cropped t-shirts and knickers in the box, so you’re getting a really great cross-section of FREE gifts!  Make like a frog and hop to it!

Ah, purple.  My fave.

Mixing it Up

Have you ever felt both girly and tough at the same time?  I mean, in the way that you can’t decide which way to go?  I always used to fill out those quizzes in magazines like Seventeen and YM back in the day and I never fit into one category only.  I’d always sit somewhere between girly, goth, bohemian and sporty.  You can imagine it was slightly frustrating – I never knew which style I really was, but in a way it was completely freeing.  I could be whatever I wanted without any quiz dictating who I should be.  I guess that’s what this look is about!

Search for Strawberries!

I was over at The Guest List cart sale, and they’ve set up a fun little hunt!  If you keep your eyes peeled, you will notice that on most carts there is a little strawberry hiding – inside is a free gift!  It may take a little time for the strawberry to rez, but it is there, I promise.  I found the prize on the Salty cart, and how cute is it?  It’s this super adorable little blue checked romper.  It ticks the box of being absolutely girly and fun!

Don’t Choke…

There’s a new event on the grid called Output!  They have a group gift out, which is this cute little spiky choker by Little Fox that I picked up by joining the Output group!  The group is free to join, so that makes this little bauble completely free!  I guess this choker represents the tough side of me – whatevs, I think it all works well together!  Go grab yours!

Time for a picnic, I think!

The First Twinge

Sure, it’s still summer.  I know that.  It’s hot out, the sun is shining like mad, and I can hear people splashing in the nearby pool outside my window.  But….there’s something there.  Something in the air that makes me kind of feel the first twinges of fall.  I may be crazy, but there’s *something* that changes every August.  Like the sound of a Blue Jay calling, or a few crazy trees that decide to start turning colour exceedingly early… and all that back to school talk in the stores.  The feeling is subtle, but it got me thinking about fall.  I’m not ready for it quite yet – really, I’m not, but I found a dress that may just get me in the mood…

Crisp and Starry

I went over to Ersch and found that they have this amazing dress out as a group gift.  It’s right up my alley in dark Lolita style, peppered with constellations.  I love it.  It also comes with sleeves you can wear for more dark moodiness!  I joined their group for 75L to pick this one up – though there are a few other gifts you can grab while there as well.  The dress is a Maitreya Lara exclusive fit, but you never know – give it a try, it may fit you!

I think I need to get back in a bikini though, before summer fleets away!

You’re a Gem!

One of the best things about Second Life is the fact that there are so many awesome places for you to take selfies.  And if you can’t find an awesome place, you make an awesome place.  That’s what I managed to do today with a few free gifts and a bit of creativity!

The Outfit

Before I get to my glittering surroundings, let me tell you about this cute outfit I grabbed over at the Vanity Event for free!  Scandalize is always generous with their gifts, and now that they’re running the Vanity Event, they haven’t slowed down one bit.  If you join the free group there, you will find this lovely little top and bottom combo in a truly appealing mint hue.  You can wear the top, bottom and sleeves all separately and there are two different options in the folder:  glitter (which of course I chose) and plain.  I love it!

The Gems

You can totally selfie it up with these giant gems from Melt!  I grabbed them for free over at The Gacha Life.  I joined their free group and clicked on all the little gift bags at the event, and lo and behold, one of them contained a whole bunch of pretty, colourful and glowing massive gems!  You can decorate your little world to your heart’s content.  Whee!

Shine on, my darlings!

One in a Melon

Isn’t watermelon awesome?  It’s not just refreshing and delicious, nor is it just a nostalgic fruit of your childhood… it’s also pretty and oh so in this season!  You know, I never thought I’d get the chance to write the sentence “nostalgic fruit of your childhood”.  Some girls really do have all the luck!

Make a Splash

As I was hopping about the grid, I noticed that NyDesign has a new group gift out!  It’s this oh so cute bathing suit and cover up combo that comes with several different options on the HUD:  you’ve got five different fruity looks to choose from (lemons and strawberries, here you come!), and you can also decide whether you want the cover up to be fruity or the bathing suit….or both!  I can’t contain my excitement…it’s all too much awesome!  Best of all, the NyDesign group is completely free to join, making this great beach look completely FREE!

Fantasy Getaway

Well hey there Fab Free!  After a long toil on a very delayed plane, I’m back to reality!  It seems I can only take reality in small doses though, so I jumped on to SL to forget about the rain falling outside by finding my way to a sunny beach!

Shine On

The perfect dress for my fantasy tropical getaway was the July Group Gift over at Sass!  It’s a fun little strapless baby doll dress in a punchy hue to banish all thoughts of clouds and realities of any kind!  I grabbed it by joining the group for 50 Lindens (totally worth it as there are loads of other gifts to grab there too).  Pay the vendor 1L, and it will be returned to you.  Yay for happy dresses!

My super cute summery heels are this month’s group gift at Mosquito’s Way.  The group is free to join – and the shoes are super high quality so it’s quite the treat!  Aren’t the little starfish beads cute?  I wish I had these shoes in RL!  The Anya heels are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink.  Go grab ’em!

I’ll just sit here for a while and soak it all in… you go do your thing!
