Toes in the Sand

My RL vacation is looming, but somewhat oddly I’m not going anywhere hot.  I’m sure it will rain most of the time, but that’s ok, I’ll still have a good time peeking at all the green fields.  So really, I’m getting my sand and surf and all the tropical plants I can stomach inworld.  Virtual toes in virtual sand is kinda the same thing as the real thing, right?  RIGHT?

Tell Me the Truth

I’m sending you to three different locations today, but I think you may forgive me when you see all my pretty finds!  Truth has a new group gift out!  If you’re not part of the group yet, whatcha waiting for?  Join for 350L and you get regular awesomeness delivered straight to you in group notices.  This gift is called Alias, and it comes in a full fatpack of colours as well as different style options.  I love how it’s all undone and messy…perfect for summer!

I’m All Ears

I also picked up a bunch of jewelry as group gifts over at LaGyo!  I joined their group for 150L, and this cute cat ear headband encrusted with HUD-changeable gems was mine for the taking!  There are a bunch of other fun jewelry and accessory gifts there too.  Woot!

Dressing Up

Finally, my dress is the latest Midnight Mania board over at Punk JUSTUS.  No group join required, just come slap the board and call your friends over to grab this great summery wrap dress for FREE!  I love the swirling blue designs, and the little hip tie is a great little detail.  What more can I say than SWEET!

I love discovering new events on the grid, and our friends over at Second Life Syndicate have started their own event this month called Loading…!  It’s all gamer themed, and there are lots of fun finds, as well as some really affordable ones that you won’t want to pass up.  Oh and yeah, there are a few FREE gifts too!

Content Loaded

While I was walking around the stalls over at Loading…, I came across some really cool stuff, including a free gift for members of the Second Life Syndicate inworld group.  Just join their group for free, and this really cool seating by Hilted is yours for zero Lindens!  It has a whole bunch of really great poses included, that are all great for taking pics and just generally being awesome.  While I was there I also found this cute and affordable (it’s only 50L!) latex tube top by SynCo (sized for Maitreya bodies).  They have a whole bunch of different pixelated designs to choose from, including hamburgers, donuts, and even a really cute wave.  I had a hard time choosing!  Here’s the ad for you to take a peep yourself!

The Loading… event runs until July 29th, so make sure you stop by!

Anywhere But Here

Alright guys, I’ve left the beach and I’m gonna hitch a ride to anywhere but here.  Sometimes city life does get to be a bit of a bother, so I’m eschewing the concrete jungle with a firm hand and I’m going mobile!

Hit the Road, Aline

My hitchhiking look is all inspired by a fun hunt that’s going on right now at Death Row Designs (aka DRD).  It’s not necessarily the easiest thing in the world, but it was pretty entertaining!  I landed at the main store and joined the group for FREE, then grabbed the hunt HUD.  Walking along the main path of the store, you’ll find little lunch bags all over the place!  You give them a click, and inside will be your fun wearable prize (I just strewed my stuff all over the place so you can see it, but all the items are wearable and feature a great bento hold animation).  The tricky bit with this hunt, is that all the bags you’re hunting for are not static, in other words, once you click on it it will disappear into the ether and show up somewhere else.  Don’t let that deter you, I got the hunt done fairly quickly without too much head scratching!  Once you collect all the prizes, you get the final prize which is this cool backpack which comes in both male and female sizes.  Can’t say no to that!

A Comfy Look

To match my hitchhiking mood, I clearly needed the right outfit for hitting the road, and this great one by Crom fits the bill perfectly.  I grabbed it over at The Wash Sizzling Summer Cart Sale for a measly 25L.  Perfect!  This outfit comes sized for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, Voluptuous and Fitmesh Sizes from S-L with an Alpha layer.

Hit the Road, Readers!

Dive Right In

I’m not gonna apologize for my bathing suit obsession these days, I feel like my collection growing to disproportionate amounts is not really a bad thing.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.  Plus…HELLO, WATERMELONS!

Making A Splash

My sweet watermelon-adorned bathing costume is a FREE group gift over at DM:: They’ve got all sorts of goodies there for you through different group joins.  I joined the DM:: group for FREE and clicked on the little box on the shelf.  Easy peasy!  This bathing suit comes with a texture change HUD to switch your look to several different patterns, making it really several bathing suits in one!  Yussss!

I Just Can’t Stop

The Summer sun continues to inspire me these days, and it’s all about the swimwear and fun by the water.  Where I live it’s mostly about lakes, where I eschew the creepiness of the snapping turtle while sitting on a dock.  I’m walking around by the water’s edge sipping some form of beverage which I’m sure isn’t good for me, and just keepin’ it real (whatever that really means)…

You Can Never Have too Many Bathing Suits

I know I’ve been in bathing suits a lot of the time the last few days, but SL creators just keep churning out some great stuff!  I got this cute two piece over at Seniha, as it’s their latest group gift.  It comes in a flowered and non flowered version which would be pretty cool to mix and match tops and bottoms with!  I just have a thing for ombré so kept it simple that way.  You can get yours by joining the Seniha group for free and clicking on the vendor in the group gift area.  There are loads of other cool gifts there too, while you’re at it!

A Bit of Sizzle

Ok, so I may have a mild obsession with the beach and ice cream right now.  Can you blame me though?  It’s July and all things sweet and hot are on the horizon.  Why fight it when all I want to do is spend my days on the sand?

Sizzling!

You may have heard here on the blog that The Wash Sizzling Summer Cart sale is going down!  I really love this event, because you find some really fun deals when you check out the stalls!  I came across this super adorable minidress by ML Fashion.  The best part about it is the fact that it’s materials enabled which means that it shines and glows as you move, giving a really realistic iridescent effect.  I chose the darker “rainbow” effect outfit, but there are a few other options that are really just as pretty. I picked this sweet outfit up (which comes with an amazing set of lace up sandals too) for just 25L!  There’s also a free gift at the cart as well, so make sure you check that out!

An Evening Walk

There is something sacred about the evening walk in the summer.  You should always make time for that wonderful pastime as the sun goes down, and if it’s in a scenic location and involves ice cream then all the better!

A Bit of Vanity

It’s the Vanity event’s anniversary!  And in spectacular fashion, they’ve got plenty of gifts to go around.  Join their group for FREE and get access to all the lovely gifties that are available at each stall.  Here’s what I’m showing you today!

• FREE outfit by Rosary sized for Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya
• FREE lipstick by Lisa Walker with appliers for Catwa, Genus and Lelutka heads

As a little disclaimer, I believe some of the group gifts are set to the wrong group at the moment, so be patient to get a few of them because I’m sure they’ll sort it out eventually!  These two I’m showing you though are set to the correct Vanity Event Group.

Pastel Ice Cream

Another magical element of summer that I enjoy all too much is the plethora of frozen treats you can get!  It seems to me that ice cream is no longer just a thing you have on its own, but a crazy amalgam of as many sweet things as one can stuff into a small container.  I’m not complaining about the craziness of today’s ice cream, on the contrary…I say bring it on and why not dress just as sweet to match?

Feeling Lucky

There are new lucky boards for the month of July over at Safira!  5 cute outfits (plus the 5 that went up last month) that are all sorts of adorable!  I got this two piece look while hanging out there, and you must admit that it’s really sweet.  I like a good pleated skirt, and if it’s turquoise I surely can’t complain!  To get yours, just join the Safira group for 50L and then wait for your letter to come up.  There are loads and loads of great gifts to pick up while you’re there too!

Magical Beret

I told you all yesterday about the free gifts over at The Crystal Heart Academy, but I had one more thing I really wanted to show you that I picked up while I was there weaving my way through the magic wands and sparkles.  This hat and hair by Ayashi is simply divine, don’t you think? It just makes me super happy.  It’s completely free, no group join required over at the event, and you can wear it with or without the hat.  It comes in several hair colours as well as a super useful HUD to change the hat colour.  Cuteness overload!

Geez, this ice cream is so tasty!

Academy for the Cute

It’s time to get mystical, magical and super kawaii, because the Crystal Heart Academy has rolled back into town, featuring a massive host of things that bring me back to my Sailor Moon phase in high school.  Did anyone else have one of those eras where you just really wanted super long ponytails and to transform into some kind of magical school girl…um…sailor….thing?  Look, the details are hazy, all I know is that they wore pleated skirts and had a snappy song.  Anyway, I got some great FREEBIES to bring me back to the days of not understanding the premise of a show entirely but still enjoying it!

Fighting Evil by Moonlight

So, as I said, it’s all about the Crystal Heart Academy right now!  It may be super hard to get into at the moment, but the wait and effort are totally worth it because there are free gifts for you!  Here’s what I found there:

• FREE Choker by Michan (unrigged so you can make it fit perfectly!)
• FREE Halo by Luas
• FREE Lollipop by Kururu (click on it to get the animation going)
• FREE Hair by Buing

There are a whole bunch of other fun gifts while you’re there, so make sure you click on the pink heart-shaped boxes!  There is no group join required, all the gifts are free for the taking!

Happy shopping!

Stella Maris

Happy Friday Fab Free!  I am parked at another SL beach dreaming quite deeply about the beaches of Sicily.  All I can think about is sun, sand and granita (which if you haven’t had ever, is probably the best invention of all time on a hot day).  That little island off the coast of Italy is full of craziness, and warmth and beauty, and even a few water nymphs.  Anyway, I digress…I found you the perfect free bathing suit to dream about Sicily in!

Star of the Sea

How nice is this one piece from Grixdale?  I absolutely love the colours and design, it makes me think of maiolica tiles (and match my amazing earrings by LaGyo that I bought at Tres Chic, kind of obsessed with that entire line that is all inspired by Sicily…but anyway!).  I got it for free over at Uber at the Grixdale booth.  They’re always quite generous with their wearable demos, and this one is really pretty!

More Hair!

I mentioned the other day that Sintiklia had three new group gifts out, and the hair I’ve got going on is one of those three!  I love how the cascading waves tumble over my shoulders!  The Sintiklia group is 250 Lindens to join, but there are loads of great gifts there to make the join price well worth it!

Time for that promised granita!
