Hot in the City

Summer time in the city calls for cool outfits, and cool attitudes.  With summer heat warnings in effect in my part of the world, all I can do is stare gratefully at my air conditioner.  SL-me is being more adventurous and heading out into the city, ready to cause a ruckus and look cool while she’s at it!

Smug Mug

I’m sending you all over the place today to get some fun group gifts to put together a cute outfit that’s right for turning heads on the hot tarmac.  Your first stop is Mug where their latest group gift is a fun little tube top.  It comes with several different texture options that you can access from the HUD, and as with all Mug offerings the sizing options are accessed through the HUD as well.  To get this cute top (and the other group gifts) just join the Mug group for 250L.

Sizes

• Maitreya
• V-Tech
• Sking (Katena)
• Freya
• Legacy

Sneaky!

Quinnty’s has a new group gift out too, and it’s these colourful sneakers. They  have a wide range of different texture options as well, ranging from 80’s fabulous to patriotic.  To get them, join the Quinnty’s group for 50L and then pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  There are lots of fun group gifts to be had at this stop, so make sure you pick them all up!  The shoes come sized for Belleza, eBody, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Slink and Tonic.

Nailed It!

This month’s group gift from Rosary is something a little different – mesh nails!  They come in three length options from short to extra-long.  I went for the middle length option, but as you can see they’re still pretty long!  They come with an HUD to change the colour and work with Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy and Slink hands!  The Rosary group is currently 350L to join, and you’ll find older group gifts available to pick up here as well.

While you’re at it, if you’re a Maitreya body user you should pick up a redelivery (you can get that through the Maitreya HUD) as the body has recently been updated to version 5.2!

Stay cool Fab Fam!

The Maple Leaf Forever

Happy Canada Day Fab Fam!  I’m all about the Red, White and Red today, happy to celebrate this awesome land!  As is my tradition, I always throw a bunch of  Canadian stereotypes your way on July 1st, so hold on to your beavertails, because it’s going to be an h-e-double-hockey-stick of a ride, eh!

Sorry!

For our maple-syrup guzzling contest (which of course is tradition on Canada Day), as well as for our moose-wrangling competition, you’ll need the perfect Canadian shirt!  Over at The Annex, they’ve got you covered with a free group gift!  On joining their free group, you gain access to this cute and clearly Canadian top which was made especially for chasing raccoons away from your poutine!  If you’re looking for some American-style celebratory gear, they’ve got a bunch for the 4th as well.

We the North

This little Canadian headband is courtesy of Sugarplum Boutique!  They’re getting you ready for all the festivities (which of course are socially distanced this year), with excellent Maple Leaves to catch any lumberjack, Mountie or sexy Prime Minister’s attention.  They only cost 10L on Marketplace!  So cool!

Well my friends, I hope that this little foray into Canadian craziness has amused you all!  To all my fellow Canucks out there, Happy Canada Day and may the butter tarts be ever in your favour!

Imperfection is Key

In the 90’s, it was always super important to me that my hair was absolutely flat and straight.  No “pouffiness” here, thank you very much!  As time went on, I learned to embrace a bit of the wild curl and the untamed mane.  Though my hair today can hardly be considered untamed, I know that back in the day the little flip up would have driven me mad.  Nowadays, I like a bit of madness and imperfection!

Sweet Bonbons

There’s a new group gift over at Bonbon!  This cute hairdo is free for members of the Bonbon group.  To get in on this flipped ends goodness, just join for 99L.  There are a bunch of fun gifts on the wall there, making the fee quite worth it.  With this style, the option to remove the bangs as well as one errant strand is up to you.  This look comes in a full fatpack of colours as well!  Cute!

Pass the Salt

Salt & Pepper have also updated their gift for the SLFO group.  This little top comes in 12 different satiny shades which you can dress up or down to your heart’s content!  The SLFO group is free to join, making this little top completely free!

ROY G. BIV

Pride celebrations continue across the grid, and my collection of rainbows is growing by the day!  I’m enjoying draping myself in ROY G. BIV (please don’t make me explain that one…) and it’s giving my mood a much-needed boost!

Love is Love

Jackalope are having a little free mini hunt over at their store, and it’s filled to the brim with absolutely free clothing, accessories, poses and even a backdrop.  No need to join a group to get these goodies, just search the store for the little hidden rainbows.  Pay 0L for each one, and inside you’ll find something to boost your mood too!  I’m showing you the top, skirt, boots, belly chain and backdrop, but there is a lot more to be had.  I’ve included the vendor pic below so you can see what’s on offer!

Sharpened Pencils

It’s far too early in the year to feel this way, but this outfit is kind of giving me back to school vibes.  I’m sorry, really I am… But you know that whole feeling of new clothing, a hint of houndstooth, the promise of new adventures, and perfectly sharpened pencils.  I’m a sucker for that kind of thing, though I know that school has just ended (for the weirdest year ever).  Enjoy the summer, but if you are feeling a bit of nostalgia, I’ll tell you where you can grab it!

Mustard and Houndstooth

This sweet and vaguely reminiscent of “Clueless” outfit is courtesy of Luas‘ lucky boards.  They were recently updated with two cute outfits, this one being one of them!  The Luas group is 50L to join, and with that fee you’ll gain access to some awesome gifts, as well as these lucky boards.  A bit of patience is all that’s required after that – just wait for your letter to come up!

I Love it

There are so many things to show you from SL17B, that I couldn’t resist showing you this lovely hairstyle from Love.  It’s completely free, no group join required over at the Shop & Hop.  You’ve still got time to pick up goodies from this massive event, so grabbing this free fatpack of hair shouldn’t be too much of a chore.

I swear I’ll go back to thinking about summer real soon!

Beachy Bliss

What is it about the beach that sets our minds at ease and calms our restless spirits?  Why do crashing waves and warm sand bring inner peace?  Maybe it has something to do with evolution and strange creatures crawling out of the primordial ooze, or maybe…it’s just pretty.  What do you think?

Summer it Up

Summerfest is going down right now and if you look closely you may just find a few free gifts here and there.  As per usual, Grixdale are offering a free version of their bikini that’s for sale.  I really like the feather-like attachments to this cute swimsuit, which is sized for Maitreya bodies.   To get yours, just take a look at their display and find the free one, easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Pouting Will Get You Everywhere

One of my fave makeup designers, Pout! are offering a free group gift to members of their free to join group!  This pretty pastel eyeshadow comes in 8 different colours and will make your eyes pop!  It comes with appliers for Catwa, Genus, Lelutka, Lelutka Evo as well as BOM.  There are a few other group gifts there too while you’re at it.  Woohoo!

Ahh, beachy bliss

Find Your Rainbow

Rainbows, rainbows everywhere these days, eh Fab Fam?  I’m not complaining one bit.  Rainbows have different meanings for different people, I’m sure – but the best part about rainbows is that they always mean something happy.  For some, rainbows represent peace, others it represents Pride, and for others it represents a massive pot of gold.  Whatever it means to you, I’m sure you can agree with me that rainbows are flipping awesome!

Numbers and Letters

28LA are celebrating Pride in an great way!  They have a large array of colourful outfits for both male and female avatars.  There are tops, jeans, leggings, and different length jackets, all priced at the very attractive 0L.  Yeppers – no need to join a group here, just click on the group of items hanging outside the store and pay 0L.  A massive pack will be delivered to you, and it’s filled to the brim with cute options.   There’s nothing better than free!  Wheeeeee!

Waiting for Fireflies

Since the summer evenings are nice and warm, I had my good friend Flam around to hang out on the porch.  We’re languishing in the remainder of the day’s heat, and waiting for the fireflies to make their appearance!

To Luas!

You’ll see that both Flam and I have pretty summery dresses on.  Mine is the latest gift from Luas!  It comes with a fairly extensive HUD to change the dress to 14 different colours and textures, change the belt colour or remove the belt completely.  To get yours, just join the Luas group for 50L and click on the vendor.  There are loads of fun and pretty gifts here, so make sure you grab them all while you’re at it.

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Legacy Perky

To Kaithleen’s!

Flam went in a romantic direction with her dress, with it’s poet sleeves and pretty blues.  It’s the latest gift from Kaithleen’s!  Grab yours by joining the Kaithleen’s group for 99L.  This dress can double as lingerie as it comes with a more see-through version to set hearts aflutter, as well as the ability to remove the sleeves if you want to go for a strapless look, and the HUD gives you the ability to chance all the ribbon and trim colours.  So pretty.

Sizes

• Ebody Curvy
• Freya
