Champs Élysées

Wanderlust has officially set in here.  I’ve been pacing around my home wondering when it will be the propitious moment to jet off to some faraway land filled with magic and delight.  My favourite faraway land at the moment has to be Paris.  I’m ready to walk idly on the grands boulevards, stop for some macarons at Ladurée and stand at the top of the Champs Élysées sighing audibly at the wonder and beauty of the Arc de Triomphe.  Second Life to the rescue again, I jetted over to Paris 1900 to find all the best landmarks in one convenient location.  I even put on a beret because I thought I’d be completely insane and have all the locals look at me like I’ve lost my mind.  Cute tho, right? 😉

Blueberry Strikes Again!

Just last week I was rambling about how it doesn’t happen often that Blueberry will participate in a discount weekend, and here we one week on with yet another amazing deal!  This top and skirt combo can be picked up today as part of Fifty Linden Fridays, and it will just cost you 50L for each item.  That’s a fabulous deal in order to get your mitts on some Blueberry!  Don’t wait too long… it’s all supposed to be gone at midnight!

A Bit of Blueberry at the Beach

It’s not every weekend that there’s a massive deal over at Blueberry…when there is, you gotta grab it!  Read on!

Feeling Blue…berry

Yep, Blueberry is in the Saturday Sale this week!  I know!  It only happens once in a blue moon that they join up and put an item on sale, so totally worth getting in on this deal if you want to own some BB!  The Alicia top and pants are just so awesome for summer, with a fun boho vibe that I had to pick it up.  The top is 75L, and the pants 75L as well.  There are several different options in the HUD, so you’re sure to find one that suits you – even some non-boho colours!  Don’t wait though, Saturday Sale items don’t hang around for long!

Floppy Hat Friday

I’ve made my way to the beach!  It’s time to slather on the SPF, and turn off the world.  But there may be a bit of shopping to be done before you get to the beach today…

FLF Time!

I found a few awesome items on today’s Fifty Linden Friday list that I really wanted to share with you.  Your first stop is Mina, where you’ll be able to grab this gorgeous hair and hat for the low price of just 50L.  I often get asked where to get hair and hats (we all know hats can be an issue in SL…) and this is an excellent option for the summer months.  I also picked up this sweet dress over at Evani for just 50L as well.  There are few different texture options in the box, so this is a pretty versatile look for a low price.

Dress Sizes

• Freya
• Legacy
• Maitreya

As always with FLF items, they’re around til just midnlight SLT, so don’t wait if you want to pick up these awesome deals!

A Random Rant

Have you ever had someone take you on a tour of their house?  It’s one of those events that can either be very illuminating – giving you an insight into the way people live, their taste and what gives them comfort, or it can be the most soporific event you can take part in.  I have been on far too many house tours, sometimes visiting the same house 3 times because I’m too polite to point out that I’ve visited before.  The point is that even the events that could be interesting are often turned into something tawdry and self-important.  I am therefore, not going to give you a tour of my house, but instead stop blathering and get straight into this cute outfit.

What Was that About?

I honestly don’t know why I was ranting about house tours – I may or may not have been given one recently that sent me into fits of yawns, and just had to get it out of my system.  Anyway, it’s time for a new Amitomo Gacha!  You all know how much I love the looks they put together in their affordable gachas.  This outfit can be found at Kustom9, and in my often scientifically followed method, I only pulled 3 times and got this top and skirt (the third was another pretty top – I didn’t get the rare this time!).  Being in charge of a budget-conscious blog often has me truly wondering about the price-effectiveness of a gacha, and I always come to the conclusion that Amitomo is worth it!  At 69L per pull, you’ll always end up with a full outfit in just a few tries.  This outfit comes sized for Maitreya bodies.   This round of Kustom9 is running until June 10th!

Good luck!

I Dream of Granita

I’m right in the frame of mind where I’m ready to be on summer vacation.  My brain has filled with visions of light fabrics, sunny skies, scudding clouds and a nice lemon granita.  The summer always brings a nice sense of calm, and the thought of shoveling snow or -30 windchill is nowt but a distant memory.  Time to do some basking!

The Price is Right

Over at Poème right now you’ll find this absolutely perfect summer dress priced for just 75L for a limited time.  There are a bunch of lovely different textures to choose from, so if you black and white isn’t your thing, you’re sure to find something else that delights just as much.  You can also change the belt to black if you’d prefer!  Again, this deal won’t be around forever, so don’t wait too long!

Venti Strawberry Açai Refresher

My first thought when I put on this outfit was “time for a workout”, but of course that devolved into “time for a leisurely stroll with a drink that has over 1500 calories in it”.  I suppose the two are synonymous in some way.  At least in my world they are – because they involve some form of movement…. right?  RIGHT?!  Come on people, work with me here!

Dark Waters

My top and shorts are one of my latest finds from The Wash Cart sale!  You’ve most likely heard that this is their final round ever, so do head over to stock up on reasonably priced goodness.  We’re sad to see them go, but we are glad for the memories.  I stopped by the Dark Water Designs cart and grabbed this top and shorts look that is perfect for either being industrious or….not.  It will only cost you 25L, and that’s awesome!

Among the Ruins

Here we go, FabFree.  Time to visit some ruins in a snazzy outfit.   What, you don’t do that every day?  Well, technically neither do I, but I do love a good ruin and a great outfit.  Next time I’ll visit the Forum in Rome wearing a ball gown.

Aline’s Kustom

It is indeed my custom to visit the event Kustom9 every month and play a few gachas.  I’ve extolled the virtue of Amitomo’s gachas many times in the past, mostly because it actually is an excellent deal.  I know there are gachas out there that are fun to play, but you often end up with 20 pairs of nose rings in puce, instead of the item you really want.  When it comes to Amitomo, you’re sure to walk away with a full outfit even if you’re just pulling once or twice.  Whenever I play these gachas, I keep our readers in mind – I know many of us like a good bargain, and I feel that Amitomo really does deliver bang for your buck.  At just 69L per pull, I got this top, shorts, and jacket (sized for Maitreya bodies) after my first try.  Worth it!  You’ll find lone jackets, earrings as well as a pretty hairstyle as the prizes too.  Good luck!

Now I wonder if there is a sim that features the Forum in Rome….

A Time for all Things

It’s the perfect time of the year for two things: first, clambering through the woods and second – The Wash Event!

In Dark Water

It’s always nice when the weather turns cool to have a fun event to look forward to.  The Wash churns out a great discount event several times per year, and this season’s is no different.  You’ll find plenty to love, just like I did!  My first stop was the Dark Water Designs display.  This floral jumper gives me all the right 90’s feels that are perfect for this time of year!  If florals aren’t your jam, then there are some really nice plaids too.  Best of all, this top and jumper set only costs 30L.  Oh, and there’s even an iced coffee in the box for you. Perfect!

What Could Go Wrong?

There’s this thing that happens in summer where the minute I get ready for something summery (today on the menu is surfing…) the clouds appear, or the wasps show up and all my summer plans are dashed.  Happily, I can avoid all the unpleasantness with a bit of windlight magic in SL!

Sun-Sational

The Wash’s Sun-Sational Event is still raging on this month, and I came across this super cute bikini and sandals outfit courtesy of Artic Storm.  There are several different colours to choose from at The Wash, and I went for the pink option.  The whole outfit is a steal at just 25L!  How awesome is that?

A Slice of Heaven

It’s one of those days where all I want to do is go out, buy ridiculous amounts of objects that I don’t really need, and then finish with a massive bowl of ice cream.  Doesn’t that sound wonderful?  I think everyone has their own idea of heaven, but that might just be one of my favourite iterations!

Gacha Good

Kustom9 is in full gear right now, and Amitomo are back at it with their newest gacha.  I can never resist playing the Amitomo gachas, because they really are a great deal.  You usually walk away from 1 or 2 plays with a full outfit, and with a bit of luck you often land the rares.  This has been my experience at the very least!  I promise that I only played this gacha three times (at 69L per pull) and I landed this full outfit (the dress, jacket, bags and ice cream, all with HUDs to customize the bags and ice cream, as well as the hand colour) as well as the rare hair.  In my books, that’s an awesome deal!  Plus…just look at it, how much more late 80’s early 90’s appealing can you get?  This fun outfit comes sized for Maitreya bodies and there are loads of different versions of the outfit you could end up with!  Check out the vendor pic below!

Good luck!
