A Cynfully Sweet Summer Night

Hello Fabulous Readers! I hope you are having a wonderful day. Ripley and I have a few lovely gifts to share with you today…. one of them is available for a limited time only, so if you like it, please act quickly.

A Time Sensitive Top

My cute, Ness cropped top is quite time sensitive, so if you are interested in scooping it up, I’d suggest teleporting to the Cynful booth at the Les Fest as soon as possible. I just discovered that the event ends today. This location has an adult rating, so in order to pick up the gift, you will have to be able to visit an adult area in SL. With a realistic texture and slender shoulder straps, this free knotted shirt will pair beautifully with a long skirt, as I have chosen for my outfit, or a pair of shorts for a more casual look. I opted for a neutral gray solid hue, but the gift includes a HUD which offers you a choice of solid, print or ombre textures in a variety of tones.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus
Maitreya
Slink Hourglass and Physique

Long Wavy Tresses

My hair today is another of the many free gifts you can gather at the SL14B Community Celebration. Available at the Alice Project booth, the Mercedes II hair is a lovely center parted hairstyle. The package includes a basics HUD with 15 texture options ranging from the white I chose to wear, blonde, red, brown or black to the more exotic aqua, light blue, and pink. I love this simple, wavy hairdo. It’s so feminine and soft.

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Not All Stars Belong to the Sky

Happy Monday, Fabulouses! Ripley and I continued exploring the SL14B Community Celebration, and have three more gifties to share with you to brighten up the beginning of your week.

Time for a New Hairdo

I visited the salon in RL over the weekend, and it’s kind of funny how I followed suit in SL as well. My new hairstyle is courtesy of Mina Hair, one of my go-to hair designers. The Myrtle hair has side-swept bangs which tuck into a woven pattern in the back that I would love to duplicate in RL. I really like the way the hair leaves my shoulders bare in the front, except for just a few stray wisps. The package includes both a materials and non-materials version of the tresses, and an Essentials color pack with 9 options. Best of all, the Myrtle hair is completely free. Simply teleport to the Mina salon and click the vendor.

A Sweet Little Tank

My blue and white tank from ISON is one of my favorite fabulous finds. With delicate shoulder straps and laces in the front, this free cropped shirt is perfect for warm summer days. If blue and white stripes aren’t your style, the top includes a texture change HUD with a pretty solid olive green option, or a cheery yellow print. I opted for the more nautical-looking pattern to coordinate with my anklet (more on that in a moment). I love that the designer included three choices for this gift!

Mesh Body Compatibility:

- Maitreya
- Hourglass
- Physique

The Finishing Touch

I chose to accessorize my casual outfit with one more free present from !Rebel Hope Designs. The Starfish Beach Anklet features a golden, five-armed sea creature flanked by three glistening beads, all suspended from a silver chain. It can sometimes be hard to get anklets to fit properly depending on the style of foot you are wearing, but there is an unrigged, resizable anklet tucked inside the gift box, as well as versions for high and flat Belleza, Maitreya and Slink flat feet. All I had to do was add the jewelry to my avatar, and it fit my Slink flat foot perfectly with no adjusting necessary.

I hope you find the time to visit the SL14B Shopping event. There are so many bargains and wonderful gifts just awaiting discovery. It was busy, and I needed to devote time to explore, but came away so happy with the gifts I received and purchases I made. The event runs until June 26th. Until my next post, happy shopping!

Among the Wildflowers

Hello Fabulouses! Ripley and I decided to celebrate Second Life’s 14th birthday by visiting the Community Celebration, which runs through June 26th. At the shopping event, there are free gifts and exclusive offers from 60 designers, spread out across 3 regions. The pupster and I scooped up a couple of sweet gifts to share with you.

Life is Short – Buy the Dress…

especially if it is set for sale for zero lindens! This adorable Autumn Cami Dress is yours for free at the SL14B celebration. Simply swing by the Aphorism shop, and click the gift box at the front display. This sleeveless mini features a rich burgandy background sprinkled with a delicate floral pattern. Its slender fit and narrow piping will draw the eye to all the right places.

A Journey of a Thousand Miles…

begins with a fabulous pair of shoes. Over at the KC Couture booth, you can pick up the free, extremely versatile Hedy heels, which come complete with a HUD packed with 40 textures, plus 5 metal options. You can customize 6 parts of these shoes individually, or the entire shoe globally. With so many options, they will coordinate beautifully with just about any outfit in your SL wardrobe. Designed to fit Belleza, Eve, Maitreya, Mesh Project, and Slink High feet, these gorgeous heels are sure to become “go to” summer footwear for me.

These are just a couple of the many free gifts generous designers have set out for you at the birthday gala shopping event. With so many booths to visit, Ripley and I had better get a move on! We only have until June 26th, and don’t want to miss out on any of the fabulous deals. Until my next post, happy shopping!
