An Admirable Sentiment

Oh look!  It’s a sentiment I can get behind today!  I am really not in the mood to be trifled with today, so I’m announcing to the world that they should most likely step back and not annoy me.  My bite is probably worse than my bark right now!

No But Seriously…

I’m actually fine though, I just liked pretending to be annoyed for a sec there!  While I was at Alaskametro the other day picking up some deeply discounted makeup, I managed to win a little somethin’ somethin’ on their lucky chairs!  There are 4 chairs scattered about the store, each of them holding a bunch of different items that are fun for mixing and matching.  This cute off the shoulder top suits me just fine, and to get it all I had to do was join their group for 50L.

Sizes

• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Physique

A Bit of Lip

My shiny, glossy lips are courtesy of Livia!  They have a new gift out for the SLFO group, which is free to join.  Join the group, pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you and then you’ll get a lovely set of new lip gloss which comes with appliers for Omega, Genus and System/BOM layers for Genus heads.

I apologize for my unwarranted rant, dear readers! 😉

Peaches & Cream

Hey There Fab Free’rs! Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I’ve got a quick little post for today. This cute little romper by 1 Hundred is their free SLF&O hunt prize. The moment I put it on, it had me daydreaming of summer. It comes sized to fit Maitreya Lara, all 3 Belleza bodies, and both of the Slink bodies. To get your free copy of this peach “weekend romper” just head over to 1 Hundred and find the fall leaf.

It comes in appliers for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, and TMP bodies, as well as Omega appliers. Each applier has 4 choices of opacity as well. The Carol G group has a one time join fee of 150 linden.

Cool old 80’s music aside, the rain can come down anytime now ’cause I have this elegant free trench coat to pull on.  This is the ‘Mira Trench Coat Outfit’ from Hilly Haalan. And it’s some much more than just a pretty coat. You get this stunning coat with a HUD for four color choices, the snazzy boots AND the cute hair in three colors! Now that’s a complete outfit.

Work the Face

Yes, it’s chilly out.  The wind doth rattle the windows, but I’m in need of heating things up a bit! It’s always hot somewhere in SL, and I think that it will be hot wherever YOU are in this amazing bikini!

Red Hot

This super hot bikini is a free find on the SL Frees and Offers hunt that’s taking place right now.  You’ve probably seen all the goodies we’ve been picking up on the hunt, and it is definitely worth checking out!  My bikini is from Vision, and is completely free, just look for the maple leaf hiding in the store! The belly chain is also included which is a cool addition. Isn’t it nice?  I think so!

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Venus

Face Off

I often get comments on my facial expressions in my photos, or even when I’m hanging about SL.  If you’ve got a Lelutka head like I do, and are looking to pad out your HUD with more facial expressions, you can swing by the main store and head over to the animation section.  There on the table, you’ll find two gifts – one that contains some photo facial expressions (that I’m showing you in my pic below) and two different “moods” that are a series of expressions that will play naturally on your face (one is called Monroe and is quite flirty!).  Head on over to Lelutka to pick them up – no need to join the group, they’re completely free!

Have fun taking pics!

Aline and the Holograms

I’m sorry…did someone say HOLOGRAPHIC?  Because I am all about anything that shimmers, shines and even bears a passing resemblance to the love of my life in the 80’s – Jem and the Holograms.  You heard me, I’m all about the big hair, the massive earrings and anyone whose name is Jerrica.  That’s like Jessica, but with R’s!  Come on now, how can you say no to that?  Ok fine, maybe it needs a little toning down, but….really, only just a little!

A Hunting We Will Go!

Have you heard the buzz around the SL Frees and Offers 1st Annual hunt?  It’s big folks, and there are lots of fab designers participating, and loads of prizes to get your mitts on!  I’m showing off the really awesome holographic sweater by Caboodle (purveyors of all things shiny).  Just head on over to their store, and look around for the fall leaf that is hiding somewhere in the store.  The sweater inside is completely free, has three different colour options, and comes sized for Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya bodies.

While on the hunt, I also came across these fantastic shoes by Ch’s (also completely FREE!).  I love the buttons up the side.  Very military-inspired and completely and utterly adorable.  I love them.  There’s an HUD included with a boatload of colour options, and they come sized for Maitreya, Slink and Belleza feet.  Good luck!

Ain’t That the Truth

Here comes the next offering from Truth!  This month’s group gift is a really lovely and undone braid called Ciara.  Very sweet and soft.  If braids aren’t your thing, the stylist HUD has the option of turning it into a messy bun.  I do love a good stylist HUD!  As always, the Truth VIP hairstyle comes with a whole fatpack of colours.  If you haven’t joined yet, it’s 350 L, which is extremely reasonable, and SUCH a good deal.  Join the group and check in notices to pick up your own copy!

Until next time!

Making Holiday Plans

I’ll be home for Christmas, You can count on me…

I am pretty excited this year that I get to be home for Christmas.  Sure, it’s a little more work to host the holidays instead of attend them, but you know what?  The holidays are exhausting no matter where they are and at least I get to sleep in my own bed!  I’m sure I’ll be kicking myself later when I’m up at the crack of dawn, slaving over the stove and have wrapping ribbons stuck in my hair, but for now it seems like a nice idea!  There will be snow, and mistletoe and presents on the tree!

You know who has a present for us?

Poeme has a lovely free gift out for the SLF&O inworld group right now that you can pick up with a free group join.  The Navaho Turquoise Argyle Sweater Dress you see me wearing is the gift you can snag and it comes in XXS – L mesh sizes plus an alpha layer if you need it.  I am wearing the Maitreya Lara body, and using the alpha hud was able to hide all the bits I needed to easy enough 🙂

ENJOY!

Shopping Tips for the Modern Male

It’s a dirty job…

This time of year, it’s unavoidable. No matter how much of your Christmas shopping you accomplish online, there are just some things you have to go to the traditional brick and mortar stores to find. I’ve discovered a few tricks to make those times when you have to venture out a little less scary.

1. Weekends are a no go…  We may have time away from our jobs on the weekends, but hitting the stores during them is a big NO, unless of course you like crowds, long lines and getting backed into by careless drivers of electric carts. If you must venture out on the weekend, go early, VERY early to avoid the crowds.
2. Weekdays, a big yes… If you do have a day off during the week (holidays excluded), this is a a time when you can actually browse the merch and not get bruised and battered.
3. Late evenings… Hit the shops an hour or so before closing. The later you go, the less people you will have to fight to get to the things you want.

Hopefully, these tips will spare you unwanted grief and unexpected trips to the emergency room.

Shopping in comfort…

That’s the most important thing, really. Wear comfortable clothing. The more comfortable you feel, the more relaxed you’ll be, even in the most harrowing of situations like when a child spills a slushie down your leg… Yes, it has happened…. My outfit today is both stylish and comfortable. I found the Male Shirt Jacket at AmAzINg CrEaTiOnS as a FREE gift to members of the Third Life Group. The shirt jacket comes in 3 fitmesh sizes and standard sizes S-L and with and without the shirt underneath. The Third Life group has a one time 10L join fee. I picked up the Wasted” Skinny Jeans on one of the many group Lucky Boards at REBELLION. The jeans come with a texture HUD for four different denim colors. You need to be part of the Rebellion group to play, but joining is FREE. And I’m still wearing my new favorite, the Wagner Flat Cap, the FREE SLF&O group gift at Fe Style.

Don’t let the holiday shopping blues get you down…

Holiday Road

It’s that time of year…

Grab the hack saw and load up the Family Truckster because it’s time to go pick out a Christmas tree. I’ve never had as much bad luck as Clark Griswold, but there have been a few times…  Anyhow, at least there is a coffee stand here to warm me up before the hunt begins.

Accessorize for the season…

It’s time to get out the hats and scarves as the temperature drops. I was lucky to come across both items for FREE! The Wagner Flat Cap is a SLF&O Group gift at Fe Style. Just wear your SFL&O group tag to pick up the gift. Not a member? Just join the SFL&O group for FREE. I also picked up the Ki-Co Cozy Orange Scarf, a FREE group gift at ::K::. Now I’m warm and toasty.

Impulse buys…

Don’t you just hate when you’re checking out at the store and there are all these items lined up to get a few more dollars out of you. It happened to me at Fe Style when I was picking up the cap. I found the Barho Long Sleeve Shirt on the counter by the cash register for just 10L.
