Have you tried out the Second Life Frees and Offers 1rst Annual Hunt yet? I’ve been going through the loot and I am seriously impressed! The quality of the prizes is really awesome. So a big “Thank You” shout out to all the Designers who put out their best!
Here Comes the Rain
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.

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 freefind 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!

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!
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!

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!

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.
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.
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.
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 FREESLF&O group gift at Fe Style.
Don’t let the holiday shopping blues get you down…

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.

Yeah, I’m still sitting here drinking my coffee. To be honest, I was completely unable to adult today. Sure, I had tons of stuff to do, but I didn’t get any of it done. I’ll be sorry tomorrow.
But for now, I just gonna sit here quietly and enjoy my coffee.
Coffee and Comfort
I knew I wouldn’t be getting anything done today soon as I put on this cozy outfit. The Parka Dress is the latest group gift from S@BBiA, and it comes in a one-size-fits-all mesh with an alpha layer. I love not having to make decisions – like what size to wear – early in the morning.
To keep my feet toasty, I added the Baby It’s Cold Outside boots from Entice. You can pick up a pair for free by joining the SL Frees & Offers in-world group. The boots come in rigged and unrigged versions with an alpha layer so they should fit just about everyone.
Ok, I guess it’s time to pack it up and go inside. In the immortal words of Scarlett O’Hara, “After all, tomorrow is another day.” 🙂
Well hi there Fabulous Readers 🙂 Just popping by to let you know that when you activate your free SLF&O group tag at Albino Peacock you can pick up a free group giftthat includes two ladies fashion gifts!

Monomania is an excellent store to visit if you are looking for a bargain… or fabulous free things! I stopped in over the weekend and picked up the gorgeous Tropicalia Dress as shown on my avatar as a free SLF&O group gift. The SLF&O group is free to join, so this dress was 100% free.
Go To Hawaii
The Tropicalia Dress is a breezy long maxi dress with an all over striped floral print that screams:
