Scorcher

It is positively scorching today!  The sun beats down from on high with very little concern for us mere mortals who walk upon the earth.  I needed to get out and do some much-needed shopping therapy anyway, so there’s no way to beat the heat quite like just looking cool.  Hey, it’s a legitimate strategy! (I have a lot of nonsensical cooling strategies, don’t I?).

Gardening Time

It’s time for the latest round of The Gacha Garden!  As always, there are plenty of Gachas to tempt you, but if that’s not your thing then there are also loads of free gifts!  Just join the Gimme Gacha group (there’s a poster at the landing spot to help you out) and then click on all the gift boxes.  Here’s what I picked up:

• FREE dress by Art & KO sized for Maitreya and Legacy
• FREE Hair by Ayashi with an HUD in several pastel hues, as well as a tint picker (the bow is also removable!)
• FREE Lipstick by Stunner Originals in lots of different shades with appliers for Catwa, Genus and Omega

You’ll never know what will tickle your fancy in this massive haul, so visit the Gacha Garden today!

Feeling Brave

I do love putting together outfits with items from all over.  Sometimes when I need some inspiration, I need look no further than our own Fab Free group gift listing.  We have some really fun items in there, and I love shopping around for the perfect look.  I wish shopping for clothes was this easy in RL!

Stop 1

My first stop for this outfit was Coveted!  They have a whole outfit for you as a Fab Free group gift that includes shorts, a top, shoes and a hat!  I chose the top for it’s awesome texture that looks so pretty close up.  It comes in sizes XS – XL with an alpha layer.  There’s even an ethereal type of ribbon on the back that just really called to me.  Best of all, it’s all free!  Just wear your Fab Free group tag and click on the vendor that’s on the front of the desk in the shop!

Stop 2

There’s nothing quite like a good pair of short shorts for the summer.  I’m not really as adventurous as my SL-self with white shorts in RL, (hello…what if I sit in some errant ketchup!) but I totally wish I was!  This cute pair is the Fab Free group gift at ALB, and they are also (of course) completely free.  Fantastic!

I have no fear of ice cream landing on my outfit in SL!  I’m living the dream!

Beautiful Dreamer

“All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream.” ~Edgar Allan Poe

I’m fairly fickle on the ideas of dreams and their meaning, though I admittedly spend a decent amount of time daydreaming and often have vivid dreams when I sleep. I suppose in a way we all get to live a dream we create here in Second Life. So here’s to all the dreamers out there, I hope only the good dreams come true. For now, I can help with some dreamy free and inexpensive finds!

CryBunBun

Only in Second Life would I dream of being this cute in a leather and lace bra and panty set. Leather does not generally scream “delicate underthings” to me, but it sure does look gorgeous. The set I have on is a free gift at CryBunBun aptly named “Mercy.” It comes in this “moon” black version shown, and a “sun” white. No group is needed for this cute freebie. It may however only be available for a limited time!

Sizes Included: Signature Alice, Maitreya Lara, Maitreya Lara Petite, MeshBody Legacy, MeshBody Legacy Perky

Supernatural 

To go with my afore mentioned delicate underthings, I picked up an equally gorgeous necklace set at Supernatural. It was news to me that they have an entire wall of 75 linden fatpacks. The packs are mostly jewelry, however there are some accessories as well. I am wearing part of the Heidi set. This particular set comes in gold and silver, each with several jewel color choices. The sets have 3 necklaces that can be worn together. What I have on are 2 of the 3 in the silver and black set. I took a snap of the wall of 75 linden goodness at Supernatural. There’s so much to choose from, you’re bound to find something you like.

Mister Razzor

Finally, if you’re on the hunt for new ink, which I always am, Mister Razzor has three female tattoos for just 40 linden each. The tattoo I am wearing is a full body tattoo called “Bella.” This tattoo comes in Omega appliers and BOM/Classic System Layers. The BOM layers, and appliers give the option of full or 75% opacity. No group is needed for the 40 linden price.

Appliers/Layers Included: Omega, BOM/Classic Layers

Think Pink

I think one of the constants in my life has certainly been the colour pink.  It has made it’s way through all the important places – from beadspreads and pink walls when I was young, to pink journals and pens in my teens, down to extremely cute dresses today!  This dress has everything I ever wanted all in one place!

Grumble About It

The Kink in Pink Hunt is in full swing right now, and Grumble are taking part, along with a whole bunch of other stores.  Now I must warn you, the Kink in Pink Hunt is quite adult, and you’ll find lots of adult offerings on the “A Town Called Short Leash” sim.  I hunted high and low for the little hearts in the sim, and found this one from Grumble that contains a quite sexy dress.  I was so excited about the shininess and the fact that there are 15 different textures to choose from in the HUD ranging from this one (that makes me think of sticker collections) to unicorns, bows and a few different plain pink hues.  To grab it, just hunt for the heart and then buy for 25L.  There are lots of things to hunt for on the Kink in Pink Hunt, so make sure you check out their website for all the hunt keys (keeping in mind some of them are *quite* adult).

Give the Green Light

A few more days until all things magically turn green.  You know, that time of the year when you hope that all the snow will melt, only to give way to rolling fields filled with grass, flowers and capering unicorns.  Well, at least that’s what we dream about in the frozen North where I live!

Feeling Lucky

Leigh has a cute little hunt going on at their store right now to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!  The Lucky Glam Hunt is a fun and easy little hunt where you’ll find items priced at just 10L each, as well as some free finds too!  I picked up the Promise Dress for just 10L, as well as these pretty green roses which were completely free!  Good fun!

Shout it from the Rooftops

Happy Saturday Fab Free!  It’s the perfect day to be just a little crazy and a lot cute.  I feel like shouting nonsensical things from rooftops today, and I’m not quite sure what that’s about.  No complaints from me though!

So Sassy

There’s a new group gift at Sass!  If you join their group for 10L , you’ll get access to this super cute hot pink t-shirt that is right up my alley.  To get it, just pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  Sass is always generous with their group gifts, and you get a new cute item monthly!

Sizes

• Freya
• Maitreya
• Hourglass

More Hair?  Sure!

Shop & Hop is still going on right now, and if you haven’t made it yet, you should probably hurry up to pick up all the free gifts.  At the Elikatira display, I grabbed this adorable hair that comes in a full fatpack of colours.  And you guessed it, it’s free!  Hurry on over to Shop & Hop before it’s all done!

So Supernatural

To finish off my look, I certainly needed some fun accessories – I was hunting for just the right earrings!  Luckily, Supernatural were happy to help with their free gift that they’ve got out at Belle.  As I mentioned yesterday, there are plenty of goodies over at Belle and all you need to do to grab them is join their free group.

Come shout about it all with me!

Oh Paris- the City of Love!

Happy day-before-Valentine’s Day, Fab Free!

Today, my post is inspired by the one place on earth where it is the season of love and romance all year- Paris! I put together this Parisian look by combining some of the free gifts I collected at the Valentine’s Shop and Hop! You can go there, collect the goodies and walk out looking like you stepped out of France! I may look like a Parisian now, but the only French thing about me is my love of baguette and brie cheese. Aside from that, however, these items are super cute and they are perfect for Valentine’s Day!

The Free Hair and Beret

Perhaps what tops off this outfit is the Beret Accessory included in this free hair which you can get at Vanity Hair’s booth at the Shop & Hop. The hair is called “Winter is Coming” and it includes a colour change HUD and a tinting HUD which allows you to change the hair and the hat to any colour. You can find the Vanity Hair booth in the Tinseled sim.

A Cute Set from Pixicat

The top and shorts I am wearing is the lovely gift from Pixicat- called “soft set” in red stripes. It’s sort of artsy and I feel like it matches the hair super well! Get the free gift from Pixicat at the Aurelian sim of the Shop and Hop.

Sizes Included: Belleza Freya, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass & Physique

A Pearl and Heart Crystal Necklace

What says love and romance more than pearls and crystal hearts? This gift from Supernatural, the “Kyary Necklace” will be the best gift to yourself for this Valentine’s! The necklace can be found in the Tinseled sim of the Shop and Hop.

Have a fun Valentine’s Day, Fab Free!

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond

What could be better than a hint of iridescence on a Tuesday afternoon?  Not much, in my opinion!

Halloween Club Kid

This Halloween club kid is delightfully stretching in front of a bin full of oversized glowsticks.  Because, obviously that’s what one does this time of year, right?  Well, that’s what I do!

Supernatural

My cute little Halloween romper with the daring cutouts is the latest group gift over at Supernatural.  I joined their group for free, and then this little baby was all mine!  It’s got a bit of a iridescent quality to it, and I think if you can’t wear a crazy themed outfit at this time of year, then when can you!

My striking eyeshadow is a limited time free gift from Zibska.  No need to join a group, just head over to their store, and at the landing point you’ll find this lovely colourful look, that comes with an HUD filled with loads of colours.  It comes with appliers for Genus, Catwa, LAQ, Lelutka, Omega as well as Tattoo layers!  Fun for everyone!

The Perennial Maximalist

Everyone always talks about simplicity.  I am a proponent of this on certain days, to be sure,  however sometimes what one needs to be is a maximalist.   There’s nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with your favourite things.  I like a good overflowing collection of pretty baubles, or being surrounded by all the glitter and gorgeousness I can muster.   You know, like a deep pile rug and vases full of marabou feathers and just one more lip gloss.  The aging, weathered glamour calls out to me sometimes, or perhaps it’s just a little pvc skirt and a new hairstyle!

Smug as Can Be

Mug has a new group gift out!  This extremely mini PVC skirt is slightly insane in all the right ways.  You can make it into the perfect weird outfit with just a bit of imagination.  You’ll most probably need a little layer underneath though if you’re planning on not shocking the neighbours.  To get your own little skirt, just join the Mug group for 250L and head on over to the shop and click on the vendor.  There are a bunch of other gifts there while you’re at it!

Sizes

• Maitreya
• Belleza
• Sking

Nothing But the Truth

Time for a new VIP gift from Truth!  Horizon is a long messy ponytail with several different bang options.  You can add or remove the bobby pins too to make this look all your own.  And as always with Truth VIP hairstyles, it’s a full fatpack of colours!  You can get yours by joining the Truth VIP group for 350L and then taking a peek in group notices for your copy!

Here’s to maximalism!
