Have you been to the Garage Fair yet? Aline showed off some of the free stuff from this event today too! I heard about it last week and the store list looked promising so I went over to check it out. It’s totally worth a visit! The set up is easy to navigate and there weren’t many people there so lag wasn’t an issue. Those are two of my favorite features in an event. Do you know what else makes it awesome? Free gifts! Most of the shops have a gift out. A lot of them are priced at 0L and 1L, and some are 10L. Today I’m showing you FOUR fabulous things you can pick up for a grand total of ONE L! The Garage Fair goes until June 9th so you’ve got plenty of time to go shop.
Wearing All Of The Gifts At Once
Well maybe not all of the gifts, but a lot of them! I’ll break it down for you, from top to bottom. It’s going to be a lot of words but well, it’s also a lot of free!
My hair is by Tameless Despina and comes in a pack of blondes with a color change headband. Super cute! Andsuper free.
This top comes with a pair of shorts too (which I’m obviously not wearing) and a HUD that provides lots of color options. Both the shorts and the top came in 5 standard sizes XS-XL as well as Belleza Venus, Maitreya, and Slink Physique. Oh and do I need to say that it was free? Because it was free. You can pick them up from Sweet Temptations.
My /AZ/ jeans are the only thing I paid for, and buy “paid for” I mean 1L. But you can never have too many pairs of great skinny jeans, am I right? They come in 5 standard sizes XXS-L and I was able to find a perfect fit.
I think my favorite part of the outfit is these super cute free shoes from Ahroun Designs. I love the look of sneakers on the high foot shape and these are just all around super cute kicks!
Phew. Did you get all that? I know I’m still new here but I’m sure you’re used to skimming me by now. hahahaha Here’s the important deets one last time…Garage Fair, free stuff, ends 6/9. Good? Good!

There’s nothing quite like working together to get a job done! And I had a picture frame to hang so… I called Glimmer over to see if she’d help me — plus I wanted to show her my new Christmas tree! I’m not really sure this was the kind of framing I had in mind… but we had fun anyway! 😀
By the way! That gorgeous 3-D mesh Christmas tree you see behind us? Is a totally FREEgift you can pick up if you hurry over to LeLutka right now. It’s their advent tree! Not only is LeLutka giving away gorgeous advent gifts each day, but they are giving away the tree too! Just join the LeLutka group FREEand click the tree itself for your FREEcopy!
So we didn’t quite get the picture hung on the wall, but Glimmer and I looked great anyway! I had found this amazing applier top (don’t worry it has system layers too) called the April Blouse (with lovely flexi sleeves and prim bottom) at the advent calendar at PurpleMoon Creations (Day 15). It is yours FREE with your 50L group join — plus all the other advent goodies at PurpleMoon as well!
Glimmer outdid me though, I think! Can you believe how that gold dress just shimmers! She found a real sweet deal at Sweet Temptations for you! Her Golden Nights cocktail dress is the current FREE gift at Sweet Temptations and the group is FREEto join as well, making it a completely FREEgift! Yay! She is also wearing a free holiday hat she found at SnowPaws that are FREEfor everyone — no group required! How cool is that!
I wanted to show you a couple more great offers before I went back to finish hanging that frame that never got hung! The hair you see me sporting in these pictures is from MINA and is currently one of two VIP gifts available to group members. This one is called Waylon and is actually the men’s gift, but it had such a cute little ‘flip’ to the edges that it took on a feminine feel when I put it on (sorry guys out there!). The female gift is equally pretty. Both gifts are yours FREE with you group tag. The group is 200L to join but you get 2 gifts per month, full fatpacks, so the fee is well worth your time.
My necklace is currently a FREEadvent gift at Chop Zuey (day 3) from the FREEside (no group required). This particular necklace called Snow Dance also came with earrings which I’m not wearing, and just has gorgeous details. The advent calendar at Chop Zuey is filling up with beautiful items… be sure to check it out!

Summer has passed into fall… but my last lucid dreams of summer have not yet quite faded. And thanks to the final days of the Women’s Stuff Hunt, you too can relive the final dreamer’s dreams of evening stars and soft flowers. With the hunting closing down on September 30th, though, you’ll want to hurry if you are going to find any gifts from your favorite stores.
I love the chance to pick up new poses — especially those with ‘ready made scenes’ such as this “Lucid Dream” scene by Come Soon Poses. It includes all the lovely props, the single pose for your avatar (as shown above), plus the pink heart balloons that are just flying away out of Astrid’s hands (which you can’t see in the picture). This is a completely FREEgift from Come Soon Poses as part of the Women’s Stuff Hunt and well worth the searching for the die hard photographer (and for the rest of us too)!
Speaking of FREEgifts… check out my spunky skirt and sexy slip-on tube top from Sweet Temptations called September Morning! This is the September Group Gift from their main store and you can pick it up FREEwith your Group tag until the end of the month. The group is FREEto join and there are only a few days left in September, so swing by and pick it up quick! The skirt is mesh and comes in all the standard sizes, while the top comes in system layers as well as a variety of applier huds for mesh bodies.
Astrid’s fantastic purse is perfect for any casual or fun occasion and has a hold animation that works great with your AO and any other pose. It’s another one you’ll need to run to hunt for before the end of the month as it is part of the Women’s Stuff Hunt and is the 1L Hunt Gift offering from Pixel Perfect Productions called Give a Hoot Purse. And it’s a hoot if I don’t say so myself!
I love trying on new skins and as I was doing my run through the Women’s Stuff Hunt, I found this ‘New-to-Me’ Skin store called LoveMe skins. Their Hunt Prize is this lovely skin in Sunkiss called Jessica. Once you find the little red shirt, the skin is yours for just 1L and includes a cleavage layer as well.
Now the Hunt gift does not include any appliers; however, there is a group gift up in the store as well. The group gift is FREEand the group is FREEto join and if you pick up the group gift it includes Slink hands and feet appliers (all skin tones included) so you’ll have those — very generous of the creator I think! That will give you two new skins plus the Slink appliers for your visit. You can also purchase any other additional appliers you may decide you need while at the store.
Last, but certainly not least, Astrid is sporting an elegant but every day set of jewelry that I think is a perfect transition from summer to fall — summery colors in a fall design! I love this Wine Autumn Leaves Jewelry Set by Cog & Fleur which is their Women’s Stuff Hunt Gift contribution and yours if you find the little red T-shirt for just 1L! Don’t miss out on the chance to add this dandy to your jewelry box!
***************
Here’s how you can transition dreamily from summer to fall…
Outfit – Sweet Temptations September Morning September Group Gift (0L Group Gift/0L to Join)
Jewelry – Cog & Fleur *C&F* Autumn Leaves Jewelry Set in Wine (1L Women’s Stuff Hunt Gift)
Shoes – R.icielli LEXIE High Heels for Slink Feet in Pink (21 color fatpack on Marketplace for 97 L$ – promo – Not sure how long this promo will last! If you want them, grab them fast!)
The Women’s Stuff Hunt is in Full Swing and with less than two weeks left to hit 150 participating stores, I’ve been hitting the grid like a potato-masher so I could mishmash some fall styles for your wardrobe (and mine!)… and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with these amazing finds!
My first stop on our Women’s Stuff Hunt tour will be Sweet Temptations where I found the outfit which I used as a “base” for the rest. (It is pictured above.) This sexy sort of safari feeling style called Azahara is fully mesh in all the standard sizes and includes an amazing set of gold mesh boots which are slink feet compatible (for high feet). The little red shirt was a breeze to find and FREE… and I was off and on my way to hunt again!
As you can see in the picture above, those boots from the Azahara outfit quickly became a staple in my wardrobe. My next stop, however, was U:Refined {U.R.} Fashion Designs where I picked up this sleek and versatile brown dress. The gift includes system layers as well as an omega applier and has a mesh panel to make the skirt blend for a flawless look. Well worth the 1L Women’s Stuff Hunt gift tag price!
I then dropped by Stars! where I was able to hunt for the great set of Fall Leaves Jewelry you see in the picture above. Another item that I am sure will become a wardrobe staple! Once I found the little red Women’s Stuff Hunt shirt, it too was a FREEHunt Gift and voila! Another mishmash fall outfit for you!
Pictured above, you’ll notice that Astrid is still sporting that fabulously sultry chocolate dress from U:Refined {U.R.} Fashion Designs (I told you we’d be mishmashing!) but I added a little flair to it with two other gifts.
If you take time to Hunt at OSITO, their Women’s Stuff Hunt gift is the fabulous Leather Rose Jacket pictured both above and below, which I found to be perfect for mixing and matching with many different styles of outfits. It’s mesh, comes in all the standard sizes, and was another FREEWomen’s Stuff Hunt gift!
If you are a collector of poses and enjoy photography, you’ll also want to take a glance at Pics n Poses before you finish your Hunting. Their Women’s Stuff Hunt Prize is also a FREEgift and is the pose featured above called “Glance” of course!
As you can see above, I am still donning that jacket from OSITO and the earrings from the Fall Leaves Jewelry Set from Stars!, but this time with another outfit.
If you head over to LOoLOo & Platypus you can pick up this Fall Flowers Set. The top comes in system layers as well as an omega applier (yay!). The skirt is mesh in all the standard sizes, and the outfit includes the mesh boots as well! All this for 1L? How can you go wrong!
I hope you have as much fun mishmashing and hunting as I did!
Hair – Truth Georgina w/Roots – Espresso + Hairbase
Eyes – IKON Triumph Eyes – Armor – (0L Group Gift/0L to Join/First Blogged HERE by Love Trill/not sure how much longer this group gift will be out, grab them fast if you haven’t already!)

Enjoy a nice walk in a rural environment, travel through the sim by bicycle or relax and take photos in truly picturesque scenes.”
Fabulistas…I have a quickie post for you. Remember my post showing you the free-for-all gacha for the Halloween headband group gifts from [free bird],and remember how the only headband I did not show was the rare tentacle one? Well, for a short time, as in, until 11:59pm slt tonight, if you are a [free bird] group member, there is a little hunt for a special mystery prize, which happens to be a pink version of that very tentacle headband I did not get! Shhhhh, it’s supposed to be a mystery, so let’s just keep this between us *wink wink*. The [free bird] group is still free to join, and the hint to find this prize is “Today I will be as happy as a bird with a french fry”. So run your little booties down there and grab it up, you don’t have much time!

So, these gothic-esque nails are not at the Summer Fashion Festival, but I had to show them to you anyways. The Koffin Nails Timeless SLink mani and pedi HUDs are only L$1 at the current round of The Thrift Shop. Black and silver are my 2 favourite colours for nail polish, and I love how this set combines the best of both worlds.
Finally, the lovely skin I am wearing is from Style by Kira. It is the Style by Kira – Ella Skin and is available at the Summer Fashion Festival 2014l for a steal, at only L$50. I’m a little tricky though, I am wearing eyebrows over the natural eyebrows this skin comes with, which are a lovely auburn shade. So all you red heads out there, rejoice!
Phew, 3 down, 1 to go! Just a reminder, this event runs until July 6, and unless otherwise noted, almost all of the gifts I’ve shown are L$1, with the odd freebie in the mix. I know, I should keep track of these things, but there were so many lovely things to grab, I only had eyes for the goodies, and not their prices. LOL. So, stay tuned for the final installment, I am going to get my butt in gear and get it to you asap! Until then, TTFN *waves*
