Vintage Me!

Hey gang!

I’m all about the vintage/retro stuff.  Those of us old enough (cough!) to remember those days know they had a feel.  The 70’s had a feel, the 80’s had a feel.  Somehow once the 90’s started, the era’s started blending together (for me at least), they didn’t have *such* a distinction as the earlier decades (I’m barely old enough to remember the 60’s, but I know that and the 50’s, 40’s, etc also had a feel of their own).

So in my pic, I’ve got a bit of the sixties *and* seventies (can you distinguish?), thanks to the Vintage Fair!  Which is a lot of fun by the way.

The Awesome Shirt

This is screaming 77-79 to me.  Back in the day I had these sorts of shirts with band names on them (The Police for one.)  This is made by The Annex at The Vintage Fair, there are several different designs for you to choose from and they will set you back only 50L.    It fits:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya

The Decor

The Stay Wild Moon Child Poster by InkMe is from a gacha that is only 50L at The Vintage Fair.  Not sure the era on that one but as you saw in my previous post, I love all things celestial, so …. gimme!

Woodstock poster behind me, sixties, natch.  1969 to be exact.  You can get that on market from What Next for only 50L

I’m not showcasing the other things but just to give you a rundown of the era….

Pants – very seventies, obv.

The chair to my left (was a gift from Aline!  Thank you!!!!) is very sixties and my favorite color, pink!

Lastly the floppy hat (I bet you aren’t surprised to hear I have one just like this in rl!) is very late sixties, early seventies.

Pretty Posies

Oh Hello Fab Free’rs! I’m feeling very girly today, princess-like even thanks to this pretty floral dress and matching shoes from NSP Florals. The gifts at NSP Florals have always been generous, so I was not at all surprised to see that the shoes came with this beautiful pink dress. I can’t help but imagine a romantic date on a warm summer evening dancing and laughing in this dress. I also love the added detail of the straps on the bodice.  The NSP Florals group has a one time join fee of 125 lindens. In addition to this June group gift, there are group only lucky letters, and you can purchase a few of the previous group gifts for just 5 lindens each.

Green Thumb

Hi there Fabulouses!  Yesterday, in Astrid’s Vintage? or New Age? Blog Post, she mentioned that there are free gifts at almost every vendor participating in The Vintage Fair and she wasn’t kidding about the amount!  There are tons to pick up – with no group join.  I found a couple  in the bunch that I wanted to show off to you today.

Your garden grows where you water it…

The sweet summer dress I am wearing today is called Janae and can be found as a free gift at the Belle Epoque display.  This dress comes in one fitmesh size that should fit most.  The fit and texturing are top notch and you’ll be glad you stopped in for it!

The other item I wanted to mention is this Watering pose by Nantra that was also free, and was found at their vendor display.  This pose is very natural and actually has sprinkling water coming out of the nozzle lol.  Truth be told, I am not very talented in the garden, but…  I can handle the watering.

**  Note:  Some of the gifts at this event are set for sale at 0L and some are set to deliver on touch.  If you are having trouble buying it, try touching it instead.

Tranquil Lavender

In Pru’s post [HERE], it would seem she was conjuring up her “inner fierceness”, while today –  I was seeking just the opposite in my search of silence, and tranquility.  I think I have found that sense of repose in my visit to The Summer Trace Sim.  While I  tiptoed through the warm  powdery sand, my new cotton frock blew freely in the salty sea air as the cooling ocean waves lapped gently at my feet.  I managed to collect a few fancy shells on the shore, and tucked them into my pocket. No idea what I will do with them… they were just pretty :).  If this isn’t serenity…  I don’t know what is.

The Cotton Frock

I was glad to have found this darling Edi Dress in Lavender by Belle Epoque as a free gift at The Vintage Fair as it was perfect for my Second Life outing today!  You can find this right at Belle Epoque’s display, priced at 0L with no need to join the group.  This dress is specifically designed for the Maitreya Lara mesh body, however it may work with others too.  Give it a try – it’s free afterall!

A Few Of The Vintage Fair 2012 Gifts

The other day I showed you some of the featured fashions and a gift from 1 Hundred at The Vintage Fair and I hadn’t had time to go through all of the HUGE fair yet, but I did finish it today and compiled a small blog with some of my favourite gifts of the giant selection of gifts available in the vendor shops at the fair.

The photo shown above displays the Swag Bag gift from Sn@tch that includes the vintage Maisy Bra & Underpants as well as a couple of make up layers.

DCNY is offering the adorable Cherry Bomb Set below that includes the mesh cherry tube top and matching cuffed capri pants.

Shabby Chic has a 10L deal at their display that includes the sexy blue satin lingerie set shown below.

Bella Tu has their classic floral printed Muffin Dress out as a free gift.

You will also find plenty of accessories and jewelry as free gifts such as the PurpleMoon Viola Earrings in Gold (left) and the !Rebel Hope Dripping in Diamonds Earrings (right).

The poses used in this post were also free.  At the Focus Poses location at the Vintage Fair you can pick up a 5pk of free poses for both men and women!

The Vintage Fair runs until the end of the month and you can find more information about it at the following link – http://www.chic-management.com/?page_id=1437

1 Hundred @ The Vintage Fair

1 Hundred is participating in The Vintage Fair and has some really ravishing fashions you should have a peek at – as always, under 100L per item!  Above I am wearing the Chic Dress which is a partial mesh product.  I am amazed by this dress for three reasons…  1.  No garage door skirt prim. 2.  No alphalayer 3.  Since it’s only partial mesh, it keeps my personal shape!  The Chic Dress is available in a few different colours and is 100L.

Below is the Vivid Dress in a fun vintage houndstooth print.  Again, this is mesh, available in a few colours and just 100L.

The mesh Vanity Corset shown below is available in four colours and is 100L.  I picked up the Dreams in Black Necklace and Ring for 125L at the Caroline’s Jewelry display at The Vintage Fair.

Some of the vendors participating in the Vintage Fair have sent out free gifts, dollarbies or cheapies such as 1 Hundred’s Spring Morning Top that you can pick up for 5L.  

The Vintage Fair runs until the end of the month and you can find more information about it at the following link – http://www.chic-management.com/?page_id=1437

 1 Hundred is also participating in The Vanity Fair which ends soon!  There you can find the Hawt Top, and mesh Tiny Mini… available in three colours each priced at 85L per peice.  At the Vanity Fair you can also pick up a dollarbie Tee on the floor 🙂  (not shown)
