Off to Hogwarts!

Good day my lovely witches and wizards! Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE all things Harry Potter? I have been a Potter-maniac since I grew up with the series as a child and this week I was able to collect a few free and on-sale goodies in SL that are HP-inspired! What a treat!

Goodies from Muggleborn

At least one store in SL that is partially inspired by the Harry Potter series is Muggleborn, although it certainly takes an adult twist on the theme. Note that Muggleborn is an Adult-rated sim and if you are not over 18 you definitely cannot visit it; there are a number of adult-only themed items sold here. Aside from that warning, however, I absolutely LOVE this store! They even have this AMAZING top, shorts and ties set on their lucky boards to play for all to win. It includes a top, shorts and a tie. There are different styling/ stripping options for the top and tie, and the shorts can be adjusted for male/trans avatars as well. The tie also has different styling options. Each item comes with an HUD to change the colour pattern to the respective four Hogwarts houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff). To get these items, walk towards the back of the store until you see the “muggle” lucky boards and join Muggleborn‘s free group to play and win this amazing outfit!

In addition to these amazing gifts, Muggleborn has many fantasy-themed free group gifts and free past hunt items which you can get at the front of the store. This is also a brand new Stay at Home Club gift from them, which is a wand with a colour hud! This one may take the cake from me because now I can run around SL with a wand whenever I like with this free gift!!! I am so psyched about this!

Wisteria is Perfect…

This hair is perfect for visiting Hogsmeade, or for bundling up in the winter (even if it is spring now… it’s still snowing where I come from). The hair seen in this look above is Wisteria from EscalteD. This is a past MM board prize, and you can also win it on their Lucky Boards if you join their VIP group for 99L. This hair is a full fatpack of natural and unnatural colours which allow you to change the hair to different styles, change the colour of the hat and the pom pom and the hair bows on each braided ponytail. If you have no attention span for that, every hair at EscalteD is currently on sale for 50% as part of the Let’s Stay at Home event, so anyone can buy it right now at a discounted price.

Ritual Skins Sale- A Harry Potter Skins Collection

I should also mention that these gorgeous skins I am wearing are from Ritual. They currently have a massive sale on, where all of their skins are on sale for 100L. This is an amazing deal, and although not under our 75L limit, it is a steal I thought I should mention with this post. These skins normally go for hundreds and they are just gorgeous. These are four Harry Potter-themed skins which were previously sold at the Majik event sponsored by Muggleborn. Seen in order, this is Griffin, Slyther, Raven and Huffle. The skins include two tones each and the makeup is included in the skins; they can’t be removed. These are beautiful, so I just had to mention them! The Ritual store may be downsizing, so now is the time to support this amazing skins creator.

Have a magical day, Fab Free!

Paisley Day

Time to fill out your inventory.

The Menstuff Hunt runs through November, and promises, as usual, to fill our manly inventories with lots of essential goodies. My first stop was Brocade Tiger, where I picked up this shirt and tie combo that I admit, won me over immediately. I like the unique Paisley design and was especially happy when I noted on the hunt website that it is an exclusive gift for the hunt. The gift is FREE, meaning it will only cost you a bit of hunting time. Once you find that iconic blue t-shirt, just buy the item for 0L.

The tie is an optional affair.

Put a tie on. Or don’t. Versatility is always nice when it comes to clothing options. And when you can find a quality gift that gives you that extra “oomf” in the versatility department, you know you’ve come across a winner. I especially love items that are unique. This gift from Brocade Tiger comes in all the standard sizes and includes its own alpha. In addition, the shirt and tie are separate, so the tie is optional. The shirt has a nicely detailed button down front, so it looks just as good without the mesh tie as it does with it. I think you’ll agree that this is a gift worthy of your Second Life closet.

Quickie: Cassiopeia Isle again! LVS & Co – Passionate Neko

I´m afraid you have to tp over to Cassiopeia Isle again, sorry 🙂 There are new dollarbies out, but hurry!

Ravenlynn Templar (LVS & Co, Cassiopeia Isle 189, 28, 22) offers now a gorgeous dollarbie in many bright colors: Lovers Summer comes with pants, skirt, top, prim ruffles and matching bangles. Each color is 1 Linden. You can mix and match it … uhm, if you buy all like I did *grin* I couldn´t resist, it´s so well done and the colors are so wonderful. I want this outfit in RL too!

Inside LVS store you will find the cute dollarbie Bahama Baby. It also comes in 5 (or 6 ?) different colors.

Further Passionate Neko, Cassiopeia Isle 135, 69, 22 offers a bunch of dollarbies, too (inside and outside the store). I grabbed the funny Island Boxers blue, a pretty, red dress called Summer Fun and Sweet-N-Saur (comes with tie, stockings, belts and so on).

How to be lucky when SH*T HAPPENS

All you need is a quickie TP to SH*T HAPPENS sale area! I don´t know how long the sale items will be there so you better go now.

I`ve grabbed one of the freebie boxes (Freebie Clothing) with tons of awesome stuff into it. It´s too much to show it all, sorry. You will get Polka Dot Dress, Strawberry Mint Dress, a pair of jeans, t-shirts, Lemon Lime Dress, Grape Lemonaide Dress, Fruit Punch Dress, Chocolat and Mustard Dress, Berries and Cream Dress, several Polka Dot Shirts as an extra ……. wow, great items to mix and match!

There are more freebies boxes with overlayers, bangles, tattos, eyes … check them out!

Another cute “mix and match thing” is the Suspender Tops pack. For 1 Linden you will get them in chocolate, lime green, midnight blue, off white, purple, sherbert, tan, strawberry pink, tealy blue, twizzler and yellow and a white ripped shirt on 2 layers for wearing underneath the suspender tops.

Next dollarbie I decided to make my own was the fresh colored and funny Punky Outfit. It comes with pants, top, tie and skirt.

Oooh, and the sweet jeans in dark fade (also 1 Linden, available in light fade too) with 3 options to wear: short, long or capris with cuffs.

More 1 Linden items are pictured on the wall (tintable argyle stockings, tees, tanks and so on).

And there are so many outfits (tons of dresses!, stockings, jackets …..) for just 5 or 10 or 20 Linden, you have to see it all. I couldn´t resist to buy one of the outfits (is it a male outfit? I think it´s unisex) because it´s so cute and quite my style. It´s called Mafia Pimp (20 Linden) and comes with pants, shirt, vest and hat.
