Dressed for the Season

In my books, you can never have enough dresses.  I’m sure that if I lined up all my virtual dresses they would stretch at the very least from here to Europe.  I mean, it’s a bit of a mind boggling thing to think of how that would actually work, but nevertheless I’m sticking with my theory.

She’s so Vain

Keeping with the theme of events that are handing out gifts, Vanity is following suit in spectacular fashion.  Join the Vanity Group for free [HERE] and you’ll gain access to all the boxes by each display!  Now…here’s what I picked up!

Cheap Thrills

It probably is not a good idea to ask a witch if she can turn someone into a frog. She just might show you. It is however a good idea to ask me about the 12 linden gifts by Firelight and Nerdy Girl at the current round of Twe12ve. Most, if not all of the participating shops have a 12-linden item along with their event items and exclusives. I picked up the hair gift by Firelight and the clothing gift by Nerdy Girl. Keep reading for some info about each of these 12 linden finds, or scroll down for the credits. As for me, I’m gonna enjoy this frog!

Firelight

I really like this high ponytail hairstyle by Firelight. The long wispy bangs make me think of Bridget Bardot and that is never a bad thing. This hairstyle is the Firelight 12 linden gift at Twe12ve. It comes in 2 sizes and has a color change hud with the choice of either the dark brown shade shown, or a light brown shade. There’s no need to join a group to get this special price, just look for the little gift vendor at the Firelight stall at the Twe12ve event.

Nerdy Girl

The top by Nerdy Girl I’m wearing is also just 12 linden at Twe12ve. It comes in quite a few sizes, and has an alpha layer so it is suitable for classic non-mesh avatars. This cute baby-doll style top has a color/texture change hud with 6 solid color choices, and 6 prints. Again, there’s no need for any group, just pay the gift vendor 12 linden.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, TMP, Slink (Hourglass, Phsique), Belleza (Venus, Freya, Isis), Standard Mesh (xs – XL) + Alpha Layer

An Evening Walk

There is something sacred about the evening walk in the summer.  You should always make time for that wonderful pastime as the sun goes down, and if it’s in a scenic location and involves ice cream then all the better!

A Bit of Vanity

It’s the Vanity event’s anniversary!  And in spectacular fashion, they’ve got plenty of gifts to go around.  Join their group for FREE and get access to all the lovely gifties that are available at each stall.  Here’s what I’m showing you today!

• FREE outfit by Rosary sized for Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya
• FREE lipstick by Lisa Walker with appliers for Catwa, Genus and Lelutka heads

As a little disclaimer, I believe some of the group gifts are set to the wrong group at the moment, so be patient to get a few of them because I’m sure they’ll sort it out eventually!  These two I’m showing you though are set to the correct Vanity Event Group.

What will you find at Vanity?

Fade Into You

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that’s true

Do you ever get into these weird “I need to listen to music from high school” moments?  I’ve been falling down the 90’s alternative hole for the last few weeks and it’s bringing me back to the days when we wore flannel shirts, while sitting on the front steps of the school drinking Jolt Cola.  Luckily I’m not actually doing any of these things, just getting all maudlin and hanging out in my bedroom listening to Mazzy Star and Smashing Pumpkins.  At least I’m staying away from the flannel shirts for now!

A bit of Vanity

Ok, I’m done ranting.  Let’s get to the freebies!  I found this super cute loungewear set by Scandalize and Noir over at the Vanity event!  It comes in this sweet pink colour, either with the ombré I’ve got on, or just plain pink.  Cute right?  I got it by joining the Vanity group for free and clicking on the group gift vendor that’s hiding in the corner.

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya

Psycho Killer

There’s a new group gift at Psycho Barbie!  My cute leg tattoos come in three versions: super faded, slightly faded and dark and fresh.  I went for the middling version so you can get a fair idea of what they look like.  They come with an Omega applier.  I got mine by joining the Psycho Barbie group for 50 Lindens.  There are a few other group gifts there too to pick up while you’re at it!

I’d better stick some upbeat music on before it’s too late!

Hibernation

I am back to my cocoon of coziness here in SL!  January kinda brings out the need to hibernate in me.  I feel like I’m becoming a bear, but with less fur and slightly less bulky.   You know what, though… a bear would never fit into this adorable outfit!

Being Vain

I actually escaped my cocoon of comfort to head over to Vanity.  I’m pretty pleased that I did, because there’s a super cute new group gift by Scandalize for members of the Vanity group.  The tank top, shorts and long socks I’m wearing are so adorable I couldn’t pass them up.  They come with an extensive HUD to change the colour of all the details (like the laces, and pearls), as well as a version without the eyes on it.  So cute!  I got mine by joining the Vanity group for FREE and clicking on the vendor near the landing point.

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya

Stay cozy!

You’re a Gem!

One of the best things about Second Life is the fact that there are so many awesome places for you to take selfies.  And if you can’t find an awesome place, you make an awesome place.  That’s what I managed to do today with a few free gifts and a bit of creativity!

The Outfit

Before I get to my glittering surroundings, let me tell you about this cute outfit I grabbed over at the Vanity Event for free!  Scandalize is always generous with their gifts, and now that they’re running the Vanity Event, they haven’t slowed down one bit.  If you join the free group there, you will find this lovely little top and bottom combo in a truly appealing mint hue.  You can wear the top, bottom and sleeves all separately and there are two different options in the folder:  glitter (which of course I chose) and plain.  I love it!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya

The Gems

You can totally selfie it up with these giant gems from Melt!  I grabbed them for free over at The Gacha Life.  I joined their free group and clicked on all the little gift bags at the event, and lo and behold, one of them contained a whole bunch of pretty, colourful and glowing massive gems!  You can decorate your little world to your heart’s content.  Whee!

Shine on, my darlings!

Life’s been good to me so far

Happy Saturday, FabFree! I was wandering around The Darkness event recently and came across gifts! Isn’t that the best? There are 3 boxes set out in front of Adris King’s booth and each one is only 10L. I was distracted by all of the pretty tattoos around me (seriously, I might need a tattoo intervention) and just grabbed one as I walked by. I was pleasantly surprised when I unpacked it later.

This dress is really cute! I love the silver specks in the texture and it’s got these sexy cut outs on either side – I tried to give you a bit of a side angle so you could see what I’m talking about. It’s just a really great little black dress that I’m pleased to have added to my inventory. The sizes are:

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink
• 5 classic sizes, XL-XS
• 5 fitmesh sizes XL-XS

I totes need to go back and see what’s in the other two 10L boxes! And maybe buy a tattoo from one of the other shops while I’m there…
