Pocket Full Of Sunshine

Pocket Full Of Sunshine

I remember when Meva had her hunt this past summer, and Allison blogged a version of this hat we could get in the hunt.  I loved it, and now I have a full fatpack thanks to Meva’s 90% off sale!

You gotta fly

I didn’t get a chance to shop the sale sooner, so I’m late getting this post out to you, but you have today and tomorrow to take advantage of Meva’s 90% off sale. I think she’s known mostly for her “Leather and Lace” type style, and her boots, oooooo her boots.  She has all kinds of things in her store though, clothes and accessories for male and female bodies, jewelry, and did I mention the boots? 😉

She’s also known for having a boho flair, which is right up my alley.  We’re having spring weather here IRL so I decided to get out of my winter gloom from yesterday and jump right into some spring color for this post.  I bought my whole outfit at Meva and I’ll list it below:

  • 54L Dress Fatpack (rigged for: Lara X/Petite X/Maitreya/Petite, Legacy/Perky, Reborn)
  • 42L Hat Fatpack (unrigged, resizeable)
  • 32L Earring Fatpack

I’ve been a member of the Meva group for a decade at least, and while she does lots of hunts and advent calendars and fun stuff, I’ve never seen her do a sale this big, don’t miss it!  The sale will last through January 16th (but I don’t know what time!)

Peace ☮️

Sky Turns Day Glo

Sky Turns Day Glo

So yesterday, I posted a blog post titled ‘Cocoa’ and was drinking no cocoa!  Today, I’ve got this gorgeous cup of cocoa to tell you about, and my title doesn’t mention it at all!  It might seem confusing, but when you click on the picture above it will take you to FLICKR where I list out the relevant lyrics and post the youtube of the song 😉

Vibes

My free sweater actually says “Hot Cocoa Vibes” but I think this whole setting is a vibe.  Just look at that gorgeous sky!  It went perfectly with all the winter pastel colors in my sweater and my cocoa.  I dig these vibes!

My sweater is one of the free prizes at the Belle Epoque 10th Anniversary hunt, and it was gifted by [Red Girl].   I really love the winter pastel palette, and the cozy fit of this sweater.  Aline told you all about the hunt HERE, but basically just go find all 19 birthday cakes at Belle Epoque, and it will come home with you!  It’s rigged for:

  • Lara X/Petite X
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Reborn

No group is needed to take part in the hunt and bring all 19 gifts home for free, and the hunt will be over at the end of the month.  What a way to celebrate 10 years on the grid!

I picked up this lovely cup of cocoa from FINCA last year, and never got the chance to blog it, but it was perfect for this sweater.  It was a group gift last year at the holidays and the group is still free to join.  It comes in winter pastel green, pink and grey.  It also has a fantastic drinking animation.  You’ll want this one for the season.

I almost forgot to mention my new glasses!  The Just Yaska store has moved and they’ve set out a pair of unisex glasses on the counter for free.  Both Sky and I have these glasses now and they look great on both of us.  There’s a metal hud in the package too.

Happiness Comes in Waves

Happiness Comes in Waves
Happy Sunday, Fabulous Readers!  Gus and I are popping in quickly to share a free gift and a discounted hairstyle with you.

Petal Power

This cute, shirred crop top is perfect for summer!  It features slender shoulder straps, a white and teal floral print, delicate ties in front, and lace trim.   It’s the free August gift for members of the Carol’s Store Group, which has a teensy 10L$ join fee.  It goes great with this white mini skirt, but I think it would also pair well with white shorts or pale teal jeans.  To scoop up a copy for yourself, teleport to Carol’s Store and tap the vendor.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Bombshell
  • Erika
  • Gen X Classic and Curvy
  • Kupra
  • Lara X and petite
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Momma
  • Nhuma
  • Perky
  • Reborn
  • Waifu

“Tail” Me About It

In my post here, I told you about a budget-friendly clearance sale going on at Elikatira.  I returned this morning to see if it is still going on, and happily, it is!  For just 25L$, I scored a fat pack of this Maeve hairstyle.  With a loosely braided fishtail design and stray wisps of hair framing your face and neck, this hairstyle has a relaxed, bohemian vibe.  The pack includes a versatile collection of colorways, so you’re bound to find one that suits you.  This is probably your last chance to add Maeve to your inventory because the hairs featured in this event are scheduled for retirement.  The sale ends August 18th.

Colorways Included:

  • Blondes
  • Brunettes
  • Dawn Colours
  • Essentials
  • Ravens
  • Redheads
  • Sunset Colours
  • Whites

A free group gift and a good-ole clearance sale sure brighten this girl’s day.  I have a feeling many of you are the same way.  🙂 Until our next post, happy shopping!

Daisy Days Ahead

Daisy Daisy
Hello Fabulous Readers!  Real life has had me running ragged lately.  It feels good to take a few peaceful moments at The Nest ~ Sunbird Featherwish sim to snap a photo and share our finds with our favorite readers.

Gus and I hit the trail of the Flowers Time Hunt 6 this week.  This event focuses on everything that grows in the sun and has 35 stops along the way.  Prizes cost a budget-friendly 3L$ each, and the hunt runs through May 31st.  My outfit today features two items from the hunt.

Gathering Daisies

My Antheia dress from Ari-Pari is perfectly summery.  It boasts wide shoulder straps, a sweetheart neckline, and a cheerful daisy print.  A solid-colored sash accents your waistline, and the generous, ruffle-trimmed hem allows for effortless movement.  The designer includes a HUD with five color options for the frock.  To pick up a copy for yourself, you must find the hunt object – a daisy flower – and pay the vendor 3L$.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • GenX Classic and Curvy
  • LaraX and Petite
  • Legacy Perky
  • Maitreya and Petite
  • Reborn and Waifu

In Full Bloom

I accessorized with another hunt prize – the pretty Petals Earrings from Meader/Me.  They tie the whole look together in a whimsical way.  Dainty daisy blossoms dangle from delicate shepherd hooks and mirror the floral theme of the dress.  (How’s that for alliteration?  Don’t try saying it five times fast!) Using the included HUD, you can select from eight colors for the petals, making them quite versatile.  Simply find the daisy hidden in the shop, pay the 3L$ fee, and they can be yours!

Until our next post, happy hunting!

Strawberry Blonde

Strawberry Blonde

Aren’t I just BERRY cute? 😀  I mean, maybe not, but this outfit sure is!  I found a reason to put on one of my silly hats, it’s so I can show off this free outfit!

Free-ish

Recently I’ve seen a lot of chatter in groups about offers for 1L not being ‘free’ and I get it, but in SL there’s a few reasons to put 1L on a gift.  If you charge 1L for something, it gives you the ability to buy it as a gift for someone in the vending systems.  Also, it will show in your vending history, in case there’s an update or you need a re-delivery.  In this case, the outfit is free for all members of the FurtaCor V.I.P. group, which costs 1L to join.  Putting even 1L on a group join saves a group from so much spam and scam.

This is the Sasha Strawberry set, and it’s a gift from Tastic.  Strawberries are probably my favorite fruit pattern, although I’ve been known to wear bananas on occasion.  Yep, it’s absolutely because I’m bananas too (I know what you were thinking!).  This set comes rigged for:

  • Gen X Classic/Gen X Curvy
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya 5.3
  • Reborn/Juicy

You simply need to join the FurtaCor V.I.P. for 1L (you can click the sign on the Tastic gift wall to get the link) and then bring this cutie home with you!

Now, stick a fork in me, and dip me in a fondue pot!  Wait, don’t do that, but I am craving chocolate 😉

Daisy Chain

Daisy Chain

We are working diligently to manifest Spring for everyone (although to be honest, I love when it’s cold here).  Hope this helps the rest of you 😉

Daisies are like tiny suns

I love when 2 things come together perfectly and that’s what I have today. Let’s start with the real daisy of this post, my new hairstyle. I won this hairstyle completely free on the Moon Midnight Mania board! I went crazy trying to get it locked, because it’s one of the only styles I don’t have, and it was on the MM board which I’d never seen, and I want to thank Aurora who kept posting it and all the Fabbies who went to hit it so we could all win it! This is the Oopsie Daisy hairstyle and I won it in the ombre hud. It comes in 4 sizes, with matching (but separate) daisies for the buns. Now, I have no idea when it will reappear on the Moon MM board, your best chance is to join the group for free, and stop in at the store daily to hit the board. It’ll return at some point! Also, if you walk into the back room at Moon, you’ll find this ‘Boopsie Daisy’ mouthie as a free gift in a box on the floor, you don’t even need a group to get it, just buy it for 0L.

While I’m talking about the daisies, I found these adorable daisy earrings on Marketplace completely free, by Halloways. They’re small and resize-able and have a full color hud for the center and the petals. Just what I needed to pull this look together.

Like a bee to pollen

I mentioned things coming together, and this was it. The other day, a new group gift dropped over at [ADD] and it’s this adorable yellow vest and t-shirt underneath. You can turn the shirt off if you like, or choose a color from the color hud for the shirt, buttons and laces. It’s bright and cheerful with a touch of warmth, seemingly made for early Spring. It comes in a gazillion sizes too:

  • Lara X/Petite X/Maitreya/Petite
  • Legacy/Perky/Bombshell
  • Reborn/Waifu
  • Gen X Classic/Curvy
  • Kupra
  • Peach

The [ADD] group is just 20L to join, and you may still be in it from advent season 😉 Stick around, they put out a new group gift for her group every month!

OK time for me to buzz on out of here and leave you to go get some gifts!

Peace ☮️

I’ve Got Nothing To Prove

I've Got Nothing To ProveIt’s the perfect day to pick a bouquet of daisies. I mean, not in my rl…my rl is rainy and cold and unpleasant. But in sl, yes!

Peaceful

My outfit is Havoc, but my vibe is quite the opposite. I knew immediately when I put it on that I’d need to traipse through a field of some sort and one of Luane’s was the natural option. This current free group gift showed up at Havoc very recently, so you should have time to get it before it’s replaced by some other fabulous thing. It is the top and shorts as separate pieces in this lovely blushy tone.

Sizes:

  • Hourglass
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Peach
  • Reborn Waifu

 

The group is free to join and the gift is free for group members. Easy peasy.

Coming Soon to Fab Free!

I felt like I just HAD to blog this ‘Sen-taur’ gift, because, well, it’s hard to top the frog legs from the Halloween Shop&Hop 😉   This ‘Sentaur’ has easily been one of the most talked about gifts at the Valentine’s Shop&Hop this year.  Let me also say, before I received this gift, I, like most other seasoned Second Life players, had never taken that Senra Jamie body out of my library, nor added it to my avatar, and once I did, I was happily surprised.  It’s a nice body!  I didn’t really play with it much, but it looked natural, it applied the skin I was wearing right onto it without any buttons to press, and there’s no neck seam between the body and my Lelutka head.  Who knew?

Giddy-Up!

Probably not the correct term for a Centaur, but it’ll do.  This awesome free gift comes courtesy of one of our favorite fantasy stores, JinxJinx has been the home to Centaur shopping and just about every other mystical creature you can think of.  They make incredibly cool and awesome things.  This gift ONLY works with the Senra body, if you try to wear it on another body it will poof on you (but still be in your inventory).  It comes with an AO to walk, sit or dance, and with a color hud that changes the fur color and wrap color. Now, there are not a lot of clothes available yet for the Senra body, but Second Life asked for creators to rig for it and provide some free gifts this round of the Shop&Hop and they have delivered.  You can also wear any BOM you have to cover your top half.

One more thing, this free gift is unisex.  It will work with both the Senra Blake and Jamie bodies.

That’s A Wrap!

I’m also wearing a great leather cord wrap necklace from Supernatural I got as a free gift at the Valentine’s Shop&Hop.  It comes with a large color hud, so you can wear it with just about anything in your inventory.  I like it especially because it’s a choker, but falls down and covers some of your neck and chest.  As always, no group is required to pick up the free gifts at the Shop&Hop, just visit and click!

As has become our habit now, FabFree has created a spreadsheet that will help you navigate the stores and the gifts at the Shop&Hop.  I always ask readers to bookmark the blog, and Aline even added a new widget to the top side bar for easy access to the spreadsheet for our readers.  If you need to access it quickly, just click HERE.
