Lightheaded

There are a bunch of goodies out today: new fri.day, plus a bunch of freebies and generous group gifts! :D



Outfit - fri. - Paradiso.Romper (Red) - $180L
Hair - fri. - Anna - Sensitive Black - $250L

How much do you love the new fri.day hair? I mean seriously, soon as the word went out, bitches started squealing. And with good reason! They're freaking adorable! Three of the four hairs are shown in the pics here today. The fourth one is a slight modification on the Scarlett hair in the bottom pic. All of them, fabulous! But it's not just hair they've got on offer this week - there's a super cute little strapless jumper. It even comes with an assortment of the new belt release, in three neutral colors and a variety of sizes!



Bikini - Ibizarre - Beachwear - Allie Bikini - FREE
Skin - []::Tuli::[] Eva :: gem (tone 5/br) - FREE (Group Gift)
Hair - fri. Adriana - Sensitive Black - $250L
Necklace - Pussycat Charm Necklace - By Fussy - FREE

There are some truly generous group gifts out this weekend, too. Tuli's long anticipated return to SL and redesigned sim were celebrated with the release of a new skin line, plus a super generous fatpack of skins! Each skin tone even comes with a cleavage version (shown above). I kinda love how much it alters my avatar's face, without needing to fiddle with the actual shape. It's $250L to join the Tuli group, but it's worth so much more! Coco set out a great group gift too, this last week - the black lace ruffle mini skirt (shown below). This is another designer who's not shy about giving away the awesome. Join the in-world group for free, and then click the panel with the gift in the shop.



Skirt - *COCO*_Gift_RuffleSkirt(Lace-Black) - FREE (Group Gift)
Hair - fri. - Scarlett - Sensitive Black - $250L
Bracelet - [MANDALA] Summer Pink Bangle - FREE
All Poses - Striking Poses - $25L each

There are a ton of fabulous free gifts down at the Palamos Island Mall. Some of the biggest names in SL fashion have satellite shops there, and about half of all the shops have at least one gift bag set out for $0L. I found that cute little retro-inspired bikini from Ibizarre, the necklace from Fussy & the bracelets from Mandala.

All of the poses used today are from Striking Poses. As I mentioned last time, this shop is closing - probably for good - and all of these poses will disappear forever and ever. All individual poses are just $25L. Today might be the final day, so do not miss out!

Just Because

Quick, before I collapse!



Left - !Ohmai [Silhouettes] Asymmetry Bodysuit - $1L
Center - *League* Matching Multi-Stripe Gloves & Skirt - FREE
Right - Pig - Long Island Deep Teal - FREE (I Heart the Starlust Gift)
All:
Skin - :: DUTCH TOUCH :: ::CleO:: Cream - PUNk2 - $500L
Eyes - Poetic Colors - Aurora Eyes - FREE
Poses - Striking Poses (Various Prices)

Okay - first off, you've probably picked this up already, but in case you haven't, the assymetrical bodysuit is the new in-store gift from the new Ohmai shop on Starlust. It's only $1L and, as you can see, pretty darn versatile. I layered it here under the gift from League. The skirt and gloves set are available both through the Subscribe-o-Matic and in store, and it's an apology for missing out on $50L Friday this week. Not sure how long it will be available, so be sure to get it while you can. That bodysuit looks pretty slammin' with the latest gift from Pig, too. You can find this in the I Heart the Starlust Group notices. I love this sweater so much, I want it in RL. It's my new favorite thing.

All of the pics in this post feature another one of those incredible sale skins from Dutch Touch. Everytime I wear one, I want to go back and buy more. If you can spot them, my avatar is also sporting the latest in-store gift set of eyes from Poetic Colors. They're a stunning deep blue & come with optional lightening prims. All of the poses used today come from Striking Poses. This shop also sent out a group gift today - a set of 3 new poses (not pictured). You can find the set still available in the Subscribe-o-Matic group History.

I Hear a Symphony

It's been a great week for little black dresses. ;D

This dress is the latest gift from Sugarcube, to celebrate the opening of her new shop at Hodgepodge. There are tons of other generous gifts available around the sim. Just have a look at all the shops. The pose, from Striking Poses, I picked up at the 50% off sim-wide sale going on Harlow. Loads more great deals to be discovered there.

The skin is part of the latest group gift from Tuli. Activate your group tag, head down to the mainstore & click the mushroom to get a massive fatpack of this gorgeous new makeup. There are a TON of skin & brow tones in this pack, everything from goth white to deep rich tan, each one beautifully rendered. Run! Get it now!

Strike a Pose

Are you as overwhelmed with all of the generous goodies & sales available this weekend, as I am? XD

If you haven't heard, Striking Poses has opened the fabulous new Harlow Sim. Today is the official grand opening party & to celebrate a bunch of the shops have set out a pile of goodies for FREE! Here's just a little of what you'll find.



Left to Right:
1 - Pout... Get Fresh Chocolate (comes with shoes & headband, not shown)
2 - -Ema's Secret- Mini dress silver
3 - T Junction - Dotty Freebie Bikini
4 - SWIM "Harlow" Halter Bikini

Be sure to wander around & check out all the shops, after you've grabbed the freebies. There's loads to see. And there's even a cheapie shop near the beach that's filling up fast with more goodies from designers - all of it under $25L.

For the record, all of the poses used in this post & a lot of my posts for that matter are from Striking Poses. Nearly all of them only $1L each for Subscriber Group Members.

With all the freebies & hunt gifts around, that means we've all got a teensy bit more to spend on some of the sales going on right now - yay! We are so spoiled! XD



Left:
Dress - This is a Fawn - Leda Dress [grey] - $160L
Right:
Scarf - AOHARU_BT_AfghanStole_Black - $40L
Top - *Thimbles* Dollinger Olive Tee Tank - FREE
Socks - MIEL JANE FLOR SOCK - LIGHT - FREE (July Group Gift)

This is a Fawn just opened up a new Mainstore on Starlust & with the opening came some new releases. The dress on the left was a gift from designer OMGWTF Barbecue (we both opened our stores last night & traded goodies ;D) and OMG I freaking love it! Gotta be her best dress yet. So light and ethereal, yet still sexy. Love!

Aoharu is having a 50% off sale and the sim has been flooded with rabid fashionistas since the announcement first went out. I picked up that scarf on the left at the sale for only $40L & paired it with one of the FREE Dollinger tanks from Thimbles & the new Group Gift socks from Miel. The socks come in a fatpack with color changing cuffs & flowers, so you have endless combinations. There's another set of these socks also available for FREE in the Wonderland Hunt. They're totally cute, you gotta get 'em.

So much great stuff! Thank you designers! :D

Mmmmm... Sales....

Regular readers are aware of just how much I loves me a good sale. Today there are two that you absolutely have to hit!

The first is Malt. They're getting ready for summer by slashing prices. Everything is either 50% off, or $100L. Plus, they've recently set up a bargain basement section in the... uh, well, the basement. Sale runs all week & there's loads of great stuff to get. I picked up two very versatile outfits, so it's like getting 5 outfits instead of just 2! (At least that's what I tell my wallet.)


.:MALT:. Fashions - ROXY Outfit - Cerulean - $100L

This next one is both a pretty sundress & a halter top. I paired the top with shorts from Twosome (previously blogged).


Dress/Top - .:MALT:. Fashions - TYRILHA BABYDOLL - Cerise - $100L
Shorts - *TS* Autumn Shorts - Black - $110L (part of a set)

All of the poses used in this post are from Striking Poses. And nearly every single one cost only $1L. Creator Zelly Mornington regularly sets out out dollarabies in the center of her store. And if you've missed one, you can find it up on her XStreet account.

The next big sale going on right now is at Marlys. Designer Marleen Vaughan has decided to close her store for good, in order to pursue RL stuffs. The Polly Jean sim is being sold & Marlys is closing forever. The sale is for this weekend ONLY. There's loads of stuff out right now - including some older stock - all at ridiculously cheap prices. And nearly everything you see is a fatpack. So get your butts down there and give the lady a proper send off.


Hair - .Marlys. Socially Awkward Cupcake licorice - $150 L for a Fatpack of 12 colors
Top - {Gisaci} Hoja Top - Black - $175
Bottoms - .Marlys. The Gernreich Agenda in Coral, Shark, Oceanic & Sunset - $150 L for a Fatpack of 4


.Marlys. Zaara's Wings Tattoo - $1L

To Marly & to all of the designers who are shutting their doors this month (and, sadly, there are an awful lot of you), I would just like to say goodbye & wish you all the very best in everything going forward. Thank you for all of your contributions to Second Life. The grid is richer because of all you have shared. <3

Striking Your Pure Sn@tch

Nice title.

Striking Poses has a bajillion dollarbies. They are always nice. I use them in most of my photos. Yet...I rarely blog them. Sometimes, not always. I want to change that. When I get a new pose I am going to tell you what it is! Here are three of the latest 1L poses from Striking Poses you might be seeing me use ( Monica Belluci, Kristen Stewart, Marlon Brando):

So nice, see?? Also, there is a group gift for subscribo members at the front of the store. This clover is really cute and I, of course, needed to sex it up. Mwa ha ha! There are two big clovers as well as a small hand held clover in the gift.

Next up, Pure Style has a new vote gift. Basically you just go to the store, hit the voting thing, and BAM new green dress for you. Woot! Love it.

And finally, don't forget to get this free gift from Sn@tch in store. No hunting required :P The dress, hat, and a candle are included; the cross necklace was a prixe from the lucky dip.
