De-noob for nowt: Duck eggs!

De-noob for nowt: Duck eggs!

Huh?

Duck egg blue, of course! It’s the colour of this pretty little freebie dress from Garage. In fact, Mar’s entire look here is absolutely free. Most of it is from stores on Marketplace, which is Second Life’s out-world shopping site, but a couple of items are limited-time offers, and one is a lucky board freebie.

Firstly, her shape is from this freebie skin/shape pack by Imagine, on Marketplace (at least, that’s what I think the store is called, going by the creator’s profile; sorry if I got it wrong!).

Her skin is the current group freebie at AL Vulo! (paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group window and join – it’s absolutely free – then head to the store with your group tag active and click the panel inside the little wooden shed outside).

Her hair is a freebie from A&A on Marketplace, and you can find it here. It’s a lovely, loose little up-do with a colour-change barrette. This style will only be free until February 28th 2012.

Her shoes are from the lucky boards at Baby Monkey. Head to the store and wait until the first letter of your username (that’s the name you log in with, not the display name that you can change!) comes up on either the boards or the lucky chairs, then click or sit to win!

Finally, her eyes are a freebie from Virtual Diva, here on Marketplace.

I’ve put another pic behind the cut which shows off the back of the hairstyle, and the super-cute butt on this shape ;)

Boho elegance for nowt

Have you been to The Free Dove lately? If not, it’s time you checked it out again, because they have a load of great new stuff from some of SL’s top designers. Mar picked up a gorgeous dress by Indyra Originals there, and put together a lovely, elegant boho look for absolutely nothing!

[ Mesh ] – Free Christmas dress at Curious Kitties

[ Mesh ] – Free Christmas dress at Curious Kitties

So I finally installed a mesh-capable viewer so I could blog some of the great free and cheap mesh content available on the grid. Please take note of the tags and headers to these posts: you’ll need a mesh-capable viewer in order to see these items as they’re meant to be seen.

I visited the Curious Kitties Mesh Cafe, wherein they have some great freebies set out amid the new, priced mesh items. I found this fabby little Christmas dress, absolutely free, and paired it with the L$10 glittery mesh pumps from Leverocci, in the With Love hunt (ends Jan 6th 2012 and each item costs L$10).

Free textures (and fun!) at the Linden Home Infohubs

Free textures (and fun!) at the Linden Home Infohubs

Free textures are always great, and there are some great Linden-made sets available for you to use in your creations at the Linden Home Infohubs. Plus, you can have a lot of fairy-chasing fun at one of the Infohubs, and wander around a truly stunning two-sim build at another. What more could you want from a few hours of exploring?

 

Hop behind the cut! (And be warned: I have a lot of pics for you, so click the link and go make a cup of tea or something while it loads *g*)

Vamp it up with new default avatars and some great freebies!

Vamp it up with new default avatars and some great freebies!

Check in your inventory’s Library folder, peeps. There are some new default avatars available to you. Open the Library > Clothing > Initial Outfits folder and scroll down to find six vampires and six mesh werewolves. The vampires are from Pulse (and feature some awesome skins and hair) and the mesh weres are courtesy of Damien Fate.

Since I don’t use a mesh-capable viewer I can’t preview the weres for you, but I can show you the vampires! There are three female and three male, and don’t forget: you don’t have to wear everything in one go! For the leader pic in this post Mar is wearing skin and hair from one of the new female avatars, shirt and pants from one of the new male avatars, plus a fantastic free gothic unisex coat from Davinel and new free unisex black leather boots from Gabriel!

Hop behind the cut for pics of all the new vampire avatars, plus more details on the other freebies :)

BOO!

BOO!

Come down off the ceiling. I’m not that scary! :p

Guess what, peeps? Frick is back! Yay! Fricka Morgath has set up shop again, and a gorgeous little Halloweeny shop it is, too, sitting in a lovely autumnal skybox surround. She currently has seven witches’ hats in the store, set out for L$1 each. Between them they contain five skins and two dresses, so hustle your orange-and-black butts over there and get hunting. It’s not difficult, and you should find them pretty easily. Also, hover your cursor over the ads in the store, because many of the skins are set for sale at cheaper prices than the ads show!

Now, Mar’s not gonna bombard you with Halloween stuff, so unless something else spookily great turns up, this is your Halloween outfit post for this year. She had a lot of fun in the sim that she visited to take these pics. It’s a great place to take your friends; full of spooky surprises!

Hop behind the cut for credits and tons more fun pics!

Quick freebie fix: Halloween eyes from Amacci

Quick freebie fix: Halloween eyes from Amacci

Ladies and gents, hie thee to Amacci where you will find (in both the eyes section and on the big freebie wall in the hair section) two pairs of grey/brown eyes set out for free: one pair with a normal sclera (the white of the eye) and one with a completely black sclera.

You’ll land at the landing point (the store is pretty busy, so fly before you take the teleport; that way you can rise up and away from anyone idling at the landing point, instead of flailing!) then head east (following the crowd!) and go into the hair section. Just past the first wall on your right is the freebie wall, and you’ll find the eyes there. Here’s a direct link that should place a red arrow on your screen to the freebie wall.

Mesh: A fabulous, freebie, full-perm office

Mesh: A fabulous, freebie, full-perm office

OK peeps. I said I would only be blogging mesh items here if I found an absolutely incredible offer, and I’ve done just that. This utterly fantabulous offer from Meli Imako is something you simply cannot pass up on, whether you’re a builder or not.

Full-perm mesh – Modern Office Desk Set

I don’t use a mesh-capable viewer, so I’m pinching Meli’s Marketplace image for this post (hope you don’t mind, Meli!)

This item is not only free, it’s full permission. That means you can pull it apart, examine it, rebuild it, change the colours; whatever you like. Builders, you can use it in your own creations (although, as with all full-perm stuff, you mustn’t re-sell the item as-is, as though it were entirely your own creation).

Please remember: you MUST be using a viewer capable of rendering mesh in order to see this as it’s meant to be in-world.

It’s Kunglers group gift time again! This month in group notices you’ll find this lovely blue print dress with a dark blue sash belt:

If you’re not already in the Kunglers group, paste this link into open chat and click it to join (there’s a L$50 join fee, but you get a gift like this one every month). Check group notices and the dress will be in there until approximately 9th October.

Mar’s teamed it with two offers from today’s Fifty5 Thursday series. The Tamra hair by Calico Ingmann comes in a fatpack of “Calico’s Picks” (40 colours total: 20 plain and 20 highlighted, covering a wide spectrum of colours). Also from the Fifty5 Thursday series is this lovely Bubbles necklace (the set includes earrings, too) from PurpleMoon Creations. Remember: These are only available for L$55 today (September 29th 2011).
