Boho chic at The Wash’s Cart Sale

Boho chic at The Wash’s Cart Sale

UPDATE: The Cart Sale is now over.

The huge L$10 cart sale at The Wash is ongoing, and ends on September 28th. There are loads of little carts all rezzed in the road, with nothing on them costing over L$10. Mar’s put together a great boho look for just L$60 in total. Guys, there’s quite a bit of male stuff on the carts, too, so head over to check it out! (And, boys, don’t forget that things like the Sn@tch jeans in this post can be worn by male avatars, too. Just because the model on the ad is a girl that doesn’t mean you can’t try the clothing out!)

The pants are from the Sn@tch cart, which is full of Ivey’s usual gorgeous goodies (and you can’t sniff at those prices, either). The skin is one of several offered on the Style by Kira cart. The top and jacket are from the Allusions cart (L$10 per item) which also has lots of other lovely stuff. And the boots and necklace are L$10 each from the Battle Fairy cart (the necklace is on one side and the brown boots are on the other side). Mar’s hair is from the huge freebie Adena fatpack at Amacci.

Hop behind the cut for more Amacci freebies, and a pic of an even more boho (but sadly not free) hair that Mar wore to complete this look!

Easing into autumn

Easing into autumn

Thanks to some fabby gifts on the grid right now, Mar’s slowly easing into autumnal colours.

First up is SF Design‘s gorgeous instore freebie for September: the Burgundy Leather Biker Pants. Male and female versions are available, so look in the relevant store!

Next up is the new freebie group gift skin from Al Vulo: London Piccadilly Circus (milk). If you’re not already a group member, paste this link into open chat and click on it to bring up the group-join window (the group’s free to join). Then, teleport to the Al Vulo store (it’s a good idea to be flying before you teleport, because the landing spot gets busy!) and – while wearing your group tag – click the ad on the back wall of the little wooden shack there.

Mar’s teamed these freebies with another from the Sn@tch Bargain Pit: the Way 80s Dress in cocoa. Follow the red arrow down into the pit and it should take you to the right place. I’ve put a screenshot of the exact location behind the cut.

Lastly, is Hoc Industries‘ latest release: the colour-change Platform Pumps. While not free, these are a great investment, as you get a ton of colour options (even more if you wear your HoC Industries group tag before wearing the HUD).

Hop behind the cut for more info on the items, where exactly to find that Sn@tch dress, and how Mar got her hair the perfect colour for this look!

Skybox, sweet skybox

I have two bargainous skyboxes for you this weekend. The first is a permanent freebie from Domicile: the Norfolk Skybox. It’s a 10m x 20m skybox in soothing pastel colours and it’s 17 prims. You actually get two skyboxes in the pack: a plain one and one with spotted end walls.

Here’s the plain one:

Hop behind the cut for a pic of the other one, and for a limited-time (this weekend only!) gorgeous night-time skybox from A:S:S :)

Late summer poppies

Late summer poppies

Ladies, the new group gift from Kunglers is a lovely one. Paste this link into chat and click on it to bring up the group join window. Kunglers’ group costs L$50 to join, but you get a great free outfit every month. I know I always look forward to seeing what it is!

This month there is a pretty dress and ring set in group notices. The dress has a sculpted skirt and comes with a prim belt as well. The ring is a gorgeous red flower. Mar’s teamed the whole outfit with the L$30 Chunky Stilettos 2 from HoC Industries (colour-change, so they’ll match just about anything!), the free Ellie hair (shown here: the chocolate shade from the fatpack that you get) from Tameless Hair @ Savoir Hair, and the pretty Silver Heart Pendant, free from Virtual Impressions at the Vanity Hair mall.

Mar’s skin is the current group gift at Al Vulo. Paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group join window (it’s free to join) then teleport over to the Al Vulo store. The nilpez – orange kauai skin is in the little wooden shack that you’ll land in front of. Simply click the image at the back while you have your group tag enabled.

Also included in the look are the Sexy Girl Red prim nails from Love Soul.

Script Count
All together, this outfit has a script count of 60 scripts, which can be reduced to 49 if you remove the scripts in the hair and belt (once you’ve re-sized them to fit you). If you don’t wear the ring then the script count goes down to just 21, so it’s a lovely low-script look. Read more here about script counts and why they’re important.

 

Weekend mashup!

Weekend mashup!

I love mixing and matching clothes. A skirt from here, a top from there. Just because you’ve bought an outfit that doesn’t mean you must wear the whole thing at the same time. Take the belt and put it with something else. Try the top from that gown with a pair of jeans!

Today’s look comprises a couple of great sale items/cheap offers, with two bits of freebies. First up, ladies and gents, get yourselves to Aitui, where all of the old hairstyles are on sale at L$25 per colour. These will soon be retired, so it’s your last chance to grab some great hair. (Please note: the hairbases and the new styles in the very centre of the store are not on sale; only the stuff on the outer walls is L$25 each.)

Mar’s second bargain is the gorgeous shoes from Adam n Eve. On taking a teleport over to check out their Moody Mondays item (gorgeous, sexy lingerie, and it’s out early today in the middle of the store for L$55; offer ends Monday night) she also discovered that there was a shoe sale on. After digging in her pockets for a great pair of shoes, she then spotted these ones set out on a table in the shoe section, for just L$10!

Lastly, two freebie bargains. The skirt is from the three-pack of dresses by Elate at The Free Dove, and the top is from the pack of items by Bingo at FabFree. Phew!

Hop behind the cut for a closeup of the shoes :)

Collabor88ing on a great new designer discount store

Collabor88ing on a great new designer discount store

Collabor88 is a new designer discount store, much in the vein of The Dressing Room and others. Everything in the store is L$88 (so, sadly, it’s out of the L$75 remit of this blog) but there is a great freebie at the store right now.

If you join the Collabor88 group (free to join; either click the multi-screen joiner at the location or paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group-join page) then you can get this fabby pack of Cassia Glitter Mini Dresses from The Sea Hole, in six colours (brass tax, cafe (shown here), cerulean, lilac, peridot, and pewter), free! The board to grab them is right by that multiple tv screen group joiner in the store; just have your group tag active and click to receive them.

(Mar’s also wearing two other items from the store: one colour from the full fatpack of hair by Truth, and shoes by R2.)

It’s been a while…

It’s been a while…

Yes, I’m back. There’s a longer post over at my Ponderings blog, if you want to read more.

So… back to it! Where to begin? OK, how about with the current TDR Blue collection, because it’s still summer (at least here in the northern hemisphere) and as soon as Mar spotted this gorgeous skirt from Tee*fy she had to have it! Also from the TDR Blue collection this month is the LeoLuxe belt from Mimikri (and I love the resizing options on this; they let you resize in different directions instead of just making the whole belt bigger, so if you’ve got a plush bottom you can accommodate that without having the belt be six inches too wide sideways!)

The top is from the current Summer Hunt at R.icielli (more on that in the post to follow), the skin is a group gift from Exodi (hop behind the cut for info on that!) and the flipflops are lovely little cheapies from Magi Take.

Hop behind the cut!

Saturday shopping

Saturday shopping

Here’s a cute outfit for those days when it’s warm outside and you fancy a shopping trip. Mar’s pants are the L$10 Lina Pants (fabby slouchy prim cuffs on these!) and her top is the L$10 Capri Top in gold, both from the Beauty Avatar Couture Discount Room. Her shoes are the adorable Jelly Beans flats in yellow, from Roly Poly, which are free on Marketplace, here. Her bag is actually the bag that the shoes came in. Mar loved it so much that she’s added it to her folder of ‘great shopping bags’ to tote around when she’s on a shopping spree!

Hop behind the cut for a closer look at the shoes :)
