Kunglers Outlet

Here’s a gorgeous cheapie dress that I found at the Kunglers Outlet store:

It’s the Claudia Dress in ‘forest’ for just L$60 (there’s also a lovely pink version for the same price). I splurged a bit on some matching jewellery, too (L$150, but gorgeous!)

Mar’s skin is the current Al Vulo! group gift [ group link – free to join ] [ in-world store ] and her hair is a new, limited-time freebie from A&A on Marketplace: the Agnesa Hair in ‘mixed brown’ [ link ] – the promo price for that hair ends on 15th February 2013.

Mar’s shoes are the L$50 colour-change MIB Stilettos from HoC Industries [ in-world store ] and her eyes are the new group gift from IKON: the Lucid Eyes in ‘optimism’ [ group link – free to join ] [ in-world store ]. I’ll be blogging those eyes in detail in another post today.

Happy Rezday to meeee!

Happy Rezday to meeee!

Hi, peeps!

Wow. I can’t believe that Mar’s been in-world for five years now! I know I’ve not been blogging as much lately (RL is pretty busy and I don’t have much energy to run around and find freebies/cheapies, or write up long illustrated tutorials), but I just had to celebrate the occasion with five new looks, all culled from Marketplace (with one in-world group gifty).

Hop behind the cut, for five fabby, cheapie looks!

Happy New Year! (And quick, grab some cheap & free party frocks!)

Happy New Year! (And quick, grab some cheap & free party frocks!)

Wishing all of my fabulous readers a Happy New Year, and a wonderful 2013! Thank you so much for being with me in 2012 (and previous years) and I hope to bring you more gorgeous goodies and helpful hints over the year to come :)

Before you hop behind the cut for the dresses, if you want the perfect thing for a best friends New Year card to send out to people or post on Plurk/Flickr/wherever, hop over to Alouette and grab the free gift on the table. Inside you’ll find the ‘girlfriends’ poseballs (a really cute friends pose) together with mesh Happy New Year crowns (one pink – as worn by Mar, above – and one blue) plus two glasses of champagne (which Mar is hogging both of!). Both you and your bestie will have to pick up the gift, as the items are no transfer, but it’s a lovely little freebie :)

OK, onto the frocks! Hop behind the cut :)

Free gift at Del Mar!

Free gift at Del Mar!

Hi, peeps!

This time, the freebie is from me! I wanted to give something as a gift to all my readers that meant something to me, and so I re-made the little castle skybox that I created as my first home in SL. If you’ve been following this blog for a long time, you’ll probably remember seeing pics of me sitting in the garden while I showed you how to create lots of boxes to help with archiving your inventory.

The skybox is 20m x 20m, and the prim count is as follows:

Skybox = 24 prims
Fireplace for upstairs = 6 prims
Fireplace for downstairs (slightly taller chimney!) = 6 prims
Fire grate with touch on/off particle flames = 3 prims

Hop behind the cut for another pic, and where to find it :)

Damien Fate’s “Friendship Bear”

Damien Fate’s “Friendship Bear”

How’s this for a wonderful thing? I’m just going to paste the contents of the notecard that came with this:

“Friendship Bear” 2012 Edition

In celebration of his 9th year as a Second Life resident, Damien Fate has recreated the first object he ever created in SL, the original prim “Friendship Bear”.

Please pass this bear freely to all your friends and give it a loving home!

Bear design inspired by the works of Lou Rankin.

www.damienfate.com

Here’s Damien’s post on his blog about it :)

This is an absolutely adorable, 1-prim mesh bear with a holding animation (you can rez it out in-world, too), and it’s been given freely to the residents of Second Life, to share among their friends. It’s copy/transfer, so you can give as many as you like to those that you love. Thank you, Damien! <3

I’ve put him out on the freebie wall in the Del Mar Store, so hop over and pick up a big, fluffy hug for you and all of your friends! :)

Update: He’s also available on Marketplace!

…not just where you bump and grind it… So live in the… Oh. Sorry. Got carried away there! *ahem*

C’mon! Vogue! *throws silly arm shapes* Join the (free) Vogue Fashion group (paste this link into chat and click it) and head to the store to grab these fabby pink and grey mesh boots.

The colour purple

The colour purple

You know it’s Mar’s favourite colour, right? ;)

Well, before today she had never tried her nifty Marketplace searching tip for ‘purple’. And when she did, she ended up with an amazing full avatar look, for a total cost of just L$23.

 

All items from Marketplace
– Resyva: Free Skin [ link ] L$1
– Sakide: Exposed Top [ link ] free
– Sakide: Pearly Skirt Belt Purple [ link ] free
– Street Kandy: Tempt Boot [ link ] L$10
– A&A: Gloria Hair Moonlight [ link ] L$1
– Taffy: Happy Halloween Eyes [ link ] L$1
– Mad Echo: Sculpted Fabulous Nails [ link ] L$10

Take note: where the skirt is called a ‘belt skirt’ – it really is! Definitely saucy and butt-revealing ;)

Also, the nails are not scripted, so they won’t ‘stick’ to your fingers. A handy freebie to have in this case is the AnyPose Expression HUD from Phate Shepherd Creations, which not only allows you to direct your avatar’s eyes wherever you want them to look, but also lets you pose their hands. Used the ‘both hands relaxed’ option with unscripted prim nails, to prevent that horrible splayed hands effect, which leaves your nails floating in space!
