Quick cheapie fix: Mini Thanksgiving sale at Sn@tch!

Quick cheapie fix: Mini Thanksgiving sale at Sn@tch!

Hi peeps!

There’s a mini-Thanksgiving sale at Sn@tch, until Friday Nov 23rd (so get your skates on!)

Ivey has placed a board in the centre of the store with some gorgeous, massively-reduced items on it. Prices start at L$25 and go up to L$50. There’s a gift in a bag under the board, too! Come grab a bargain :)

Yes, I’m still hanging around in the store. There’s a new fishing outfit out, and it’s purple! *g*

Hop behind the cut for just one outfit Mar put together from the sale :)

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!

Put your hands in your pockets!

I seem to be all about free and cheap hair lately!

Firstly, with regard to the Exile Hair group gifts that I blogged yesterday: please read the edit on my previous post [ link ], as it seems that people are picking up the wrong item from the subscribe-o-matic and assuming the gift has been removed. It hasn’t been removed – it was re-packed and sent out again later because something was wrong with the original notice!

OK, onto today’s deal!

I sent Roxie out for a quick jaunt (mainly to make sure she grabbed that huge Exile Hair giveaway) and ended up at Pocket Mirrors, where she found some fab dollarbie and giftie hair.

Pocket Mirrors has an unusual style, and you should visit the store especially if you’re a lover of vintage hairstyles.

The dollarbie is a brilliantly-mad curled and knotted up-do called Myrtle, which comes in three colours: brick, light blonde, and majestic:

Hop behind the cut for the others. Guys, there’s male hair group gifts available, too!

She’s just a devil woman

She’s just a devil woman

(I never thought I would begin a blog post with Cliff Richard lyrics. Oh well… there’s a first time for everything!)

Ladies! PurpleMoon has a surprise group gift waiting for you at the store, and they’re in full-on Halloween mode! This amazing ‘Demonia’ outfit, complete with wings, claws, and hooves is free to all group members:

Mar’s teamed it with the new group gift from Al Vulo! – the Livia (Devil is a Woman) skin, cheapie jewellery from Eternal Jewelry, an amazing hairdo from Iconic, and spooky eyes from IKON. Her backdrop in the above pic is a group gift from KaTink Poses: a corner photo backdrop with a sword-embedded skull (three poses), fog and a bat emitter.

Weekend smarts with R.icielli, YS&YS, and MichaMi

Weekend smarts with R.icielli, YS&YS, and MichaMi

Holy cow, I haven’t blogged a Dressing Room collection for ages! The new one is a good’un, though, so here are a couple of items from it, together with one item from the latest mesh clothing hunt at R.icielli :)

The Statement in Pink mesh skirt is from MichaMi at The Dressing Room. Mar has teamed it with just one item – the Blake Jacket in black – from R.icielli’s new Halloween Mesh Hunt, at their mainstore’s mesh department. There are 20 items hidden in the store (they’re very easy to find; just look for the big pumpkins!). Each item costs L$15 to buy, so even if you grab the lot you’ll only be spending roughly what you might pay for any full-price mesh item at any top store :)

Mar’s skin is the oh-so-pretty Sofia Fresh skin from YS&YS at The Dressing Room, and her earrings are a free group gift from Bliensen + Maitai at the Violet Mafia location. Paste this link into chat and click it to join the Violet Mafia group (it’s free, but a busy group, so you might want to disable group notices and check manually once a week), then head to the Violet Mafia Headquarters & Speakeasy, where you’ll find tons of great freebies. Just wear your Violet Mafia group tag and get clicking!

Not free/cheap items in the pic: Shoes are by HoC Industries, hair by Truth, eyes by IKON, nails by Love Soul, poses by Glitterati.

Hop behind the cut for a pic of all the items in the R.icielli hunt :)

The Del Mar store is back!

The Del Mar store is back!

If you’ve been reading SL for Nowt for a while, you’ll know that I gave up my little stall in Baileya some time ago because I wasn’t in-world often enough to keep it running. Well, it’s back, and with added features!

Del Mar can now be found in the sky in Endicott sim, and it comprises two sections. The front is the store itself, with a few useful and fun items that I’ve made, plus a load of freebies. The back section features something new: a photo studio area.

Hop behind the cut for more pics and info!

Under a hundred: Limited-time full male avatar

Under a hundred: Limited-time full male avatar

Normally I don’t blog about anything that costs more than L$75, but there have been rare exceptions in the past. Whenever I’ve done this, I try to label the post accordingly, thus this post is called ‘under a hundred’. Since this is a great offer for the guys out there (and offers like that tend to be few and far between!) it deserved to be blogged, despite coming in at a little over the price remit for SL for Nowt.

The item in question is a limited-time offer on Marketplace from R.icielli – of a full male avatar. The Brian avatar comprises: a modifiable shape, two hairbased skins (one midtone, one tanned – both shown in the first pic on this post), brown eyes, eyebrows, a pair of black boots, a fedora hat, plus two full mesh outfits: one pair of black jeans and one pair of blue jeans (four sizes of each) and one black blazer with white t-shirt and one brown leather jacket with black t-shirt (again, four sizes of each).

The avatar is currently on a promotional offer price of just L$99 on Marketplace.

Please note: this is a limited-time offer. At some point in the future this price may go up.

Ricielli-gance!

Ricielli-gance!

Ricielli is one of the best places for finding cheap mesh content, when they have their frequent store hunts! The current hunt is called the Valentines Brazilian Hunt. If you head to the Ricielli store you’ll find 19 pink heart balloons in the mesh department and one pink heart balloon in the skins department. Each balloon costs L$15 to buy, and most contain mesh clothing or accessories. There are large pictures all around the sim, showing you all the hunt prizes, so you can note down the numbers of the things you really want and go looking for those balloons, or you can click here to see the image. They’re really easy to find!

Here, Mar has put together an elegant look from six of the hunt items (please note: the hairpiece is just a side ponytail; Mar had to find a hairbase to go with it!). The hairpiece, dress, boots, and bag are all mesh items. The hairpiece comes in multiple colours, and the makeup is a multiple pack with lots of different palettes.

 

Weekend treats!

Weekend treats!

Hi peeps!

I’ve been wandering around the Grid today, and found some gorgeous stuff. This all comes from just three stores (four, if you count the prop in the teaser pic) and everything is less than L$75, with one item completely free for this weekend only.

Hop behind the cut!
