dresses – Page 5 – SL for Nowt

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 ;)

Quick cheapie fix – Thursday 15th Dec ONLY!

December 15, 2011 Mar

UPDATE: This offer is now over.

Hi peeps! I have a quick cheapie fix for you, courtesy of Purplemoon Creations. For today ONLY (15th Dec 2011) these two outfits are just L$55 each for the Fifty5 Thursdays theme:

[ Mesh ] – Free Christmas dress at Curious Kitties

December 11, 2011 Mar

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).

BOO!

October 17, 2011 Mar

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!

True Blue

September 29, 2011 Mar

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).

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!

August 14, 2011 Mar

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!
