Summer huntin’, had me a blast

Summer huntin’, had me a blast

OK, this has probably been blogged to hell and back everywhere else, but I’ve been away and it’s my turn to blog it, dammit! :P

R.icielli is running a Summer Hunt at their mainstore. There are 20 golden shells to find (they’re really easy to spot, so it’s a simple hunt) and inside each shell is a fabulous item. The shells cost L$15 each to buy, but consider this: if you buy all of them you’ll be getting 20 items for the price of one or two of the most expensive items in the store. That’s one heck of a bargain!

Here are just three of the items that Mar put together into a great outfit:

Well, today is (apparently!) Fifty 5 Thursday, and today Mar found a gorgeous dress for just L$55 at PurpleMoon Creations as part of this week’s batch of cheapies:

Kunglers’ April group gift

Kunglers’ April group gift

Ladies, the new April group gift from Kunglers is gorgeous! Join the Kunglers Fashion Design group (L$50 join fee, but you get a freebie every month!) and check group notices for this lovely belted green dress with an accompanying necklace in old gold and teal:

Other styling: Mar’s hair is from LoQ, shoes are an old limited-edition group gift from LeLutka (and they match perfectly!), earrings are from Ticky Tacky (and I can’t currently find an in-world store location for them *sadface*) and skin and eyes are by Tuli. Poses are by Glitterati :)

Go girly :)

Go girly :)

Thanks to a freebie version of Pixeldolls’ latest release, Mar’s gone all girly for spring!

The Prairie Dress in cherry pink is available at the Pixeldolls mainstore as the sample shade for this new design, and can also be worn as a top, when the skirt is removed. Here, Mar’s teamed it with the L$10 colour-change Cutiepie Pumps from the Baby Monkey Outlet Store, Pazazz Hair’s Jessica in mocha (from a freebie fatpack at Savoir Hair – she’s just edited the hair ties and clips until they match the pink of her dress) and the adorable L$10 I Heart U necklace and earrings set from Chuculet. Poses are by Glitterati.

Spring is finally here!

Group gifts from Kunglers and Baby Monkey

Group gifts from Kunglers and Baby Monkey

Three new group gifts for you, this time from Kunglers and from Baby Monkey.

Search for and join the Kunglers Fashion Design group (L$50 to join) and check group notices for this cute dress with prim sleeves and a pretty, flower-like skirt:

In this pic, Mar’s hair is from one of the fabby free fatpacks (male and female styles available) at Exile‘s mainstore. Her shoes are new from R2 (not free, but I have a pair of great boots like this in real life, and people sometimes tell me, “Oh, the strap on your boots is slipping!” – well, it’s meant to look that way!)

Hop behind the cut for two free pairs of shoes from Baby Monkey :)

Dany Free Touch

Dany Free Touch

UPDATE: Sadly, the Dany French Touch store no longer seems to be in-world, and the dollarbie items that Dany had for sale on SL Marketplace aren’t there any more, so I’ve removed the link to the store (as people were still clicking it to visit there).

Dany French Touch has dropped a blinder of a sale in-world. Everything in the store is now free. I fear this may be the precursor to Dany closing the store (if we lose yet another wonderful designer then Mar may well just cry!) but the group notice gave no mention of a limited time, or even of a closing down sale, so let’s hope it’s just a supremely generous offer.

Ladies, if you want gowns, then you MUST go to this sale. Gents, if you want suits, formalwear, roleplay outfits, or even just some great, well-textured clothes, then you need to pay a visit, too. Everyone: outfit your alts!

BE WARNED: the store has been packed with avatars since the notice went out. Mar’s LM above will land you slap in the middle of it, so if you’re worried about dropping on someone’s head and want to land somewhere a bit quieter, paste the LM into chat in-world and click it. Then, click the ‘Show on Map’ button. You’ll be able to see the piles of green dots showing where avatars are, and you should be able to make out the store. Click somewhere around the store in an empty space, then click the Teleport button. (If you’re high up before teleporting, such as in a skybox, then it’s a good idea to fly before you TP, otherwise you’ll end up falling to the ground!)

Hop behind the cut for a few pics of just some of the freebies Mar got there.

Classy Kunglers

Classy Kunglers

Kunglers’ latest group gift is this gorgeous, classy black dress and sculpted jacket. Search groups for Kunglers Fashion Design (the group is L$50 to join) and check group notices :)

An elegant start to 2011

An elegant start to 2011

Ladies, I hope your wallets still have some loose change in them after Christmas and the New Year sales, because there are two gorgeous group gifties out there and one fabulous new release (which, at L$175 I’ll admit, is beyond the L$75 remit for SL for Nowt, but what the heck: it’s shoes, damn it, and those are always worth it, right? *g*)

Plunder that purse for the L$50 join fee for the Kunglers Fashion Design group and check group notices for this elegant little Black Mini Dress with sculpted skirt and shoulders. Once you’ve done that, rummage through the (free-to-join) group notices in the Baby Monkey Junkies group for this perfectly-matching Black Sequin Mini Clutch. And finally, head over to HoC and splurge just a little on these Noir Stilettoes with excellent skin-matching and colour-change HUD (with extra colours available on the HUD if you’re a member of the HoC group). If you have change to spare from this little spree, then the perfect jewellery accompaniment is the Suffragette set (includes other items not shown here) from Ticky Tacky (currently without a mainstore but with satellite locations in several places, including here).

Mar’s skin is Tanya (a past group gift from Tuli), her hair is Seth in AlmostGoth (a past hunt gift from LeLutka) and poses are from Glitterati.

Hop behind the cut for a closer look at the shoes!

The Snow Queen

The Snow Queen

Well, Christmas is over (somebody had to say it!) but we’re still in the grip of the SL winter. One of my favourite wintry stories is The Snow Queen, and as Mar shivered her way around the grid today she managed to put together a lovely Snow Queen look.

Her dress and hair are from limited-time offers at The Dressing Room Blue. The White Christmas dress is Kunglers’ TDRB offering, at L$60, and the lovely fatpack of Mindy hair in 48 shades with fluffy white earmuffs is Exile’s TDRB offering, also at L$60. If you search Groups for Gala & Rita Design Announcements (free to join) and join the group that pops up, you’ll find Curio’s beautiful Ice Queen skin in five tones (ranging from dark to very pale) in the group’s notices, with dark and light variations on each tone and freckled versions of all tones.  Finally, Mar’s boots are the colour-change Nudey Boots (L$100) from HoC Apparel.

I’ve got more snuggly goodness for you, in the form of two lovely hair-with-hat gifts sent out to Amacci‘s subscribo members. Male and female versions included! Hop behind the cut for pics.
