Kunglers Outlet

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!

Gothique (includes limited-time offers)

Gothique (includes limited-time offers)

There are a couple of very limited-time offers in this look, so if you want them, you need to get your skates on!

The first of the limited-time offers is the dress. This is the Glitter Holiday Mesh Dress in black (other colours, and non-glittery ‘swirl’ versions also available) and it’s just L$60 today (Sunday Dec 9th) at Sweeter Than Candy. It’s part of the 60L Weekends offers.

The other limited-time offer also ends today, and that’s for the stunning Eternal Eyes in the ‘peak’ shade, from IKON. This is a group gift, so if you’re not already a member then paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group-join box (it’s free-to-join), then – with your group tag active – head to the IKON store and click the box inside for the freebie.

Hop behind the cut for info on all the other items!

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!

Awesome Exile: three huge free fatpacks of hair!

Awesome Exile: three huge free fatpacks of hair!

UPDATE – PLEASE READ! The original notice sent out was borked. Many places have been telling you that you need to grab notice #2, but that one had something wrong with it. You need to grab notice #1 – screenshot before the cut – which begins: Oct 21, 12: 3 TRDB styles Have been released in all colors into my subscribo! THAT is the message with the gifts in it!

Okay, I’ll admit it. I actually clapped my hands, squealed, and would have hopped up and down if I wasn’t sitting in a chair. This is such an awesome gift!

Ladies, head to the Exile store and click to join the subscribe-o-matic there. Once you’ve joined, click again and look in the history for this fabulous gift. It comprises three styles from past Dressing Room collections, released in all colours. Your inventory’s hair folder will be heaving after this, because ‘all colours’ means 62 shades! (If you’re already in the subscribe-o, check that you received these!)

These are fabulous sculpted styles of hair: one cute up-do with a colour-change bow, one sexy, messy side-braid, and one elegant up-do. I’ve shown neutral shades here, but in those 62 colours you’re bound to find that special shade you love!

Here’s the first: Betty Lou, shown here in the Hollywood shade. Mar has (of course!) coloured her bow purple ;)

This is the notice you need to grab. Make sure you get the right one! It starts with 3 TDRB Styles released:

Hop behind the cut for pics of the other two styles :)

A Dura-ble gift!

*groans* I swear, my puns are getting worse…

Ladies! Gents! Join the Dura group (paste this link into chat and click it to bring up the group join window; it’s free!) and hie thee – with the group tag active, to the Dura store. Inside, at the far end, you’ll find two gift hair fatpacks: one cute 12-colour curly up-do for the ladies and a long, 14-colour bowler-hatted style for the gents.

Hop behind the cut for a pic of the gents’ style :)

De-noob for Nowt: Golden Autumn

De-noob for Nowt: Golden Autumn

It’s been a while since I wrote a De-noob for Nowt post, and I’ve noticed that I seem to be moving away from ‘nowtiness’ and into ‘moneyness’ on the blog. Since this blog is called SL for Nowt, it seems rather silly of me to post almost exclusively about offers that you need some money for, be they the ‘up to L$75’ items, or the ‘L$50 pay-to-join group’ items. I need to start re-injecting the blog with nowtiness again!

To that end, I’m reviving this series of posts. The De-noob for Nowt posts contain entire avatar looks for free. Not a single Linden buck required to be spent. To that end, I have created a new alt (say hi to Ruth!) and she has absolutely NO money (poor lass!) I won’t be transferring even so much as L$1 to her, in order to buy a dollarbie. She’s skint and she’ll stay that way, so that I can bring you some entirely-freebie looks :)

Here’s the first, which I call Golden Autumn.

Everything in this look is absolutely free (and almost all from Marketplace), so hop behind the cut for more pics and info :)
