Festive mood

There are some lovely hunts on at the moment. I'm showing here earrings and necklaces from two of them: the Peace on earth hunt and the Candy Cane hunt. I have to say that once I'd taken the picture I just kept on one necklace and set of earrings! The gown was actually a hunt gift too, but I'm afraid I'm too late blogging it for it still to be there. However, it is always worth keeping an eye on Paris Metro as they have very generous hunt gifts there.

Pale and interesting

All freebies or dollarbies! La Petite Fleur is a real find: they had free knitwear and 3 lucky boards. Glam Affair charges 30 Linden to join the group, but this skin is very much worth it. The shoes cost 2 Linden in total for about 5 different patterns: you get one set of shoes at The Dressing Room and the other at the Dressing Room Blue.

Some nice (current) group gifts here: the mesh dress and the hair (a very pretty side swept look). The tights, JPK and YBR jewelery and sneakers were free at the Beginners Luck fair http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Palomarian/24/101/778

Non-mesh elegance

A gorgeous group gift from Kunglers shows that you don't have to be in Mesh to look lovely! I'm also wearing new hair from Truth (not free/cheap) and good value items from Duh! (none over 25 Linden, and I also picked up some cute clogs from the lucky chair whilst I was there!)

Sunning myself

This dress from Maitreya has been all over the feeds and is not free or cheap, but I couldn't resist it! I combined it with various freebies and chaepies from my inventory. The Truth hair is Mesh and their latest yummy group gift.

Casual glance

Lots of nice free stuff here, most of which is still available! At the Bombi event I mentioned in my last post I snagged the hair from the lucky boards there and a skin for 1 Linden. The lips are very dark, so I covered them up with an old lipstrick I had in my inventory. SF Designs always has great gifts, for men and women, and this month's were these great chinos. Tokidoki also does good for its group members, with a special colour of new releases, in this case a sweet mesh top. I spent most money in Dark Mouse's discount shop - lots of nice sets for only 10Linden each. The pictures were taken at Melino Style.

On my way

As you can see, I haven't changed my shoes for two months! The shoes and tights went well with this group gift dress. The hair isn't free but i really love this wispy look. The suitcases are from the current Bombi event. You can get freebies on the lucky boards, so I will be back there for more.

Groovin'

Seems I forgot to publish this blog post from March! I'm dressed in various hunt and group gifts from then. Ali&Ali always have some bargain free or dollarbie hair on Marketplace. In March it was this fluffy hair, Jill.

Transitional

This is a look that will take me from winter to spring. It features the Kungler's group gift dress for February 2012 and the free scarf from Mr Poet (colour change). The striped flats were picked up at last weekend's Disco Deals, and were 20 Linden from Duh. The leggings are an old gift from Royal Blue, tinted to match the dress. I just joined the Mynerva group (50 Linden) and that got me two free skins and some makeup: this is the Sara Pure skin. My hair wasn't free: it's a fun style from Dura. The cute Chibiwings are an instore gift from KUE!
The photos were taken in the Patron sim.

New Year Kimono

I got this pretty kimono from the Lucky Board in MiuMin - it is a complete outfit. I am also posing in MiuMin's posing box, that they have have on sale in the kimono shop. You can feel like a precious kimono dolly!

I also got some tea in Atelier Kreslo, and a free Chinese New Year balloon at Purple Moon. I am drinking my tea in Itutu here.


And finally this is me in Atelier Kreslo, drinking tea and eating toast.

Late post

I am about to post another outfit using this MiuMin pose box, but I couldn't resist sharing a picture of me in the beautiful free gown that G Field had out over Christmas. As you will see, I kept my skates on though!
