Relaxing at Bahia

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.

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!
