Symphony in blue

Zoe agreed to model this stunning dress that was a Mother's Day freebie from Nicky Ree: the Satin Shine dress in blue floral. Of course, the plain pink version of Satin Shine is a constant freebie in her store, and the other colours are also good value. This dress has a fabulous chiffon skirt that swirls as you walk. Another freebie set goes amazngly well: the Vintage sets of necklace, bangle bracelet and earrings are all free in the (luc) store (formerly Earthtones) owned by Luc Lameth. This is the spring colour which picks out the colours in the dress. The headpiece and the spiral bracelet are part of the huge Slither set which Random Calliope offers free to all SL residents. You can pick up a substantial number of these sets in a package in the CILR building on Infolit iSchool. Zoe is wearing the Powder Blue version. Her hair was part of the free drow avatar that was previously available at Monsoon (I just blogged the current freebie at Monsoon, see the last entry). Her skin is the free skin at Fancy Fairy and her wings (just seen) are also from there, but not free.

Mystique journey

These lovely brown shoes, a subscribomatic gift from G Field, were the start of my quest today. Just go to their mainstore, click the group board (if you haven't already). If you are already a member, click the board, select History and look at the recent messages which have the gift attached.

In the first picture I am wearing Jill stockings (free on the store wall at Jill), a skirt which I'm afraid is no longer available (free from Bijou) and a top which is part of a current dollarbie set at Concrete Flowers. These are really versatile tops and come in a selection of colours. The jewelery is all freebie from Yak and Yeti and I have on my favourite Avarice hair.

In the second picture I have on the bodice, obi and skirt from the free set at Monsoon; the "Earth Fire" outfit which includes a lot more items including long flowing hair. I give a closeup of the fan tucked into the obi. With it I have the Basha hair which is free today in all colours at Dark Mouse. While I was there I picked up the freebie pack of jewels she has out, and am wearing the Fleur de Lys necklace.

All the pictures were taken in the lovely Mystique island. It is well worth a visit. You get the heart-emitting rose free when you walk, fly past the open-air dance floor area, and in the second picture I am doing Tai Chi in front of the temple.

Relaxing

This outfit results from the Mashooka sim celebration - there were lots of free little boxes scattered around, with delightful Mashooka garments inside them. Here I am wearing a blouse and trousers from the event.

While I was wearing this, Pixeldolls dropped a pretty group gift, lace collar and "gloves" from the Bella set. These are decorating my hands, together one of the Yak and Yeti bangle sets that are always useful.

My hair (Avarice from BishHair), shoes (Baby Monkey brown hide wedges), necklace (Uzuri's Rhama necklace, not free), skin (an old skin from a Relay for Life event) and eyes (Miriel, not free) are as in the last picture. I am relaxing at the home and garden exhibition that just finishes today, in a Queen Anne chair from GOS.

Radio on

I had an enjoyable time in AM Radio's Welsh Lakes sim: 3 amazing artworks/ landscapes, one at ground level and two in the sky. The two sky ones are shown here. In the top one there are umbrellas tumbling round as well, and you can get a Mary Poppins umbrella free (it unfurls when you fly)
Anyway - on to the clothes. I'm afraid that the main two items in these pictures are not free, but the En Svale "chiffon dress" is adorable and cost under 200 Linden. The "Rhama" necklace is also priced, but one of many striking pieces at Uzuri.
The rest is free: this is another pair of freebie stockings from Jill, the brown cow hide wedges were a hunt freebie from Baby Monkey, and the bangles are from the free store Yak and Yeti. I'm yet again wearing the Avarice hair that I got free (though it's free no longer) from Bishhair.

Purple pleasures

Some great freebie-hunting started with the Periquita group gift shoes - a dream in aubergine patterned leather. I was seeking out mauve toned items to go with it and ended up with this spring-like combination. The tights were in a freebie pack on the wall of Jill: there is a pack of dark and of pale coloured tights. While I was there I joined the Jill group and snapped up the dress in the final picture, together with a couple of others - fun and flirty items.

However I didn't feel the black and white dress really toned in with the shoes, and it wasn't until I came across the light patterned summer dress above that I felt satisfied. It was possibly a dollarbie rather than a freebie from anuenue. The jewelry was free: the necklace and the earrings are from the Lucky boards at Twinkleberry: they change letters every 5 minutes and include a wildcard, so you don't usually have to wait too long to get some loot! The glowing bracelets are not free any more, but were part of the Easter Hunt from Alienbear Gupte. I am still wearing the Avarice hair from BishHair.

From RFL

As Relay for Life is such a good cause I spent some of my Linden at RFL, but there were some good freebies too! In these pictures I am wearing SySy's freebie "Faith" dress, together with the jewels from Alienbear Gupte. Her Zivanit Earrings and the matching necklace cost just 5 Linden each, but they raised a good amount of money, they are such good value.
My "Tessa" boots were from the Bluebell Productions stand. The bracelet was a freebie that I think I picked up instore (not in RFL). It is from Girl's Style (GS) - the "Autumn" bracelet in pink.
I am wearing my Avarice hair from Bishhair (originally a dollarbie) and eyes from Miriel.

Last St Patrick's post

This post features a number of St Patrick's day goodies - so only a few hours left to snatch those! However the luscious dress is the March group gift from LVS&co - so just tp to their store and click the Update Group board to join the group and get your gift. The shoes are also a group gift - colour change wedgies from Baby Monkey (and note that this group is FREE to join again).
My glowing skin and the platinum/emerald necklace are parts of the Genesis St Paddy's hunt. The gifts are in tiny tiny boxes in the main store - the island is well worth wandering round (that's where I took the pictures). I'm also wearing Kunstkammer's gold medallion necklace from another hunt, GF Field's group gift ring (as before) and the other jewelery is from U&R Dogs. I found the earrings as a freebie in their store, the multistrand bracelet was mine for only 5 minutes camping, again in their mainstore (in Sepia) and the other bracelet was a St Patrick's freebie in their shop in Hope Valley.
Happy St Patrick's day!
