Attitude

Dimi hasn't been posting to this blog much because for the past couple of years she's been using the Coco fashion doll avatar. This is not free, and also there is a limited range of clothes that work with the doll body, and no skins, although most hair is fine. However, I couldn't resist posting this snap of her: I think it shows why she's stuck with the doll avatar! The gorgeous wings are from AIR and the hair by Tram.

Free halloween

Sheila is showing off some great freebies: the Magika witch hat (subscribo gift) and the G. Field dress and tights (free to all instore) Grab them while you can! She's contrasting it with teh cute kitchen on sale at Spargel and Shine - even witches have to eat!

Zoe in red

It seems like Bliss Couture has been closing forever, but they do have some very nice bargains, with lots of free gifts if you are a group member. Zoe found this Brandy dress and in particular a very nice red ! Bliss Fur ! Fur Wrap which is light and fluffy. She went to Duh to get some cheap red pumps, and pulled on some vintage silver stockings. Also vintage is the jewellery, part of the Slither package that was completely free. The hair was one of AandA's promo deals on Marketplace (they always seem to have some hair on promo, so worth looking at their store regularly). This Riha hair has very glossy bouncy curls. Finally, the skin by Birdy (Ingrid) was very cheap at event .... but Zoe couldn't remember which one ;-)
She was posing in Alirium Gardens, where they have a  lot of new mesh trees on sale.

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.

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!)
